    • Hello, firstly thank you for reading this. I know no one wants a long winded back story. So I’ll be breif. I entered a local store to buy some paint (which I did pay for) I am honestly not a bad person or a theif.   Didn’t have a basket or trolly as was on my lunch break. Whilst picking up the three tubs of paint placed some masking tape in my pocket (it was hanging out of so I had every intention to pay) just didn’t have a hand free. Paid for my goods (forgot about the £4.39 masking tape) I’ve got so much going on and im not well at all (like I say no one cares I get that) also have autism so wasn’t thinking particularly like others do maybe (who knows my minds going around and around) I left the store after paying, was pulled back in by security. Asked for the tape which I gave immediately  shook up. Gave them my ID and details. I was given some paper and told to expect a large fine in the post for their time and the tape and sent on my way. my questions are: I hardly ever go out without support so the ban I guess I can’t go there now for anything (their loss) - ok but is my photo going to be all over with my name? how much am I expecting in the post as a fine? I have sent them cash in the post recorded signed for delivery to arrive tomorrow (incident happened today) for my error. Their Address was on the bit of paper. i have read two posts on this page but they were from many many years ago so I hoped for updated advise please? 
    • V important you read lots of BMW threads too !  
    • So should I send them a new SAR and put my date of birth on it? Or do I need to send them some proof? Driving license? 
    • Thanks so much for your help!! I've emailed them, and when they reply saying they can't do it I'll reply and state my rights. I'm so glad I found this forum, and will read all of the posts I can find and help guides available for the future. Really can't thank you enough.
    • utter BS, doesn't matter you signed it. pers i'd be writing as per the other threads here rejecting the car as not as described under CRA etc and be done with it. as its a debit card you could also do a full chargeback within 120 days to your bank and simply dump the car back to BMW. 100's of like threads to read here. get your ducks inline. make sure you know what you are doing and off you go. dont take any BS from BMW, no matter what you sign it does NOT remove your consumer rights. p'haps it might be on the off chance you are a good manager , a quick phonecall tomorrow saying you dont want it because (no bla bla fitted) it might be resolved in 5 mins..i will guess to date you not tried

    • 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.

Undoubtedly SB looms Lowell Panic!!!

 

When in 2007 was the last payment, you can make a rough estimate by going back 4-5 months prior to the default date.

I've no idea to be honest. I wad made redundant in 2007 and for a while used "in control debt solutions" which didn't work. I know for sure I have never paid a dca even though several have tried (wescot, 1st credit, fredericksons etc) id know for sure if Barclays would stump up the statements.

I was thinking that given the history of this debt that it might be a good idea to send a statute barred letter, the one below I have used a lot it does NOT acknowledge the debt, but will send a DCA in to a panic finding proof that it's not SB and very often turns up ''unavailable'' documents that you need.

 

Send RD to the Data Controller

Lowell.

 

Ref: use the one on their letters.

 

 

Sir,

 

I have been researching my credit history and in particular a debt for £ xxx .xx which Lowell allege is owed by me, this debt is said to originate from an acount with xxxxxxx, please note I do NOT acknowledge any debt to Lowell or any company you may claim to represent.

 

From my research I have concluded that any such alleged debt is statute barred, therefore I will not now or in the future make any payment or offer off payment in regard to this debt.

 

If Lowell are minded to dispute this matter I remind you that the onus of proof that the debt is not statute barred lies entirely on Lowell it is not for me to prove any thing.

 

I have been made aware of the OFT Guidance 2003/2012 and thesections regarding statute barred debt.

 

For clarification and the avoidance of misunderstanding this letter is NOT any admission or acknowledgment of any liability to Lowell.

I always thought it was best not to sign anything going to a dca via the post.

A good few years ago there were allegations made that a DCA had ''lifted'' a signature and ''forged;; an agreement using it, not sure if it was ever proved, I can say in many years of dealing with DCAs and debt problems I have never seen any such happening, if you require information from a company DCA/Creditor a signature will be needed to verify the ID of the person making the enquiry (DPA).

 

It's like printing your name on a cheque and expecting it to be honoured.

What's the score with ppi? I got a refund of Barclays a while ago? Shouldn't that refund come off what Lowell's are claiming?

 

Looking through the old paper work the figures seem dodgy anyway and I suspect this is why Barclays won't hand over all the statements. In 2009 I've got a mountain of letter from several dcas all with differing amounts an bare in mind nonpayment was made. There's 230,390,370,430!!

Just had a threatogram in the post of lowlife:

 

"Despite the fact we have offered you numerous opportunities to resolve the debt it remains outstanding.

 

Unless we recieve payment in full or a part payment with proposed payment plan within the next five days we will have no alternative but to instruct our solicitors to look to begin legal action against you. This could result in us applying for the value of the debt to be secured on your property or applying to recover the money you owe by making deductions directly from your earnings along with court costs and interest. Alternately we may arrange for an agent to visit your address to negotiate settlement.

 

You can still avoid further qction being taken by contacting our collections department now."

 

Good look with that Lowell, I have no property owned by me and I'm an unemployed student!!

 

I think they may have turned up yesterday, someone was singing my doorbell for ages. People who know me know to txt me first or it gets ignored because I'm on the top floor!!

Morning Hacked Off,

 

Lowell do love their threats, the wording here is quite funny I think. ''No alternative but to instruct solicitors''. BUT

''we may alternatively send our man in a dirt mac to see you''.

What a load of BOWLOCKS.

 

Ignore or ''plead poverty'' and tell them their secret squirrel can get lost.

They seem to have the same cycle. Send me nice letters offering "generous" discounts and "we want to help" then threats then they go quiet for a bit!! Quite amusing really. I'm low on toilet paper today so thanks for the letter Lowell :)

You have to laugh at their missives, I wonder sometimes how they could possibly think that anyone ever takes them serious?

Who ever heard of someone getting a job at the Jobcentre? The unemployed are sent there as penance for their sins, not to help them find work!
