    • Isnt there some indication in there of at least intent to inform arbuthnot? IF he wasn't then it would seem to be Vennells decision to keep him 'uninformed .. Although seems to me if arbuthnot was unaware - he was either incompetent or should have very detailed records of denials. Seems vennells is constantly at the core of all the lying about all these issues though.

    • 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 All,

 

This seems to be a bit of a complex one to me but hoping you guys can clear up what steps to take next if any.

 

Purchased a BMW from a private seller 2 months ago also in Scotland for market value at £5600 and paid cash. The ad was on auto trader and as such I did a mobile car check to make sure it was not stolen or writen off etc.

 

The seller had owned the car for over 3 years after purchasing it from someone down south in England near Carlisle in I believe 2011 from documentation. It was owned by that person in Carlile for what appears to be just under 2 years.

 

Today I received a letter from a Company called Billing Finance Ltd stating.

 

"Dear Sir

 

BMW Registration *My REG* ("The Vehicle")

 

We are the owners of the Vehicle, which is subject to a hire purchase agreement. The Finance outstanding on the Vehicle has not been settled.

 

It has come to our attention that you have recently been registered as the the keeper of the vehicle on June 2014.

 

In order that we can fully review our position in respect of the Vehicle, I enclose a new keeper questionnaire. Please complete the questionnaire and return it to us together with proof of your purchase of the vehicle within 7 days of the date of this letter, failing which the Vehicle will be recovered without further notice.

 

In the meantime whilst we conduct further enquiries, we have the title to the Vehicle and all of our rights remain expressly reserved. You must not dispose of the vehicle and you must keep it safe and insured and within your possession. If you dispose of the Vehicle at this stage then you may be liable to us for conversion. "

 

It then has several pages asking for basically all my personal details such as.

 

My name and address, my employers name and address, Payslips, bank slips, All the purchase details of the vehicle, if I sold my other vehicle to pay for it who did I sell it to and how much and that persons name and address and proof of sale. If I used finance to pay for it who from and copies of agreements.

 

Now what gets me is that I then done a HPi check costing 20 quid and it does indeed show Finance as Below.

 

Outstanding finance

Recorded against VRM and VIN

Description BMW

Date /2008 - Full date here

Finance house BILLING FINANCE LTD

Finance house telephone 01604 402204

Agreement reference ******** - Agreement number was here

Agreement type Hire Purchase

 

The lender owns the vehicle until the loan is fully repaid, including the final 'Option to Purchase' fee.

 

So I phoned the previously seller he was very helpful and claimed he done a HPI check when he bought it and will send this on Wednesday as he's on Holiday (we shall see) but he has not heard a peep from them in 3 years and new nothing about it. I do want to believe him and he has poured thousands over the 3 years to keep the car running as its not a cheap car.

 

So what do I do now. The letter was not sent recorded. Can they legally just come up into Scotland to someone who is the 3rd or 4th owner of the car since the finance and just take it? Will I be liable for the finance? OR do I try and take the person I bought it from to court?

 

Really confused on what to do and not sure if I should contact the finance company they have a really bad reputation from a google search.

 

HELP :(

bottom line is NO without a court order I believe.

 

I've got to admit

though not with billing finance

 

I sort of had the same issue about 5yrs ago

 

2 owners before me had finance on it.

 

got sold down the line

 

4yrs later, just after I bought it

 

I got a similar letter from cyldesdale.

 

I phoned them up and asked whatthis was all about

 

spoke to a very nice lady

that outlined the issues

 

as this was HP, she confirmed there was little they could do about

was not after 'me' nor the vehicle

despite what the letter implied

and that they couldn't take it anyhow as it was HP agreement [no bill of sale nor conditional sale involved]'

 

I gave her the info she wished

[i e where/whom did I et it from

 

3 weeks later got a nice letter stating

thanking me for my help

stating they have no further questions and the vehicle was legally mine.

 

funny thing was

 

we scrapped it 18mts later.

 

lo!! another letter from Clydesdale

same MO

 

luckily I got back to the same woman

 

she said these are auto generated following a DVLA alert

by the finance system everytime a vehicle they have n interest in

has a DVLA update

Thanks, I was also under the impression as HP is not guaranteed on the car like a logbook loan

and that when you buy a car in Scotland its good title as long as market value and your not working with the seller.

 

I also looked up online and it said about having to get a court order for them to come

and randomly steal it from me.

 

Just worried about it and not sure if I should ignore it in case

 

its auto generated like yours or call this company who have a very bad reputation.

pers i'd front them

 

they'll never get a court order for repo.

 

however, what conerns me

and I know its 'wrong'

 

that line in their letter that says:

 

we have the title to the Vehicle and all of our rights remain expressly reserved

we will recover the vehicle.

they should not be saying either of those.

 

if they don't play ball, then me thinks that is reportable to the relevant authority

Who exactly would I go to if they do decide to "steal" the car without a court order?

 

I intend to phone them when they are open tomorrow and let them know that I am in the owner

 

I bought it and in Scotland have good title and that if they want to claim it back I will be happy to go to court while they fight for a possession order.

pers i'd ring and talk to them.

 

if the call does not go the way you want it you simply end it

 

and then we'll deal with it.

 

they may simply be after some simple information

and sent out the generic letter.

 

theres no harm in reminding them they have no rights to 'snach' the car under the HP / CCa rules.

Hello there,

 

There is a little further information (via the CAB) that could help you too. If you purchased the vehicle in good faith, you may be able to argue that you have 'good title' to the vehicle.

Very best wishes,
