    • 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'll edit that accordingly and send that recorded on Monday. ;) I left the date in when the account was opened. Does that make any difference too? Also where the xxxxx's are above? What would I change it to? I mean this:

 

On xx/xx/2009 I wrote to xxxxxxxxx requesting that xxxxxxx supply me a true copy of the executed credit agreement for this account.

In response to this request I was supplied a mere application form which did not comply with the requirements of the Consumer Credit Act 1974.

The next letter from Moorcroft will be the one that says they are closing their file and returning the account to Argos.

 

Then 3 months later, Argos will pass it to a different DCA, and the whole thing starts again.

 

So for for me it's been 3 years and 8 different DCA's all for the same unenforceable Argos account. :D

8 different DCA'S. Yay I look forward to it. :p I'll stick to my guns and send the same letters i've been sending to everybody that decides to attack me. I can't go into details as it's too long and complicated but I'm not sure if it's unenforcable as I had a major issue with somebody stealing my Argos card details and running me up a huge bill. I challenged argos about it who basically said it was my fault and they had specific proof that I was making calls to place these orders (I asked for the so called proof and of course they wouldn't give me it or wouldn't even reveal who bought the items in my name) I said to argos, well if you cant and won't provide me the proof of who did this to me? I refuse to pay the money which I don't owe to the account. Stuck to my guns and next thing I knew, Moorcroft got involved. ;) I got more fuel in my fire to deal with any DCA though thanks to this place. ;)

You have nothing to worry about with the Argos CCA. Totally unenforceable application form. Also it's likely they don't have the original, as they were sent to head office for approval, then shredded. They'll only have a photocopy which is what they sent you a copy of, (and not a good quality one at that.)

 

Do you still have the default notice they will have sent before passing the account to Moorcroft? As that will be also dodgy, in not giving you 14 days to recitify the default, and the default amount being inaccurate due to there being unlawful penalty charges in there.

 

Always best to hit them with as much mud as you can, and hope most of it sticks.

Apparently my next letter from Moorcroft wasn't the they we're returning it to their client after all! :p (I'll scan it in and post it shortly and you can tell me what you think) Doesn't make much sense to me as they seem to have avoided the whole account in dispute thing but we shall see. I'll scan and post it up in a little bit.

(Just curious as to what you think that other letter I got today might mean)?
It's just part of their threat-o-gram cycle designed to intimidate, they send them out automatically... there's no human input.. even if they were written by hand there's still no human input. ;)
