    • 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.

Apologies its the bank loan not the cards.

 

Had a letter yesterday from Bank. Passing account to DCA and awaiting contact.

 

Last contact must be 2016/2017? by phone. In fact all contact has been phone.

 

That said bank agreed would contact again in 3 months to assess situation again. But never did.

 

However no contact until this current letter.

 

 

The account had a default notice 7 Years ago in 2013.

 

Although no CCJ and now wiped from credit file Experian.

 

 

  • Would this debt be statute – barred?

 

Many Thanks

DCA's view debtors as suckers, marks and mugs

NO DCA has ANY legal powers whatsoever on ANY debt no matter what it's Type

and they

are NOT and can NEVER  be BAILIFFS. even if a debt has been to court..

If everyone stopped blindly paying DCA's Tomorrow, their industry would collapse overnight...

Hi

 

Apologies took me some time to find paperwork.

 

  • Default letter date December 2013

 

  • The last payment was in December 2016 (£30)

 

Expect statute barred  no use here. As payment in December 2016 reactivates the clock?

 

 

 

 

Many Thanks

Hi

 

 

Thanks for the reply.

 

  • Bank is M&S

 

  • DCA is Moorcroft

 

  • Notice of assignment?

 

  • Debt sold unsure. Phrase is ‘take responsibility’

 

 

This is the gist of letter from Bank:

 

 

“We want to let you know we have now asked Moorcroft Debt Recovery Ltd to take responsibility for your account.

 

Moorcroft will contact you in due course about the outstanding balance on your account.

 

They will only use your information in accordance with our instructions and UK Data Privacy laws. Blah ..Blah..

 

Please forward all future payments and queries direct to Moorcroft, using the contact details in their introductory letter.”

 

 

I guess will wait for DCA introductory letter?

 

 

Many Thanks

Moorcroft do not buy debts just chase..... so won't be assigned.

Hello,

 

Many Thanks for looking at this Dx + Andy.

 

  • Today we have an introductory letter from DCA as expected.

 

  • Also a letter from Bank with attached cheque to compensate for service received from Collections team?

 

Should i wish to make a complaint call them or write?

 

Very bizarre......

Not a million miles away from Stat Barred. @dx100uk or @Andyorch would cashing the cheque count as an acknowledgement and reset the stat barred clock again?

No....because payment to the debtor is not considered an acknowledgment of the debt....although I would pay it into an account not associated with M&S.

Update.

 

Followed dx100 advice ‘totally ignored the DCA

 

DCA

20 letters

50 phone calls

 

DCA Gave up passed back to M&S

 

 

M&S passed to new DCA – again ‘totally ignored the DCA

 

Poked the bear - sent CCA request to M&S enclosing postal order fee £1.

 

 

M&S response:

Letter 1 - Thanks for recent payment (£1 postal order for CCA) offset against debt.

Please contact DCA in future ….. not us.

 

Letter 2 – (signed for) CCA complete copy of original. Received within time allowed.

 

 

DCA response:

DCA letter – Thanks for recent payment to client. We have created a repayment plan to pay monthly sum. Please pay directly to us etc…

 

 

In retrospect maybe don't send a postal order when requesting original CCA. Thinking this may have restarted SB clock for 6 more years?

 

Or just  ignore DCA completely

 

Many Thanks

The po can't be used to reset SB. You have proof it was the statutory CCA fee.
