    • 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.

We had a second charge against our home of aapx. £24k about 10 years ago.

we have been paying £30 per month since then.

So the current balance will be around £20k.

 

My family want to help me remove this charge.

 

Can someone please give me any advice on how to best approach this.

 

A sample letter to write to the debtor maybe asking for a discount to settle and release the charge.

 

Thank you.

hi welcome

 

first of all

tell about this second charge

 

whos it with

when did you take it out

for how much

who you pay now

have you all the statements?

 

have you looked at reclaiming any stupid insurance they made you take out

like PPI/MIF/House/building ins etc.

 

have you been levied unlawfull arrears, letters.phone calls, debt management charges

 

all those can be reclaimed at their interest rate.

 

get all of that done FIRST before you ever consider a short settlement.

 

regards

1st credit card:

Original creditor is HFC credit card Default Bal £10,700

since then 2004 £1900 collection charge,

2005 court costs £950 and further collection charge of £1900 in 2010

the total showing on the account statements to June 2011 is £15,200 less payments made of £4500 so bal £10,700.

I have since then paid £1000 so current bal Appr. £9700

 

2nd credit card: Original creditor is HFC credit card Default Bal £11,500

since then 2004 £1790 collection charge,

2005 court costs £900 and further collection charge of £1790 in 2010

the total showing on the account statements to June 2011 is £16k less payments made of £4600 so bal £11,400.

I have since then paid £1000 so current bal Appr. £10,400

 

taken to court by Restons in 2005 subsequently

court making a final charging order in late 2005.

 

We have been paying Restons £30 per month.

 

Have statements up to June 2011, when they tried to increase payments by threatening to no avail.

 

I would like the second charge removed, with help from my family and possibly a re-mortgage.

 

My question is

a) Will Restons negotiate to a lesser amount to release the charge &

b) the best to go about this.

 

Thank you

 

GH

was it HFC that took you too court?

I bet not..who was the claimant?

 

 

anyway

sent HFC an sar get all the statements

 

 

you would have had lots of insurances included [Hamilton life/sick/PPI] etc on both.

 

 

do you have the CCJ's ?

have they been or were they allowed to charge interest after judgement.?

All the court papers say: "Claimant: HFC Bank Ltd."

 

Can I still do something even though I have been to court over 10 years ago and the court has given me a CCJ and a Final Charging order. And I have been making repayments as requested by the Courts?

so was the OC and restons ok better than it being IND then.

 

no you probably cant do anything about the CCJ's but the CO for the merged debts yes.

 

it should have been a restriction K not a full CO.??

 

a restriction doesn't stop you selling

and if your solicitor is cute you can do it under the wire without them knowing.

 

so have you actually checked LR website?

So as these are sole credit card debts with a form K restriction on a jointly owned property, you shouldnt have anything to worry about.

 

If you decide to sell for instance, then the conveyancing solicitor only has to inform the creditor (HFC via Restons in this case) that a sale has taken place,

 

he is under no obligation to pay the charging off as a disbursement, only to let the creditor know that the property has been sold.

 

You must read the restriction carefully and understand what it actually says.

Thanks.

 

I am re-mortgaging to extend my mortgage term and convert it to a repayment mortgage, as the current mortgage comes to an end in 2019 and it is interest ONLY (5.75% VERY HIGH) as the endowment will not cover the mortgage and I will get a much more competetive interest rate now.

 

So i was planning to borrow extra to cover the charge and pay it.

 

That is why I was wondering if the creditor would accept a lower full and final offer.

 

I thought that I would be forced to have the charge released as the new lender would not allow it.

 

So I will now let the conveyancing solicitor to advise me the best way to go about it.

 

But any advice here would also be much appreciated.

 

Thank you

 

GH
