    • So do I gather that you are out of pocket to the tune of £2500 which is part of the purchase price and a further £1800 in respect of the warranty? The £2500 was used to buy the car. Did warranties200 per year or did they pay big motoring world directly?
    • Farage has agreed to be interviewed by Nick Robinson on Panorama. 7pm this Friday, BBC1. He didn't do very well last time he was questioned on specific policies.
    • I did what I told my husband not to do…and I telephoned them. All credit where it’s due, the lady on the phone was very helpful. I’m not gonna lie I broke down on the phone as this has been incredibly stressful. Perhaps that helped, but I would like to think they just realised they sold us a faulty car.    so we only bought one extended warranty and that was with Nissan. The car salesman gave us the hard sell and we fell for 100%! Part of the sell was if there was ever a problem then we would only ever take the car to a Nissan garage. There was a problem after a few days and we were instructed to go to a third party grange! We contacted Nissan on the phone and they said they would put on a complaint for us so maybe that helped too.    we just want to try and get all of our spend back now. The deposit, money for the finance and money for the extended warranty. I reload we will probably have to pay costs but I guess we can’t argue with that. We just need a new car!!!! Aaarrgghhhh!    thanks so much for your help once again. 
    • Right I see I didn't realise it had to be laid out like that. I have had another go, sorry I'm really struggling here! 1.The Defendant contends that the particulars of claim are vague and generic in nature. The Defendant accordingly sets out its case below and relies on CPR r 16.5 (3) in relation to any particular allegation to which a specific response has not been made. 2. The claimant has thus far been unable to produce any evidence that the alleged debt has been legally assigned to them. Nor have they been able to provide evidence that notice of assignment was given to the defendant on the dates stated in the particulars of their claim. 3. The claimant has given no details as to the breakdown of their claim or what dates it relates to. As a result the defendant is unable to specifically defend the claim until the claimant can show how the amount has been reached. In the claimants particulars of claim, the claimant openly admits that they have a copy of the agreement and its terms and conditions but have failed to provide these to the defendant. Pursuant to the civil procedure rules Practice Direction 16 (7.3) Where a claim is based upon a  written agreement: (1) a copy of the contract or documents constituting the agreement should be attached to or served with the particulars of claim and the original(s)  should be available at  the hearing. With the court’s permission the Claimant is put to strict proof to:- a) show and disclose how the Defendant has entered into an agreement; b) show and disclose how the Claimant has reached the amount claimed ; c) show how the Claimant has the legal right, either under statute or equity to issue a claim; 4. As per Civil Procedure Rule 16.5 (4) it is expected that the Claimant prove the allegation that the money is owed. 5. It is therefore denied that the defendant is indebted to the claimant as alleged or at all.

    • 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 dont know if everyone is aware but Carphone warehouse has had its systems down for past few days as regards to T-Mobile. Everytime they do a contract the credit checks can give false passes and fails. Problem started with just in store they did like four credit checks (kept running them through different operators or something just to confirm details like chip and pin:S) Then finally I got hold of my brand new phone and a 24 month contract..

 

Waited 24 hours for sim to activate and it dosnt so I ring T-Mobile on 150 off the mobile (can still make calls) And after explaing situation the women said she has to go through the sign up again and also ran a credit check on me again! After that she said max within a hour probably in half a hour my phone would be up and running. Waited two hours and still did not work. Called again this time told just to wait untill evening and it would be fully working. Waited untill this morning then called again and they explained how it could take up to five days from when the phone was purchased.

 

Also told me how they have to do all credit checks AGAIN!!!! Which is obviously effecting my credit score which isnt too good as it is. And if it fails I would have to take phone back into the store and return it!

 

What rights have I got in regards to this? Since I did the contract already if I fail credit check now will they have any right to cancel my contract even though I would not be allowed to cancel it myself normally?

I was told on various occasions I have passed the credit check. This is a joke if I have to take phone back especially as it was not my fault that their systems are down...

Hi Sottyc,

 

There should only be one credit check done on you, the systems(and operators) should recognise that there is one that has been done.

 

As when a check is run it gives an Agreement Number (this should be a 9 digit number on your contract) and then they will connect everything for you, if there is no agreement number then there has been no check done.

 

The system makes an agreement number whether it be a pass or fail, and if someone tries to run multiple checks in a short period of time, it is flagged by T-Mobile Credit referals.

 

So what to do is call up customer services again and give them that agreement number or pop into a T-Mobile store.

Yeah I have various numbers on my contract dont know whats what. Problem is they say carphone warehouse systems just passed everyone. Hence why they have to run it again.

 

But why should they be allowed to cancel contract if my credit check dosnt pass this time and take phone back when I would never be allowed to cancel contract

Because your contract is subject to acceptance. There is no contract until you are set up on their system. So they aren't cancelling it.

 

Getting a contract is subject to acceptance by the network, which include a credit check.

But thats just the thing...In store they do a credit check..They check that the network approves..

 

Friend of mine was rejected from all networks when trying to get a contract out.

 

Which is why im so confused.

When you pop into a CPW store, they run a credit check (through T-Mobile's or the chosen network's system) and then that transmits a response to their system in order to process the sale.

 

So there is only one credit check done. If it hasn't been connected and CPWs systems where down a credit check most likely HASN'T been performed. Because only one check is done.

 

Your Agreement number is the one that is 9 digits long, it may say reference, contract number or something along those lines. e.g. 514321059.

 

Supply that to T-Mobile's 'Ready Team' and they will tell you if a credit check has been performed and whether or not its a yay or nay. If its a yes then they can connect everything for you.

Just called them and they said get a PIE number or something from car phone warehouse. Luckily just before i hanged up I noticed I have a credit check number on the contract said Credit Check:xxx (the numbers in place of x's) Gave him that and said ring back around ten to six lol

The CW check is only an authentication, not a credit check. This weeds out the stolen cards and box breakers. but has nothing to do with the network accepting the customer.

 

However, the situation is fatally flawed. You've bought the phone and whilst your connection is subject to acceptance, should they decide not to accept you, you already have the goods. Get it unlocked or put in a pre-pay SIM and carry on as before.

 

Your contract is only for the SIM card (as we often point out), if the phone goes faulty, the netowrk is not liable for it - so, if you are supplied the handset and LATER fail a check, they have decided not you have you as a customer, fair enough - but as you have already recieved the inducement - that's tough luck on them if they don't get the phone back, and I certainly would not be minded to return it.
