    • do a chargeback to your bank if temu want it back then they'll write and ask for it. 9/10 they dont bother. dx
    • No reminders are required by law. As a result of that, whether the police say they sent one or not, whether they actually did so or not and whether you received it or not has no bearing on the matter whatsoever.  I have explained what to do in the third paragraph of my post #22. You don't need to do any more than that. The most likely outcome is that your offer (to plead guilty to speeding if the FtP charge is dropped) will be accepted by the prosecutor. What happens next is for the court to decide. This "deal" is done every day in courts up and down the land and all court users (prosecutors, Magistrates and their legal advisors) are familiar with it.  Although I said you could not ask to be sentenced at the fixed penalty level, that was incorrect. There is nothing to stop you asking (and if you do, you should mention it under "Mitigation" when you fill in your return). You can mention the circumstances you were in when you returned the request for driver's details and suggest that is why the error with the stamp may have occurred.  My feeling, however, is that your request will be denied. If it is, you will face sentencing under the normal guidelines. These suggest a fine of half a week's net income (reduced by a third for your guilty plea.- so one third of a week's income). You will also be ordered to pay a "Victim Surcharge" of 40% of the fine and prosecution costs of around £90. You will also have three points imposed on your driving record. You may be lucky and encounter a kindly Magistrate who settles on the fixed penalty equivalent or you may see something in between (with perhaps the prosecution costs left off). But the worst case is as in the previous paragraph. There's no need to fret too much over this. The important thing is to make sure you plead not guilty to both charges and make it absolutely clear that you will plead guilty to speeding only if the other charge is dropped.
    • The problem that I'm having is with Temu. I ordered a cat tree (£152.98) that I want to send back as it's too small for them/not as advertised/flimsy. I would never have paid that amount if I'd known what poor quality/ how small it was. I have contacted Temu about this numerous times, they did get back to me once but they didn't actually help me with their response. I tried to get in touch again but the emails only ran one way so I couldn't get back to them and tell them that they haven't answered me correctly on how to get the cat tree sent back to them. I have attached the emails correspondence into this post. Thank you in advance for the help and support.    Temu email.pdf
    • Stu007. Many thanks for your reply. They have supplied all the necessary documents so it looks like everything is above board.  Many thanks for the link, once again everything seems above board.  I have received a second claim form today as it says the one they sent me did not refer to my tenancy. Ill look at the details later   I have filled out the defence form, took pics, i will redact it later and post the pdf.

    • 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.

Wescot might be on there cause i received an email a while back from someone working for channel 4.

Dear jed2004,

I'm a journalist with Hardcash Productions working on a programme for Channel 4 on debt collection. I was interested to read about the correspondence you've been getting recently from Wescot.

I'd like to hear more about it for my research.

Could we have a chat?

You can call me or send me an email with a good time to reach you.

Hope to hear from you soon.

Best,

Caroline

Hi Beachie..glad you're back :)

My first one didn't go on yesterday so I did another this morning which went on OK....if at first you don't succeed...:)

 

I'd be interested to know how many new members we've had since CAG was first mentioned by Mr Ton :D

 

To Suziwong..very well done honey and let those hormones rage..there's nothing as formidable as a pregnant woman on a mission! You're a star :)

Look forward to watching tonight but I fear that the collective response from the DCA's will be DILLIGAF. I bet the other cretins OFT/TS/IC will all be watching University Challenge as none of this has anything to do with them anyway. Todders!

never seen a thread with so many viewers, even if a lot of them are guests, must be the DCA chimps tea party time

 

I think the ACS:law thread holds the record ;-) Its just so easy to connect from google if your searching on the keywords.....

 

As to this program, I do so hope all are hopes of this expose arent going to be dashed.. I want this to show *exactly* what goes on and the fact that supervisors and hopefully above can be shown to sanction what goes on inside a DCA, its no good if it just shows some threat monkey spouting rubbish, it has to be seen that management sanction these practices.

Hi all

 

I have been following this thread this morning but not logged in so may have shown as a guest. Apologies all round.

 

Had what I thought was a funny one with Marlin a while ago.

 

They were chasing me for a debt they had just acquired and asked me for my address to post me the hullo letter. I split my sides. What chance that they had a copy of the agreement or anything else? Unbeleivable. I refused and they said they would add £120 to the bill to fund a skip trace. I said it was their hard disk and what they recorded on it was up to them. About ten days later they found the address as I got the letter.

 

Have to say though that I have had no trouble from them since.

 

BTW. There is nothing more beautiful in this world than an expectant mum.

Tried last night to post a comment about how a debt agency threatened to call social services on me stating I was a bad parent for being in debt and that they wouldnt do so if I paid them more.

 

Didnt get posted. I notice a lot of those condemming people for getting into debt are appearing, after I posted mine, but not many comments about the extent that the dca's can go to.
