    • 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.

My partner has lived with me for less then a year. He has received a letter from a DCA at the end last week dated 30 Jan stating that he has 7 days to pay a debt (from 4 years ago) The time was up before he received the letter! It stated if the amount stated (around £600) is not paid in the time frame the will take immediate action and a bailiff will be sent to recover the monies/Item of value.

 

This debts are from years ago, long before we got together!

My partner has lived in my home since June last year.

My partner has not worked for years.

He personally doesn't claim any benefits.

We have no joint bank accounts.

I have lived in my home for 13 years and mortgage is in my name only.

The only "joint" thing we have is a child/working tax credit claim.

Everything in the house belongs to me apart from the clothes my partner brought when he moved in.

I work to support the family.

 

My questions are...

 

Can I be held liable for his debt?

Can the bailiffs enter my home without MY permission? (what if i'm at work, can they get permission from my adult son?)

Can they take my things?

Is there anything I can do to stop them coming to my home? (not just for obvious reasons. I have a autistic son who freaks out around strangers).

How do I stop this affecting my credit?

 

Thanks in advance.

read the letter properly

 

it does not say that..

 

it says might, could, may, if,

anything but WILL

 

its a threat-o-gram

 

DCA's have no legal powers to d onowt to anyone.

 

check her CRA file to see if this debt shows

 

see below

 

do not respond to the them.

 

esp never ever on the phone

 

and do some reading

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...

Further down it says...

 

If a judgment or decree is obtained and remains unsatisfied a bailiff or sheriff officer may be instructed to recover assets to discharge the outstanding debt.

 

Sorry if i'm getting this mixed up, I've never had to deal with anything like this before.

OK to put your mind totally at ease, a debt on a mobile phone contract is a hard thing to collect on, as you pay for a service and don't recieve it, so no DCA is gonna take ANY "action"

 

They're playing on your fears... "what will the neighbours think of a repo man comes and takes my TV..." etc. This simply will not happen.

If in doubt, contact a qualified insured legal professional (or my wife... she knows EVERYTHING)

"THIS DEBT MUST BE PAID ON FULL TO THESE OFFICES WITHIN THE NEXT 7 DAYS OTHERWISE WE WILL TAKE IMMEDIATE ACTION"

 

That "immediate action" can be to just send you another letter, and then another one. At the moment it is just a threat, nothing more.

How far back is the alleged debt to Tmobile? and was this an account set up directly with them or is it an account they took over at some point from another provider?

 

I agree with all the advice given in that you make HMRC a priority...they can be a nightmare to deal with as they do not seem to be able to access various departments on their system...you will probably find you end up with a list of phone numbers passing you from one dept. to the other, but hang in there it will eventually get sorted and the bailiff will be put on hold while it does.

It says

 

"THIS DEBT MUST BE PAID ON FULL TO THESE OFFICES WITHIN THE NEXT 7 DAYS OTHERWISE WE WILL TAKE IMMEDIATE ACTION"

NO!!!!!!!!!!

 

never ever ring a dca or their fake / tame solicitor.

 

i have not left you a question to answer above...

 

...it's a statement..

 

they say they are going to take immediate action...

 

...but it doesn't say WHAT action.

 

that's the cleaver part...it's a play on words....

 

the action could be another threat-o-gram...it does not SPECIFY what action thay are going to take!

 

then cleaverly brings up POSSIBLE court action in the next sentence....get it now?

 

DCA's have NO LEGAL POWERS

 

they ARE NOT bailiffs and NEVER EVER WILL BE!!!

So just to get it clear in my own head as this is being commented on elsewhere also...

 

Am I right in thinking that after 6 years the statute barred thingy comes into play and they are trying to use scare tactics to get us to phone as this would acknowledge the debt and start the process all over again?
