    • 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.

You certainly don't wait to cease payments, this should be done asap

 

What you are looking for are any regulatory breaches in the handling of the account

 

However once you cease payments you will have plenty of time

as you will have to sit on your hands for a few months

in order to let them incriminate themselves

 

Forget about the credit agreements for now, we can have a look when they reply to your cca requests

 

It would be useful if you could upload minus personal details

 

The narrative from the MBNA SAR for the few months prior to the sale to Idem

The narrative from the Idem SARs

and any letters sent by you to Idem and their replies

Thanks, and payments have now ceased!!!!!

 

They have replied to my CCA requests and sent 3 x signed copies of signed agreements.

 

I uploaded one on here which was almost impossible to read (I can hardly read it).

 

Not sure if they're simply application forms or actual agreements

- there are pages of info attached.

 

I will upload them once I've blanked off the names etc, but as with the other, they're hard to read.

 

I will search through the SARs prior to the sale.

Hi everyone,

 

So we ceased payments to Idem before Christmas.

 

A letter has arrived this morning asking us to get in contact with them because they've not received any payments since beginning of November.

Do I just ignore this?

HELP!

 

Thanks :-)

You're right - I do :-)

 

Ideally that would be my 2nd choice - 1st choice would be to get the same as the other member on here who ceased payments and eventually Idem wrote the debt off and wiped all data from the CRAs (but better than what we have now). I assume I just ignore the letters?

 

I thought that only MBNA can DF?

Hi everyone,

 

Trying to get our credit files back on track and have all DFs accounts removed apart from Idem who don't give a damn.

 

I called Stepchange telling them to cease payments to Idem. We haven't paid Idem now for 3 months now and have received letters asking us to contact them (we haven't).

 

However, Idem is reporting the same accounts as either DM or AR depending on who they're reporting to. I believe they should be reporting DM on all the 3 accounts as per the ICO's guidelines because we are on a plan (even though they refused to accept reduced payments).

 

So, in terms of trying to get this DF, wouldn't DM markers be better? If DM markers are reported, and after months of non-payment, wouldn't this show that they're incorrectly reporting and that we've actually DFd?? AR simply show that we're in arrears, which they believe we are (even though I've argued that after years of AR we actually have DFd).

 

TY

We stopped paying Idem last November 6 months ago (pretty sure November they didn't get a payment).

They're still reporting us as either AR or DP.

Clearly we're not on a plan and I question the whole notion or reporting in arrears when we've DFd on payments.

 

Do I still continue to let this run for longer, or lodge a complaint with Idem?

They've written once to say they didn't get a payment and to call them (we didn't).

No, they have never mentioned DF before - I would have been ecstatic because at least that's a step towards a clean credit report! They maintain that they can report AR until I die.

 

They're reporting DP to 1 CRA and AR to another. Not true in either case.

About another 3 months before complaint, let them really hang themselves

I have scanned all the pages - there are hundreds of them, so I will sit down and blank out personal data.

 

As a side question, if I were to offer Idem to settle, but only if they delete the account from our credit records, what would be a 'sensible' amount (assuming they agree)? 50% offer? I am likely to come into a sum of money, and as our main goal is to move ASAP this may be the quickest way to clean up files. So rightly or wrongly, I will need to explore this.

Thanks, but that doesn't answer my valid question. I have many scans to go through, so in the mean time......

 

Can someone help advise please?
