    • again a quick google search states Appeal a DVLA fine - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk) i would not be appealing mind. it's only a summary charge which they rarely do court on and pass out the powerless DCA's whom are not bailiffs they have 6mts. see where they go. as you've sorn'd it will probably be nulled. dx  
    • There are a number of reasons why you may not have been issued a notice in the post within 14 days. If you were stopped by the police it may have been given verbally. In the case of speeding offences, the police may issue you with a conditional offer of a fixed penalty of 3 points and £100.00 fine by post or an offer of a speed awareness course. If the offence is considered too serious for a speed awareness course or fixed penalty you may be charged with an offence which normally occurs by way of the issue of a Single Justice Procedure Notice. If the vehicle within which the alleged offence took place was registered to another person or company there is technically no need for a notice to be issued to the driver. After the police have obtained details of the nominated the driver, they will normally send the notice to them, although there are no time limits within which they must do so (provided that the notice was received within 14 days by the registered keeper of the vehicle). In such circumstances, a person may receive a notice several months after the alleged offence too place but still be prosecuted. A Guide to a Notice of Intended Prosecution | Motoring Offence Lawyers the above copy n paste link has purely been copy n pasted here to inform you of the regs, which you could have done yourself by, as this is, a google search......... we do not ever recommend using such offered webservices! dont dx    
    • all DYL's are subject to a TRO. looking at this newish, ever increasing as old ind units have gotten removed, estate, there are only lines on one side, on the other there is a parking lane with traffic calming through which you mention. i seriously doubt your mate has any clue what he is talking about.!! its not a private housing assoc estate. so its a public council owned road. no construction co can just decide to draw their graffiti on a road. the DYLs are certainly there pre 2016 even before his home was built. now ive had a quick look to see if the main access to royal park road has signs. there is no royle park road even on your map but there is a royal barn road which leads to where you are parked royal road has a restriction sign on the pole by the fence of the electric substation jnc with gipsy lane there does not appear to be one leading in from the other end - tesco petrol station
    • Hi All. I was driving in Stevenage down a 40 road after coming off the motor way, i noticed my car felt a little "weird" i accelerated, then slowed the car down.  Shortly after i got stopped by a manned police car with a laser. During the stop the officer stated i was doing 54 in a 40, the conversation was short, but he said i would unlikely get a awareness course and it was most likely 3 points and a fine.  Mrs thought it was a good idea to have dairy when she is lactose intolerant on date night, we just got on our way.  At the time, i didnt admit to the offence, but did say i didnt realise and had slowed down in any case. The officers chest camera was recording and on. At the stop, he asked where to send the fine to, as i knew i would be travelling to visit family up north, i provided my temporary details at that location in Yorkshire. It is now 05/05 and i haven't received anything at either my home address in Stevenage or the temporary address. 1. Is there a time limit in which paperwork needs to be sent to me. 2. Should i query the ticket as i don't want to miss any deadlines (if so who do i check with?) OR should i keep quiet. 3. Given nothing has arrived in 20 days, is there a chance of appeal if and when it comes through? Many thanks CrazeUK
    • Hi All. A family friends car was having issues when she was on a trip visiting family up north at the beginning of January.  She ended up leaving it at my friends garage in the same location, who parked it on his forecourt to investigate the issue, however he said most likely it is beyond economical repair as its a serious gearbox fault. In the meantime i replaced her car with one of my spare cars. The insurance on the car then expired in at the end of January.  When the insurance expired, I sent a paper V890 paper as i didnt have her V5 Reference number in hand to do it online (i have a copy of this).  She didnt mention she hadnt received any confirmation as she didnt know if she would get one.  She then cancelled her road tax at the end of March (i think) as she was paying by DD. She then was travelling up north so didnt get her mail until last week. She received a letter dated 09/04/2024 stating she had failed to insure the vehicle and there was a £100 fine which could be reduced to £50 if she responds by 11/05/2024.  As soon as we noticed, i got her to dig  out the V5 and SORN'd the vehicle.   My friend has been a bit slow in checking the fault, however i suspect it will still be scrapped and is still on his forecourt. Is this possible to appeal?

    • 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,

After a few weeks of trawling this amazing site i have started the process to get back what is rightfully mine!!

