    • Hello, firstly thank you for reading this. I know no one wants a long winded back story. So I’ll be breif. I entered a local store to buy some paint (which I did pay for) I am honestly not a bad person or a theif.   Didn’t have a basket or trolly as was on my lunch break. Whilst picking up the three tubs of paint placed some masking tape in my pocket (it was hanging out of so I had every intention to pay) just didn’t have a hand free. Paid for my goods (forgot about the £4.39 masking tape) I’ve got so much going on and im not well at all (like I say no one cares I get that) also have autism so wasn’t thinking particularly like others do maybe (who knows my minds going around and around) I left the store after paying, was pulled back in by security. Asked for the tape which I gave immediately  shook up. Gave them my ID and details. I was given some paper and told to expect a large fine in the post for their time and the tape and sent on my way. my questions are: I hardly ever go out without support so the ban I guess I can’t go there now for anything (their loss) - ok but is my photo going to be all over with my name? how much am I expecting in the post as a fine? I have sent them cash in the post recorded signed for delivery to arrive tomorrow (incident happened today) for my error. Their Address was on the bit of paper. i have read two posts on this page but they were from many many years ago so I hoped for updated advise please? 
    • V important you read lots of BMW threads too !  
    • So should I send them a new SAR and put my date of birth on it? Or do I need to send them some proof? Driving license? 
    • Thanks so much for your help!! I've emailed them, and when they reply saying they can't do it I'll reply and state my rights. I'm so glad I found this forum, and will read all of the posts I can find and help guides available for the future. Really can't thank you enough.
    • utter BS, doesn't matter you signed it. pers i'd be writing as per the other threads here rejecting the car as not as described under CRA etc and be done with it. as its a debit card you could also do a full chargeback within 120 days to your bank and simply dump the car back to BMW. 100's of like threads to read here. get your ducks inline. make sure you know what you are doing and off you go. dont take any BS from BMW, no matter what you sign it does NOT remove your consumer rights. p'haps it might be on the off chance you are a good manager , a quick phonecall tomorrow saying you dont want it because (no bla bla fitted) it might be resolved in 5 mins..i will guess to date you not tried

    • 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 i'm new to this bear with me,

 

I have just received a letter from Paratus AMC claiming i owe Mortgage Arrears of xxxxx for a house i don't own or have made any payments too.

 

 

There is no address as to the Mortgage Arrears or information,

just they want me to contact them ASAP to pay Arrears.

 

After doing some digging it appears on my credit file i have a Financial connections to people whom i knew

and it is going back to 8 years ago the date im linked,

it looks like someone has signed my name for a Mortgage /Re-mortgage.

or they are fishing sending out a letter to everyone with same name in hope.

 

I have received a letter from a Company a few days later from TLT which states Paratus LTD AMC v Yourself "

We confirm our client has instructed us to cancel the recent warrant request

and we have written to the court accordingly." that's all it say's.

 

Are this Company following proper procedures.?

 

I have no knowledge of this debt they request,

all help to respond to these reptiles would be gratefully received thanks.

I think you need to write back recorded delivery asking them to disclose documents from the original creditors which evidence that you have any connection to this debt. State that you have never had any connection to address x and certainly have never applied for any loan or acted as a guarantor in relation to it.

We could do with some help from you.

If the financial connection is wrong inform the CRA and disassociate yourself.

Thanks for the replies guy's Paratus AMC LTD are the creditor looking for over £2,000 as 2 people are linked to me in my credit file but no Mortgage is on my file as i don't have one or own a house even now.

 

It could be Paratus AMC are just sending out letters in hope i am going to pay, there must be procedures they must follow and have to prove the debt is mine which its not.

What is your relationship to these 2 people ?

 

Paratus would have to prove that you are financially liable for this debt, because you applied for a loan or signed to be a guarantor for a loan. Hence why I suggested that you write to ask them for this proof.

We could do with some help from you.

Thanks for reply i knew them as friends and stayed over at there house, i never signed for any loans etc i moved away from the area over 8 years ago and never heard from them. It seems if they have my name on a document they must have forged my signature , i don't understand i didn't have anything what so ever to do with the house. If the house gets repossessed it has nothing for me to lose or gain.

I have never signed for a Mortgage it could have been GMAC as Paratus AMC are same company from all accounts, why would anyone sign for such thing when you don't own the house. On my credit file this mortgage is not shown i haven't paid any money towards this Mortgage.

If you have never had any financial relationship with these two people, you should complete the Experian form that someone linked to earlier. If your credit record shows some financial link from just living at the house, that is a bit odd and you need to get it corrected.

 

You should write back to Paratus to find out what they are up to, asking for evidence. If you find out that these two friends may have included you in some financial arrangement without your permission, you will need to report this to the Police via the Action Fraud helpline.

just the financial 'link' which should not be showing after all these years.

Unless you are not being open here and there is some financial link, I would send a specific letter saying that you have never had any loan or acted as a guarantor related to address x and ask for proof of any financial relationship with x company. The standard prove it letter is generic and I don't think deals with the situation.

Thanks for reply,

 

I'm being open and honest, i met and knew these people for about 4 months i stayed at the house till my rented flat was ready this was in 2006, i was never in any financial ties with these people and i don't recall signing anything for any credit or Mortgage. It would seem if my name is on a credit agreement it would have been forged the dates would seem it would have been GMAC then Paratus AMC are the known company now. If this person has not made the payments to the Mortgage they will probably get the house repossessed and the fact it is not mine i'm not on the deeds, never made a payment in 8 years i don't give a monkey's, it's just the fact i'm getting a letter to pay the arrears that is the problem.

 

I have received one letter from Paratus AMC to my new address in 8 years and one letter from TLT as quoted in letter from OP.

 

Should i wait and see if another letter comes out from Paratus AMC and TLT then take it further and get a solicitor, or contact them now asking for proof without a solicitor.

Write to them now asking for proof of any financial relationship. Advise them that you only lived at the address x for 4 months as a temporary guest. You have never taken out a loan or acted as a guarantor.

 

You need to get to the bottom of this, as to why they are writing to you and why there is a financial link on your credit report. It may just be a mistake that you have been linked because you registered something at the address. Perhaps you had Car Insurance or a bank note the address. It may be nothing to do with your friends adding your name and forging your signature.

 

The only way you will find out, is by writing to Paratus and waiting for a reply.
