    • I see that at the start of your thread you said they hadn't sent a Letter of Claim.  And in fact in all the uploaded material there is no LoC.  This is great news.  Even were you to lose - you won't - the judge would chop off a chunk of the money for their non-respect of PAPLOC. However, I'm a bit confused as you've named the file name as a SAR.  Are you sure about this?  Did you send any other letters apart from the one dx advised which was a CPR request (not a SAR) to DCBL (not Group Nexus).  I'm not being pernickety, this will be important for your Witness Statement further down the line.
    • I didn’t say it wouldn’t. That is not the issue here. To continue driving after the licence has expired (under s88), the driver must have submitted a “qualifying application”.  An application disclosing a relevant medical condition (of which sleep apnoea is one) is not a “qualifying application”, This means the driver cannot take advantage of s88 and must wait for the DVLA to make its decision before resuming driving. The driver’s belief is irrelevant. The fact that a licence was eventually granted may mitigate the offence, but  does it does not provide a defence. But this driver didn’t meet the conditions. I explained why in my earlier post. He only meets the conditions if his application does not declare a relevant medical condition. His did. As I explained, after his birthday he did not hold a licence that could be revoked. In my view it doesn’t matter what it says. The offence is committed because his application declared a medical condition. Meanwhile his licence expired and s88 is not available to him. The GP letter would form part of the material the DVLA would use to complete their investigations. But until those enquiries are completed he could not drive. The offence does not carry points or a disqualification (because a licence could have been held by your father). It only carries a fine and the guideline is half a week’s net income. If he pleads guilty that fine will be reduced by a third. He will also pay a surcharge of 40% of that fine. But the big difference is prosecution costs: a guilty plea will see costs of about £90 ordered whilst being convicted following a trial will see costs in the region of £600.

    • 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,

 

Have just received a default notice today in the post demanding payment of the overdue amounts by 20th May. The date on the letter was 6th May and it was only delivered today? Have retained the envelope and there is no post mark on it.

 

I had only just started going through the process of CCA etc and they had responded with no agreement and the most recent T&C's

 

1. This leaves me no time to respond to them before the default date is due. What would you suggest I do

 

Cheers,

 

BB

Was the default Notice issued under section 87 Consumer Credit Act 1974 ?

 

If so, please can you post the dates on the notice.

 

However, under the latest OFT guidelines, creditors are now being advised to make debtors aware of their repayment responsibilities.

One of the ways of doing this is to send a letter stating the debtor is in default for non payment of the monthly amount due.

I forgot to add that my main issue is that in receiving it two days before the deadline, it does not allow me to respond withing a timely fashion.

 

With no postmark on the envelope as it RM Walksort or the like the only thing on the enevelope is a code of numbers and a bar code. Who's to say that the letter was sent on or around 6th May.

 

Due to me being heavily pregnant and getting ready for the impending arrival, I had not been keeping on top of this as I had hoped in that my next step would have been to SAR them as they hadn't even sent a copy of the application and I don't feel that they have anything on file at all.

 

Cheers,

Congrats on the impending new addition to the BB family.

 

Just to check - does it state that the Default Notice is issued under s87 ?

 

If it does, Keep the DN and the envelope somewhere very safe.

Hi Guys,

 

The creditor is IF/Halifax and yes it does say it is served under Section 87(1) of teh CCA 1974.

 

I had a quick scan of your link Jus and it kind of makes sense but doesn't - hormones!!

 

In baby speak, what is the best/next thing to do? They do not have a CCA, the only sent the current t&C's with my details on the top.

 

The envelope has been fished out of the bin with the addition of bake bean smears. If I contact the RM and give them the code will they be able to tell me when it was posted and why it only got to me today?

Hi, I fascinated as to why the envelope is so important!!

 

Here is the link and please feel free to PM me with the reasoning, thinking and legal argument behind it if you feel we may be giving the snoopers an upper hand!

Let me know if it prompts you for the password as the album is private and I don't know if this option does away with that.

Sorry I've only just stopped laughing from hearing the obvious contempt in your voice!:D

 

I used the term walksort off my own back as I knoew it wasn't franked or stamped and that was the only phrase I could think of at the time.

 

What is down stream access and why exactly is the notice crap?

 

Again, feel free to PM if needed.

 

A chuckling BB!

Hi Supasnooper,

 

It was under the CCA 1974.

 

The default was dated 6th May requesting payment of the arrears by 20th May and the postman delivered it today.

 

Thanks,

 

BB

 

BB, one reason the DN is defective (irrespective of the manner in which it was posted to you, and the length of time it has taken to arrive), is in those dates. The date they give you must be a date at least 14 days from the date of service, which is defined as the date of posting plus 2 days if they choose to use first class post.

Thanks Iain,

 

I am waiting for the termination notice to come through then I have a rather nice letter already printed and ready to go to them and what you state is part of that letter.

 

Thanks for that and the PM - greatly appreciated!
