    • 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.

Good morning busby

Wow!!! thas what I call fast you have no idea how much I envy people who can write letters like this so quickly (this would have taken me days to comply). I am so glad your on our side and not Debt Collectors side.

I have tried to adapt it, busby any chance you could have a read over and let me have your comments or anyones comment for that matter all feel free to participate, the more the merrier.

In response to your letter dated 12th May 2009.

It is with great disappointment that I read that it is your decision to disregard the information I have provided to you regarding the above account.

I once again re-iterate that I have not had the benefit of receiving a “true signed copy” of the executed CCA regulated agreement, one that neither bears my signature nor indeed any signature. Therefore it does not meet the requirements laid down by the Act, and recommend that you do more than blindly accept the erroneous assertion from Creation Financial Services

Due to Creation Financial Services non-compliance, the debt is still disputed, and should you continue to attempt to harass me, I shall have no hesitation advising the Regulator of your unwillingness to adhere to industry guidelines

I would seriously advise before you attempt to continue your involvement in this matter, I urge you that you may wish to seek that verifiable proof of such an agreement physically exists, as I have been singularly unsuccessful in obtaining this.

 

In the absence of such proof, you should be advised that the account will remain in dispute until the relevant documents are provided, all communications will cease with you until the relevant documentation is provided. Failing this it will leave me no opportunity but to make a formal complaint of harassment against your company.

Yours sincerely

Thanks busby and Idainfife....so you both are saying that this application is enforceable...I did think the date looked sus, at first we thought it was 22-6-09 but I think it is meant to be 22-6-00 when the account was opened and yes it does have my signature on it.

Suppose I need to contact them and make arrangement for payments hopefully they will accept a very small payment as unfortunately at present there is no extra funds in our house.

Hi Ida many thanks for the pointer..

 

I have been paying this debt to Aktiv Kapital but had to miss my payment this month....didn't have enough to go round

 

I will send them this letter tomorrow with a token payment and eat humble pie and see what thier reaction is.

 

Now they know they have the ball at their feet I suppose they shall start laying down the terms.

 

I do notice on this agreement there should have been two pages back to back do you think it would be worth asking them to produce the terms and conditions in full or is that just clutching at straws....

 

many thanks for your help on this matter

 

I do have another CCA to put up but need help to that and my hubby is not a well man so need to wait until daughter comes in.

 

But again its from GE Capital/Store Card so I would assume it shall be enforceable also. cheers for now

Hi everyone I sent this letter (that Ida helped me comply)in reply to creation finance sending me a Blank CCA with terms and condition dated 2004 (I took this account out 2002)Dear Sirs,

Account no xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

 

Re: my request under the Consumer Credit Act 1974

Thank you for your recent letter sent to me, the contents of which are noted. I appreciate your quick response to my original letter. However, the reply received by me does not fulfil your requirements under the Consumer Credit Act 1974.

The Act demands that I be supplied with a true copy of any properly executed credit agreement that exists in relation to the above account. I may ask for this on demand providing that a fee of £1.00 is paid. This fee was sent with my original letter.

My request remains outstanding. An unsigned credit agreement with no personal details on it, like the one you sent in your reply, does not constitute a true copy of any credit agreement that may or may not have been signed by me on the opening of this account. A blank agreement neither confirms that I am liable for any alleged debt to you, nor gives me any chance to evaluate whether any original agreement was ‘properly executed’.

I still require you to send me a true copy of the original credit agreement that you allege exists. As you will know, under the Consumer Credit Act 1974, a judge is not permitted to make any enforcement order unless the creditor can provide a true signed copy of the original credit agreement. This means that unless you can produce such an agreement, this alleged debt is not enforceable in law.

You had until xx/xx.2008 (12+2 working days after the request was made) to provide me with the true copy I requested. You are now in default of my request. Any account I hold with you is now in legal dispute. Whilst the account remains in dispute, you are not permitted to ask for any payment, nor am I obliged to offer any payment to you. Furthermore, whilst the dispute remains, you are not entitled to charge any interest on the account, nor make any further charges to the account. Additionally, you are not entitled to register any information on this account with any credit reference agency.

To register information with a credit reference agency, you must have written consent from the customer to collate and share such information. This consent is given in the form of a signed credit agreement, so until you produce such an agreement, you may not do this.

The requirement for consent to share data is a clear requirement of the Data Protection Act 1998. any such attempts to share my data without my consent will be met with a complaint to the Information Commissioners Office

The time limits, which are laid down in the Consumer Credit (Prescribed Periods for Giving Information) Regulations 1983 are clear. You must supply an executed credit agreement within 12 + 2 working days of a proper CCA request. If you fail to comply with a legitimate request the account enters a default situation.

To sum up, I will not be making any further payments to you until you provide me with the document I have requested. Whilst you remain in default of my request, you are not permitted to take any action against this account. This includes adding further charges and passing any information to the credit reference agencies.

I expect you to write to me confimring that the account has been closed and no further action will be taken.

I look forward to your reply.

Yours faithfully

Today 21st May 2009 I received this letter in reply any ideas what I should do now. (Its getting very scary these peolpe have a way with words that can frighten the hell out of people,

Any comments or suggestions are welcome.

I did it, I did it...I managed to connect a link with the kind help of citzenB

I do have another CCA that I shall get it put onto forum tonight.

 

:D Excellent. I see someone has been advising you on the other thread.

 

Hi

Me back again....sent creation finance a questional agreement letter 24th April recieved reply today(29th April) very quick didn't expect that!! here goes..... I can't post their reply as scanner not working trying so hard to get this fixed. Their letter said that

 

"So that you fully understand the Consumer Credit Act 1974 the regulator deem the enclosed document to be a true copy of the credit agreement entered into by you., so consequently a proper response. If you have any queries about this you can take independent advice from local CA, TSDept. or contact consumer direct.

 

We have no legal obligation to supply a copy of the original agreement. Under the Act a true copy suffices.

 

We acknowledge that whilst we failed to supply a copy of the original agreement we were not entitled to enforce the agreement as set out under section 78 of the act. We have not sought to enforce the agreement, however, interest continues to run and the debt continues to be payable. There is no provision in the act for the debt to be written off and you would still owe us the money claimed.

 

Section 78 requires us to provide within 12 working days a "true copy" of the customers agreement (which is the whole agreement without any indentifying items such as date address and signature) together with a staement signed by us or on behalf showing according to the information to which it is practicable for us to refer:

 

(a) the state of the account

 

(b) the amount, if any, currently payable under the agreement by the customer to us, and

 

© the amounts and the due dates of any payments which, if the customer does not draw further on the account, will later become payable under the agreement by them to us.

 

Should you require any further information please respond in writting to the Data Protection Dept at the address on the top of the letter".

 

ALSO INCLUDED WAS ANOTHER BLANK CONSUMER CREDIT AGREEMENT 1974 PHOTOCOPY.

 

On the terms and Agreements photocopy there is statement which says :

 

Card Protection Plan is a registered trademark of Card Protection Plan ltd. CPP is a registered trademark of CPP group plc reg. 2004.

 

This confuses me as I took this store card out approximatel 2000-2001. How can something be dated 2004 in 2000-2001.

 

Any help would be appreciated REMEMBERING THIS IS IN SCOTLAND AS I BELIEVE SOME LAWS ARE DIFFERENT - HAVN'T A CLUE WHAT THE DIFFERENCE IS.

 

I have brought this forward so people can see where you are at.

 

Are you able to scan in the blank agreement/application form. Lets see what information if any is on it.

 

Almost certainly the page with the "2004" on it definitely isnt from the time you opened the account so that can be discounted.
