    • 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,

 

 I have discovered a issue with an Egg loan that I've been paying off since forever and I think they have stuffed me on the starting balance.

 

Getting to the point of my post, I took an Egg loan for £4000 in February 2001, paid it for 7 months before becoming unemployed and defaulting on the loan.

Much happened at this time and I ended up moving a lot as well as being technically homeless.

 

I finally got settled and entered into an IVA with Eversheds for £5.00 per month in June 2005 and have since been making payments.

 

My issue is that having paid over £2,900 the balance is still in the region of £3,147.86!

 

I DSAR'd Egg back in 2011 and have the information in the attached PDF.

According, to their own information they defaulted me 29/04/02 when the balance was £3,697.39 and marked non-acrr.

The balance remained the same, or at least no changes shown until 20/11/02 when a £60 "Waive Fee" and £226.04 "Bad Debt Charge Off" fee increasing the balance to £3,983.43

 

Next change is when the loan account is sold to Arrow and the balance becomes £4,859.43!

 

Opinions and advice very welcome!

  • dx100uk changed the title to Egg Loan details correct?

Accounts currently being merged to Master Chief 

 

The balance owing is  £3,697.39  less £2,900 payments.......no such terms as a £60 "Waive Fee" and £226.04 "Bad Debt Charge Off" and a DCA cant add a penny.

Hi

 

Have you received any monthly statements for this account?

 

Dont worry its very unlikely they would be able to enforce anything.

 

I mean any more statements, they cant charge any more interest if they have not. CCA 77a?

 

What happened to the IVA? Are you now on a DMP

@Peterbard

 

There are some statements I'm sure, what's the relevance?

 

I say an IVA, I just agreed to pay them £5 per month to start which has increased along the way. All can be seen in the linked PDF posted earlier.

 

Hi @dx100uk, I thought the CCA was page 1 & 2 in the linked doc, provided to me by Egg as part of the DSAR.

 

May I ask why a CCA request is the way forward to challenge the balance?

 

thanks.

If it was an IVA it would have effected your property. Easy to get in not so to get out, whereas an agreed arrangement you can just walk away

 

Yes it seems to be. These were challenged in  appeals some years ago, because the term for Total Credit read "Limit" or some other . There were also other prescribed term issues, sadly it failed, and I dont think they have been challenged since.

Thank you.

 

I requested the CCA and promptly received a reply, stating that they no longer charge for CCA requests and included my £1 postal order.

 

My original request was sent 25/11/21 as yet no CCA or further response.

 

What now?

Nowhere.....you requested it they have been unable to comply.....they are therefore in default of your request and legally unable to enforce the agreement in a court of law.

Thanks fo rthe relpy @dx100ukBut I still have a standing order, which has been paid from inception of our arrangement. Are you saying that I should cancel this and stop paying?

 

My thoughts were more along the lines of complaining to the FOS about the ilegal charges.

 

What's my end game by ceasing payments?

@dx100ukSorry, it's been a long time since I have trawled this forum and I clearly need a refresher. They are actually only 4+ weeks overdue with the CCA, I didn't send it until Nov this year, but obviously they are still in default.

 

 

I kind of thought, remebering old threads on here that the whole challenging CCA's in court was dead, due to judgements being made more on balance - does the debtor actually owe it? Rather than missing/incorrect terms.

 

I'm not trying to avoid anything, just ensue that the balance owed is correct. As it stands, they are asking for double bouble and no way am I paying that. The balance corrected will mean the finish is in sight and manageable.

 

If the route that you are all suggesting is a way to achieve that then I'm game.

 

Thanks to all that have comented and helped so far.
