    • 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.

Hello folks.

 

Three years ago, DH won a claim against Morgan Stanley for unlawful charges. All was fine, and we were paying off the remainder of the balance by Direct Debit. One day, the payment appeared on our statement as Goldfish (it somehow skipped their minds to write to inform us they had bought out Morgan Stanley credit cards) and then after a couple of payments, the direct debit stopped. We had no statements at all from Goldfish, and phonecalls to Goldfish to ask what the problem was came to a dead end.

 

We dutifully sent cheques for the payments and they were not cashed. No contact whatsoever from Goldfish.

 

Then they were taken over by Barclaycard and the debt was passed to a DCA who began their usual harrassment.

 

So there are a couple of things here. We're making monthly payments to the DCA but I'd like to see if the debt is actually enforceable since all communication from these companies to us had stopped (and also reclaim any PPI).

 

Any advice?

ppi will be to the original OC or who ever owns them now.

 

as for paying the DCA, time for a CCA request me thinks

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...

Hello Iverbyrd

Came across your thread whilst looking for Morgan Stanley on here. I have a similar, but not the same (!):( issue!

I was defaulted by Morgan Stanley, and I am paying off debt by regular payments to MS. I was then chased by a DCA for payment of a goldfish account, which I knew nothing of. DCA ignores my letters. I then receive letter from Barclaycard saying that they are refunding excess charges (which I have not asked for!), meanwhile I am sill paying Morgan Stanley, and the DCA is showing the payments in their occasional letters.

I an now going to raise an information request on Morgan Stanley to see what happens!

Just thought you would like to know!

i'm in similar situation to some others.

 

i had a Goldfish card from the late 90's which defaulted around 2002 and i was chased for around 1 year by various DCAs. Then it went quiet and i've not heard anything. I didn't even get a default on my credit files for this account. The balance was over £5k.

 

i didn't request any charges/PPI refunds on this card because i wanted to let sleeping dogs lie, as the saying goes, but i also didn't know who to claim from as it got sold by Centrica/Lloyds/Morgan Stanley etc.

 

it's been over 6 years since i made any payment to this account or very nearly is.

 

should i reclaim the charges and PPI or let them go and if i do, what can happen?

 

obviously at this moment it's Barclaycard and previously they've paid well with my Providian claim.

 

thanks.
