    • 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.

had a good look at this yesterday.

 

In the Knowle Portfolio letter dated dec 2005 it states

 

Mortgagees in Possession J&J Securities NOT Mid and gen (could this be a modifying ag?) not the original, (ALSO this is a JOINT application)

 

also J & J featured in Parliament, very interesting read in this context

My own view is that you really need a breakdown of the shortfall calculation.

 

Perhaps you could adapt this template to meet your needs.

By continuing to pay you continue to acknowledge the debt but do you really know that you owe it?

As it is a mortgage shortfall debt I would question why they have cropped up now chasing it - it is STATUTE BARRED as far as I can tell reading this thread - if you had not made any payment or acknowledged it from 12 years FROM THE DATE OF THE ACTION WHICH LED TO THE REPOSSESSION as has been defined in some recent cases - don't have the info on them but I know there are people on this site who can get that info... then they cannot come begging you to pay up.

OP has been paying £5 a month since 2000 SG so it's not statute barred sadly.

Sorry Caro, pity really but if they are threatening legal action now I think they would find that given the OPs circumstances it would be a bit difficult to explain why they had not done it much earlier... plus given the fact that although the OP may have equity in another property they may not have a strong claim on it.

I wonder if the fact they're asking for a voluntary charge may reflect that SG.

Hi Caro

I've been trying to open the link you posted on J&J mentioned in parliament but it keeps telling me that the link is not recognised.

Also some corrections to my post 47.

We were evicted in 1994.

Midland and General were incorperated 28 03 1996 and their dissolution date was 19 sept 2000.

Still looking for any more info I can find.

Thanks Caro

I've had a read through the hansard doc and there are so many factors quoted that were similar to my cicumstances at the time of the origonal loan with J&J. Firstly I was self employed and on low earnings and they took a high earnings week as a basis for my income.Secondly the salesman told me that my property was worth more than it actually was so that on paper there was an increased collateral in the property.

Also while looking through some old papers I've discovered that I was sold PPI at the time of the loan which I believe was prepaid out of the loan.Whats my chances of claiming misselling of this as we were told that it was a necessity to have this insurance?

Ppi was useless as you were self employed. Also making it a condition of the loan. IMO your case is strong. You need to start taking control and challenging what you owe.

I suggest that you could say that you dispute the amount that you owe and perhaps stop paying until they can prove what they claim is owed. After all these years the ppi claim could potentially clear any alleged debt.

woodmio, I had a niggling feeling that you would have had ppi (totally useless to the s/e, as Caro has said)

 

Standard practice in those days was to reply to a newspaper advert

 

broker would call round ( Midland and General Ltd did exist back then as brokers)

 

always sold the ppi,

 

and I reckon that application form from M&G was in reality just part of

 

the brokers application form (not your actual agreement)

 

 

and the loan was then placed to whoever was paying the highest commision at the time,

 

in this case J&J

 

perhaps that may hopefully jog your memory, as to M&G involvement:-)

Hard to comment without knowing what your SAR said.

 

My personal view is it is best not to be too specific with SARs otherwise you give them a get out card not to send other stuff,

but I know not everyone is of the same view.

 

If you said you'd stop paying until you got what you wanted,

 

then you need to follow through with that IMO.

 

Did they return your fee because it seems they've supplied nothing?

Hi Caro

I've been on the ICO website and I'm going to send Asset Recoveries UK a letter based on a template there.

I'm also going to request further information on the debt amount as some of the details they've sent is very sketchy.

Also any suggestions as to make a claim on the missold PPI'

Have you got any information about the ppi? If so there's info in the ppi forum including spreadsheets to calculate what you can claim. Have a good read and when you're ready start a thread.

 

If you don't have the info you'll need to see what the new sar produces and take it from there.

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.

 

Were you employed or self-employed when the ppi was taken out?
