    • 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 everyone

 

I would like some advice on what to do next if anyone has time please.

 

This is a very old debt. even I'm not sure who it was originally with, what it was for & how old it is. I think it's about 1996 or even earlier.

 

I know I transferred it to a debt agency (I paid them & they paid my debts after taking out a fee) around 1998 ish.

I then paid it direct some time after, once I realised that paying that agency £30 a month of my money was not a good idea.

I think the debt has been sold on 3 times since then.

I have paid them (whoever was asking for it) a regular £10 @ month since.

The debt stands at over £2000 according to Cabot.

But as I say I have no idea how much of this money I do indeed still owe.

 

I discovered this site a while ago & decided maybe it was time to do some financial spring cleaning.

 

I've just received the response to my CCA request from Cabot Financial. They've returned my £1 postal order and stated that ..

 

 

..They are not obliged to provide such info

 

..They have returned my £1 fee (what do I do with it? It's crossed payable to them)

 

.. They anticipate being able to provide this info in 12 days

 

If any one has any knowledge of where I go next with it I would be very grateful.

 

Below is the letter recieved today. They were very fast in dealing with it. I only posted the request last Friday.

 

Thank you

ITO

As spamheed says, this is the exact same templated response that Crapbot give to the vast majority of CCA requests. At least this letter is proof that they received your request and signed for it, which is more than a lot of people get.

 

All you can do now is wait to see what comes back. If noting happens for 12+2 working days after you sent the request, you can send the Account in Dispute letter, or you can wait until Crapbot come back again before you send it. After the 12+2 days, if nothing has come back, you are within your rights to stop paying them until they do produce an enforceable agreement.

 

I really don't know what they think they gain by pretending not to be obliged to provide the information, as they put it. Everybody who receives this drivel will already know that they are obliged to provide it, otherwise they wouldn't have requested it in the first place.

Thanks to you both.

 

I think they acknowledged my request because I put my monthly cheque in the same envelope. They could hardly say they have not received the CCA when they have already cashed the cheque. But having read some of these threads I guess any thing is possible. I've never known them cash a cheque so fast!

 

I sent a CCA to Robinson Way for a debt just as old on the same day so I am waiting for their response. I'll start a new thread on that when I hear from them.

 

Does everyone have the £1 fee returned?

Had I known I would not have had it payable to them.

Cabot return the £1 but you have to send it as part of the legal requirements for requesting a copy of the agreement. What they do with it then is up to them. You have proof you sent it and that is all that matters.

Just been having another look at the response to my cca request letter.

It states my original lender as citifinancail & that it was a loan.

I have never had a loan from citifiancail. I believe them to be one of the previous owners of this debt, not the original lender. Prior to them it was someone else.

 

I have also been reading a correspondence from Cabot dated November 2006. It's a shame I did not know about the CCA back then.

One of the paragraphs state;

'If for any reason, payments are not received by the agreed dates, the arrangement will be cancelled & we will enforce our right to payment under the original terms & conditions.'

It states T & C's not contract. So is that in itself evidence that they do not have the original contract?

I get letters from them every few weeks but none of them are my CCA. They all state similar things. The last one said that I could apply to the Original creditor for the CCA if I liked. Don't think so! It's more than obvious that there is no CCA.

What rubish from them, they are legally obliged to supply the CCA. not you. Have you sent them the follow up letter giving them 30 days,? during which time you can withhold payment as the account is in dispute, if you cant find the letter template, i can give you a link to it.

I have not sent them the follow up letter but they have sent a response to what would have been it. They love sending them so much they are ahead of me.

It's just filed away with the other letters from them. They have put a hold on the account due to not having the cca so I'm not overly bothered about it now.

I find it amusing to see how many different ways they inform me of the same thing.

They do not have the CCA. This acc is years old & has been passed from dca to dca a number of times.

I almost look forward to the next Cabot letter.:D

Didn't mean to sound glib - there's more I could say, but won't for now... except that I do wonder whether their long-term aim is to send people crazy. I hope to say more fairly soon.

Just don't let them send you crazy. They're not worth it.

Probably better to send them the follow up letter, the one that tells them that the account is in dispute, and tells them

YOU MAY NOT DEMAND ANY PAYMENT ON THIS ACCOUNT, NOR AM I OBLIGED TO OFFER ANY PAYMENT TO YOU.

YOU MAY NOT ADD ANY FURTHER INTEREST OR CHARGES TO THIS ACCOUNT.

YOU MAY NOT PASS THIS ACCOUNT TO ANY THIRD PARTY.

Hi again is this ok. If you go on to the section Dealing with debt in Scotland, and click on the thread, help with 1st credit, you will find the letter pasted on by the scorpion, keep in touch and let me know what Cabot also known as crapbot get up to. In response to 3 CCA requests i sent them, the amount claimed that i owe has gone up, the RBS one is more than double, this makes me all the more determined to take them on.

Cabot are trying to get people to pay statute barred debts. I hope you haven't paid anything to them apart from the £1 as in oder to be SB you must not have paid anything towards the debt nor admitted it in six years. Make sure you state clearly on each letter that you do not acknowledge any debt.

I have just had another look through my Cabot letters. I did send them a account in dispute letter. I now remember thinking I had not needed to have bothered because the day after I posted it I had the reply to it. Yes they were ahead of me with it but I did actually send them one & have proof it was delivered.

Have had the usual bumph from them since saying they are still awaiting a response from the OC.

I meant that if I receive as many letters for the next 6 years until it becomes SB then I'll have enough to paper the shed with.:rolleyes:

My last & final payment to them was last Nov sent alongside the CCA request.

Have they actually said your account is on permanent hold?

The one but last letter of mine says that as a gesture of goodwill they will put the acc on hold until they receive further commincation from the OC.

The last one says that they still cannot provide me with my requested info.It does say that they are working hard to obtain it.

In 2 letters they say that the OC have not been able to locate it from their archives. Cabot state that they will continue to ask the OC for the info & that they hope to receive it shortly.
