    • 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.

Moorcroft contacted me 3 months ago regarding an old Lloyds TSB account I had which had an outstanding overdraft that I owed.

 

I am currently unemployed and receiving Jobseekers so I have very little disposable income. I made an offer of £1 per month, which Moorcroft accepted. I had a letter from Moorcroft this morning asking for a detailed income & expenditure statement.

 

I have already made 3 payments of £1, why are they now asking for an I&E statement? They can go and whistle as they are lucky they are getting £1 per month.

No obligation to send Morecrap an I&E form. Is interest still being added? Why are they involved?? Have you had annual statements??

 

The debt was for going into an unauthorised overdraft. I disputed the charges until blue in the face and even made a complaint to the F.O.S who ruled in favour of the bank ....

 

Lloyds TSB have passed the account to Moorcrap for collection and no interest is being added to the outstanding balance.

It is standard practice to send an I&E as it reaffirms that the offer is a pound is a fair and reasonable one. The whole notion of not sending one is pretty daft. Any debt advice organisation worth their salt will tell you to send one. It isn't obligatory of course, but not sending one can sometimes cause further grief that could have been avoided.

They should have sent an I&E request before accepting my offer of £1 per month (reviewed after 5 months) rather than sending it after receiving my 3rd payment.

 

Moorcroft accepted my offer so I will not be filling completing an I&E statement.

Would agree with you drob.

 

I personally would not be paying Morecrap but would pay the bank direct - then it is going to the OC.

 

The bank closed my account and now Lloyds TSB insist that I pay Moorcroft...

Who actually owns this debt? You should never pay a dca without checking the validity of the debt. Especially with a bottom feeder such as moorcrap.

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..

 

 

If my advice helps you, click the star icon at the bottom of my post and feel free to say thanks

I presume Lloyds TSB own the debt as they are still recording data to the CRA's and I have not received any notices of assignment.

Then tell moorcrap to sod off and pay lloyds direct. They cannot refuse to accept a payment towards the debt.

It's perfectly the norm to request an I&E form every few months or so. The general rule is six monthly. I do agree, however, agree that this should have all be done at the start.
