    • 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.

1stCredit threatening me with bankrupcy


Recommended Posts

I have an outstanding debt with northern rock which was defaulted in 2002 and i have never paid a penny to the account since. I am now received letters from 1st credit saying they have bought the dbt and they are demanding full and final payment or else they will make me bankrupt.

 

I have requested a credit agreement which they sent which was a copy of a copy that they had doctored and amended which is not right i think?

 

I have wrote back stating that i cannot accept the credit agreement as it is not a true copy and that if they dont send me the original in 21 days then the account should be closed.

 

Any advice would b gratefully appreciated.

Have you at any point in the past 6 years acknowledged this alleged debt in writing. You say that you haven't paid anything since 2002 but have you made any offers of payment in that time, asked for time to pay etc- remember that this would be in writing and not on the phone?

Send them letter 'M' from here -http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/general-debt-issues/20758-creditors-dcas-letter-templates.html if indeed it is statute barred......and also send their letter to the OFT, they are under close scrutiny by the OFT at the moment.....(send the letter recorded)

NOT again! 1st Credit have been told by the OFT only a couple of weeks ago to stop threatening ordinary consumers with bankruptcy

 

Send a copy of their letter threatening bankruptcy to the OFT stating that you understand that 1st Credit have been warned by the OFT that they are supposed to stop using the threat of bankruptcy as a means of collecting consumer debt

 

Do not tell 1st Credit or they may think they have to take it forward to avoid the wrath of the OFT
