    • Also I see that you are doing a lot of this on the telephone – and without any written confirmation. This is a big mistake. You need to start taking this matter seriously and so everything should go in writing. If you have telephone calls then they should normally be recorded. Read our customer services guide. You should make notes about every telephone call and then you should send an email to your telephone correspondence confirming what they have said or what they have agreed. It is important that you keep detailed paper trails here. Of course we may be jumping the gun and maybe big motoring world will step up to the mark – but I'm afraid that they have a lousy reputation has you have seen and so you need to start practising survival techniques and protecting yourself. You say for instance in your letter of rejection that the mechanic told you on the telephone that the gearbox needed replacing. Do you have any other evidence of this conversation? This is going to sound a bit harsh – but other people will be visiting this thread as well for their own purposes. You conducted their research about this company before you bought the vehicle. You now are fully aware that this is a company which can be very difficult to deal with and causes a lot of problems for many of their customers and yet you are still taking a telephone/verbal approach. Do I need to say any more? Also one of the documents you put up is an email exchange but it is not clear who is writing to who or what dates. If you showed this email to somebody in a pub they would be asking lots of questions about who sent the first message, who sent the second message, what dates were they sent et cetera. Please think about this before you post things. Please can you clarify the details of that email exchange. Please will you present the information carefully.

    • 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.

Have just checked the royal mail web site and its saying item still being processed through the system, I sent this off a week ago...I presume I should probably resend?

 

Also, going back to the DN, are either of these (posted above) correct, from reading other posts I don't think the second one is, but not sure which one I would have to rely on if this went to court? I'm sure I read someone that there can only be one default notice served..is this right? and if so why did Sainsburys not register the first one (which would obvioulsy drop off my credit file sooner and is for a smaller amount, because they whacked on a load of charges between the first and second DN's).

 

Really would appreciate some help on this one...its starting to get me worried as I'm pretty sure Crapot will take this one all the way because of the application form/alleged agreement and which is for rather a substantial amount.

 

Many thanks :)

I wouldn't worry about the Royal Mail. It has probably been delivered - a lot of stuff doesn't get signed for. In law if you send it and it doesn't get returned to you, it is deemed to have been delivered. I wouldn't worry about Cabot taking you to court either. They are all mouth and trousers.They would need to produce an agreement in court and they don't have one.

I've been trawling through Pinky's excellent Invalid Default Notices thread and hoping someone can tell me if I'm right in my thinking on the DN's i've received from Sainsbury's Bank.

 

The first one dated 19 Sept 2007 gives me until 3 Oct 2007 to pay arrears of £XXX, which is 14 days, but it appears they have not allowed anytime for postage (2 days 1st class, 4 days 2nd class) so effectively its at least 2 days out...is that right?

 

The second one is probably invalid because they sent the first one anyway, but this one is dated 8th Apr 2008 and gives me until 13 April 2008 to pay arrears of £XXXX (increased due to lots of charges) obviously 5 days is way out.

 

The second one is what is showing on my credit file, next question is should the date of default on my credit file be the date of the DN? I think probably not because it means they registered the default before I would have had time to rectify it (had I chosen to).

 

Thirdly...should they have issued a Termination Notice after the DN once it was clear I hadn't paid anything?

 

Grateful if you could let me know if my interpretation is correct and also whether companies should issue Termiantion Notices (I never received one after either DN).

 

Thanks :)

Hi DM,

 

Nice work looking up the info, it's better if you know what you are talking about/looking for in case you need, rather than someone telling you why!

 

You are totally correct with the dates, 14 days is not enough for service ;)

 

The 2nd one is only in play, if you paid the arrears on the 1st one.

 

Now, where you are confused is the 'default notice' and the 'default' on your Credit check.

 

These are 'TWO' totally seperate Issues and should not be confused.

 

A default notice is completely different from a default on your credit rating.

 

The default date/stat barred date may be a little different but should really be from the time the first payment was missed, so If you was due to pay on 1st Jan 2000, the stat barred date would be 1st Jan 2006. The default date would normally be 2 months later. This stops them putting the default on the account on the 1st Dec 2005, to keep the account alive for another 6 yrs.

 

Thirdly, if the people chasing you are claiming they owe the account, then is has been terminated, its as simple as that. If it has been terminated, it's unlawful, thats why you only owe the arrears :D

 

 

Hope that helps

You'd like to think they'd need to produce an agreement but this post is ofa concern if the contents of the original authors posts are true

Thanks for that :)

 

I have been making token payments of £x per month on this account since I got into difficulty, however i'm presuming that won't count as paying off the arrears will it? Even if it does I guess the fact that the second DN is duff would then come into play anyway. Therefore it won't become Statute Barred for 6 years since my last token payment which was quite recently and by this time the default would have dropped off anyway.

 

If and when Crapot get back to me and state "the cca Sainsburys have sent is enforceable" (which we think its not) what would be my best course of action? Should I mention iffy Default Notice(s) then, if not, what should I be saying to them?

 

Thank you :)

 

Deb T - I'm hoping that person just got a ropey judge and that most others would send the DCA packing!

Royal mail website tracking still saying my recorded delivery letter is progressing through their system.....hope its got to Crapbot, they probably get so many letters they don't sign for them! No doubt i'll hear from them one way or the other in the next few days...

Received a letter from Crapot saying they note my comments and have contacted Sainsburys about my CCA, account on hold until they get a response...response will no doubt say we have complied and will send me another copy of my application form and a set of T&C's to go with the 10 copies of each I already have!

 

I guess it will then be time to argue about the DN's? Any help gratefully received :)

 

Another question about the DN..surely once they have sent a DN any fees and charges should cease? If that is the case the outstanding balance on this account should be £800 less than what Crapot are claiming, what should I be doing about this? I'm finding it all rather confusing :(

wouldnt even mention the faulty d/ns to them..you have made your position perfectly clear..send me a compliant cca..until you do so you will be receiving nothing..zilch...the faulty dn you can keep until and if they ever issue court proceeedings..which is highly unlikely...crapbot have a habit of adding to debts..charges to which they are not entitled..i dealt with them by insisting that they stop the illegal charges put the cca before a judge...OR go away...after 2 and half years of letter ping pong which i now refuse to do they still have not put before a court...and from what they have said on phone they never will..they are happy for me to take them to court to prove validity of cca but why the hell they would think i would do this is beyond me..stick to your guns no cca = no money and if they want anything then they should issue a court claim and take it from there...

Thank you :) i get a bit nervous over these things, then all the helpful CAG people come along and help put my mind at rest. What I don't want is them heaping on charges and making the debt even bigger and then taking it to court..then again I don't intend paying them a penny..i should take store by the fact that if Sainsbury's thought they had a properly executed CCA they would have taken me to court as there is quite a large outstanding balance...but I will sit tight and keep fingers crossed they don't suddenly come up with the proper documentation :)

let em heap it as high as they like...it would be interesting to say the least for them to explain to a dj why they have doubled trebled the debt..without resorting to court action months/years ago...stick to your guns they will go away with tail between their legs once you make it absolutely clear they aint getting another penny without the correct paperwork

Fingers crossed it won't get that far...they couldn't produce even an application form for my Goldfish account and haven't updated my credit file for getting on 18 months on that one, but as they will at least have an application form for the Sainsbury's one I am not expecting to be able to get shot of them quite so quickly...unfortunately :(

I'd send it now, the earlier the better. Send it recorded, don't sign with your usual signature and keep a record of the postage details

no always send it before they can initiate court action the sooner they realise you have some idea of how the system works the better it is...if they know you are likely to contest a ccj they are less likely to issue one
