    • An update! I emailed both Andrzej.Tuleja and James_Goldsmith at Whirlpool dot com. I got a phone call from their executive team a couple of days later, and a replacement part dropped on the mat a week after. She was quite apologetic, however, also reiterated the "90 day warranty" period on customer fitted parts, and did not comment when I mentioned that the CRA also applies as I was a consumer buying from them directly. So I now have a spare door switch if the machine decides to eat another in the future! Cheers all!   Note dx100 that the "Hotpoint CEO" you linked to is not related to the hotpoint appliances, but some kind of marketing app.
    • yep, throw that morality card out the window....9/10 you never owe a DCA ANYTHING!! they are NOT BAILIFFS!!
    • (See the link to DVLA’s INF188/6 document I posted above, page 4 as cited) “I have a new medical condition that I have told the DVLA about on my recent application. Can I drive? As soon as the DVLA receives your correct and complete application for a new licence and as long as you meet all the Section 88 criteria, you may drive. It is important that you are satisfied that the medical condition you have declared on your application does not stop you from driving. If you are unsure, check with your doctor or healthcare professional before you make a decision. You can also look up your condition in the ‘Assessing fitness to drive’ guide, which you can find at www.gov.uk/dvla/fitnesstodrive to see whether you meet the medical standards for driving. As this guide is intended for healthcare professionals, it can be complicated. Your doctor or healthcare professional should be able to help you if necessary." It seems that DVLA think that S.88 does apply for applications disclosing a new medical condition after all. Why might this be so, and what of “qualifying application" and "relevant disability"? S. 92(1) imposes on the driver a requirement to disclose a relevant disability. S.92(3) requires the Secretary of State to refuse such an application disclosing a relevant disability ….. EXCEPT S.92(4) requires the Secretary of State to grant such an application if the relevant disability is “adequately controlled”. Hence my belief S.88 can apply for medical conditions (if the driver meets the medical standard of fitness to drive) as the application remains a qualifying application IF the driver meets the medical standard of fitness to drive, until DVLA (on behalf of the Secretary of State) say it doesn’t, provided the driver believes they meet the (medical) standard. Additionally, at (or before) June 2013 (as noted in my previous post) the medical standard for fitness to drive for conditions involving excessive daytime sleepiness was changed from “completely controlled” to "adequately controlled".

    • 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.

If thats the case, then they need to be reported to the OFT. No reports means that the OFT thinks the company are acting perfectly fine.

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..

ok its just a few days to go until the 12 plus 2 working days are up (6th March) if Lowell cant supply the CCA what happens to the debt ? if they do supply it, i can get added charges taken off? and pay the original amount? can this then be amended/removed from credit file? this debt was sold by jdw to Lowell.

 

am just preparing for the next move on this one, as this is the debt I really want to get sorted once and for all.

 

as for the others they can wait.

Hi if they cannot supply then you place the account into Formal Dispute until they do supply the relevant documents.

Any Letters I Draft are N0T approved by CAG and no personal liability is accepted.

If this has been correctly entered onto your CRF then it will stay on their for 6 years regardless whether you pay it off or not.

 

Yes charges should be reclaimed, if they do turn up with the CCA then you should SAR the original creditor to find out how much of the debt is made up of charges/fees, then you can reclaim them including 'their' interest rate which will either wipe out the so called debt, or knock a substantial chunk out of it.

OK so today is the last day within the 12 + 2 for providing the CCA.

 

Letter received from Lowell today....

 

Dear xxxxxxxxxx

 

We have been in touch with JDW about the copy of your credit agreement.

 

They have let us know they are trying to retrieve the agreement from their archive.

As soon as they have it, we will write to you.

 

What will happen next

In the event we cannot obtain a copy of the agreement we will write to you again and inform of this. Once you have seen your credit agreement, we will ask you to pay your outstanding balance in full.

 

 

Am puzzled at the "trying to retrieve from their archive" bit?

 

I have the formal dispute letter to send by recorded delivery, do I still do this?

It can do no harm to send the dispute letter.

oh I see.

well will see what happens then.

 

I have found old letters and the original amount is a lot less than whats being asked for,

 

I suspect that's due to charges being added, and its over £100, so if the CCA does appear

then I will SAR to get the true amount before paying anything.

 

In the event of paying I will only be able to pay instalments

and am thinking of standing order as definitely not direct debit.

 

Although they say they will ask for the balance to be paid in full.

I'm in this same situation and had excellent help regarding 4 Lowell debts

 

Can I just ask,

 

To whom do we send a letter to clear off the charges, Lowell or Shop Direct?

 

Do we send them a copy of all the paper work or the total calculation and they do the rest?

 

Bit stumped on what the next step is once we find all the charge payments, late payment charges etc

Well as NO DCA can add their spurious charges, you should send a subject access request (SAR) to the original creditor for all the information they hold on you and your account, once you have worked out all the charges they have levied against your account, a simple letter requesting they be returned, including any interest at their rate, should be sent.

 

If they won't refund the charges, then IMO simply pay what you physically owe and stop paying.

always the OC on all counts

 

dx

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...

well the 12 + 2 days for the CCA were up on 6th March and I put the letter on here they sent me on here, which basically said OC trying to retrieve CCA and would send and ask for full payment when they had it. Another letter from Lowell today,

 

Dear xxxxx

 

I am afraid we have not received a copy of your credit agreement from JDW yet. They are still trying to retrieve it from their archives. We have placed the account on hold until we receive further information.

 

When we have received it from them we will post it to you straight away.

 

We wont write to you again, until we have the agreement, but if you have any more questions in the meantime please do phone us on ..................

 

Yours ..........

 

Andrew Bartle

 

 

I didn't send the dispute letter as theyre not pursuing? and if they turn up a CCA will then SAR?.

Is this all I need to do with this now?

ok so I wrote to Lowell and put the account in dispute...using the template in CAG library.....received reply saying they await the agreement from jdw....that the account would have been put into default by jdw before they sold it to Lowell, and then the name would have been changed to Lowell being owed on the cra file....and that all info stays on there for 6yrs...when they get the agreement I will hear from them for full payment.

really?...they said that the cra file will be marked up default to Lowell..as they bought the debt, and jdw have no reason to believe there is any reason it shouldn't be paid...and that it will stay on cra file for 6yrs from default, which will be 2015, they say it will not be passed on and they will not pursue but will write regularly to me to update me...and when jdw find the agreement I will have to pay in full etc etc oh and no interest etc will be added...so then jdw must have added charges as its £100 more than the original amount, which is why I queried it. at no point did jdw write to say it had been sold to Lowell which is why I didn't recognise it also. Am wondering how much Lowell bought it for, theyre asking for £293 and the original amount was £190.

oh and they said that jdw had no reason to believe any dispute was in place.
Lovely, they can't supply the cca but don't believe there is any dispute.

 

As Rene says, probably been no contact.

 

You ask for cca, they can't supply within the time scale, 12 + 2, = account in dispute therefore no pay.
