    • So do I gather that you are out of pocket to the tune of £2500 which is part of the purchase price and a further £1800 in respect of the warranty? The £2500 was used to buy the car. Did warranties200 per year or did they pay big motoring world directly?
    • Farage has agreed to be interviewed by Nick Robinson on Panorama. 7pm this Friday, BBC1. He didn't do very well last time he was questioned on specific policies.
    • I did what I told my husband not to do…and I telephoned them. All credit where it’s due, the lady on the phone was very helpful. I’m not gonna lie I broke down on the phone as this has been incredibly stressful. Perhaps that helped, but I would like to think they just realised they sold us a faulty car.    so we only bought one extended warranty and that was with Nissan. The car salesman gave us the hard sell and we fell for 100%! Part of the sell was if there was ever a problem then we would only ever take the car to a Nissan garage. There was a problem after a few days and we were instructed to go to a third party grange! We contacted Nissan on the phone and they said they would put on a complaint for us so maybe that helped too.    we just want to try and get all of our spend back now. The deposit, money for the finance and money for the extended warranty. I reload we will probably have to pay costs but I guess we can’t argue with that. We just need a new car!!!! Aaarrgghhhh!    thanks so much for your help once again. 
    • Right I see I didn't realise it had to be laid out like that. I have had another go, sorry I'm really struggling here! 1.The Defendant contends that the particulars of claim are vague and generic in nature. The Defendant accordingly sets out its case below and relies on CPR r 16.5 (3) in relation to any particular allegation to which a specific response has not been made. 2. The claimant has thus far been unable to produce any evidence that the alleged debt has been legally assigned to them. Nor have they been able to provide evidence that notice of assignment was given to the defendant on the dates stated in the particulars of their claim. 3. The claimant has given no details as to the breakdown of their claim or what dates it relates to. As a result the defendant is unable to specifically defend the claim until the claimant can show how the amount has been reached. In the claimants particulars of claim, the claimant openly admits that they have a copy of the agreement and its terms and conditions but have failed to provide these to the defendant. Pursuant to the civil procedure rules Practice Direction 16 (7.3) Where a claim is based upon a  written agreement: (1) a copy of the contract or documents constituting the agreement should be attached to or served with the particulars of claim and the original(s)  should be available at  the hearing. With the court’s permission the Claimant is put to strict proof to:- a) show and disclose how the Defendant has entered into an agreement; b) show and disclose how the Claimant has reached the amount claimed ; c) show how the Claimant has the legal right, either under statute or equity to issue a claim; 4. As per Civil Procedure Rule 16.5 (4) it is expected that the Claimant prove the allegation that the money is owed. 5. It is therefore denied that the defendant is indebted to the claimant as alleged or at all.

    • 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 all,

 

I'm after a bit of advice and i'd really really appreciate some help on it. My best mate's dad died this week leaving 4-5k of credit card debt that his mother didn't know about. He had PPI on it but it's a bit of a grey area as to where he stands on claiming on it. Does anyone have any ideas about the legal implications of where the mother stands with absorbing the debts? Is she liable for them? There's a lot of worry happening with it which i'd like to give her a definite answer.

 

I really appreciate any help.

 

 

thanks,

 

 

jon.

His mother is most definitely not reponsible for paying this debt, If he was paying PPI it should be covered in the policy.

 

the Executor of the estate should notify the bank of his death enclosing a copy of the death certificate & that should be an end of the matter.

What is payment protection insurance (PPI)?

 

PPI is designed to help you pay your debts if you have an

accident, become ill or unemployed, or if you die. You can

buy PPI with most types of credit, such as hire purchase, a

personal loan, a mortgage, a secured loan (this is a second

mortgage on your home), a credit card or a store card.

PPI will pay part (or all) of your repayments on your loan or

credit agreement if you cannot work because you are ill,

have an accident or lose your job. It can also pay a lump

sum to your credit provider if you die before you have paid

the amount you owe on your credit agreement.

That's brilliant. Thank you both so much. You've made a very sad lady a little less sad and worried.

 

Sorry for adding something but i'm finding things out as soon as i find them. He also had a sole bank account with barclays which his salary is paid into. IT's £500 overdrawn at the moment. What would happen with that?

The bank should be notified in order to freeze the account & stop further interest being added. Accounts are normally paid by the executors of the estate after high priority debts have been paid. This could take a year depending on how complex the estate is. Have a look at the following link which will explain things in more detail. What happens to debts when someone dies? : Directgov - Money, tax and benefits

Ahh, i see. So as executor of his estate, she's liable for the overdraft despite it being completely in his name? Will they have to claim for that or is it up to her to instigate it?

 

Another thing that's come to light is that he wasn't the best at paying on time with the credit cards, What i would love is that she gets as much money to secure her future as i can offer her, would she still be able to claim back any credit card charges from them even though the debt has been paid by the ppi?

 

I really do appreciate this help.Thank you!

The Executor only pays from the Estate not their own money.

 

She will still be able to reclaim unfair charges on behalf of the Estate, but it would be better if that was done after the balance is settled by the PPI. This can be done within six years so there's plenty of time without having to rush things.

sorry to resurrect this thread but i need some more advice if possible. All the debts have been sorted apart from one loan that doesn't have ppi on it. They're now kicking off sending threatening letters to the widow demanding payment on the estate that simply isn't there. I've no idea where to take this, can anyone help? There's no money in the estate at all, what can they demand from her??

and this is who?

 

debts die with the debtor esp if they are civil debts

 

dx

please don't hit Quote...just type we know what we said earlier..

DCA's view debtors as suckers, marks and mugs

NO DCA has ANY legal powers whatsoever on ANY debt no matter what it's Type

and they

are NOT and can NEVER  be BAILIFFS. even if a debt has been to court..

If everyone stopped blindly paying DCA's Tomorrow, their industry would collapse overnight...

Hi,

 

I am in a similar situation. My father died and had 2 credit cards. One with Monument who immediately wrote off the debt and one with Egg who are hounding me for the money. My father has a property and hopefully when sold there will be some money left over to pay funeral expenses etc. He had no life insurance or other assets and my mother died 6 months prior to my father. When my mother died her banl loan and credit card with HSBC were immediately written off and HSBC were very helpful and understanding. Am I responsible for the debt to Egg and why did Monument write off the debt to them?

 

Whats the latest in your situation?

 

Any ideas ?

Sorry, i forgot to update!

 

Everything was finally sorted out once threats were issued to them with regards to the OFT and trading standards. All the debts were cleared. You're definitely not responsible for your father's debt. All the above advice was completely correct and they didn't have a leg to stand on.

 

Thanks to everyone!

 

What exactly are EGG saying? That you're responsible for the debt now? Or that they want money out of the estate?

Thats great news, glad you got it sorted.

Egg say that I need to sell the property and pay them, but other credit card just wrote it off no qibbles. Was planning to move into the property myself, but if I have to pay egg then I will have to sell it.
