    • Just an update for all. I received about a letter every other week, increasing in threat levels. Then I hadn't had one for a about two weeks, then Saturday received a carbon copy of the very first letter they sent me in February. Made me laugh, rinse and repeat. 
    • So, your response was not received by the SCP as you did not send it with a valid stamp. Therefore, from my two option in post #14, the first option is the only one available to you, but you do not have the option of asking to be sentenced at the fixed penalty level as the reason the SCP did not receive your response was down to you. Here's a reminder of what to do: Respond to the SJPN by pleading “Not Guilty” to both charges. In the “Reasons for pleading Not Guilty” box state that you are willing to plead guilty to the speeding charge providing, and only providing, the “Fail to Provide Driver's Details" (FtP) charge is dropped. This is a tried and tested method to deal with your problem and is almost always successful. Before the pandemic it was necessary to attend court to do this "deal" because it needs the agreement of the police prosecutor.. During the pandemic courts made every effort to have as few  people as possible attend and they began doing this deal under the "Single Justice" procedure without the defendant's attendance. Some courts have carried this procedure on whilst others have reverted to a personal attendance being necessary. If you are required to attend, your case will be taken out of the SJ procedure and you will be given a date for a hearing in the normal Magistrates' Court. If that is the way they do it in the area involved you will have to attend, see the prosecutor and offer your "deal" in person.

    • 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.

Hi, I have no connection with CAG, save that I post here from time to time

 

I'm curious now though, so hope OK to ask the following...

 

a) The Carlex.org website to which you refer in your own website is offline - and the wayback machine (which is usually quite helpful) is not showing any previous/historic pages there. Link is at http://web.archive.org/web/*/http://www.carlex.org.

 

Any chance of directing us to the correct page(s)?

 

b) Also, sorry if it sounds a little suspicious, but what link, or connection was there to you calling yourselves CARLEX in the first place?

 

You say that there is no connection with CARL, of course, but I am mindful that CARL is a (relatively) well known campaign against leasehold and leasehold abuses.

 

I mention all this as I remember quite well the old 'leaseholder/s' .co.uk website - used predominately by unhappy leaseholders and invaluable at the time - which, later, appeared to 'disappear' and subsequently became a website for an Insurance Company... that was itself within the group of companies that leaseholders were allegedly complaining about in the first place... which (irony upon irony) included a group of companies later swallowed up by Erinaceous

 

I am genuinely interested to know more about your own organisation though, so, apologies for any offence caused and happy to stand corrected

 

Happy to be reassured as to your intentions too, so you are welcome to reply openly and/or PM me too if you wish - as well as responding to CAG moderators requests too, of course ;)

As for me, happy to help out. I am not a Landlord, but I have been in the past. I am not an Agent, but I have been in the past. I am, therefore, a has been, so always seek independent and suitably qualified advice elsewhere before relying upon whatever has been posted here :-)

There appears to be a few 'carlex' sites out there..

 

 

 

Im sure they do a great job informing retired people with service charge disputes, it just seems odd that a quick 'google' finds three sites.

Andy, hi...

 

That's weird. Firstly, the second of these webpages I'd already had a read through and was looking forward to hearing more about the various carlex organisations - but the posters messages now appear to have been removed.

 

I also recall the carlex poster saying they would PM me (yup, quick check of copied emails shows one of the messages was "I will send you the link to Carlex AG via PM") but I never heard anything.

 

Now I see that that poster (CARLEX UK) and their messages elsewhere on CAG (such as at http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?22067-Property-Management-Debt-collection-Charges) appear to have disappeared completely

 

Andy, you and I have swopped messages before, so hopefully you can vouch for my intentions being to genuinely help where possible - so I'm all for other posters helping out wherever they can too

 

BUT I'm quite curious as to what happened to CARLEX UK now

 

Might be helpful if moderators could advise, for which thanks in advance?

 

Cheers, NewSAHD

Ok thank you for your PM.

I am happy to respond.

