    • and it legally informs them of your correct and current address as you must do with all old debts last paid/used in say 7 yrs you dont want backdoor CCJ's. what were the names of these IVA scammers, the one you took it out with, and the one that scammed you to let them take over please? your story is slightly worrying. dx  
    • Incidentally, congratulations on not buying the warranty. That is another Big Motoring World rip-off. See what we have to say about extended warranties and the Big Motoring World attitude to them is particularly unhelpful
    • well that google is from 2019, but the photos are certainly of someone driving on the public highway in/out by an ANP system, though the site of where the camera actually is, is not showing there are anpr cameras up by the low yellow barriers but they wont get from facing shots from there. interesting, needs to be checked if the road IS a public highway but on private land, cause as you say, if the whole area is max 4hrs , how does the hotel work< ?? must have a reg entry system.  now as for taking pictures of cars on a public highway then guessing the are parking ...erm.... i dont thnk thats right nor allowed under GDPR. dx  
    • Under the consumer rights act 2015, if a defect manifests itself within 30 days and you have a right to return the vehicle for a full refund. If any defect manifests itself within the first six months of ownership then you have a right to return the vehicle for a full refund subject to the retailers right to carry out a repair. If the retailer declines to repair or if the repair fails then you have the right to return. The problem here is that you have to assert their right. It's a bit ridiculous – but you have to do let them know preferably in writing that you are asserting your rights under the consumer rights act either the 30 day right or the six month right. I suppose that you haven't done this – which would be quite understandable because most people don't know that these rights exist and that they are subject to these conditions – the condition that the right must be inserted. It is frankly ridiculous. The dealers know it and we have lots of instances of this company delaying appointments et cetera and our strong suspicion is that they are simply trying to run their customers out of time. On the basis that you haven't asserted your rights, we now have to look to ordinary contract law. You are entitled to purchase a vehicle which is of satisfactory condition and which remains that way for a reasonable period of time. Clearly it is in satisfactory. They are blaming you. Has your independent inspection identified the reason for the defect? This will be important because as you have seen BMW are already saying it is down to your driving and you are going to have to produce evidence that it wasn't down to your driving and the you drove it absolutely reasonably and it was simply the condition of the car. Have you been without the car for any period of time. Is it driveable now? If the car was off the road for a substantial amount of time and was still off the road then you would be able to argue that this is a fundamental breach of contract and that you have been deprived of substantially the whole benefit of the contract and therefore you will be entitled to treat the contract as breached by Big Motoring World and insist on cancelling the contract. It may be that you will eventually be obliged to keep the car but have the repairs paid for. Have you had any quotations for the work that needs doing? I asked you questions about the MOT – but you haven't responded.

    • 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 there

 

I have today received a SD through my door. I was here but no-one knocked the door. The SD is from creditor ME III Ltd as assignee in section C but it states solicitors Mortimer Clarke in section B. The original debt is to Yorkshire Bank for sum of £2,300. I was sometime ago intending to claim back horrendous bank charges - if i remember correctly to the sum of about £3,500 over six years. I didn't continue the claim due to the court case against banks failing. The SD is in my maiden name, I am currently unemployed and am a homeowner with mortgage. I am now left with this SD. What steps do I need to take now? Any help would be greatly appreciated. I have done some reading on here about SAR's and CCA's etc but am unsure of exaclty who i write to and what I say. Many thanks.

P.S. I haven't used the account for over a year now.

Were you aware of the stage this debt had reached in the collection process, eg default notice etc?

Is it a bank current account with an overdraft?

As this is not covered by the CCA 1974 like a credit card or loan.

Firstly keep the envelope...with regard to the stat demand you have 18 days from receipt to file the forms 6.4 (set aside) and 6.5 (affadavit).

 

You can find the forms here -
http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk...emand-set.html

 

Ring your local
county court
link3.gif
to check they handle bankruptcies/insolvencies if they don't they should be able to tell you which court nearest to you does...

 

Once you have filled out the forms take them to the court and ask them to 'swear in' in you affadavit (usually free at a local county court, £5 at a solicitor or £12 at Central London courts).....

 

As usual, they are issuing stat demands on the back of a letter saying 'you owe us this'...you need to substantially dispute the debt, whether it be an abuse of process, non prodution of the agreement within the prescribed timescales, non production of compliant defaults, non production of statements (excessive charges) etc...

 

You might find this thread useful too -
http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk...vice-post.html

 

Others will be along soon to start investigating the grounds for set aside, and what else you can do.

Marshlady,

 

Firstly welcome, I have an overdraft account ( Yorkshire Bank one ) with these bad-boys and again like you I have horrendous charges. Though my charges are only £350.00 to claim back off a £886.00 overdraft bill. On set a sides I believe this can be done on line but wait till the more experienced caggers come a long.( but in reading about these dodgy stat demands anyone can print one off and send out.) Apparantly they have to be served correctly but that a side they are easy to get out of the way. Your priority now is to come to some agreement after getting all the facts from YB.

 

Your first course of action is to SAR Yorkshire Bank like I did, it will cost you £10.00 and they have to send you all they hold on you. Though Yorkshire bank failed to send my correspondence of the dispute with there paperwork.

 

I did not bury my head in the sand on this, I offered a token payment of £1.00 a month on this and they accepted,, I also stated that they would only get £536.00 in total as I disputed the charges. This is a long way down the line as at a £1.00 a month at the moment I don't think I will live long enough to pay it off.

