    • 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.

I need some advice please. In 2006 I transferred an £104k asset loan from Barclays to Lombard,

 

 

I've continued to pay this debt every month, even through the harsh times.

 

 

However about a year ago I maintained payments but reduced from 1300 per month to 750 per month,

Lombard without notice bar a letter sent my account to Shoosmiths to force the final part of the debt circa 18k...

 

I now have 6500 left.

I have made an offer of 3.5k in full and final ( a family member would settle)

they wrote back saying they would accept 4k as partial settlement and no further monies will be chased.

 

However my credit file which means a great deal to me, I have struggled since 2098 but maintained a tight communication and avoided negative impact on my credit file.

 

I have debated the partial settlement on my credit file as this can be deemed gesture and impact me for a further six years.

How can I make an offer in full and final settlement, shoosmiths accept this settlement but screw me over by marking the credit file as partia settled.

I realise that Lombard/shoosmiths are posting fact, but full and final indicates just that...

 

It makes no sense for me to pay 4k full and final, when I should perhaps drag this out longer and settle in full.

 

Any thoughts? Thank you

so why are they offering a short settlement?

 

 

ever sent them a CCA request

 

 

ever sent them an SAR to get all the statements?

 

 

could be PPI/Penalties here up for grabs

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...

Years back I'm sure I paid capital/ interest then a few days later a 26.00 fee would leave my account. I questioned last year about PPI but they said it never applied to my account.

Perhaps I serve a DSAR on them to understand the smaller amount.

 

I am willing to pay the 4k but only as a full and final settlement. I can't allow them to place partial settled as this will effect my future business opportunities as I'm personally checked for sine if my commercial lending.

Thanks
