    • 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.

Hello

My ex husband and I had a loan with the HFC years ago-approx. 18 years

It was for 5000.

 

We got behind with payments and def had PPI which actually we could ill afford and both working for NHS didn't need .

 

I think with interest rates , charges and PPI I remember working out once that the 5 year loan had limped into 8 or more years and we had paid back something like a couple of thousand more than the original loan and still owed a couple of thousand !

 

last payment was over ten years ago and weve heard nothing for most of this time until this year .

 

My husband has moved out as weve amicably separated and I received a letter which was from a DCA saying the debt had been assigned to them in 2013 and what were proposals to pay

- as weve definitely left this behind over 10 years ago I didn't think any action would be forth coming .

 

I did however take note that we now have an account number

-- the one thing that stopped me reclaiming ppi a few years ago .

 

With my ex`s blessing as its joint loan would it be worth me sending a CCA and starting a ppi claim or may I risk a bad print again on our CRA files ?

Thanks

Yes of course you can reclaim

Send HFC an sar

 

As for the dca (totally powerless-they are not baillifs)

There is. Nothing they can do

The debt is statute barred

 

Same for it coming back on credit files

Defaulted more than 6 yrs ago

Gone from your file forever

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...

OOh thank you .

Do you think SAR is always the first step ?

Could I just fill out the PPI online form supplied by the ombudsman ?

So you know how much you should get back?

I would never trust HFC as far as I could kick them

True!! I had many loans,( including at least one mortgage which had payment protection),

with this company going right back to when they were Midland Bank… all were paid in full.

 

 

I still have all the account numbers and have provided them to HSBC with the intention of claiming PPI.

 

 

They have refused to accept them, saying they no longer have the details, etc., etc...
