    • Hi on the notice of disqualification it lists the 2 speed offences and marks offence withdrawn? This is for both offences and then the other 2 is the MS90s which I’m fined for and the additional costs. R
    • Hi,    It has taken a while, but I have received an email from Auxillis -  hello, we are not dealing with this claim all we do is log accident for you isnurance - the claim has been passed to your underwriter markerstudy 0344 873 8183 as they are deal with fault cliams ion behalf of adrian flux. thankyou auxillis   I have made repeated attempts to phone Markerstudy in between working from home, struggling for energy and trying to find a cheap car so that I can keep my job (community support worker). Thankfully I have a supportive team and I am being given phone calls to make but it cant last too long. I had a severe migraine over the weekend and also have quite bad whiplash in my neck and back.    I found this in my insurance policy booklet -    Protection and Recovery If the insured vehicle cannot be driven following an incident leading to a valid claim under this section, we will pay: • the cost of its protection and removal to the nearest approved repairer, competent repairer or nearest place of safety; and • the cost of re-delivery after repairs to your home address; and • the cost of storage of the insured vehicle incurred with our written consent. If the insured vehicle is damaged beyond economical repair we will arrange for it to be stored safely at premises of our choosing. You should remove your personal belongings from the insured vehicle before it is collected from you. In the event of a claim being made under the policy we have the right to remove the insured vehicle to an alternative repairer, place of safety or make our own arrangments for re-delivery at any time in order to keep the cost of the claim to a minimum     I do about 20-25000 miles a year with the work I do, I have been getting quotes and putting that I have now have one accident and no no claims bonus and the cheap quotes from similar companies to markerstudy are more than double what i paid last year at 8-900 and aviva is offering 2600 which is simply out of my price range and more than the car i am looking at.  I am starting to wonder if it is even worth going ahead with the claim as i have no one to claim from. I have had no information from any of the enquiries I have made.  I have a full tank of vpower diesel in the car in the impound, i can strip it for parts and probably make what I will be offered by the insurance payout and get the money quicker.  As I have made contact and started the process can I back out, still keep my NCB and a claim free history? Also what happens with my injuries? I don't think there is any permanent damage but my dr refused to see me and just gave me a boat load of naproxen and codeine. What happens in the future if things don't get better and I cancelled this claim? Can you claim injuries off your own insurance because the other guy ran and you cant find him? I have tried to ask these questions off markerstudy but they keep me waiting for nearly an hour then end the call.     
    • Thanks for the response. Am I able to send you the documents I’ve received or can you message via instant message and I’ll send these? Reece
    • Regretfully it does. Have you actually seen any papers which show what you were charged with (rather than what you were convicted of)? It is unusual not to be “dual charged” but if you were not charged with both, you are where you are. If you had been charged with both offences and providing you were the driver at the time, you could, after performing your SD, have asked the prosecutor to drop the “Fail to Provide” (FtP) charges in exchange for a guilty plea to the speeding charges (you cannot be convicted of speeding unless you plead guilty as they have no evidence you were driving). You will have difficulty defending the FtP charges. In fact, it’s worse than that – you have no chance of successfully defending them at all because the reason you did not respond to the requests is because you did not receive them and that’s entirely your fault. No it’s not correct. Six months from 18/11/23 was 18/5/24 so, unless they were originally charged, the speeding offences are now “timed out.” There is one avenue left open to you. If you perform your SD you must serve it on the court which convicted you. You will then receive a date for a hearing to have the matters heard again. Your only chance of having the matters revert to speeding (and this is only providing you were the driver at the time of those offences) is to plead Not Guilty, attend court. When you get there you can ask the prosecutor (very nicely, explaining what a pillock you know you were for failing to update your  V5C) if (s)he is prepared to raise “out of time” speeding charges, to which you will offer to plead guilty if the FtP charges are dropped.   This is strictly speaking not lawful. Charges have to be raised within six months. Some prosecutors are willing to do it, others are not. But frankly it’s the only avenue open to you. There is a risk with this. I imagine you have been fined £660 (plus surcharge and costs) for each offence. The offence attracts a fine of 1.5 week’s net income and where the court has no information about the defendant’s means a default figure of £440pw is used.  If the prosecutor is not prepared to play ball you can revise your pleas to guilty. A sympathetic court should give you the full discount (one third) for your guilty pleas in these circumstances but they may reduce the discount somewhat. The prosecution may also ask for increased costs (£90 or thereabouts is the figure for a guilty plea). So it may cost you more if you have a decent income (I’ll let you do the sums). But MS90 is an endorsement code which gives insurers a fit of the vapours. One such endorsement will see your premiums double. Two of them will see many insurers refuse to quote you at all meaning you will have to approach "specialist" (aka extortionate) brokers. So you really want to exhaust every possibility of avoiding MS90s if you can. One warning: do not pay solicitors silly money to defend you. Making an SD before a solicitor should attract just a nominal sum (perhaps a tenner). That’s all you should pay for. You have no viable defence against the FtP charges and any solicitor suggesting you have is telling you porkies. The offer to do the deal is easily done by yourself and you can save the solicitor’s fees to put towards a few taxis and increased insurance premiums if you are unsuccessful. In the happy event you find out you were "dual charged", let me know and I'll tell you how to proceed. (Seems a bit odd hoping you were charged with four driving offences rather than two, but it's a funny old world!).

