    • 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- background:

 

debt dates to 2005 with a pre-approved credit card,

the limit being increased and increased unasked unti 2008 when BAM!

 

Then i set up a debt management plan with the CCCS, and paid into that until feb 2012 and not a penny since.

 

A couple of weeks ago i got a phishing letter from wescot addressed to me at this address asking if the address was correct and saying if they didn't hear back they'd assume it was, no detail as to what it was for.

I didn't reply.

 

Today, letter from wescot saying they have been instructed by their client arrow global ltd-egg, to make contact with me to discuss the outstanding balance (£19,900) and telling me it is essential to contact them within the next 10 days to prevent further action.

 

Now... what do you advise here?

how likely are they to produce a CCA after so long?

It's months away from being statute barred.. should i ignore it?

 

I haven't heard anything for the last 3 years,

i *think* they must have been given new address by old landlord

getting sick of them constantly writing there.

 

They don't have any certainty of my current address,

are they likely to push for a CCJ under these circumstances?

 

Advice gratefully received!

instructed by their client

 

that means they cant do anything so you have no need to respond to them at all.

 

If Egg want to do something then they will have to do so on their own and if Arrows send a threatogram you send a CCA request.

 

They wont have the info so that will run the clock down a goodly amount.

 

Now about the outstanding sum

, do you have up to date statements of what is owed,

what interest was applied and for how long,

what charges were added.

 

Importantly has anything been added to the bill after you defaulted?

Thanks Ericsbrother!

 

The last info i have is a scan (my scan, don't think i have the actual thing they sent anymore) of a cca i requested in 2013 when i was battling them.

 

Having looked through it,

there is zero mention of my rights to cancel,

and the APR does not state if it is annual/monthly/anything.

 

Kind of thinking as it's dated 2005 it might not be enforceable even if they managed to drag up a copy their end anyway!

You are in danger of a backdoor CCJ to your old address that you'll know nowt about

And for £12k Arrows will do that

 

That's the idea of these phishing letters

 

Send arrows a CCA request

No quite lawful to serve to old address

Its down to you to write to the OC or if sold to the current owner

Of all your debts..not run away

 

Its a gamble you take

And for £12k IMHO they will

 

Just use the search CAG box in the fed top toolbar for

 

Unknown backdoor CCJ

Westcott are handling it atm for their client, arrow.

Presumably I contact them.

 

Should i CCA wescott to prevent them issuing a backdoor ccj?

 

i figure that might stop everything until it's statue barred, or, the produce a legit CCA and it goes to court with my knowledge.

Is this the best option?

 

For the record,

i borrowed the money for a "friend" who did a runner,

the fees piled on,

tried to track down the friend,

no joy,

 

couldn't get any criminal charges as nothing in writing

(yes, i was young, stupid and trusting)

 

the credit crunch happened,

i suffered a close family death and had a bit of a break down

--- fast forward to today.
