    • 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've been chased by CABOT FINANCIAL for several months now for an AQUA CARD debt.

After ignoring the mass of phone calls which they also harassed my mother on a phone I used to call AQUA.

They also sent a stack of letter with increasing plea's to contact and arrange some settlement.

The latest now gives 14 days and threatens getting a solicitor involved leading to a possible CCJ.

 

The original debt is around one year old and I have not paid anything back after the credit card company referred the debt to a collector.

 

My parents are worried about the bailiffs knocking on the door

I need to take some action against CABOT and really not sure where to start.

 

Can someone could point me in the right direction how to start fighting the collection agency?

 

Many Thanks! :smile:

yes I've removed it Filro.

 

...to the OP

 

bailiffs can never be involved until AFTER you lose in COURT

and the judge grants their user..months away if NEVER.

 

a dCA is NOT A BAILIFF

and has

ZERO

legal powers

so go put your parents minds at rest.

 

the best was you deal with this is to send cabot a CCA request.

 

this kills 2 birds

 

1. gives cabot your correct address

no more worry for your parents

 

2. puts them to strict proof they hold all the necessary legally enforceable paperwork to even pursue you.

----LATEST---

 

CABOT has replied with the attached letter. They claim not to have the documents but will respond with 12 days. They also mentioned there is a credit default on my account. I'm not sure what this means though I expect it will make it harder for me to acquire a loan, future contracts or a mortgage.

 

Please let me know what you all think. Is it worth settling with them and how bad is the credit notice for reduced settlements?

PS. Since I sent the CCA request they have stopped calling me. Though lets see if they get back on it once the xmas booze has worn off.
