    • I doubt HMCTS holds any data on whether arrests by AEAs required police assistance.  They couldn't or wouldn't provide data on how many of warrants issued were successfully executed - just the number issued!  In my experience, arrest warrants whether with or without bail are [surprisingly] carried out with little or no fuss.  I think it's about how you treat people - a little respect and courtesy goes a long way. If you treat people badly they will react the same way. Occasions when police are called to assist are not common and, having undertaken or managed many thousands of these over the years, I can only recall a handful of occasions when police assistance was necessary. On one occasion, many years ago, I arrested and transported a man from Hampshire to Bristol prison on a committal warrant. It was just me and he was no problem. I didn't know the Bristol area (pre Sat Nav) and he was kind enough to provide directions - seems he knew the prison.  One young chap on another committal warrant jumped out of his back window and I had to chase him across several garden fences.  When he gave up (we were both knackered) I agreed to drive by his girlfriend's house to say farewell for a while.  I gave them a few moments and he was fine. The most difficult are breach warrants but mainly in locating the defendant as they don't want to go back to prison - can't blame them.  These were always dealt with by the police until the Access to Justice Act transferred responsibility from them to the magistrates' courts. The fact was the police did not actively pursue them and generally only executed them when they arrested someone for something else and found they had a breach warrant outstanding.  Hence the transfer of responsibility.
    • thats down to mcol making that option available for you to select, you cant force it. typically if there are known processing delays at northants bulk it will be atleast 14 days later if not more.
    • Thanks   Noting the day to apply for default judgement if necessary
    • nope, as the display model was not the colour the customer wanted. but your question is totally immaterial anyway as custom built doesn't come into it. dx
    • as long as aos is done by day 19 from the date on the claimform they get a total of 33 days to file a defence. (whereby the date top right on the claimform is ONE in the 33 day count) dx

    • 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.

Next time they call, refuse to do security.

 

When he/she asks why say "Data Protection", the 'phone will go down.

The next time they call, they'll ask for, "LB; and your full address". Reply with something like, "who's calling please, and I need your full name and address........." You get the picture... It's funny!!

 

As you've read my thread though, you'll know I love talking to them and how easy it is to get them wound up tight enough to snap! :D

I just want to get on their nerves as much as all DCA's get on mine , I have already peed them off 3 days in a row and have yet to lose me rag once .

 

These DCA's have an attitude on the phone towards you of...."your making things harder for yourself"...........errrrr in what way exactly? :rolleyes:

They have no powers whatsoever other than to ask you to pay & go to a county court if need be.

Seems reasonable to me, after all you need to do a security check on who you are speaking to. Just who TF do they think they are. They are a bunch of losers with NO LEGAL powers whatsoever yet they get on the phone and behave as if they have every right to quiz and bully you on the phone and make you answer all sorts of personal question. They think they have even more power than the police.

I love winding up DCA's on the phone. It's become a hobby these days.

 

Had the muppets from Halifax ringinging me 3 times every weekend for months now. Dispite 3 letters with the following written in bold type.

"I will communicate with you in writing only. I will never speak to you on the phone, as I have no legal obligation to do so."

 

The last conversation went a little like this.....

 

Halifax muppet: Hello is that Mr F Bobble?

 

Me: Yes it is. Who's calling please?

 

Halifax Muppet: Jason From Halifax. I need to discuss a matter

regarding your account as it's in serious arrears.

I need to ask some securtity questions before I can continue.

What is your date of Birth and the First line of your address?

 

Me: 1/2/1991 69 cunnilingus lane. (of course I live there) :razz:

 

Halifax Muppet: Those don't match the details I have here sir.

 

Me: So why ask me if you already know them?

 

Halifax Muppet: It's for security reasons sir

 

Me: (pretending to cry) But I don't know my date of birth as I'm an orphan and was left on a doorstep when I was a baby.

 

Halifax Muppet: You're not taking this seriously sir. £2000 of debt is a serious matter and you will go to prison if you don't pay.

 

Me: (trying to sound concerned) oooooh. :eek:

 

Halifax Muppet:So, Mr Bobble, how to you intend to pay this debt?

 

Me: What debt?

 

Halifax Muppet:The £2000 you owe on your credit card you have £200 arrears and no payment has been made for 3 months.

 

Me: I asked you for proof you are legally intitled to collect this alleged debt. I'm still waiting. I don't pay anything to just anyone who writes demanding money without proof that I actually owe them anything first.

 

Halifax Muppet: This conversation is being recorded and I think you are deliberately being akward and trying to avoid paying what you owe Mr Bobble.

 

Me: I'm being recorded?

 

Halifax Muppet:Yes, now how do you intend to pay? We require a minimum payment of £200 immediatly.

 

Me: Wow. I'm being recorded. Sings a few lines of Bros - I owe you nothing. (bad I know but was all I could think of at the time.)

 

Halifax Muppet: You're not taking this seriously sir.

 

Me: I am. What was the question again?

 

Halifax Muppet: How do you intend to pay?

 

Me: Pay what?

 

Halifax Muppet: (getting a bit peed off by now) The arrears on your credit card.

 

Me: What credit card?

 

Halifax Muppet: The card you are 200 in arrears with.

 

Me: Erm

 

Halifax Muppet: Erm what?

 

Me: I don't know.

 

Halifax Muppet: Do you want us to take you to court?

 

Me: Courts? Didn't they go bust a few years ago? Weren't they the ones who had Bruce Forsyth in their adverts?

I'd like to go, but I had a new sofa a few weeks ago, so you're too late.

 

Halifax Muppet:You're not taking this seriously, I'm putting a note on your account that you are deliberatly avoiding to pay your debts.

 

Me: Debts? I'm in debt? That's scary, I wasn't aware I was in debt.

 

Halifax Muppet: (getting really wound up) Are you going to pay now Mr Bobble? I can accept payment by credit card now.

 

Halifax Muppet: Can I use the halifax card you claim I have and owe £2000 on?

 

Halifax Muppet: No, your card is suspended as you haven't kept up with the payments on it. AS YOU VERY WELL KNOW.

 

Me: know what? Who are you anyway?

 

Halifax Muppet: (rants away about debt and court action for a bit)

 

Me: I'm sorry I suffer from Attention Defecit Disorder and find it hard to concentrate.

 

Halifax Muppet: That's not my problem...Are you going to pay or not?

 

Me: .....Ohh look a bumble bee.....

 

Halifax Muppet: Mr Bobble?

 

Me: He's not here.

 

Muppet hangs up. Probably to bang his head against the wall. Then hand in his notice and get a proper job at Maccy D's.

 

Needless to say the more experienced members of the CAG will spot a few breaches of the OFT guidelines. Such as carrying on without the security checks, prison if I don't pay, trying to collect a debt that is in dispute and failing to comply with a cca request, etc.

Complaint letters have already been sent + a SAR request so I can get a copy of the call and put it on here. :D
