    • 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 just received a letter from CCS Collect dated 18th July 2015 regarding a debt owed to BT from 2010.

 

 

They state that BT have authorised them to collect this debt.

 

 

I then received last week a letter supposedly from BT stating that they had passed this debt to CCS Collect

'an authorised agency' to get in touch with me 'about paying it off'. (How about that for good grammar!!!!)

 

Also that 25% had been added to the outstanding blance to cover thecost of BT handing over the debt!!!!!!!!

(is this legal, I don't think so?)

 

All telephone numbers are to CCS Collect - no address for BT or telephone number only BT registered office address.

 

Then two days ago I received an 'Notice of Intended Action) threatening court action

if the debt was not paid in fullby the 18th August, 2015.

 

Please advise on how to proceed.

 

Thank you

I wouldn't be in the slightest bit worried about this,

if BT have not bothered to collect on this before 5 years were up, then it clearly

isn't of any great sum.

 

Check your credit file and see what is on there, and ignore CCCS, if this is the Bromsgrove address, then it is in fact BT, or at the very least they share the same building.

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!

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...

Hi Thank you for your advice.

 

 

There is no record on my credit file.

 

 

My recollection is that my last dealings with BT was around 2010.

 

 

I have send CCS a letter requesting true not fraudulent evidence of this debt and their legal right to collect.

I enclosed a copy of the Fraud Act 2006.

 

 

They have replied with a letter which says that as I have not disputed???? the debt I must pay and that

I have received a letter from BT stating that CCS have been instructed to collect this alleged debt plus the added charge of 25%?????. I have not.

 

Has anyone any further advice on how to proceed with this?

 

Thanks
