    • 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.

And Presto!!! As if by magic, tis done. :)

 

Thanks, Anon o Mod.

 

So, it could take up to 10 weeks, eh? Silly Cabot. You KNOW you don't have that long. Why aren't you getting ALL the docs in your big bundles of misery that you buy. You know you should really, but you don't. Even though you KNOW by now that the chances are high that you'll be asked for them. Oh, but of course. The CCA doesn't apply to you, does it?

 

OR SO YOU THINK!!!!

 

I guess my ranting means, don't let them fob you off ,Spuddly me old china. They do only have 12 working days, etc etc from when they got your CCA. Let us know how you get on. :)

Hmmm. Well, since it has been confirmed to me that Cabot do NOT keep copies of letters they send you, and merely print another off from a template if you ask for said copy. And the template letter dates are automatically added as per the date of printing, it might appear at first glance that Ms Robertson has had this letter sitting on her desk an awfully long time.

 

Dunno what else to say really. Oh, except if it WAS a recent letter, they'd have told you they are returning your shiny Queen's One Pound, as the CCA doesn't apply to them. Allegedly. Assuming this letter is in response to your CCA, of course. (THis seems to be a new thing they are doing since I queried their right to the statutory £1 fee if they deny they are obliged to comply with a CCA request. I got my quid back too. But I'm not cashing their cheque. ;))

 

Although the nice Ms Robertson makes no mention here of Rights but Not the Duties, as they usually do. Hmm.

And as it's from a template, this will be going out to all and sundry :lol:

 

"Cabot have sought the advice of Trading Standards who have confirmed this does not apply to us as we are not the "creditor" and the accounts have defaulted."

 

First thing is, I suppose technically CABOT are not the creditor. There IS no Cabot. It's Cabot Financial (UK) Limited who are the new owners of an accounts, therefore THEY are the creditor.

 

(Ken's Cronies think they can try to use the Law of Property Act to sidestep their obligations, then accuse US of being "rogue ustomers" for daring to use the law to benefit us? CAKE and EAT IT spring to mind.)

 

And secondly, what the heck has it got to do with any accounts being defaulted as to whether or not they are exempt or otherwise from complying with the CCA? Deliberately misleading statement, or a very poor command of grammer? You decide.

HAHA. So they would like you to start putting incriminating words down in writing.

 

Of course, you'll have simply replied, "As previously advised, I do NOT acknowledge any debt whatsoever. I trust this answers your query."

 

They're not the only ones who can use twisty words. :lol:

Nevertheless, I'm sure that our friends will need to rely on it as no doubt it is all they have.

 

Which begs the question... if Citi KNOW that all they have is an application form, unenforcable in law, don't Cabot have a case to go back to Citi to ask what the feck they think they are playing at?

 

But of course, that's totally up to them. Isn't it, my little MIB chums?????

OOPS. As usual, I opened my big mouth. Of course, they DO have their new address on that letter. I only saw what I wanted to see. Apologies for the confusion.

 

OK, for the avoidance of said confusion, number 10 is their OLD address.

 

Number 1 (although number 2 might have been more appropriate in a childish pre-school humour sort of way) is now their new abode.

 

So Scarletpimpernel is correct. They have failed to notify Companies House, or it has been so recent that the change hasn't been effected yet.

 

But I'm sure the MIB will see to it that this little oversight is corrected. :D
