    • 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

    • 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

Sorry, ive read the other PRA thread but still need help.

 

PRA are phoning every day up to about 10 times, the number is blocked so goes straight to them leaving me a message.

They are chasing for 2 loans but i don't owe them.

I haven't called them back or written to them in case it changes statute barred dates.

 

I took a loan with Welcome finance 25/01/08.

I paid it back, more than what i owed

, they also changed amounts on the CCA by putting my deposit down as an amount borrowed etc.

 

I got a CCA and SAR from welcome before they disappeared that showed unfair charges as well etc.

 

These amounted to several hundred pounds and welcome actually owe me.

They failed to provide the right documentation in time etc and when i finally got info i requested that they stop harassing me and pay me what they owe me.

I never heard from Welcome again. This was 2013.

 

in 2014 i was contacted by AK capital who claimed to have purchased the debt

, they then continued to harass me.

I told them this was sorted and i did not acknowledge any debt.

 

in 2016 PRA group said i owe them £6163.23 for this welcome debt.

I have ignored and ignored and ignored.

It is not on my credit file nor have i acknowledged it.

 

My question is...... do i finally call them back or write to them.

I still have all the proof as i did not trust welcome and AK capital at all.

 

My other non existent debt with welcome was for a cash loan taken in 24/09/2007 for £2000. CCA shows i paid back £3839.63 to date with last payment of 20/11/13.

They are wanting over £400.00 from me,

 

however looking at the CCA it shows several hundred pounds in fees, extra charges and incorrect capitalisation.

 

What do i do?

I have the dates and copies of all SAR and CCA requests etc

Thanks

as no response to CCA was received then they cant enforce the debt.

Report the phone calls to your service provider as malicious/harassment.

If you have an address for the company write to them and tell them to cease the phone calls or you will report them.

 

As for the detail of what you paid in fees, charges etc

if you have all that in writing then you can claim it all back with interest if you know how.

 

Now the people who claim to own the debt will be the ones you claim form and the money owed to you will be greater than the amount they have vested in this debt so they will lose out massively.

 

Any debt will not be SB for a cuple of years

get your accounts together so they are understandable and then you will be ready to go after them.

 

Put them on a spreadsheet if possible and the someone will show you how to run the figures through one of the CAG Reckoners.

 

What evidence did they send with the CCA to show they owned the debt and what statements have you received annually since 2007

No point in reclaiming

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...

Did you do our spreadsheet?

Welcome do exist

And you could sar now

 

They won't refund charges nor the shortfall/GAP etc

As the FCA gave them a wavier when they went bust

 

But PRA could be frightened away by a copy of your reclaim total

As if they were stupid enough to do court

You could show the judge its all bogus

 

I don't think PRA (just a new name for AK)

Have ever done court on a welcome debt...

 

Are you living at the same address that you last wrote to them from??
