    • 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,

I have the 4 following debts...... but 3 are mine and the last one is in my nme but was opened fraudulently ( thats another story )

AquaCredit card : £4400

Hitachi Capital Finance: £5070

Vodafone: £214

FashionWorld: £170

Stepchange tell me my payment amount will be £114 each month.

MY question is :

Is it possible i can get some of this debt written off....and which company do i use to help me with this.....and do they charge for this?

Did you run through information on these debts with Stepchange ?

 

If yes, then Stepchange should have thought about any debt relief solution that might have helped and decided none was available to you, because of income, assets etc.

 

But tell us more about these debts and your current circumstances.

 

There is no magic debt write off solution out there, which does not have an element of pain. E.g DRO, Bankruptcy.

We could do with some help from you.

YES ... stepchange are aware. £114 a month is do-able for all 3 debts..

 

I only live in rented accommodation...council... I ran up my credit card then took the loan out from Hitachi to clear it....then I got divorced and moved into new avcomifation that needed decorating so I ended up spending again.

 

My own stupid fault admittedly.im over my aquacard by 350 quid but that is purely interest and OL fees

Hello all,

 

I was on a repayment plan with Cabot , initially £30 a month then I raised it to £50. 

Today I received a letter saying they have reviewed my account would like to increase it to £64.

They go on to say they make routine reviews and also when they do this, they make additional checks which includes credit bureau information.

 

I am not happy to increase the payment but there is no option to decline.

I am afraid that if I don’t accept, they will stop the current plan and begin to pile interest.

Current balance is £3052.52.

 

Anyone know what I can do in this situation?

 

Thanks

They have frozen all interest and this is why I agreed to make payments. I literally just want it gone and out the way. My account was defaulted in the end.

It was Aqua card but I couldn’t find my previous posts ,as they’re quite old,  to add this to.

so still doesn't mean you blindly pay a powerless dca...

 

they are NOT BAILIFFS.

 

how old was it...when did you take the card out?

 

it will never be gone whilst you blindly pay a DCA and run the statute barred date to infinity..

 

ever sent these fleecers a CCA request?

even thought...why did aqua sell my debt on for 10p=£1 toa DCA and not take me to court and crush me.??? urm..i wonder why....

  • dx100uk changed the title to Cabot and old Aqua card debt - keep wanting me to increase payments

How are you making payment...Direct Debit ?   Switch it to a standing order of £50.00 ...and inform them same and that you are not in agreement with their review or increase.....particularly during the current climate...leave as is.

I pay by Standing Order

 

Aqua closed the account and it opened with Cabot.

So how else am I supposed to pay it back?

 

Been on a repayment plan for 3 years and few months and they never reviewed it until now.

 

so what’s your advice from now then dx?

today I received the following email from Cabot.

 

 
 
 

YOUR REFERENCE NUMBER

 

 
 

Human score    Trustpilot Stars    number of reviews    Trustpilot Logo

 
 
 

Your overdue debt requires urgent action

 

Hi Yesilgozlerim,

As you're not making payments to your Aqua Mastercard - Credit Card, your account has been selected for legal action by our solicitors.

If you continue to ignore us and do not take action within 26 days, your account will be passed to our solicitors who will then look to obtain a County Court Judgement (CCJ).

This can have a negative impact on your credit score so it's important you understand what the consequences of not taking action are.

What do I do now ?
