    • Under the consumer rights act 2015, if a defect manifests itself within 30 days and you have a right to return the vehicle for a full refund. If any defect manifests itself within the first six months of ownership then you have a right to return the vehicle for a full refund subject to the retailers right to carry out a repair. If the retailer declines to repair or if the repair fails then you have the right to return. The problem here is that you have to assert their right. It's a bit ridiculous – but you have to do let them know preferably in writing that you are asserting your rights under the consumer rights act either the 30 day right or the six month right. I suppose that you haven't done this – which would be quite understandable because most people don't know that these rights exist and that they are subject to these conditions – the condition that the right must be inserted. It is frankly ridiculous. The dealers know it and we have lots of instances of this company delaying appointments et cetera and our strong suspicion is that they are simply trying to run their customers out of time. On the basis that you haven't asserted your rights, we now have to look to ordinary contract law. You are entitled to purchase a vehicle which is of satisfactory condition and which remains that way for a reasonable period of time. Clearly it is in satisfactory. They are blaming you. Has your independent inspection identified the reason for the defect? This will be important because as you have seen BMW are already saying it is down to your driving and you are going to have to produce evidence that it wasn't down to your driving and the you drove it absolutely reasonably and it was simply the condition of the car. Have you been without the car for any period of time. Is it driveable now? If the car was off the road for a substantial amount of time and was still off the road then you would be able to argue that this is a fundamental breach of contract and that you have been deprived of substantially the whole benefit of the contract and therefore you will be entitled to treat the contract as breached by Big Motoring World and insist on cancelling the contract. It may be that you will eventually be obliged to keep the car but have the repairs paid for. Have you had any quotations for the work that needs doing? I asked you questions about the MOT – but you haven't responded.
    • A 'violent left wing mob', comprised of a chap in a red hoody with a damp polystyrene coffee cup and a bit of wet cement, gets nowhere near cowering frightened farage some distance away on top of his double decker bus .. as farages security and support seem to film the incident grinning     Farage bravely flinches, grimaces and seems to almost burst into tears as the 'objects managed to travel a part of the way toward his position on top of his bus. His reactions honed by having a bit of milk splash him at a prior incident allow him to swiftly fall into a protective cower and grimace .. .. Sometime after, once the mob of 1 had been safely bundled away, farage apparently wipes his eyes of tears, and rising from his cowed and frightened pose, bravely shouts “I will not be bullied or cowed by a violent left-wing mob who hate our country.” .. however few they may comprise of.   https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/crime/nigel-farage-cement-barnsley-reform-uk-b2560501.html  
    • According to Parkopedia parking is limited to two hours.  I don't know how accurate this is though. What were you doing there for four hours?
    • no its friday 21st by 4pm if you'd done it properly and read the sticky in post 2 it clearly says: ^^^^^ NOTE : WHEN CALCULATING THE TIMELINE - PLEASE REMEMBER THAT THE DATE ON THE CLAIMFORM IS ONE IN THE COUNT [example: Issue date 01.03.2014 + 19 days (5 days for service + 14 days to acknowledge) = 19.03.2014 + 14 days to submit defence = 02.04.2014] = 33 days in total Date of issue XX + 19 days ( 5 day for service + 14 days to acknowledge) = XX + 14 days to submit defence = XX (33 days in total)  if your defence filing date falls on a W/End, you must file by friday @4PM

    • 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 JJ, it can be anything between 4 and 6 weeks away from the court hearing date. I would be surprised if it is sooner than that. Wait and see if the court papers arrive (sometimes they threaten the court date to scare you into paying up). We'll deal with them appropriately if they arrive.

 

Try not to worry too much - there's always something that can be done.

 

 

Thanks Ell-enn...not worried looking forward to donning my boxing gloves...was not sure if this was a pay up now type of letter ( like I have £9000 tucked away under the mattress)..

Judging by the payments I have made it's not like Halifax have had nothing for a year so really confident for the coming months..

Morning Ell-enn..

Got my court summons today and hearing is on 27 April.

Letter dated 18th March and got it today 23rd.

Firstly I belive I have 14 days to reply is that right ?

Should I contact the court and let them know I have just got it ?

 

Secondly most of the items seem pretty straight forward such as budget and expenditure but may need some assistance with items such as reason for arrears..( I have a few valid reasons but need to put them in correct terms)

I am certainly going to court although the nice lady on the phone at Walker Morris said they were going for sus repo there claims are the missing mortgage arrears but also showing my last three months payments , though I have to add they have not included March as a full payment ( paid £20 two weeks ago plus the contractual to pay Mar 31st which was agreed with solicitors ) so this will be a plus payment when I get to court.

One other thing I may not be able to pay Aprils full payment until the last working day then again I may get paid on the Friday when the case is to be heard..either way I can make the payment...should I note that on the document to send back ?

Hi there, I assume you have received a Claim for Possession together with an N11M defence form? You have until 14 days before the hearing to submit the N11M but in reality courts will accept them up to a week before - so we have plenty of time to get a statement together for Q.27 of the defence form, and I can help you with that.

