    • retailer said they'd speak to dpd on Tuesday. I don't want to screw the retailer because they were doing me a favour by fixing it for free  I hope dpd will refund them so they don't lose out. Will keep you guys posted. 
    • Well, we live on the same road so it should be the same postcode. When I spoke to dpd and asked why were my neighbours' address not on the list and she said maybe they're not of the same postcode and I checked and they definitely were. Not to mention, delivery instructions are supposed to override actual customer's address which is why they asked for instructions I thought.
    • 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

    • 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 Guys, I’m still here!

 

In June AK acknowledged my prove it letter and advised that they would contact the OC for the documentation and placed the account on hold until it was available.

 

In July another letter received to advise they were still waiting and the account remained on hold.

 

Another one from AK today as follows - Unfortunately we have been advised by the OC that the documentation is not available at this time and we apologise for being unable to fulfil my request, at this time your account has been removed from our collections process.

 

Should their position change, they will be in touch and supply copies!

I have just been doing some tidying up of my files so posting here for my reference and just in case anyone is still subbingicon.

 

The claim was issued by Hillesdens in Dec 10 and became stayed in Feb 11, but Hillesdens did produce a signed copy of a CCA just after it was stayed.

 

All I've had since is annual statements, dated May to Nov 11, May 12 & Nov 12, May 13

 

Last paid approx May 09 so fingers crossed it gets to May 15 without anything else happening!

What is the date or event from which the six years for statute barred is measured? Is it an actual payment (assuming no arrangement agreed) or some form of contact?

 

Thanks. (And good luck!)

Hi nks22

 

My understanding is 6 years since any payment to the debtor or any written acknowledgement of the debt.

Thanks Andy, I'll try not to mix any more up!

 

I used to get really fed up when a lot of threads I subbed to were never updated by the user, hence me trying to sort mine out.

Thanks. I was just getting confused myself, adding 6 to 9 and getting 13 for some reason! I'm in a similar position to you time-wise with my last MBNA payment in July '09 although I'm still getting passed around a succession of collection agencies, currently Lucas (offering a 50% discount).

Sorry, I forgot to add that it's only 5 years if you're in Scotland.

 

I guess no one's been brave enough to issue against you nks22 and they're getting desperate if they'll take 50%!

 

I've not heard of Lucas, I suppose they could have re-invented themselves from a previous useless DCA!

 

All the best, keep your threads updated. :-)

Although this is a very old thread, I thought I would post a little update.

 

I was expecting this to become statute barred in approx May this year however it seems that when a claim is issued, the SB clock pauses and only re-starts if a claim is discontinued or of course if it proceeds to court and a ccj is granted then it goes out of the window anyhow.

 

Which means that this CC will never become SB unless I apply for a strike out.

 

I'm not too concerned about any further action, they would have a difficult job on their hands to resurrect a claim from Dec 2010 but I just thought I would post for anyone who may still have this thread in their notifications.

Hi nks, it is a bit confusing and seems to contradict itself!

 

But the way I read it is that whilst the debt is still recoverable, they cannot issue a court claim due to the limitation period.

 

If you've not had any claim issued I think you should be fine, just be wary of any last minute attempts!

 

I've not heard anything since 2013 and that was just a statement of account.

So, a little update nearly two years on!

 

This debt was purchased by PRA (formerly Aktiv Capital) and a claim was issued in August from Judge & Priestley.

 

I used a solicitor to defend it on my behalf and the claimant has discontinued.

 

I can't elaborate on how it was fought or who I used to get rid of them, due to site rules but if anyone is still subbing or comes across this old thread, just take note that they can be defeated and having a very clued up solicitor is worth it's weight in gold!

 

I've had some brilliant help here over the years on CAG but this was a debt of £9k and they'd added over £2.5k in charges so it wasn't something I was going to risk going it alone with.

I will amend your thread title to reflect the outcome.

Just a little update to complete this thread because I used to find it really frustrating when threads were left without any conclusion.

 

The default was dated 31st Dec 2009 and it has now dropped off my file! :-D
