    • 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.

CSL are a powerless DCA

a DCA is NOT A BAILIFF

and have

ZERO powers on ANY debt you might have of any type.

 

their client will be stated as centrica 

 

if you want to deal with this , do so only in a letter but ignore CSL totally as you should any DCA on any debt.

only deal with centrica 

but I suspect in all effect there is very little they can do to you.

they certainly don't take people to court over it.

 

IMHO i'd ignore it

just ensure they have your correct address.

have you moved since then?

credit style do not own the debt, Centrica does

so are the only one that can instruct a solicitor to issue a court claim are Centrica not some tinpot powerless dca.

 

but ofcourse any real solicitor, not a fake/tame paperwork only or more correctly,... can I borrow your letterhead mr solicitor if I give you a cut should this mug cough up - dca use of it...will know they have to abide by the pre action protocol procedure and send a letter of claim first, not just issue a request to northants robocourt for them to raise a speculative court claim

std rubbish every fake/tame paperwork only solicitor sends out for DCA's every day.

no the dca wrote on behalf of their client, whom is the claimant not the dca wanting money.

 

going by a few threads here and what i researched when these were 'popular', i believe all what you state above being the case..but within your contract you will find the details of the bond, and its terms. if i remember these correctly, you would not have been employed had you not 'agreed' to the training and as you say above if you 'left' within 3yrs it becomes 'due'.

 

now you are cutting new ground here, as none to date, nor any indications on the entire internet, has anyone ever tried court before, which, is the main reason i think CST are flying a kite here, although the claimant is ofcourse centrica... but i doubt they are even aware the claim has been made upon their behalf.

 

although its not typically recommended, why don't you do give their legal debt a call (NOT CST!!) , and findout what they know/want. i can't be certain in this, but in the back of my mind, i'm sure that someone did contact them directly and they simply wrote it off and didn't know dca's had even been actioned..

 

as the online MCOL court process require acknowledgement and a CPR 31:14 request needs sending to CST, in the normal course of the claim, you would have no direct contact from the claimant. i'd go ring them and have a 'chat'...you never know!

so yes that was a PAPLOC then with a reply 'pack'.

 

you can request those docs within the CPR that goes to CST so no worries.

 

i'l post things later for AOS/CPR for you, 

 

can you scan the 1st pages of the letter of claim up to PDF please

read our upload guide carefully .....one PDF ONLY.

 

dont need the reply form, but need to see what they say as they state in their POC they have already detailed full particulars, so i suspect its in the letter of claim

well no details of how the debt is made there then, so their POC is trash and that needs pointing out later.

 

go ring centrica/BG, findout what is going on as it appears they are after the 2yrs figure of £6k and the £2781 is the outstanding having already had £3k as last wages grab back.

 

see what you can find out, but don't go ringing CST even if told too they will LIE.

the claimant will have to prove with documentation that you owe the money.

you can't jeopardise your position at all, like admitting etc.

their POC is pants they cant just say we've already told him what he owes.

 

as i say i suspect centrica have no idea CST have actually raised a claim i bet but of course must have given permission for it to sometime 'happen'
