    • 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.

Hi Surfer01

That would have been nice at the time but when I took out the mortgage they were more bothered about selling mortgages than insurance.

I was also in a "safe" job with the coal board and didn't think I'd need one. What a difference a few years and a change of government can make, at least now I've gained a first class degree in hindsight.

The information provided falls far short of what is required in response to a SAR.

 

Advise ARUK you require all information regarding the Repossession,all letter's.statements,valuations,the price the house as sold for,all solicitor's correspondence, interest charges and until you receive this information from them all payments will cease as you feel you have paid far more than is required

 

Use the CitizenB letter on page 13 of this thread and amend as required

Thanks firstship,

I will have a look at Citizenb's letter and probably send it when I've doctored it to suit.

 

In the meantime how will it affect my case if I did stop payments as

 

I have received nothing more than court threats and I don't want to adversely affect any future court case.

 

Also as mentioned in an earlier thread my loan was taken out with a firm called J & J Securities

but the doc Ive received from Asset Recoveries

 

shows part of an application from afirm Ive never heard of called Midland and General securities.

 

Any ideas??

Hello again

It just got weirder.

 

I've looked up midland and general securities on t'web and

 

they were incorporated 28th March 1996

(2 years after our house was repossessed)

 

and dissolved on 19 september 2000

 

so where do they come in to the equation????

I agree that they appear not to understand that the Request is indeed a request for ALL data in connection with your relationship with them. However, the following SAR is specifically for mortgages, so you can adapt this for your needs and return it. Any more nonsense from them, then you will need to make a complaint to the Information Commissioner.

 

I suspect that not making payments might well cause them to become unpleasant. I will send out an S.O.S for you.

Lender’s address

1. Details of the agent(s) responsible for marketing the property, a list of the offers received and how they were reviewed.

 

2. Copies of any newspaper or internet advertisements relating to the sale of the property.

 

3. Copies of the valuations received on the property (minimum of two is required under the CML rules).

 

4. Selling agent’s report on activity and any reports relating to visits to the property to ensure security of the property.

 

5. If the property was sold under value please provide reports and supporting evidence to prove that the best offer was obtained.

 

6. If the property was sold at auction, please provide reports to support the decision to sell at auction.

 

7. Specific details of the fees or charges levied by any other agency in respect of this account and a detailed breakdown of said fees or charges and what each charge relates to and on what date said fees or charges were levied.

Do you know what the amount of shortfall was at the time of repossession?

 

I would imagine that, given it's 20 years since the original order for possession, they would need to apply to the court for permission to enforce that original order.

Yes from year 2000 to date.

 

Various reasons,

 

one being that at that time that I had a familly of five to house and feed.

 

I had to borrow heavily from familly and friends and was self employed with a struggling business.

 

As my situation improved slightly over the next years I

 

have spent my extra resources on repaying those who helped me out when I needed it.

Hi guys

Any feedback on the docs I uploaded on July 10th especially Doc 3 and 3b.

 

I am not going to put a voluntary charge on my property as Having lost one property to repossession

 

no robbing debt collection agency is going to get another bite at that cherry.

 

Thanks guys.

Are you in a position to get some money together to make an offer for full and final settlement. Maybe start with an offer of 20% but you may need to settle for more.

 

Also, do you have equity in your current property? If you were assured they wouldn't force sale, would a charge be the end of the world? I'm not saying you should agree to a charge but consider if it might be an option.

Hi Caro,

 

Sorry to take so long to reply but Ive been reviewing my options.

 

I finished work in December on health grounds and I officially retired in March being an official recycled teenager.

 

I do have a limited amount of savings but if I cut into these they would be irrepaceable on my pension.

 

There is equity in my house but

having one house repossesed there is absolutely no way I'm going to put another property in the hands of these people.

 

One thing that does have me puzzled though is that in thread 27

I received a copy of one page of a loan application form from a firm called Midland and General Securities Ltd.

 

I've done a bit of research and this firm was incorporated on 28 03 1996

two years after we were evicted on 19 Dec 2000.

 

I never took out a loan with this company and have no knowledge of any dealings with them

 

The loan I took out was with J & J Securities and no mention was ever made of any other company being involved was made to me.

 

Any thoughts on this.

 

The document is incomplete but thats all they sent.

Is there anything in what they've sent you that proves that the original amount of the shortfall is correct?

 

 

I've asked others in the site team for their input.

 

You could send a letter about the incomplete sar and/or contact the ico and tell them you have had no dealings with midland and general.
