    • 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.

Second letter from Hamptons today.

 

They are now assessing my account to decide their options.

 

It depends on the amount owed etc etc.

 

Then goes on with the usual threat o gram re CCJs.

 

We're now 1 month and 2 weeks away from a statute barring.

Another week down, 10 days and 1 month now till the 6th birthday of acknowledging this debt.

 

Every day now I'm expecting that Bryan Carter letter. Crossing fingers!

 

Not heard from Hamptons since that letter 2 weeks ago in October. Quite surprised I haven't had a second chase letter.

 

Hope everyone is well!

Just had a letter with a final warning. If I don't respond by November 1st. They will carry out their decision which is either legal action or pass it to a specialist debt collector who may come see me in person to discuss repayment.

 

Their offer also include a 50% full and final payment of 4k.

Typical Lowell, thumb up bum brain in neutral response.

 

 

"We could may even might take sour action but all we can do really is send round some oik with no more authority than the usual company " script" to collect my doorstep ."

 

 

Discount is a give away too!!

Probably won't matter.

 

The debt has been sold so the right of set off does not exist hence the money should come to you.

 

It could be that HSBC may buy the debt back in order to carry out a set off and SB won't affect the above two scenarios.

 

SB is purely to do with enforcement by the courts, nothing else.

I have a savings account with another HSBC subsidiary that they in theory could have offset against. I'm surprised they never did, It didn't really strike me as a possibility in the past.

 

I have my ISA with HSBC, a Car Loan that i'm currently paying monthly, my credit card, I've just had a mortgage approved by them.

 

It's almost like they never linked the two accounts together?

 

Could they buy the debt back and offset against my savings, which is the deposit which i'm getting a mortgage based on.

Maybe because this one is HFC and your others are "proper" HSBC" they haven't made the link. Different banks but under the same group so it is not impossible that they haven't twigged.

Is there anything I can do now to run a bit of delaying tactics, it's now 3 weeks and 4 days till statute barring. I would feel a lot better if this never hit the court, even though I'll defend it as hard as I can in court.

This debt is now well and truly statute barred.

 

 

Lowell instructed a 3rd party to carry on collection,

 

 

they sent me two letters asking for money

 

 

then a third letter saying it's been returned to Lowell.

 

 

Not heard from Lowell since.

 

 

Thanks for all the advice on this guys.

 

 

Well chuffed it's now hopefully over.
