    • Hi. Welcome to CAG. How was the car purchased?  
    • Absolutely for the agreement they are referring to.... puts them on notice that this is going to be a uphill fight.   Andy 
    • Particular's of claim for reference only 1. the claim is for the sum of £6163.61due by the defendant under an agreement regulated by the consumer credit act 1974 for hsbc uk bank plc. Account (16 digits) 2. The defendant failed to maintain contractual payments required by the agreement and a default notice was served under s 87(1)  of the consumer credit act 1974 which as not been compiled with. 3. The debt was legally assigned to the Claimant on 23/08/23, notice on which as been given to the defendant.  4. The claim includes statutory interest under S.69 of the county courts act 1984 at a rate of 8% per annum from the date of assignment to the date of issue of these proceedings in the sum of £117.53 the Claimant claims the sum of £6281.14. Suggested defence 1. The Defendant contends the particulars of the claim are generic in nature. The Defendant accordingly sets out its case below and relies on CPR r 16.3 (3) in relation to any particular allegation to which a specific response has not been made. 2. The claimant has not complied with paragraph 3 of the PAPDC (Pre action protocol) failed to serve a letter of claim pre claim pursuant to PAPDC changes of the 1st of October 2017. It is respectfully requested that the court take this into consideration pursuant 7.1 PAPDC. 3. Paragraph 1 is noted. I have in the past had financial dealings but do not recognise this specific account number or recollect any outstanding debt and have therefore requested clarification. 4. Paragraph 2 is denied. I have not been served with a default notice pursuant to the consumer credit act 1974. 5. Paragraph 3 is denied. i am unaware of any legal assignment or notice of assignment. A copy of assignment was sent by Overdales solicitors when acknowledgement of receipt of CPR request was received, but this was not the original.   6. Paragraph 4 is denied. Neither the original creditor or the assignee have served notice pursuant to sec86c of the Credit Consumer Act 1974 Notice of Sums in Arrears and therefore prevented from charging interest on debt regulated by the CCA1974. 7. The defendant submitted a request for a copy of the alleged agreement pursuant to s78 CCA 1974. The claimant has acknowledged receipt of request but has failed to comply. The claimant has failed to provide any evidence of balance or Default Notice requested by CPR 31.14 8. It is therefore denied with regards to defendant owing any monies to the claimant. therefore the claimant is put to strict proof to:  a.  Show how the defendant has entered into an agreement with HSBC. b.  Show and evidence the nature of breach and service of a Default notice pursuant to section 87 (1) CCA 1974. c.  Show and quantify how the defendant has reached the amount claimed for. d.  Show how the claimant has the legal right, either under statute or equity  to issue a claim. 8.  As per civil procedure rule 16.5 (4) it is expected claimant prove the allegation that the money is owed. 9.  Until such time the claimant can comply to a section 78 request he is not entitled, while the default continues, to enforce the agreement 10. By reasons of the facts and matters set out above, it is denied that the claimant is entitled to the relief claimed or any relief.     .
    • OK, well rereading the court orders from March, in the cold light of day rather than when knackered late at night, it is quite clear that on 25 June there will only be a preliminary hearing about Laura representing her son.  Nothing more. It's lazy DCBL who haven't read things properly and have stupidly sent their Witness Statement early. Laura & I had already been working on a WS, and here it is.  It needs tweaking now after reading the rubbish that DCBL sent and after all of LFI's comments.  But the "meat" is there.

    • Morning, I purchased a car from Big Motoring World on 10th December 2023 for £14899.00. On the 15th December I had a problem with the auto start stop function of the car in which the car would stop in the middle of the road with a stop start error message. I called the big assist and the car was booked in for February. The BMW was with them for a week and it came back with the auto stop start feature all fine and all error codes cleared on the report from big motoring world. within 5 days I had the same issue. Warning light coming on and the car stopping. I called big assist again and the car was again booked in for an other repair in May. Car was taken back in may, they had the car for a week and returned with the report saying no issue with the auto stop start feature and blamed my driving. Within 5 days of having the car back it broke down again. This time undrivable. I had the rac pick my car up and take to Stephen James BMW for a full diagnostic. The diagnostic came back with the car needing a new fuel system as magnetic swarf was found.  I have sent big motoring world a letter stating all the issues and that under the consumer rights act 2015 I have asked for a replacement vehicle. all reports from Stephen James BMW have been sent over to big motoring world. Big motoring world have come back and said they will respond to my complaint within 14 days for the date of my complaint letter. I am not feeling confident on the response from them, what are my next steps?   Thanks in advance.

