    • 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.

Doh, I made a typo in the account number... I received the attached letter back from NW today, so I'm about to post a new request with the correct account number.

 

It would seem that NatWest have a CCA team... Also, they returned my initial letter to me, which was stamped 'RECEIVED BY SPEC/REC DEL' in red.

Ah the lovely Miss Bennett. She wouldn't know a valid CCA if she saw one.

 

If you applied for the account online in the early part of 2000 onwards I'm confident they probably don't have the original. A customer services advisor from Nat West admitted to me that they didn't keep the originals for those who applied online. I received a badly scanned page 3 of a 3 page document and a year later they still haven't found the original.

 

Bless em, I hope they really appreciated all that extra storage space they gained by shredding/chucking out the old agreements.

Ah, this one's for Mrs. Lunar. Wasn't online but it was after 2000 IIRC

 

Might still be ok, they weren't the sharpest tools in the box at that time. Post it up once it arrives and we'll take a look.

 

From my point of view and to give you an idea of what to expect... I'm a year and a month since they defaulted on the 12+2 days. They sent me through an unenforceable agreement, spend SOME time looking for the missing pages, rang me told me that they didn't have them.

 

It was passed onto Tritron (in house) then to Green & Co (in house solicitors) then Intrum Justicia (acting on behalf of, rather than having bought the debt). I've not heard a word for over a month, and generally each "outfit" goes away when I explain i'm waiting on the missing pages and am recording all their calls for my records.

 

They haven't sold the debt on to an external dca yet either, but I don't know what timescale they work to in that respect. In some ways i'm looking forward to that, as I want to gather evidence of them trying it on :)

Hmm, here's a thought: my mortgage is with Nat West. It's a tracker and it's doing really well with the way interest rates are at the moment! I've also *never* missed a payment, the mortgage is alway paid before everything else.

 

How susceptible am I to retaliation if I e.g. dispute the account due to lack of a CCA? I'm not overly worried; back in 2007 I claimed a couple of grand back in bank charges without the bank playing silly beggars.

Ok, here is my take on things:

 

The initial application form makes no reference to any of the prescribed terms and is therefore not an enforceable agreement.

 

CCA #1 I believe is the one from when the account was taken out. Looking at the copy I've been presented with it does not appear to be the reverse side of the application form. While it does contain the prescribed terms it does not make any reference to the account holder, nor is there a signature so unless they've hidden it and not told me then I can't see how it is inforceable.

 

CCA #2 I believe is their current version, like CCA#1 it has prescribed terms but doesn't refer to the account holder.

 

I believe this bundle they've sent me is unenforceable. Could someone please confirm, or put me right? Thanks :D

I would agree. It's unlikely that page was on the back of the application form and the application form alone isn't an agreement. Merely a pre-contractual application for credit.

 

I would suggest the CPR route now to find out if they have anything else to offer.

Well, I sent the letter above, stating that what they sent was an application form etc. etc., informed them the account was in dispute and to not chase me for payment etc. etc. I heard nothing back from them until today, when they have threatened to pass the account to a DCA.

 

I want to write back to them, reminding them of their legal obligations due to the account being in dispute. I'm just browsing the library for a template but can't find it. Could someone please post it here, or a link? Thanks :)

To be honest you can send polite requests and remind them of the CCA requirements until the cows come home.

 

I think you need to take a tougher stance and start the CPR request rolling.

Have you done a SAR?

 

If the application form page and the CCA.No1 could be shown to be part of the same document then they have a valid agreement but without page numbers to indicate they are page 1 & 2 respectively, they are, for now relying on their word alone that those pages belong together.

 

Other side of the coin is you cannot conclusively prove that the other page wasn't part of the application form either so it's kind of in limbo as i see it.

 

Best course i would say is to glean as much information out of them as possible with a SAR and CRP 31.16, hope they slip up with an admission that could be useful to you, or send you different pages stating 'this is the other side of the application form etc' which would make them look foolish and deceptive regarding the information they are supplying you.

I'm a bit nervous about this one now, squinting at the small print above the signature box it references the terms and conditions on the reverse. The only thing I have to go on is the fact that it has been presented to me on two different sheets of paper and that the overall quality of the two sheets is very different, hence they appear to be unconnected.

 

Is it worth progressing it like this? Or do you think I should try and get back onto a payment plan with them?

In due course you will get their "this is all you're getting, so there" type of letter which effectively confirms they can't produce the agreement because they have shredded it. But they will never admit it!
