    • If a DCA supplies a reconstituted copy of the CCA what would be the next step. It seems that a reconstituted copy must be a " true copy " of the executed agreement, it must contain the Prescribed Terms. But given that there is no copy of the applicants signature surely it could be an agreement form with the details filled in. How can it be assumed that this " copy " represents a true copy that the claimant has supposed to have signed. Cabot have demonstrated a bit of sabre rattling when they say "Until we're able to provide this information , your account is unenforceable. This means we're not permitted to obtain a County Court judgement against you . Whilst we cannot pursue legal action, your balance remains outstanding ". I looked up a case... Cabot UK Ltd  v  Bachellier (2010) which might help, but it's tough reading, I'd prefer to plough through War and Peace. This particular case with Cabot is not huge , approx' £140, but the only other worry that I have is also with Cabot...£2100. They may try to make a point with lesser case.

    • 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.

I've still heard diddly-squat from MINT since I asked them for statements at the end of August.

Peter's optimism was justified, and the statements duly turned up a couple of weeks back. The total was pleasing: £479 including interest. My balance on the card is less than that!

 

Prelim duly sent off on the 5th, which within a week generated a standard "We're sorry you're not satisfied" letter from the boys and girls in Southend-on-Sea. (Don't these credit card companies base themselves in some random places?!). They promised to get back to me within two weeks; not quick enough to prevent my LBA going off yesterday.

 

They've now got until the 2nd of November before they get hit with a writ.

Hi Neily hope it goes well for you.

Hi Mila

 

Sorry for the late reply, not been on for a while.

 

Thanks for your kind wishes.

 

As far as I understand it, the default does not prevent your wife from claiming. In fact, if the default was caused solely by unlawful charges, she would have a case for removal of the default through the courts. There are several threads on here which deal with that - search for "default".

 

Best of luck

Ages since I gave an update, so here goes:

 

18/11/06: received a letter from Mint informing me that they have refunded £424 in charges and £3.36 in interest to my account. They dispute my calculation of interest at £178.91. In fact I had claimed interest imposed by Mint of just £45.16, plus contractual interest of £133.75. They seem not to know what I mean by contractual interest.

 

They say that because of the way charges are paid off before purchases and cash, the bank interest is just £3.36. I accept this - the spreadsheet I used assumed charges would be paid off LAST. A look at the back of my MINT statement shows that they do allocate payments in the way they say. Not all cards are like this, however.

15/01/07: wrote to Mint after a long break, revising my claim in view of the refunds but explaining why I still wanted contractual.

05/02/07: received a sod-off reply from Mint. They have paid the interest, so that's it. Not sure how far to pursue this one - has anyone else put a court claim in with just contractual interest left, after charges and bank interest have been refunded? Have you won?? I'm minded to back-burner this one until I've fried the bigger fish (Halifax etc).
