    • 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.

So my loan details:

 

Capital Payment: £450

Interest Repayment: £183.12

Transmission Fee: £5.50

Other Charges: £20

Total on promise date: £508.62

Paid: £150

 

---

 

Defaulted at £734

Paid so far: £230

Balance: £448 (not correct on CRA)

 

---

 

The £150 above is what I think I got them to remove from my loan as I wasn't paying it. Should I only be paying £450 + £183.12 interest + £12 default fee in total making my balance £415.12 not £448?

 

I really need to go over my emails with them again.

 

I think I need to ask for a breakdown of charges

What charges? None. nadda, nil. unless the amount justifies the expenditure on what it is allocated to.

Any advice i give is my own and is based solely on personal experience. If in any doubt about a situation , please contact a certified legal representative or debt counsellor..

If the default amount is not accurate yes. However it would be right if they have added charges and you havent reclaimed them.

well they have sent me my statement and when added up shows that the defaulted balance is wrong. It is near impossible to communicate with these people.

 

I've been going around in circle for about a year now. I replied to the email with my statement and all they did was send me my statement again, then they sent me the 'please phone us email. Now they are saying they can't remove the default (never asked then too) then they said they couldn't find any payments since November 2013 and I needed to send them bank statements and a credit report so I have just sent them screen dumps of just the info they needed and nothing else.

 

I have also cancelled my S/O as if they haven't received payment for the last 8 months why haven't they been chasing me for it. Lets see how long they take before they ask for it.

Personally I think there is a lot of misinformation regarding what can be charged, what can be reclaimed and how to do it , how long they can add interest charges etc. The new plans by the FCA will give a top limit but there are also the OFT guidance on debt collection to think about which is still valid and referred to in the FCA sourcebook.

 

One problem is these companies have different styles of loans and different terms not to mention different sets of ethics

Any opinion I give is from personal experience .

UPDATE:

 

After complaining more times than I can count Wonga have finally corrected my current balance but have removed my default. Will this mean that I have to have this paid off before the 6 years can start?

 

Stated date = 29/06/2012

Arrangement start date = 01/08/2012

Arrangement end date = 01/10/2012 (even though we are still in an arrangement).

 

If is better to have an old default from a PDL company on your file or an on going satisfactory one?

If you think you are not being treated fairly by Wonga, then you need to escalate your complaint to the Ombudsman.
