    • Thanks all! My wife was driving at the time (took our daughter to get new school uniform) and I wasn't there so I'm not sure what the signage was actually like, but yes, Parkopedia says 2:30, so it's barely over that. I will check it out with her when she gets home later, I haven't even told her about this yet as she'll probably be quite upset. So - likely my best response at this stage is to just wait it out until a Letter Before Claim arrives?

    • 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.

I had my merc taken back, after trying to get reduced payments untill I got myself back on my feet, all to no avail. This was 7 weeks ago and have recieved a letter from thier soliciters today demanding £14,404 within 7 days, I owed them £24,975 so by my simple adding, they have sold the car very cheaply. Now my questions are, do I have any recourse to the amount it has been sold for, since I minimum payments with all crediters including my mortgage, and I recieve child tax & working tax credit, so in other words I am in a mess finacialy. Do these soliciters have more clout than say dca or the like, or will they accept minimum payments as the others have done. If this goes to court what can they do to me ie: baliff or make me sell my property. MUCH ADVICE NEEDED HERE.

Iam in the same boat as you on this one, although I cant offer advice I give my support to you.

 

I tried to make an arrangement with them it went on for months with letter writing, faxes which were all ignored, in the end I phoned them and they said 'oh yes its under consideration will have a decision within 48 hours' again this went on for weeks (together with the repo company ringing and knocking on the door for the car), in the end I just got so fed up I told the repo people to take it, rung MBF, they denied ever receiving any requests from me and that a restructure would have to be made in writing and a decision made within 48 hours.

 

FIVE weeks later I received a letter to say that they are not prepared to restructure the agreement and that I am no longer to be in legal possession of the vehicle (it had long gone back).

 

Only last week I received a letter telling me to ring them to discuss handing the vehicle back (fortunatley I have the receipt from the repo firm).

 

When I discussed this with the dca acting on behalf of MBF I asked about the shortfall, and was told that MBF would make an arrangement, by way of a loan agreement (regulated by the CCA 1974) for the shortfall at a rate I could afford.

 

Fortunately, ALL my telephone conversations both with the dca & MBF have been recorded.

 

I am concerned with what they sold yours for, and am really pi**ed off with the collector as he put on the collection receipt that the car was unroadworthy, dirty and interior was fair condition - the car was my pride & joy and was only valeted two weeks previous and bearly 12 months old.

MINE WAS RECORDED ON THEIR SHEET AS GOOD CONTION AND VERY CLEAN, so if they have recorded yours as you say I too would be worried. My car would stand on any forecourt at £19000+ so what they have sold it for is peanuts, I told the soliciters that I wanted a breakdown of how the final amount has been calculated, then hopefully with some advice I can take this forward. M.B. Finance absolute pants no help ever offered, Itried for a restructure but was refused, when my situation money wise changed for the better allbeit breifly I tried a second time, just to be told they would not consider a second application for restructure, this after being told on the phone that this would be acceptable. They are CRAP

can someone let me know where I stand on the rights of the solicitors acting for M.B, eg can they put a charging order on my property, should I let them take me to court (as I think I acn get payments reduced to what I currently pay all my other creditors), can they instruct a baliff etc. help needed here please.

Hi,

 

Well I received my solicitor later this morning demanding over £14k within 7days - absolutely disgusted as it would appear they sold mine for less then £6k - iam sure they sild the car on its cherished number which was a 52 plate but the car was registered 2006.

 

A lot a questions need to be asked over this.

 

If I were you I'd post in the Legal section, Ive already posted mine there.
