    • Hi on the notice of disqualification it lists the 2 speed offences and marks offence withdrawn?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.

My daughter is chronically ill, on dialysis three times a week, bones crumbling, lots and lots of various diagnosis. Last week told she would have to "live with" her non healing bones, fractured collar bone from Feb 2007, and none healing/fusing sternum following open heart surgery May 2007. She receives DLA both components at highest rate, IB, IS, and HB. She is in a wheelchair most of the time, and for the last month is living just downstairs in her home, as she has had yet another infection for which she spent 9 days in hospital five of those in intensive care. She is ver poorly. She has to take very large doses of opiates to get any sort of control for her pain, she is under the palliative care team.

 

Is there any way that we can cancel this interview at the job centre, they say they want to help her back into work, there is no way that she will ever work again, she is not diagnosed as terminally ill, but the infections that she keeps getting make her pottasium rise which in turn gives her heart a very hard time. The doctors and nurses have started preparing me for the inevitable.

Have you spoken to them and told them the seriousness of her illness, if not, then you need to, alternatively, get a note from her doctor saying that she is not fit for work and is unlikely to ever be in a position to restart work.

If she's on the higher rate of DLA... then there's no way they can force her into going back to work. Of course, that's what they'd prefer to do because thats what the Gov. wants...

 

I suppose it would be wrong of them not to give her that option because there are people on DLA who do work (different medical conditions).... because they prefer to and/or because they're able to certain kinds of work.

 

I'd be inclined to give DWP a ring and get some clarification on this one...

A quick polite call to the centre would stop any appointment there have asked your daughter to attend, don't be afraid about the letter, you have nothing to worry about, the JC are trying to get people on Incapcity benefit into employment, and it looks as if the letter is just computer generated, to claimants on there books. But due to the servere illnesses with your daughter, the quick phone call will put them correct as to your daughters needs. All the best for the times ahead.

As i said on the other thread sister call them and explain about your daughters health. If they need her to attend the interview then explain it will HAVE to be at her home due to her being unable to walk and get to the JC.

 

I cant see them saying she has to go back to work but i would advise you have as much as possible with you regarding her medical needs, medication doctors reports etc.

 

You can only try.

Just something you should know. DLA is a seperate issue to the JC.

 

Dla is not delt with by anybody in your local JC and they will not know anything regarding DLA unless told by your daughter, you or the DLA section. They may be able to find the info on screen but it may be limited info.

 

Good result anyway. Just what u wanted.

yes but those premiums dont say this person cannot return to work. It is just a premium that says you are sick /disabled.

 

I know threw my voluntary work that these premiums are based on what everyone gets not how sick /disabled u are.

 

But yes if the DWP had bothered to look then they would have the info in front of them about the disability/condition or they should have if that is not on a ristricted part of the system.

My point was, that when a person is on the highest/middle rate of DLA.... and the premiums are awarded because of the highest/middle rate of DLA, then not only should DWP be able to tell, they would also know that they could not force that person back to work.

 

Much cheaper to send out computer-generated letters to scare the cr&p out of people though...

This is not correct. A member of staff in a Jobcentre CAN access the full information right down to the actual illness / disability.

I dont mean to call you a liar or anything but from what the jobcentre keeps saying to me, my partner and everyoneone else who they deal with they cant acess anything to do with income support.

 

They keep making it very clear that they can only deal with jobseekers allowance and when we ring the income support office they make it very clear to us that on income support officers can acess income support.

 

I have also asked the area and regional manager about this who both say the same thing as the seperate claims officers.

I work in an office in the same region as where you live and I can give you a 100% guarantee that a member of staff in a Jobcentre CAN access any information necessary about Income Support, Incapacity Benefit & DLA. The only reason they may not be able to is a training issue and that would be limited to only a few staff.

Well as i said i am not calling u a liar but why are we constantly told the info i have given above by the members of staff in the jobcentre?

Also why would area and reginal managers be saying the same as the basic staff as they called you?

 

So just a question are you JC in benefits office staff?

I think that David was saying is that he and his colleagues at JC can access the info about disability/sickness benefits but they would not be able to advise on them in any way. It would make sense as they'd need to know whether there are any premiums applicable but they are not the agency responsible for awarding or advising on such benefits.

... because a lot of DWP staff either don't always know what they're talking about.... or can't be bothered to find out (not you Dave.... lol).

 

I have been told all kinds of bowlarks in the past by DWP staff.... and rang out of my area on one occasion in the hope of actually speaking to someone who knew what they were on about. The chance of you getting someone who knows their stuff in there is pot luck at times.... hence why I was able to put in a claim for over £1K in backdated premiums in the days when I was on IS, which they should have sorted out at the beginning.:evil:

 

No wonder they all work behind glass screens nowadays. No disrespect there Dave... it's not an easy job you've got there, by the way. :)

 

If you need to find out something specific GM, you may be better off posting on here.... or writing in to DWP (by rec. delivery)
