    • 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 Everyone

 

Back again as Caboot are back.

 

They appointed Marrlin who wrote to me asking for payment in full on a debt that I believe to be Statute Barred.

Last contact from Arrgos Card Svces was in 2006 when they sent a notice of assigment.

 

Payments continued to Moorcroft, unfortunately I cannot find the paperwork regarding this issue, it may be in attic. which I will need to access later today.

 

I received letter from Reestons yesterday, the letter was dated 7 days prior to me recieving it.

I have to contact them by next Tuesday, if I do not they submit a claim to the county court.

This now leaves me less than 5 days to deal with this issue.

 

Do I advise Reestons that I believe this debt is statute barred? Or that that I dispute the debt? or should i ask them to provide a CCA?

 

I have asked a debt collector in past to provide a CCA which they could not do.

 

I beleive I should now send a SAR to ARrgoos card svcs, is that correct?

 

I think that I should also ask Caboot to provide a CCA? is that correct?

 

 

As this is such an old issue I am not sure where to start with it, and as I have very little time to respond really need to know what to send to REsstons. Whatever i need to send will have to be sent Monday at the latest.

hi renegadeimp

 

thanks, yes I know.

However I havent asked this particular dca for a cca. as this has all happened in a couple of weeks time. I beleive they are relying on me not to reply to proceed with a ccj.

I am not entirely sure if this is just a threat by the solicitors or not, but i have a feeling that they will try to obtain a ccj.

I note you say payments were made to Moorcroft, when did these cease.

 

 

For a debt to become statute barred in England & Wales the cannot have been any payments for 6 clear years and no unequivocal written acknowledgment of the debt.

Unfortunately I cannot recall when the last payment was made to moorcroft. I am still attempting to find more documentation.

I did have contact with cabot in 2006 from what I can gather it was regarding payments, as I have a note on the letter from Cabot to continue with the arrangement with Moorcroft. that letter is dated in late 2006.

 

I will be accessing my loft later to see if I can find any more documents.

 

If I cannot state whent he last payment was and therefore am not sure that it is statute barred, how should I proceed?

If we can get close to that last payment it will certainly help.

How late in 2006 is the Cabot letter dated?

I have just searched my bank statements online and it appears that the last payment made was on 6/4/2009, therefore I was wrong it is not statute barred yet.

 

how should i now proceed?

 

do i request A cccA from REstoons or from Caboot?

 

although no DCA has been able to supply a ccca to date.

 

do I also send a SAR to Arggoos?

Why do you only have till tuesday? Ignore their silly timelines. Theyre chasing me on 2 debts that are well statute barred by at least 5 years and 1 that isnt. Ive had 4 letters for the non sb one that states i have 7 days to reply. I just send them a prove it letter and they send the 7 day one back.

Any advice i give is my own and is based solely on personal experience. If in any doubt about a situation , please contact a certified legal representative or debt counsellor..

CCA to Restons.

Yes CCA to Restons.

 

A SAR to Argos maybe worthwhile.

Hi All Restons replied and the main gist of their letter is as follows: I will upload Restons reply later today as they have returned my request and also stated that a there is no longer an agreement as this terminated when I defaulted on the loan. they refer me to the Judgment of His Honour Judge Simon Brown QC in Rankine v American Express Services Europe Limited. they have not said what their next move is though. should I CCA cabot now? regards Poppay

Anyone chasing you should hold a valid CCA or reconstituted CCA in order to chase you.

That judgement never made sense imo.

 

 

If anyone is chasing a debt there should be an agreement allowing them so to do.

This was a CC account not alone as Restons state.

 

 

Try a CCA to Argos.

Hi Brigadier I am assuming that they are trying to scare me with so called legal 'precedents'. Thank you for pointing out that it is a credit card, or to be precise a store card. which amounts to the same thing. Should I reply with a dispute letter? I have a feeling that they are just itching to begin court proceedings. As Marlin have sent a letter threatening legal action on the Aqua issue, the date on the that letter is Monday which is the date I sent the cca request to them for this issue. It feels as though they cannot wait to send that one on to Restons also. It all feels as though its going through on a conveyor belt system :) Poppay

hi

 

have my internet connection back, just in time too, as I have just recieved a claim form from the county court business centre in Northampton.

 

restons were indeed on a direct course for the courts, despite the request for a cca.

 

do i need to ask CAbot for a cca as they are the client?

I have requested CCAs for this from other debt collectors, even Moorcroft and none were able to supply one.

 

How should I proceed with county court claim? should I say that I dispute the claim? say that no dca has been able to provide a cca? say that I wrote and requested a cca from Restons?

 

I will get cca request and SAR off to ARgos asap.

the Particulars of the claim are:

 

The Claimant claims payment of the overdue balance due from the Defendant(s) under a contract between the Defendants(s) and Arg Card Services Ltd dated on or about 03/01/2002 and assigned to the Claimant on 20/11/2006 in the sum of £1123.04

 

PARTICULARS: A/c no: *************(**

 

DATE ITEM VALUE

01/07/2014 Default Balance £1123.04

Post Refrl Cr NIL

 

TOTAL:- 1123.04

 

Typed verbatim.

I dont think the default balance is right as they are using the this July for the total at default.

there is no other information undedr the PARTICULARS OF CLAIM. Nothing about documentation or anything else.

Cabot likely have no knowledge of the debt or have the paperwork, let alone the correct amount. They seem to be doing lowells trick of using court as a debt collection method, hoping you dont know your rights and keep your head down so they can get the CCJ.

Any advice i give is my own and is based solely on personal experience. If in any doubt about a situation , please contact a certified legal representative or debt counsellor..

Because theyre chancing their luck and hoping to get a CCJ by default. Thats how these companies operate. Even if they cannot enforce the CCJ, theyll still try and get one purely out of spite.

How wonderful to be harangued out of spite !! I guess to them I am nothing but a number and a probable cash cow. However, they do seem a rather nasty bunch from what I am gleaning from posts on this site. despite hating having to deal with it, i certainly will not be just allow them to get a ccj by default. Unfortunately too busy at work to be able to focus on this, will have to take a day off late in the week and so that i can focus on what I need to do next, payday soon so I can get the SAR request off this week too.
