Needs a bit of work. Pers I would remove the line about mb being responsible for repairs. I'd also add the retailer as well where you mention MB being responsible elsewhere under your consumer rights 

 

As for engage, ring record the call and ask if this is to take it to be repaired? As it can't be repo as no default nor termination letter have been issued

I had been asking them to collect it and inspect or repair because it was undriveable. The garage kept it on site for several weeks whilst MB played at silly buggers, and the garage started charging storage at £30 a day. Engage had to pay £450 to collect it.

lets see a copy of the original independent report

 

in order to get anywhere with your complaint, as I have said before you are going to need a CPR compliant Independent Engineers report

Well I wrote to them exactly as advised.

They picked up the car three weeks ago ostensibly to look at it.

 

Now three weeks on they have not replied to letter telling them I consider contract void.

 

They have today issued a default notice saying I need to pay the last three months arrears - (despite them having the car and it not working since September). 

 

UPDATE: 

they rang me about the arrears and I asked them when they were going to sort out the car.

 

they said I can pay the arrears and pay £870 to have the car delivered back to me.

 

I asked why I would do that considering my letter of 16th November telling them I consider the contract void.

 

I asked if the car has been repaired- she didn’t know.

 

after various to and fro, the car has a gearbox problem and is unroadworthy- but if I pay the £870, I can have it back and repair it myself.

 

apparently I cannot raise a complaint and I will need to go to the Ombudsman if I wish to take it further.

thoughts please?

what part of the repeated NEVER EVER converse on the phone advise slipped your mind.

 

you put the phone down stating WRITING ONLY.

I did refer them to the letter. They have resolutely refused to respond in any way other than a default notice which will obviously have a big impact on my credit if it goes ahead. What else can I do? I’ve followed all the advice on here and this is where I am. I can’t ignore it.

I sent them the report and they said it was general wear and tear.

 

they said they’ve now inspected the car and the gearbox is broken rendering it undriveable and if I want it back I need to pay for it! 


Mini told me it needed various things doing- gearbox wasn’t mentioned!


they won’t accept any other complaint and told me to go to the ombudsman

I don’t know if it was CPR Compliant- I got it from the Mini garage the car was towed to. 
they said to do more investigations would be another £200.

I want to know if I can avoid the default or not?

I sent them the exact letter recommended here, and got nowhere.

:frusty::frusty: we need to see the report(s)

 

post the report(s) here as a PDF please read upload

then @theoldrougecan check if they are CPR compliant for you??

 

then we know what cards you are playing with.

 

who says the default notice? is legitimately recorded? the FOS might not think so.

 

so what you have a default, not the end of the world and if the FOS decide in your favour, would be removed.

I’ve now received a letter from Moneybarn, saying that after an inspection, they are adding £25 for a polish to my account and £850 ‘agent fees’, then the car will be sold at auction. They only expect it to make £4k leaving me £9k to pay.

they previously wrote to say that the car had several things wrong with it- as I know, it was undriveable.

does this seem right?!

Which is why for months we have been banging on about you obtaining an independent engineers report 
or even posting up what you have
