    • That's fine.  The important thing is to show Kev you're trouble and so best to drop you like a hot potato. Invest in a 2nd class stamp tomorrow - all Kev is worth - and get a free Certificate of Posting from the post office.
    • Do not under any circumstances plead guilty until we know what we are dealing with. It's a sure way to 9 points. The tried and tested way to handle this is to plead not guilty to both charges and offer to plead guilty to speeding provided the "Fail to give information" charge is dropped. But I am concerned about this "ticket refused" sticker. I've never heard of this before. A "ticket" is not a term used in connection with speeding offences. There seems a distinct possibility that your response was received by the police but one thing worries me: I've never heard of a sticker being placed on a response and it being returned "Return to Sender". t's just not what ticket offices do. If you could post a picture of this document and the sticker it might help.  If you can show the response was received you may have a defence to the "Fail to Provide" charge (provided you completed your response properly). If the police are saying you did not respond they cannot succeed with a speeding charge (as they have no evidence you were driving). But if you did not respond, who put the sticker on the document and sent it back yo you?
    • lolerz, many thanks for your reply and correcting my big mistake, oh dear start again. They sent the section 48 along with the Form NO 6A, it was sitting on top of the paperwork, sorry about that. SO they have sent me a Form No 6A and i have received the court paperwork with the claim form and defence paperwork.

    • Hi, below is a draft of the letter Address: Hugo Martin Director of Legal and Company Secretary EVRi Parcelnet Ltd trading as Evri CAPITOL HOUSE, 1, CAPITOL CLOSE LEEDS LS27 0WH REQUEST OF CONTRACTS      Dear Sir/Madam, I am writing in regards to the ongoing small claims case ____. In your Defendant’s response you make reference to a pre-existing commercial agreement between yourselves and Packlink (2.7). In that, you claim to have a clause removing customers third party rights under the Contract (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999. I would like to request a copy of this contract and confirmation of the date on which the exclusion of third party rights term was included in it. If you refuse to provide this then I will be henceforth referring to that refusal in the claim, including to the Judge. I also notice that you have destroyed tracking information due to "lapse of time" in line with your data protection policy (2.12). Can you share where this data protection policy is disclosed to customers? I also ask you to forward you a copy of that data protectiono policy, and again if you refuse to provide this then I will be henceforth referring to that refusal in the claim, including to the Judge. Kind regards,

    • 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.

Dear Miss ****

 

Our Reference:

Further to our previous letter dated 22nd April 2009, we have still to complete our investigation as we are waiting for further information from our client/vendor.

Hi Delta-Charlie

 

No action required - wait for 22 June & see what (if anything) you receive.

Any knowledge I possess or advice I proffer is based solely on my experiences in the University of Life. Please make your own assessment of legality, risks & costs before taking any action.

I have had exactly the same type of letter from Equidebt, even though they have already written to me confirming that they do not have a CA, hence the account is unenforcable.

 

Just wait and see as foolishgirl says.

Nice little update for you:

 

I think someone has been very naughty:

 

My better half recieved a letter from Advantis Credit Ltd for this alledged debt to Ikano, to recap on 15/3/09 we send Equidebt a CCA request, on 18/4/09 we send EquiDebt Account in disput letter to which we recieved letter on 22/4/09 (see post above), then another letter 19/5/09 which said they were still looking for the CCA & still making their investigations & waiting on instructions from client/vendor, now today we recieve this letter from Advantis Credit Ltd which I will re-type as we have no scanner :-(

 

Dear Miss ******

 

We are acting on behalf of above named client who have passed your debt to us for collection.

 

This debt must now been paid to us in full immediatley.

 

Call us now on the Advantis Priority Telephone Line 0845 402 2686 where our advisors are waiting to take your payment. Alternatively, you may pay using one of the methods detailed on the reverse of this letter.

 

Please quote your Advantis Reference in all communication.

 

If we do not hear from you within 14 days from the date of this letter we may commence legal action to recover this debt.

*****************************************************

 

Do you think a little bemused letter to these parasites would be the answer?

 

And what nice letter could I write to Equidebt or Ikano?

 

One last thing, the missus took a call on the landline from these people, didn't last long, 3 words from her two of which are unrepeatable on here.:eek:

UPDATE:

 

Sent the bemused letter to Advantis on 6th June, got a reply from this company today in response:

 

*****************************************************

Dear miss ****

 

We write in reference to your letter dated 6th June 2009, regarding an outstanding balance due to our client, Ikano.

 

I acknowledge from your letter that this balance is in dispute, however until we recieve your letter, we were unaware of this. Unfortunately, as we act on behalf of our client and under their instruction, we are unable to refer this account back to the previous collections agency.

 

Please forward any details of this disput and I will endeavour to investigate this further on your behalf. I will place this account on hold to suspend any further action for 28 days to allow sufficient time for us to recieve this information.

 

Finally, I recognise your request to deal with this in letter only therefor I have removed your details from our standard contact campaign.

 

Yours Sincerely

 

Claire Bithell

Complaints Administrator

Advantis Credit Ltd

Yes I have been down the same route. Sent the bemused letter to Advantis - they then sent the "we dont know what your talking about letter", sent them a copy of original in dispute letter, a few days later I got "we are closing our file" letter.

 

BTW Ikano is either Principles or Ikea unless someone else knows more companies involved.

Thank you for you letter dated xx/xx/2009

 

Please find enclosed:

 

Copy of original CCA request sent to Equidebt

I trust this makes things clearer.

