    • 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.

From this company saying Revenue Collection Services Debt Collectors in Sunbury on Thames, in lovely pink paper, the first letter states We have been appointed DCA on behalf of Southbank Capital Lttd reference an outstanding HBOS account and it then staates what is deffo a Credit Card Number that has still not been satisfied. blah blah blah about a Solicitor being involved etc This is a serious matter and dont ignore.

 

On the second page which is just white it says

 

PLEASE NOTE THIS IS NOT A PAYMENT DEMAND

 

On 13 November 2008 your credit loan account with London Scottish Finance Ltd was assigned to Southbank Capital Limited who are now the legal owners of the debt. This letter is to notify you that all future payments under your credit loan account are to be made to Revenue Collection Services and their contact details. What should i do? i have never heard from this company before. Do i ignore it? please help

Have you ever had a loan account with London Scottish Finance Ltd?

HAVE YOU BEEN TREATED UNFAIRLY BY CREDITORS OR DCA's?

The loan would then be very close to being statute barred. I would request a copy of the credit agreement (template N here ). Send it recorded delivery with a one pound postal order. Do not sign the letter.

 

Without a compliant copy of the agreement the debt is legally unenforceable. Even if they do have one it will probably take them a couple of months to provide it by which time the account should be statute barred.

Ignore my remark about it being statute barred (it would only be statute barred if you were in Scotland - in England it takes a year longer).

How long is it before it is statue barred? this will have been 5 years this march. I'm pretty sure it was 2004 but it could have been 2003. Got myself into a lot of debt then. I have received letters from capquest ages ago regarding other debts then they sent me a statuary demand letter back in october but have never heard anything from them since

In England it's 6 years from the cause of action (when you stopped paying) for the debt to become statute barred. The burden of proof always lies with the creditor to prove that a debt is not statute barred.

when i checked my creditfile last year it said that the debt had been partially settled. Should i make contact with them then as i have been reading on some posts that if you contact them then you have to wait another 6 years. Also can they contact my work about this debt to get money taken out my wages? I would lose my job if this happens

Then those posts have not understood the limitations act. The 6 years would only restart if you acknowledge the debt. Acknowledgement can only be by making a payment or an offer of payment in writing.

 

Also can they contact my work about this debt to get money taken out my wages?
No. They would need a court order to do this. DCA's have no legal powers at all.

 

Send the letter requesting the copy of the agreement.

 

No agreement = no enforceable debt.

Hi Puppy135

 

I notice the last post on this thread was in January, so you may not check back anymore, but if you do you should check out my thread about Southbank Capital Limited.

 

They do not have a consumer Credit licence with the Office of Fair trading, so should not be engaged in debt collection activity.

 

They are also not registered as Data controllers with the ICO so are not leagaly entitled to process personal details, for any purpose!

 

I have fowarded this info to the relevant agencies and strongly urge any one else who can evidence them as trying to collect debts and processing data etc to also let them know.

 

Here is the link:

With thanks,

ScruffyProfessor
