    • 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!

 

 

i have been away last couple of months from home and

 

 

in that time i have recieved 3 letter from lowells of a debt that was apparently in 2005,

 

 

the last letter havin been sent on 9th march.

 

 

its has suddenly popped up from nowhere.

 

 

I can confirm that in that time i have had no dealings,

phone calls or letters regarding this debt and i am pretty sure it is statue barred.

 

In this last letter they have stated that if i continue to ignore they might take legal actions in court.

 

 

I am uncertain on how to go about the steps in responding to them.

 

Currently i have not responded or taken action until i am absolutely certain on what to do or how to send them a letter.

Could anyone advise me please?

i have never made a payment on this since 2005 or recieved any contact regarding this,

it was for a mobile phone bill but as far as i was concerned i had payed it off in full,

so found it strange i found these letters and since it was so long ago

i dont have any records of it. heres what they wrote in the last letter:

 

Dear Mr ........

 

Your debt reamins outstanding

it is dissapointing that your account remains unpaid. we have written to you on numerous occasions and know of no reason why this balance should not be repaid. If you continue to ignore our requests for payment then you will leave us with no choice other than take action against you to recover the ourstanding balance, which could include legal action through the court.

 

What is the reason for non-payment?

we do appreciate that u did not intend to vall into debt on this account when it was originally opened. However, your outstanding balance needs to be repaid and you need to allow us to work with you so that we can understand any reason for non-payment and help you repay the debt at an amount you can afford. Please contact us as soon as possible to discuss your account.

If you cannot afford to take up one of these offers, we cana gree a repayment plantailored to your financial curcumstances. please call xxxxxxxxx.

 

So me having read this got me a worried that they are threatening action into court. The previous 2 letters were not like this. Is it really okay to ignore this. I could pay off the fine as it is not a significant amount but i dont feel as i should have too and if i do will it open up a can of worms as to all those other months in these 10 years in which they will then after me paying off this fee, will charge me intrest on those remaining months :???:

Hi,

 

The above letter is just a standard computer threatogram, the computer is timed to print these out and send out to you at set intervals.

 

Please note the wording in the first paragraph...

which could include legal action through the court

It does not say WILL, that is the important part, it is a letter with an included play on words.

 

Why would you pay off the fine when the debt is clearly Statute Barred?

 

Just file the letter away and enjoy your evening.

missed a line, sorry :)

NEVER telephone a DCA

If a DCA rings you, refuse to go through the security questions & hang up!
