    • 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,

 

Although I have my own view on this, would love others comments and thoughts ..

 

A friend (well my hairdressers sister !) has purchased an item from a TV shopping channel - which was on available on easy payments.

 

The easy payments are in essence the total purchase price divided by in this case 3 (1st payment at the point of purchase, follwed by 2 further payments at following 30 day intervals, via a registered debit or credit card), this arrangement is open to both old and new customers, and there are no credit checks or credit agreements required or signed. (apparently they are legally permitted to offer upto 4 easy payments without having to perform any credit checks etc).

 

Anyway to the issue ... she bought an item on the above, paid the first payment, the item is out of the 30 day money back period, and she can't meet the 2nd payment.

 

The provider has sent her a letter stating that as she has missed the 2nd payment, the full amount is now payable immediately, with her account to be referred to an external DCA if she does not pay the amount in question by return.

 

Now, she is happy to come to an arrangement with the DCA for reduced payments over a prolonged period to clear the os amount ... but the first thing that struck me is that there is no CCA in place/regulation under the CCA74 - so how far could this really be pursued ... indeed could they even put a default on her credit record ?

 

Comments, experiences or general chat welcome on this ... :-)

It will just be case of the contract terms under the easy pay arrangement.

 

This will no doubt include having to pay the full amount, using DCA's and noting the persons credit record. Just because the easy payment was not under a consumer credit agreement, with credit records checked, does not mean they can't note the debt on a credit record.

 

Read the t&c's of the easy pay agreement she signed up to and get her to make a complaint if there is scope.

 

If it is the shopping channel I think it is, they won't offer any alternative finance. It is either pay the amount due or it is passed for debt collection. They can obviously go for a CCJ, if she did then not agree a repayment schedule. That is something she would need to discuss with whatever DCA that deals with it.

We could do with some help from you.

Yes, I;ll get hold of the published T&Cs, as they don't provide them with any easy payment arrangement ...

 

I agree on the default an recording of date .. but without a CCA, or signed (neither by hand or electronic means) how could a judgement be awarded ?

Here are the T&Cs I have found re the easy pay option we are discussing ...

 

"On selected products and in conjunction with selected services, xxx offers you the chance to spread payments of a product over the course of two, three or four equal monthly interest-free payments (“Easy Pay”). These offers are often available for a limited period only. When a product is available on Easy Pay, you will be informed of the offer alongside the price information on screen or on the relevant web pages. With Easy Pay you must pay with your debit/credit card and the first instalment will include any delivery charges. You are responsible for paying all instalments and you must inform us if you change your debit/credit card or if your debit/credit card expires or is no longer valid. Any declined Easy Pay payments will result in you losing the right to pay by Easy Pay instalments and all outstanding sums will become due immediately."

Yes perfectly clear that they require all os EPs at once ... or is that your answer to the CCJ question ??

 

 

A

A debt does not need to be covered by The CCA 1974 for a CCJ to

be given, anyone can issue a claim for money owed, in this case

thre are clear Ts & Cs in evidence it would be down to the creditor

to decide what if any action would be taken.

Thanks B.

 

Does anyone else actually have any experience who can comment on this ??

 

Abs

 

I would think that this might be a fairly rare occurrence,

so it would be down to the creditor to decide on action

though I would expect any reasonable offer of payment

to be accepted.

Is this a large amount.?

Not had experience of this. Might be better off adding a post to the folders relating to shopping or retail issues. This issue may have cropped up, where people, have stopped payments because they were unhappy with goods after the 30 day period.

We could do with some help from you.
