    • 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.

Does anyone know if I can charge contractual interest on a Monument card.

 

I think I have made a big mistake. I sent my LBA 14 days ago and added the interest @ 8% but I am now wondering if this should be contractual.

 

If it is, can I amend this?? I am about to file a summary cause.

Claiming 8% is the std way and therefore the most straight forward.

 

Claiming CI is more complicated and also makes the banks sit up and take more notice of your claim.

 

If you are considering this, I suggest you spend a couple of hours going through some threads where it has been claimed.

 

use the 'search' and type in 'Contractual Interest' and you will have a list of threads that include this phrase.

 

If you need advice immediately, to anything, go into the chatroom and you will find a plethera of knowledgable memebers only willing to offer their help.

I have been in dispute with Monument aka Barclays since the summer regarding my credit card charges. I passed the complaint onto FOS who are still dealing with it. Today I have received a letter from a debt recovery agency saying the debt has been passed to them for recovery. If I am in dispute with Barclays are they allowed to do this? The same has happened with Capital One.

Hi, Tracyab.

 

Just found this......

 

Under s13.6 of the Banking Code the bank is NOT allowed to pass on a disputed debt or make reports to the CRA's.

the amount owed is not in dispute; and

for repaying your debt, following our formal demand.

 

Also under the OFT guidelines for collection they are not allowed to ignore your dispute and the act of "selling" to a DCA a disputed account would breach this.

At the same time send something along these lines to the DCA:

 

ACCOUNT NUMBER: XXXXXXX

 

Dear Sirs

 

Re: Account in Dispute

 

I am writing to clarify that I am in the process of requesting a refund of credit card charges unlawfully made to my account and that my claim is currently being investigated by the Finacial Ombudsman Service.

 

I note from your letter dated xx/xx/xx that you are proposing action to recover this alleged debt. I need to make you fully aware that I am disputing the sum owed and, as such, you must refrain from any further action until this dispute is fully resolved by the FOS.

 

A copy of your letter has been forwarded to the FOS.

 

Yours sincerely,

Can anyone please advice me on the following, which I have copied and pastied from my equifax report. This is the first time I have viewed my report from equifax (I am more familiar with Experian). The following debt as you can see is from Monument, who I defaulted on, who then passed it on to Lowell (at the same time that I was disputing the late payment charges). I won the late payment charges back from Monument and advised Lowell that this account should never have been passed to them as I was in dispute with Monument. Anyway, I told Lowell that my charges were being refunded and Lowell said that they would wait to hear from Monument as the account would be passed back to Momument, which I think they did. I dont understand why Lowell have recorded this debt as a default... Can anyone please advice? I don't want this showing on my file!

If you have been returned the charges they have to remove any default caused by them. They have no argument.

 

For lowell to have been able to issue a default a notice of assignment should have been sent from the OC,

IVA Entry Removed

Nationwide Default Removed

Nationwide Joint Account Default Removed

Natwest Default Removed

Thanks for your replies. I have called Lowell today and was told that I do not have an account with them...'no s***t sherlock'. I told the guy that they have defaulted my Equifax report and this should be removed as the account was passed back to Monument who repaid the charges to me and the account with Monument is now closed and settled. He told me that he would send me a letter and I should send this to Equifax. I told him that he could still send me the letter, but I think they should still be contacting Equifax to report this as this is false and my credit rating has been affected because of them. Is sending these letters to people usual practise?

hi tracy

 

as usual, the leeds loosers are fobbing you off

i had this with lowells and put them in there place,

default gone with in 48 hours

send them an email to there complaints dept

demand the removel as they are processing your data with no legal authority.

head the letter letter before action and give 14 days for compliance.

 

dca have a direct link with the credit agencies so you do not need to contact the credit agencies, they do.

 

will be interested in the contents of any letter they send you

 

i feel they said about the letter to get you off the phone, then they just binned your complaint

 

send the email, they have to reply

I have just came off the phone to Lowell regarding this default. They have advised me that the they bought the debt from Monument in Nov 2007, which does not add up as they defaulted me 2 months prior to this. The woman in collections was being very obstructive and asked me what information I have as to when I was defaulted. I told her that I was not willing to give her this information..I don't want them changing there details. I have told her that I will be requesting a S.A.R. Is this the right road to go down? Should I call Equifax too?

I read his thread lastnight with much interest. I only wish I came across it sooner so I could have donated to his cause.

 

I will send for a S.A.R first of all from Lowell. Do you know if I can get Monument on defaulting me whilst my account was in dispute because of the charges. I read that they cant default you if this is the case. I did complain to the FSA regarding Cap 1 doing the same thing to me and they wrote back saying that Cap 1 had every right to do this.

I have checked my Equifax report today to check the status of my complaint to get this default removed and I can see an answer from Lowells stating 'delete and remove default. Thanks'. I really want to go for compensation because of this. I know UK26 is going down the same route. Should I wait to find out how he gets on or do you suggest starting the ball rolling? I have requested a SAR from Lowells.
