    • 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.

What is the default date shown on the files NOW?

its still the same as i haven't checked it again, as getting credit checked too many times is bad right......?

 

lowell only contacted me after i got my credit report.......is there claim still valid then........could they have bought the debt a while back, but are only just getting round to it..........surely they would want to contact me as soon as they bought the debt......this s why i am questioning it....

 

original payments to lloyds stopped a few years back.....and it was them who stopped asking for payment.....

Checking your own file has no impact what so ever, and contrary to all the old wives tales does not alert anyone that you have done so.

Went a got another credit report, to be specific, a statutory credit report. The main aim was to see what was listed in the debt section.

 

Out of the 3 debts, one has gone, which is good, 2 remain, one of which is the Lloyds TSB overdraft. Its still there, but there is still no sign of the debt purchaser who bought my debt.......

 

Why would this debtor not be listed?

 

If my credit was to be checked for a mortgage for example they wouldn't see the debt purchaser would they, so how valid is it.....

I guess that the debt purchaser has not yet been able to up date the files.

 

The default shown by the a original creditor is there.

There is a possibility that they have not yet updated the files so it still does not reflect that they purchased the debt. Is there any update on this one j_tord?

No change on this...........

 

The credit report does actually mention 'DEBT ASSIGNED CAIS MEMBER', which I assume means the debt has been sold. It states the start date of this was August 2013. No mention of who it has been sold too.

 

When my Lloyds account is removed due to the default and because it has been 6 years from default date, will the new debt purchaser appear then?

 

There has been a few letter demanding payment but none for a few weeks...........

The debt purchaser will up date the files sooner than later, and as debts are sold in portfolio lots it will take time to through.

Lowell checked my name back in May 10th of this year, the debt was then assigned/sold to them in August of this year, I then got a second credit report done to see if Lowell were now listed on the 1st of September and nothing..........

 

How long should it normally take to show up......

Can I mention specifics in the letter and therefore acknowledging any debt in writing?

 

The debt has been sold on, however I would like to avoid payment and at the very least reduce the payment

an sar is a legal document

it is your legal right to be able to get copies of all pers details a company has on your

again, thank you..........

 

I have listed specific thing I would like to receive from them and these are:

 

 

• A list of the accounts I held with the bank;

• Balance of the accounts when they were closed;

• The date the accounts were opened and closed;

• A breakdown of any outstanding balance at the time of account closure, specifically any charges that were applied;

• A statement of payments made to the bank from me after the accounts were closed, detailing payment amounts and dates;

• Any details concerned with the selling of any outstanding balance to any third party debt collection agencies;

 

 

 

Does that sound OK........

all of that is part of an sar return anyway

 

you do not need the list.

Lowell have now said they are going to pass on the debt to Fredericksen International.

Any experience with this organisation?

 

I have contacted Lowell via email and told them I am unaware of the details of the debt, which is true,

and that I have approached Lloyds with a subject access request in order to get up to speed with the actual details of the debt

before entering into any arrangements with them or anyone else.

 

What response will I likely receive from them?

The email was calm and professional and didn't indicate an acknowledgment or denial of the debt or the implication that I would refuse to pay.

 

How many times can the debt be passed on?

Why would it be passed on?

Do these DCAs not have the power to go to court?

 

Thanks for any advice....

If one DCA does not get the result it wants the debt will be sold on and will circulate round the debt collection industry.

Yes DCAs if they own the debt can take court action.

 

Fredrikson is now part of the Lowell Group and will be assigned to manage/collect on behalf of Lowell.

 

Hard to predict Lowells response, just really have to wait for the SAR data (they have 40 days to comply).
