    • 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.

Your first inclination is the correct one.

 

Don't talk to them on the telephone, ensure all communications are in writing. it is very easy to tell lies over the phone, much less so when your letters can be produced in court.

 

When and if they get in touch in writing, CCA them to establish who they are and what they want.

 

Until then, have a nice day!!

First off, you're correct ,DO NOT call these people, ever.

 

Personally, I would ignore this until you here from Viking.

 

I would then start by sending a CCA request to Viking(You can use template letter N from the library here)

Making sure that the line "I do not acknowledge any debt to your company or their representatives" is clear (Bold and Big). Send letter recorded delivery, and keep the slip that you get from the Post Office safe. You can track the delivery to them online these days.

 

Once the letter has been signed for, wait 12 days.

 

If , after that period (12 days from date of receipt by them) expires and Viking have not sent you a true copy of the original agreement (with the terms and conditions, and signed by you) , they cannot enforce the debt.

 

At that stage the debt is in dispute.

 

If you like, you can let them know that they cannot enforce the debt and should not legally attempt to collect any monies. If they continue, update this thread and you'll get help with the next stage.

 

They may fob you off with 'it takes time to process blah blah' - Ignore that. The law is the law and the time limits allowed are fixed.

If a further calender 30 days goes by without them sending the original agreement, they commit an offence under the Consumer Credit act.

 

Hope that helps.

These people wasted no time at all in getting a ccj against me, its satisfied now and comes off next year:D

First of all, Hi zarren.

 

The letter yesterday should be ignored completely.

 

You need to wait until you get a response to your CCA. Expect this 12 working days after they recevied it, or less.

 

They have a further 30(weekedays) to answer fully.

Expect that they will say 'we need to get that info from the original creditor .. .. .. .. blah blah'.

 

Nothing to do except photocopy it twice for 'your bundle'.

 

Easy Now.

second of all,

 

@C00kiemonster

 

Mate,

 

Always a pleasure, never a chore.

 

Eversheds are reputable. Not sure about Viking so much, though.

 

As an aside, just how much did you pay for 'Charges'.

A SAR(Subject Access Request) will tell you.

 

Each 'charge' should carry a cost no more than £12 per occurence nowadays -if it's more than that you can clam the balance back , +8% for the duration of the contract plus ...

I'm also sure Consumer Direct / OFT / would be interested to know that they are using a premium rate number too !!!

Section 2.2 on the OFT Debt Guidance...

 

h. asking or instructing debtors to make contact on premium rate

telephone numbers

 

Actually you are quite lucky that you get to deal with a mickey mouse DCA !!! ;)
