    • 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 had an authorised overdraft with the Abbey National (Now Santander) the account also has charges which i tried to reclaim however I missed out due to the OFT test case

 

The Abbey closed the account as retaliation when they found out I was trying to reclaim charges on my account. The Abbey National registered a default which has now dropped off my credit reports.

 

I have not acknowledged the alleged debt for over 6 years despite every now and again I received a sums in arrears notice.

 

Today I received a letter from Santander informing me that they are passing my account for collection to Robinson Way.

 

As I have not acknowledged the alleged debt for over 6 years nor made any payment as I disputed the outstanding amount. Is this now Statute Barred?

 

Any advice on how to respond would be greatly appreciated.

Hi

I would wait for the letter from Robbers Way, send a 'prove it' (just to make sure of the last transaction is definitely over 6 years) then slap them with the SB and watch them scuttle away with their tails between their legs

Hello there, can you remember when the account was closed? The 6 years would have run from around that point. Given what you've said it appears to be likely that the debt is statute barred.

Hi sequenci ... I am not a 100% sure as to when Abbey National closed my account. I have a box file in the loft of all of the paperwork so I will have a look over the weekend but I am sure they closed the account before they issued a default.

Hi silverfox1961, I will wait until Robbers Way contact me (I'm sure it wont be long). I am 100% sure that the last transaction is over 6 years ago.

UPDATE...

 

Robinson Way have failed to respond to my prove it letters and have continued to send out further demands and are now threatening doorstep collection.

 

I sent RW another letter informing them that they have not responded to previous requests and have told them not to bother sending a doorstep agent to my house. RW have responded today with a very short but sweet letter......

 

 

 

Dear drob

 

Thank you for your recent correspondence. Your internet based template has no foundation or relevance to the debt you owe. Please respond with either a valid dispute or a proposal for payment within the next fourteen days.

 

Yours Faithfully

Collections Monkey

 

 

Maybe it's time to hit them with a Statute Barred Letter?

Double check your credit file just to make sure this debt does not show and if so then yes slap em!

 

If the debt still shows, slap them with a complaint for ignoring your prove it letter

Then as you are sure you paid nothing in the last six years, they can go swivel :roll:

I haven't paid anything to Abbey/Santander since late 2006.

 

The debt was made up purely from fees and charges, however a narrowly missed the boat claiming the charges & fees back.
