    • So do I gather that you are out of pocket to the tune of £2500 which is part of the purchase price and a further £1800 in respect of the warranty? The £2500 was used to buy the car. Did warranties200 per year or did they pay big motoring world directly?
    • Farage has agreed to be interviewed by Nick Robinson on Panorama. 7pm this Friday, BBC1. He didn't do very well last time he was questioned on specific policies.
    • I did what I told my husband not to do…and I telephoned them. All credit where it’s due, the lady on the phone was very helpful. I’m not gonna lie I broke down on the phone as this has been incredibly stressful. Perhaps that helped, but I would like to think they just realised they sold us a faulty car.    so we only bought one extended warranty and that was with Nissan. The car salesman gave us the hard sell and we fell for 100%! Part of the sell was if there was ever a problem then we would only ever take the car to a Nissan garage. There was a problem after a few days and we were instructed to go to a third party grange! We contacted Nissan on the phone and they said they would put on a complaint for us so maybe that helped too.    we just want to try and get all of our spend back now. The deposit, money for the finance and money for the extended warranty. I reload we will probably have to pay costs but I guess we can’t argue with that. We just need a new car!!!! Aaarrgghhhh!    thanks so much for your help once again. 
    • Right I see I didn't realise it had to be laid out like that. I have had another go, sorry I'm really struggling here! 1.The Defendant contends that the particulars of claim are vague and generic in nature. The Defendant accordingly sets out its case below and relies on CPR r 16.5 (3) in relation to any particular allegation to which a specific response has not been made. 2. The claimant has thus far been unable to produce any evidence that the alleged debt has been legally assigned to them. Nor have they been able to provide evidence that notice of assignment was given to the defendant on the dates stated in the particulars of their claim. 3. The claimant has given no details as to the breakdown of their claim or what dates it relates to. As a result the defendant is unable to specifically defend the claim until the claimant can show how the amount has been reached. In the claimants particulars of claim, the claimant openly admits that they have a copy of the agreement and its terms and conditions but have failed to provide these to the defendant. Pursuant to the civil procedure rules Practice Direction 16 (7.3) Where a claim is based upon a  written agreement: (1) a copy of the contract or documents constituting the agreement should be attached to or served with the particulars of claim and the original(s)  should be available at  the hearing. With the court’s permission the Claimant is put to strict proof to:- a) show and disclose how the Defendant has entered into an agreement; b) show and disclose how the Claimant has reached the amount claimed ; c) show how the Claimant has the legal right, either under statute or equity to issue a claim; 4. As per Civil Procedure Rule 16.5 (4) it is expected that the Claimant prove the allegation that the money is owed. 5. It is therefore denied that the defendant is indebted to the claimant as alleged or at all.

    • 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.

A DCA may well accept the offer but I would suggest

starting to offer at 10% leaving room to negotiate.

Please do not make any speculative payments as

a Full & Final payment make the offers in writting

and get clear written acceptance.

You can make the offers conditional on the removal

of all adverse data from the credit reference agencies.

Any Letters I Draft are N0T approved by CAG and no personal liability is accepted.

i have been offered a lump sum to pay off my unsecured debt, but the settlement figure works out to 20% of the debt.

 

Would DCAs except this figure

 

That would depend. Many say that these DCA's buy the debt or are sold the debt for as little as 10p in the pound. How real that may be or how close to that figure may depend on the original amount. I offered about 30% of my £9.5K loan, upped it by a further £1K but eventually they settled for 50% recently. That was as much as i had to negotiate with luckily. I would say start low regardless of the amount you have and if you have anymore, use that as your bargaining chip. Because if you start with all that you have, and they reject it, you have nothing to go back with. It's not being dishonest, its an unwritten rule of negotiating.

it depends on length of debt your age and whether the creditor thinks they will get more back in the long run. this is what a creditor told me when i was going through this last year with mbna! send the full ans final letter off and see what they come back with. but check any ppi and charges first

Hi bit more info would be helpful.,which DCA has made the offer and do they own the debt.

 

If the DCA owns the debt taking into account what they paid for the debt,(7% to 15%)if it was 20% of the balance outstanding that would be quite good but before you accept any offer update us on who etc and what the balance is outstanding along with the original amount,was there any PPI and have there been any charges.Sorry lots of questions but Full and Final can be a minefield

Absolutely spot on! As for speculating on the amount a DCA would pay an OC, I would guess it is nowhere near the percentage mentioned in an earlier post.

 

A couple of years ago someone on this site managed to discover the purchase price a DCA paid to Barclaycard for their outstanding CC debt.......it worked out at 3%. Not a bad business model if they are recovering 50% in full and final settlement!

have you received any discount letters fromany dca's?

 

if you have, drop the debt

 

if a debt does not show on your cra ignore those debts too

Yes it certainly is a minefield. I have had an informal arrangement for over four years now. All are showing on my credit file. I have reclaimed the ppi.

 

I feel that i should pay back these debts, but unfortunately due to unforeseen financial restraints i am unable to fully satisfy them.

 

This offer from a family member is only on the table with the proviso it clears the majority of the unsecured debt.

 

Not sure as to what to say in the f&f letter. I am not the best at writing offical sounding letters.

have you checked for penalty charges too?

 

F&F details are below in my sig.

 

but pers i'd NEVER F&F a debt

unless ALL neg data is removed AND the debt is marked SETTLED & not Partial settlement.

 

you might as well BURN the money if they wont do that.
