    • Just an update for all. I received about a letter every other week, increasing in threat levels. Then I hadn't had one for a about two weeks, then Saturday received a carbon copy of the very first letter they sent me in February. Made me laugh, rinse and repeat.

    • 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.

I have recently purchased a bmw 3 series for £5500 in good faith. only to get a letter after a month stating that the car is owned by first response finance company! i have recently sent them back the questionairre believing i was helping them with their enquiries in order to track the person who owes them money. However, they are now saying to me they want me to give them the car basically. i hope i have some rights as i have the log book at least to prove i am an innocent buyer but they say this isnt enough. i did a hpi which later turns out to be a car check and doesnt say if the car is on hire purchase agreement. but i thought this would state that. what should i do now??

What did the HPI check state? If it said no finance, ask this finance company to prove it.

Any advice i give is my own and is based solely on personal experience. If in any doubt about a situation , please contact a certified legal representative or debt counsellor..

Ok. You need to write to the person who sold it you and tell them concisely what has happened and you want a full refund of your money. Failure to refund your money in 7-14 days ( your choice) means you will be taking legal action in small claims to recover your money.

 

I assume you have the sellers details and picked the car up at their home address and not a car park somewhere?

That is very suspicious. Jam could be right here. You need to make sure the car was actually his. Send the letter as advised first thing tomorrow and see what comes back.

Someone who deals with commercial/civil litigation/debt recovery type work.

 

As far as I am aware, even as a bona fide purchaser you are not protected when it comes to vehicle finance. I may be completely wrong though.

 

Do you have any evidence of the sale? Proof of payment? receipt/invocie?

It depends on the type of finance.

 

If it is hire-purchase, a private buyer who buys the car in good faith will get good title to the car regardless of the finance, and regardless of whether the HP was registered with HPI. Refer to http://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1964/53, section 27.

 

If the car is leased, the analysis is a bit different. If the car was bought from a trader the op would probably be protected (refer to s1 Factors Act 1889), if bought from a private seller then not.

 

This is why it is important to ask the finance company for a copy of the document on which they are basing their claim.

i think your wrong there

The car is owned the by the finance company until it has been paid for. So they can repo it from who ever they want.

 

A dealer/trader would be silly/thick to take a car in with outstanding finance unless it is getting settled.

Handing over that kind of money without a full HPI check is asking for trouble, especially as you didn't go to the seller 's house. The address on the registration document may not be his, and he's got clean away with your money. The car belongs to the finance company and they will want it back. This happened to my brother in law,and he had to pay to get the car back from the finance company.

Lewiso1989, is there any update on this?

 

Asuming what others have said is right and you end with no car and without getting money back from seller it is a criminal fraud on you by the seller and you should go to the police. Whether that ultimately gets you any of your money back only time will tell, but if the seller is prosecuted you'll at least have the satisfaction of knowing the seller hasn't got clean away with it.
