    • Paragraph 18 – you are still talking about Boston stolen items. About time this was fixed??? Paragraph 19  In any event, the claimant's PS5 gaming device was correctly declared and correctly valued. The defendant accepted it for carriage and was even prepared to earn extra money by selling sell insurance in case of its loss or damage. New paragraph 20 – this the defendant routinely sells insurance in respect of "no compensation" items (a secondary contract contrary to section 72 CRA 2015) new paragraph above paragraph 20 – the defendant purports to limit its liability in respect of lost or damaged items. This is contrary to section 57 of the consumer rights act 2015. The defendant offers to extend their liability if their customer purchases an insurance cover for an extra sum of money. This insurance is a secondary contract calculated to exclude or limit their liability for the defendants contractual breaches and is contrary to section 72 of the consumer rights act 2015. New paragraph below paragraph 42 – the defendant merely relies on "standard industry practice" You haven't pointed to the place in your bundle of the Telegraph newspaper extract. You have to jiggle the paragraphs around. Even though I have suggested new paragraph numbers, the order I have suggested is on your existing version 5. You will have to work it out for your next version. Good luck!   Let's see version 6 Separately, would you be kind enough to send me an unredacted to me at our admin email address.
    • i think theres been MORE than amble evidence of that and am astonished that criminal proceedings haven't begun.
    • Yep, those 'requirements' not met to shareholders satisfaction seem to me to be: 1. Not being allowed to increase customer bills by 40% (of which well over 50% of the new total would NOT be investment) 2. 1 plus regulators not agreeing to letting them do 'things in their own time (ie carry on regardless)
    • As already mentioned freely available "credit scores" are fairly useless. All lenders have their own "credit scoring" system, that for obvious reasons they don't divulge. And they're "scored" differently to the freely available ones. As soon as they could, we've always encouraged our two children to use credit cards responsibly... Pay off in full, etc, to generate good history. It's paid off. At quite young ages, they have both obtained loans for cars, mortgage and their credit card limits are through the roof. Personally, I have shifted debt around a lot on credit cards (even financed a house purchase once at 0% 😉) and I've only ever been refused a credit card once, sorry twice by the same company, over many years. They must have something very different in their lending criteria. You're a tight one, Mr Branson.

    • 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.

it's a bit of a long story but the basic facts of my case are:

 

i) I have outstanding unpaid parking tickets issued by my local council

ii) at least one of those tickets has gone to northampton county court who have issued a seizure warrant for the car.

iii) baliffs came to seize the vehicle but failed to identify themselves to me as such.

iv) a situation arose thereafter that has resulted in the police seizing my car under PACE (basically the car is now part of a criminal investigation)

v) the police have told me that they intend to release the car into the posession of the baliffs when they have finished with it as they view it as the property of n'hampton county court and their appointed agents (the baliffs)

 

I need some serious help here guys. What if anything can i do?

Northampton wont issue a warrant for seizure. They just issue an order for bailiffs to collect the money. You also need to know that the police rarely ever know what bailiffs can and cant do. Most of them usually fall victim to the bailiffs lies.

Any advice i give is my own and is based solely on personal experience. If in any doubt about a situation , please contact a certified legal representative or debt counsellor..

thanks renegadeimp

so what if the rozzers do give my car to the baliffs?

Then you need to go through the process to get it back, especially if it illegally/unlawfully taken. It really sounds as if the police officers are ignorant to bailiff law and are pretty much being taken for a ride by the bailiffs.

 

You could contact the Chief Superintendent as the regular officers rarely ever know anything about bailiffs.

Someone once told me that the entrance exam to Hendon has as the first question 'name'. If you answer 'doh' to that then you are excused from answering any further questions and it is classed as an automatic pass.

Where is the car being kept ?

 

What notice did the Police provide ?

 

What criminal investigation are the Police following ?

 

Do you have any issue with the PCN's issued by the local council ? They should have written to you, before this ended up with a liability order through Northampton.

 

The bailiffs that visited must have been certificated, otherwise their attempted seizure would be invalid and the Police could not release the car to them. Perhaps ask the Police to make sure that the bailiffs who visited were certificated.

We could do with some help from you.

yeah very funny thanks coniff but i'm in some serious doo doo here so i need some serious help

 

He is being serious. The police rarely ever know what bailiffs can and cant do. I would issue a full complaint to the Chief Superintendant. If they release the car to the bailiffs when the bailiff has no right to take it, then the police become culpable.

didn't sound that serious but ok not really important. What would the nature of the complaint to the C.S. be?

the car is being kept in a compound used by the police for storage

 

there was no notice - they first refused to release the car to me because they said (in front of my solicitor) it was the property of n'hampton c.c. When I pointed out to them that it was not their duty and probably illegal for them to act on behalf of a civil court or baliffs they then quickly changed tack and said it had in fact been seized under PACE.

 

don't really want to answer the next question on a public forum.

 

I have issue that the pcn was issued to me on a public highway and as a member of the public i have been fined for parking on my own property. There was correspondence from the council but i mistakenly chose to ignore it.

 

I have no idea if the baliffs were certificated.

