    • 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.

This is exactly what happened to my son.

He was in a mess following marriage break up approx 2007, exiled from home, into flat with assc.

costs - TSB talked him into Credit card and then gave him a loan to pay off arrears he got into after losing job!

With assistance from CAB advisor set up payment plan (which included Priority debts payments CSA as wifey was taking money

AND contacted CSA which said he was in arrears even before they contacted him!

- still paying this with extra when he has temp. work,

never claims any benefits as we help where we can to keep him sane).

 

Cabot wrote - originally saying second letter and that he was already in arrears and that TSB had sold debt to them.

 

TSB advising they had written to tell him of this action (No correspondence ever received) TSB said now cannot produce copy of original loan

or (supposed) letter as now have no record relating to my son and he must ask Cabot for docs.

Cabot letters escalated to threatening External Debt Collection Agent or commence legal action (with further costs as part of County Court Judgement)

Also have his 'phone no. as he rang them before he spoke with me

- he told them he knew nothing of the debt sale but if they left their bank details and it was legit he would agree a payment.

He now receives many calls per day but does not answer.

 

My son is effectively homeless so no charge on home worries (Divorce just completed and he made no claim on marital home)

he uses my address as c/o address.

Can anyone advise on what action to take?

Should we contact TSB/Halifax for copy docs. or is this a waste of time now?

Or should we ask for proof

Cabot can legally ask for this debt (which reverted back to original amount owed before any payments made under agreement

- plus my son does not have copy of original agreement or even any recall of % rates etc.)

Thanks in advance of assistance

Well did as you suggested - no reply as yet!

Well it is Christmas and we know that as we have now received an early Xmas present in the form of two further 'letters'

advising that my sons (ex) current account (overdraft just over £470) has been passed on to Apex Credit Management ??

 

anyone know them?

AND

his Credit Card account (also frozen under the previous aggreement) (approx £685) passed to CapQuest (I saw they are a South African firm???)

good to know they think the 'poor' of Britain still have some cash to extract!!

 

Need to ask for statements etc. (no communication from Lloyds for years despite them writing to say they have been unable to agree a suitable payment plan!

Understandable if my son thought his 'token' payments were still acceptable and they did not tell him otherwise!)

 

So now 4 to deal with Child Maintenance (of course priority and I shall make sure this is up-to-date)

TSB Loan/TSB overdraft/TSB Credit Card - would have been so much easier and cheaper for all if they had contacted him before passing things on

- but of course that would have been the 'honourable' thing to do!!

 

Would it be acceptable to offer Full and Final offer to the two smallest debts?

(know this should not be the way but might make it easier to manage (or will paying just make them chase him even more? I cannot afford to offer enough to cover all!)

 

Thanks
