    • Hi Baldilocks. Welcome to CAG. I've done some minor formatting edits to your post to make it easier to read for people on mobile. Try to keep to 1 or 2 sentences max before creating a line break in your post. It's the Consumer Rights Act 2015, not the Sale of Goods Act 2015. The Consumer Rights Act 2015 superseded The Sale Of Goods Act 1979 and the latter does not apply as I imagine this purchase was made after 1st October 2015. Can you confirm the make, model and age of of vehicle? Some vehicles have their service history stored within the on board computers now or have it available to view online at any point. How did you pay for the vehicle? Finance (what type), Debit/Credit Card etc? I would argue, that should the above points not be correct, you would be right to claim that the goods are not as described under the Consumer Rights Act 2015.  
    • Thanks everyone for all your help, but unfortunately my case was dismissed. This is the 2nd time I've had this happen now so I doubt ill be taking on any parking firms in future sadly. The judge said I lost it on the grounds that the sign said I had 28 days to declare who the owner of the vehicle was, and said I should have complied with this.  My costs are Judgment for the claimant £133.33 Issue fee Hearing fee Solicitors costs - total £265 grand total £398.33 Do those costs look about right?
    • In that case I don't think you'd have any grounds for a claim against the receiver, short of anything actually criminal. The receiver was appointed by the lender so any claim you make should be aginst them. How much equity do you reckon there was when they took possession? Realistic value less outstanding balance (including arrears).  This messing around makes me wonder even more if the property was wildly over valued. Normally a lender would sell and not really care if they got the best price so long as they covered the balance plus their costs. 
    • Hey @lookinforinfo I'm not sure, I don't believe he told them he's the driver. He must have selected an option saying that he's appealing on behalf of the driver or something of the sort. In more news, however, these wannabe thugs are back at it again. Honestly, what a joke. In the letter they sent before this it said they had made "2 attempts" and in this letter they said "4 attempts", I wonder what happened to the "3rd attempt" lol.  WhatsApp Image 2024-04-18 at 14.06.07_44abc9c8.pdf
    • Hi all, I purchased a car in January from Big Motoring World Leeds. At the time of sale I was shown a tab on the salespersons computer marked 'service history' and I was able to take comfort knowing that the car had been serviced on 3 occasions as the date, mileage and company was there on screen. Being a 3 and a bit year old car that, in my mind, constituted full service history 🤷‍♂️ Anyway, collected the car a week later. Once home I settled down to through the book pack etc. Opened the service history booklet and it was completely blank. In addition there were no invoices detailing that any services had been done. I duly contacted BMW and asked them to supply me with proof of service history. They responded saying that on their 'vehicle documentation checklist' I had ticked and then signed to the fact that I had seen the service history and that I was happy with it. I dug out this checklist and what it actually states is 'seen service history online' which I had in the showroom. BMW seem to think that this satisfies their responsibility in providing service history. The reality is that I don't have any proof that the vehicle has ever been serviced! For my own peace of mind I ended up paying for a service that satisfied the manufacturers maintenance schedule to the tune of £330. I even complained to the finance company that the vehicle contravenes the Sale of Goods act 2015 as l, in effect, ot is not as described. Amazingly they weren't interested and instead I just got an email stating that it's not illegal to sell a vehicle without service history and that servicing costs were part and parcel of vehicle ownership. I've since complained to the ombudsman and am awaiting to see if they can help. I have no issue with the car but the treatment and customer service has been the worst I've ever experienced. I don't really know what to do next as I really do feel aggrieved that I've had to pay to service a car that should have already been serviced. Can anyone point me in the right direction please? 🙏

    • 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 All

 

I have been in an ongoing tennis game with letters going back and fourth with regards to an old debt i had with the bank of scotland (Credit Card)

 

I have sent the usual CCA request to the PRA Group and have received the following

 

A signed credit agreement

A notification of assignment - (showing PRA Group as holders of the debt from July 2014)

A statement of account up to March 2011

 

However the statement of account is where I have the issue, they only provided me with a credit card statement up to March 2011, the total they are chasing is lower than the one issued on the statement.

 

I know this should the case as I was using a debt management company (Compass) to handle the account, and they issued payment of £6.49 a month, Compass ironically went under in April 2014, taking my debt savings and no more payments were made to PRA Group.

 

My point is PRA group have only produced a official statement up to 2011, and only provided a spreadsheet on business paper showing payment of £6.49 made a month. There is no official statement showing these payments were made by Compass and especially nothing to indicate compass was acting on my behalf.

