    • 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 Guys,

 

I received a chasing letter from Lowell for a debt I thought was SB

they have replied saying it is not.

 

I have been paying this through a DMC but stopped payments in 2012

(i checked my statements).

Thing is I completely forgot about this and sent them a prove it letter.

 

The debt is a store care debt and total £299.00

- They have said they have placed my account on hold when they request the contract from the creditor.

 

What shall I do when they do reply?

 

Thanks for your help

Tell them to prove it. Its up to them to prove it isnt. Not for you to prove it is.

 

if it isnt DB, send a CCA request.

Any advice i give is my own and is based solely on personal experience. If in any doubt about a situation , please contact a certified legal representative or debt counsellor..

 

 

If my advice helps you, click the star icon at the bottom of my post and feel free to say thanks

Hi All,

 

Thanks for reading, I have another posts on here but thought i`d keep this separate.

 

A few years ago i got into debt and went onto a DMP which I stopped paying on (i cant remember when)

 

since then my credit has gotten better and after many years i now have CC again.

 

The problem with this is my old debts are crawling out the woodwork (which I have been seeking advice on here and dealing with)

 

Thing is

- I received a chase letter for a store card with a balance of £299.00

i sent a go away letter as i thought this was SB

 

DC replied saying the debt isnt SB the last payment I made through the DMC was MAY 2011. And they attached a statement

 

I was about to pay this as it is a small amount,

however when I looked carefully the statement they sent me is just some numbers on a spreadsheet

 

. There are no dates of the transaction or card details just date(year), numbers, refund , payment. And I thought this could be anything.

 

I have about 5 sheets of this printed back to back.

 

Question is, is it to late to send a CPR request?

 

what should I do

 

Thanks for reading

So it was defaulted more than 6yrs ago then

 

CPR is only for court claims really

 

You mean a CCA request

Evening All,

 

Just seeking a second opinion.

 

I had a store card debt which I thought was statute barred when the debt management company started chasing,

 

 

i sent them a "get lost" letter when they advised me the debt isnt SB.

There is no default on my credit file for this debt

but according to them the last payment I made through a DMC was 2013

(i had a few debts with this company and was making the payments).

 

I sent off the CCA/CPR request

and after about 8 months they have responded with a signed copy of the agreement.

 

The alleged debt is for 300.00,

is there anything else I could do or do I just cave in a pay it?

 

Regards

Correction, the last payment by DMC was May 2011

 

The agreement is not dated.

I was only sent one A4 page (blank at the back)

the front is the application form front page with my DOB, old address, mobile number and signature in my handwriting.

 

 

The front page doesnt look dodgy but i would have expected the entire contract which should be folded (like a book) in A4 size.

 

 

am wrong in thinking this?

 

The DCA is Lowell and Its a New Look card

 

thanks
