    • Commercial Landlords are legally allowed to sue for early cancellation of the lease. You can only surrender your lease if your landlord agrees to your doing so. They are under no obligation even to consider your request and are entitled to refuse. You cannot use this as an excuse not to pay your rent. Your landlord is most likely to agree to your surrendering the lease if they want the property back in order to redevelop it, or if they wants to rent it to what they regards as a better tenant or at a higher rent. There are two types of surrender: Express surrender in writing. This is a written document which sets out the terms of the surrender. Implied surrender by conduct. (applies to your position) You can move out of the property you leased, simply hand your keys back and the lease will come to an end, but only if the landlord agrees to accept your surrender. Many tenants have thought they can simply post the keys through the landlord's letter box and the lease is ended. This is not true and without a document from the landlord, not only do you not know if the landlord has accepted the surrender, you also do not know on what basis they have accepted and could find they sue you for rent arrears, service charge arrears, damage to the property and compensation for your attempt to leave the property without the landlord's agreement. Unless you are absolutely certain that the landlord is agreeable to your departure, you should not attempt to imply a surrender by relying on your and the landlord's conduct.  
    • I had to deal with these last year worst DCA I have ever dealt with. Just wait for the constant threats of CCJ and how you'll lose in court and how they won't do medication and they want the judge to question you with a load of "BIG" words to boot with the letter. My case was struck out in the end, stupidity on their part as I admitted to owing the debt in the end going through the court process was just a formality as they wouldn't let it drop despite me admitting the debt regardless. They didn't send the last part of the court paper work in so it ended up being struck out
    • Well, that's it then. Clear proof of the rubbish cameras. Clear proof of double dipping. G24 won't be getting a penny. Belt & braces, I would write to the address LFI has found, include the evidence of double dipping, and ask Fraser Group to call their dogs off.
    • LOL. after sending Perch capital a CCA request with a stapled £1 PO attached (x2) Their lapdog Legal team TM Legal have sent me two letters today saying "due to a recent payment on the account, your account is open to legal/enforcement action" so i guess they have tried to apply that payment to the account to run the statue bar along. dirty tactics lol.
    • I have initiated the breathing space so ill wait. from re reading everything this what i understand BS gives me 60 days break from the creditors during these 60 days they may contact me and will most likely default I need to wait until after a default notice to see whether the OC will keep the debt or sell it off If kept by the OC then i should attempt a plan or pay some token payment? If sold to DCA then don't pay and after 6 years it will leave my credit report once the DN is registered with a date. DCA may start a CCJ but unlikely, if they do come back here. last question, do you know roughly how long this will all take? in terms of defaults/default notice, potential CCJ? Would you say I have 12 months plus from when the BS ends?

    • 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.

If you want help from us then you will have to provide us with all the information that we think we need to support you.

Please let us know the name of the dealership which has sold you the car and is now withholding the money.

 

We will also need details about the car – make, model, year, price paid – and maybe other questions will need to be answered

 

Also, what is the name of the MOT station which carried out this most recent MOT which you think might be questionable

Is this the company?

How far away are you from them?

Yes please, I think the name of the MOT station is essential.

Have you informed the police about this?

Please read up what we have to say on our guide to buying used cars and also what we say about when you pay by bank transfer or when you pay by cash

I suggest you go back to the police and report the car as stolen.

The police won't like it and they will try to say that it is a civil matter because you permitted the car to be taken away – and you will have to insist that it is now beyond the time for its return and in fact that you have been conned out of it and it is stolen.

You will have to stand your ground on this.

We need as much information about the MOT station please. Do you have a copy of the MOT? Is there a way of getting a copy of the MOT?

  • dx100uk changed the title to Motor Firm, Peterborough. sold dodgy car and now won't transfer money back after collection

I understand that there are two MOT is – is this correct? The MOT certificate which was new and which was supplied with the vehicle – and then a second one that you had done independently to cooperate the condition.

I would like to know more detail about both the MOT's please.

I understand that you have a written report from the mechanic who then checked the car over. Is this what you posted above? I haven't look at it yet

I haven't noticed the MOT certificates.

Also, if you have to bring a county court claim – as you surely will, this will have to be done by these elderly people you are assisting

Also, I asked you how far away you are and you said it was 20 minutes. Earlier on you said that the people who bought the car were quite far away.