I sent my DPA request letter to Barclays/Barclaycard just over a week ago. I received the standard reply from Barclays about them not being obliged to comment on manual intervention. Do i need to reply to this or should i just wait and see what they send in the form of statements?? (is there somewhere i have missed on the forum that answers this question...knowing me, most likely!!)

I also received the standard letter from Barclaycard about microfiche and statements dating from 2nd june 2004 to 4th July 2006. I will be sending the DPA disclosure request letter in the morning and will keep everyone updated on the response (although i think we all know what they will say!)

I will keep everyone posted.

Sophie.

Hi Sophie, welcome aboard.

 

You don't need to worry about manual intervention. The fact they didn't respond to the question is enough.

 

If they do not supply the full list of charges, use our templated letters in the 'Library' to force disclosure (DPA non-compliance letters)

 

Best of luck

Just an update on things:

Im still awaiting my statements from Barclays.

Last Wednesday (19th July) I received the expected reply from Barclaycard stating that the microfiche documents were not covered by the DPA and could be purchased for £3 a sheet etc. I have now compiled the LBA which I intend to send in the morning, unless anyone advises me differently in the meantime...

Here's an update... I received on the 30th July a letter from Barclaycard stating that there is nothing more they can add in regards to sending a full 6 years worth of statements.

Could someone confirm that the next step for me is to sit out the remaining time until the 40 days are up (the deadline ends in 7 days) and then from there send the preliminary approach letter and contact the information commissioner regarding non compliance??..i think thats right???

As for Barclays they have still not sent a single bank statement. However i did manage to dig up a years worth of old ones, in one year i was charged £430..unbelievable!! Im thinking that i should wait the week for the deadline to end for them too and then go from there with the preliminary approach letter.

any advise would be much appreciated...

I would start with the letter we have in the templates library for DPA non-compliance. There are several versions, so pick the one that suits the timescale etc.

 

Once that has been done, it will bne easier and quicker for you to start legal action to force them to comply.

 

Get prepared to write to the IC at the 40 day deadline.

Posted preliminary approach for repayment letter to Barclaycard, as they have refused to send the complete six years worth of statements i have had to estimate the amount owed to me. I have requested a repayment of £540. I will wait the 14 days to see what they intend to do.

yes i did jonni2bad, i think i must have forgotten to add that into my thread!!! i sent them several requests for the missing statements and then about 16 days ago after the deadline i issued Barclaycard with the non compliance letter...was this the correct procedure?? i hope so!!

It was... What timescale for reply did that give? 7 days??

 

If it has passed, you should issue a court claim for non-compliance. This will have to be in person, not MCOL.

I have received this morning a letter from Barclaycard offering me £216 as a goodwill gesture. Am i right in thinking i now send them the rejection of settlement letter??? and if so what is the time scale i should give them to respond? they still have 9 days before the end of deadline i issued in the approach for repayment letter. Any advice would be much appreciated.

Could anyone offer advice on my next step: I have sent Barclaycard the request for payment letter asking for £540 and they have replied offering me £216. Is there any need to send the LBA as they are not likely to budge or do i just send them the rejection of settlement letter and began filing for a court claim???

Thanks Barracad for your help, I have followed the step by step process to now but i was a little confused as to whether i send the rejection letter or ignore the offer and just send the LBA..please could you clarify that it is the LBA that should be my next move?

Thanks, Sophie.

Your post on 6th Sept suggested you had already posted the LBA. Is that not correct?

 

Perhaps there is just too much confusion because this thread seems to be talking about 2 separate claims...

 

If their offer was in response to an LBA, you should send a rejection letter. If it was a PRELIM REQUEST letter, then simply amend the LBA to include a short sentence outlining your refusal etc.

Thanks Jonni2bad for your help!!

 

The LBA sent was for Barclays bank not Barclaycard (i shall highlight in bold the bank im talking about from now on to make it easier to follow!!)...I guess this thread is getting a little confusing. I started both Barclays and Barclaycard in the same thread originally as i sent one letter to Barclays bank to cover both accounts (my credit and debit account), i should have realised that this may cause confusion somewhere down the line...on a brighter note, i have started a seperate thread for my halifax account :)

 

The letter was a prelim request so i shall go to the next step and send the LBA..

Thanks for helping resolve my issues, it's much appreciated!!
