    • Good evening, My husband and I are looking for some help regarding a faulty car which we have recently purchased from Big Motoring World Enfield. The details are as follows: - Make - Nissan Qashqai 2017 1.2L milage 55,349 miles.  Date purchased -   01/06/2024 Price paid - Deposit £9000, finance £4794 (this includes the 3yr Nissan extended warranty), buyers fee £249.      Total including all fees etc = £ 13794.        Initially, during the test drive, there was no problem with the car at all and this is why my husband bought the car on the day. No problems on the way home from the dealership and up to three days after purchase, the car drove smoothly. However, after day 4, occasionally we would feel a slight shudder during some gear changes (automatic car). Over the next few days these shudders worsened and then on day 5 the car would make very a very loud shudder with every single gear change. It was at this point we contacted Big Motoring World for advice as we are still under the 14 days no questions asked return.  My husband contacted BMW for advice on 06/06/2024 and stated the problems as above. He spoke to a sales person who informed him that he should only take the car to a Nissan dealership (we have now been told that this is false information). We were also promised that a courtesy car would be provided for us after the fault on the car had been identified and confirmed by their mechanic fixing the car. We took the car to the garage that Big Motoring World had told us to go. Upon arrival there we discovered it was a third-party garage, not Nissan. We took the car to the garage on day 9. The mechanic ran a diagnostic test which found no faults, but after the test drove the car and below are his findings...   we scan the car but no faults with the gearbox showing but when I test drove the car it was really juddering and jumping.I spoke to my auto transmission specialist and he said they are very common on these as the CVT belt starts jumping within the box due to pressure loss.  We had this vehicle in for diagnostics for gearbox mate but both the gearbox and battery are faulty.Gearbox supplied and fitted comes to £3500 plus vat   Where we are at now…. My husband spent all of day 10 (11/06/2024) making phone calls between the garage, Warranties2000 and Big Motoring World. He tried, unsuccessfully to find out if the diagnostic reports had been shared between all three. Everyone kept saying the report hadn’t been received and yet the garage assured us it had been sent. Eventually we were told that the courtesy car would be given to us if it was deemed the works to fix the car would take longer than 8 working hours, and that decision would be made after 48hours of receiving the report. Today is day 11 and no decision has been made as nobody is telling us any decisions as people are off sick or on holiday! Today we called the garage and told the mechanic NOT to start any work as we will be returning the car. He said none have been started and we have left the car in his storage as he has deemed the car undrivable. I have sent an email to BMW now formally stating that we want to return the car and I have used the terminology that was suggested.   What can we do next?   Thank you everyone. .  
    • Yes will do thanks Dave, I wonder what will happen at the preliminary hearing no idea what they will ask I assumed once I sent the proof they asked for about my sons condition that I would have just  been given the go ahead to be Litigation friend
    • First the judge will rule on you representing your son, which will be a doddle. After that the full hearing date will be fixed, with WSs exchanged 14 days before. So for the moment just concentrate on getting the right to represent your son.  
    • Thank you, the mediations in a couple of days so hopefully they show up this time. I'll update this thread after how it goes

    • 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 Chankin,

I know exactly how you feel and it's very worrying Martin has made a seperate thread for people like you and me who are either yet to start paying or like me have just started. Except I'm not paying for receiving nothing.

Drop a post in there as it'll help to see how many need a certain letter involving these circumstances. And anyone else reading please do this too.

 

My lump sum was due beginning March but they added the interest anyway.

even though it was on hold. Don't worry click the red triangle and join in and fight back.

Hi cj

I think Martin wants an idea how many have still to pay although there's more info in this thread that applies to all of us maybe post a bit over there to get an idea who will need a certain kind letter I think

Thanks I can acknowledge around 25 reports.

Basically I thought it would be a good idea to offer the help to those who are not being represented by solicitors-I think its reasonable to assume that this group will be taking guidance from them.

Hi I don't mean to put a spanner in the works and will delete this post if it is out of context, but please you guys have a read of my case and see if it has any relation to what you guys are going through, as admin and other site members just keep referring me to this thread. here goes...

 

In April 2007, I was a 19yr old young man preyed upon by a Computeach pressure salesman. He promised me only 8 hours a week of study would be fine to complete the course in two years. I have this on my copy of the contract signed by Computeach and myself.

