    • It is not as simple as you seem to suggest. 1. My wife needed the car and there are no local public transport facilities within 2 miles. 2 Neither of us has the technical expertise to change a battery. 3 Not only does the battery itself have to be appropriate for stop/start technology; but also, according to the handbook, has to be registered with Mini by a recognised agent, which I am not, neither is Big Motoring World. 4 The car had to be towed. Where was I going to have it towed to where I could be sure it would be properly dealt with? I couldn't trust Big Motoring World to do it. I couldn't have it towed to just any garage and be sure they had the right battery and the time to fit it. 5 The high sum involved is mainly for the diagnostic test which Big Motoring World asked me to obtain; and they did not initially raise any objection to the car being taken to the nearest main dealer. I would not have got the diagnostic test, if they had not asked for one. So, I understand where you are coming from, but having ignored requests for reimbursement, what else could I have done to recover my lay out?
    • Thank you FTMDave.  I'm happy to make your suggested changes.  I'll wait a day or 2 to see if any of the team have any other suggestions or feedback.  Do I then just email a copies to both UKPC and the court? Lookinforinfo - Unfortunately I am not sure if the signs have since been changed and cannot recall seeing any on the night as it was dark.

    • I can't imagine that EVRi will want a judgement against them on this and based on this argument. I reckon you have a better than 90% chance that they will try to reach out to you before the trial date. They know that what they are doing is thoroughly wrong and dishonest and contrary to law. They are following this thread, of course – and they've already seen this witness statement. I imagine that they are scrabbling around trying to understand how they can extricate this without using too much face. I suppose they will make an offer to you which is a few quid short of your claim in order to say that they were justified in being stupid. Hold out for every penny. It's your money and you deserve it. It's not their money and they don't deserve it

    • 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.

Hi All,

 

Hopefully this is posted in the correct place? 

 

It’s been over 5 years since I received such fantastic help from you all with a number of debts I had for which I will always be great full for.

 

I managed to clear a Leeds and Holbeck shortfall, various issues Cabot and Egg to name but a few.

I managed to clear my credit file and finally get back on the property ladder. So thanks again. 

 

I have moved on and have have been living a stress “ish” free life with the Majority of worries left behind.

 

Now this is entirely my fault but yesterday I received a letter from Dryden Fairfax solicitors asking me to update my financial details. (The only one I never really dealt with) 

 

The history of this is as follows.

 

Initially contacted back in 2015 for an outstanding Mbna and Hsbc credit card and loan that had been passed to Max Recovery. Then passed to Dryden.

 

At the time I was new to this and stepchange were helping me and advised me to send an email in to all  creditors “acknowledging” the debts and offering them a £1 a month token payment which I did. I received an acceptance From max recovery stating I must pay £1 a month Until my circumstances changed.

 

I have continued to pay this for the last 8 years with little if any contact. Other than statements.

 

Nothing has ever appeared on my credit file

 

I never sent a CCA request. And just continued the payments and forgot about them. Which you could say was just burying my head in the sand

 

I don’t know if any thing has changed but ideally I want to put this to bed if I can I have since moved on and I’m in a better place both financially and mentally and I’m now panicking again! 

 

So my questions are as follows.

 

  1. Can I still send a CCA request even after all this time despite the fact I sent an email “acknowledging” the debt and the fact I’ve been making payments? 
  2. Should i update the financial questionnaire or ignore again?
  3. Idea ideas how to proceed now I’m in the position? 

 

 

 

Any help will be much appreciated once again.

Great thanks,

just not sure if I should send the CCA or just continue paying and ignore it’s a difficult one and can’t really see anybody with a similar case and  timescale as mine. I suppose I have to make a decision just don’t want to open a can of worms! 
thanks x

 

PS they also have my old address I didn’t update when I moved this year should I given them an updated address or not?

To be honest given that you are continuing to make payment why bother but I would update your contact details...you don't want them serving a claim to a previous address.

I see yes thanks, mail is currently being redirected so I better update my address. 
I suppose I can just ignore the financial details request update my address continue paying and wait for the next move. If I receive anything more serious I could then request the CCA?

are they aware by writing from you of your correct and current address?

appears so if they are sending statements?

 

if so i would simply STOP ALL PAYMENTS.

and ignore everyone totally until/unless you ever get a letter of claim.

then comeback here.

Hi,

 

they are not aware of my new address.

sorry I didn’t explain. I moved house nearly a year ago so latest letter has been re-directed to my new address. They currently don’t have my new address? I take it I should update them as Previously recommended.

  • dx100uk changed the title to Dryden/max recovery - outstanding Mbna and Hsbc credit card and loan - been blindly paying for +8yrs now

the hsbc card and loan would have i bet been turned into a 'managed loan' and then dumped into you bank account as an OD?

 

readup on managed loan in the HSBC forum.
