    • 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

A question if you don't mind. Firstly some background - I am currently progressing claim against Nat West for my bank charges over the last 6 years. And am thinking of doing the same with regards to the credit cards I used to have.

The bit i am not sure of is about a year ago now I went into a "debt management" scheme with Eurodebt. basically I pay an amount to Eurodebt each month and they pay tiny amounts off the credit cards and loans etc...

 

If I was to claim back the charges from these cards would this put the whole debt management scheme in jepordy?? And should I approach Eurodebt with this suggestion first.

 

The way I am thinking is that it wouldn't suprise me if the charges where quite high a few of these accounts and they basically could write it off against the debt still owed to them (or even better write off the debt in leu of paying back the charges.

 

Please help if anyone has any suggerstions as to what to do or what the outcomes could be

 

Cheers

Drew

My opinion is that the two things need not be related. The card company acted unlawfully in applying charges to you account and you should recalim them. Eurodebt do not need to be involved.

 

When it comes to the credit card company paying you back (which they will), you can insist they pay you by cheque so you can choose whether to use the money to pay off Eurodebt or not.

I think you will have inform Eurodebt if you recieve settlement, as under your agreement you will have to disclose any 'windfalls'.

Natwest can demand that the refund you receive pays off the money you owe them.

Also if you manage to get a cheque from Natwest they will be expecting a better monthly payment through your Debt management program, and if they don't recieve one they may pull out of the agreement, as they will have proof that you have got more money.

 

I have a DMP with Payplan, and as far as i am concerned if they use the refunds to pay off what i owe them thats fine by me,

 

Hope this helps

If youre in a DMP you have to include all your creditors or it wont work. They allocate a precentage of our funds to each comapny based on the amount you owe

 

YOu have to share your available income between all your creditors.

No the credit cards are not with nat west (Cap 1, Mint, MSDW, & Egg also Debs store card)

 

Like I said I was hoping that I could put the claims in for whatever charges I have had over last 6 years and basically the credit card companies can keep it and wipe out the balances for all i care (would rather get rid of the debts)

 

What i was really worried about is if I start the process will the credit card companies start playing silly buggers over the payment plans that have been set up.

 

And thats why I was thinking should I speak to eurodebt first.

 

Cheers

Hi Drew.1

 

I am in the same position - I have a DMP with CCCS - I spoke to them about it and the above is correct.

 

If you are successful then the funds would have to be repaid to the o/s debt!

 

It should not have a negative effect on your DMP. Best thing to do would be to speak to Eurodebt.

 

Good luck with your claims!

Hi Drew -- just a quick question, do Eurodebt charge you for their services??

 

If they charge a monthly fee, then you must consider changing to one of the free providers of the same service, ie Payplan or CCCS.

 

Best wishes.

Halifax - £2281, successfully refunded all charges after LBA letter & telephone call.

Have been offered the difference between the £20 and £12 charges from Capital One -- am sending LBA for remainder.

GE Money - Received settlement of £441, being total charges requested. No interest though.

CCA'd Bank of Scotland / Blair Oliver Scott to produce CCA Agreements on two Credit Cards - well in default, although still chasing payment!!!

EOS Solutions "ceased action on account" on behalf of a friend.

 

All in all, quite busy at the moment and enjoying every minute of it
:eek:

Hi Drew.1

 

I understand how difficult it is with everyone and I resisted going into the DMO - I tried to organise my payments myselft through National Debtline -but since handing it all over to CCCS its been much easier!

 

Can you change over - if you can it would be worth it, and you can check progress of your DMP online! Its a good feeling to see your debts being reduced each month! I find CCCS very helpful.
