    • 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.

Hello, 

My husband had a debt with RBS which was sent to Cabot around 14 years ago, it's dates from 2004/5.

For 13 years he has paid a pound a month.

 

Suddenly, they are writing threatening him with CCJs etc.

We have, written again asking for the true signed copy of the CCA. 

 

The response was firstly to send another threatening letter and then to say they are, trying to get hold of the CCA. 

At which point would we put this into dispute finally. 

 

Secondly,

all of my debts are now SB but I received a letter from CABOT (never had anything from them before) informing me an overdraft from an account that went into dispute 11 years ago and was SB in 2009 has been passed to Ruthbridge. 

 

I am tempted to send a statute barred letter and tell them politely where to go,

would this be the correct course of action.?

 

Thank you for any advice.

Cabot have had your husband blind, disgusting. Paying a pound a month, so it won't go statute barred. Just ignore them, no CCA, no pay!

 How much is the debt for?

We could do with some help from you.

Hi London 1971,

Husbands debt is for £29k - it was given him for our now very defunct business by RBS.

 

We have asked for the CCA before in 2010 and I think they got it which is why they have had the pound a month.

They wrote again saying that they received our request for CCA and were getting it from RBS,

I am hoping that 13 years later they have not got it .

Tempted to put it in dispute .

 

Regarding the other SB debt

- how on earth CABOT picked it up I don't know that's for £3k an overdraft but I already spent five years fighting MARLIN re that and they agreed it was SB .

well as long as cabot have your correct and current address.

 

pers i'd send the SB letter to be sure for your OD debt

 

as for your husbands BUSINESS debt that he has been blindly paying running the SB to infinity.

they would need a signed personal guarantee as well as him signing the CCA on behalf of the company.

 

as the age of the business loan falls nicely into when RBS were castigated and latterly bailed out by joe public for lending £1b's to all and sundry without even the most basis of checks or correct procedures - i suggest thats why they sold it to cabot for peanuts, marlin just being another trading name.

 

ensure they are told in writing of his correct address , stop payments and ignore them

Sorry, just a quick one.

My hb debt with RBS is personal. 

Cabot have responded that they do not have the CCA so need to go back to original lender. 

10 years ago we asked the same and they did present eventually the original CCA via RBS, hence the pound a month. 

Could we place the debt in dispute as they obviously don't own it. 

But scared to just stop paying. We can do without Northampton charges right now.

so it is not in a business name then?

but ofcourse i bet RBS were well aware it was for business start up or WHY.

which is why they dumped a £29K!! debt for pennies to cabot.

 

shame you've blindly been paying for 13yrs mind...

 

have you sent a CCA recently?

Yes, we sent the first one in 2009 and had the same  "we don't have it but will get it" they then produced a true signed copy of the original from RBS

 

We sent another mid Sept and received the same letter.

I am now thinking that if they don't have it themselves we should be able to put it into dispute...

They don't have it , ignore them and stop paying!  Get that statute barred clock ticking. It's super unlikely that RBS will have it after 11 years.

you should have done that 10yrs+ ago when they failed the CCA then.

all you've done is pay for their drinks down the pub for all these years with your free money and run the SB date to infinity....we call it being cash cowed.

Thing is they were able to get one which is, why it's the only debt we didn't put in dispute. 

I suppose that's why we are concerned now as they could produce another one from somewhere. 

I spent years trying to sort it all out and most are SB. 

I will just send them an f off letter.

Who - Cabot produced CCA true signed copy in 2008/9. 

We - had to pay 

They - threaten CCJ 

We-  request CCA again in the hope they can't produce it now. 

They - send letter asking for income expenditure. 

We- ignore it 

What - now they say they need more time to get it. 

I can't just stop paying surely?