    • 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.

I had recently purchased my car from glasgow but i live in london and i did all the regular checks to ensure the person really did own the car..

 

I have the receipt of sale, the log book in my name, and have now recieved a letter from a company stating that the car is their legal property

and the previous owner should not have sold the car to me.

 

They have sent me a questionnaire?

 

I dont understand how this is possible as i saw those add on tv and sent a text to get the vehicle checked over

and it only showed the car as cat d and once i did this check i spoke to the seller and got the price reduced as it was not worth the price i was paying.

 

To be on the safe side i also took down his driving license number and took a copy of his license and also contacted dvla to confirm he was the owner of the car.

And the dvla confirmed on the phone that the vehicle was registered under this person.

 

I repeatedly asked that even on the phone and when we met in person if the car had any other records such as accidental or hpi and the seller said no, he owns the car.

 

What do i do now?

Do i send this questionnaire back?

 

I am thinking of going to my citizen advice burea on monday as i paid a lot of money and i dont want to lose it all as i have been also repairing the car my self

for over 2 months as it had quiet few problems.

 

It is still in my drive on jack stands..

 

. Please help!!

If yuo bought the car in good faith then the finnce company are NOT the legal owners, you are: you will get good tite to the car.

 

You can fill in their questionaire if you want to but I'm certain yuo have no legal obligation to do so.

 

I would just send them a copy of the bill of sale together with a covering explanatory letter stating that yuo bought the car in good faith from Mr XXXX of XXX street, glasgow and that their argument is with him as he has committed fraud by selling it and you have done nothing wrong.

 

But relax, you WILL ultimately get good title to the car.

 

Thois phone checks where yuo text the reg etc are rubbish, that's why hPi is £30 and the text ones are £3.. you get what you pay for.

Who is the name of the company?

 

I bought the car from scotland but this company address is from london, and their letter doesnt look professional. I think it says c collections, I tried looking them up on website and coming up as under construction

OP.. no you did a text check which only shows stolen / written off etc, not finance.

 

If ther website is 'under construction' they sound like a mickey mouse outfit to me so I'd be wary about responding.

 

Its no good saynig yuo are the registered keeper, it says in BIG LETTERS on the V5 that the RK is not necessarily the legal owner.

 

If you bought the car in good faith then you own it and will ultimately get good title to it, period.

 

All I would send them is a copy of the sales receipt shownig that you bought the car from the person that owes the finance together with a covering letter stating that their argument is with him and not you and you would like clear legal title to the car as allowed under the law.

At the moment we are not sure if ti is a legit company or not. Could be that a logbook loan was taken out against the car by a previous owner. I wouldn't send them any info at present until I had established their credentials.

About ten yrs ago, I had the same problem, I lost the car and my money.

Has the law changed?

All I ask is to be treated fairly and lawfully.

Nope. In your case it must have been either a 'log book loan' or the car was on a personal lease agreement and not an ordinary finance agreement.

 

With a logbook loan the company giving the loan take title to the car.

 

With a personal lease, title can never pass to the leasee unless/ until a balloon payment is made at the end of the lease. If title cannot pass, it cannot be assigned to someone else.

 

I know that in theory you are only a 'hirer' when the vehicle is subject to an HP agreement, but there is no doubt about it that as long as yuo buy the car in good faith and have a sales receipt etc from the seller then you will ultimately get good title to it.

Rambo's comment is scaring me but with Oddjob's comments seems some hope. Do you think I should try contacting the number of the letter to establish and gain more details as it says the car has been passed to them from someone else? so maybe another company possibly passed info to them and they are trying to recover the cost. The letter is asking for the question answers to help them establish how someone managed to sell the car to me? or is that one of their tricks getting me to give them information

 

thank you everyone who is helping me, I appreciate your help
