    • 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.

the T&C's are def post the application form

 

as they mention £12 fees

 

that didn't come about in 2004

 

they were much higher

 

toilet paper

 

and the issue of interest esp if you were still paying the token payment

should come into play too

Hi

i was cecking up on my credit file for this debt and just wondered

 

 

- I have not made a payment or acknowledged anything since Jan 2011,

They have sent me letter via various DCA's and I have not replied,

 

 

was just looking at my credit report and it says the default date is 26/07/2010,

 

 

so I wondred will it drop off my file file in July this year or Jan next year?

 

Is it 6 years from default date or payment date or whichever is earlier or later?.

All references to a defaulted debt must be removed from your credit files after 6 years

has passed from date of default, whether paid off or not.

.

{the WHOLE ACCOUNT WILL VANISH, never to return}.

.

{however, this does not mean the debt itself is not still owed

consider a CCA request.}

.

This is so that someone who continues paying something

- even after 6 years from default

- should not be at a disadvantage to someone who pays nothing after default

and ends up with a clean file after 6 years.

.

HI Dx,

yes I posted the so called agreement (post #46) that they sent to me

after I did a CCA request to them

- it had all sorts of issues and I believe we dscussed it

and they would need to send me the orignal agreement?

the T's and Cs they sent are post the application form

as they talk about the £12 fees which were'nt around in 2004.

 

 

so if this drops off in July that'll be that then?

well that's kind of what i'm worried about,

I was paying it direct to Marbles,

then for no reason they sold it to 1st credit

who became extremely agressive with me when i was paying it

but they wanted me to pay more.

 

 

I never denied the debt in the beginning but their agressive tactics made me angry and so i stopped paying.

 

 

I just need to know if they could take me to court after the 6 years is up?

don't confuse defaulted date

with SB date.

6yrs from last payment, then its covered by the limitations act.

and they shouldn't be doing or threatening court.

as any judgement cannot be enforced

 

 

iys not unknown

esp if they don't have your correct address and do it via an old one

but

as the SB defence will kill it dead if they did.

I wouldn't worry about that

as your address to them is correct?

yes the

ah ok, sorry I meant SB date, so that won't be till Jan 2017 then.

 

They do have my correct address,

 

it's been from 1st credit to Drydenfairfax, then to cabot, fire, back to cabot I think it's with Lowells now!

 

can't remember now but I get a letter once every 3-4 months and I ignore them as the so called agreement which was supposed to fulfill my cca request doesn't!

Hi All,

 

Well just checked new report and this account has now gone.

 

sorry didn't mean to end that comment right there.

 

If I receive anything else from Cabot or Lowells then what can I do now?
