    • 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.

Cant beleive what they've done!!

 

So...i have a few debts and normally just ignore all the letters and carry on with life,but recently decided i should try and get rid of the debt incase i ever need credit.

 

I owed three mobile around £150,so i called them up and set up a payment plan,they said no further charges would be added as long as i cleared it within 3 months and didn't miss one payment

whatever the amount of the first payment was is the minimun i could pay next time so i paid £15,next week i ring up and pay £30, as i had a bit extra and thought it would help,just rang up now to make a 3rd payment for another £30 and after being put on hold for 30 mins twice i ring a 3rd time today an ask for a manager,i finally get through to someone where i'm informed that the account is closed and any further payments must be made to lowell portfolio!! so although i haven't missed a payment they have sold the debt on?? i really dont know why though as i was paying on time and more than the minimum.

 

i asked the date that the account was sold and i'm told it was in june! so i ask why they took two payments from me in the last 2 weeks if it isn't there account any more??? "dont worry,it will help you lower the debt" is there response!

 

i then got annoyed,shouted at him and slammed the phone down

 

**feel free to move this of it's in the wrong section**

You need to maintain a paper trail of evidence.

 

So only communicate in writing or email, and obtain proof of posting, which is free from the PO counter.

 

Just because 3 have instructed lowlifes to collect does not mean this absolves them from all or any responsibility.

 

Check your credit file, and see when they marked your CRF with a default, your CRF and credit rating will be stuffed for another six years until it auto drops off.

 

Await the deforestation lowlifes like to send you in an attempt to eek your hard earned out of you, and remember lowlifes are a tin pot low grade DCA, albeit quite litigious, they are NOT bailiffs, and unless they physically own this account, then all demands for payment from them should be ignored.

 

Hammer 3's complaints procedure, if they have one? and if you don't have sight of the actual figure they claim you owe, send them a SAR (£10) and obtain all the details, then you can go about reclaiming all of their fees/charges.

 

When did you take this agreement out?

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!

i only have the information that is on my credit file.

 

account start date:07/10/2011

 

date of default:19/06/2013

 

default balance:£143

 

i have recently paid £45 off of this though :(

 

account still listed as a debt with "hutchison 3g uk" nothing on there regarding "lowell portfolio" who they claim now has the account?

Well unless they have sold it then no payments should be made to them.

 

ONLY pay 3g.

 

Start their lethargic complaints procedure, email/writing only.

 

Anything that has been said over the phone can be ignored, less for anything you said of course!

 

So in reality you owe £100, but how much of that figure is their charges?

 

Bet you could halve that total again.

this is what i dont get? i made an agreement with 3g (over the phone :( ) paid them on time so you'd think they'd be happy they are getting money,but then today they tell me it has been in the hands of a dc since june???? so why did they take 2 payments?? and why verbally set up a payment plan??

Pay no-one anything, start their complaints procedure and exhaust it, the money you paid has gone into someone's profit pocket.
