    • 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 TFD,

 

Do you know if Lowells now own the debt. BC should have sent you a Notice of Assignment to confirm this.

 

If Lowells are now the owners, you have little choice but to deal with them as BC would have no further legal interest in the debt.

 

If there is no credit agreement, 10% sounds like a realistic target for a F&F.

 

:-)

 

 

Yes

 

I did received the Letter of Assignment at the time. It looks a bit dodgy to me. Has been sent by Lowell and the letterhead from BC looks weird to me.

 

I said BC cos I need to do something with the credit they left in my file too.

 

I was just thinking that if there is no agreement and is in dispute then they cant sell it or pass it to someone else. Is it?

 

Thanks

There is no mention of any charges or PPI in this thread.

 

Given what you have described, I would suspect there are charges from Barclaycard.

 

If the debt has been sold on - the charges cannot be used to offset any alleged indebtedness - and should be paid to you.

 

Did you pay any charges?

 

 

 

Hi Bang

 

You right. Like I said, I did try everything to get my agreement from BC to find out if there are charges and PPI.

 

There are some charges but like most of people in here said, and they right, that was my mistake cos I left money in my account and they took it. I couldn't do anything about that though. That's why I want to offer them 10% for F&F Settlement.

 

Thanks

Hi TFD,

 

I was just thinking that if there is no agreement and is in dispute then they cant sell it or pass it to someone else. Is it?

Although that may sound right, I think you're wrong.

 

You don't know for sure if there is no credit agreement. All you know is that they haven't sent you a copy but they're not obliged to produce it unless they want to rely on it for court action/enforcement.

 

There are some charges but like most of people in here said, and they right, that was my mistake cos I left money in my account and they took it. I couldn't do anything about that though.

What we've said is that BC were entitled to take money from your bank a/c to settle BC arrears.

 

BUT, if there were any default charges on the BC a/c (for late or missed pay'ts or over-limit charges), these can be reclaimed in full. If you don't have this data on old statements that you've kept, you can get statements going back 6 years by sending BC a SAR with the £10 fee.

 

So, if you think there are default charges on the bC a/c within the last 6 years, send BC a SAR to get the data.

I think that they have nothing to rely on, in court. They didn't produce it when I sent SAR with the £10 fee, or when the FOS asked for it.

More than this, its now more than three years since we disputing this and I think that if BC have a case they will take you to court asap, don't they?

 

 

What we've said is that BC were entitled to take money from your bank a/c to settle BC arrears.

 

I know. You are right. I didn't knew this at the time. That's why I said it was my mistake. I admit it.

 

BUT, if there were any default charges on the BC a/c (for late or missed pay'ts or over-limit charges), these can be reclaimed in full. If you don't have this data on old statements that you've kept, you can get statements going back 6 years by sending BC a SAR with the £10 fee.

 

So, if you think there are default charges on the bC a/c within the last 6 years, send BC a SAR to get the data.

 

I do have the statements from when I SAR them but to be honest don't really understand everything that's in there. I will try and squeeze my brain a bit more.

 

Thanks Slick

Agreed but, because they replied to your CCA request, the account may no longer be considered to be "in dispute".

 

This is why I referred you to the case of Carey v HSBC on the previous page.

 

In any event, try to work out what charges there are on the a/c from the data you have. If you are stuck, we'll try to help with this.

 

Reclaiming charges will be far more useful than discussing events that have happened and you cannot change.

I have checked in detail all the documents from SAR and in section "insurance details" is stated "no data present".

 

As for the charges there are a few for late payments and for going over the limit.

 

A bit stack now tbh.

Hi TFD,

 

Did you think there was definitely PPI on the a/c, or you weren't sure.

 

Have you put the penalty charges onto a compound interest spreadsheet, to see what the total of charges and interest comes to.

Hi Slick

 

I am not sure about the PPI. The account was open back in 2004.

 

Have you put the penalty charges onto a compound interest spreadsheet, to see what the total of charges and interest comes to.

 

No I didnt. I did try to do it but........i am a bit slow to understand how this works.

 

I will figure it out some how :)

 

thanks

 

ps: but what i know is that all they have about it is just a signed application form.

Hi TFD,

 

This is useful - http://www.consumerwiki.co.uk/index.php/Interest_Tutorial

 

Enter the penalty charges onto this spreadsheet - http://www.shweb.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/interestcalcs.xls

 

Change the interest rate to 24.9%, enter the type of charge (late pay't; over-limit), the amount and the date. The spready will then do the calc's for you.

 

If you're still stuck, ask for help.

So you're listing penalty charges but not PPI ?

 

How does the total compare approximately with the a/c balance.

Hi all

Thanks

TFD

 

BC sold the "debt" to Lowell - so they own the "debt" - but the original charges remain with BC.

 

As a result of the "debt" now being with Lowell, BC now cannot set off the charges against a "debt" they no longer own.

 

This does not mean that they will not claim they can!

 

How long is it since you actually made a payment to this debt or acknowledged its existence in writing, as with the way things are running on here it could be very close to being SB?

Thanks guys for the replies.

 

Last payment was back in 2009. Feb or march . I never acknowledged the debt since then as they failed to supply the credit agreement.

If you send a letter against the unlawful charges or a letter fora full and final offer it doesn't meant that you acknowledged debt existence in writing?

In my opinion, reclaiming penalty charges would NOT acknowledge the debt.

 

But making a F&F Settlement offer could do, unless you said something like:-

 

"I deny owing you any debt due to your inability to produce the necessary credit agreement or paperwork as required by the Consumer Credit Act 1974.

 

However, I am prepared to offer, Without Prejudice and without admitting to any alleged debt, the sum of £xxx in F&F Settlement of the alleged debt."

 

In your case, as you last paid in early 2009, the alleged debt would not become Statute Barred for another 2 years and 9 months.
