    • Good evening, My husband and I are looking for some help regarding a faulty car which we have recently purchased from Big Motoring World Enfield. The details are as follows: - Make - Nissan Qashqai 2017 1.2L milage 55,349 miles.  Date purchased -   01/06/2024 Price paid - Deposit £9000, finance £4794 (this includes the 3yr Nissan extended warranty), buyers fee £249.      Total including all fees etc = £ 13794.        Initially, during the test drive, there was no problem with the car at all and this is why my husband bought the car on the day. No problems on the way home from the dealership and up to three days after purchase, the car drove smoothly. However, after day 4, occasionally we would feel a slight shudder during some gear changes (automatic car). Over the next few days these shudders worsened and then on day 5 the car would make very a very loud shudder with every single gear change. It was at this point we contacted Big Motoring World for advice as we are still under the 14 days no questions asked return.  My husband contacted BMW for advice on 06/06/2024 and stated the problems as above. He spoke to a sales person who informed him that he should only take the car to a Nissan dealership (we have now been told that this is false information). We were also promised that a courtesy car would be provided for us after the fault on the car had been identified and confirmed by their mechanic fixing the car. We took the car to the garage that Big Motoring World had told us to go. Upon arrival there we discovered it was a third-party garage, not Nissan. We took the car to the garage on day 9. The mechanic ran a diagnostic test which found no faults, but after the test drove the car and below are his findings...   we scan the car but no faults with the gearbox showing but when I test drove the car it was really juddering and jumping.I spoke to my auto transmission specialist and he said they are very common on these as the CVT belt starts jumping within the box due to pressure loss.  We had this vehicle in for diagnostics for gearbox mate but both the gearbox and battery are faulty.Gearbox supplied and fitted comes to £3500 plus vat   Where we are at now…. My husband spent all of day 10 (11/06/2024) making phone calls between the garage, Warranties2000 and Big Motoring World. He tried, unsuccessfully to find out if the diagnostic reports had been shared between all three. Everyone kept saying the report hadn’t been received and yet the garage assured us it had been sent. Eventually we were told that the courtesy car would be given to us if it was deemed the works to fix the car would take longer than 8 working hours, and that decision would be made after 48hours of receiving the report. Today is day 11 and no decision has been made as nobody is telling us any decisions as people are off sick or on holiday! Today we called the garage and told the mechanic NOT to start any work as we will be returning the car. He said none have been started and we have left the car in his storage as he has deemed the car undrivable. I have sent an email to BMW now formally stating that we want to return the car and I have used the terminology that was suggested.   What can we do next?   Thank you everyone. .  
    • Yes will do thanks Dave, I wonder what will happen at the preliminary hearing no idea what they will ask I assumed once I sent the proof they asked for about my sons condition that I would have just  been given the go ahead to be Litigation friend
    • First the judge will rule on you representing your son, which will be a doddle. After that the full hearing date will be fixed, with WSs exchanged 14 days before. So for the moment just concentrate on getting the right to represent your son.  
    • Thank you, the mediations in a couple of days so hopefully they show up this time. I'll update this thread after how it goes

    • 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.

Ah, I checked my email as soon as I'd posted this, and have received one from Wonga saying my offer is acceptable :-D

They've said I can reply by email if preferred, and to tell them when I can start making payments. I'll ask if I can set up a standing order. Their bank details are on here, shall I send them and ask them to confirm they are correct? Or will they wonder where I got them? If that makes sense..

 

This is a huge relief as this is the biggest debt. I don't feel quite so downhearted now.

debit help line is a good website and it gives u the chance to help out of debit

If you wanted to have the chance to explain to other provider that you have the problems with your problems.

I also stop using these "loan sharks". I used Banks only to have a loan like sainsburys bank, Halifax, Barclays, Royal Bank of Scotland (Natwest), Lloyds tsb, etc all these are very regulatied

 

Dear Iaintw,

 

Thanks for getting in touch and setting up a repayment plan.

 

You can view the details of your arrangement at anytime by logging in to your account - https://www.wonga.com/Login.aspx - and clicking on 'Repayment arrangement.' Don't worry if you've forgotten your password as you can request a reset at the login page.