    • 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.

Last winter my husband lost his job, payment protection was invalid and we accrued arrears in everything. We reclaimed charges and gave the mortgage company a lump sum. We got a suspended possession order in may (he was back in work by then) and always paid on time since.

Except in december he was paid a different day and there was a tax error. We only had £700 in the day the standing order went out. The bank system decided to pay council tax before mortgage, so mortgage didn't go.

We just found out last week..to top it off the fixed rate ends this month and they want £300 extra a month. We could rent my house for much less than the mortgage repayments!

So we are selling up. They say if we get the missed december (actually it was the january payment but it goes out then) payment to them (hoping work can lend it to us) and prove it's on the market they will hold out they will wait for us to sell before enforcing the warrant.

How can we believe them? Last time when my husband lost his job they said they wouldn't take it to court as long as we kept them informed. They started proceedings the week he got a new job and we started paying again!

I've just heard about the N244. Now would doing this annoy them? Do you have to have sold before filling this out or just prove it's on the market?

We really are trying.

 

just to add I can't see CAB until Tuesday (been this week already) as they only have outreach here. You can't get through on the phone ever!

Hi there, this situation must be very distressing for you. However, you will get all the help and support you need on this forum. There is no need to submit a N244 form until such time as the mortgage company enforce the warrant. If that happens you can then submit the N244 applying for a further suspension of the warrant to allow you time to sell and continue with payments we can help you to fill this in correctly.

 

If you are able to prove to the judge that you can keep paying while the house is up for sale (and prove it is on the market), then you won't have any problem getting another suspended order. Judges don't like taking houses from people who are genuinely trying to get out of the situation they are in.

 

I would make the missed payment if at all possible and send them confirmation that the house is on the market. When you make the payment you should call them and ask for the name (and correct address) of the person to whom you should send the confirmation of house being on the market. Send it to them with a covering letter confirming their conversation regarding not enforcing the warrant and that you have made the payment as agreed. Send by recorded delivery so you can prove they have received it (you may need to prove this later).

 

I know it's easy to say, but try not to worry too much - you are doing your best to get out of this situation and we will give you as much support as possible.

 

Out of interest, who is the mortgage company?

 

Kind Regards

Thank you! We have 3 young children too so I do hope they realise we are genuinely trying to do something and don't take our home. We can pay all further payments and we have proof with out bank statements and pay slips that this was a genuine mistake...I think I'm going to change my council tax standing order to the next day now too.

The company is Platform.

It's so frustrating that losing your job for just a few months can cause us to lose our home of 10 years. We hope to move somewhere with more employment opportunities so I can get a part time job around the children too.

Hi there, I am confident, given what you have told us, that if they do take action you will get a further suspended possession order, but we'll deal with that if it happens.

 

Please keep us updated when you have made payment and if there are any further developments.

 

Good Luck, I am sure it will all work out.

 

Kind Regards

Thank you Ell-enn for your help. I'll let you know how we get on. We had it valued today, another estate agent is coming tomorrow, and then we'll decide which to go with and hopefully be on the market very soon.

payment protection was invalid

Did you claim back the PPI premiums ?

