    • 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, all, I'm sorry I haven't been on in a while due to illness/back to back forms. I hope you are all well.

 

As it's been five years I'm not sure what to do in re a debt that's been in dispute since May 2011

- sold by RBS/Mint to Cabot, from whom my husband has had a letter last month.

 

 

In 2011 the then collector Regal Credit closed the account as they could not provide documents as requested by my CCA.

 

Cabot's letter just says they will be in touch, not sure if I should wait to hear from them or CCA them now and/or mention the debt has been in dispute for five years?

 

I have the link to how to do a CCA of which I've sent many - I'm reading the link thoroughly as I know things have changed which is why I'm posting this, to make sure I'm doing the right thing.

 

Many thanks for any advice and I hope you are all well.

 

Best wishes

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...

By let it run do you mean, wait to hear from Cabot?

 

Latest credit report is in shed, we are half-bured in paperwork, so have to go dig it out.

 

Thank you.

let them do the running.

 

 

If they write again and say that you owe £xx then you send them a CCA request

and point out that the debt is in dispute.

 

 

This will give them 2 things to think about and they certainly wont be back in touch in a hurry

as it will take them ages to work out where the paperwork has gone and its current status.

Thank you both :-D will do

- have had another letter from Cabot today but just says if they don't hear from us then they will write again in 14 days.

 

Equifax credit file: RBS/Mint - de nada, goose egg, nothing listed. Will check out those other sites.

 

Hope you both have a brill weekend.

 

PS My husband has made a small donation to CAG to show his appreciation - we will try to do this whenever we can as we are grateful this information is still available, after all that's been scrapped..

  • 3 weeks later...

Have had a letter this morning from Cabot. No mention of CCA Request, just the original letter we received when the debt was sold, demanding money. It's like dealing with an idiot robot.

 

Am sending a follow up reminding them they have 12+2 working days from 16 June (got proof they signed for the request on this date) to provide the agreement. Then will leave it up to them to waste stationery, ink, stamps, etc. until they provide what I've asked for.

 

Many thanks again, you guys.:-)

Cabot wont have the paperwork, and will lie and mislead you at every single turn.

 

Do NOT send a follow up. You have no need to. They are well aware of their responsibilities. Let them make the mistakes.

 

Think about it. Why would you want to tell them they made a mistake, and have them try and rectify it?
