    • I will annotate the message I sent for the forum.  Sorry, didn't see this straight away...
    • I went back to the area, this photo is taken on entry. My vehicle was parked in the first space on the left.    Would you say there is sufficient signage ? It’s different to the street view as one sign is missing. The sign nearest to where I parked is 2.23m above ground! So even if the car had been reversed parked in front of it, I don’t think it could be seen. PCN PPM.pdf
    • Thank you. I expect that @dx100uk will be along soon to give advice. Meanwhile, I really wonder whether the default date – as being the starting point of the six years – something which has been decided in law. It has always seemed to me to be extremely unfair. According to the limitation act, the six year period begins from the date on which the cause of action accrued. This normally means that the breach of contract occurred. Section 6 of the limitation act says that in terms of loans, the cause of action begins on the date that the debt was "demanded". Over the past two years this has come to mean the date that the default notice was issued – but I have to say I don't find that very satisfactory. If you received demands for payment before then then I don't see why section 6 shouldn't refer to that date. Did you not receive any correspondence at all in 2017/2018? What was the value of the original loan – and how much you pay off? I see that there was some kind of instalment agreement. Tell us about that. See what my colleague @dx100uk says but anyway, if I were you I would send off an SAR immediately both to the claimant and also to the original creditor. It costs you nothing. There is no downside. Get in the post straightaway with some kind of utility bill establishing your identity. You can even include a copy of the claim form as well as proof of your identity

    • 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

 

We have a 4 year loan with Moneybarn that is due to run out in August.

 

We have paid over £12k from a £14k loan.

 

However we did have problems as my partner has been in and out of work.

 

We took them to the FOS last year as they wouldn't allow us to move our payment date

when he changed jobs and they were charging us defaults and charges

for not paying by direct debit every month.

 

We won our case and set up an arrangement for the one payment we were now behind.

 

My partner was then laid off again and we've missed another payment.

 

A few weeks ago they told us if we didn't pay the two months payments

they would cancel the agreement and take us to court.

 

We've tried to come to a new arrangement but they refused.

 

As we also had car tax to pay we told them we couldn't afford to pull out £265 x 2

for the payments plus the car tax all in one month and we'd see them in court .

 

They subsequently cancelled the agreement and passed us on to their "asset management".

 

We've now paid more off the arrears and they are now only £300.

 

They are insisting that they must take us to court and they will only set an arrangement

if they can add the court costs at £175.

 

We need to sign a new agreement for £413 to include the arrears

and the court charge but part of this arrangement is also that they must view the vehicle

before it goes to court.

 

We're very nervous about this.

 

What are they up to now?

 

Anyone any ideas?

 

They won't arrange the viewing until they get a court hearing date

so we're left stewing over this.

 

Meanwhile the car isn't in great nick but its a 1995 car so what do they expect?

 

We haven't had it serviced and there are one or two bumps and scratches.

 

But we've paid an arm and a leg for it and its nearly paid for

(The original loan was for £8000 less £1500 deposit so only £6500).

 

Can they take it from us?????

 

This is making me ill now

 

- please help urgently

Hi this is the first time iv ever posted on a forum.

 

Normally i jus read them, but i had to take the time out and register and make a comment after your your situation.

 

The same thing happen to my mother last year. although with blockhorse and not money barn.

 

it was ALOT of stress and pressure for the family. ballifs even took the car away and it was ready to be put up for auction.

 

What my mum did was basically get a holding order from the court.

 

its a few forms, but it basically just gives you time to gather the money, or come to some type of agreement / term with money barn. (sorry if the story is jumbled or not accurate / not making any sense)

 

but all i can do is tell you what happened with her.

 

the car was taken even with the standing order placed. she went to court and explained to the judge how much she can pay, the car was returned.

 

please don't worry / get ill. it will work out.

 

i bought a car 2 months ago with money barn. this month will be my second instalment payment. its due tomorrow and i was actually on here trying to find an answer on wither they take payments on saturday or if it will be the next working day ... monday?

Hi - thnks for the note - sorry I can't help you re moneybarns payment date as we always paid ours via bank transfer due to the issues we've had with them. We're a lot more comfortable with our situation now that we've received the court papers and responded. Will let you know happens.

If your loan is due to be paid off in August this year there is no way a judge will let them take the car, you should also ask that the court costs are not added to your account as they have brought the action without cause.

 

How much are the charges they have added to your account ? are they still charging you each month for not paying by direct debit?

Hiya

 

They have sent in the court claim with a couple of errors so we're hoping this goes in our favour;

 

1/ They've said the original contract was signed on 19th september 2012!!!

It should say 19th September 2008.

 

2/ They court papers were issued on the 13th April saying we owe £562

BUT we paid £265 on the 30 March.

So the arrears are only £297.

 

They have acknowledged receipt on the 30th march so this is extremely misleading.

 

We have since signed an agreement with them to pay £413 per month in

May, June, July, August and September which will repay the £175 court fee,

the £297 arrears and cover the remaining payments.

 

They're not charging us for not paying by direct debit now because the agreement is terminated.

 

I never thought to contest the court fees and its too late now as

I've responded to the court and signed the agreement (but I am going to attend the court).

 

I just want to agree so that this all gets sorted and I can stop worrying about it.

 

Plus I thought the more amiable we were the better it would look to the court.

 

My worry is that there are a couple of bumps on the car

- although the court papers do say they allow wear and tear

- and we've never had it serviced.

 

I'm worried about them coming to view it in case they throw something else into the mix?

 

Surely if they've issued their claim they can't change it now?

 

We're awaiting court date now before they'll come and see the car.

Hi - it went to court

- by the time it had got to court we had caught up the repayments

but Duncton / Moneybarn pursued it anyway.

 

We actually ended up with extra time to repay the balance on the account

and the judge reduced the repayments for us so it working in our favour.

 

We kept up the new lower payments and the car is all paid for and we have the log book now.

 

Hope this helps

also - when they came to view the car they didn't worry about the bumps etc - think they just wanted to make sure we still had it!!!!!if you're having problems with them I'd recommend you let it go to court - the judge was very much on our side