Sleepingdog let me just say your information has been vital and brilliant at the same time.It is good that somebody else has been in this situation especially dealing with the same company and without the advice from yourself and Ell-enn I would be going around in circles looking at a repossessed house by now.

Your postition seemed to be worse than mine yet you got back on track and managed to save your house..which has made me more determined than ever to fight for this rather than just turn up at court and sit like a nodding dog..in fact I am looking at getting charges and costs removed at least if not I have all the figures in front of me plus plenty of correspondence which proves this action need never have been taken...

I shall keep you posted.

In the meantime on a slightly different note I have a few letters to send off to DCA's about reclaiming charges and plan to contribute to this excellent site after my court case...keep up the good work all..

Hi Ell-enn..

I have recieved a letter from Walker Morris (dated 23 March) basically saying I have not got in touch and produced an expenditure sheet or offered a payment plan if I do not notify them they will go for order of repossession blah blah,you must attend court etc etc..

Yet I also have a letter dated 12 Mar stating that the current payment proposal was accepatable.

I spoke to the numpty's this morning and a rather helpful lady said not to worry is a standard letter sent out by mistake and payment plan was still acceptable (hello left hand and right not working )

I have kept all the documents which should look good when I get to court but I am mighty peeved that I may be getting charged for each letter coming out.

Should I get them to confirm the payment plan in writing again ?

Also do I need to inform the court I will be attending as I have not done this yet.

Re N11 form the solicitors have sent me a similar one so should I get that to tally with the courts form when asking for the reason behind the arrears ?

Hi there, what form have the solicitors sent? you shouldn't need to fill in any more forms for the Claimant if you already have a payment plan accepted in writing.

 

Have you started to fill in the N11M yet? let me know when you get to Q.27 if you need help with a statement.

It is a income and expenditure form with a section at the end asking for reasons of arrears,but I sent that to Halifax previously..to be honest dont want to fill another form in when I have sent expenditure to the Halifax months ago...

Nearly completed N11 so will speak to you about Q27..

Ell-enn..on the N11M form i have a few queries on some of the questions :

Q2 - Disputing the claim...agreeing with what is said about the property and particular of claim.. should I say yes or no ?

(most of it describes what the mortgage rates have been etc)

 

Q5 - Should the court see if the original terms of the agreement are fair - yes or no ?

 

Q7 - Have you paid any money since the claim was issued.

Would this be from when the first action was taken - ie a letter in January saying Halifax are taking court action or when I recieved the court summons letter which is March.

Q27 -

The arrears were due to loss of job,contract job with irregular payments and seperating from wife in that order..

 

Not asking much am I...lol..

Hi JJ, statement for Q.27 affixed. You just need to enter the info where there are XX's and blanks. When you print it out make sure your printer is set for A4 paper (not Letter size) and that it all stays on one page.

 

You'll need to take a copy of everything before you hand it into the court (or send by recorded delivery). You've got until 14 days before the hearing to hand it in so if you will be making another payment before then add that to the list of payments in the statement (affix proof of payment if you can).

 

Any questions, just shout.

Fantastic..thanks for taking time out to do that...

Just as a side note is it worth mentioning the charges on this account which have no doubt occured over the last year and a half, or is that jumping too far ahead ?

To be honest getting the possession put to one side is the main priority.

 

One other thing as mentioned before I have an expenditure form to fill in for the Solicitors,should I fill in,send back and keep a copy for court ?

One other question..should I mention to the judge the letters recieved from solictors with one dated 12 March showing an arrangement plan and the other dated 23rd March stating if I do not pay arrears or come to an arrangement then the Halifax will go for repossession.I know these are standard letters and I have discussed this over the phone with the solicitors but it would be nice to show the judge that despite my communication they were still churning out these wonderfully crafted letters.

Or should I include these with my other documentation to be sent to the court ?

Hi there, I've amended your statment (affixed) You need to write claim number and Appendix 3 on the two letters and affix with everything else.

 

Kind Regards

Subbing with great interest. I am also in arrears with the Halifax and have found this thread very informative.

Good luck JJ69.

 

Hi Pab10...

All I can say is don't give in...the guys on this forum have been excellent..up to Dec last year I was in danger of losing my house due to paying idiot DCA's instead of putting it towards my mortgage.Now I am ready to go to court tomorrow if need be....

I have paid my contractual today +£50 but I also paid about £20 two weeks ago so all in my favour.

Three months full payments plus extra on top..

I have all letters sent to and from the Halifax over the last three months including the rejection of my payment offer in Jan which strangely enough is exactly what I am doing now and have been for the last three months.

Any advice please ask but one of the most important things I have learned on here is EVERYTHING IN WRITING !!

Keep pestering the Halifax and send recorded letters to them..pay what you can even if it's only £10 every other week.

I am now tackling my other arrears with loans via the Debt collection section..
