    • An update - Still receiving emails and letters - but have been getting text messages too. nothing aggressive just asking me to get in touch.    the text makes it look like it from the bank on first glance - it reads -   'the banks name' would like to dicuss our recent communication...etc... then lists IDR phone number and email FYI - reporting them as spam
    • Hello, After seeing all of the posts about BMW on here I really wish I hadn't even considered them! I bought a used car from them over the weekend, one specifically which had a reversing camera and cruise control in the advert. I was foolish at the time of purchase and didn't check to see these functions work on the test drive (totally my fault). Now that the car is home I've checked and checked and neither of these functions are available. I even checked on Parkers and it seems that no Skoda Kamiq '21 models come with any parking cameras at all. When buying the car, I was told all that was needed was 'Four signatures and £500' to secure it. I was never shown any of the documents, and instead the sales rep opened a box on his iPad and asked me to sign. He had been complaining about the length of time some customers take these days all throughout my time with him. (Again) foolishly I signed. In my email inbox I now have four attachments from BMW, one of which is my signature under a letter which basically says that the cars don't need to match the advertisements online, or have any of the features that a sales rep talks about. I realise that I've made mistakes in not doing my due diligence here, but thought I might as well ask the experts here if I have any rights left to claim that the car was miss-advertised, or if I unknowingly signed them away? Thanks in advance
    • where was this PCN:? please complete: pers i cant see the point in an sar yet await/if they ever send a letter of claim. as long as you've not moved since 2022 you are OK to totally ignore . dx  
    • ah this is a B2B PCP then as your are sending the SAR as a private individual and not as repping the co. you need to prove to them. unfortunately, i think that will also reset the 30 days. dx

    • 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.

On Saturday I received this letter from DG Solicitors threatening court action and placing a charge on my property. HSBC sent me an invalid DN and then terminated my contract and I accepted unlawful recission.

 

Please could someone advise what steps I should take next. I received a lot of help from Diddydicky and hope someone will be able to help further. Thank you

Hi Frett

 

I do not think that DG are in fact a firm of solicitors. They are not listed by the Law Society and are not members of SRA.

 

Have a look at this;

 

http://www.ukbusiness.hsbc.com/public/ukbusiness/pdf/en/litigati.pdf

 

The letter you have received threatens proceedings on the basis of documentation and actions issued/made by HSBC which do not comply with CCA, the regulatory statute under which you agreed to buy their services. They have since breached their contract with you as well, which you have accepted. There is simply no lawful basis for any of the threats within the letter and so I would write to ask DG why it is that HSBC is exempt from s88 of the Act and why DG does not need to consider the contents of OFT664 (Debt Collection Guidance) and feels able to pre-judge the outcome of any court hearing.

 

It might also be amusing to ask for the names of the solicitors themselves at DG and, if they are provided, cross reference with the SRA's various tribunals. It's not acceptable to receive threats in this way from anyone other than someone qualified to make them.

I have had a look at my default notices - and actually think that they are prob ok (with regards to the web site link posted). However, could someone who knows what they are looking for have a look at let me know what they think. Many thanks - have posted the DN above.

Hi Frettful, the description of the solicitors M.O. is printed at the bottom of your DN. Also, there are two named individuals printed there too.

I had very similar letters from various firms in the past - but they never followed up by the threatened action.

 

The most recent series of such threats lasted for over 2 years elapsed time - from a firm of solicitors called Spratt Endicott acting for RBS/Direct Line. They never took any further action - would not negotiate any F&F or affordable monthly payment.

 

Your letter does not say they WILL take the action threatened - it's probably just an empty threat if this is the first one you have had.

 

It's still with the in-house tame salaried "solictors" - so they are not yet at the stage of throwing real money at it and getting a "proper" firm of real solicitors to deal with it - may never get to that stage either if they think their chances of winning or getting paid quickly afterwards (in full) are not high.

 

Eventually my RBS case was handed over to another DCA and a 40% F&F agreed within a week of the new DCA taking over.

 

Hope this helps

I have had a look at the bottom of my DN Bill but no sign of the two individuals that you mentioned?

Hi Frettful, sorry, its not the DN. Its the sols letter.

 

Alan M.B. + Paul K.

 

The letter states that the "firm" is a "practicing name"

 

 

Bill

 

 

Thanks Bill I did see that just after I posted my last post. Very strange set of people hey?

Just an obersevation: DN dtd Tue 19 May 2009 - 4 working days if UK Mail (as per Bickford Smith directive) = Fri 22 May 2009, then 14 clear days = 5th June 2009 effective 6 the June 2009 - minus 2 days if sent 1st class.

They've made the classic mistake of demanding the payment within 14 days of the date of the DN - ignoring any time delay required for postage.

 

Also does "BY" 2 June not mean the same as "before" 2 June and "on or before" 1 June?

2 june would mean the last clear day, effective day to have been 3 june (your default) (time you had to correct arrears was 2 june) according to them, but the date seems short if taken to the letter of DN regs?
