    • if you have YOUR bank statements totalling who you paid and when regarding this debt.... and you have proof that unlawful fees/sums have been added to the sum adjudged in court from the HFC SD that you've now paid.... i would be putting all that evidence together and demanding cabot refund said figure in 14 days else you'll raise a court claim...but don't bluff. dx  
    • have you proved at what house was it left outside of & stolen from ...yours or the neighbours? the fact it was for a warranty return means nothing. neither does it that the repairer/retailer have special instructions with DPD for them not to leave a parcel outside unless specified by a customer ..you might have overruled them with your instructions on the DPD website, you stated, neighbour/safe space?? if it was left outside your door, which you appear to indicate RE: i can't see you winning this...you created your own problem with what you put on the DPD website?    
    • oh well i wonder what new fake documents they have made up then...for them to try this.... just to check nothing funky like Link have filed an n244 to lift the stay and strike out her defence....she hasnt moved since last court comms has she?   is this an n24? bit unusual for a 13mts stay to just be lifted... has she not received anything from link/kearns in the last fw weeks like a docs bundle? bit like this thread... https://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/topic/466576-lc-assetlinkkearns-claim-form-2-mbna-cc/?do=findComment&comment=5256397  
    • if the agreement was taken out jan 23, then she has not reached the 1/3rd mark so the car has not become protected goods under the consumer credit act.  this puts her in a very very vulnerable position regarding ever keeping the car....whereby once they have issued a default notice they can legally send a guy with a flatbed (though they are NOT BAILIFFS and have ZERO legal powers) to collect the car.  if the car is kept on the public highway then they can simply take it away and she will legally owe the whole stated amount on the agreement AND lose the car. if it's on private property i'e like a driveway, ok they shouldn't take it without her agreeing, but if they do, it's not really on but its better than a court case and an inevitable loss with the granting a return of goods order. are these 'health reasons' likely to resolve themselves in the very short term (like a couple of months?) and can she immediately begin working again ? i'e has she got a job or would have to find one?  answer the above and we'll try and help. but she looks to be between rock and a hard place . whatever happens she will still have to pay the loan off...car or no car....unless you can appeal to the finance company's better nature using health reasons to back off for xxx months.

    • 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 Guys,

 

I am in court tomorrow at 10am. I have never received SCMs court bundle and I spoke to a very helpful gentleman in the Defence and Allocations dept at the court on Friday who confirmed that SCM had not filed any documents there either. He explained that because of their failure to file I could request that any documents they have, are not used in court.

 

I am very nervous about tomorrow as I am not 100% sure what to expect but fingers crossed and good luck to anyone else with a hearing coming up

Hi Louise,

 

I am also due in court tomorrow at 10am, and called the court this morning to find out if they had received anything from SC&M - they told me that they had been informed today that they would be settling the claim in full and not attenidng. I called SC&M to confirm this and they said that they were not obliged to notify me in writing, only the court. I am now faxing through a letter to the court confirming this conversation, but drawing their attention to the fact that I have received no official confirmation of this and reserve the right to resume the case if necessary in the future.

 

Give SC&M a call and see what they have to say? Tel: 01273 205381

 

Good luck!!! :-)

Hi Lou,

 

Good luck for tomorrow!

 

if i were you, i woudl give SCM a call and find out where their documents are. Most likely, they have posted your settlement letter to you and didn't bother notify the court. Judging by the other "stories" on this forum, they never actually show up in court.

 

i can understand why you are nervous, i have a hearing date on 27th of March, but i'm sure that you will be fine.

 

Regards,

 

Vastrik

You'll probably find that they've faxed the court with an intention to settle - in which case request an adjournment for two weeks to finalise. Also request costs, see this thread -

Hi there,

 

When I went in to see the Judge, he had a letter from SCM, dated 8th Feb saying that they would not be attending. They had also enclosed a copy of a similar letter that they had sent to me, which I never recieved. In their letter they explained that they would be refunding the charges. However, as I had correctly claimed the interest under section 69(?) on my original claim, the Judge explained he was not 'bound' by their letter and has entered on his judgement that they must pay the charges, the interest, the court fees and, he has also granted me £50 expenses to compensate for the days holiday I had to take off work. He has oredered them to pay by cheque by 4pm on 27th February.

 

:)

 

Good luck to everyone else out there; It has taken a long time (first letters sent in June 2006) but it is worth it!!!!

 

 

Louise
