    • 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 have had a Barclaycard for around 10 years and managed to run up big debts on it (aprox £12k).

 

 

I ran into trouble after a period of being jobless and

Barclaycard closed my account and agreed that they would freeze all interest on the account if i made regular repayments of £50.00 a month

, at the time this seemed like a good deal overall as i wouldn't be getting charged interest and did genuinely want to clear the debt.

 

I have just realised... (been sent a default notice by Asset Link Capital).

. that payments for the last 3 months haven't left my account to Barclaycard.

. am now paying £54.00 a month.

. genuine oversight on my part don't often scrutinise my account.

 

 

Asset Link Capital have told me by letter that i need to clear the payments they haven't received, which amounts to £162.00.

 

Not having this amount of money to hand i rang Asset link Capital

and asked them if i could just simply start up the repayment agreement with them to which they replied no,

i will need to settle the late payments or am in breach of my agreed payment plan.

 

 

when i asked what action they will take i was told they will apply a default to my credit record

and "MAY" apply to the court to get full payment from me... currently £8000 ish...

 

I guess my question is,

 

 

why did i not receive notification from barclaycard that they were passing my debt on?

they should have told me right?

also... in layman terms what do their threats actually mean?

 

Sorry for the long post

Thanks in advance for any advice

Hi tkb and welcome to CAG

 

Let me add the missing parts to the jigsaw above.........

 

Your payments stopped because BC have wrote the debt off and assigned it to Link ( debt buyer)...you should have a Notice of Assignment from either BC or Link to confirm this.

 

Check your credit files and see if a default has been applied and by who...only the original creditor can apply this..only the original creditor can issue a Default Notice...not Link.

 

No more phone calls to Link from here on and you have 2 options.......continue the agreed £50 per month to Link (from this month as you have not been notified of assignment)...although this will not safeguard any court action.

 

Or/ and send Link a section 78 request requesting a copy of the agreement/T&Cs and statement.If they are unable to comply (which I doubt on a ten year old agreement) with this legal request then they are unable to enforce the agreement.

 

Regards

 

Andy

Hi TKBY,

 

If you chose to send Link a CCA request and see if they have the required documents, do as Andyorch says and don't call Link at all.

 

Furthermore, if they call you, tell them you will not discuss the matter and anything they have to say must be in writing only. Then hang up !!

 

:-)

I bet sharklaycard flogged this on because they know they don't have the enforceable documents to collect.

 

So they won't be out of pocket.

Who ever heard of someone getting a job at the Jobcentre? The unemployed are sent there as penance for their sins, not to help them find work!
