    • Ok i think we may have the issue, so its been just over 6 months since i was banned and when i defended the case and it should have been rescinded. I have just spoken to the courts, and they informed the DVLA that the ban should have been overturned. Now you need to reapply for your license when you have been banned, and they give a window of 45 days i believe after it has expired. The dates add up, what i think has happened is that my details have been removed from the system because i was banned for 6 months (when i shouldn't have been) and the additional days on top. If this is the case then i surely i can sue these idiots until the cows come home, i have been driving whilst banned (again when i shouldn't have been)  and this can affect my job, imagine i had been pulled over with my son in the car, they would have just arrested me and not listened to a word of my story.  
    • First thing to do is what the the DVLA website extract says - write to the Central Casework Group with full details of your licence, adding that you spoke to DVLA call centre xx/xx/xxxx and they told you they couldn't see the details either.  Get proof of posting. Are you in physical possession of your Driving Licence Photocard? And the card shows it is still current? If so include a photocopy of it when you write to DVLA. There's no reason for you to assume that the licence has been cancelled or that you have been banned. Just some IT problem at DVLA. I wouldn't go into all the stuff about your court case last year. There's no evidence that the current glitch in the DVLA system is anything to do with it and it will just muddy the waters.  Most comparision sites ask for your licence number. You can get quotes without the licence being checked but when you take up an insurer's quote they then check your licence number against the DVLA website to make sure it is valid and to check if any Points for motoring offences are recorded. If you are unable to access your licence details on DVLA then insurers won't be able to either so they will refuse to proceed and cancel their quote. 
    • How about posting the full email, rather than just the bits you want us to see??
    • Hi Folks,   Thank you for your help so far. Please find below the correspondence so far from various parties. If I've missed anything, please let me know.

    • Thanks just looked at SARequest It wouldn’t make ebay have to say why they suspended me. all their email said was that it was related to buying activity. But under that bike buying activity there are about five different reasons why it could’ve been. But they haven’t specified which of these five reasons it was.

    • 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.

This isn't a complaint, more a query.

 

I'm looking into taking out student possessions insurance with Endsleigh for my shared rented student house next academic year.

 

Thing is, the minimum cover (£2,500 worth - well over the value of my possessions) excludes pretty much everything I own that is of value! During term time (i.e. not vacation cover), it does not cover either theft or accidental damage of:

 

CDs

DVDs

CD players/hifis

DVD players (portable with screen or proper size)

MP3 players

 

The only thing that leaves is clothes and books. If either of these gets stolen, you have to have a certified police report before being able to claim for the theft. Personally I think it's petty and a waste of valuable police time to go to the police station to report the theft of your miniature French verb tables or A4 lined paper pad or something like that!). It just doesn't seem worth it. And no-one would break into a house just to steal that anyway.

 

So with the exception of my laptop and mobile, that excludes almost everything I own! So I'm thinking maybe it's not worth it at all to bother with getting a policy if it doesn't cover anything I want to cover. I'm sure I could find a individual laptop cover (i.e. no possessions else with it) cheaper somewhere else (or indeed with Endsleigh perhaps). My laptop is quite old and not worth much and I would be quite happy to just buy a new one myself so I wouldn't bother insuring it.

 

The vacation cover does cover these things, but to be honest in the holidays I am most likely to take them home with me so a cover would be pointless!

 

Does anyone else have this cover with Endsleigh and would you consider using it, or not, seeing as it excludes everything vulnerable to theft?!

You could try to find out if your parents' contents insurance covers you while you are at university. Several policies do provide this extension.

 

Endsleigh is not the only company which provides cover for student possessions - for example I found other companies like HSBC, E and L, and Saxon Insurance (by searching for student insurance UK on Google). I had a brief look at the HSBC policy, and they seem to cover musical/entertainment equipment, although I don't think they cover mobile phones. You could always get mobile phone insurance separately elsewhere.

Thanks, yeah that is an idea, I ought to ask my mum if that would apply. Would be nice!

 

Yeah I've looked at a few other student possessions insurance websites but the ones I have found have no been able to compete anywhere near the Endsleigh price (though they may cover more things) but I haven't checked a couple you mentioned so I will do so, thanks for your advice :)
