    • Welcome to the forum What makes you think that ?   Andy
    • We purchased our Mercedes in September 2023 from Doves in Horsham for £21000, paying half cash and half on finance. We also purchased warranty for life via Ramp as recommended by Doves. On 12th May 2024 the car failed to recognise the key and wouldn’t not open, the AA could not identify the problem so via our warranty the car was taken to Mercedes in Croydon. After 3 weeks the problem was finally identified as water ingress in the drivers side footwell which has corroded and blown various components. After further investigation it was discovered the windscreen was date stamped 2019 (all the windows are 2018 - therefore not the factory fitted windscreen) The leak has developed due to incorrect sealant being used assuming when this was replaced and also water leaking from the seam. The warranty company do not cover water ingress so we are now faced with a bill of £3635. As we are now at 8 months since purchase (problem started at just over 7 months) we are not covered by the consumer rights acts. Would we be covered Sale of Goods Act? We have all the reports for the works being completed but unsure if this should be taken to the finance company or Doves who we purchased the car from. Do we pay for the works and then try and claim it back or should they be paying? Any help would be much appreciated
    • im also wondering if back billing applies here too . from looking at like threads around this SSE to ovo compulsory switch, it must be evidenced by the claimant that bills were regularly issued for the period of the supply the debt they claim covers. there are no threads here that show they could ever produce them, so back billing rules (12mts) might also play a part.
    • Vodafone have reported that they are having issues with their Credit File APIs into the Credit Reference Agencies where aged accounts over 6 years are being readded to Credit Files. In some instances, people are having defaults rescinded and changed to late payment status making the account live again!    --- Have you been affected? Please keep an eye out on your credit file for any  new Vodafone Account appearing where there shouldnt be any reason. If you are a Vodafone Customer - Check that the information is correct. check for Late Payments and Defaults.    Don't forget to consider the financial impacts this could have on you.  ---   If you are struggling - Post below and we can guide you to get the result you need!    Its been reported that Experian and TransUnion seem to be where these appear.  They are able to remove the information relatively quickly and it will reflect on next Credit File Refresh.

    • 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.

well i got the letter now (post it tomorrow) load of bull. iyou know my original POC, i was ordered by court for full POC but this letter kept saying "revised" POC

 

if i was confident enough i would let them have their way and go to court, i get impression it not the CCJ they worried about, it the part in my POC where i put credit agreement.

 

i will sort letters out tomorrow one to barclays and an objection letter to the Courts. At end of day I have PROOF they received 3 letters (2 recorded and 1 special delivery) warning them of impending court action.

 

At end of day if old man don't get dosh then so be it BUT I honestly think this case will raise a MAJOR problem for barclays. it's a call my bluff game.

I'M BACK :D

 

Ok, barclay sent application to have judgemant sent aside a while ago, hearing for this is on monday, postman tried to deliver letter last week (special) but he comes between 11 and 4 so keep missing him, HOWEVER managed to get letter and I guessed right, it was from b-card inside was a cheque for £175 upfront with no terms and conditions :D

 

I rang court to see if b-card cancelled the hearing and they have. SOOO they caved in AND I made the CCJ stick :lol:

 

starting Round 2 now and it's about the so called credit agreement, i want them to remove all entries on CRA files, quoted then few things from the CCA and CC (regs) Act and DPA to name a few and told them that I will take them to court again if needbe.

 

Whilst it is good (might contact some media about this and it will hopefully help few others out about harassment) it not about the money i claimed off them it's all about the princeables.

 

Just gotta stick to your plans and push forward, I have been lucky in some areas I know but it aint over till the fat lady sings and the "Banks" comply with the law and realise we go to them for business and STOP letting them dictate what we can and cannot do. They aint above the law (but they seem to think they are)

So in a nutshell, you did'nt repay a debit, so they bugged the sh** out of you, so you took them to court for harrassment and won.?

 

Reason I ask is I lost a house in the early 90's to these barstewards and could'nt borrow a penny for years later, and guess what I now owe the bstds about 25k again!, because they have rammed it down my throat for the last 5 years, what an idiot i am, i'm so tempted to try to take them on.
