    • 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'm looking for advice/comments etc please

 

I was made bankrupt 3 years ago and within that bankruptcy was a loan to a building society.

 

Recently a letter dropped through letter box stating that my wife owed the money and that it was going to court in northampton.

 

Immediately applied on their online service to state that she would be disputing the debt

and wrote to them with a request for the original documents to be provided, which they seemingly ignored,

 

the next correspondence was a judgement made against her saying that she was liable for the debt.

 

Have applied to the court (hearing this Thursday 14th) for judgement to be set aside.

 

We genuinely cant recall whether it was a joint loan, or just taken out by me,

and wife says that if proven that she will arrange to repay,

but as we are not sure, we have taken this course of action.

What prospects do you think that we have?

so what defence are you using at the set aside hearing that she doesn't owe this money?

 

 

the fact that you were made BK has no bearing

as you are both equally liable if she signed the agreement.

 

 

more info needed on the debt please

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...

Sorry, I didnt put on the OP, we had ajoint account, but genuinely couldnt recall whether it was a joint loan or just taken out by myself, hence the request for the original documents, which have not been provided. Debt is approx £6,000.

So an acknowledgement of service was given but no defence issued by the deadline?

I dont fully understand what you are saying,

 

 

but assume you mean that she applied online to say that she would be defending,

 

 

but then did nothing until after the decision.

 

 

This was what she actually did,

having no real knowledge of the court process,

and was waiting for some sort of response to acknowledge the proposed defence,

 

 

and as you know, the hearing went ahead in her absence with no notice of when it was taking place

Forget about what you did and didnt do with regards to the claim....first port of call is to find out if it was included in your Bankruptcy petition.

 

Second....when one partner is made bankrupt, they are no longer be liable for any debts that you have jointly with them. However, you (wife) will still be liable for the full amounts.

 

Your creditors could pursue you (wife) for payment of the full amount of any joint debts you have with your bankrupt partner. This is because when you take out a joint credit agreement, you both agree to be responsible for the full amount of the debt.

 

This is called joint and several liability.

 

Regards

 

Andy

It was included in the bankruptcy,

 

 

the new issue is whether my wife is liable, as we/she cannot recall taking out a joint loan,

 

 

and thought it was a single loan for myself.

 

 

she requested to see the original or copies of the original documents, and they havent provided this.

 

My worry is turning up for the hearing and they suddnely produce these mystical documents,

 

 

or would they have already provided them if they have them?

Because you didnt submit a defence and go through the process of the claim.......you have missed the opportunity of disclosure and requesting sight of the agreement.

Even to do a section 77 request now...it wont be complied with in time for your set a side.

 

The only thing I can suggest is to talk to the creditor and ask was it a joint or single application....have you not got any old statements or documents in connection with the loan?

Thanks for the response, the quick answer is we have no evidence of anything, I suppose if we did, we wouldnt be in this position. Im suspecting we should not go ahead with the hearing as, from what you are saying, we dont have any proper reason for the judge to set it aside.
