    • 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, haven't been here for a while as I've been working away in France.

 

I've come back to re mortgage and had a nasty shock.

 

My account was closed in June 06 after I reclaimed charges. Six weeks after the account was closed a cheque was unexpectedly honoured and I contested this payment as I was unable to reclaim it from the payee for quite a while.

 

I couldn't sort this with A and L, it was passed to a DCA and a default was issued on my account. I've just found this out in the mortgage application.

 

I've written to the FOA - awaiting response. A and L have said no default notice was issued and the account is not covered by the Consumer credit act but by their terms and conditions!

 

I think they've behaved badly. I'm trying to get the default lifted urgently as it's effecting my mortgage application. I'd be grateful for any advice on this.

Hi benmills,

 

Have you sent off to the CRA's for a copy of your credit report(s) yet? Your credit report will clearly show who issued the default. You'll need this information urgently if you're going to attempt to have the default lifted.

 

Post back as soon as you have some further info, and best of luck :)

Thanks, thanks, yes I have a fantastic letter from the A and L saying they issued the default also saying the account was not covered by the CCA and no credit agreement was entered into and that there was no requirement to issue a default notice as there was no authorised overdraft facility in place. They just sent me back my t and c's.

 

You couldn't make it up. They defaulted me on an authorised overdraft after closing my account. How can I possibly have owed them money and default if there was no credit?

 

Trading standards and Financial ombudsman have acknowledged my complaint. I'd like to go straight for the jugular and issue a summons and let them explain it in front of a judge. but it's my hunch they would lift the default before a hearing as they know they can't or won't want to defend it.

 

Been looking at Chris' case with the RBS. I want to take the fight to them, what do you reckon?