 

We will freeze the balance as long as payments are made in full on the dates agreed. To avoid any hiccups, you should also check the card details in your account are correct, or add a different card and make that the primary one. Please remember that even though we have agreed a repayment plan you can still pay some or all of the outstanding balance at any time on or before the new agreed payment is due by visiting the My Account section of http://www.wonga.com and choose the Repay My Loan option. You can also select or add an alternative card there.

 

Thanks again for working with us.

 

Kind regards,

I found them :-)

I have asked Wonga for their bank details earlier, but if I don't get a reply or they ask for my card details, I'll copy and paste their details and ask them to confirm that they are correct.

 

Still nothing from PDE or Textloan. Textloan due tomorrow so may get a response then. If not I'll use their chat function. Do Payday Express have a chat function on their site? Or is that Payday UK I'm thinking of? I'm using my mobile at the moment so can't check

This is great :clap2: soz thinking it is Payday UK with the online chat, to be honest just wait for Payday Express to call you though you can still badger them thats what I did!! they, will, eventually accept your amount, someone here knows they do agree to £10 pm.....! they were one of my fairer ones as it turned out and worth the wait!

I'm trying to stick to the 'everything in writing' rule. I received calls from a withheld number the day the loan was due, which I assume was them, but I have this thing on my phone that automatically blocks withheld numbers, due to me receiving nuisance calls earlier in the year. I'd rather leave some sort of papertrial.

 

they, will, eventually accept your amount, someone here knows they do agree to £10 pm.....!

I'm offering £25, if they agree to £10 they should be happy to accept my offer!

 

Does anyone know any email addresses I can use to contact PDE? The one I'm using is proving pointless

Yeah well I have a papertail too and more for PDE - letters and emails I sent of plus a letter received from them without having to ask cause like I say I found them one of the most responsive when it come to asking for a plan set up - in the end I had no option but to answer their call (I figured I wasn't going to hear any other way and safe in the knowledge you can also put a telephone down/hang up)

 

Sorry to say but I never communiated with them via email - they quote 'data protection'

 

At the moment their not my worry and I only replied in question to advise they don't have live chat nor any social interaction pages at present.

Okay, I was simply stating that all the advice I've received to date, both on this website and elsewhere has recommend that communication remain in a written format. Thus, it is not essential, just preferred :)

 

After reading the threads here dedicated to PDE, it would appear the majority struggle to get a response via email. Which phone number did you use asmile? I have one off their website but the one they text me is completely different. If I don't get anywhere I can always record the conversation and ask for written confirmation of the repayment plan before setting up the standing order.

I didn't have to phone to get the plan arranged - they phoned me after I kept emailing

I did make the mistake of once calling early on when I was suprised I didn't get a reply (except their generated trash) but obviously they didn't want to know the lady rep just repeated pretty much word for word what I'd seen on here to which is why I'd definately say let them do the phoning

 

Really funny they were almost quite pleased we wouldn't have to speak again for 6 months ! lol!

before I know I had a letter confirming everything - though this was sent from someone else at the company

 

Bizzarre?

Oh I see! Apologies! If they phone I'll answer, but as I say, I think it's withheld, so not sure if/when it's them??

 

Update/Summary:

Wonga accepted, just want written confirmation they'll freeze interest charges.

 

PDE due 2 days ago; sent plan, received one automated email saying it was overdue and many texts. Resent plan, received text saying they'd not had contact from me. Emailed them proof/copies of the 2 original emails and outlined plan a third time.

 

Txt Loan due tomorrow. Plan sent. One automated reply saying they'd got my email and will respond ASAP.

 

Speed Credit due Sunday, plan sent but nothing received.

Hey guys, opinions on this?

 

I offered Txtloan £28.75 a month, meaning the balance would be paid off in 4 months if they freeze interest. Got this in response:

 

We are willing to modify your repayment details and agree that you can pay back the outstanding balance as follows:

 

REPAYMENT PLAN:

Date: 2011-11-30 | Amount £35.00

Date: 2011-12-30 | Amount £35.00

Date: 2012-01-30 | Amount £35.00

Date: 2012-02-29 | Amount £35.00

Date: 2012-03-30 | Amount £35.00

Date: 2012-04-30 | Amount £43.00

 

Total Sum: £218.00

 

We are not able to freeze intrest as the pay back time is too long. We might consider freezing intrest if you agree to pay back early next week, latest 22nd November. Please let us know ASAP of your choice.

