    • 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.

Whilst an agreement of 25K or under SHOULD state it is a regulated agreement if it doesn't it's still a regulated agreement.:D The fact that it doesn't state that it is is just another reason that it is unenforceable;)

I would add to Zubo's excellent post that the only reason creditors & DCA's have in the past successfully obtained judgment against debtors for unenforceable agreements is because those debtors didn't dispute the claim. :mad:

 

In other words most CCJ's have, in the case of regulated credit, been awarded by default. The difference now of course is because of sites such as this consumers are becoming aware of their rights & as a result are now empowered to take on the bully boys:D

Hi

I am afraqid that there is nothin in the 1983 regs to say the signature box must accompany the schedue of finanfcial requirements if fact tothe contrary the OFT says

 

Signatures

All agreements are to be signed by both customer and trader, or their representatives, and the date of signature entered. The customer’s signature and its date must be inside a box. This box can be of any size and appear anywhere in the agreement, but the wording inside it must be easily legible and must follow that for the appropriate type of agreement as set out in Appendix 2. The signature of the trader and its date must be

outside the customer’s signature box. Similarly the signature of any witness, and its date, must also be outside the customer’s signature box.

Regards

Peter

The agreement would be regulated by the CCA 1974. The fact that the heading is wrong is just another thing wrong with it and another thing to challenge.

 

That's cleared that up then:D

Hi

Absolutely

The other thing about the heading is that it is missleading the debtor into signing something he is not .

This may be used in conjunction with section 127(1)(ii) with a view to unenforceability.

Just to add to JonCris's comments here, I also believe that the vast amount of people who are unfortunately not aware of their rights and therefore proceed to pay these bully boy DCAs without making a stance, must seriously offset the amount the DCAs lose by the challenges they do receive from folks "in the know" due to sites such as this one....and so the DCAs back down time and time again when they are seriously challenged by folks who ARE in the know as it just isn't worth the time and money to argue the case.

 

Many of them are probably not even bothered that they cannot provide properly executed agreements because the majority of the population will never ask for one...if you see what I mean. Sorry to have waffled but hope you'll know what I'm getting at :cool:

Please note I am not legally qualified, I am offering advice based on my own personal experience in the hope that it may be of help to others in a similar situation.

I know exactly what you mean!!!

 

go spread the gospel - I despair that the people who really really need our help are not here... these are the most vulnerable and regretably (in the nicest possible way) the most ignorant.

 

If you meet anyone like it, then tell them help is available - at no cost!!!

I had a CCj awarded against me because of ignorance. Although due to fall off my credit file next Feb I've written to Amex demanding (if you don't ask, you don't get) that it should be removed immediately as it was placed there illegally (perhaps I should have used unlawfully) as there was and still is no agreement in existence hence there is no debt and if there is no debt how can a CCJ be applied for? At their own admission, all they have provided me with is a copy of the original application form. I now Gizmo reckons that it is pointless trying for this but who knows? In addition, I've also got Amex over the barrell regarding the non compliance of a full SAR!

JonCris, That was the problem. I did admit it but didn't defend it. I knew no better. We're talking Feb 2002 here. Debt collectors ruled then, they don't now. There were other anomalies that came to light recently when I looked at paperwork eg. no default notice. I know it will be difficult but it's worth a try.

Sorry aboit the size, I'll try to reduce it.

 

Just noticed that yes, the credit limit is mentioned.

 

However its not mine!

 

The T&Cs state that credit limit will be £150, £500, £1000, £1500 or £2500.

 

My original credit limit was £1400.

Following on from what you said yesterday, I have written to Amex asking them to take the County Court Judgement off. I bow to your superior knowledge ( I am aware of your occupation) so can I assume that if I ask for a Set Aside, Amex could oppose it, or am I barking up the wrong tree?I'd hate to waste sixty five quid or whatever it is!
