    • 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.

NatWest & APEX - CCA Request Ignored - I want my £1 back! ** Resolved **


wndzr

Recommended Posts

Morning all,

 

I sent off a CCA Request to NatWest around mid-March that was signed for at their Birmingham office on 17/03/2014

- that request included the £1 statutory fee in the form of a postal order.

I have kept the tracking number for this item and have the surname of the signatory.

 

I have since received notification that my debt has been passed on to a company called APEX,

who were actually surprisingly helpful when I rang them.

 

They've advised me to get back in touch with NatWest and in the mean time they will ensure they don't bombard me with calls and letters.

 

When ringing the NatWest call centre, they seemed baffled at my request and insisted on treating me like a standard collections customer

who just doesn't want to pay.

 

Even after explaining that I have submitted a CCA request, they continued to say I need to contact APEX.

 

Note,

I did not send a follow up letter because I wrongly assumed that my initial letter regarding the debt had led them to drop the matter

as I had received no further contact since last week when I received the APEX notification.

 

Just wondering the best way to go about this now, as I am keen to ensure there are no adverse credit score implications.

 

Thanks in advance.

I would not ever be ringing a DCA

 

dx

please don't hit Quote...just type we know what we said earlier..

DCA's view debtors as suckers, marks and mugs

NO DCA has ANY legal powers whatsoever on ANY debt no matter what it's Type

and they

are NOT and can NEVER  be BAILIFFS. even if a debt has been to court..

If everyone stopped blindly paying DCA's Tomorrow, their industry would collapse overnight...

Stay OFF the phone, the phone drones can't divert from the script in front of them.

 

What did you send the CCA for? A loan, credit card? When was the agreement taken out?

Who ever heard of someone getting a job at the Jobcentre? The unemployed are sent there as penance for their sins, not to help them find work!

The phone will promptly be destroyed... Never again!

 

This was for a Staff Travel Loan that was approved and signed off by my manager at the time (whilst working for NatWest).

Then it will be compliant and pretty fruitless requesting it IMO.

 

And what was it for?

A loan creditcard?

I disagree

 

If it is purly so you have a copy for your own records then there is merit to getting a copy in case of future misdemeanors

Your right to verify that anyone has the legal right to claim money and that the amount they claim is correct is beyond doubt.

 

The fact that they have not bean able to produce verification of their legal right to claim the money means you are not legally obliged to pay it.

 

Assuming that your staff loan was covered by the CCA 1974? If not a CCA request is meaningless and explains Natwest's lack of response.

  • 3 weeks later...

NatWest have finally responded saying the debt is not governed by the CCA - as I already knew - and they have agreed to write it off and pay compensation for my wasted time.

It hasn't been specifically mentioned, but I will be asking for it. They have currently offered £30 which I will be laughing at and sending back to them.
