    • 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.

I couldn't see an Amex thread so I wasn't sure where to post this.

 

 

I have an Amex credit card with a £5k credit limit and yesterday I was £200 over that limit.

 

I have been in India for a few months and have been in dispute with a Hotel since I checked out on the 5th October.

 

They had my Amex details from my reservation, but I had used an HSBC card to settle part of the bill during my stay.

 

The Hotel have finally got fedup dealing with me and have charged £2700 to my Amex card, which Amex have approved.

 

So, my current balance is now £7900 against a £5000 credit limit.

 

In my T&C's Amex say that they may allow transactions above the credit limit to go through without it being regarded as a credit limit increase.

 

I am awaiting a response from Amex, but I am arguing that they should never just allow a transaction through that was 54% of my existing credit limit, when I was already over my limit, and in doing so they are effectively extending £2700 of credit to me that I have not asked for.

 

Also, of course, as my actual limit is still £5000, my minimum payment required in December is now close to £3000 in order to bring my account back under the limit!!!

 

I'd appreciate any advice anyone has in how to deal with this.

Did you tell Amex about the dispute ?

 

Hi, yes I did tell them because I saw that the charge was "pending" on my account - my understanding was that the charge had been approved by Amex but not actually charged to the account. Amex told me that they routinely allow charges to go through - for example at petrol stations, if you are over your limit.

 

They said that there was nothing they could do, even though I was telling them that I did not want this charge to be allowed through onto my account.

 

They said that I can dispute the charge once it shows on the account, but that leaves me in a weaker position with the hotel. And actually it's a different issue. My argument is that Amex shouldn't allow me to go 54% over my credit limit without consultation.

I have a number of cards and personal loans that began defaulting 2-3 years ago.

 

However, my AMEX card appears to show as "delinquent" on my credit file.

 

Does this mean it could potential remain in this status for ever (unless paid) or will it disappear along with other defaulted accounts after 6 years?

 

I make a token £10 payment monthly. And I am being chased by a debt collector, although it doesn't appear that the debt has been sold.

 

Can I request/force them to default the account?

 

Any help appreciated.

stop paying 

make them default you then resume payments.

 

safe to ignore powerless DCA's 

until/unless Amax sell the debt on.

 

please don't hit Quote...just type we know what we said earlier..

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,

 

My Amex card account has been showing status of "delinquent" for a couple of years.

 

I have other cards and loans which all defaulted in 2018/2019.

 

The Amex card has just changed to "default" this month, meaning it's still going to show on my credit report for a couple of years after everything else has dropped off?

 

Anything I can do about this, to get the default date amended - technically it should have defaulted at the same time as the others.

 

Cheers

Credit card delinquency refers to falling behind on required monthly payments to credit card companies. Being late by more than one month is considered delinquent, but the information is typically not reported to credit reporting agencies until two or more payments are missed.

 

Do you know the precise date it showed as delinquent, xxxx 2019 ?

Now showing as Defaulted March 2021....some 2 year's later instead of 2019 therefore extending the statue of limitations by two years extra.