Did you get a receipt for this money? Did you pay into a company bank account or into a personal bank account?

If you look at the companies house link that I posted above, you will find that there is a single director for this company. I would suggest that you check the land registry web search site to see who owns the property at which this person is registered.

 

It will cost you about three quid

Sorry in your earlier post you said that she did have received. Now you're saying that she doesn't have a receipt.

As the WhatsApp confirmation from a personal WhatsApp account or some kind of organisational one?

I'm trying to work out whether you have an action against the company, or an individual – or both.

I know that these people you are helping are elderly, but chucking this kind of money around in this way is pretty reckless

Still waiting to hear about the identities of the MOT station.
There is a possibility that one could threaten an action against the MOT station which would produce some pretty unexpected and unwelcome pressure on the dealer.

However you need to give us the answers that we have been asking for

Everybody should expect to be scammed by dealership, especially when they want cash.

No exceptions.

 

Yes, I think she should sorn the car.

What about the MOT station? Why aren't we getting this information?

I had thought that we had been given the date of purchase and the date of delivery of the car – but it doesn't seem that we have done.

Please can you give us a chronology

Okay I think the important thing is that you took delivery of the car on 27 January. This is the same day as the MOT which declared that everything was okay and that it was a Pass.

Then within three days you had an inspection and a report that it was extremely bad condition – in fact dangerous, contrary to the Road traffic act.

Clearly the evidence points to the probability that it should not have passed its MOT.

I linked you in my earlier post to a thread involving a van which also received a questionable MOT and the action that I had been suggesting there because the dealer seemed to be pretty well inaccessible.
I seem to remember that eventually the matter was settled – but read it anyway and you will get an idea what I'm thinking.

It certainly seems to me that you need to begin an action.

Read the linked post above and then let us know what you think.

Don't imagine it's going to be easy or straightforward or quick.

It might be worth hesitating before you begin the sorn.

 

 

I suppose that if something happened to the car then there could be insurance problems even though it isn't really your responsibility

 

It might be worth giving notice to the dealer that you are doing this and putting him on notice that all liabilities after that will be with him

I haven't looked through the whole van thread again but seem to remember that eventually he received his money and so it wasn't necessary to proceed.

I might be wrong. There are so many stories here that I easily get confused.

Anyway, the point of finding out the MOT station is that on the evidence it would seem that the car should not have passed. The dealer may be inaccessible – although we should keep on trying, but the MOT station is likely to be very accessible.

Also, you can be certain that the MOT station and the dealer know each other and that means that if you start put pressure on the MOT station, they will involve the dealer.
The consequences for the MOT station if you bought a case for misrepresentation and the court agreed that the MOT should not have been passed, would be extremely serious.
In other words the MOT station has a huge amount at stake and this might help to put sufficient pressure on the dealer to pay back your money in order to bring an end to it.

Yes, I would suggest that you contact other people on Facebook who are having issues and tell them to come to this forum .

 

I understand that you are also receiving advice from citizens advice. If that is the case then you should stick with them. They get paid and we don't

 

Do not send any letters or emails without us seeing the draft first

I don't understand whether there you are deciding to follow advice from citizens advice or you are going to take advice from us.

You will find conflicting approaches but also, our time is shortened our resources are stretched and we would like to know what you are deciding to do.

If you want to give citizens advice ago then do so but let us know and you can come back here later if you decide that their approach is not for you

I'm sure that it is a very distressing event and also very undermining of confidence as well .

Just to give you an example from Facebook groups, there are over 30,000 people on Facebook groups relating to Hermes. I have spent hours trying to correct people's view of what their rights are and trying to correct the false information that many of them are handing out.

I've explained to those people how we regularly sue Hermes and other courier companies and we always win and everything we do is free of charge – and out of the 30,000 people I expect that less than 10 people have come over.

I don't know why it is that people like to talk and exhaust themselves and then they dwindle.

You should get everybody to come here and tell their stories here.

Even if they don't want help, the information they have will be useful to other victims.

 

Also, it will help the subject climb up the Google rankings and make other people more aware and also understand that there is a source of help for them .

 

Many people are desperate and are ripped off and don't know who to turn to and eventually simply put up their hands.

 

That's what these kinds of dealers rely on
