    • if the agreement was taken out jan 23, then she has not reached the 1/3rd mark so the car has not become protected goods under the consumer credit act.  this puts her in a very very vulnerable position regarding ever keeping the car....whereby once they have issued a default notice they can legally send a guy with a flatbed (though they are NOT BAILIFFS and have ZERO legal powers) to collect the car.  if the car is kept on the public highway then they can simply take it away and she will legally owe the whole stated amount on the agreement AND lose the car. if it's on private property i'e like a driveway, ok they shouldn't take it without her agreeing, but if they do, it's not really on but its better than a court case and an inevitable loss with the granting a return of goods order. are these 'health reasons' likely to resolve themselves in the very short term (like a couple of months?) and can she immediately begin working again ? i'e has she got a job or would have to find one?  answer the above and we'll try and help. but she looks to be between rock and a hard place . whatever happens she will still have to pay the loan off...car or no car....unless you can appeal to the finance company's better nature using health reasons to back off for xxx months.
    • no need to use it. it doubles the size of the thread and makes it very diff to find replies on small screens too. just like @username it - sends unnecessary alerts to people. everyone that's posted on your thread already inc you ...gets an automatic email alert when someone else posts.
    • Hello all,   I ordered a laptop online about 16 months ago. The laptop was faulty and I was supposed to send it back within guarantee but didn't for various reasons. I contacted the company a few months later and they said they will still fix it for me free of charge but I'd have to pay to send it to them and they will pay to send it back to me. The parcel arrived there fine. Company had fixed it and they sent it via dpd. I was working in the office so I asked my neighbours who would be in, as there's been a history of parcel thefts on our street. I had 2 neighbours who offered but when I went to update delivery instructions, their door number wasn't on the drop down despite sharing the same post code.  I then selected a neighbour who I thought would likely be in and also selected other in the safe place selection and put the number of the neighbour who I knew would definitely be in and they left my parcel outside and the parcel was stolen. DPD didn't want to deal with me and said I need to speak to the retailer. The retailer said DPD have special instructions from them not to leave a parcel outside unless specified by a customer. The retailer then said they could see my instructions said leave in a safe space but I have no porch. My front door just opens onto the road and the driver made no attempt to conceal it.  Anyway, I would like to know if I have rights here because the delivery wasn't for an item that I just bought. It was initially delivered but stopped working within the warranty period and they agreed to fix it for free.  Appreciate your help 🙏🏼   Thanks!

    • 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 Michelle,

Here is the link http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/bank-templates-library/

 

Don't listen to them, they have no authority in securing anything against your property. The only people in the country with that power is a judge.

 

Link Finance will do ANYTHING to try and secure payment from you, and i mean anything. They will tell you anything that gets money from you.

 

Like previous posters have said, CCA them and they will back down. I had a problem with LINK and i CCA them in november and have heard nothing. They havbe breached the time allowed by law and still i have heard nothing.

Me again, well they have replied, got this letter back yesterday:

 

I refer to your notice under the Data Protection Act 1998.

 

Your MBNA Europe Bank Ltd account was assigned to Link Financial in January 2001. The responsibility to manage the information placed with the Credit Reference Agencies by MBNA was also passed at the time of purchase and the decision to process your information to the credit reference agencies is not based on automatic means. Therefore we no not believe we are in breach of our responsibilities under the Act with regards to your details.

 

Yours sincerely

 

Can you make head nor tail of what they are trying to say here? because I cant.

 

oh and the typing error "we NO not believe" is theirs not mine lol

Proof positive that anyone writing a letter should not partake of a spliff prior to composing one.

 

I think what they are trying to say is "MBNA started the Sh!t on your credit record and we are just doing what they did". Do you know what's on your record exactly?

Hi Michelle

 

The contents of that letter are strikingly similar to another which someone reported on here in the last week or so, right down to the typing error!

 

If I can remember where I saw it I'll post back here with a link (no pun intended!).

If there's nothing on your credit record about this then you don't need to bother about the credit reference aspect. They've sent you an unenforeceable agreement so wait until they take the next step if they do anyhthing at all.

 

You could take them to court and ask that the agreement be declared unenforceable under S142 of the CCA or you can wait until they start action against you and they will get it to court where you effectively make the same case.

Have to say that their 'no not etc' response reminds me of a reply I got from someone who had not complied with one of my many CCA requests - can't remember who it was now - but I had sent them a similar letter to the one Rob posted above. They sent me a two page letter with about 15 paragraphs and only the first paragraph referred to the CCA - the remainder of the entire letter waffled on about how they were justified in processing my data. My thought at the time was that they were more concerned with not being hauled up under data protection rather than trying to enforce the agreement.:p
