    • Hello,

      On 15/1/24 booked appointment with Big Motoring World (BMW) to view a mini on 17/1/24 at 8pm at their Enfield dealership.  

      Car was dirty and test drive was two circuits of roundabout on entry to the showroom.  Was p/x my car and rushed by sales exec and a manager into buying the mini and a 3yr warranty that night, sale all wrapped up by 10pm.  They strongly advised me taking warranty out on car that age (2017) and confirmed it was honoured at over 500 UK registered garages.

      The next day, 18/1/24 noticed amber engine warning light on dashboard , immediately phoned BMW aftercare team to ask for it to be investigated asap at nearest garage to me. After 15 mins on hold was told only their 5 service centres across the UK can deal with car issues with earliest date for inspection in March ! Said I’m not happy with that given what sales team advised or driving car. Told an amber warning light only advisory so to drive with caution and call back when light goes red.

      I’m not happy to do this, drive the car or with the after care experience (a sign of further stresses to come) so want a refund and to return the car asap.

      Please can you advise what I need to do today to get this done. 
       

      Many thanks

    • We have finally managed to obtain the transcript of this case.

      The judge's reasoning is very useful and will certainly be helpful in any other cases relating to third-party rights where the customer has contracted with the courier company by using a broker.
      This is generally speaking the problem with using PackLink who are domiciled in Spain and very conveniently out of reach of the British justice system.

      Frankly I don't think that is any accident.

      One of the points that the judge made was that the customers contract with the broker specifically refers to the courier – and it is clear that the courier knows that they are acting for a third party. There is no need to name the third party. They just have to be recognisably part of a class of person – such as a sender or a recipient of the parcel.

      Please note that a recent case against UPS failed on exactly the same issue with the judge held that the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 did not apply.

      We will be getting that transcript very soon. We will look at it and we will understand how the judge made such catastrophic mistakes. It was a very poor judgement.
      We will be recommending that people do include this adverse judgement in their bundle so that when they go to county court the judge will see both sides and see the arguments against this adverse judgement.
      Also, we will be to demonstrate to the judge that we are fair-minded and that we don't mind bringing everything to the attention of the judge even if it is against our own interests.
      This is good ethical practice.

      It would be very nice if the parcel delivery companies – including EVRi – practised this kind of thing as well.

Hi there

 

I have an account with Marbles / Newday.

the credit limit is £600.

 

I'm self employed and had a period of ill health, in hospital over that time things ran away from me a bit.

 

I got out last week and started to tackle the huge pile of letters, charges etc. over the period Oct to January

I missed on average 3 payments with several providers.

 

Over the last week I have made payments to all of them to cover all charges and get me a good chunk under the credit limit on those that it had pushed me over.

 

With marbles the latest statement 14th Feb showed:

 

Credit Limit £600

Overlimit due immediately: £141

Last statement balance: £729

Default Charges: £12

 

A notice of Sums in arrears, Missed payments jan and feb & a notice of default sums for feb £12 and a FCA debt advise letter.

 

I logged into my account to make a payment where it showed the same information, as my account was still live, I paid £450 via bank transfer on the 20th of Feb which cleared the same day.

 

Carefully budgeted as I had a lot of charges / debt that has built up over the last 3 months and emptied my bank paying those. That £150 would be lost to those charges, £100 I would leave on the card towards paying it off and that would leave me £200 to spend on this months bills.

 

Account said £300 odd available to spend online.

 

I tried to pay a bill the next day and my card was refused.

I rang them up they transferred me to collections who said they could see i was in credit and they'd lift the bar, card could be used next day (today)

 

Tried to pay the same bill again, card refused.

 

Called them and they said they had defaulted my account on the 1st of this month.

I asked why I had received no default notice (of account closure) and my account seemed to still be live and that I'd had a statement just a few days before (with default charges).

They said notice of account going into default was in with my statements.

 

Stupidly I binned all previous statements after reading them as I have such a huge pile of mail from last 3 months, felt it would be ok to work from latest statement. But there was absolutely no default notice in them.

 

From the conversation on the phone I gather that some kind of mistake was made and that I shouldn't have been receiving statements with new default sums in and they would knock that charge off, but that as far as they were concerned my account was closed and had been passed to Fredrickson international and was nothing to do with them anymore.

 

Despite that I can still log in, see an available to spend amount - get statements etc.

 

I'm not very hopeful of positive outcome, I'm not that upset at losing the card.

 

but do I have a leg to stand on in having the default removed?

 

Also where I've had no income for 3 months being self employed, what I paid them was very carefully budgeted and not having access to the extra amount I was expecting leaves me the creek this month.

 

I've already done enough work that I will be able to pay off the debt and forget about marbles / newday next month, but I don't receive payment for that in the interim and I paid that amount to marbles in the good faith that my credit limit was the same and my account still active as per the statement they sent me on the 14th of this month.

Is there any legal basis for access to those funds?

 

I'm assuming not on both, I'm guessing the fact i owe them money wipes it out even if there has been a mistake and it is there word against mine in the case of default letters having been sent.

 

But it cant hurt to ask neutral.gif

No they said they closed the account completely on 1st of feb / that they had defaulted me and passed onto debt collectors. I've had no default notices (other than default payment notices at £12) in the statements like they have said were supposedly there.

 

My account shows online as live, and the statement they sent me on the 14th of this month shows everything is running as normal with a default payment fee of £12 for missed payment on 14th Feb, when I called them yesterday as far as they were concerned my account was live and they said they would take the block off.

 

Today that changed to the account was closed on the 1st (with default placed) and is no longer anything to do with them. contact debt collectors.

well its everything to do with them

they've not sold the debt..yet.

 

but ofcourse the account wasn't in actual credit

it was the credit limit that was giving you the 'credit'

so by closing it theres no longer that credit there = no credit to use

sadly they are entitled to close your account at anytime a recall the debt.

 

all the fees [£12] you can get back by reclaiming

Thanks, is there any recourse to getting the default removed.

 

They say that there was notice in the statements, but there isn't.

Is it just a case of if they say it was in there, that's enough?

 

As I had actually defaulted on 3 payments they were in a position to do so.

 

Would paying off the remaining debt in full next month hold any sway for them removing the default?

but you binned the statements and what came with them, so there might have been one.?

but yes they are entitled to default you.

 

they might if you pay it off as a GOGW

Yeah I did read them before binning them definitely nothing but regular statements (sadly Thursday is bin day or i'd go digging), but figured there wasn't much hope, Thanks for your help.
