    • Hello, welcome to CAG. Thank you for the information. To answer your question, we don't recommend appealing at all. It will be a waste of your time and you could end up outing the driver. Ask any questions that you have but basically you keep an eye on this, keep the correspondence and if MET ever they send a Letter Before Claim/Action. If you get to that stage, we'll suggest being proactive. Best, HB EDIT: Could we see the other side of the PCN please? Sometimes there is information that they've left off.

    • While I agree with getting it done by an authorised dealer in this case, for future reference a stop/start battery for one of these cars are about £120 and anyone with a £40 BMW specific scanner off of Amazon can "register" the battery.

    • 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 am looking for advice please. 

I had major debt issues starting in 2018. April this year all my debts were prescribed under Scots law.

All companies wrote to me saying accounts were closed and amounts zeroed. Including lowell.

All companies closed the credit file reporting zero balances and account satisfied, apart from lowell who continue to report open and owing.

I have complained to them and transunion and also now the ico.

All three continue to say lowell is in the right ie the 6 year default date etc.

However , how can this be as ,

is it not the case that prescribed debts in Scotland cease to exist unlike englands where its just not legally enforceable.

I have no problem that they want to report for 6 years , my issue is it should be accurate.

In my mind the debt ceased to exist in April, not open and owing as lowell are stating.

I have re complained to the ico and also complained to the fca and fos.

Any advice please?

Am I right that prescribed debt is different to statue barred? 

Many thanks

you are getting things mixed up 

the SB date is quite correctly 5yrs if you took the debt out whilst resident in scotland

however that does not change the default notice rules under section 87 of the consumer credit act.

once a default notice is issued and that date registered on your credit file, on the DN's 6th birthday the debt is removed from your file. regardless to paid off or not or paying or not. does not mean the debt is/is not still owed mind.

just because a debt in scotland has reached the prescribed date of 5yrs does not mean its removed from your file, that controlled by the DN .

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 thankyou for your reply.

So have the other debt collectors just been overly generous? 

I understand the need to report but surely the information needs to be correct?

I was under the understanding that under Scots legislation, prescribed means no longer exists as opposed to not being legally enforceable? 

Again thankyou for your reply , I just don't want to keep pushing if I'm in the wrong.

correct debt no longer exist in scotland its extinguished however that does not change the consumer credit act nor the rules credit files act under.

if lowells want to be pedantic and show a debt figure still owing, thats their problem.

if the debt is defaulted regardless to the balance figure that will still kill your score if thats what is worrying you..

Sorry il make this my last reply. Me and my wife both had 5 or 6 defaults each all in April 2018. Only one of mine was acquired by lowell. None of my wife's.her credit score went through the roof when all were closed . Mine stayed the same due to lowell still reporting. 

Again thankyou so much for your advice , i hear what you say .guess il just wait til the 6 year date. I just didn't want to waste my time pursuing a lost cause. Cheers

what is the registered defaulted date from the Default notice sent by the OC and registered on your credit file?

the debt should not be showing if that date has passed 6yrs. and a DCA cant change that date either.