 

I also explained to the salesman my personal situation with my son whom at the time was seriously/terminally ill. He assured me that it wouldn't be a problem etc and again like most other people on these forums was promised a world of 'personal' tutoring, support, individually tailored tutoring etc etc. I have all my records in order.

 

The financial side of it was funded through a Barclays Career Devlopment Loan for 80% of the course fees. The other 20% of the course fees were funded via a company called Marehill Finance, who I understand to be Computeach's 'in house' finance department.

 

Barclays Loan - £3800.00

Marehill Finance - £750.00

Deposit - £200

 

Course Total - £4750

 

I managed to complete my first part of the course which was the IC3 module, so around 25% of the total course length.

 

I kept in touch with computeach via email about my personal situation and did ask on several occassions for a refund and to cancel the course they said it wouldn't be possible even in my situation and all they would do is give me a 12month extention on the course.

 

I am claiming for a partial refund and have informed barlcays by way of letter that I am looking for a refund from computeach so that I can pay off the loan I have with them. As regards to the Marehill finance part of the finance, I have been paying that since June 2007 and it is fully paid off in June 2010.

 

I am looking for advice on how to go about claiming my course fees back, including examination fees that I havent even sat. Also how to tidy up the finance and get these loans cleared, hopefully in the way of a refund via Computeach.

 

Sorry for the lengthy post but I am thorough ;)

I am also getting to the point where I don't know wether to just cancel my standing order with barclays, move my bank account (I bank with Barclays) and let them chase me for the money/take me to court and have it all out there?

Hi Dale good to see you here.

Yes it was me who contacted you and referred you here after I stumbled on your post which was in the general forum.

I did move your post here.

I was interested to read of your finance deal with Marehill and it prompted me to look into their dealings.

Up to you posting I was not aware of Marehill except to see they were showing as registered at the same postcode as Computeach on the ICO public register.

 

I also thought it was interesting to see that Barclays had been in co-operation with Computeach with finance previously - which I dont think anyone was aware of.

Presumably this was before Advent were partnered with BPF.

Having looked at their Consumer Credit Licence,I saw that Marehill Finances Consumer Credit Licence expired in June 2009 and there appears to be no conclusive sight of it being renewed.

I have contacted both the OFT and Dudley trading standards to get clarification.

Can you please indicate Marehills address and postcode from your last communications from them ?

And also any company reg details from their letters.

Thanks.

Hi Martin, yes it has all come together for me now and I think I have landed in the right place.

 

I have ALL copies of any agreements made between myself, Marehill Finance, and also BPF.

 

Quick question, now they have no longer got a licence could I cancel my direct debit to them and not worry about debt collectors?

 

Secondly, here is Marehill Finance's last address I have on my credit agreement with them;

 

Marehill Finance LTD

University House

Jews Lane

Dudley

W. Midlands

DY3 2AH

 

Yes you may recognise this address, as it is EXACTLY the same building that CT trade from and where there in-house training happens, if it happens at all.

 

I have sources a second address, which is Vittoria Street, Birmingham, West Midslands, B1 3ND

 

Consumer Credit Licence no. 156676

Company House no. 1764942

signed up with them 30 April 2009, decided didnt want to continue so tried to cancel with advent, but no-one got back to me. I haven't paid anything yet, but due to start paying on 30/04/2010. As far as im aware any DD has not been cancelled. I was going to pay everything in one go, but definately dont want to be paying anything now. getting worried as im unemployed and cant really afford to pay out £5000, and i have already decided on another career path to persue. please advise as best you can :)

I haven't had a chance to read 2100+ threads, but if it was me in some people's situation then I would not be paying a penny, it seems blatantly obvious that the contract/agreement will not be fulfilled....this just sounds a little similar to the Park Hampers situation from a few years ago. If there are those that have paid and it is unlikely that they are going to be getting anything else from this company then it would seem to be an unlawful recission of contract on their part.....I would write/use Consumer Direct / Trading Standards / Local MP / OFT and the FOS. Were they part of any governing association or trade body ? Also it might be worth contacting the official receiver too. If there is a lawyer representing one or a few then hopefully it should filter through to the rest of those in a similar situation. If any people do get contacted by a debt collector, then let us know.....

So I am to write to trading standards and consumer direct and cease any payments asap? await to hear from them and then take it from there?

 

One point to make is that I havent actually contacted CT recently requesting a refund as I have seen it as pointless and chose to contact BPF first. Computeach are part of ALOT of 'industry' governing bodies, of which I find probable that they are all in on the [problem]?