Wait for the next bunch of Muppets to appear.

You could try a very strongly worded complaint to the CHIef Executive of the Original Creditor Threatening all sorts if they pass the DISPUTED account on again. Copy the letter to the OFT. Even better email it and CC it to the OFT.

UDATE:

 

OH had a letter from Advantis this morning, bear in mind we sent them the bemused letter a few weeks ago, this is what is in todays letter:

 

******************************************************

Dated: 23rd July 2009

 

Dear Miss ****

 

REMINDER

 

We appreciate that you may be experiencing financial difficulties at this time however it is important that you contact us to help resolve this matter. If you are unable to repay the balance in full immediately we strongly advise that you call us now on 0845 ******* where one of our specialist account managers will be able to discuss your repayment options with you.

 

Failure to contact us within 10 days from the date of this letter will result in further debt recovery action being undertaken. This may increase the outstanding debt and may affect your ability to obtain credit in the future. This action may include:

 

> Your account being passed to our legal partners to commence legal action to recover this debt.

 

> An agent being instructed to visit your premises to collect the debt personally.

 

If you believe that you may not be liable for this outstanding amount it is important that you contact us immediately.

 

Yours Sincerely

 

*******************************************************

 

Not very bright are these muppets? Considering this alleged debt is in serious dispute with equidebt.

 

Question: What would be the best letter to send these cretins now?

Have already sent the bemuses letter as stated earlier, any help appreciated.

I know, I've seen many DCA letters with lots of mays/coulds/mights etc, I am a little concerned about this one as this account is in dispute with EquiDebt & has been for a while now, I'm just surprised, that after the bemused letter they are still stupid enough to try & collect, first of all I/We don't want any of their threat mo.......sorry field agents calling at our premises (unlikely I know), secondly would a little word if OFTs ear do any good & also a good stiff letter telling them in no uncertain terms of whats what, at the moment I think the effort in writing to them may be worth it if it gets them to go & crawl back under their stone.

UPDATE:

 

We sent a letter to Advantis on Monday basically refering them to the Bemused Letter we sent them dated June 6th, we enclosed a copy for their reference, had a letter back this morning, this is what is in it:

 

**********************************************************

 

Date: 29th Jluy 2009

 

Dear Miss ****

 

THank you for your letter sent recorded delivery, recieved on the 29th July.

 

We understand that you are currently in dispute with Equidebt Ltd, however we write to inform you that this account has now been passed to ourselves at Advantis Credit Ltd.

 

We are able to request a copy of the agreement from IKANO on your behalf, however we must inform you that there may be upto a £10 charge for this document.

 

If you do require this further documentation please send make a cheque for this amount, made payable to ourselves at Advantis Credit, and we will be happy to request this document.

 

If you have any further queries please do not hesitate to contact us on 0845 ** ** ***

 

Yours Sincerely

 

**********************************************************

 

Firstly what are they thinking off? Are they really that stupid?

Secondly £10 for a CCA request? Think not, haven't even asked them for SAR request yet.

Thirdly, who the hell are they trying to kid, write them a cheque for £10.:evil::evil::evil:. I bet the cheque for £10 would be put against this so-called debt. If they think they are getting a cheque for £10 out of my Missus they can take a hike......! Rant over.

 

Any help would very appreciated. DC:-?

Personally, having sent them the bemused letter, I wouldn't communicate directly with them any more. Instead I think you should complain to Trading Standards and the OFT.

 

Maybe these idiot DCAs are in some kind of competition with each other to see just how many rules and regulations they can break :rolleyes::mad:

Good luck HS with Equidebt Ltd. I doubt you will get anything back except 'we are still waiting for documents...etc' and ' .....passing account back....etc'

 

At the moment we are banging our heads against the wall with this saga with Equidebt & advantis, all correspondence is being sent off to the Office of Fair Trading in the morning as I have another complaint which OFT contacted me over regarding HFO, so I asked if I could make a compalint about these idiots too, my contact told me that would not be a problem.

ANOTHER UPDATE:

 

OH had yet another letter from these idiots at Advantis, the letter contained the following:

 

**********************************************************

Dear Miss ******

LETTER BEFORE ACTION

 

Unless payment is made within ten days of the date of this letter an agent may be instructed to collect the debt personally or legal proceedings for the recovery thereof may be commenced without further notice.

 

This may result in the issue of a County Court Claim or if resident in Scotland a Sheriff's Court Writ against you. Should this prove necessary we will seek all fixed costs and fees together with statutory interest on the outstanding balances.

 

In the event that a County Court Judgement (CCJ) is obtained it will be recorded on the Register of Judgements, Orders and Fines, or if a Sheriff's Decress is obtained details of the decree will be passed by the Courts to The Registry Trust. The obtaining of a CCJ or a decree may seriously affect your ability to secure credit in the future.

 

If a judgement or decree remains unsatisfied a Bailiff or Sheriff Officer may be instructed to recover assets from you to discharge the 'New Balance' of your debt or we may apply to your employer for an Attachment of Earnings or we may apply for a Charging Order against your property, if owned by you.

 

If you dispute liability for this debt please state your reasons in writing and supply documents in support of your defence to any claim. If you fail to notify us of any potential dispute prior to the issue of preedings and you subsequently file a defence we reserve the right to show this letter to the Court.

 

To prevent further action being taken call Advantis now on 0845 *** ****.

 

Your Sincerely

 

Advantis Credit.
