    • Thanks DX I will have that uploaded
    • its SJPN you simply fill the form in pleading not guilty. you will then be sent a later court date by letter to appear at your local magistrates court or the DVLA will might even drop the whole case. if you want ,fill in the small section of the form too, simply stating that payment for said road tax was cancelled and latterly reclaimed as a new DD was already in place. hence i double paid for said disputed period of the claim. just to be 1000% sure. please scan to PDF the page that states what you have been summoned for.  read upload carefully 
    • HI DX Yes check it every month , after I reinstated the second DD I was checking every week. Also checked my bank statements and each payment has cleared. When responding to the court claim does it need to be in specific terms ? Or laid out in a certain format? Or is it just a case of putting down in writing how I have explained it on CAG?

    • You have of course checked the car is now taxed and the £68 is stated against  the same reg?  If the tax for the same car did over lap, then I can't see you having an issue pleading not guilty 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.

Sorry if you misunderstood me Brummie but Bryan Carter is a branch of Crellins Carter based at Freds nerbve centre in DeHavilland Drive, Weybridge. The Law Society website shows no partners or solicitors are based there. Head office is Crellins Carters, 111 Queens Road, Weybridge, KT13 9 UW

 

Surprisingly the firms website makes no reference to the branch. It states the firm "operates from a single modern office in Weybridge"

 

They claim to be "a Surrey based niche private client practice with a national reputation" - that is perfectly true alyhough the reputuation may not be one that others wouldlike!

Carter has had his 28 days to reply to my complaint, now its time to go looking for him via SRA and others ie the ombudsman etc.

 

Watch this space

Hi ODC

 

personally i wouldnt bother reporting him to the FOS, they have no teeth,and as far as i can see there is little they could do to carters

 

i would report him to the people who deal with professional conduct of solicitors like the SRA for starters

Whilst I agree that the FOS appear to have no teeth I still feel its important that the actions of this mand are brought to the notice of as many 'official bodies' as possible. I believe that some time someone in these bodies will grasp the nettle and deal properly with all these people who break the rules

Update,

 

Finally got a response from BC regarding my letters to them after 12 weeks!!!!!.

 

Letter say that "We have discontinued proceedings for commercial reasons and the debt remains outstanding"

 

Also states that they are "no longer instructed in connection in this matter" with any further queries directed to OC direct.

 

Also enclosed was a copy of their complaints procedure!!! with specific names of people to write to and appeals procedure etc.

 

This means they have admitted defeat, and so it goes back to Egg.

 

Time to write a nice letter regarding time wasting, abuse of procedure and charge for my time me thinks.

BB you have broken the rules. Were you not aware that you were just suppose to roll over and let Bryan get Judgement by Default. I think you have been grossly unfair to him. He will probably have to claim his fees from Egg.

 

Make sure you report him to the SRA

He has only broken the rules of the Bryan Carter empire, not the law of the land, therefore i support him wholeheartedly

Please note i have no legal training any advice i give comes from my own experience and from what i have learned on this site

Hi BB, Its Q, you may not remember me, its nice to see you are still around CAG.

 

Any update to the contents of your post # 60?

 

We never heard another thing from BC after he got a CCJ on my OH and he had only sued for his fees. CCJ was satisfied he tried to get the balance, I confronted him on the phone and told him to put his request in writing, he never did and we have never heard another thing. That was a year ago now.

 

I have a CCJ awarded a year ago from a bottom feeder company and they have done the same thing.

Only sued for part of the balance. I'm trying to get it sorted so I can pay by installments and satisfy this ccj.

 

I was just wondering how you got on with your complaints.

 

cheers Q.x.

Hi Q,

 

Nice to see you are still around on these forums too!!

 

Well BC replied to my complaint and mitigated with a couple of well rehearsed excuses, and I never pushed it any further which I know I should have done. All went quiet for a few months, then I had a letter from Lowell Portfolio asking for the full balance, so I have sent them the usual stuff "acc in dispute" etc.

 

Then Lowell came up with the agreement!!! but it is unenforceable. Just when they sent me the agreement and statements etc they also sent a seperate letter saying that they were no longer chasing for the balance!! very strange?? So that was about the start of Feb and I have heard nothing since, so if there are any more serious developments I will update the thread.

 

I have other problems more serious at the moment such as a High court Writ of Fi Fa against me which I am taking down the N245 Route at the moment to get a variation of a judgment for another one of my debts.

 

But one thing is for sure, I would not have had the confidence to deal with this stuff without all of the good caggers support and knowledge!!!

 

All the best to you.

Long time since posting on this thread - but just to prove the account has never gone away,

 

I have a question for the legal bods,

 

Can Lowell legally issue proceedings to try to enforce payment - bear in mind that Bryan Carter have tried once and discontinued?

 

Getting alot of pressure from Lowell who I think are going to try to go CCJ route for enforcement.

 

Thanks

yep :(

 

if it's still with the OC they may have to get permission - not sure about that

but if Lowells have bought it they can bring a new action.

 

However if Lowells have bought it that obviously opens up a whole new line of investigation as well.

 

Generally BC only deals with 'faulty' accounts so, not having read your thread, there may be something wrong anyway.

Looking at your sig - it may be the Egg account - if it is, demand a copy of the DN :D - quite apart from the 'other issues' with Egg accounts

Hi gh2008,

 

It is for an Egg account and a link to the DN is here :

 

http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/debt-collection-industry/138599-bryan-carter-what-coincidence-2.html#post1479986

 

I never had any opinions at the time of posting, as to validity of DN. Egg sold the account to Lowell around October 2008 I think.

 

I asked for the CCA (std s77/78request) in Jan 09 which they initially wrote and said they could not find the agg and the matter was closed!!. Then about a week later I had a copy of the agreement - on closer inspection, it is definitley not the original document but has been put together with my signature on it from an amalgamation of bits of Egg paperwork. The signature is genuine so they have reconstituted what it would have looked like.

 

So at this time the DN is about all I have to go on unless you know different?

 

Thanks for looking in

They are not allowed to reconstitute an agreement with your signature !!!

 

They also will not have a proper record when when and how the DN was sent.

 

Wait for them to act and get heavy and then pounce.

When you get a letter threatening a claim against you I would reply acknowledging their 'letter before claim' and state that in order for you to make a proper reply you need further info etc. Then make that letter into a CPR31.16 request for the agreement, DN, NOA DOA & statements etc. All absolutely required in order for them to prove an action against you and for you to answer them.

 

It *may* be an idea to get a SAR off to EGG - it is always surprising what these turn up .... (I would always send one off to the OC when you think court action may follow)
