    • Well I sent them the letter of claim, the only responses so far was a few emails reopening the claims on the parcels where they asked for information such as proof of value (which I get) but other things like photos of the parcels, which I haven't got as I never took photos of them. It's been well over the 14 days since I sent the letter now anyway, so what do you think I should do now?
    • Know it has already been answered, but? Does not explain why JCI has registered a different default date when they get the information from the original creditor, Virgin
    • Since you were stopped at the time there is no requirement for the police give you anything there and then or to send you anything before they have decided how to deal with the offence.  They have three choices: Offer you a course Offer you a fixed penalty (£100 and three points) Prosecute you in court  The only option that has a formal time limit is (3). They must begin court proceedings within six months of the date of the alleged offence. Options (1) and (2) have no time limit but since the only alternative the police have if you decline those offers is (3) they will not usually offer a course beyond three months from the date of the offence and will not usually offer a fixed penalty beyond four months from that date. This is so as to allow time for the driver to accept and comply with their offer and to give them the time to go to option (3) if he declines or ignores it.  Unless there is a good reason to do otherwise, the action they take will usually be in accordance with the National Police Chiefs' Council's guidance on speeding enforcement. In a 40mph limit this is as follows Up to 45mph - no action. Between 46mph and 53mph - offer a course Between 54mph and 65mph - offer a fixed penalty Over 65mph - prosecution in court So you can see that 54mph should see you offered a fixed penalty. Three weeks is not overly long for a fixed penalty offer to arrive. As well as that, there has been Easter in that period which will have slowed things down a bit. However, I would suggest that if it gets to about two months from the offence date and you have still heard nohing, I would contact the ticket office for the area where you were stopped to see if anything has been sent to you. Of course this raises the danger that you might be "stirring the hornets' nest". But in all honesty, if the police have decided to take no action, you jogging their memory should not really influence them. The bigger danger, IMHO, is that your fixed penalty offer may have been sent but lost and if you do not respond it will lapse. This will see the police revert to option (3) above. Whilst there is a mechanism in these circumstances  to persuade the court to sentence you at the fixed penalty level (rather than in accordance with the normal guidelines which will see a harsher penalty), it relies on them believing you when you say you did not received an offer. In any case it is aggravation you could well do without so for the sake of a phone call, I'd enquire if it was me.  I think I've answered all your questions but if I can help further just let me know. Just a tip - if you are offered a fixed penalty be sure to submit your driving licence details as instructed. I've seen lots of instances where a driver has not done this. There will be no reminder and no second chance; your £100 will be refunded and the police will prosecute you through the courts.

    • 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.

i have an agreement with the reference number yeah,but what they sent me through on my subject access request was not the car it belongs to,with an outstanding balance

 

the car it belongs to is an astra,the one they sent through is a mondeo,to which i have never owned,i do have the agreement,well an amended one,cus i couldnt afford the repayments,so they redone the loand,and lowered the payments,does all that make sense?

Sorry I am a bit confused..

 

The agreement that is mentioned on the claim form..... is that the one you have paid in full, or is it the one for the car you never bought and therefore never borrowed the money...

the agreement on the claim form is the one i have settled,when they redone the loan,there was a balance outstanding which they should have added to the new amount,then when i finally finished paying it,it should have all been settled

now from what i can see,they sent me through a copy of an agreement for a car i applied for (the mondeo)and have put that against the outstanding from the one i settled,so it looks like i owe on that car,the one i never owned.any clearer?

IF I understand it correctly you have finished paying for the agreement mentioned in the claim and you have confirmation of that on your Sar... does the 'agreement' for the Mondeo have a different ref number to the one on the claim form ?

I got a letter saying

subject access request account number 77*2*7,please find enclosed your agreement and statement of account held by welcome financial services ltd in relation to account number 77*2*7.Now the agreement is for the mondeo,which i never bought,and it says 2000 outstanding.

 

now agreement 77*2*7 actually belongs to a different car,the astra which i did purchase,and finished paying for

I think basically, as there is so much confusion over welcomes paperwork you would do well to defend the claim saying that you paid the loan in full and then it's up to them to prove you haven't.. It's certainly a mess!!

 

At least you've got confirmation from DVLA that you never owned the car they are refering to.

 

When you received your loan from welcome how was it actually paid to you? Did you get a cheque to pay into your bank or a bank transfer or did they pay the seller on your behalf?

i went to a garage,chose i car i wanted,they filled out the paperwork,faxed it to welcome,along with my details,wage slips etc,then welcome agreed it,and they paid the garage direct,so i basically pay welcome back,so until it was cleared it was there car

Right... so as long as you can prove you didn't buythe mondeo then they haven't got a leg to stand on... and you have proof from the DVLA..

 

You will have to apply for the Judgement to be set aside by using an n244 form. It will cost you £75 but you should get that back assuming you eventually win the case..

 

Heres a link you may find helpful.. If you prove you have paid the loan in full the court MUST set the judgement aside.

Yes... write to the address the DVLA gave you.. get the confirmation that you have never owned the car they are refering to.

 

Once you have that you can fill in the N244 and enclose a copy of that confirmation to prove you have no debt to Welcome...

 

Just get back to us once you've got that confirmation and I'll help you fill out the set aside form... when it's filled out it has to go to the court that entered the judgement against you... that should be on your CCJ.

Hi Smiffer,

 

This link should take you straight to an n244 form.

 

http://www.hmcourts-service.gov.uk/courtfinder/forms/n244_e.pdf

 

If you fill it in on line you will need to print it immediately as it will not save. Otherwise just print off a copy and fill in manually.

 

Part 3 you need to fill in with...

 

I respectfully request that the court set aside the default judgement given against me as

a) I did not receive or acknowledge the claim form, and

 

b) The loan this claim relates to was for a vehicle that was not purchased by me and therefore the monies claimed were never owed. Therefore I believe I can successfully defend this claim.

 

This application is made under CPR 13.2 (a) (b) and CPR 13. 3

 

4. No

 

5. At a hearing.

 

6,7,8,9, leave blank

 

10. tick the evidence set out in the box below.

 

In 2002 I received a loan from Welcome finance in respect of vehicle XXX XXX. The loan was rewritten in 2003 to reflect a new payment arrangement. this loan was paid in full in 2005/6... copy of proof attached.

 

In xxxx considered buying vehicle XXX XXX and arranged a loan with welcome Finance but then decided against it and did not finalise the arrangement. No money was recived by me and the vehicle this claim relates to has never been purchased or owned by me Copy of letter from DVLC attached.

 

This is what I have so far... I hope Andyorch will have a quick look to check that I have used correct CPR's.

 

Obviously you will have to fill in the correct dates, vehicle numbers etc.

 

I'll be back,

Hi Smiffer,

 

If you can hold on for a while that would be good... the relevant CPR needs to be checked because it's a bit of an unusual case and I'm not sure if you should ask for the set aside under 13.2 or 13.3.. one is where the debt has already been paid and the other is where the judgement is given by default and you have a good defence... Andy will probably be able to advise on this but I'm not sure if he's around cos he's had problems with his PC.

 

I'll see if there's anyone else around in the meantime.

 

Also, the cost of the set aside is £75 (unlesss you are eligible for concesssion) but you should get that back when you win the case.

Hi Smiffer,

 

Andy has suggested to use either CPR so what I have done is to put both just for good measure... If the judge doesn't agree with one he has the other option... as Litigant in person you shouldn't be expected to know everything ;).. Hopefully it will be set aside without too much trouble but if necessary you should now at least get the chance to defend yourself.