 

Please don't worry, I know it is easier said than done. I am a house owner so I would ensure you take the advice from the boys and girls here and act on it. Have you any other creditors and if so are you paying them off at any rate.

 

Again depending on what value is in your house, even in the remotest possibility that they attempt BR, if you have no equity in your house you will in all possibility end up keeping it. Even if there is you can sell your rights to another party, but this is way way down the line.

 

SO FIRST THING,,, SET A SIDE THE BR CLAIM.

 

SECOND: SAR Yorkshire Bank ( and yes it is Yorkshire Bank you send the request too ) Inform those muppets from ME ll that you dispute this and are writing to YB under a Subject Access Reportl for all details of the account in question. Templates on this site. Once furnished with the information, make a sensible offer to repay, if that is only a token payment of £1.00, so be it. And inform them you will only be paying £xxx.xx that is less charges....

Hello Marshlady, below is a link for the set-aside forms you will need, it costs nothing other than if you ask for a copy of the sworn affadavit, if you google you will also come across a guide on how to fill the forms in:-

http://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&source=web&cd=1&sqi=2&ved=0CDkQFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.insolvency.gov.uk%2Fforms%2Fenglandwalesforms.htm&ei=6UP_Tbz1H8qX8QPPppWqCQ&usg=AFQjCNFmaEJ7Srng9eNHVcAxUMAkmJVkJA

Firstly you need to establish that you owe the debt. So your set a side could be that you know nothing of the debt. Just search this forum for set-a- sides and you will see various defences.

 

But first you need to know what this bill is about and that is your set a side defence. You are awaiting documentation from YB in the respect of the alleged bill. So SAR away to YB

 

What if I sent you a SD for say £4,000, would you just pay it or let yourself go bankrupt.... NO you would want to know what I was talking about...and you would have to ask me to prove it. As yours like mine is a overdraft we can't use the CCA, but we need to know what is made up of illegal charges, we want to know do these muppets legally own this debt and to obtain that you have to SAR Yorkshire Bank and until such time as that information is forthcoming your are in dispute...

 

See Hippy's letter when I requested a SAR... also replied it was none of there business what I was requested and I was not going to fill in any of my details on there childish forms they idea's of grandeur me thinks.

What about receipt and proof that you actually received this Statutory Demand?

 

I thought that they had to have strict evidence that you received a Statutory Demand?

 

Shoving it through a door hardly seems proper procedure!

 

Could you not deny you ever got it?

you could but it would be a dangerous road to go down..as they could get a bankruptcy judgement against you...which you would then have to get set aside...best nip it in the bud now before it goes any further

A statement by the bailiff or solicitors agent stating the date and time the item was posted through

the door is always made and would be produced in court, the agent is signing that as a statement of truth

and denying receipt will cause considerable problems and I have known charges of perjury or contempt

of court arising.

Yes you are correct Brig,, bankruptcy is not like a CCJ, it has implications for your future so all has to be above board.. To be honest and that is my own personal feeling it is bluff and bluff unless they know Marsh has hidden assets what's the point in making her BR. !!!!!!!!! it will cost them an arm and a leg... It is totally MARSH's decision, but if she is a householder with equity in her property then get the set a side in...

 

Me, I pray I get one of these because I will be straight on the blower and ask them for a date and will buy the coffees for there legal eagles down at the courts...... It would save me £600 and wipe my £40k of unsecured debt out, sod the consequences look at all the rich and famous who have been past bankrupts..

Where the serving of SD's are concerned there seems to be two schools of thought.

 

On one hand the the rules state that they should try to serve it personally and if after a certain amount of attempts they are then allowed to use royal mail but must show proof of the attempts to serve it personally at court. This being the case, if they have just posted this through your letter box either by hand or through the post it is unlikely that they have tried to serve you this by hand....usually they try to make an appointment with you either by post or phone if they want to do this. Judges are supposed to take this into account if you state that you never received the SD and therefore were unable to defend or get it set aside.

 

On the other hand, and in my humble opinion it is always better to get them set aside if you can. Most DCA's use this as a form of debt collection without really understanding what they are doing...once you have had a SD set aside they cannot try again for 14months which gives you ample time to SAR the OC and get all the information you need to defend your case or see the DCA off with dispute letters. Judges can be quite good with people representing themselves in these cases although there has been some nightmare scenarios where judges have completely disregarded the law involved and gone down the route of the moral of "you had the money now pay it back" regardless if you have been given proof of the debt, an actionable credit agreement etc.

 

Some judges will allow you costs if you can prove that they are misusing the insolvancy service to aid debt collection but they will only do this if you ask for it and do that with a list of your costs.

 

Its up to the OP what they do whether to set aside the SD or to ignore it completely...the DCA's rarely go for bankruptcy as it costs them upwards of £1000 to do this with no guarentee that they will recoup this and the debt they alledge you owe. However personally, as I said before I would always get it set aside (if you have a valid reason) and that protects you from bankruptcy.

Advice given is my opinion only, I am not a legal or financial expert (far from it).

Agree MONX entirley, it is a shabby form of debt collection practice which sadly we will see a lot more off... Due to present changes proposed by the coalition Government to charging orders, the public becoming more aware of there rights and in all fairness most off the District Judges awarding only what the client can afford for paying back the debt. There grubby little industry is creaking and floundering and as in the middle east the internet is being used to bring down these tin-pot dictating companies with the power of the people.

 

MARSH, sound advice, If you have assets then please set a side, if like me you have jack all then use for hamster bedding.
