    • 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 All

 

  • Tesco Credit Card taken out in 2004 and got into difficulties 2007/08
  • Been gradually repaying debt since then
  • Last 4 years been paying £50/month
  • Current balance circa £2,500
  • Went through I&E with Tesco in January and agreed £50/month for next 12 months
  • Tesco letter and Intrum letter came together in one envelope from Intrum last week
  • Per Noddle, Intrum have done a search

Tesco letter says: "If you have an active repayment plan in place, and your circumstances haven't changed, you can continue to pay off your balance as you are now, but paying Intrum UK Finance Limited instead of us. You will need to take action and update you payment details to redirect your payments to Intrum UK Finance Limited."

 

Intrum letter says: "We understand that you've already agreed a repayment plan with Tesco Personal Finance Plc. We want you to continue this agreement with us so we ask you contact us in the next 30 days to make arrangements to do this. If it's affordable we're happy to accept the same arrangement you had with Tesco Personal Finance Plc."

 

What propose doing is pay £50/month to Intrum for next 4 years until debt is paid off.

What I don't propose doing is communicate with Intrum.

Question - can Intrum force me to go through I&E or any other form of communication with them?

 

I'd appreciate any advice on how I should proceed.

so they've flogged the debt onto intrum [1st credit]

 

might bean idea to send intrum a CCA request.

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...

Question.......you HAVE reclaimed all fees and charges from Tesco yes?

 

Intrum can be ignored, and paying £50 a month on a non priority debt, whilst admirable, isn't neccessary, £1 a month is all I'd be paying, especially as this account seems to be doing the rounds and evry tom dick and harry is having their pound of flesh out of you!

Who ever heard of someone getting a job at the Jobcentre? The unemployed are sent there as penance for their sins, not to help them find work!

  • 1 month later...

As expected, continual harassment from Intrum with phone messages left virtually every day. After their first letter "We may take legal action if you don't get in touch", their second letter says the following:

 

We're thinking of taking you to court

We don't want to. But, if you don't get in touch soon, we'll pass your account to our legal team. They'll consider applying for a County Court Judgment, which could make it harder for you to borrow money in the future. They may also add court fees of £105.00 and solicitors costs of £80.00 to your balance.

 

It doesn't need to come to that

70% of customers in your position pay us without going to court. Get in touch within 10 days to repay the full amount, or set up regular payments you can afford.

 

Get in touch in the next 10 days

Get in touch to pay in full or set up regular payments you can afford. You can either:

  • Log on to myaccount.intrum.co.uk to do it online
  • Call us on 01737 235244 to talk through your options

etc

 

I intend to write to them to state that I set up a repayment plan with Tesco in December 2014 and have been making regular repayments ever since and that Intrum have taken account of the 2 payments I've made to them (since the stated balance has reduced by those payments).  Therefore I have already set up regular payments.  I will also request that they cease their phone calls and threatening letters.

 

My question is, are Intrum actually able to apply for a County Court Judgment when regular payments under an existing arrangement continue to be made?

If they did it would be rather embarrassing given that your making payments.

We could do with some help from you.