Nmf ive said it before, but you NEED to get the CSI involved and also issue a full complaint to the bailiffs office.

if you have been given a notice of sezure from them the bailiff then the car belongs to the them

if you have not recived such a notice then the car belongs to you

 

http://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/1988/2050/contents/made

 

if you scroll down to APPENDIX 2 FORMS on this link the form 7 is a notice of seizure

 

look here to see if the bailiff is on the certificated bailiff register

"if you have been given a notice of sezure from them the bailiff then the car belongs to the them " I am sorry but that is utterly wrong. The car (the goods) is in the custody of the law when seized in execution. Custody is by no means ownership.

The car is still yours, but held in custody by the Police while they investigate an issue they must have.

 

The Police can only release the car to bailiffs following the bailiff providing proof they are certified by the courts and following a court order. Challenge the Police to make sure that they check the basis on which the bailiff is operating.

We could do with some help from you.

go to the police station TODAY ask for the duty inspector and don't leave until you speak with him. fir a car to be seized under PACE there has to be a lawful investigation or reasonable grounds that a criminal offence has been committed and the car is linked somehow to that offence.

 

There are other powers under SOCAP that are usually around documents, parking, obstruction issues.

 

it seems the police were helping the baillifs most probably for an easy solution to the problem they faced.

 

it was seized unlawfully in my opinion and the police will be charged storage for it- they will want rid asap.

 

without a court order the bailiffs have no right to the car, in any case it's a civil matter the police should only have been present to prevent s breach of the peace.

 

the duty inspector is duty bound to take your complaint, you will need all your docs to prove ownership and any

letters from the court etc.

 

the police don't want to get involved in civil issues they probably seized it to make their job easier however I think they had NO power to do so in this case. just my opinion having worked for both police and bailiffs previously.

 

the duty inspector TODAY is the key to get the car released to you.

I am fighting it all the way :-x

thanks phaitun

 

some good points there but i did exactly what you said on friday and that is when they told me they had seized the car under PACE so i don't have much grounds for complaint there. Like I say my main concern is that they seemed to think it will be lawful for them to give my property to someone else.

 

but initially they told me and my solicitor they were seizing under civil law so have they committed any proceedral error that will enable me to get my car back sooner ?

for a car to be seized as evidence under pace there has to be a criminal investigation. ask them what criminal offense is being investigated?, what grounds are there to seize the car? what evidence does the car provide in relation to that investigation? under what section of pace was the car seized? what officer seized it? this should be a formal complaint TODAY

I am fighting it all the way :-x

it's a bit like the requirements of stop and search you MUST be told the grounds, otherwise it's a plain abuse of process/power and they are relying on your ignorance of the law.

 

You will probably get fobbed off PACE is quite clear and there are lots of payouts out of courto every year by uk police forces for exactly these kinds of scenarios

I am fighting it all the way :-x

Nope. They still have to investigate and make sure what they are doing is legal. Thats why we told you to go over the heads of the regular officers.

I would like to provide a satisfactory response but it is difficult without knowing a bit more information.

 

Firstly, the warrant of execution is NOT issued by Northampton CC. Instead, the Traffic Enforcement Centre (part of Northampton CCBC ) give authority for the local authority to ISSUE the warrant.

 

Next, the warrant permits the bailiff to seize goods belonging to the debtor.

 

Do you know how many of the PCN are subject to warrants?

 

I am "assuming" that a bailiff visited you or located your vehicle by way of ANPR. Please confirm.

 

If the bailiff "seized" the vehicle then there is a legal obligation on that bailiff to provide a Form 7: Notice of Seizure of Goods & Inventory. Was this provided to you? If not....have the police or your solicitor requested a copy?

 

Have you seen a copy of he warrant of execution?

 

Please do NOT take this the wrong way and I apologise if I am wrong but I am "assuming" that a bailiff clamped the vehicle and somewhere along the line....the clamp was removed and the bailiff reported the car as "stolen". If I am wrong, I do apologise. If right, the police will need to be satisfied that the car was legally seized and that all of the documentation is in order.

 

Are you able to say which bailiff company is involved?

 

Is the car on finance and roughly how much is it worth?

Link to post
Share on other sites

ok i'll try to tell you as much as i can but obviously as i am under investigation i have to be careful because i'm unsure what i can and can't say in public

 

i)there is 1 pcn subject to a judgement by n'hmpton county court but there are 2 more in the pipeline.

 

ii) the baliffs tried to seize my vehicle as i was getting into it outside my home address. They failed to identify themselves to me and up to this moment have failed to do so.

 

iii) i have had no Form 7 given to me or has it even been mentioned to me, the police (to my knowledge) or my solicitor.

 

iv) i have not seen a copy of the warrant of execution

 

v) during their attempt to seize the vehicle an alleged assault took place and an alleged incident of dangerous driving for which i have been arrested and am currently on police bail for (i deny alleged charges against me)

 

vi) the car was not clamped

 

vii) the company is bristow and sutor

 

viii) the car is not on finance and is worth around £4000.

 

it's all a bit of a mess really :-(

As a matter of urgency your solicitor needs to ensure that he asks the police to confirm whether:

 

1) They have obtained evidence that the bailiff was certificated.

 

2) They have seen the Warrant of Execution. This is vitally important to ensure that the warrant is against the right person at the current address and that it has not expired

 

3) There is a LEGAL obligation for a bailiff to provide a Form 7 ( Notice of Seizure of Goods & Inventory).

 

4) You need to request a copy of the electronic Screen Shot of the account from the bailiff company.
