    • Thank goodness it's not your roof and you get to foot the bill! How big are these bits of mortar? How often are they falling into your garden? Hourly, daily? Just go ahead with your plans, of course, they're not going to be worried by your time pressures and the urgency of the situation, so simply carry on as you would have done and I'm sure everything will go fine. Unless there is a danger to life and serious structural issues which mean you cannot venture into your garden, then IMHO there is little more you can do less for what you have done so already and made them aware of the issue.
    • Hi all!   Thank you in advance for any help you can give me!!    I parked up (at 18:08) in a rush, entered my Reg and paid for an hour of parking. At 18:20 I got a ticket for not paying for parking.    I've just looked at my receipt and noticed why ... I put "22" instead of "21"  when i put in my Reg. yes... what a stupid mistake.    I seem to remember there being a court case or a rule change about entering the wrong reg but the company wasn't at a loss because i had paid for the parking just technically for the wrong car. Am i making that up?    Any advice would be gratefully received, even some key points i have to hit when doing the appeal      
    • You haven't returned to the thread to give us your views, but a couple of other things strike me which you should consider: 1. You say that at no time was your father's licence revoked by the DVLA. It didn't have to be revoked. It expired in September and his "entitlement to drive" (of which the licence provides proof) expired along with it. He could only continue driving whilst his application was being processed by virtue of s88, and it seems clear to me (based on what you have said) that he was not able to take advantage of the benefits provided by that section. 2. The letter he received threatening to revoke his licence was probably a template letter sent when any medical issues are brought to the attention of the DVLA. But it is clear that beyond September until it was eventually renewed, your father had no valid licence to be revoked. I believe a "not guilty" plea in court will fail. The basic facts are that your father's licence expired in September, it was not renewed until February because the DVLA were looking into his medical declaration and he could not take advantage of s88. So in December he had no licence and no entitlement to drive under s88. The facts that he believed he was fit to drive and that his licence was eventually renewed may mitigate the offence but they do not provide a defence. I also asked whether he had received a summons (very unusual these days) or whether he had received a "Single Justice Procedure Notice". The way to proceed from here differs slightly depending on what he has received so if you let me know, I'll advise further.  
    • Well, what I've read from various sources suggest if a CCJ is 6 years old that if becomes pretty much ineffective for enforcement purposes in its original form.  And that if it's about to expire then the claimant needs to apply to the court to extend the original CCJ within the final year.  Even if they do apply for an extension within the 6 years they have to have a very strong argument for doing so such as the person being out of the country or could not be traced, basically show they were actively still perusing the debt I guess. Now if a claimant ever does apply within the 6 years to extend the CCJ, would the person named on if be notified by the court that such an application has been made?.  In my case I've heard nothing from the court so assume no such application has been made.  The original CCJ in my own case is now a year beyond the 6 years of issue so must now make things even less likely again. So whilst the CCJ exists that they have not enforced it in that time must surely make it unlikely they can now take it back to court because as said it would be very rare for a judge to agree to such action now. That said, I guess they now can't use the CCJ to continue with any action for an attachment order to our mortgage either?

    • 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.

Here is this mornings email to MBNA: Copied in Stuart Johnson and Gavin Thebald, let's see if it gts read or not !

 

Dear Mr Rhodes,

I refer to a recorded delivery letter which your staff have stated was sent to me on 24th May 2006 and that your staff confirmed I had not signed for.

I made the effort of collecting the letter that had attempted delivery yesterday and the letter in question was not from MBNA.

Please can you email me the recorded delivery reference number so I can track it online and I would once again request an electronic copy of the letter which I have already done on numerous occasions. Once again, I see no good reason why this letter cannot be emailed. I have been polite and courteous in my request and will continue to be so, there is no reason why MBNA should conduct themselves in any other manner.

I will contact you again at midday today if the letter has not been emailed to me.

Kind regards,

surreyscouse

AH ! Talk about changing their story, they told me yesterday it was sent recorded delivery but then this email has just turned up !

 

surreyscouse,

The letter in question was not sent by recorded delivery, but rather by first class Royal Mail post. You should therefore receive the letter today or tomorrow.

Kind Regards

Gavin Theobald

Well, if they did (and surely they are not that stupid) then I have the perfect argument. I kept the charges and the breaches of the DPA completely seperate. In their response to me they dealt with the charges and concluded that section of their letter. They then turned to the DPA section so although they wrote one letter for the lot they did deal with each item seperately as far as I am concerned.

 

I think they are really under the impression they have done no wrong although I can see clearly that they have breached 3 of the 8 data protection principles. It's gonna take me ages to write out my court summons !!!!! I'll enjoy doing it though

Their letter goes on about charges being fair etc. but then says in order to bring to swift conclusion I have credited your account with £510. I think that's good enough

Hello Martin, welcome to the thread, glad you are being entertained !!!!!

