    • Know it has already been answered, but? Does not explain why JCI has registered a different default date when they get the information from the original creditor, Virgin
    • Since you were stopped at the time there is no requirement for the police give you anything there and then or to send you anything before they have decided how to deal with the offence.  They have three choices: Offer you a course Offer you a fixed penalty (£100 and three points) Prosecute you in court  The only option that has a formal time limit is (3). They must begin court proceedings within six months of the date of the alleged offence. Options (1) and (2) have no time limit but since the only alternative the police have if you decline those offers is (3) they will not usually offer a course beyond three months from the date of the offence and will not usually offer a fixed penalty beyond four months from that date. This is so as to allow time for the driver to accept and comply with their offer and to give them the time to go to option (3) if he declines or ignores it.  Unless there is a good reason to do otherwise, the action they take will usually be in accordance with the National Police Chiefs' Council's guidance on speeding enforcement. In a 40mph limit this is as follows Up to 45mph - no action. Between 46mph and 53mph - offer a course Between 54mph and 65mph - offer a fixed penalty Over 65mph - prosecution in court So you can see that 54mph should see you offered a fixed penalty. Three weeks is not overly long for a fixed penalty offer to arrive. As well as that, there has been Easter in that period which will have slowed things down a bit. However, I would suggest that if it gets to about two months from the offence date and you have still heard nohing, I would contact the ticket office for the area where you were stopped to see if anything has been sent to you. Of course this raises the danger that you might be "stirring the hornets' nest". But in all honesty, if the police have decided to take no action, you jogging their memory should not really influence them. The bigger danger, IMHO, is that your fixed penalty offer may have been sent but lost and if you do not respond it will lapse. This will see the police revert to option (3) above. Whilst there is a mechanism in these circumstances  to persuade the court to sentence you at the fixed penalty level (rather than in accordance with the normal guidelines which will see a harsher penalty), it relies on them believing you when you say you did not received an offer. In any case it is aggravation you could well do without so for the sake of a phone call, I'd enquire if it was me.  I think I've answered all your questions but if I can help further just let me know. Just a tip - if you are offered a fixed penalty be sure to submit your driving licence details as instructed. I've seen lots of instances where a driver has not done this. There will be no reminder and no second chance; your £100 will be refunded and the police will prosecute you through the courts.
    • Looks similar to you original email to their Complaints team. I dont rate copypasta for a CEO complaint. Rewrite it with emotion involved as to how badly this is affecting you and make them feel embarrassed for their actions...

    • 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.

thanks for help i did send them a letter section 10 etc but still returned a default letter above but thanks for your help i think i might have to go to fos and complain

 

Write to them again with another Sec 10 stating specifically that they have no contractual right to be sharing this information as you have at no time agreed to this behaviour.

You have the right to food money.

If you don't mind a little investigation, humiliation, and if you cross your fingers rehabilitation..............

If it's the littlewoods direct thread then that's basically what you need to send them (amended to suit yourself obviously).

 

Whether they provide a signed CCA or not this company do not have a clause in their T&C's in which you agree to them sharing your data with CRA's. Odd and very poorly drawn T&C's IMO but point this out to them and demand the information be withdrawn.

 

(Normally when they have no cca they claim they can share your data because you agreed to it on signup, with this company they cannot make this claim because there is no mention of credit referencing in the T&C's)

recieved this reply from ombudsman

If there are outstanding monies to a finance company it is entitled to register this information with credit referencing agencies. Although it has taken the commercial decision to not pursue you for the debt it has an obligation to register any outstanding payments with these agencies. Whereby there is no dispute that you have benefitted from the money, despite no credit agreement being able to be provided, it is not unreasonable for a company to register such information. Of course if you were pay to the money owed to the company it would have correct this information to settled.

 

i thought it couldnt be put on credit refrnce agency list now this im so confused please help

The ombudsman is taking the rather oversimplified view that contractual right exists (based on Information Commissioners Office decision).

In your case contractual right does not exist.

 

 

The answer lies in schedule 2 of the Data Protection Act 1998.

 

SCHEDULE 2Section 4(3).

Conditions relevant for purposes of the first principle: processing of any personal data

icon_closed_level.gif

1. The data subject has given his consent to the processing.

icon_closed_level.gif

2. The processing is necessary— (a)

for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party, or

 

(b)

for the taking of steps at the request of the data subject with a view to entering into a contract.

 

 

icon_closed_level.gif

3. The processing is necessary for compliance with any legal obligation to which the data controller is subject, other than an obligation imposed by contract.

icon_closed_level.gif

4. The processing is necessary in order to protect the vital interests of the data subject.

icon_closed_level.gif

5. The processing is necessary— (a)

for the administration of justice,

 

[F1 (aa)

for the exercise of any functions of either House of Parliament,]

 

(b)

for the exercise of any functions conferred on any person by or under any enactment,

 

©

for the exercise of any functions of the Crown, a Minister of the Crown or a government department, or

 

(d)

for the exercise of any other functions of a public nature exercised in the public interest by any person.

 

 

Creditor does not gain contractual right under the T&C's of this account simple as.

You have the right to food money.

recieved letter from shop direct in reply to my letter asking them to remove data from credit agency files there reply

i can confirm that as we are unable to locate signed agreement i should explain that whilst a court has power under section 127 of the consumer crdit act 1974 to decide that we cannot enforce the agreement, it does not mean that the debt doesnt exist. there is clear evidence of a credit based relationsh between the shop direct group and you.the debt remains unsatisfied and this wil be noted on our internal file for future, this info will also form part of our records at credit refrence agency for 6 years. this is our final response

 

please can anyone help im confused now

this is normal behaviour with Shop direct they have shares in one of the credit referance agencys so get away with this all the time.

 

I am sorry but they wont budge as this is the rules according to them. U may just need to put up with it. the rest of us that have had shop direct accounts have been trying for ages, 18 mths plus for me, to get the info off our Credit file without sucess.
