    • 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 Guys,

 

Delving into my credit rating seems to have brought up quite a few issue's I never knew of.

 

Mackenzie Hall have registered a default notice against my credit file.

 

This relates to an old debt that was registered to my mothers address, she had told me people kept phoning and asking for me saying I owed money however I believed it to be the other Creditors I was speaking to.

 

I have now found out that they had called so much and told my mother numerous lies about court action and fines that she actually paid the debt!! Then to top it off I have checked my credit file to find they have registered a default against me without a letter or word of warning.

 

I am at a loss to know where I stand on this. Obviously the debt has been paid but the principle of getting an elderly woman to pay it and also to register a default after said payment just stinks.

 

Any idea's folks?

this is why you should never ever talk onthe phone to a dca

 

get your mum to do a chargeback immediately

as for the default

i would suspect they've not done

but its an old one, that now has their name against it?

 

is the debt owner now listed as the DCA on the cra file?

please don't hit Quote...just type we know what we said earlier..

DCA's view debtors as suckers, marks and mugs

NO DCA has ANY legal powers whatsoever on ANY debt no matter what it's Type

and they

are NOT and can NEVER  be BAILIFFS. even if a debt has been to court..

If everyone stopped blindly paying DCA's Tomorrow, their industry would collapse overnight...

Thanks for your reply. This all happened over 4 months ago so it is over the 120 day charge back limit. I have

never spoke to the DCA on the phone, they called my house phone where the debt was originally registered. Since

I work away for anything up to 6 months at a time I have never had any telephone contact with the DCA.

 

The debt owner is now listed as the DCA on my credit file. It is also marked as satisfied.

 

Not sure there is much I can do? As a CCA is only valid whilst the debt is outstanding?
