    • I spoke to a pro-bono entity this afternoon.  They advise I must initiate a claim in the court v the receiver if I want to then file an application for an order for sale.  I must have a claim/ proceedings to be able to force a sale. The judge in the current proceedings  has told me that I cannot force the lender to sell and the lender cannot interfere either.   If the receiver isn't acting correctly and isn't selling - this means I must make a claim against the receiver
    • Thanks Dave It's not too far away, about 8 or 9 miles, so I will probably venture over on my bike if I can't think of a good reason to drive there again! I'll have a chat with Mrs GB_Joe tomorrow and see which shops they visited, I know M&S was on the list (had to try on multiple sets of trousers!) and they are actually in that bit of retail park. The uniform shop is across the way in the Meridian Centre, so probably not helpful to get them involved.
    • As they have failed to deliver their original PCN you will need to send them an SAR where they should provide that PCN. It should show the address they used . If it is not your current one that would explain the non delivery. If it was correct then perhaps the Post office messed up. A more cynical view would be that UKPC didn't send it so that you couldn't claim the reduction. It appears that UKPC have been there for some time  but I have been unable to find any pictures of their Notices.The leisure park itself is pretty big so while some parts maybe give 5 hours free parking other parts may have restrictions like permits. I haven't been there for years -I went  to Nandos and the bowling centre . I am surprised that they are now infested with UKPC as the place is plenty big enough not to require their dubious services. If you live not to far away it would help if you could get some legible pictures of their signs. Be carful to park in an area that doesn't require a permit and take photos of the entrance signs, the five hour sign and the permit only sign as well as any other signs that are different from the previous signs. Also if their is a payment machine could you please photograph that.
    • This other entity doesn't know what's going on.  To be clear I had huge equity.  No-one would ever expect a lender to erode all my equity.  The question is - if anyone knows the legal answer - on the basis they have a charging order - could they make an application for an order for sale?  
    • Is this place near to you? I ask for two reasons. If you can easily go back, then get photos of the signs.  On GM and Parkopedia there are various comments about the signs being pants. Also go back to the school uniform shop and ask the manager there for contact details for the retail park (which I've Googled & Googled and got nowhere).  The school uniform shop will just be tenants of the retail park, they won't be able to do anything.  It will be the retail park that called EPC in, and we've seen loads of cases where the organ grinder has intervened and called off the monkey.  As for EPC, aye, ignore them until LoC stage.

    • 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 guys,

i read a few threads and i feel you people can help me out. i bought a renault clio for £1295- 1999make and 98,665miles clocked on 10th september,2008 from hillington trade centre, west paisley road, glasgow. from the last few days , i could hear some noise from the engine so, i decided to take my car for servicing. today ,

when i went to collect my car from the nationwide centre....

 

they told that they didnt service the car, as the car is beyond repair, economically...had atleast 9 points which would fail the MOT due next feb, 2009. and he said he wouldn't trust the brakes.

 

the head gasket, is broken and the engine oil is leaking ...the front disc pads and disc to be replaced...exhast fail, coil spring fail.....engine mount......all sorts of problem ..

 

 

i feel like i have been cheated...as the dealer told me the car has been checked out by their mechanic and it is in good condition.....

 

what do i do...i feel helpless.....

Agreed. You need to formally reject the car under the SOGA, and advise them that you require a full refund immediately.

 

Moreover, tell them that they need to collect the car from its current location, as you believe the car is unroadworthy and therefore would be illegal for you to drive to them.

well, he said this car is a trade-in ...so he was reluctant to give any warranty or guaranty...although he offered me a waranty from a compny for £295/year but i declined...and after insisting a lot he agreed to give a waranty for one month 50-50 for parts and labour caping at £300...it is worthless...and soon after i bought the car i took warranty from warranty direct....but they will help me as these problems were there when i bought the car......should i email them or post them abt the issue...

Not them - the dealer cannot legally supply goods that are not "fit for purpose". This is your STATUTORY right, and totally overrides anything he talks about warranty or guarantee. This is also the reason the term "sold as seen" is irrelevant in law.

Call him first anyway to let him refuse over the phone.

 

100 miles is nothing really.

The dealer broke the golden rule....He wanted to be greedy and instead of unloading the car at auction with zero risk to himself he sold it to you!

 

Hopefully you will be offered a refund.

Why the long face Horsey?

well guys, i called him today....what he said is.....i told you the car is a trade in.....and head gasket can break any time...even with the new car...and about the brakes he said the car was checked and was roadworthy when he sold him to me and he is liable for nothing......he kept on repeating that it is a used car and a trade in....

i told him that i reject the agreement and i want a full refund and also that he need to collect the car....alll he said is 'i dont'...even when i told him i will be approaching trading standards and consumer direct for help...

 

guys i checked the miles today and i have acyually clocked more than 500 miles in less than a month...will that be a problem...he even said that the car has a mot so it is very well roadworthy....i told him the mot was done in feb this year and i bought the car in september.....but that went unheard...

 

please help .....

An MOT shows a vehicle is road legal at one snapshot in time - not for the course of the year.

 

Write him a letter before action, then sue.

Please do everything in writing, rejecting car and why ( not fit for purpse; unroadworthy, dagerous; list faults ) and ask for full refund under SOGA and give 7 days to respond or take them to court.; they are responsible.

And dont use the car once you have rejected it.

  • 3 weeks later...

Hillington Trade Centre- what a bunch of chancers.

 

I went for a test drive in a white golf at the beginning of september- saw the car on ebay and there was not a chance the car was roadworthy.

 

Suspect I may have looked at your Clio, as it was around that time, but in the end i got a much nicer, roadworthy car than anything avaiable at this dump- a disgrace to Glasgow.

 

Never buy from there!!!
