    • 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,

 

I started my fight with credit cards early in 2008 by unfortunately using an agent who acted on behalf (stupid I know),

he has now gone walkabouts so I am carrying on myself.

 

I had an M&S money credit card which was opened in 2006 and during the time the agent was looking after te letters etc a credit agreement never appeared.

 

I started receiving letters from DLC with regards the debt and I sent the a CCA request in

which they have now returned a signed copy of the agreement and a statement of transations.

 

Can anybody please advise what I need to do next as I have no idea if the agreement is enforceable or not, my signature is there and it is dated.

 

Also looking at the statement of transactions M&S have added a substantial amount of interest

onto the account since it was originally disputed are they allowed to do this?

 

Sorry one more thing, how do I know if the debt has been sold to DLC as I have never received a letter from M&S stating this?

 

Thanks

Hi, can anyone please offer any advice on the following. I have a thread on the debt collection industry subforum but I am not sure it is in the right place. The thread is http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?258767-DLC-have-provided-Signed-Copy-of-Credit-Agreement.

 

In summary I have been provided a signed copy of the CCA however the default notice is apparently defective as there was no time allowed for postage. The debt has been sold to Sigma group who have now updated the default on my file with themselves as the creditors. I have had a DCA turn up at my house twice in four days last week and I am sure he will be returning this week. Is anybody able to offer any guidance on some questions I have please:

 

1. If I send a letter to DCA and Sigma stating they do not have permission to attend my property without an appointment, will this is any way form a basis to them that I acknowledge the debt or am I safe to send this?

2. Sigma have sent me a letter thanking me for my payment which turns out to be 2gbp) in which I haven't made. Is this a trick to make it look like I acknowledge the debt?

3. If the Default notice is defectice what should my next step be, should I inform Sigma of this?

 

Any help is much appreciated.

No, don't inform the OC or Sigma that the DN is defective. Has the account been terminated?

 

In the case of my M&S 'Special Reserve' account I received a defective DN (no time allowed for service/14 days from date of letter as yours) but I don't recall receiving a TN. However they demanded repayment in full of the alleged debt approx 17 days after the issuing of the defective DN which I accepted as their termination.

Thanks Rob, No I haven't received a notice of termination. The DN is dated the 27th of the month but the default on my file is the 29th of the month 2 months later. Should the date on my file match the Default notice or at least be the letter date plus the 14 days allowed me to pay? I received a letter 20 days after the DN date registered on my file asking for payment in full within 3 days or make arrangements to pay.

 

Do you know If I can send the DCA a letter trying to stop them attending my property?

 

Also is it worth sending the new creditor an SAR to see what information they hold?

 

Thanks
