    • 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 guys and girls advice needed.

 

Long story short: September 2008 got contract phone with vodafone(18 months), february 2009 got made redundant.

Couldn't afford to pay, tried as much as possible.

Vodafone rescinded my contract early and added the 12+ months of line rental due. total debt $448.32

 

Debt passes to Capquest that write to me in no uncertain terms... you must pay it back and all the rest... debt is now 515.46.

 

I send a letter back saying that i am unemployed and on JSA and offering a token payment of £5 per month. No reply to that letter.

 

Today HL Legal writes to me, saying they want the full blance by 17th july or court actions, adding £55 for court cost and £70 solicitor cost.

 

Can you please advice on what to do next? thanks.

Today HL Legal writes to me, saying they want the full blance by 17th july or court actions, adding £55 for court cost and £70 solicitor cost. Only the judge can apply costs to a debt and they aren't the judge so I would think they are being a little ahead of themselves

Since tha greement is only a couple of months old, they are well within their rights to expect payment, however if you cannot pay then you cannot pay.

 

The very worst case scenario is that they take you to court, obtain a CCJ against you and the judge makes you pay what you can reasonably afford and since you are on JSA I would think that it would be equal to or less than the £5 a month that you are offering.

 

I would be requesting from Capquest written clarification of exactly what charges they have applied to the account and then under what terms and condition do they regard this as lawful. if there is no stipulation in your original agreement with your telephone company stating that such charges are allowed then they are stuffed as the amount they are demanding is incorrect :D

 

You don't have a contract with Capquest, such charges should be applied to their client, not to you

Re Account: xxxxxxxxx

 

Thank you for your letter dated xx/xx/xx the contents of which have been noted.

 

I have recently looked at the documentation of this account and note that since you took over the management of this account the balance has increased from £448.32 to a new balance of £515.46, an increase of £67.14.

 

I would be most grateful if you could provide an explanation of what this amount represents and also why you have applied it to this account without an agreement specifically allowing such a charge to be made.

 

I trust you will act with diligence on this matter

 

Yours etc

 

edit as appropriate and ensure you send it off recorded.

 

Cheers

Ronnie

  • 4 years later...

Ok long time member not posted in the last few years due to ill healt...

 

On 6th july (my bday of all days) i ve received the paperwork from the northampton bulk centre... relating to a debt with vodafone.

 

The amount that capquest chased me for was £380... but on the court papers the original amount claimed is 299.99(?).

 

And the bulk centre in northampton confirmed the claim number.

 

I can't remember exactly the dates... but i think this could be either SB or close by...

 

Anyway is there anyone that can help file a defence?

Hi Phonesurgeon,

 

Thanks for making me aware of this.

 

If you'd like me to get matters looked into could you email me with the details via the Contact us form here and quote the code WRT135 - CAG Forum in the subject line?

 

Once sent you'll receive an automated reply with a reference number. To make sure it reaches me could you update the thread with this and I'll get back to you as soon as I can?

 

Kind regards,

 

Lee

You have another thread where you say that you offered them £5 per month but they refused to accept that

 

Did you get letters of assignment for this?

 

The amounts don't match your previous thread. In any event, the bills will probably include times when they are making charges but failing to provide the service (after the termination of contract or when you didn't pay bills) so you might have a defense.

 

Did you receive any notification that this was about to kick off?

 

To avoid a default judgement you will have to reply to the court (online) by the date given
