    • Perfect, thanks Dave.   You're right, a whole dodo storm this has been. As sons of first-generation immigrant parents, whenever something like this happens the old man panics. There was a whole "appeal this now" because my dad paid for the parking as he was with the hirer at the time and he isn't as tech-savvy as my brother so he ended up doing what he did and because I don't live there anymore it came all the way down to this.  But yes, we'll do this SAR and see what comes of it.  Will keep posting here with the hopes that it may benefit someone in the future.  Thanks again, everyone. 
    • saying the thread is locked, what shall I do?
    • Please fill in the forum sticky and upload a copy of the invoice, redacted of anything that could identify you -

    • 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,

 

I have received help from this site, so this is for the people who have had their car taken and it is still within the 5-7 days before lbl sell it.

 

Firstly, I'm a moron for getting a log book loan. We know that - so lets move on quicly.

 

They took my car Wed 3 March from outside my house. It was the usual - they had clamped it and if I didn't hand over the keys, I would be liable, they said, for the towing costs. So no car, they wanted £1,800 and said they would sell the car in five days if I didn't pay.

 

I decided to go to court for an ex parte injunction and it went like this:

 

Fill out an N1 claim form, the brief details of the claim being for "the return to the claimant of the vehicle taken from his/her possession on DATE by repossession agents acting for the defendant".

3 Copies

 

Fill out an N16A -General form for injunction. This is a one page form where you ask the court that the defendant "be forbidden from selling, auctioning or otherwise disposing of the vehicle currently in its possession and return it to the claimant.

3 copies

 

Witness statement - your own, no need for exhibits yet.

3 copies

 

Go to the local court at 10am (before the judges start their normal lists) and say you have an ex parte injunction application. This costs £150, or if you are on benefits you are exempt (take evidence).

 

Wait until a judge has time to hear the injunction.

 

In my case, it took 5 minutes for the judge to decide to grant an injunction order to forbid lbl from disposing of the car and they have to come back to court with a defence etc.

 

I think it is important to be able to stop the sale of the vehicle, and get a proper hearing.

 

The "agent" who picked up my car was not licenced by the Security Industry Authority, which I think you have to be in order to immobilise and take cars.

 

I can give more information on detail if required.

 

In addition, with regard to the lbl documentation, ie, Bill of Sale and Contract, on 18 February the OFT (go to OFT website and search lbl) issued a report on their concerns about the Bill of Sale wording, etc. This is very useful for the court action.

 

 

Frustrated.

Well Done mate!

More work for poor Mr Wismayer to defend...

Their reputation now goes before them within the courts of the UK believe me...

 

Question is: will they take any notice of the injunction because they have been known to ignore such 'trivialities'

Er, the judge added a penal notice, which includes the words "If you do not obey this order you will be guilty of comtempt of court and you may be sent to prison".

 

They are apparently sending a barrister this morning to court. Wish me luck!!

The best of luck frustrated - let us know how you get on :)

Halifax - £2281, successfully refunded all charges after LBA letter & telephone call.

Have been offered the difference between the £20 and £12 charges from Capital One -- am sending LBA for remainder.

GE Money - Received settlement of £441, being total charges requested. No interest though.

CCA'd Bank of Scotland / Blair Oliver Scott to produce CCA Agreements on two Credit Cards - well in default, although still chasing payment!!!

All in all, quite busy at the moment and enjoying every minute of it

Hi, just got back from court.

 

Llb sent a barrister and solicitor. Their goal was: 1 - to get the injunction lifted so that they could sell my car. 2 - to get costs awarded to them for the failed injunction. This would have meant I owed them for the loan against the car that I didn't have, and about £5k legal costs.

 

Well, it didn't go well for them. I did not get the car back today, but the injunction forbidding lbl from disposing of it remains in place until a full trial of the issues. They were also refused their costs.

 

The judge was very interested in the OFT report about the unfair consumer terms in the Bill of Sale. At the half day hearing there will be a full discussion of lbl's methods of collection and their contracts.

 

So, it turns out that it is possible to stop these people in their tracks from selling the vehicle before getting a proper hearing.

Well done as Fleeced says more work for Wismayer's ..........Incidentally you could introduce witnesses as to their collection practices by asking other victims to make statements & if necessary attend court to give evidence & be cross examined. There may be a few willing to do so:-D

 

If you do you may have to seek permission to amend your PoC but being a LiP you could try to do that at the commencement of the next hearing

Thanks. :) I have permission from today's hearing to put in an amended Particulars of Claim as I added various points of law at the hearing orally and the judge said it may as well be all put together.

 

The order is:

 

18 March amended PoC

1st April, their defence

 

The barrister wanted a month for defence, but judge said no.

 

Has anyone had contact with lbl's new repossession company, Templar Enforcement Agents Limited? Their agent is not registered and licenced by the Security Industry Authority under s.12 of the Private Security Industry Act, which you have to be to immobilise cars.

 

Companies House states that Templar was only incorporated in Sept last year. The company itself does not need a licence, but the agent does.

 

As for the injunction witness statement I produced to get the court to stop lbl from selling the car, I could copy and paste on here if anyone needs to do same?

Hi Frustrated i have been dealing via oft and the financial ombudsman to get my case resolved and after nearly 4 weeks of getting there but very slowly i came across your article yesterday and decided why not!!

I went to court yesterday in barnet at 1 pm ...i walked out of the judges room at 2.20 with the order granted. I know the victory is partial but man did i feel good...and the judge has ordered them to court within days. The judge also ordered me to serve the document on mm wich i promptly did. At least now they cant sell the car they were so desperate to steal and they have to come to court. i now want to print the oft report you are talking about and take it to the hearing which is on the 17th. Thank you for sharing your comments and i would encourage anyone to get up and do something about it.

Excellent work! If everyone who has their car taken goes to court before lbl can sell the cars, they will be forced to defend their actions in court every time, and they will need a lot more space for car storage.

 

I'll add a note later about the injunction hearing and the points of law the judge thought needed to be aired at a full hearing.

 

Incidently, if any of the cars come back damaged, it might be necessary to sue them for compensation.

Great result. It seems the courts are getting the measure of these people. However as Fleeced has already warned they do have a tendency to ignore court injunctions. If this happens to you it's imperative that you report them to the court who will I'm sure demand their attendance in person to explain their breach..............& possibly to commit them to prison, something which it's alleged by some is only a matter of time

Well today was my first day in court with mm . They appeared timeously and pushed as hard as they could to have the injunction lifted. I stated my case as fairly as i could with the judge and he ordered the case to go to trial. He also ordered that the injunction i got against them remains and is not to be lifted. Again i realise i have a way to go but this temporary victory is sweet. Especially as they did not take it very well.

Hi, I'm new to this, but unfortunately not to lbl. I wish I'd found you earlier but better late than never. This is all scary. Ive just had my agreement terminated by them, and am really scared about what happens next. I really admire you for fighting back, will keep my fingers crossed for you and will definitely be watching this space.

Thanks joncris..no they did not like it one bit. At one stage in the hearing it looked like it was going their way and he looked as smug as anything ..but when the judge ruled against them his smugness seemed to desert him.
