    • 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

 

 

I am being chased by Moorcroft for an overdraft and they are the 4th DCA to chase. It is an overdraft and I did CCA Lloyds one was never produced. When I wrote to the other DCA's they sent the account back to Lloyds and even BLS wrote to me and I stll wrote back account in dispute - the last DCA was 1st credit and now moorcroft.

 

I have scanned in their letter and can Lloyds take you to court for an overdraft thats made up of their charges? I have SAR's them and at present going through the info.

 

Any advice gratefully recived.

Overdrafts are at the behest of the bank - they can give them and withdraw them at will - and there is no agreement but you are still entitled to have a copy the letter stating the overdraft limit and interest rate. It seems strange that it has gone to 4 DCAs and there has been no court action. You could place it in dispute of the basis of it being made up of charges. You could also ask Moorcroft if they have bought this alleged debt. It may be that Lloyds have sold it and it is being passed on from DCA to DCA.

Thanks Pinky

 

From the reams of paper work recived with the subject of access there is no letter about overdraft with interest rates etc and most definetly no default notice - nothing.

 

All I had was reams of statements and some other stuff with codes etc. Is there a dispute letter somewhere on here to send to them?

Overdrafts are covered by the consumer credit act, just differently. Lots of stuff doesn't apply.

 

That's a misleading statement by Moorcroft.

 

Although they might be entitled to ask for the money back etc, there are processes that they have to go through and there are consequences for them if they get them wrong

Hi Teed

 

Banks can get exemptions from most of the act if they apply for them, so there are no CCAs etc

 

The reason is that you can get an overdraft by asking for one (an authorised overdraft) or you can get an unauthorised overdraft by your account going overdrawn (and the bank changing lots for it - that is where they make lots of their money)

 

Regulations change slightly over the years, but you should have received a letter within x months of first using you overdraft telling you the interest rate, might also have to give you t&cs. Can't remeber whether x is 3 or 6

 

To demand the return of money, they should send an enforcement notice or a termination notice. Not sure what the enforcement notice is.

 

LTSB have told me that they don't have to provide copies of enforcement notices as part of a SAR, but I suspect that is really because they don't keep copies! I'm not sure how they would prove what they tried to enforce without an original copy though, plus I'm sure that the Information Commissioner would be interested.

 

I don't know whether LTSB accept telephone requests for an overdraft but there should be some sort of agreement before you got the facility (followed by the rates letter), or at least the interest rates letter after you started using the unauthorised overdraft.

 

There sounds like there might be some scope for disputing the account

n.b. from the letter, it looks as though Moorcroft are keeping hold of this and are waiting for you to contact them with a payment offer.

 

I think that most banks view overdrafts as enforceable debts (because there's no CCA for them to lose) and so don't sell them off because they expect to get most of them paid back.

 

I would suggest looking at all charges that LTSB have applied to the account and calculating interest that would have been added because of the charges and subtracting that total from anything that you finally pay to LTSB. If you make it clear to them what you are withholding & why, they would have to sue you for the charges & show the reasonableness of them.

Thanks for your reponse 2Grumpy. I have sent moorclots a bemused letter. As my train of thought is going down these lines - Lloyds have sent this account to 4 DCA's and 3 times it was passed back to OC. So am thinking that to put this in court they would have to supply some sort of evidence that I agreed to the overdraft and to supply termination notices and what else is needed and they haven't got them.

Hi teed_off:)

 

Subbing with interest as I'm in a very similar position with Lloyds - outstanding o/d entirely made up of charges, third DCA on the case also Moorcroft.

 

Wishing you well with this,

Hi Landy

 

Thanks for you response. Have done anything about it though? My bemused letter went off yesterday RD.

 

Have you Sent for a Subject of Access from Lloyds?

Hi teed_off:)

 

I did a SAR last year and put in a claim for the charges which they of course declined to repay. Since the Test Case result they have upped the ante with sending out threat-o-grams and I always seem to be firing off something to the latest DCA :(

 

There was nothing in the SAR that I could find relating to the original setting up of the agreed o/d - although there was half a forest mind you and I could have missed something!

 

Don't really know where to go from here - I guess that if they were to put in a claim for the o/d the obvious thing to do is counterclaim for the charges.............

 

Good Luck with yours!
