    • 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.

Threatening letters from CLI international - Debt collectors


Recommended Posts

CLI Letter - Threatening Doorstep visit on Scandinavian debt almost sb'd - Page 2 - Overseas Debt/Overseas Account issues - Consumer Action Group

Hi dx,

I have received similar letters from CLI re apparently driving in a restricted zone in a hire car in Italy over 2 and a half years ago.

I have ignored all their letters up until this point but the recent is the notice of personal visit. Do you know for sure that CLI does not have a license to doorstep and therefore are not able to carry out this threat?

If they were to doorstep and I was to answer the door I would give them a piece of my mind and say that I am going to call the police unless they leave. However I do not want them coming round whilst I am out and my wife or teenage daughter answering the door as they would find this distressing.

Any advice you can give would be great.

Many thanks

Hi

I have received several letters from a debt collection agency called CLI regarding apparently driving in a restricted zone in a hire car in Italy over 2 and a half years ago.

I have ignored all their letters up until this point but the recent is the notice of personal visit. Does anyone know if CLI has a license to doorstep as I read in a previous post that they don’t and are therefore not able to carry out this threat?

Any advice on this would be greatly appreciated

never heard of it

simply ignore 

a DCA is NOT A BAILIFF

dx

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...

Thanks dx,

I know you mentioned in a previous post that CLI do not have a license to doorstep. If this is the case I take it that it would be highly unlikely for them to knock on the door?

Getting tired and bored of threatening letters tuning up on the doormat every fortnight!

 

thanks again
