    • thought your story rang a bell. https://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/topic/416315-knightsbridgecreditfix-iva-treated-me-very-badly-thinking-of-bk-now-help/ you vanished and never cameback. dx  
    • and it legally informs them of your correct and current address as you must do with all old debts last paid/used in say 7 yrs you dont want backdoor CCJ's. what were the names of these IVA scammers, the one you took it out with, and the one that scammed you to let them take over please? your story is slightly worrying. dx  
    • Incidentally, congratulations on not buying the warranty. That is another Big Motoring World rip-off. See what we have to say about extended warranties and the Big Motoring World attitude to them is particularly unhelpful
    • well that google is from 2019, but the photos are certainly of someone driving on the public highway in/out by an ANP system, though the site of where the camera actually is, is not showing there are anpr cameras up by the low yellow barriers but they wont get from facing shots from there. interesting, needs to be checked if the road IS a public highway but on private land, cause as you say, if the whole area is max 4hrs , how does the hotel work< ?? must have a reg entry system.  now as for taking pictures of cars on a public highway then guessing the are parking ...erm.... i dont thnk thats right nor allowed under GDPR. dx  
    • Under the consumer rights act 2015, if a defect manifests itself within 30 days and you have a right to return the vehicle for a full refund. If any defect manifests itself within the first six months of ownership then you have a right to return the vehicle for a full refund subject to the retailers right to carry out a repair. If the retailer declines to repair or if the repair fails then you have the right to return. The problem here is that you have to assert their right. It's a bit ridiculous – but you have to do let them know preferably in writing that you are asserting your rights under the consumer rights act either the 30 day right or the six month right. I suppose that you haven't done this – which would be quite understandable because most people don't know that these rights exist and that they are subject to these conditions – the condition that the right must be inserted. It is frankly ridiculous. The dealers know it and we have lots of instances of this company delaying appointments et cetera and our strong suspicion is that they are simply trying to run their customers out of time. On the basis that you haven't asserted your rights, we now have to look to ordinary contract law. You are entitled to purchase a vehicle which is of satisfactory condition and which remains that way for a reasonable period of time. Clearly it is in satisfactory. They are blaming you. Has your independent inspection identified the reason for the defect? This will be important because as you have seen BMW are already saying it is down to your driving and you are going to have to produce evidence that it wasn't down to your driving and the you drove it absolutely reasonably and it was simply the condition of the car. Have you been without the car for any period of time. Is it driveable now? If the car was off the road for a substantial amount of time and was still off the road then you would be able to argue that this is a fundamental breach of contract and that you have been deprived of substantially the whole benefit of the contract and therefore you will be entitled to treat the contract as breached by Big Motoring World and insist on cancelling the contract. It may be that you will eventually be obliged to keep the car but have the repairs paid for. Have you had any quotations for the work that needs doing? I asked you questions about the MOT – but you haven't responded.

    • 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, I am a newbie to the site & am seeking some advice.

 

Firstly, a quick summary;

 

My son received a SD from Connaught Collections(on behalf of 1st Credit) by second class mail and no prior efforts to contact him and no details.

 

He has sent the CCA letter to CC who have responded to the effect that the file is closed & future correspondence should be with 1st Credit.

 

He will be sending the CCA letter to 1st Credit next.

 

Mean time he will be preparing a SD set aside application; this is really where the questions come in re the correct completion of Form 6.4:

 

Is item a) the name of the alleged creditor?

Who completes the date, time, place section?

Is item d) the name of the alleged creditor?

Is item e) the address of the alleged debtor?

 

Does the form have to be signed by a solicitor?

 

If there is no County Court listed in the SD, does the set aside application just go in to the local one?

 

Form 6.5; does the affadavit have to be signed/sworn/witnessed at the County Court?

 

Is there a fee for an SD set aside application?

 

Thanks

separator.gifHi,

 

Welcome to CAG... you're in the right place for support and great advice!

 

Item a)=alleged creditor

Item d)=alleged creditor

Item e)=Your address

 

No...no need for a solicitor

 

Local County Court is where you go to swear an affidavit... a Court Clerk will help you and you swear the affidavit in front of them, not a judge.

 

There is no fee to apply for the SD set aside.

 

It is NOT a scary thing to do...the court clerk was really helpful and reassuring.

 

The Date and Time section is filled in by the County Court... they will keep the form 6.4, fill in the date and then post it back out to you.

 

Hope this helps... keep us posted.

 

:)

Thank you for your helpful response. It is very heartening to see the amazing support the members of this forum provide to people who are feeling very vulnerable in a somewhat alien "world".

 

Thanks for confirming those items, however I would like to clarify one or two of them:

 

When filling items a) & d) I presume that it would be 1st Credit that would be named & not Connaught Collections.

 

Are there any grounds for set aside - with Connaught having "closed" their file & returned it to 1st?

 

Is it a good idea or a necessity to send the CCA letter to 1st in the meantime?

 

Thank you again for the advice & will keep the forum posted on progress.

Hello again,

 

You should fill in a) & d) with the name of the company who have issued the SD, so IMO that would be Connaught Collections.

 

Grounds for the set aside would be that:

1) The SD was not served correctly... i.e. by 2nd class post not requiring a signature... they should at least attempt to serve it in person.

2) Your son does not acknowledge the debt or is unclear as to how the figure claimed has been calculated.

3) That he has requested a CCA from CC but been told the file is closed (which does not clarify the situation)

4) He has now requested further information from 1st Credit in the form of a CCA in order to establish the debt is enforcable

 

All advice given here is from my own, very recent, experience. My set aside hearing is next week.

 

My thread is here:

http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/debt-collection-industry/134225-advice-please-sd-received.html

 

Hope this helps but obviously others may be along to offer other opinions.

I think it's seen as an abuse of process if they go straight to issuing an SD? also seen as vexatious?

  • 4 weeks later...

Hi Folks

 

Firtsly thanks you to the members for your advice and the wisdom gained from your experiences.

 

Here is an update on what has transpired over the past few weeks & a request for a bit more advice.

 

Firstly what has happened:

 

CCA letter sent to 1st C - no response!

Set Aside application made to County Court - hearing set for later this week

Con Coll replied to say that they were willing to have the SD set aside & would not be attending the court.

 

Now for the advice needed:

 

I assume that the set aside hearing will go ahead - is it advisable/necessary for us to attend the hearing?

 

Is there any more that needs to be done in order to put this matter to bed?

 

Thanks again

Leatherman,

 

It is YOU that are applying for the set aside so it really is in your best interests to turn up on the day. Otherwise the judge might think that you're not so serious about wanting it set aside.

 

Take along all the documents including the letter from them saying that they won't be opposing the set aside.

 

It might also be worth claiming for your costs as well (day off from work etc), time to go down to the court to swear the affadavit etc

Thank you for your advice.

 

We attended court and the formalities were over in minutes. Con Coll did not attend or oppose the set aside - "they hadn't realised that it was contested"! Judge was very kind - one kind of thinks that they must be seeing a lot of this sort thing!

 

Thus, SD has now been set aside.

 

The questions now

 

Is there anything more that should be done to put this to bed?

 

Is it likely to resurface in another form from some other source?

 

Do we need to take further steps on the 1st Cred side of things, we have had no response to the CCA letter to date?

 

Is it worth making a complaint to the OFT or financial ombudsman?
