    • 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.

Hi Guys,

 

I've been reading the various threads with interest as I have been receiving emails from MMF in relation to an alleged debt to Quick Quid that I believe they purchased from gothia. A default was registered by Gothia on 04/10/10 and their account was marked as satisfied with a debt assigned marker for the last entry in July 2013. I have never received any correspondence or contact from Gothia or Quick Quid prior to the debt being sold. I wasn't even aware that a default had been logged until I received the emails from MMF and checked my credit file.

 

I have not responded to any emails including ones threatening doorstep visits. However in the last couple of weeks I received an email regarding November "special offers" and in the last week or so I received an email entitled County Court Action:

 

xxx: you have chosen not to contact MMF. Your account is being assessed for legal action. Call 0113 8876876 to discuss a solution. Ref: xxxxx

 

I have not received anything in writing, the only contact confirming the creditor and debt amount was the November special email referred to above. However, I moved house after the debt was defaulted by Gothia and am concerned that MMF may have sent notice of assignments or even visited my old address.

 

I am not aware that I owe this money, I have had payday loans previously but I am sure that they were repaid in full.

 

I would like some advice as to how to proceed as I am currently looking at buying a house and further damage to my credit file would make this difficult.

 

Any help would be appreciated.

 

Thanks.

Thanks for the replies guys.

 

One of my concerns about giving this company my current address is that they then turn up on my doorstep, I know that they can't do anything but it would cause a scene.

 

Would it be best to send a CCA letter and a letter refusing doorstep visits? Or am I being silly in thinking that they don't have my address and they have simply chosen not to write to me yet?

 

Thanks
