    • 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.

You don't need to use a solicitor - in fact many solicitors are not overly familiar with the Consumer Credit Act. It would be Lloyds that you would push as 1st Credit are no longer dealing with the account.

Hi,

 

I am new here and as I have a similar situation with 1st Credit I thought you might be able to solve a small problem of interpretation for me.

 

When the 12 + a further 32 days have passed what is the exact legal situation and my position as a debtor? 1st Credit were requested 01 December 2008 to produce the original signed credit agreement which they ofcourse have not done, nor have they returned the alledged debt to the original creditor (a high street bank). Now, after the 42 or 44 days without any credit agreement is the DCA in breach of the law? and what about the original debt?

Thanks again for the help and advice.

 

I am just finishing of the letter to send the new DCA and will be posting it tomorrow (recorded delivery) but i was wondering if i should be taking out the line below or do i leave it in?

 

I/we would point out that I/we have no knowledge of any such debt being owed to (insert company name).

 

 

Thanks again

Scorpion you can leave that in because you don't have any knowledge of this debt.

 

Gustavious rex there is now no summary criminal offence committed once the calendar month is up. The offence was never enforced anyway. If the original creditor or another DCA now request payment towards the account while in default of your request then they are committing an offence under the Consumer Protection from Unfair Trading Regulations 2008.

Great,

 

So what is the situation a year down the line? This is not my first ''dingaling'' with so called DCA's and Ive got out of some £40,000.00 wth one, however, the problem is the time. What if they will ''find'' the agreement some day in the future. Is it still enforceable?

Got to apologize here,

I do not mean to recommend anyone to not pay their dues. The problem is that we have to many blood sucking creatures that will front load your account with interests to be added and then default you in order to virtually double the amount you owe. I do not feel sorry for these outfits and considering what the banking industry in general has caused lately I say screw them all.

Yes, if it contains all the necessary prescribed terms (many don't). Having said that usually they find these things fairly quickly or not at all.

 

If you want help on your specific information on your situation then it is best to start your own thread. If you don't know how to start a thread have a read here http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/welcome-consumer-forums/107001-how-do-i-dummies.html

Advice i have been given, is that if the original lender has a customer credit agreement with the debtor, and were to pass it on to a DCA such as 1st credit or anyone else then they would be in breach of the data protection act, i agree with Rory that it would be best for you to start a new thread on your dealings with the creditors, i feel you have a lot which could be of help to you and others on this forum.

It's been quiet for a couple of months but Lloyds are back and make no mention of my account being in dispute or the fact that I have made a CCA request.

 

The name is correct on this letter this time and the account number I do recognise.

 

 

It also make reference to the account number i didnt know that Apex had used and were demanding payment for.

 

Do i contact Lloyds direct now or just sit and wait since the account is in dispute?

Sorry for the delay in answering but I have been unwell.

 

I don't know if i did the right thing or not considering the account is in dispute but I made payment plan arragements with Lloyd's. I had originally been on a plan but they removed me as the time I could stay on it had expired and thats when I hit problems with First cretins and the Apex.

 

I also had a look at my credit file and this account shows as default. should it show as that as the account is/was in dispute. Can that be removed?

 

Does the account still stay in dispute even if i am back on their payment plan as long as they don't come up with my CCA?

 

Thanks all.

yes it can still be in dispute. they should not apply defaults during this time but most of them do.

 

what is it you actually want to acheive on this account?

I think I have achieved what I wanted to be honest.

 

I was quite happy paying my reduced payment until the short term agreement ended and Lloyd's passed it to a DCA.

 

Now that it is back on a payment plan for an amount I can afford I am quite happy to pay it but I just wondered if it was still in dispute so if the payment plan ends again then I know it shouldn't be passed to a DCA due to it still being in dispute.

They can still send it to a DCA, the option you have is that while no CCA has been provided, then you can withhold payment if you wanted, so if you are happy being back on the payment plan that is fine, if at a later date they were to pass it on to a DCA, then you could again point out that the account is in dispute, so you have options open to you.

Thanks for that.

 

I think Lloyds only put you on their internal payment plan so to speak for about a year so when the years up I just assumed they wouldn't be able to send it to a DCA this time as the account is still in dispute.

I will just need to cross that bridge when and if it happens.

 

Thanks again

Is this ALL they have sent you ?, there should be terms and conditions as well.

 

This looks like a personal loan agreement, yes?. You might want to have somone check the figures (APR) to see if they are correct.

 

I see the optional Payment protection has been marked did you agree to this cover, and is it still included in the repayment plan?

although they should have sent the t and c's with it ,the loan itself looks ok and enforceable. (if figures are ok)

Out of the blue Lloyds have sent me this. Would I be right in guessing that this is my CCA and therefore my account is no longer in dispute?

It did have my signature on it at the bottom.

 

Thanks all.

 

I see the "optional loan protection) was pre ticked.. you might want to have a look at the posts in the following thread on reclaiming the PPI if it is considered mis sold. From post 137 onwards.

I will try and find someone to look at the figures on your loan agreement for you.
