    • 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.

Credit Card-MBNA

-Account start date 05/2006,

defaulted -06/2010 at £6550.

Noddle currently shows that I owe : £5250.

 

I found a letter dated 01/09/2010 from Experto Credite advising me that Varde Investments(Ireland) Limited

has bought the interest of MBNAlink3.gif Europe Banks Limited and they are legal owner of my account.

‘Under the terms of assignment Experto Credite Ltd has been appointed by Varde to recover any and all outstanding sums.’

 

I paid Experto Credite £20 on monthly basis

until Aktiv Capital contacted me to inform me that they have taken over my account.

 

They agreed to the £1 monthly payment in 2013 (which was agreed with Experto Credite already I think) and since then I have been paying it.

I noticed just recently that on my Noddle report instead of Activ Capital, PRA Group UK has taken place as a lender.The last letter I received before I moved away in 2013 was from Aktiv Kapital ltd.

I have been paying them £1 for more than 2 years.

 

Now I want to update them about my new address and request CCA

but they are no longer Aktiv Kapital ltd.

They are PRA ltd.

 

They probably sent me a letter to notify me at my old address...

Their bank details are still the same so my £1 has been going to them

and they update my Credit record file regularly.

 

I called the Aktiv Kapital telephone number from the letter I last received in 2013 but PRA answered.

I did not introduce myself

- just asked them to who to write and they explained to write to PRA in Scotland not to Aktiv Kapital in Bromley.

 

Who should I address the letter to:

PRA or Aktiv Kapital or both?

 

What do you think?

 

My address:

Their address:

Aktiv Kapital(UK)Ltd/ PRA ltd

2 The Cross

Kilmarnock

Scotland

KA1 1LR

 

Date:

Dear Sir or Madam,

..................

 

or

My address:

 

Their address:

Aktiv Kapital Ltd

2 The Cross

Kilmarnock

Scotland

KA1 1LR

 

Date:

Dear Sir or Madam,

I am quite sure there are lots of charges added as I think the card was for £5000 max credit and I paid them back a lot of money before defaulting.

 

I sent CCA request to PRA Limited (Aktiv Kapital) and change of address letter on 7/01/16

 

CCA request received by former Aktiv Kapital now PRA Group (UK) Limited on 08/01/16

Today I received the attached letter below from them. Apologies that the quality of the file is not a very high standard.

 

Should I write to them:

Dear ...

Ref:

My full name:...

My date of birth:..

My previous address:...

 

I look forward to receiving the CCA I requested on 07/01/2016 and provided £1 payment.

 

Please advise if the above reply to them is suitable.

 

Are they entitled to the requested information?

If they don't believe that this is me maybe I stop paying them

and they will never be able to ask me to pay as they don't have enough proof that this is me?;-)

 

Would you suggest SAR to MBNA as I have not kept any statements

(I think the paperwork has been left at a friends loft, and the friend is abroad for the next few years,

so I will be unable to collect it any time soon).

I was thinking to only give them my previous address (the last one plus the current one). They have sent me letters there in the past.

 

 

My name is the same as from DOB and they already have it, so I will maybe give them my DOB. Nothing else...If they think this is enough that's it.

On full name I have not put my middle name- this is not necessary is it?

Amazing that they have been happy to write to you previously with details of the account, and have accepted payments without needing to know this information....

Any advice given is done so on the assumption that recipients will also take professional advice where appropriate.

I have received a reply from PRA, showing sub client Varde Experto.

 

They have returned my postal order for £1 and they say that it was not required to carry out the request.

They say that my account has been on HOLD which will cease any further collection activity until further notice.

This means that I don't need to pay my token payment for now then?

 

They have also sent me 2 pages with general information they send to everyone

who has sent CCA request to them of questions and answers:

what they should provide,

what happens if I don't get the required information etc...

 

Some of the points they make there don't make sense but I am not an expert:

for example they say:

 

They should provide me what the original agreement was, and if there were any changes made to it later,

include my name and address at the time I first signed the agreement,

but it doesn't have to include my signature, or the date I signed it...

If this has not been posted already by another Cager and you are interested to see

the general information papers please let me know and I will upload them and post here...

They say that : 'I have placed your account on hold which will cease any further collections activity until further notice.'

 

I sent the CCA request on the 7th of January and they received it on the 8th

then they sent me a letter on the 12th to ask for additional details

and I sent the additional details on the 13th which they have received on the 14th.

 

12 working days is on the 26-27th?

I pay them on the 28th of each month.

 

I don't need to send them any letters telling them that they have not provided the CCA on time, right?

as they already have told me that the account is put on hold.

Just to let you know I have received some crap information regarding the CCA I requested from PRA.

I am unable to scan it at the moment but I will do first thing on Monday

I will attach it here as I will need your advise please.

 

1st thing they sent me an 'agreement' no signature etc...

also the conditions are clearly not the original ones

because I had this credit card with interest free for 6 or 12 months and this is not mentioned at all.

 

2nd letter I have received is something like a history of payments and charges which are clearly not mine

as I can see clearly whoever this statement belongs to they have purchased lots of things during the years from a particular town

.I have never been in this town.

 

I stopped using this card in 2008.

I did not have a chance to look carefully but it shows many purchases in 2012-2013.

I have never made these purchases.

I was never supplied with a credit card after 2008.

It is absolute crap what they have provided me with.

 

There is PPI added also which I am sure I have never chosen to have as I was self employed.

The account number on Noddle shows completely different last 4 numbers

than the card number stated on the papers they have sent me...

 

A strange thing are the last 4 lines of the 'statement':

date- lost/stolen Credit card Charge Offs- Charge OFF Adjustment: -5598.8 and card number

same date-Lost/stolen Debit Charrge Offs-Charge OFF Adjustment: 5598.8 and different/another card number on here and the next 2 lines???

date (5 days later)Payments- Payment by cheque-thank you: -1

date (one month later) Monetary Credit Adjustments- ZERO CURBL ON SOLD ACCT:-5597.8

 

What this means???

Do anybody know?

It is clearly not my statement but curious what are these LOST/STOLEN Offs??

 

I will give you more detail on Monday first thing.

Yes crap

I guess they sent mine to the other person, so maybe they have it.

 

I will get back with more details on Monday.

 

I guess I should complain to whom I am not sure?

that they sent me sensitive information which belongs to somebody else.

 

I can see on the statement the full card numbers of someone else

and what they bought, where they bought items from and what they paid back etc...

 

I should also write to them telling them what they have done maybe.

Because they say : now you have what you wanted contact us to arrange a settlement.

 

I have never said to them that I can pay them more than the agreed £1.

..but they are not having even this at the moment until they provide me with the correct CCA.

Yes thanks, I will.

 

 

I found a template letter on their website.

 

 

Although they say I have to contact first PRA and ask them to resolve the issue

and does not matter what the outcome is I still can report to the ICO.
