    • 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.

This is kind of what I was thinking. To me it should either be defaulted by the OC ages ago.

 

Or when it was sold in 2019 and given to someone else. To do it now seems absurd.

I can do that then this weekend. Although neither DCA or OC reports this on my file so assume that’s not an issue?

 

Just typing this up, can't find a direct template via the search bar so guessing its just a polite letter asking if they can look into it.

 

When the plan began, was paid on time and feel penalised that whilst making good on my end, this is actually more detrimental than being defaulted at the time. And other creditors at the time defaulted myself.

 

And that really between 3-6 months it could have been defaulted.

 

And then see what they say?

what would have been your 3rd missed or short payment date.

i would expect this to be week 3 of your DMP?

pers i think i'd leave this well  alone then ....do nothing until/if the DCA does try and file a registered defaulted date via a default notice under the CCA section 87 (which they can't do) the D they are spouting about means nothing as no-one else bar you and the debt owner can see it. 

 

the letter you posted is simply a termination letter that they are quite able to issue but in real terms means nothing again toward your file.

Can I just ask what you mean here, I thought if I had a search made a potential creditor/bank would see this wouldn’t they?

can't keep repeating myself.

 

no one doing a credit check can ever see the calendar section of any debt.

only you and the owner of the debt can see that.

Sorry to correct you dx  but one of the main things a prospective creditor will examine is the credit history of the applicant.

unless the summary status of the debt is says 'late payment' other creditors cannot see the calendar section... only you and the owner can.

Where are you getting this from DX, it is completely opposite to the information I have from Experian. I would think a prospective creditor would want to know, say, how old a default is?

It should be, of course.

There should also be mention of it on the information page.

a D in the calendar section cannot be reported in the summary/information section about a debt as default.

it is NOT ... no DN has ever been issued to allow that. it would be reported there as late payment if at all.

The situation is this.

If the debt had a default recorded before a payment arrangement is made. And the creditor agrees to an arrangement, then a D. should not show on the file. However, if one month is missed the creditor is permitted to mark it with a D.

 

What you have to argue is that this is unfair, especially if some  other marker, had been applied in the interim. What you want is the marker on the account then for it to be backdated.


A default or missed payment is always viewable to any prospective creditor, if it wasn't, there would be no point to having one.

both of which ONLY appear in the monthly calendar view which any prospective creditors cannot see (unless they own that debt) even if they do a hard search. not sure how many more times we need to point this out.

 

such markers would however impact your credit rating score.

Why are you rocking the boat?

When vanquis sell these to arrow or whoever, they usually default the account and backdate to when the arrangement was made. I say usually, not always, that's where the trouble starts, when they do not backdate they default,  then you have to remind them.

We? Dx the credit rating is based on what the CRA think the creditors will make of the report. So if it affected the score, they must think the data is available to the prospective creditor. Simple logic.

Frustrating after almost 6 years after the payment plan with the OC but 

 

Arrow have slapped a juicy default for this debt now for April 2021 on my file and begun reporting to agencies for the next 6 years.. 

 

Saving grace is they haven’t given me a compliant section 87 default notice if they take it further.

this has been on my mind the past few days and I can’t help but feel it’s all a bit unfair as a system.

 

In hindsight I’d have been better off not making any payment at all & just defaulting 5 years ago with the OC.

 

AG aren’t a creditor, they didn’t extend me any credit (in fact I’ve not had the ‘credit’ for 4-5 years to begin with due to the repayment plan) yet they can put a default on my file in 2021 that potential lenders will see until I’m almost 40..

 

For me any agreement was terminated at the point of debt sale. Which again was 2 years back now..

 

Just having a moan/rant I suppose. I understand that’s the way it is & the situation I’ve gotten into. But still stings.

Re the above. Vanquis removed the marker the same day as my last post, no contact no apology yet again. That restores my 100% success rate.

 

Bad news is that I will not be able to use this case, It would not be fair on the debtors, who are very elderly and have had enough, dont blame them. However at least they now have a clean CF.
