    • 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 I would like your views on this as I am not sure where I stand so here goes,

 

 

I had a phone contract with Vodafone and I was coming to the end of my contract I received a letter of which I will add to this post and it states outstanding balance £90.66 and potential termination fee £13.20 and I quote from the letter

 

 

"We need to make you aware that if you do not pay the outstanding balance within 7 days, we will end your agreement and no longer provide the services to you. You would still need to pay the line rental the line rental for the minimum period-the potential amount is shown above.

 

 

Outstanding balance :£90.66

Potential termination fee:£13.20

 

 

I never paid the bill and have received a debt collection letter from FREDRICKSON asking for £197.35 as outstanding balance

I have got 14 days to pay or start legal action with additional costs:

 

 

Outstanding Balance to pay now:197.35

Court Fees: £25.00

Solicitor costs :£50.00

New Balance if proceedings are issued :£272.35

 

On top of all this,

I belong to the Experian Credit Expert site and have looked at my file on Vodafone

of which was updated yesterday (21/9/2014) as defaulted and owing £157.00 which is a completely different figure.

 

 

my question is

 

 

 

 

what should I do,

I am going to add this Vodafone letter and any feedback will be much appreciated i feel the bill should be no more than

 

 

£90.66 + £13.20 = £103.86

 

 

Please help thanks Paul

you need to redact that letter.

 

 

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...

Please can anyone help

 

 

I would like to know if I have a case as I have a letter from Vodafone and I quote

 

 

"We need to make you aware that if you do not pay the outstanding balance within 7 days,

we will end your agreement and no longer provide the services to you.

 

 

You would still need to pay the line rental the line rental for the minimum period

-the potential amount is shown above."

 

my way of thinking

how can they charge £197 when on the letter it states £90.66 + £13.20 potential termination fee

 

so surely the bill should be no more than

£103.86 as it sates in letter ending all services and end agreement