The position is that as with all members who register and post on the site who are acting in an official capacity for an organisation,CAG asks that these members contact Admin so that we can be clear as to they have brief to post as representitives,and also that there is a clear understanding of what CAG expects in consideration of site rules.

Regular members will be aware that links to external websites need prior approval.

We get hundreds of requests to permit external links as you can imagine-many are not appropriate or fit within the ethos of what we aim to do.

If a member is asked to contact Admin to confirm their brief and acknowledge posting expectations,then we obviously review that and respond.

If a member fails to respond to that request,then it can lead to moderation until its done.

In the case of Carlex,as far as I can see no response has been forthcoming despite the requests.

I hope this answers questions,and again will stress that links to external sites are not permitted without approval.

This is a policy which has existed for some time,and therefore is nothing personal or discriminatory in this instance.

If Carlex has responded already,then it will obviously be looked at.

MARTIN3030, thanks for the quick reply, much appreciated.

 

It's a shame the carlex poster hasn't replied, perhaps, as the more leaseholders/tenants that can be made aware of THEIR rights the better. Seen too many Freehold/Agent abuses against them over the years not to want as many others as possible to help out. Fairly, though, come up against enough unreasonable, uncooperative, and ill informed leaseholders/tenants to know it cuts both ways too, sometimes.

 

There was a poster here earlier this year (don't recall the name, but it WILL come back to me later ;) ) who used to reply to CAG posts - then, later, started, or tried to start redirecting posters to his own forum :) Wouldn't have been so bad if the advice he/she was giving hadn't been so, well, a bit off base sometimes. Haven't seen that poster around for awhile, think his/her user name was MZuckerberg or something. If time later will track back later and see how his forum is/isn't going!

 

Thanks for the quick reply though, here's hoping carlex can sort out providing you with some kind of response now.

 

It's perhaps a shame if they can't do so though.

 

Thanks again,

NewSAHD

The TAS website makes for some 'interesting' reading and have followed it for a little while now.

 

Interestingly, there is a post re CARLEX from the 24th November with one poster there, in particular, stating

 

"I am always slightly suspicous of things. Dear Don Heady, God rest him, created CarlexAG.org – it is a great “resource”. It seems he took the passwords with him …

On the links page on carlex’ web site this appears:

“Age UK provides an impartial advisory service for people living or working in private retirement or sheltered housing.”

PLEASE be aware that Age Uk is a PEVEREL funded charity – but it costs Peverel nothing – they get the cash back via HMRC.

I know that there was a considerable difference of opinion between Don and Melissa. I think Melissa should explain who is paying for her site and its maintenance … and so clear the air"

 

I do hope whatever suspicions that are there can be allayed, as sites such as CAG, TAS, the old 'leaseholder' forum (long gone) and others can all provide an invaluable service

 

So, CARLEX AG, whoever you were posting on CAG, please do reassure us all

 

NewSAHD

 

PS I have no links whatsoever of which I am aware with TAS, CARLEX :) etc!

No time to edit the post, above, but there IS further info on the TAS website.. at... /2010/10/01/clarification-on-carlex-carlexag/

Here's a general query in relation to this thread. What would be the situation if all the Leaseholders clubbed together by forming their own Ltd Co. registered as not for profit. Then write to the likes of these Management Co's stating "we have no need of your services". Surely with both sides being Co's, could you then charge the otherside for all correspondence out to them...? It would be a bit like putting the balance back in - charges like for like? Any thoughts anyone.

It sounds like you are describing a rtm or right to manage agreement, try googling it and its best to start a new thread.

Yes I am but without using the term RTM. I'm curious as to how others have achieved the same result in that due to the wording of their Leases in that they can carry out the work/repairs, then they managed to negate the RTM. They literally formed their own Co. & took it from there. From what I can gather they've gotten away with it too. I only wish I could remember where I saw this as I'd happily post this up. Thing is have you ever heard of this, as it appears those on this site are actually more clued up than solicitors. Thanks for responding.
