    • 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

Got 2 accounts that I believe are both SB.

Is it a simple case of emailing them and asking when the last payment was made on the account or to SAR them and work when it was.

 

Obviously me asking for last payment gives them the premises im going down the SB defence if they ever gor court.

So SAR or just letter for larst time payment received on account.

Thanks

DCA's view debtors as suckers, marks and mugs

and they

are NOT and can NEVER  be BAILIFFS. even if a debt has been to court..

Moning

Just 2 CC debts from ages ago. None of them appear on my credit file, that being experian or equifax.

I did SAR one of them and the last date I can find when payment was due was in 2022.

The other I have no further details.

Hi

 

Sorry last payment made on the account was 2016 on one account. With the paperwork I have been sent.

Both do not show on credit file.

Both owned by Lowell.

Barclaycard for both I believe.

Have not moved since taken out.

No CCJs on account.

  • dx100uk changed the title to Lowell and 2 x Barclaycard Accounts - possible SBd.

Last payment on one account from statements that they sent me originally was 14th Dec 2015. That is a Visa card, and that was direct to the card provider.

The other I have no idea when the last payment was, and when it was would have been paid to the original lender.

Notice of assignments I have no record of, as very long ago.

 

I have never paid any of the DCAs that have been after it.

Hi

Just wanted to check the best way to check if a debt if SB. I have checked my experian/equifax report and cannot see anything corresponding to the 2 debts in question, plus the free credit checks apps. I get various letters and also text messages asking me to contact them. What should I do?

 

Possibly SAR them to check when last payment on acocunt?

as i said, statute barring is nothing to do with credit files nor is decided by credit file providers, they simply hold DATA.

once the original creditor issues a default notice and registers the defaulted date on credit files in the debts status front page , a 6yrs clock (nothing to do with statute barring) starts to tick. regardless to if the debt is paid or not or paying or not the default remains for 6yrs,

once the registered default date reaches its 6th b'day, the whole account is removed, never to show again. but that doesn't mean the debt might not be owed. that is controlled by the statute barred date, which can be default notice date + 14days or the date of your last use of the credit or youe last payment date, whichever is the latter.

i will gather this is the 2 BC debts sold to lowells?
