    • Also I see that you are doing a lot of this on the telephone – and without any written confirmation. This is a big mistake. You need to start taking this matter seriously and so everything should go in writing. If you have telephone calls then they should normally be recorded. Read our customer services guide. You should make notes about every telephone call and then you should send an email to your telephone correspondence confirming what they have said or what they have agreed. It is important that you keep detailed paper trails here. Of course we may be jumping the gun and maybe big motoring world will step up to the mark – but I'm afraid that they have a lousy reputation has you have seen and so you need to start practising survival techniques and protecting yourself. You say for instance in your letter of rejection that the mechanic told you on the telephone that the gearbox needed replacing. Do you have any other evidence of this conversation? This is going to sound a bit harsh – but other people will be visiting this thread as well for their own purposes. You conducted their research about this company before you bought the vehicle. You now are fully aware that this is a company which can be very difficult to deal with and causes a lot of problems for many of their customers and yet you are still taking a telephone/verbal approach. Do I need to say any more? Also one of the documents you put up is an email exchange but it is not clear who is writing to who or what dates. If you showed this email to somebody in a pub they would be asking lots of questions about who sent the first message, who sent the second message, what dates were they sent et cetera. Please think about this before you post things. Please can you clarify the details of that email exchange. Please will you present the information carefully.

    • 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.

Am I right in thinking a debt cannot be passed onto a DCA if the agreement with the OC hasn't been terminated?

 

Vanquis sent me a slightly questionable DN but never terminated the agreement. They just passed my details onto a debt collection company (1st Credit, who then got another dept within themselves, Connaught Collections, involved).

 

So far, the 3 different sets of people dealing with me have got so much wrong regarding the debt they are making things impossible!

 

If the agreement hasn't been terminated, does that mean that once I pay off the balance, it will be done then? Has anyone got any advice please?

 

Cheers!

Banks etc very often use DCA's to try and collect monies owed to them.

The agreement doesn't have to be terminated for this to happen.

If the DCA buy the debt then yes it would have to have been terminated.

I have no legal training, any knowledge I have has come from this forum, and my own experiences. Always balance up any advice you get with your own common sense.

Vanquis is a credit card company, not a bank. I heard from 1st Credit whilst I was still disputing the amount I owed Vanquis. 1st Credit's letter stated that they had been advised that the sum mentioned remained unpaid and their client had therefore instructed them to take appropriate action to recover the debt. On my next Vanquis statement, there is a little printed bit which tells me my details have been passed onto 1st Credit and to contact them.

 

When I speak to 1st Credit, they refer me to Connaught Collections. Vanquis does not know that this part of 1st Credit is dealing with my account.

 

I have had no official NOA that I am aware of. Just the letters from 1st Credit and Connaught and statements from Vanquis. It has left me utterly confused!

It can be considered terminated if they have passed it onto a DCA and they are demanding the full balance and not just any arrears.

 

Did you get a default notice? If so, can you post it up and remove personal details, but leave dates intact? Often Default Notices are improperly served, and give you something to fight back at them with.

These are video links to show how I deal with Debt Collectors.

So....if you received a DN (or 2 as in my case and both are dodgy) and then its sold onto a DCA (who provided a dodgy NOA which they obviously printed themselves), and the DCA quote the full amount as being outstanding, does that mean its been terminated by the original cc company and UR could be claimed at some point in the future (if I can't get them with the equally dodgy (reconstructed) CCA they have provided)?

I'm sick of this debt and want it gone. My boyfriend will lend me the money to pay it off if that's the route to go down. I am just fed up with all this incorrect info going round and no contact. They'd soon reply if I stopped paying altogether, wouldn't they?!

 

As they never recorded a default on my cr I'd just like them gone so they can't screw me over later down the line.

Hopefully some-one will correct me if I am wrong:

 

29th Ocober 2009 was a Thursday. If the default notice was sent 1st class then it would be deemed to be delivered Monday 2nd November.

 

The date they gave to remedy the default was 8th November 2009 - a Sunday! Effectively they gave you 4 days (2 if they used 2nd class) to remedy the default. Having terminated the acccount (they demanded the balance) after sending an invalid default notice leaves you in a strong position.

 

One thing they are unlikely to do is remove the default - they will say that it happened.

 

Nothing that you do now will significantly improve your credit rating.

 

I don't think that they are entitled to more than the arrears on the DN.

 

You will need more advice than I can provide about how to proceed from here.

 

Whatever you do, don't talk to them on the phone, don't write to them until you have more advice, don't rush into anything and don't do anything without understanding what you are doing

It's 20th October 2009 on the cover letter. It therefore gave me 18 days to remedy. NO default was reported on my credit file, though. They have not affected my credit rating, thank God, and I want to prevent it from happening by paying it off asap.

 

I've been paying them all the time, just not as much as they wanted (long story). I don't want 'partially settled' on my credit report, I want it to say 'settled' and do this before Vanquis decide to plonk a default on my report (which I understand would be unlawful now, if off of the DN in October anyway as it's been over 6 months since it was issued).

 

I don't usually talk to DCAs or anyone (I'm a bit phone phobic anyway lol) but had to call 1st Credit recently (who were extremely helpful) and it was from them that I realised Vanquis were processing or passing on incorrect data.

 

They've already had more than the arrears off me, I do not wish to fight them for arrears or anything, I just wanted to know what will happen when I pay this off - would they close the account or would I have to, which I guess has been answered in that it has already been terminated.

 

Any ideas what I should do about the amount I owe? As I cannot pay this off when no-one agrees on the amount left outstanding! I cannot wait to be shod of Vanquis, who I thought had been pretty good until I realised how long they'd been processing incorrect info on my debt for!

If it was delivered 2nd class they you would have received it on 26th, still not enough time

If 1st class then you would have to look at the wording - it doesn't look quite right to me - you need an expert on DNs - also search the forums - there are specific phrases that must be exactly right in word, punctuation & appearance
