    • It is not as simple as you seem to suggest. 1. My wife needed the car and there are no local public transport facilities within 2 miles. 2 Neither of us has the technical expertise to change a battery. 3 Not only does the battery itself have to be appropriate for stop/start technology; but also, according to the handbook, has to be registered with Mini by a recognised agent, which I am not, neither is Big Motoring World. 4 The car had to be towed. Where was I going to have it towed to where I could be sure it would be properly dealt with? I couldn't trust Big Motoring World to do it. I couldn't have it towed to just any garage and be sure they had the right battery and the time to fit it. 5 The high sum involved is mainly for the diagnostic test which Big Motoring World asked me to obtain; and they did not initially raise any objection to the car being taken to the nearest main dealer. I would not have got the diagnostic test, if they had not asked for one. So, I understand where you are coming from, but having ignored requests for reimbursement, what else could I have done to recover my lay out?
    • Thank you FTMDave.  I'm happy to make your suggested changes.  I'll wait a day or 2 to see if any of the team have any other suggestions or feedback.  Do I then just email a copies to both UKPC and the court? Lookinforinfo - Unfortunately I am not sure if the signs have since been changed and cannot recall seeing any on the night as it was dark.

    • I can't imagine that EVRi will want a judgement against them on this and based on this argument. I reckon you have a better than 90% chance that they will try to reach out to you before the trial date. They know that what they are doing is thoroughly wrong and dishonest and contrary to law. They are following this thread, of course – and they've already seen this witness statement. I imagine that they are scrabbling around trying to understand how they can extricate this without using too much face. I suppose they will make an offer to you which is a few quid short of your claim in order to say that they were justified in being stupid. Hold out for every penny. It's your money and you deserve it. It's not their money and they don't deserve it

    • 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.

I will get the email address and postage address tomorrow morning.

 

I am slightly concerned that I offered them to pay £2000 every month over the phone on Friday and also paid 1500 on the phone.

 

From income and expenditure they did with me over the phone there is surplus of 3292. I won't feel comfortable committing to pay 2000 towards arrears every month just for arrears and 1175 for contractual monthly instalment.

 

I can easily pay 500 towards arrears comfortably. Specially my next monthly payment is due on 27th. Having already paid 1500 few days ago I won't be able to pay 1175 plus 2000 on 27th.

I tried to contact the court few times today to find out if I need to attend the hearing on Wednesday or is it just paper hearing but couldn't get through the automted service. Will try again tomorrow.

 

I have got the eviction team email address and postal address.

 

Ell-enn, Please help with the offer letter so I can email offer to them. Does this need to be before the hearing on Wednesday?

It doesn't need to be before Wednesday - there is no hearing as we have already explained srveral times

 

In order for me to help you with the letter I will need some information - please answer the following in order:

 

1. is the mortgage in joint names ?

2. how long has the mortgage left to run?

3. how much can you comfortably afford to pay each month towards the arrears?

remember you will have to prove your income and expenditure in court if the lender does go ahead with an eviction warrant and we have to put in a defence.

1. is the mortgage in joint names ? Yes, with my sister who is married. She no longer has financial interest in this and only keeping her name because getting it removed was not a simple change. I only make mortgage payments.

2. how long has the mortgage left to run? 10 years

3. how much can you comfortably afford to pay each month towards the arrears? £500. Although last week after income and expenditure I offered 2000 but I think that won't be affordable if anything happens.

Hi, affixed is a draft letter - you need to put your address at the top and the correct lender department and address where indicated.

 

Sign the letter and make sure you take a copy and keep it safe as we may need it to put with a court defence.

 

Send by Special Delivery (costs around £6 but they get it next day and have to sign for it) make sure you keep the postal receipt safe as it will have a tracking number on it - you then check on the royal mail website a few days after posting the print off the signature receipt - keep that safe with the copy letter.

Just checked online, letter was delivered this morning.

 

Shall I just wait for their response to whether offer accepted or not or call them to find out?

 

I don't know what decision court gave yesterday. Will there be a letter from court to inform us the decision?

Don't ring them! wait for their reply. I expect the court will advise you of the decision, but they can take quite a while to get the letters out so don't be surprised if it doesn't appear for a week or so.

I expect BM mortgage will reply in either case. Can they completely ignore my request without any reply and go ahead with eviction?

 

After the court decision on Wednesday, next step for them is to send me eviction letrer telling me the date I need to leave the property? Or is there any further stage?

 

I am very worried as it sounds I am very close to eviction.

Talking to them over the phone has always been stressful. Had I avoided that in the past I wouldn't have been in so much arrears.

 

What do you mean there is no eviction?

 

Also, next mortgage payment is due on 27th January. Shall I pay additional 500 towards the arrears even if they don't reply by then or refuse my offer?

there is no eviction..stop latching onto that word

they've got to apply for it etc etc

 

they probably only did this because you stopped payment and found they couldn't evict you as nothing was in force to allow them do it IF they want too.

 

now there is , but you've re opened comms so even if they did try any judge will not allow it.

 

you made a mistake, that's the only reason this all started.

 

yes pay what you have promised.

and STAY off the phone..

The reason I am using this word is that I still don't understand the stage my mortgage account is at.

 

It is still not clear to me whether 9 years old spo is still valid or whether they asked for it to be enforceable.

 

I agree I made mistake by not paying.

well they wouldn't of gone to court asking for permission to possibly apply for a warrant IN THE FUTURE if they could have just gone for an eviction.

 

you need to read post 15 CAREFULLY..and understand it.

You should most definitely pay what you have offered in your letter. If they do apply for an eviction warrant then we will be able to show that you have kept to the arrangement you offered.

 

The 9 year old SPO will always be valid, however if they haven't actioned it in the last 6 years they have to ask the court for permission to do so. As you have got into quite a bit of arrears they are probably covering themselves in case your arrears get worse and they have to try for eviction.

While I was panicking last week, I contacted ombudsmen for outcome of my complaint.

 

Today I received email asking me to sign the form and explain what has actually happened since my complaint.

 

Will this complaint have negative effects on my offer to Birmingham midshire? Or shall I continue with complaint?

The complaint will make no difference to your offer - it's a separate issue.

Hi,

 

Just got home from work and found letter from court. Please see attached.

 

It looks like claimants solicitor attended the hearing but I didn't.

 

The permission is granted valid for 1 year while claimant requested for 6 years.

 

Where do I stand now? Next step for me please .

 

Appreciate your help.

Excuse me for my ignorance but I still don't understand the process. I will make sure to keep paying towards mortgage payments and arrears but if due to unforseen reasons I fail, does this mean now they have powers to evict me without further notice to court?

 

As I had conflict with them can they use this power now to get rid of me?

Link to post
Share on other sites

NO!

they still have to apply for eviction which you will get ample warning of AND it would still have to be granted by a judge

if you are making the required payments, then if you GO READ, other eviction threads here, you'll see rarely is that ever granted.

did you not read that thread I pointed too earlier...….

 

instead of sitting here thinking up the next question to ask go research your issue..

I paid this month's payment as well as 500 towards the arrears. Still haven't heard anything from them regarding my offer of payment towards arrears or any other paperwork from them regarding court decision.

 

Yesterday I had 2 phone calls from their customer service which I didn't answer. Then a email asking me to call them regarding my complaint. I replied back to email saying please contact me through email and no phone calls due to previous experience.

 

Nothing in reply to my yesterday's email yet.
