    • thought your story rang a bell. https://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/topic/416315-knightsbridgecreditfix-iva-treated-me-very-badly-thinking-of-bk-now-help/ you vanished and never cameback. dx  
    • and it legally informs them of your correct and current address as you must do with all old debts last paid/used in say 7 yrs you dont want backdoor CCJ's. what were the names of these IVA scammers, the one you took it out with, and the one that scammed you to let them take over please? your story is slightly worrying. dx  
    • Incidentally, congratulations on not buying the warranty. That is another Big Motoring World rip-off. See what we have to say about extended warranties and the Big Motoring World attitude to them is particularly unhelpful
    • well that google is from 2019, but the photos are certainly of someone driving on the public highway in/out by an ANP system, though the site of where the camera actually is, is not showing there are anpr cameras up by the low yellow barriers but they wont get from facing shots from there. interesting, needs to be checked if the road IS a public highway but on private land, cause as you say, if the whole area is max 4hrs , how does the hotel work< ?? must have a reg entry system.  now as for taking pictures of cars on a public highway then guessing the are parking ...erm.... i dont thnk thats right nor allowed under GDPR. dx  
    • Under the consumer rights act 2015, if a defect manifests itself within 30 days and you have a right to return the vehicle for a full refund. If any defect manifests itself within the first six months of ownership then you have a right to return the vehicle for a full refund subject to the retailers right to carry out a repair. If the retailer declines to repair or if the repair fails then you have the right to return. The problem here is that you have to assert their right. It's a bit ridiculous – but you have to do let them know preferably in writing that you are asserting your rights under the consumer rights act either the 30 day right or the six month right. I suppose that you haven't done this – which would be quite understandable because most people don't know that these rights exist and that they are subject to these conditions – the condition that the right must be inserted. It is frankly ridiculous. The dealers know it and we have lots of instances of this company delaying appointments et cetera and our strong suspicion is that they are simply trying to run their customers out of time. On the basis that you haven't asserted your rights, we now have to look to ordinary contract law. You are entitled to purchase a vehicle which is of satisfactory condition and which remains that way for a reasonable period of time. Clearly it is in satisfactory. They are blaming you. Has your independent inspection identified the reason for the defect? This will be important because as you have seen BMW are already saying it is down to your driving and you are going to have to produce evidence that it wasn't down to your driving and the you drove it absolutely reasonably and it was simply the condition of the car. Have you been without the car for any period of time. Is it driveable now? If the car was off the road for a substantial amount of time and was still off the road then you would be able to argue that this is a fundamental breach of contract and that you have been deprived of substantially the whole benefit of the contract and therefore you will be entitled to treat the contract as breached by Big Motoring World and insist on cancelling the contract. It may be that you will eventually be obliged to keep the car but have the repairs paid for. Have you had any quotations for the work that needs doing? I asked you questions about the MOT – but you haven't responded.

    • 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.

No witnesses, no expert repot.

 

Other information is only for information regarding the management of the case, not any details regarding the case itself. So for example do you need any special arrangements (e.g. wheelchair access), will there be a lot of paperwork for the judge to read through - basically any other information which would not normally be expected for a small claims hearing.

Opinions given herein are made informally by myself as a lay-person in good faith based on personal experience. For legal advice you must always consult a registered and insured lawyer.

When you speak to her I would say that you require any communication in writing and politly say you are ending the call and that you will await her letter. If you don't want to do that try and record the call, but make sure you advise her you are doing so.

I reckon it probably is - but I would be very non-committal (sp) in what I said over the phone.

Woolwich rang me back this afternoon. Apparantly got crossed wires. They rang me as they thought i had rang them and vice versa. So, still only willing to offer me £360.

 

The guy i spoke to said they will not give me £440 and if i want this amount i will have to pursue my court case.

 

I am now worried as it looks like they are willing to see me in court.:-|

 

What should i do now? Any advice gratefully received.

Oh my goodness! Received a letter today with a court date of the 14th August!

 

I'm really nervous now...........

My guess would be that you'll get your cheque on about 11th or 12th August. I'll be keeping a close eye on you - I'm just a little behind you, I should be getting my court date any day now ;)

MOTB is quite right...you have nothing to be nervous of. However I would highly recommend you spend this time reading up on the legalities so IF your case goes to court you are fully prepared.

 

That said, I think a full settlement cheque is coming your way very very soon.

Hi all,

 

HURRAH!!!

 

Just received a letter from Barclays stating my "claim lacks merit" and enclosed copies of the terms and conditions relating to my Woolwich account. They have also offered me £390 as full and final settlement and without any admission of liability!

 

I am not happy. If i were to accept this i would lose my £50 court costs.

 

Any advice welcome here.

Push for the whole amount after all you will loose out if you dont, you have come this far don't give up, and don't listen to your partner who will say take it take it...

 

If they can offer this amount then they are as good as saying they give up!!

Thanks for the advice Lueeze.

 

I will definatly fight on.

 

Just been reading the Woolwich's terms and conditions for charges on their accounts. It does clearly state "If you have gone overdrawn or breach conditions of account we reserve the right to charge you for any costs incurred in the recovery of your account documents, the cost of the overdrawn balance, reasonable costs and fees paid by us!"

 

So they may think they are right but i don't accept it costs them £30 + each time a d/d is returned to my account!

 

Almost forgot to mention in this letter received today the Barclays say they think my case will fail in court!!!

Hi Lueeze,

 

Thanks once again for the advice.

 

I have also spoken to an admin on the bank penalty charges website where i have the same thread. After a long morning of discussion amongst the admins there, they advised me to courtesy call Barclays tomorrow re: £50 court fee but regardless if i get this or not still go ahead and accept the £390 as this was my original total before incurring court fee. They seem to think if i were to go to court the judge may throw out my case if he knows i have been offered full refund but not accepted this amount. So this is what i am going to do.

 

If anyone reading this is behind me in this process i'd be happy to advise and good luck to you all.

£390 is coming home!!! :smile:

I would say different too. If you were to go to court and win they would have to pay your costs.

 

I have claimed back costs in my win against Lloyds and they didn't bat an eye lid when ask them to include costs in my settlement cheque.
