    • 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.

Hello all, me again

 

Vanquis passed my account over to lowells some time ago and as is the norm received shedloads of phonecalls etc from them over the last few months.

 

I sent lowells a cca request I think it was the 23 July.

 

I received a letter from lowells saying dated the 13 August 2012 saying they have asked the original lender for a copy of the cca

and they will do their best to send the info within 12 working days.

 

I recieved another letter from lowells on the 28th August 2012 saying they have still not received the cca from vanquis

and that they are still trying to retrieve it from their archives.

 

I checked the post date on the envelope on the second letter and there isnt one.

The cca request i sent them is on my work pc so cant be accurate with my "sent date"

 

My question is how long do I give them before I send them a this account is in dispute letter please?

 

Many thanks

Pete

yes pete matters not.

 

before anone starts waving their arms about a debt

they should have the correct proof you owe it

 

not a phishing list.

 

they have 12+2 days, no excuses.

 

just bear-in-mind that if they latterly produce an enforceable agreement

then the situation might change.

 

how old is this card?

Yes i think they will be late payment charges and going over credit charges.

 

I will have to go over records at home to answer the last two questions - will post what they are later tonight.

 

From what I can gather I think I got back £166 and the 8% interest but I need to go through my bank statements to double check.

 

It could be more but i need to go back over my records.

If your CCA request is to Vanquis then the time limit is 12 + 2 days = 14 to comply, after which they are in default and you let them know. If you requested thru Lowells it is up to them to comply thru vanquis and keep you informed , also that any activity will cease for now until complied with is the norm.

 

If you lowells contact or have inform them that a CCA1974 request has been submitted since (the date you sent it and they are in default until they suuply one). all activity should then cease on their front,

 

You could complaint to the FOS on internet giving dates CCA request etc submitted to vanquis etc and se what they respond.

 

Always send proof of posting or Recorded delivery for reason of doubt.

Had a letter from lowells today which reads (sorry no scanner had to type it).

 

"Your credit agreement

We refer to your recent request for a copy of the original credit agreement for this account.

 

After liasing with Vanquis in an effort to obtain this document we have been advised that it is no longer available due to the length of time since the account was opened with you.

 

We are closing your account

At this time we have closed our file and will not make any further contact with your concerning payment against this account unless the copy of the agreement is received at some point in the future from Vanquis.

 

If you have any questions blah blah blah."

 

I sent the failure to comply letter today without knowing I had this letter sitting at home.

 

Do I need to do anything now?
