    • 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 may be being silly, but I don't know if I am defending all, I suppose I am if the DN is ineffective??? Or do I need to just admit to the amount of arrears at the point of termination??

 

Sorry so many questions but I really want to get it correct and not make myself look a fool in court!!

 

Also the CPR, this can still be sent if I had already sent a SAR and they complied?

 

Thanks again

If you part defend you will get a CCJ....if you admit then you'll get a CCJ...!! And you MUST send the CPR....as a claim can be thrown out for non compliance in line with the Allocation Questionnaire / Draft Orders even before you get to court...

Ok I think the penny has dropped now!!

 

Just going to need help with the defence in due course;)

 

I am getting a colleague to post both after I have gone on holiday, so I will bide a bit more time on my return. Do you know if they count the 14 + 3 days including weekends and bank holidays/ I suppose that is what the + 3 days is for??

 

Thanks again

I have received a copy of the agreement with T&C'S together with a copy of the DN.

 

What I don't understand is why the arrears at the point of termination was in the region of £1k and they state "amount required to pay half total amount payable" in excess of £5k???

 

Also I gave the car back so can they do this?

 

If the above is all in order I guess my only defence is that the DN was a day or so out, and I don't hold much hope with that aspect!!!

 

Comments would be greatly received and what my next step of action should be.

 

Many thanks

Is the agreement unenforceable? Does it contain the prescribed terms? Interest rates, repayment terms, etc.

 

If the agreement is enforceable and the DN faulty, they may be allowed to reissue another DN and simply re-Default the account. I don't think they should be able to do that, but I suspect a numpty Judge may allow it, leaving you to appeal, at further costs, should you go on and experience that.

 

surfaceagent's thread on DN's will be invaluable, but I see you've been referred to it already.

I will have a proper look at agreement on Monday, post it on here and get an opinion, but I believe that it is probably in order.

 

The DN would only be defective if it cannot be proved that it was sent 1st class and the SAR doesn't reveal that.

 

The point I am trying to get to the bottom of is this :~

 

I was under the impression that once they terminated the agreement they could only claim the arrears at that point??? What they are claiming is the arrears in the region of £1K plus an additional substantial sum taking the balance to over £5K, which they state is sum due to make up to half of balance due!!! That's the bit I cannot see in the agreement so am unsure if they are playing games or not??? Also they had the veicle bacck and sold at auction, it just appears taht they are claiming the amounts had the loan run it's normal course and I don't know if that is correct???

 

Thanks again

As you VT'd the car, they will pay the amount from Auction to the account to reduced indebtedness.

 

They can terminate the agreement and the figures involved will be determined by the terms contained in it, which is why we'd need to see it. They are probably claiming interest to the end of the agreement, as it was terminated.

I suspect that Interest has been charged on the £125 Acceptance fee in that agreement (the one posted on page 1, also be aware you've left the agreement number on it...). It seems to be quite common with Black Horse agreements. You'll notice that the Purchase Fee goes with the last payment, but the "acceptance fee" is unaccounted for. Because the agreement doesn't say on its face that that is what they have done, you'll have to establish that that is so, by getting calculations done to demonstrate that what the agreement says is incorrect. A brief check with an online loan calculator gives a result closer to what it should be with the principle as 13120 (inc acceptance fee) as opposed to 12995 (what they say interest was charged on).

 

If interest has been charged on the that fee then it is unenforceable (for several reasons, not least that the amount of credit has been misstated).

 

If proceedings have been served, and you haven't already done so, you need to acknowledge service and put in a defence asap otherwise Blackhorse will request default judgment, get it, and then you'll have to apply to get judgment set aside...

Ok folks

 

Posting up the documents that I have, the agreement pg 1 is not too clear so if you need the figures retyping let me know.

 

Need to get this defence off today so urgent help much appreciated.

 

Thanks
