    • 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.

DO NOTHING - its the old delivery [problem] they were doing with another company, you ring the number and they ask you for your phone numbers and to confirm your details - you then get a letter delivered saying 'got yah' and a lot of nasty phone calls - I think the old company were First Logistics or Direct Logistics? I will have to look it up in the other thread. Major alert - a new [problem]!

I received two one before and one after they started action.

 

Is that what i have to look forward to then , realistically. Still cant fathom any method in the madness, if any.

 

So question i guess now is CCA sent to HFO, no reply. SAR sent to OC, no reply ( but they may have a few days left on SAR). What should be my nexts steps. What are the implications of not fulfilling their CCA and SAR obligations and what are the implications if I do nothing and dont "bring them up" on their failure?

 

cheers

So I presume they have not started any legal action yet.

I would chase Citi Re SAR.

 

Keep half expecting to come home to court papers...no way to live lol.

 

 

thanks, will chase SAR tomorrow. Can i force them to supply? I guess if I ve sent the SAR form with £10 PO ( which I have) then the answer is yes

Have you sent an 'account in dispute' letter to HFO following non receipt of the credit agreement? You need to do this. Link is

sorry for some reason that link doesnt work exactly so had a search about....

 

do you mean....

 

 

Dear Sirs,

 

Account no xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

 

 

Re: my request under the Consumer Credit Act 1974

 

This account is in dispute .

 

On xx/xx/2009 I wrote to xxxxxxxxx requesting that xxxxxxx supply me a true copy of the executed credit agreement for this account, you had until NN/NN/NNNN to comply with this request.

You have failed to respond to this request in any way and as such I now put this account into dispute.

 

 

Should you continue to pursue me for this debt you will be in breach of the OFT guidelines, I draw your attention to the Office of Fair Trading’s guidance on debt collectionlink3.gif

The OFT guidance which was issued July 2003 (updated December 2006) relating to debt collections and what the OFT considers unfair, I refer to page 5 of the guidance which states;

 

2.6 Examples of unfair practices are as follows:

 

h. Ignoring and/or disregarding claims that debts have been settled or are disputed and continuing to make unjustified demands for payment.

 

I require you to produce a compliant copy of my credit agreement to confirm I am liable to you or any organisation, which you represent for this alleged debt. I now reqire you to confirm that you actually hold a copy of the original signed agreement. If you do not hold an agreement, then I require you to confirm this, or if you do hold the original signed Agreement then I would ask for you to advise me in what form.

 

I would remind you that the OFT state that creditors should not imply or state that an enforceable agreement exists if that is not the case. Should you ignore this request I will report you to the Office of Fair Trading to consider your suitability to hold a credit licence in addition to a complaint to Trading Standards.

 

I respectfully request a response to this letter in 14 days

 

Just print your namelink3.gif do not use your signature

 

 

 

if there is a better one please let me know ! thanks!:-)

This one is better:

 

ACCOUNT IN DISPUTE

 

Date:

 

Ref:

 

Dear Sir/Madam

 

You have failed to respond to my legal request to supply me a true copy of the original Consumer Credit Agreement for the above account.

 

On **DATE** I made a formal request for a true signed agreement for the alleged account under consumer credit Act 1974 s77/8. This was signed for as delivered on the **DATE**

You have failed to comply with my request, and as such the account entered default on **DATE** (12+2 days after you made the initial request).

 

The document that you are obliged to send me is a true copy of the executed agreement that contained all of the prescribed terms, all other required terms and statutory notices and was signed by both your company and myself as defined in section 61(1) of CCA 74 and subsequent Statutory Instruments. If the executed agreement contained any reference to any other document, you are also obliged to send me a copy of that document. In addition a full statement of this account should have been sent to me detailing all debits and credits to the account.

 

Furthermore, you are aware that the Consumer Credit Act allows 12 working days for a request for a true copy of a credit agreement to be carried out before you/your client enters into a default situation.

