    • 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,

My wife has been going through our paperwork and found that a company that has put a charge on our property signed us up for PPI that we didn't want.

 

If we had realised that we had this PPI then we would have claimed when she was made redundant which was the cause of the debt in the first place.

 

I was just wondering if we can get the charge off the property as the figure the of charged us would be incorrect as they have this PPI included in the costs.

 

Before anyone says...

Yes it was our own fault for not reading the paperwork correctly in the first place:-(

 

Thanks in advance

Hi DX

The company is Creation Finance which I beleive are a DCA .

 

The Debt was for a personal loan for a car from Carcraft in Birmingham (which was rubbish and completely failed in just over 2 yearsand carcraft

would not honour the extended warranty they talked my wife in to).

 

The debt is in my wifes name and we did not realise we had this PPI on until recently.

 

The car was purchased about 8 years ago

 

Originally the car was around 5K but the charge is for 18K

wow you got royally stitched up didn't you.

 

maybe better to start a new thread on the PPI issue.

 

did you know bout the court claim

did she get forms before they got the CCJ?

 

£18K for a £5k car, is really a stitch up.

Thx again DX

We didn't receive the court forms before she got the CCJ.

 

I think they sent them to an old address,

however we got the charge put on our current property.

 

If I had known they were taking it to court then I would have gone and fought it.

 

Unfortunately I got some advise on another site which has now closed down which advised me not to bother fighting the charge on the property as they would have got it anyway.

 

With the benefit of hindsight I would have gone to court but didn't know of this site at that time

if the paperwork was sent to the wrong address you should get it set aside.

 

when was the CCJ taken out against you and by whom..creation finance or a DCA/solitor?

 

have you a copy of the CCJ?

Hi,

 

RBS have a charging order on my property. I reclaimed the PPI and they have offset against what was owed (I got the interest though) and subsequently the balances on my Credit file reflect the reductions. Additionally, the DCA have written and confirmed the new amount outstanding, and are still suggesting calling and getting a further reduced settlement figure/arranging a monthly plan.

I presume that you cannot reduce the judgement order per se, but maybe they should update as part settled?

 

Anyway, all this is academic until you make your claim, so go for it and i hope that you win.

 

Good luck!

 

urm.. if a dca is offering a discount on a CCJ, something is very wrong here.

were they the ones that took you to court?

 

have you your own thread?

The CCJ was taken out by a company called open and direct. I beleive the y than either sold the debt to Creation Finance or Creation could possibly be a subsidury company. We have not got a copy of the CCJ

Sorry, it was their solicitors Irwin Mitchell not a DCA. The wrote saying although the CO in place RBS still would like to resolve the matter, and to call to discuss a settlement figure or payment plan.

PPI reclaims:

RBS: Received stat interest on premiums - £2345, awaiting premiums refund (possible offset)

Blackhorse: Confirmed upheld, awaiting letter - circa £2k

 

Charges reclaimed:

Barclaycard £800 + 8% - Full refund

MBNA £780 (incl. 8%) - full refund
