    • 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.

On 23 May 2013 I received a letter from Equidebt saying that they were closing my file

as the could not provide me with a valid CCA.

 

Today I received a letter from Cabot telling me that they had bought the debt, and what was I going to do about paying it.

 

They also enclosed a letter from the liquidators saying that Equidebt entered administration on 17/6/2013,

and that Cabot had bought the alleged debt.

 

Before I start a fight with cabot (already had dealings with them, and beaten them!),

is there any mileage in the fact Equidebt closed my account before they went bust,

and therefore before Cabot bought it?

 

Any advice gratefully received.

 

Thanks.

saying no CCA.

 

is this debt on your CRA file?

Don't think it will be SB'd as was paying until fairly recently. Equidebt sent me a snotty letter so I made a CCA request and all they supplied was barely legible copy of an application form dated 1996.

 

After I let them know that this wasn't good enough they closed the account.

 

Thanks

Thanks for reply dx. It was for a CooP Bank credit card.

 

Only info I have is application form signed February 1996. Do not know when last payment was made before being passed to DCA, although I suspect it would be around late 1999/early 2000

 

Earliest record I can find of payment to DCA is mid 2007. Don't know if any payments made before that date.

 

Do you think the CooP would still have any records of the account, and would Equidebt have account details pre 2007?

 

Thanks.

pers i'd just be ignoring them

 

phishing trip.

 

to spoof you out of money.

Hi

After a 5 year battle Equidebt sent me a letter in March about a Co op debt, they could not enforce, case closed and l would not hear from then again.

Just got the Crapbot letter today, will send them a missive about the account being closed. Not doing it all over again.

Looking for a little advice, please. Quick calendar of events -

21/3/2013 request CCA from Equidebt after being hassled to increase payment.

8/5/2013 non compliant Application Form received.

12/5/2013 send letter saying provide compliant CCA or close account.

23/5/2013 letter received from Equidebt saying they have investigated the matter and have closed the file, and will receive no further correspondence from them.

5/8/2013 letter from Cabot saying they have bought the alleged debt and inviting me to contact them to make arrangements to pay (in their dreams!). Ignored that and three subsequent letters, but now they have uprated their threatograms. Wondering if they can re-open a closed file, and do I need to respond to their letters, given that they are acting more aggressively now. Thanks.

Oops, sorry dx, forgot I'd posted previously.

 

Alleged debt details are as in merged thread.

 

Still nothing showing on CRA files.

 

Will copy the Equidebt letter to them and see what happens, athough I can"t see them giving up that easily.

 

Cups, have you heard anything from Crapbot yet?

Hi

I actually got a letter from Crapbot the other day saying they had closed the file. I sent them 3 months ago my letter from Equidebt and told them they had bought a closed account, end of story.

They will take their time to reply l am sure, but once you have told them l would leave them to it.
