    • 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, 

Ive received a CCJ application for a debt via Cabot.

 I’m unsure whether the debt is statute barred - how do I find out please?

 I’ve looked on ClearScore, which just tells me a date of ‘updated’ even though I’ve had no contact.  

 

I’ve signed up to Experian, but the debt is not listed on there.

Hi yes, county court business centre.  I’ve since joined Experian but the debt is not listed on there (but is listed on ClearScore).  However Experian also says I’m not on the electoral roll when I know I am.  The amount was originally £330 but bumped up to £415 with costs.  I’m not sure how to respond, as I have no details of the debt.

I’m sorry I don’t know.  I did receive a letter asking for income and the like.  I struggle actioning due to anxiety, and unfortunately buried my head in the sand.  Not helpful, I realise.  

 

If I was to call them and offer full payment, would they cease then action of CCJ?  Or would it still go on my record.  It says that if I admit and ask for time to pay, it will still go as CCJ - but if I pay in full, would it be halted?

No dont call them......or do anything yet apart from follow this advice.

 

Refer back to the link and read the section about sending a CPR 31.14 request and also a CCA section 78 request for a copy of the agreement.

 

You have 33 days in total to deal with the claim assuming you will be defending in full.

19 days to file your acknowledgment of service (you can do this all on line read the instructions contained in the claim pack )

If defending in full you then have a further 14 days to submit a defence...so 33 days in total.

 

So CPR and CCA request next......then register on line to use the MCOL portal....get your username.....the password is already provided in the pack.

 

You do not submit a defence yet.

  • dx100uk changed the title to Cabot/Mortimer claimform - old Aqua Newday Card Debt

Thanks so much.  I’ve done the letter cca request - I’ve kept IN the paragraph in blue, as I’m sending to Cabot, who aren’t the original creditors, is that right?

 

im also not sure about the CPR31.14 bit?  The link just takes me to some legal wording?

Also, if I defend and it’s not statute barred, will I end up with CCJ?

Yes keep the blue paragraph in.....

 

Give Newday a ring and find out your last payment date.

1 hour ago, Gilbert2014 said:

I’ve just found some paperwork.  The account defaulted in October 2016. Received letter in October 2017 confirming Cabot had bought the account held by Aqua.  

 

 

So not statute barred...unless you last payment was way before the default notice.....wait for a response to your CCA request and we can take it from there.

You can defend in full and even if you do lose ....still pay the judgment before its registered...

Thanks so much for your help, really appreciate it.  I’ll get those done and posted off.  

 

Hi, sorry, quick question - do I send the documents to Cabot or Mortimer Clarke Solicitors??

 

Hi, I’m just on the website to acknowledge but it’s asking for defence particulars?  

What do I put - you said I should not submit a defence yet but it’s a required field on the form?