 

This limit has expired.

 

As you are no doubt aware section 78(6) states:

 

If the creditor fails to comply with Subsection (1)

 

(a) He is not entitled , while the default continues, to enforce the agreement.

 

Therefore this account has become unenforceable at law.

 

As you have failed to comply with a lawful request for a true, signed copy of the said agreement and other relevant documents mentioned in it, Failed to send a full statement of the account and Failed to provide any of the documentation requested. You will also be aware of the CPUTR 2008 and the OFT's guidelines on debt collection which state under the title Deceptive and/or unfair methods - Examples of unfair practices are as follows - 2.8

 

(i) - 'Failing to investigate and/or provide details as appropriate, when a debt is queried or disputed, possibly resulting in debtors being wrongly pursued'

 

(k) - 'Not ceasing collection activity whilst investigating a reasonable queried or disputed debt'

 

Consequentially any legal action you pursue will be averred as both UNLAWFUL and VEXATIOUS.

 

Furthermore I shall counterclaim that any such action constitutes unlawful harassment.

 

Please note you may also consider this letter as a statutory notice under section 10 of the Data Protection Act to cease processing any data in relation to this account with immediate effect.

 

This means you must remove all information regarding this account from your own internal records and from my records with any credit reference agencies.

Should you refuse to comply, you must within 21 days provide me with a detailed breakdown of your reasoning behind continuing to process my data.

 

It is not sufficient to simply state that you have a ‘legal right’; You must outline your reasoning in this matter and state upon which legislation this reasoning depends.

 

Should you not respond within 21 days I expect that this means you agree to remove all such data.

 

Furthermore you should be aware that a creditor is not permitted to take ANY

Action against an account whilst it remains in dispute.

 

The lack of a credit agreement is a very clear dispute and as such the following applies.

 

* You may not demand any payment on the account, nor am I obliged to offer any payment to you.

* You may not add further interest or any charges to the account.

* You may not pass the account to a third party.

* You may not register any information in respect of the account with any credit reference agency.

* You may not issue a default notice related to the account.

 

I reserve the right to report your actions to any such regulatory authorities as I see fit.

You have 21 days from receiving this letter to contact me with your intentions to resolve this matter which is now a formal complaint.

 

I would appreciate your due diligence in this matter.

 

I look forward to hearing from you in writing.

 

Yours faithfully

Please support CAG and they will support you.

Find a dodgy private mailing company to deliver it - no, send 'recorded delivery' :-)

 

I have set up a thread on 'Debt Collection Forum' to warn people of the possible delivery [problem]. If you could scan the card, with your details removed that would be very useful.

Report HFO to Trading Standards for this, it is a blatant breach of your rights, what self-respecting delivery company would actually POST a delivery letter second class post?

 

It is a sly way to get them to say you have accepted the debt and are now subject to a Statutory Demand for the payment in full otherwise bankruptcy will follow.

 

I've just been talking to a friend offsite about this, they moved a couple of weeks ago and have found four of these 'cards' since in their post, two addressed to 'The PRESENT Occupier'....

Can you give us more details of what exactly is printed on the card? Is there a "Limited" company name? I can’t track Silver Point Deliveries – the only company with a similar name is dissolved.

 

Also, does the reference number on the card match the number HFO use on your correspondence?

 

Could you edit your details out and scan it for us to see? Definitely time for more complaints for misleading communications. W*nkers.

As an aside can someone check these dates please from the segment of above letter??

 

 

"

 

 

On 28th of August 2010 I made a formal request for a true signed agreement for the alleged account under consumer credit Act 1974 s77/8. This was signed for as delivered on the 1st of September 2010

You have failed to comply with my request, and as such the account entered default on 11th of September 2010).

Is the 11th correct, the letter was posted on 28th but only signed for on 1st

No - 17th Sept is closer as it is 12 working days - put either 17th or 20th (the monday) as this will cover it.
