    • 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.

Thank you honeybee I very much appreciate this.

I don’t want to sound like a whinger but I feel completely on my last legs at present.

 

Here goes:

in April 2018 I took out a logbook loan with car cash point. The loan was for 2000. 


I fell into difficulties a few times but always got back on track within a week or two.

Due to covid I asked them ( they have on their website they were doing deferrals) for a deferral and I had a couple of them.

 

I paid an intermittent £100 here or there during this time.

I set up a further repayment plan of £80 per week beginning 12th December and made the first payment.

 

Unfortunately my aunt and uncle who were like second parents to me developed covid and one of them died on 20th December and the other on 22nd December so you can imagine it was a horrendous time. Tbh helping my mum get through day to day was my focus over those initial few weeks was my main aim. I didn’t keep an eye on my bank and my payments didn’t repeat.

 

fast forward to Monday evening I am driving home from work and receive a telephone call from a man telling me he was at my home to take my car and if I did not cooperate he would phone the police and report it stolen.

I said I would phone the police which I did and they confirmed they would not be doing anything as it was a civil matter.

 

This man continued to intimidate and verbally abuse me on the phone telling me I shouldn’t be taking things when I cannot pay for them and who did I think I was driving in a car that belonged to a finance company etc etc. 


the next morning I made a complaint which was passed to Burlington who surprise surprise won’t uphold it as the officer told a different version completely.

 

I had been trying for two days to negotiate with CCP to try and reset up a plan.

I sent 7 emails and finally got response tonight telling me I must pay £2800 by Monday which is arrears and Costs or the full balance of £3750!!!

 

They say if I do that they will cancel the instruction to recover.

But that at present the car is going to be lifted as soon as sighted.

 

I have not slept or eaten in 2 days. I’m a key worker with social services and cannot concentrate on my job.

I simply cannot find that money.

 

I am scared out of my wits that they will come to my parents house.

I live with them and they are elderly and I cannot tell them about this it would put them over the edge.

 

I simply don’t know what to do I am a nervous wreck and wouldn’t wish this on anyone. 
I took the loan for £2000 and have now paid in excess of £4700 back. 
so sorry for how long this was.

  • dx100uk changed the title to car cash point LBL - Burlington rep wants car Urgent help

quick advise is keep the car on private property outside of your use of it

get an sar off to CCP 1st thing tomorrow.

 

is this Burlington the car recovery lot or is it Burlington bailiffs i suspect the former as the loan has not been to court yet.

if so they are simply guys with flatbed trucks

they are NOT bailiffs

and have zero legal powers.

 

have you had a default notice please?

Thanks DX for responding to me. 
I got default notice quite some time ago when had missed a few payments but had got back on track after this. 


I am in Northern Ireland

not sure if this makes any difference.

 

It seems to be Burlington’s/ marstons if that helps any. 


Private property at my home.

Off the main road there is a driveway and the car would probably be visible from main road but I presume they would know it is private property.

 

My fear is that they would come in middle of night to collect it whilst we are asleep.

Thanks so much you might regret that lol.

 

Quick question

whilst I try to get the documents.

I see that the FCA have advised no repossessions until 31st January of vehicles.

Unless in exceptional circumstances.

Surely they have to adhere to that as they state they are part of FCA and adhere to their code of conduct

Apologies if this is not correct I have tried following all steps and put all pics into pdf but can’t seem to find them to upload

 

Sorry I see that this doesn’t look right.

Took me ages sitting trying to get all in place :(

do as above, this looks like it's total BS without it.

 

when you took this out was your credit file shot with

defaults 

late payments

multiple debts or loans

and you couldn't get credit anywhere?

Lol I’m actually scared to as I’m scared they will come to my elderly parents home. 
I stay mostly with my bf now and I changed my address with company 2 years ago and that’s the updated address though on my tax book is my parents address and the address on bill of sale will be my parents 

I put a written complaint into them also. Spoke to FCA on phone and they confirmed no repossessions are allowed to take place until 31st January
