    • Sorry to ask, but I know I had SB template on PC, but can't find it. Also any search for template\SB letter takes me back here.  Any help to get to SB letter would be appreciated. I know I used it on a car HP co that wouldn't honor my FCS refund and after 6 years came threatening ( or rather their DCA). Worked a treat. Thanks in advance
    • Received this letter today after all this time !! Doesn’t sound like just a threat any advice please  Thanks  Photo.pdf
    • Good evening. Hoping to keep this short and concise. Any help really appreciated! Sent originated from council tax in 2019.  I moved address for a new career 240miles away in December 2019 and have lived here ever since.  A distant friend resides at previous address.  A CCJ was filed regarding this debt in January 2020 but no correspondence was received my end or at the old address.  Move forward to this year; early April I learn of a letter received from Bailiff - Notice of Enforcement dated 13/03. Stated I had ten days to settle a payment/payment plan or £75 will be added after ten days from 13/03 and bailiff instructed to visit.  Obviously I was unaware of this letter till well after the time period passed. Attempted to contact Dukes via email but zero response. Asked for breathing space in order to check the original debt with the respective council (I wasn’t awarded a week of Housing despite being on UC for a short period due to a contract date given by the old employer).  29/04 a note was left at the old address stating a bailiff had visited. New balance £310 more than original outstanding.  I’ve since contacted both the council and the bailiff agent to state I’m more than happy to settle the original debt over a payment plan but at this stage they will not remove the fees despite all correspondence not being sent to me and obviously me only seeing them much later than one would have expected.  Tried live chat today with the company and firstly was told the fees will remain because I spoke to the enforcement agent - I have never spoken to him/her.  secondly told the fees would remain because “I tried to use their web chat service to complete an income form” - I have zero recollection of doing this and I also wonder if it’s another tactic? any help on where I stand with the fees added would be incredible. Thank you
    • the evidence you have from Mercedes is perfect. simply write to both the finance company and the dealership that sold you the car, stating under the consumer rights Act 2015 should a fault appear outside of 6mts, it's for the consumer to prove the fault was present at time of sale. Please find enclosed a copy of said report from Mercedes at XXXX stating quite clearly that the windscreen was replaced on Date , some xxx months/years BEFORE my purchase on DATE. there is a bill to pay of XXX to XXX , i expect you to sort this out between yourselves , i am not liable for this. something upon those lines anyway.

    • 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.

the bailiffs can only levy on goods BELONGING to you personally,if you have say a grown up child at home who owns a car and parks it outside, if the bailiff says they will levy it, tell them it does not belong to you and if they remove it , it has been removed unlawfully, and the owner will contact the police as this is theft, if nothing in the property belongs to youi.e. your partner has all the goods in their name these too cannot be touched nor can any thing on 'tick', this is provided the bill is in your name only.

Worse than that! They took a levy on a vehicle not even outside my property but a neighbours. I believe they knocked at the wrong house twice!

 

They insist I had 2 visits. State this car was parked at the front of the house in front of garage. did not speak to anyone - no one home and left letters. Then they called again and this time left the levy. Problem is the first attending bailiff was obviously knocking at a neighbours - who owns the car. Wrote the number down to take as a levy. The second bailiff had a headed piece of paper faxed over to him with all the charges already added titled Notice of Distress and dated April 1st. The bailiff just adds the registration number down and the date he called and slips it through the letterbox.

Well, I live in an upstairs flat so they can't get hold of any garden furniture of anything like that, and I can't drive so they can't have levied on a car !

 

Dammit I think they must have tried to levy on my luxury yacht... either that or the flying unicorn I whizz about the place on ;)

 

Hey ho. Once more unto the fray!!!

Heres my last one.

if it's on letter you receive - in the UK it means you can not present that letter as evidence at court, however the sender can do so if she/he wishes.Flying unicorns- broomsticks -Tawnyowl worried-theres something of the night about this.Tawnyowl.

It was on a letterhead that was photocopied or faxed over to the bailiff for him to put his squiggle. Hard life, just drive by and sneak it through the letterbox! Oh and by the way charge you £181.85 for the privelege. Trying to prove their report is a load of tosh now!

Oh that's good, they don't believe in their fees enough to want to stand up to defend them then?

 

Ah okay. Guess they are going to give them back to me :)

Sent them a sworn certification for the bailiff to sign, but they refused on the basis that the bailiff had not met anyone in person and given them the letter.

 

Also said I should have had the list of charges, but I haven't.

 

Had the cheek to say the account is not on hold! You have to make payments and it won't stop any further action.

Apparently they have confirmed to the court that no checks with DVLA have been carried out! BUT, been told the judge is not looking at the charges and have to do a form 8. Surely if the levy is unlawful then the charges become irrelevant? You can't say the levy was unlawful but the charges stand!
