    • none of their ruddy business! and if they have been pressuring you in o borrowing from friends and family .. THAT IS WRONG AND AGAINST THE REGULATIONS...if you have that in B&W you need to REPORT THEM. once a debt is defaulted and it gone from your file it can never come back. not without a fight in court you won't. i think you are getting confused here , just because you've been paying 'creditors' via and IVA it does NOT mean the debt can re-appear on your file, and it does not mean you are more likely to get more CCJ attempts. statute barring is 6yrs from a debts last payment, but that can't change anything on your credit file. i really wish you hadn't sent that letter. please dont do anything more now unless you check with us first..no calls, in/out. no emails in/out no letters in/out....thats if you want our help.... NONE OF THEIR BUSINESS STOP GROVELLING to them. could have been worded alot better and more forcefully. dx

    • Well that will lead to more backdoor CCJs. I think you need to complain to all and sundry.  Let's start with the BPA.  The BPA are PE's mates, so they will never decide that PE have done anything wrong.  But that's not the point, correspondence between the two may lead to PE promising to write to the Scottish address, which is all you want.  Check the below for accuracy as methinks you have sent more correspondence that what I've quoted.  How about something like - Dear BPA, Re : Parkingeye Ltd PCN no.XXXXX, Claim no.XXXXX PCN no.XXXXX I am writing to complain about your above-mentioned member. I understand of course that you cannot enter into the merits of why a PCN was issued. The reason for my complaint is that, instead of writing to me at my address at XXXXX, Scotland, your member insists in writing to me at XXXXX, England, which is an address which I have never lived at.  I have always resided at the Scottish address.  The address registered with the DVLA for the vehicle is my Scottish address. I first because aware of this mess when the person who lives at the English address kindly contacted me, to tell me that a County Court Judgement for me had arrived at that address.  I requested that Parking Eye agree to a set aside by consent.  However, they refused.  I ended up paying £XXX despite having had no chance to defend myself. Regardng the second PCN, I attach correspondence dated XX February and XX March.  The latter was a complaint - which your operator has completely ignored.  Even worse, they have instructed debt collecting agencies twice to write to the English address.  On top of this, the person at the English address is moving out next week which means I am in danger a second time of losing a court case by default. I would therefore like to complain about your operator and would request that you instruct them to do what should be a simple thing - to write to me at my correct address. Yours, XXXXX

    • 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, my other half bought a Land Rover a week ago on 18/04/14. It has 12 months MOT on it but when he has gone to see a land rover specialist, they have said the car should never have past MOT and is unfit for road with the amount of rust on it (even has holes on the wheel arches when you open the door its rusted that bad). He has been in touch with the MOT garage and they have said they will do all the work for free but when he rang the dealer that sold it him he went mad at him saying it was nothing to do with him. Can any one shed some light on where we go with the dealer that sold it him because surely he is in the wrong for selling us a car unfit for road use. Thanks

Take it back as being not fit for purpose and not of merchantable quality. Demad a full refund. you may ahve to leave the vehicle but you cant drive it anyway so no loss there. warn the dealer that you will be seeking to recover any additional costs incurred between now and when he pays up.

Thanks for reply. When he rang him he said hes not taking it back for a refund as it has 12 months mot on it and to him there was nothing wrong with it! But I think he was in on the bent mot so he didn't have to pay for the work to be done before selling it.

I would say this is more down to the garage, not the dealer.

 

Worth reporting it to VOSA, and get them to test it again at the same garage, if they find major issues (which they sure will), then the MOT garage / tester will get punished for it. No wonder the garage are offering to fix it for free!!

 

Perhaps offer to sell it to the garage? ;)

You dont ring and ask, you go round and demand, leaving a letter with the dealer saying exactly what the problem is and making it clear that it is your right under the SoGA to have a full refund as you dont accept the goods because of the reasonds given..

I just love these posts from people who say get VOSA involved having never seen the car involved. If it's a Land Rover on a ladder chassis then it can have holes in the bodywork. Makes little or no effect to the rigidity of the vehicle.

 

Which land rover is it first????????????

 

Again people jump to conclusions before the full facts are known.

heliosuk,

 

What's the problem with reporting to VOSA ???????????????? (My post #6, JoeyJoeC #7 and renegadeimp #8 )

 

Seeing as the OP states that an Independent Land Rover specialist has said the car is unroadworthy. (See post #1)

 

I would have thought reporting to VOSA was very good advice.

Sorry but this is a support and advice forum. People offer advice based on what the OP has posted. Based on what the OP posted, mentioning a specialist has inspected the vehicle, it would be worth taking it up with VOSA.

Then perhaps the OP will state what Land Rover it is???? Perhaps also age and mileage plus price paid???

 

Rust is very subjective and there are clear guidelines as to what is acceptable and what is not. A general rule is excessive corrosion within a set distance of a load bearing area. Wings do not necessarily fall under this.

 

Like I say, people jump to conclusions so perhaps a bit more from the OP first?

 

This is a support and advice forum as you point out but it needs to be good advice and support based on more detailed facts rather than loose canons going off!!

heliosuk,

With all due respect to a fellow CAGGER (No insult intended or implied)

 

What has the "Model, age, milage and price got to do with it ???

The car is "unroadworthy"........ Independent Land Rover specialist.

Trying to advise OP correctly, Going on Post # 1

Garages have higher standards for vehicle inspections than what is required for a MOT. The MOT standard is a low minimum that's not much above what would be considered scrap.

 

The definitive opinion as to the vehicles MOT condition would be that of VOSA, not of a garage who habitually use a service standard rather than people who are trained to inspect to the MOT standard using MOT inspection methods and tools.
