    • 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

 

I'm new to this site and it's my first post so please be patient with me.

 

My situation is that I took a 2nd charge mortgage with Swift in 2006. Last year I began challenging them and requested full disclosure on my mortgage contract. I then stopped making payments as they failed to disclose what I had requested.

 

This culminated in my going to County Court and making an application for full disclosure. I did not get my processes quite right as a LIP and the judge declined my request due to my not siting a clear cause of action. Anyway, I began making payments again as I feared repossession. However, I sent them a SAR which they have just responded to. There are large parts of my account history that have been redacted! Can they do this?

 

Also there is no mention of any securitization of my mortgage loan to a third party. I'm not sure this is the case.

 

They are now chasing me for arrears of £8,547.80 and charging £64 per month while the account remains in arrears! They further state that all charges are added to a seperate balance running alongside my loan which will attract additional interest daily and increase my loan balance and loan term.

 

Having read some of the threads here I realise some of you have been dealing with this shower and having success around charges being repaid etc.

 

I would really appreciate any advice in this respect and/or help with my next move as I forsee things getting stick in the not so distant future.

 

Kind Regards

Swift is very strange.

 

I do not think I have read (so far) of anyone actually managing to pay anything off even close to the original debt value +stated interest.

 

Seems they somehow have managed to legally swindle people.:mad2:

It is on the grapevine that a certain Swift customer has just obtained a Judgement ( Friday) against Kestrel Loans No 1 Ltd ...one of the companies that Swift had sold all their loans to..........this judgement although in the County Court............is a very important Judgement............no Defence was attempted to be filed and was out of time by 3 weeks.

This will impact on Swift Advances plc severely.......so take heart.
