    • 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.

I wrote asking for CCA from Alliance and Leicester which they didn't send. They sent a series of 'standardised' (?) letters which offered a variety of offers including writing off some of the debt, reducing payments if I contacted them by a certain date.

I ignored this and sent a letter saying I believed the debt was unenforceable as I hadn't received CCA.

They have now sent me a copy of the CCA and a copy of current terms and conditions.

However the CCA is illegible for the most part (my signature is clear as is my address etc) The letter they sent with it states 'We appreciate the copy of the original agreement is not very clear but it is the best copy Alliance and Leicester can provide. For the avoidance of any doubt, all of the necessary and prescribed terms are included in the credit agreement and in addition you will find that these terms are also set out in the copy of the current credit agreement we also provided you with.'

 

I'd be very grateful if someone could advise me on whether this is enforceable if its not possible to read what it says on the agreement. :-?

Hi,

If any agreement is illegible, it is unenforceable as you have to be able to CLEARLY read the terms and conditions.

 

Can you post it up and let others have a look

HI Dudley,

 

If that is all they sent you, I don't believe it would stand up in court.

There is nothing I can read clearly.

Can you see if it has the APR, credit limit or a statement saying they will set the credit limit, repayment terms and panalty clauses cos I can't see any.

 

I see you had to have a few goes but you got there in the end.

Just by my answering this post will bump it up for others to see.

This is all they sent apart from current terms and conditions and the letter I've quoted at the start of my thread. As far as APR, credit limit etc, if it is on there its impossible to see due to the state of the print.

Can you tell me my next move please? thanks again for your replies, you've been really helpful

This is a good letter which I pinched from Ida.

You may have to edit it a bit to suit your situation but you know better than me.

You ought to point out that any agreement has to be legible to make it enforceable and contain the prescribed terms. As you can't make them out you have to assume they aren't there.

 

They will try to fob you off with the line that they have complied with your request and try to default you but you have a legal remedy to that too.

I just found a useful thread re: illegible cca's which I thought may benefit others. It's titled 'when is a CCA enforceable?' and started by Alf 2000 on 31st Aug 08

 

I've written my letter using this and will post result.
