    • 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.

My husband took out a loan with lbl nine regions ltd (now hermes) for £1000 nearly 18 months ago, to date we have paid back £2299.04 of the £2922.66 total to pay inc interest.

He lost his job a couple of months ago and although we have tried to keep up with the weekly repayments it just hasnt been possible and have missed quite a few payments over the last few weeks, they have refused lower payments and have now demanded we pay them £623.62 and have threatened to come take the car if we dont. So i turned to the internet for advice which led me to finding you guys as we really dont want to lose the car.

 

In response to their demand i wrote to them requesting copies of the credit agreement, bill of sale & statement of account as i cannot find my originals. I then recieved a settlement letter followed a few days later by a copy of the credit agreement and a statement of account but no bill of sale have waited 2 weeks and still no bill of sale but another letter allowing us a further 7 days to settle the account before repossession. which is up on 17/10/12

 

Are there any template letters i can send hermes again requesting copy of bill of sale or do they not need to supply me with a copy?

 

I believe that if a creditor fails to comply with my request for a copy of credit agreement they are unable to enforce an agreement until they comply, is this true and does this also apply for bill of sale?

 

I have also been told by a friend that they cannot reposses the vehicle as i owe less than 1/3 or something like that have you heard of this and does this apply to bill of sale loans also or just standard car finance?

 

Any help and advice would be appreciated

Hermes have now sent me a copy of the bill of sale, but there is no court stamp on it anywhere, im unsure if it has not been registered or if they have sent me an unstamped copy on purpose.

 

does anyone know how i find out if my bill of sale is registered?

Have spoken to royal courts of justice this morning to find out how I can get a copy of the registered bill of sale, I now have an address of where I send my request but its going to cost £40 as I don't have the ref number. So planning to write to Hermes again asking for copy of the stamped registered bill of sale or at least the ref number so I can obtain a copy from the court myself. If it is indeed registered.

wrote to hermes again and they have now sent me a copy of the stamped bill of sale. its stamped 4 days after signed agreement and looks genuine.

 

Im unsure what to do next, really do not want to lose the car but cannot keep up the installments they are asking for of £55 a week when we are only on jsa at the minute. The original loan was for £1000, we have paid so far £2299.04 and the most recent statement shows we still owe £1031.62, £408 of that is charges for calls & letters. we are not in a position to offer a lump sum.

 

Is there anything i can to make this debt unsecured so i can then make small repayments without worry of losing the car?

just been going through the paperwork i have again and have noticed something strange, they sent me a copy of the bill of sale without a high court stamp, i then requested a copy with stamp which they sent, but looking at them both now, my husbands signatures are different on each and the details of the witness vary, on one it says staff on the other it sales staff. My husband doesnt remember signing 2 different bill of sales.

 

trying to upload pics of everything.

hopefully this works as its the first photo i have uploaded here.

if it works its a picture of 2 bill of sale documents sent to me by hermes/log book loans about a week apart, the one on the left was sent to us without a high court stamp and the one on the right is the one they sent along with the high court stamp.
