    • 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 all

 

I hope someone can help. I had my house repossessed in March 2006 and had a personal loan secured against the property. Once the house was reposssesed and sold (which upset me greatly, I was in hospital at the time) I thought, well at least I don't owe anything now even though I have no house.

 

Anyhow, one month after, on April 11th 2006 I received a letter stating "I refer to your request for a redemption statement" and subsequently recieved a demand for over £30,000 pounds.

 

I can vaguely recall Paragon calling me asking for money and I guess I must have requested a redemption statement as I was under the impression that everything was settled.

 

My concern is that, they have now (January 2012) sent a letter asking stating "upon receipt of this letter it is essential that you contact us". No mention of money, or court or anything.

 

I had presumed that this was over with as the debt was first defaulted in October 2005 and the notification to vacate my house was given in 2005.

 

By speaking to them in April 2006 have I acknowledged the debt? Where do I stand, should I write a Statute Barred letter stating that I DO NOT ACKNOWLEDGE THIS DEBT or some other course of action.

 

I'm worried sick as to what I shoudl do now.

 

Thanks In advance of your help.

Was this for a mortgage - or classed as a mortgage?

 

If it was i am afraid they have 12 years and not the normal 6 before it becomes stat barred.

 

However it was a straight personal loan - secured as a charge - i believe it is still 6 but need to check.

 

May be best to just ignore and see what their next move, if any, is.

I don't see that merely asking for a redemption statement acknowledges the loan in any way.

Is a secured loan classed as a mortgage? This loan wasn't the main mortgage just a loan secured against the equity in the property. I think the mortgage company sold the house for as little as they needed to too without looking for the market value which would have coveerd Paragon's debt (which incidentally was £12,000 not £30k)

 

Thanks

After looking into it, it would appear that a secured loan has a period of 12 years under the limitations act - but hope to be corrected on this point.

 

Think it would be best just to sit tight for now and see what they do next, they may just go away.

 

Did you have any insurances etc. on the original loan?

When was the orignal loan taken out?

Ok thanks, I feel completely sick now, it would appear that it is 12 years after looking into it. What can they do now that they've made contact again?

 

Don't worry about it - all they have done so far is send you one letter - it may be followed by others - but at the moment just ignore and see where it goes - they may simply give it up and go away.

 

You are a long way from needing to have any concerns yet.

 

Lets take it one step at a time.There is nothing to worry about.

I might be wrong but I don't think the can legally hace sold your house for less the 75-85% of market value. I remember seeing an advert somewhere stating something along the lines of "Did the bank sell your house for less than it's market value? If so call us now on xyz"

 

If I am right you could go get some cash out of them, fingers crossed. Then clear the other debt with a full & final offer.

 

Thanks
