    • 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.

OLD Egg loan agreement with PPI letter from wilkin chapman solicitors

Hi there, after some advice please. I

 

defaulted on an Egg loan years ago after getting into serious financial difficulties,

 

had heard nothing from Egg or DCA's for at least 3 years and

 

then Brittanica recoveries sent me a letter in June 13,

 

I CCA'd them and after months sent me an agreement (attached).

 

I wrote back to say that there were no terms and conditions and that PPi had to be shown separately

(read that somewhere on here)

 

this debt dropped off my credit file some months ago,

 

my theory was that it is now Statute barred,

 

I have never acknowledged this debt or made any payments for years,

it was passed from one DCA to another in the beginning,

but has been quiet for at least 3 years until

out of the blue Britannica/Arrow Global stared chasing.

 

I then got a letter from Wilkin Chapman Solicitors in September acting on behalf of Britannica asking for my repayment proposals.

 

I stated that the debt was SB and they said the last payment made was 14th December 2008,

 

I asked for proof of this but they have not been able to provide it,

 

but they have sent me a copy of the CCA - same one Britanica sent me.

 

I read somewhere on here that if the agreement has the PPI and amount of credit lumped together

then the agreement would be unenforceable??

 

Is that right??

 

Can someone please advise

 

 

Im just wondering how to respond to Wilkin chapmans latest letter,

do I go down the unenforceable route or the Statute barred route.

 

I don't want to reclaim the PPI because that would be acknowledging the debt wouldn't it?

 

As it dropped off my credit file I don't know when I made the last payment,

but the agreement was made in 2004 after they sent me a letter telling me I had been pre-approved for a loan.

 

Do I claim that its statute barred unless they can provide proof it isn't?

 

Wilkin Chapman have asked to respond within 7 days so any advice on how to proceed would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

can you PDF your attachments please

 

there are instances whereby the PPI must be separately listed

however, I wouldn't look at that route.

 

you need to SPECIFICALLY ask WCS for PROOF of the payment

 

who by

where

what method.

when.

 

as for the PPI

time to get reclaiming!

 

have you got all the statements.

Hi thanks for this, but if the debt is statute barred or soon to be, if I start reclaiming am I not then acknowledging the debt?

 

No I don't have all the statements which is why i can't say for certain when the last payment was made the statement wcs has sent me is from 2011. I got into financial difficulties in 2007 so with it coming off cra`s a couple of months ago, I took it last payment would have been around that time?

You must insist that proof of the alleged payment is provided.

 

Have they stated in writing that it cannot be proved?

 

Try this to Wilkin Chapman

 

Sir/Madam,

 

I refer to your letter dated xx.xx.xxxx., in reply to my notification that the alleged debt for £xxxx.xx originating from an account with xxxxxxxxxx.

 

Wilkin Chapman claim that a payment of £xx.xx was made on xx.xx.xxxx but has failed to provide any proof that any such payment was made by me, therefore unless unequivocal proof of any such payment is provided I do not acknowledge any liability to your client.

 

I consider that the alleged debt is statute barred and I will Not make any payment or offer of payment in regard to the alleged debt.

 

The onus of providing unequivocal proof that the alleged debt is not statute barred falls entirely upon your client I do not have to prove otherwise.

 

Unless Wilkin Chapman provide the information required with in 7 days of the date hereon I will consider the matter closed and no further correspondence will be entered into.

 

Recorded/signed for post is best.

Any Letters I Draft are N0T approved by CAG and no personal liability is accepted.

Thanks for reply.

 

Ha no it doesn't your right!!

 

It says they will advise their client to proceed with county court proceedings....

. It's just odd that no one has chased this in years & now all of a sudden they are on my case.

 

Should I ignore it then or sar egg?

 

Just noticed that they appear to be issuing court summons on old egg loans out of the blue on other threads,

so want to try & stall them for 7 months if poss!!

Nearly £7k but with 25% off I suppose its £5.5k.

 

Just thought there was an issue with the enforceability of the agreement

and thats why no-one has pushed it till now.

 

Again, I dont know whether its scare tactics or they really will take court action.

 

Is it worth sending them a letter saying Im SAR -ing EGG so it may stall them?

 

While Im thinking about it Im not actually sure I recieved an assingment ltter form EGG

telling me its been asigned to them, might it be worth asking them for this also?

Brittanica have become more litigious of late and for a debt this size could well start a claim which will restart the SB clock the day it is issued. Wilkin C. an are more likely to push for litigation.

Which is my worry.

 

Im wondering what I should do or say that will stall them for a while.

 

Im not convinced the statements theyve provided are real,

 

I know an SAR would reveal this.

 

What do you think my plan of attack should be then please?

 

I guess I need to respond to the letter theyve sent threatening Court action,

otherwise they'll think Im ignoring them ...

 

... Any ideas of what my response should be please?