_____

For starters I can't pay anything til 5th December. And I don't understand why they can't freeze interest/charges??

Update from Txtloan, they've agreed to £28.75 a month but will not budge on the interest, so it'd be £103 more than my current outstanding balance. Any suggestions as to what to say to get them to freeze interest and charges?

 

Speedcredit expires today, not a peep. Can only assume they are closed Sundays.

Nothing back from Wonga regarding accepting payment by standing order.

Still nothing from PDE.

There was an article in The Metro todaymainly talking about quickquid and wonga. It said that they charged interest for 60 days following default and a one off charge for missed payment.I am not saying this is accurate , certainly not what I found. Guess its the PDL companys PR dept going into overdrive

So after numerous texts and emails already today, it turns out Speed Credit are Toothfairy Finance. And they're already getting nasty! All the progress and happiness I felt dealing with Wonga has just gone straight out the window. The other companies won't budge, and although their threats are only words I feel worse than ever :-(

 

Seen as I'm not getting anywhere with emailing Speed Credit customer services, do you reckon I should try contacting Toothfairy instead?

I also think it's makes a hugh difference on when you tell the companies you can't make the due payment. If it's pre-default you can maybe make an issue of itI found the ones who froze balances and interest imediately were the ones that asked for and received income and expenditure details - you can tell a ruthless company by this alone, those who don't ask for it will attempt to continue to make profit however they can.Will you be in charge of payments to txt loans Chaos?

Any chance you can get to the CAB - they won't be easily dealt with, Please don't get down but you need professional advice and help NOW xI imagine they may pass to NDR - Nothern Debt Recovery

asmile, I've already received an email from NDR. Sent a reply to them, Speed credit and Toothfairy finance but not heard anything back.

 

Nothing from Payday Express.

 

Wonga have agreed to my repayment plan, but when I emailed asking to confirm their bank details and to provide written confirmation they will freeze interest, I got no response.

 

Asked TxtLoan again to freeze interest. Got this back;

"We have frozen your intrest at 218£. As stated in my previous email we can consider taking off any additional charges if you pay back 117£ latest 22nd of November.

To clarify all the sums and any additional questions you might have, I have attached your Agreement, which you agreed to when you took out your loan."

If I could pay £117 tomorrow then that's my loan repaid! How on earth have they slapped on £103 when it's one day overdue?! The file she's attached won't open on my phone or laptop.

I've been given a ticket number, so all these replies are from the same person. Shall I persevere or get a new ticket number to see if I can get through to someone else?

stick with the same ticket number. no point starting again. ask them to refer your case to their collections team. thats what I did and things took a turn for the better. It can be demoralising, but stick with it. The longer they play email ping pong, the longer they wait to get their money and you have shown a willingness to repay. Also ask for a breakdown of the figure they have given you and challenge it back.

At Iaintw - I hope you mean National Debtline :?:

NOT Debt Line the fee charging debt management company!!

 

Chaos, if you can try someone else it may be worth a go again at Txt Loan - can you see if they have a trade association? might be displayed on their website, you could also try making a formal complaint

their in the wrong if you contacted them before defaulting as 247 Moneybox (same address I believe!?) expressed great delight in telling me if I contacted them before guess what the charges would never have applied...so on this basis..... !!! if you get me

 

Payday Express - I found took just over a week to be sorted

Though I did have a lot of loans (v embarrassed now) am remembering the conversation :redface: I won't bite the hand that is helping me at the mo plan to keep on with the low repayment amt till the 6 month review then I guess back to square one

 

Could be Wonga will confirm in a letter but they are being daft !!

Your doing the right thing in quering this now (the freezing of interest) as has the potencial to cause trouble later on

I got this back after questioning their charges:

Your loan amount was 100£ which you borrowed for 15 days and agreed to pay back 117£ on your due date, which was 3 days ago. There are no additional interests added to this sum, only what you agreed to pay back per Agreement. If you pay it by tomorrow, we are considering removing additional charges and the total amount would be 117£. If not, you are expected to pay back 218£, making partial payments each month.

 

I don't want to turn around and say I know first hand by reading this forum they can freeze interest if they want to, but I don't see how it's one story for one person and a different story for others?! I'd love to know, but so far they've been relatively okay, I wouldn't want things to get nasty.