 

Just a further thought though. Gavin Theobald replied to my email but there was not a read receipt from him, although there was from Stuart Johnson. Anyway, 45 minutes until my nxt email requesting a copy of the letter, I pretty much gurantee that will be ignored as well. The Mrs gets home about 2.30 anyway so she'll let me know if anything turns up today ! I reckon it will arrive tomorrow so I have to dwell on it for the whole weekend, they are rather devious like that !

Chaser as promised by email:

 

Dear Mr Rhodes,

There appears to be conflicting information regarding this letter. I was informed yesterday that the letter was sent recorded delivery, yet this morning I have received an email from Gavin informing me it was sent 1st class unrecorded. That aside, midday has been and gone and I have not received an electronic copy of your letter. I have assumed this is an oversight on your behalf and look forward to receiving the electronic copy by return of email.

In consideration of lunch hours, I will contact you again at 2.30pm today if I have not received the letter.

Kind regards,

surreyscouse

Then received a read receipt from Gavin Thobald from my initial email this morning which he replied to followed by another from the one sent at midday.

Thanks guys ! MBNA know I am a nutter and that really do hate them, they are already expecting the following email which has just been sent:

 

Dear Stuart,

Many thanks for your letter dated 19th May 2006 which was received by recorded delivery this morning. I have not personally seen your letter nor it's enclosures yet, but I have had the contents of your letter read to me over the telephone. I have not yet been informed as to exactly what the enclosures are with your letter.

 

I accept that you have credited our account with the sum of £510. Unfortunately, in the time elapsed since my claim commenced, you have applied a further £50 in "fees" on my most recent statement which was received yesterday. Please can you confirm to me whether you are willing to credit those "fees" to the account without delay. If not I will have to commence a further claim for this amount.

 

Additionally, I believe that the interest that is applied to our account is unsustainable and far exceeds the current base rate set by The Bank Of England. Additionally, relations both ways between MBNA and myself have been strained for quite some time and that we should try to resolve matters amicably sooner rather than later. My proposals are:

 

1. Interest is frozen on the account with immediate effect

2. We agree between ourselves a manageable set amount each month that we pay

3. Our credit record do not show any "arrangement to pay". You just merely report payments as being on time

4. I would ask that you consider a "short payment". I understand other customers of yours have been offered and taken advantage of this

 

Please can let me know your considerations of the above proposals. A set amount each month will be much more convenient as you no longer allow me to have access to my account online. A direct debit mandate/standing order form would be required for me to complete.

 

I would direct you towards point 4 of my proposal. As you are aware, the information requested under my data protection act request was very much incomplete after the 40 days period allowed by the Information Commissioner. I have incurred extra costs since the 40 day period expired and I am entitled to claim these back along with a claim for distress via our legal system. In the interest of economics, may I suggest you offer a significant reduction in the account balance in order to reflect these potential damages and the large saving you would make in not paying legal fees should I choose to instigate a claim against yourselves. An informal agreement on this amount will prevent any further action being taken on my part.

 

Once again, many thanks for your letter and as always, please feel free to contact me with any queries you may have. You have my mobile number.

Kind regards

surreyscouse

 

 

So there you go. Nowhere near finished. Good to hear from so many of my cyber friends already with well wishes. I have been helping people out on here for weeks and giving names,numbers and advice without even knowing how my own claim was going ! I knew deep down they would just cave in with their first response as they know how difficult and awkward i can be when I want to !

 

I will let you see his reply !

 

I Love this site !

 

 

Anyway, the Mrs has just read the response over the phone to me.

 

Here's the upshot, they have refunded the other £50, no surprise there then.

 

My 4 points for resolution

 

1. Interest will not be frozen under any cirumstances. Move your balance to another card

2. Yeah, we will agree a reduced payment plan and record it on your credit file. Fees and interest will be frozen (er, answer to point 1 meant what ?) Fill out the attached forms and send them back to prove what you earn and spend.

3. We will record all info on your credit file to try and screw you up as much as possible

4. Yes, we will consider a short payment.(Took me bit by surprise) Please contact us with your offer.

 

Ok, so that is basically it. No mention whatsoever of their DPA breaches.

 

I need to have a proper read of their letter over the weekend. I will then send a fax to them giving 7 days to settle for damages and distress for their breach. Damages are mobile phone costs, ink, envelopes, fax charges, stamps, paper, plasters (for my paper cut when sealing envelope) . Distress, well clearing the balance should cover that one !

 

Any ideas on how we can have a bit of fun with this lot. Balacne about £4k at the moment, £25 settlement a good starting point, they are already very familiar with that figure after all ! !!!!!!!:grin:

he did say that this would be recorded. I think I might be better going down the "I'm suing you for DPA breach route" and see what sort of response that gets. Surely I'm right in thinking it would cost them more than £4k to deal with the court summons and defend in court ?

Share on other sites

You might want to suggest to them that you pay X amount and they make up the rest in an ex-gratia payment in respect of the agravation caused and in the understanding that you won't be pursuing the DPA claim(which co-incidentally clears the account)

Clearly this then wouldn't be a 'short-payment' and they then wouldn't be able to register anything other than balance cleared & account closed.
