    • Thank you Ethel, their letter was literally one line, with an added bonus of a typo..... "As you own the land that the property was damaged on we would not be able to dela with that aspect of the claim.", so I think it may be the initial fob off. I have replied just stating "This is not correct, the fence is owned by XYZ ltd, please clarify?", but will follow it up with a letter from the company. will let you know how I get on x
    • Ok about a year ago i was summonsed to court for a speeding offence, long story short it wasn't me that was driving the vehicle, and i successfully proved that i had not received any paperwork (the reason it went to a summons) because there is a problem with our address, i live at number 7, yet when you look online to enter our address for anything you have 7, 5-7 and 7-9 on our street, one is my address and two are businesses.  The court ruled that there was an issue, and agreed i did not receive any paperwork (aside from me not being the driver) anyway i thought it odd that i never received anything in the post to say that, but they are the courts so i assumed everything would be in order. Now just recently i have been using family members vehicles to get to work and have been insuring the vehicles on a temporary basis. Recently when using a comparison website i would get results and then when i went to make payment it would not let me advance, i had tried this on numerous sites and the same happened, i assumed that it would have been because i have used to many temporary insurances and it may have flagged for whatever reason. So i went to check my license online, and i cant view it, it states below, i called the DVLA and they can not view any details either and have said they will need to raise a case internally to find out what has happened.  My wife and brother seem to think that the courts have screwed up not informed the DVLA of anything, hence i was banned. But surely it wouldn't have taken so long for me to stop being able to insure my vehicle on a temporary basis until just now?? Please can anyone assist as im worried sick now and ive done absolutely nothing wrong, i need my license for my job. It has not been possible to display/match your driving licence.

    • 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.

Hello again big S,

 

I am awaiting on another Halifax account which is closed, they acknowledged the claim on the 4th August, but I have not heard anything. I asked for the money to be paid by cheque. I know they have my joint account details though.

 

Has anyone else been in this position, do they pay by cheque in the post?

 

Look forward to any replies.

 

Best regards

 

P.S have you phoned them regarding the claim?

They have settled on my second account (letter recieved today) but they were going to pay this into the closed account. I phoned up this morning and they stated that the money would of been paid into that account and would of been in suspense as the account is closed. I gave them my active account number and they said it would be paid into that and that they would send me a letter to confirm this.

 

No money in the account yet though.

 

Best regards

I know lol. Maybe its the fact my surname at start of alphabet lol.

 

Have just cancelled my VISA debit card in case any b*ggers try to take money from it, and ordered a new cheque book which they refused to send me whilst I was overdrawn so I could use my cheque guarantee card very naughtily (well you can hardly blame me as Halifax were the only reason I WAS overdrawn in the first place hehe). Am just about to check my account again to make sure they haven't nicked it back LOL

Hello again,

 

If I was you, I would phone the Halifax up (this is what I did) give them your reference number (should be on any letter from the Halifax Customer relations team, its not your account number) ask when the money is going to be credited, then state that you need to advise the Court to stop proceedings, as they (the Halifax) have done so, and you need to see the money credited to do this.

 

Its worth a try, don't sound desperate on the phone, just calm and calculated, as if you do this everyday. I did not mention the words refunds or cash etc, just stated that I am expecting a credit/funds to be deposited in my account (I did not mention the amount, the gent I spoke to today and yesterday [Nigel] stated that the amount is broken down and can be credited as 3 funds, i.e the refund of charges, the interest asked for and the Court fee)

 

So give it a go tomorrow, or it might be credited overnight, who knows.

 

Try this number for Customer Relations: 01422 333880

 

and see how you get on.

 

Best regards:)
