    • @Man in the middle I've been searching the forum and you seem very knowledgeable. Would you mind giving a look at my query please? Thanks in advance!!
    • Thanks for this! I'm still not clear if I'm facing more than 6 points on my license though. Can you explain any further please? When I accept the 2nd speeding ticket, will they just charge me £100 and 3 points, or will they be more severe concenquences since that offense took place the following day of the 1st offense? Similarly, when I accept the 3rd offense, will they look at my record or just charge me with the £100 fine and 3 points?
    • Yes of course. That's why it says cc:: BIg Motoring World at the bottom. Don't imagine that this solves the issue. It doesn't. He not have to force the finance company and big motoring world to accept the rejection to give your money back. I suggest that you get the letter off tomorrow. And let us know what you hear but on Friday you should then send a threat to the finance company.   Have a look what I have said here about your options and read the whole thread as well.  
    • Been perusing the actual figures on the polls above wondering where the '16% claimed for deform comes from? I understand that there are 'weighted' end results based on secret calculations ...   Probably going to repeat this later, but remember that the ukip/brexit/reform/deform party has ALWAYS had poll speculation FAR better than their actual  performance at elections - by large margins. SO: The labor and Tory votes come largely from simply the people who say they will vote for them - sorted Lab 43% Tory 20%, with maybe another small 1-2% coming from the weightings of the 'not sures' Greens largely get what is declared from 'other' , although with another declared green bit from the 'pressed' question   So as the share of the voting displayed in 'other' granted to reform/deform is around 11%, where does the '16% too often being reported come from? Seems that reform has been granted as beneficiary of effectively ALL the don't knows and wont says, who when pressed didn't actually declare for someone else ... effectively adding 40%+ to their reported polling % - rather strange given their consistent under-performance compared to polling - or perhaps that is the cause of the higher rating eh?   Now I admit the possibility (probability?) of wingers being ashamed of declaring their support for the yuckey lemon end of the spectrum ... but surely  that should affect the 'Torys as well? Maybe the statisticians have simply weighted in that deform wingers are simply more likely to lie?   But - without 'weightings' and assumptions that faragits will get everything that isnt declared as a definite and unequivocal 'not that Piers Morgan' - reform is on around 11% it seems.   Add to that the history of polling a lot less than the hype - and the simple fact that faragit wingers seem to be spread across the country (presumably skulking in their moms spare room despite being 45+) and greens and lib dems seem to be community minded - I think two seats will be an epic result for farage. Hardly the opposition - far more raving wingnut party.   and importantly - Has farage got a home in clacton yet?

    • 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.

Posted a sar letter on the 22nd July same day as i posted NCO a letter telling them not to call at my house and that the account was in dispute. I recieved a letter from NCO this morning this is the letter. Dated 25 jul 2006

seventy two hour notice

 

You have been legally notified of this debt and you have chosen to ignore your liability to our client. The following alternatives are now available to you:

1) send £425.18 immediatelty

2) contact Ms ***** on **** *** **** to discuss this matter.

Failure to comply with either of these options can result in court action being instigated against you without further communication to yourself.

 

Can they do anything even though i have asked Capital One to take it back and how long do i have to wait for a reply to my SAR the haven't took the £10 out of my bank yet for the charge of it.

 

I would be grateful of any help. Thanks

I would phone Capital one right now and speak to them about it. Be firm with them and tell them you want them to take the debt back as it is in despute. they should contact NCO about it rather than you. that is what happened with my council tax arrears. you dont want them coming to your house and lifting all your stuff...

Hi lynn

 

I sent my SAR letter to cap one on 3 July which gave them til 14th August to send my statements. I received them yesterday....9th August...with 5 days to go til the deadline, I've read a few posts where people received their statements with only 1 day to go til the 40 day deadline was up.

 

They still haven't cashed my £10 cheque either, I don't think they will now but if they do then I'll just add it to my claim.

 

Hang in there Lynn, you will receive your statements. Count your 40 days from the date on their acknowledgement letter saying they had received your SAR, then that'll give you an idea of how long it should take.

 

Hope I've helped. Im pretty new to this myself. And I'm crapping myself as I've never done anything like this before! lol

i've added up the late payment fees and overlimit fees and they come upto £320 do i have to add the interest on this an if so how so i do it. Are these the only things you add up or do you add the purchase interest rate as well (i'm a bit confussed now after sat reading a few posts on here).

Hope someone can help. Thanks

What about DD Reversed fee? I have read about this one also on Cap One, anything that is not either interest, cash advance or a purchase should be looked at closely, it may not at first glance appear to be a fee.

Do i have to wait until this statement comes before i send the prelim letter off. Also i have a card protection on it one for £35 and one for £50 is there anything i can do about these. Thanks

Yes indeed!!

I claimed for DD reversed fees. These enraged me more than any other charge. Got charged £35 from my current account and then £20 from Cap One.

Over the top and unreasonable.

Send off your prelim. Your claim can be amended up until you file at court - so still plenty of time for your missing statement to arrive.

 

I can't help with the other question, I'm afraid - anyone else?

You can send the letter now, no need to wait for the statement. It will be possible to amend your claim at the LBA stage or even right up until you actually file it.

 

As for the card protection fees, this is a service that you have bought and paid for, you cannot claim that these are unlawful charges.

hi lynnuk

ive been searchin and searchin for about two hours for a letter saying exactly that.. someone has advised me to say in the lba that i will accept the offer as partial settlement and i do not accept this offer as full and final settlement and my acceptance does not prejudice my right to take you to court for the full amount..

Thanks for that i have written a letter out but am a bit confused now, this is a copy of my letter

Response to settlement offer.

Dear Sir/Madam

Thank you for your letter dated 18th September 06.

I repectfully decline your offer of settlement and request, once again, that you return to me all charges imposed on this account, totalling £320.00.

I will accept the sum offered only as part settlement and on the clear understanding that i will pursue recovery of the remainder, with a County Court claim if necessary.

My letter before action sent previously indicates that you will have until xx/xx/xx to respond before Court action commences. You are reminded that there will be no extension to this timescale.

I trust this clarifies my posistion.
