    • 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.

You need something from court/official or accountant to confirm that there is no money or assets left for this limited company. There must be something official to confirm the situation with the company that you can supply to Direct Collections.

We could do with some help from you.

Provided you don't have a personal guarantee for the company's debt and there is no suggestion of trading negligently while insolvent : you have no obligation for the company's debt beyond money you have invested in the company.

 

DCA's have limited powers at best, even less when perusing an individual for a companies debts.

 

Don't let any caller from a DCA in, advise them the company is being wound up.

 

Does the company have assets at your home?.

They won't take your word for it. They would need to see some official document confirming no assets or money left after company wound up.

We could do with some help from you.

Up to you, but some DCA's have been known to be economical with the truth about their powers. As for "close the door" on them, you don't have to open it in the first place.

 

Why not prepare a letter for them : the company is being wound up, there are no company assets at your home.

If / when they call, hand them the letter. If you have documentation regarding the winding-up, so much the better.

 

There is also a template letter on the CAG site where you can revoke the implied permission they have to visit your home. Why not hand them both ......

just remember NO DCA has ANY POWERS to seize ANYTHING!

 

DLC don't take people to court either

so they have only been 'assigned' the debt

on a civil level

 

even IF they had a court order

 

it would NOT be them that did the seizure anyhow

 

NO DCA even WITH a court order can demand or take ANYTHING

 

they are only a DCA they are NOT BAILIFFS and NEVER EVER will be.

 

dx

please don't hit Quote...just type we know what we said earlier..

DCA's view debtors as suckers, marks and mugs

NO DCA has ANY legal powers whatsoever on ANY debt no matter what it's Type

and they

are NOT and can NEVER  be BAILIFFS. even if a debt has been to court..

If everyone stopped blindly paying DCA's Tomorrow, their industry would collapse overnight...
