    • 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 would be very grateful if anyone could answer a few questions for me. This is a bit of a minefield for me, but they are threatening to issue a bankruptcy petition. The SD was dated 12th Oct and I know I should have dealt with this sooner - is it too late to apply to have it set aside?

 

The demand is for two separate debts, and been passed from DCA to DCA over the last few years - they arent statute barred however - but I have never received a valid CCA from them despite several requests.

 

Not sure what my best course of action is here - can they really have me made bankrupt for unsecured debts?

 

I've been reading a lot of threads on here which are all wonderfully helpful, but I am very confused as to what I should really be doing, especially as the 18 days have now passed.

When did you make the CCA requests (before the demand was delivered) ? Have you tried to submit an 'out of time' set aside of the demand, which you can do but will need to give reasons whay you are applying 'out of time' as for the 18 days then it is likely you will have 1 or 2 days grace, but you need to work quickly....

Thanks for your replies. The SD was posted through the door by hand, and CCA requests were made to the original creditor initially about three years ago, and the accounts have been passed back and forth between numerous DCA's - none have ever provided a valid CCA (although they have produced copy agreements).I'm afraid to say as it has dragged on so long and nothing has really happened I didn't really understand the importance of the SD until i had another letter yesterday. Prior there has been no correspondence for around two years as I returned everything unopened.How do I apply for an 'out of time' set aside? Thank you so much for your help.

..How do I apply for an 'out of time' set aside?....

 

if required, include extension request with reasons on form 6.5.

Thank you 42man. Have had a read and note that the SD they served me only has three pages - no particulars of debt. Should I mention this in defence? My CCA requests were sent to original creditor and also to subsequent DCA's (along with a letter stating they were in breach by passing to a 3rd party whilst account in dispute). I haven't CCA'd curent DCA as I had returned all communication. Should I do this now, and mention account in dispute? Also I have a deed of assignment on one of the alleged debts, but not the other.

Finding this very confusing as they are chasing two debts - am in the process of filling out the forms, but as the CCA requests on one of them were to original creditor and a different DCA should i include them? And mention account in dispute when passed to 3rd party?

You show the judge just how angry and annoyed you are at having to deal with a stat demand that was posted through the door with no effort made at service, you also stress that it had been in dispute since (date) and that they had made no attempt at resolving the dispute, you show the judge that they have not provided any paperwork at all including compliant default notice, details of any ppi, statements for the duration of the account including possible penalty charges, a fully compliant agreement that is signed.

 

Bearing in mind that the legal clerk who turns up to represent Lowells will attempt to 'talk' with you....just state that you will listen whilst they talk...stand your ground and do not be bullied. Call the judge Sir or Madam and don't interrupt when he / she is talking and claim your costs (which you will need to send in to the court so they are in the files at least 24 hours before the hearing - Link here to assist - http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?327997-Statutory-Demand-from-Hamptons-Legal-WON-STAT-DEMAND-DISMISSED/page2&highlight=hamptons

Make sure you read your witness statement and try your best to understand what is being said....if for any reason you don't get a judge who seems not to be on your side then go for an UNLESS order, in that UNLESS they provide a full portfolio of paperwork (compliant agreements, default notices, statements for the duration of the account, details of PPI) then you ask the judge to strike out with your costs...they have had enough time to get the paperwork.

They never used to until 2011 that is when they started sending a local legal clerk or solicitor, in court they usually say...."I only got the case faxed through last night" which means they don't have much specific knowledge of the Consumer Credit Act or The Insolvency Laws or they probably haven't even read your witness statement let alone argue the points on i........if they do produce some on the day (unlikely they will have one item of paperwork let alone the whole portfolio). Then depending on what it is you could possibly (as mentioned above) request an 'unless order' for the remainder........your aim is to get it thrown out due to the dispute / or a potential triable issue (you have a number of High Court Case laws in your witness statement I presume which could be arguable in a county court - there fore making it 'triable') You are going however for the dismissal of the demand and your costs....