 

to top it off the fixed rate ends this month and they want £300 extra a month.

Mortgage lending is at a ten year low. Have you asked them for a new deal ?

 

We could rent my house for much less than the mortgage repayments! So we are selling up.

I hope only as a last resort.

 

How can we believe them? Last time when my husband lost his job they said they wouldn't take it to court as long as we kept them informed.

Ask for everything in writing.

Yuk. Have you searched the market exhaustively ?

Good luck.

Platform have been very good with us - in fact they let us increase our mortgage with them to take out GE Money who did try and repossess our house over a secured loan when things were tough. At that time Platform did listen to us and let us pay the arrears over a year without any further hassle. I would hope that if you tell them your situation they should at least listen, unlike many other lenders. Also, if they tried to enforce the repossession and you have told them what you are doing the court will not be too keen to enforce the repossession.

 

I do hope you can get out of this situation without having to sell your house.

Well we paid our missed payment back (only a month late) and got an offer on the house, filled out an income and expenditure form with evidence for them etc They seemed happy yesterday with what was going on.

Now we are most confused. Got a letter today say our mortgage has been transferred to JPMorganChase. Now I spoke to the guy at platform about 4 times yesterday. He never mentioned it. Any idea what might be going on?

I'm worried these guys are there to repossess or something.

Really bugs me when important letters are posted on fridays, Knowing full well they aren't open over the weekend to explain.

Hi there, what exactly does the letter say. JPMorgan Chase are a financial institution (banking) it could be that Platform have been taken over by them.

It says our mortgage has been transferred to JPMorganChase, that the terms and conditions are still the same. In fact the address is still the same. We do know Western Mortgage Services are who we are really contacting when dealing with our mortgage and it appears it's still them.

A google does bring up business news about JPMorgan buying into the subprime market. Something about "non conforming mortgage securitisation" I can't see the whole story, it's in Euroweek and that's a subscription site.

Just worried and surprised we were never told on friday despite contact during that day.

Turns out there is nothing to worry about. Nothing changes. Estate agent thinks well complete in 5/6 weeks. Now what I don't anything about is timing. When do we get the money from the sale? before we have to move out or after? Not sure how to put deposit down without the cash from the sale.

Hi trudd, all the money moves around on completion day. I wonder if your solicitor will contact the new landlord on your behalf and confirm that the deposit will be paid from the sale proceeds. Worth asking.

Thank you! I think that is what we will be doing...just got to find somewhere now. Toruble is that most landlords give little notice before advertising. Most properties I can find are for now, not a month or so time. Plus I can't put down money and reserve one until exchange. It's a bit unsettling! Be alright if it were just us but with 3 children in tow it's a bit of a worry.

Very luckily our 6% early repayment charge runs out mid march, we complete end of.

Until now we never really noticed how much we were paying on our mortgage in interest. We owe them more than we borrowed despite 2 years of payments.

You are well out of it then trudd. I wonder if you could find a b&b to stay in (not the down and out type) and store your stuff for a couple of weeks to give you a chance to find the right home rather than taking whatever you can get. Unless friends or family could put you up, or you could borrow someone's caravan. We would have exactly the same problem if we decided to sell up.

  • 3 weeks later...

They don't have b&b's where I live! Plus the fact we'd need storage for all our stuff. Not enough room at family's for a family or 5 really.

 

We are just now in limbo waiting for exchange, then we can choose a house to rent. I don't think it'll be long, our solicitor has sent the buyer's one the contract now.

Just an idea, since how you say you could rent your house for less than the mortgage - well have you thoughts about contacting a local investor, see if they are interested in buying your house and renting it to you until you get sorted with somewhere else? most property investors are very happy to do this. The best way to find one is to contact your local LETTINGS agent they will have good contacts. Just a thought....

Apart from hearing dodgy things about these kind of companies we have desperately needed to move for years now. The shared ownership people class as overcrowded, we have 3 children in a 2 up 2 down and it has been unbearable. Plus once the equity we are going to rent with runs out I need to work (which is when my youngest starts school) and there is no work where I live.
