    • 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.

MBNA sold debts that belonged to both me and my husband.

Idem bought mine,

Moorcroft bought my husbands.

 

I emailed Idem regarding reduced payments that I would make, and

eventually they responded agreeing to my reduced amount.

 

However, Moorcroft ignore emails (sent day after day)

and they will not reply despite my husband requesting that they not call, but put in writing instead.

 

They call anyway, and to whomever called,

I asked them not to call, but to respond to my husband's emails

- however, the chap then called my husband's mobile immediately!

 

I got a statement from Idem, and in exactly the same marked envelope (same return address, same statement format)

my husband had one from Moorcroft.

Does anyone know if this is the same company???

It's really cheesing me off that Moorcroft ignore all the emails.

 

Also, they're sneaky so-and-so's: they are based hundreds of miles away from us,

and yet they call the landline using a local number that they must buy to use,

to look like they're someone local calling us - idiots!

 

It doesn't take long for me to recognise the number and ignore it.

 

But, they're making me so mad!!!

 

I think I'm wasting my time re-sending the same emails but at least it proves the point that they're ignoring us,

dispite contacting them on a daily basis!

So Idem have sent a letter to my husband (they're still calling me daily) to say that he's in arrears, has no payment plan set up, and he may be defaulted or worst case that they'll send the bailiffs and/or refer to a DCA (I thought Idem were a DCA??).

 

I assume I still sit tight because they'd have to go a long way before bailiffs call (I couldn't let this happen though)??

So an update, and I must admit I am getting a bit worried now.

 

For my 2 DFd Idem/MBNA accounts, I get automated Resolvecall phone calls which I ignore. Someone did call out and they left a card. Nothing else. Automated calls carry on, but not daily.

 

But for my husband's 1 DFd Idem/MBNA account he doesn't get the phone calls (I assume they have no number for him) but a large A4 letter arrived from Idem, to let him know that they are passing his details to their litigation department (I haven't had this). They have enclosed the previous 2 years statements (they bought the debt in December 2016) and a 'pre-action information sheet'. They are asking him to complete an income and expenditure sheet. They say (and this is what worries me) that is they don't hear from him within 30 days, they will look to take further action. They then may:

 

* Obtain an attachment/arrestment of earnings order

* Obtain a charging order against your property

* CCJ

 

They say we have to do this to avoid court action. Having looked on this forum, I can see that Idem DO take court action so I am pretty worried now.

Looking on another site, there's a letter which people have been advised to send back, which demands that they prove that the debt is unenforceable.

 

Why does my husband have this and not me??

 

HELP PLEASE!!!

Do you have your husbands CCA ...or not?

 

As for Resolvacall - I had them call the other day - nice chap - told him to send it back to Idem as its 'unenforceable' ! 

He said "when did you speak to them" - I said "I haven't ...its ALL IN WRITING".  He tried frantically to phone Idem but then couldnt get on the internet with his works phone to find the password they required as he was speaking to them.    He left rather red faced and sloped a card in my hand.  I followed this up with a 'ACCOUNT REMAINS IN DISPUTE UNTIL YOU FIND THE CCA I AM STILL WAITING FOR'   letter to Idem, stating their harrassment dates / & harrassing Resolvacall visit/card.

did we ever CCA them?

if so when 

and what did we conclude?

from what I remember, the cca replies were illegible

Both of my CCAs were pretty much illegible.

 

My husband's form is quite clear though, but it was a simple 2 page form, which refers to lots of T&Cs. The actual T&Cs that accompanied the CCA was a photocopy of what would have been their standard T&Cs at the time apparently - not necessarily the exact ones he would have seen.

 

I have now had the same PAP letter for my 2 accounts saying that they're referring my accounts to their litigation department so all 3 accounts now passed to their litigation department. 

 

So 3 PAPs to complete. I have the CCAs so there's no point in asking for that again is there?

But in box D, what do I write as to why I'm disputing it? I will get these sent back to them over the next few days.

 

Re. post 232, if I had all the time in the World and a scanner I could have uploaded these docs. However, I will have to buy a scanner to scan the hundreds of pages, but I will. I will do this as soon as I possibly can. 

Thanks for the help.

Reasons for dispute
Yourself, Illegible returns to your s78 requests, invalid default 

Husband, incomplete return to his s78 request, invalid default 

Request ALL documents, including required,necessary default notices
from the Original Creditor

Let them chew over that

I received a letter today. So Idem has now "instructed" Westcot Credit Services to try and get the money from us.

Resolvecall seem to have stopped calling/writing.

 

We are still within the 30 days to respond to their PAP letter so why have they passed this to another DCA before our response?

Are Westcot just like Resolvecall?? Has anyone had any dealings with Westcot?

 

TIA.

Is it normal for them to bounce from DCA to DCA

 

Quick question about commenting about the default on the PAP paperwork.

 

I am obviously glad that Idem has defaulted us even though I know that they can't.

 

However, could they revoke it if I say that the default notice is invalid?

 

I have ticked the 'disputed' box because of illegible/incomplete return to S78 request.

But I'm worried that if I put 'invalid default notice' they could remove it and I'm back where I was with forever AP markers.

 

Thanks.
