    • 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.

Hello guys. I need some help.

I received this email below from lantern.

I have received emails from them over the years about this same debt but I do not know which payday loan debt this is in relation to as it doesn't even say.

I'm thinking maybe pounds to pocket.

I'm pretty sure this is in relation to paydays loans I took out in 2012.

 

I need some advice because my credit rating is shot and I need to try and get it back into the green.

 

My question is;

 

1) Should I finally make contact with them and ask them what this debt is in relation to?

What should I say?

 

2) Would this debt be statute barred?

Is something statute barred from your last payment to the company or from when they put a default on your file + 6 years today date?

 

I've checked my credit report and there doesn't seem to be any defaults which match this sum.

 

I took out a few payday loans between march 2012 and july 2012.

 

There might be an odd one in 2013.

 

3) Are lantern serious about taking me to court?

My last known address was 10yrs ago and my current address isn't listed on my credit report so if they did take me to court the court papers would go to my old address and I would never get them.

 

Having a CCJ against me would cause me alot of problems in my career, so I really don't want that.

 

4) Should I just carry on ignoring them?

 

5) I probably shouldn't have gotten this payday loan and I know they can be written off with some companies.

 

I could probably make some monthly payment towards it every month if need be as I got myself into this mess but am looking at all my options.

 

Should I contact them about it being written off?

 

Any other advice on what action I should take?

 

Al help appreciated, thank you.

Hello guys. I need some help.

I received this email below from lantern. - you block and bounce unsolicited emails.

I have received emails from them over the years about this same debt but I do not know which payday loan debt this is in relation to as it doesn't even say.

I'm thinking maybe pounds to pocket.

I'm pretty sure this is in relation to paydays loans I took out in 2012.

My question is;

 

1) Should I finally make contact with them and ask them what this debt is in relation to? - no

What should I say?- nothing

 

2) Would this debt be statute barred?

Is something statute barred from your last payment to the company or from when they put a default on your file + 6 years today date? - 6yrs from last payment or signed letter to them.

I've checked my credit report and there doesn't seem to be any defaults which match this sum.

 

I took out a few payday loans between march 2012 and july 2012.

 

There might be an odd one in 2013.

 

3) Are lantern serious about taking me to court?

My last known address was 10yrs ago and my current address isn't listed on my credit report so if they did take me to court the court papers would go to my old address and I would never get them. - you should never hide from your creditors nor prevent your correct details being shown on your creditfile, sounds like you are not on voters, that will kill credit.

Having a CCJ against me would cause me alot of problems in my career, so I really don't want that.

 

4) Should I just carry on ignoring them? - no

 

5) I probably shouldn't have gotten this payday loan and I know they can be written off with some companies.

Nah, I must have had around 4-5 at the time though I it'll be difficult to find out the companies which I had it with.

 

So should I do a proveit letter first and then a IRL with lantern?
