    • An update - Still receiving emails and letters - but have been getting text messages too. nothing aggressive just asking me to get in touch.    the text makes it look like it from the bank on first glance - it reads -   'the banks name' would like to dicuss our recent communication...etc... then lists IDR phone number and email FYI - reporting them as spam
    • Hello, After seeing all of the posts about BMW on here I really wish I hadn't even considered them! I bought a used car from them over the weekend, one specifically which had a reversing camera and cruise control in the advert. I was foolish at the time of purchase and didn't check to see these functions work on the test drive (totally my fault). Now that the car is home I've checked and checked and neither of these functions are available. I even checked on Parkers and it seems that no Skoda Kamiq '21 models come with any parking cameras at all. When buying the car, I was told all that was needed was 'Four signatures and £500' to secure it. I was never shown any of the documents, and instead the sales rep opened a box on his iPad and asked me to sign. He had been complaining about the length of time some customers take these days all throughout my time with him. (Again) foolishly I signed. In my email inbox I now have four attachments from BMW, one of which is my signature under a letter which basically says that the cars don't need to match the advertisements online, or have any of the features that a sales rep talks about. I realise that I've made mistakes in not doing my due diligence here, but thought I might as well ask the experts here if I have any rights left to claim that the car was miss-advertised, or if I unknowingly signed them away? Thanks in advance
    • where was this PCN:? please complete: pers i cant see the point in an sar yet await/if they ever send a letter of claim. as long as you've not moved since 2022 you are OK to totally ignore . dx  
    • ah this is a B2B PCP then as your are sending the SAR as a private individual and not as repping the co. you need to prove to them. unfortunately, i think that will also reset the 30 days. dx

    • 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.

Have just spoken to Barclaycard and they state they Have never defaulted the account

and they have now sold it on to Link,

 

so I have been paying them through DMP for nearly 6 years,

 

it looks like I am stuffed?.

 

thought they had defaulted the account

 

B/card also took all of the PPI that I claimed back

Hi FS,

 

BC a/c

 

In what way are you stuffed. You've made token payments through the DMP over the years.

 

The PPI refund would probably never have been made to you direct.

 

Even though it'll be ages till the a/c goes SB'd, you could stop paying if the a/c is unenforceable. The debt should fall off your CRA files 6 years from the date the a/c SHOULD have been defaulted.

 

You can argue this point if BC or Link fail to comply.

 

:-)

Hi FS,

 

NatWest Loan a/c

 

I'm keeping this separate as we may need to split this to a new thread so as not to have 2 issues being discussed on the same thread. Or do you have an old thread about this case, that I can move these posts to.

 

If you have good evidence to show that the bank wrongly applied a payment to the loan a/c, you could conceivably argue this. However, you'd have had a far better chance of doing this back in 2009.

 

If no payments have been made since March 2009, the a/c will be SB'd pretty soon anyway.

slick,thanks for your response on both matters

 

Do not understand your point regarding B/card...... date a/c SHOULD have been defaulted,

I was hoping there was a default date 6 years ago so it dropped of my credit file .

 

I have asked Natwest to produce statements covering Jan 2008 up to Jan 2015,as I do not believe,they actually applied any money to this account,although they stated this on the phone

 

Thankyou

Hi FS,

 

BC should have defaulted the a/c at the right time. If they failed to do this, it should not compromise your position.

 

You should be able to argue that the debt should fall off your CRA files 6 years from the date when the BC should have defaulted the a/c, if they'd acted with due diligence back at that time.

NO reply from Barclaycard,and

 

nothing from Asset Link Capital no5,to say they now own the debt,

 

if my memory serves me correctly they are required to write to me to confirm the Assignment,

 

or is the Barclaycard letter of Assignment sufficient??

Give it a while longer to see if Link :-

 

1. Write to say they now own the a/c.

 

2. Show as owner of the debt on your CRA files and, most importantly, show a date for the default.

More information

I have been paying Barclaycard and now Link for over 7 years

,managed to get PPI from Barclaycard who took the money to help pay of the debt.

 

 

Because of a number of debts I have I did not really check my CRA's until 2015

and Barclaycard did not appear,

 

 

this is why I am surprised that Link have now registered a debt with CRA

having read the numerous merges on this debt that has happened over the year wit thtreads

and the new information on another new thread today..

 

it appears to me that you checked your CRA file earlier in the thread

and this debt did show

but was not defaulted..

 

.. so nothing wrong with it showing today.

they haven't 'newly' registered it

 

however, having CCA's BC numerous times

and sending an SAR

you were advise several times the debt was un-en

yet you continued to pay.

 

the debt was sold to LInk

and you again sent a CCA request

link failed the CCA . but you still paid them..

 

so have link entered a default yet

oh dear

 

its a shame you didn't follow slicks advise at post 61

 

you ideally need to write to BC

because when you entered this onto your CCCS [now stepchange] DMP this debt

they should have negotiated that the debt gets defaulted..

 

see what slick132 says

but id write with proof of the time you entered the BC card onto it

and ask that they default the debt from that date

 

that way

it would not not show [past 6yrs defaulted?]

then if I were honest, i'd CCA link again

and when they fail

stop paying the debt.

 

I hope you've followed the CCA request route on all you debts with CCCS? ...
