    • jk2054 - I haven't started a claim with OIC or MIB yet, due to being unable to obtain the name of the other driver.  BankFodder cheers for that, I'll go back to them with this info & update on here when I've had a response
    • Andy thanks for your reply. No i am now being evicted from the house i moved into after that previous post. The letting agent lied to me when they said the landlord would not be selling the house. SHe did not mention that the landlord tried to sell the house last year, i was not told this, 4 months into the tenancy i got the eviction notice. Its obvious they lied to me and used me to fill in the gap between their attempts to sell the house. I have filled in the defence form as it was easy to follow the old one from my previous post. I will post it later on in the hope someone can give it the once over. It has to be in by the end of this month may 31st.  
    • It's a GR Yaris - Finance is with Alphera, who are part of BMW I believe. I'm sure the unit is very expensive to repair, I have even told them I would be happy with a refurbished/reconditioned unit, in trying to be reasonable as well.
    • Without seeing this envelope, document and sticker it is impossible to advise properly. However, just going on what you have told us, there are two ways you can deal with this: !. The easy way. This has the lowest risk but the guarantee of a penalty for speeding.  You can respond to the SJPN by pleading “Not Guilty” to both charges. In the “Reasons for pleading Not Guilty” box you can explain that you responded to the request for driver’s details but it was recently returned to you, seemingly not actioned. However, you are willing to plead guilty to the speeding charge providing, and only providing, the “Fail to Provide Driver's Details" (FtP) charge is dropped. You could also ask the court to consider sentencing you at the fixed penalty level (£100 and 3 points) as this prosecution seems to be the result of an administrative problem outside your control. 2. The not so easy way with higher risk. This could see you convicted of the FtP charge but has the possibility that you escape with no penalty whatsoever. You can do the same – plead not guilty to both charges. If you go down this route the speeding charge cannot succeed as they have no evidence you were driving. This comes from your response to the request for driver’s details which the police say they have not got. You can mention in the “Reasons” box that you returned the request for driver’s details as required. You will then face a trial for the FtP charge and you can produced your response together with the envelope and sticker showing it had been returned to you. The risk with this is that if your defence fails you will be fined a week and a half’s net income, pay a “Victim Surcharge” of 40% of the fine, pay prosecution costs of around £650 and have six points together with an endorsement code (MS90) which will see your insurance premiums rocket.

    • 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.

Letter from RED this morning, they must have posted this the day after the one I recieved on friday.

 

This must be my last, last, last, last, last chance, untill the next one.

 

They state they can see no reason for me to not pay, what about the fact that they are in default, I think thats a pretty good reason.

 

It was funny for a while but now its just boring. They continue to flout the rules they are supposed to adhere to, and yet nothing is ever done to stop them.

Heres the latest, I have scanned every single letter Lowell have ever sent to me, including the dodgy postcard, plus copies of the £1 postal order receipt (for CCA request) and copies of all the receipts for the special deliverys and recorded deliverys, also copies of the letters I have sent to them. I have even sent copies of the print outs of the proof of delivery signatures from the royal mail website.

 

A bit more ammo for Leeds TS.

 

I even keep the envelopes as sometimes they have a date stamp on the back, most of the time this is 3 or 4 days after the date on the letter, so in the case when I had 3 days to pay they made it impossible for me to do so. They also did this when they put the repayment amount up, so I had no time to do anything about it.

 

I have the proof of all of this, you thugs.

Received a letter from RED yesterday, this had an old HSBC C/C statement attached to it. This was had my name on it but the address was the local branch of HSBC.

 

The date on this statement was well over a year after I made the last payment (which was over 3 years ago).

 

They said in the letter that I had requested this, as we know I requested a copy of the original CCA.

 

Another letter arrived from RED today, same old blah, you have 7 days, CCJ etc, These have been copied and dropped off at the local TS office who will copy it again and forward it to Leeds TS.

 

So its been 3 1/2 months now since the original CCA request, wonder how long they will carry this on.

They eventually gave up and admitted defeat against me. They threatened me with everything as well but when unable to produce the CCA they gave up. Bear with them as they are a bit slow and employ quite a few empty heads who cannot grasp the intracacies of the CCA 1974. Some day the one with the braincell will pick up on your file and realise they have diddly squat and are just wasting postage and decimating a few more rainforests with their junk mail.

Quick update, its almost 5 months since I requested a copy of my signed CCA with HSBC and I am still getting the threat-o-grames from Lowell.

 

To answer my own question from a few posts back, yes they are still sending out the postcards, I received one last week.

Yesterday was 6 months to the day since I sent off my request for a copy of my CCA. To mark the anniversary Lowell have sent me a lovely letter informing me that my account is to be fast tracked to the bankruptcy division.

 

They go on about all the serious long term implications that come with being declared bankrupt, I trust this is just more idle threats?

 

I have reported them to TS OFT and this has not stopped them.

 

If I want to make a complaint to Lowell directly, is there a template I can use to request a copy of their complaints procedure, or do I just write in and complain, this seems pointless as they have ignored all my other letters, is there no way to get through to them?

 

Have they gone on at anyone else for as long as this, as 6 months does seem to be dragging it out.

UPDATE

 

7 months have now gone by since I sent off my CCA request (they have acknowledged receipt of it), and I have just received another threat-o-gram, no surprise there.

 

Its a bit late now, but later today I am going to scan this latest one and post it on here for all to see, its unlike all the others I have received from them.

 

Should be good for a laugh. :lol::lol::lol::lol:

 

I will be sure to leave out any personal details, barcodes etc

The Leeds losers seem to operate in cycles with their threatomatics. Without even seeing what you have got I bet I already have a copy of it in my bulging Lowells files. Anyway they are in breach of the CPUT Regs now.

Well, I forgot to post the letter I was supposed to before I went on holiday, but thats not really important now as when I arrived back today there was a statutory demand waiting for me.

 

Its dated 01/08/2008, I left for my holiday on the 04/08/2008 and arrived back today, family said that letter did not arrive for at least 3 days after I had left. Anyway it says I have 18 days to have it set aside, is that 18 days from 01/08/2008, if so, is tomorrow the last day?

 

This is the last thing I needed on my first day back.

 

Getting the scanner plugged in now and will post copies of letter and stat demand in about 15 mins.

You have 18 days from the SD came into your possesion i.e. TODAY

 

They did not send it redcorded delivery so have no idea when you received it. Its your word against theirs. Just as a matter of interest was it sent 1st or 2nd class post.

There was a code which I have blanked out, also had to cover over a phone number a family member had written on the envelope. No date though.