 

I am assuming that if PRA group cannot prove the £6.49 payments are made on my behalf, the debt can be classed as Statute Barred as officially my last payment to Bank of scotland would of been in 2011

 

I have attached the last letter from PRA which includes a sample of the statement they provided (which anyone could knock up on excel). Am I ok to challenge this statement and ask for proof of who paid the £6.49 and confirm documents stating on who's behalf the payments were made?

 

Any help on this is appreciated

 

Thanks

Never enter into letter tennis with a DCA.

 

Also in response to your CCA request, is that PDF all that you recieved from them? If so, then its not compliant.

 

When was your card taken out?

Any advice i give is my own and is based solely on personal experience. If in any doubt about a situation , please contact a certified legal representative or debt counsellor..

Hi

 

thanks for replying

 

No this wasnt the only response, I received a reply to the CCA which included the signed agreement, notice of assignment and the account statement (but only up to 2011)

 

the credit card was taken out in 2004

 

this reply was received after i denied any liability and request a full statement to include transactions from 2011 to 2014, which is where they have only provided this excel spreadsheet showing a payment of £6.49 a month up to 2014

Hi thanks for moving to the correct forum

 

No i was never a resident in Scotland

 

I have attached the 1st reply to my CCA where i received, notice of assignment and statement, the signed agreement i received a week before (i originally asked for that over a year previous)

 

page 1 = 1st response letter i received

 

page 2 = 2nd letter i received after I queried the lack of information on the original statement.

 

I had already received a copy of the original signed agreement about a week before the 1st response letter

 

hope this makes sense

merged 1st and 2nd CCA letters.pdf

 

sorry - getting tired LOL

 

I have left out the copy of the statement as it is basically a excel spreadsheet saying a payment of 6.49, nothing official, my kids could make it up

 

the CCA request i sent is the standard template used (sorry dont have a copy available at the moment"on my work laptop", but it is the same as the form on this site)

 

1st and 2nd response letter from PRA attached

Hi

 

my original CCA request was to the PRA group back in 2017, they returned a letter to this request which only included the correct signed CCA with Terms and conditions just 3weeks ago.

 

As i have managed to squash a few agreements in the past I unnderstand they have provided me with the right CCA document however did not provide the correct documents for notice of assignment and statement.

 

unfortunately this original letter is at my work place and I cannot retreive it for a week as i am off with the kids for half term.

 

From what i can see they have provided the right documents and a statement, but only up to 2011, but nothing that points to me making payments since 2011.

 

The angle i wanted to follow was the fact they need to prove i have made payments after to 2011 to 2014, if they cant then i can go for statute barred??

 

hopefully this makes sense

 

thansk again for your support

Dagbloyblue. WHat he means is can you post that response you got, so we can check to see if it is fully compliant. Many DCA's comply 90% but omitting that final 10% is a fatal mistake for them. It's what trips many people up, as they see the vast majority is compliant and think the entire response is.

 

it's better to be 100% sure right?

Any advice i give is my own and is based solely on personal experience. If in any doubt about a situation , please contact a certified legal representative or debt counsellor..

yes sure 100%, I have noticed a few of the Dca' s my original debt management company "compass" had deals set up with did not require any payments legally.

 

I appreciate the help in reviewing this mine field

 

I will post the letter up as I get back to work possibly Thursday

 

thanks

Hi

 

I have managed to load up the earlier letters from PRA

 

Letter 1 dated 10/09/2018 - was when i received the signed agreement , which i responded to using the CCA format requesting Notice of assignment and full statement

 

Letter 2 dated 12/09/2018 - was a letter before claimicon, received a day after letter 1 - I never responded to this as i had already responded to letter 1

 

Letter 3 dated 10/10/2018 - was a response to my CCA template letter and provided the notice of assignment and statement up to 2011

 

Letter 4 dated 16/10/2018 - was a response to a request on further statement information from 2011 to 2014 where they just provided an excel spreadsheet, stating monthly payments of £6.49 "nothing indicating where payment was from"

 

Hope this is making sense

 

thanks

compass were obv paying HBOS not PRA as it wasn't sold till 2014.

IMHO I agree with you, they if they were paying the OC then the statement should come from HBOS or atleast be on HBOS letterhead

a statement produced by the fleecers for payments not directly made to them, when they didn't own it at that time is certainly questionable

 

as for the CCA return, IMHO that is enforceable.

I certainly wouldn't believe anything a DCA sends you when at the time of those payments, they did not OWN the debt.

as for if those payments were authorised, well obv they were as compass were paying upon your written instructions..cant get out of that

 

why not SAR HBOS? its free!!

They still have a fair bit of time to comply with the SAR request. Theyll likely leave it until the last minute.
