    • and it will be also now written off under age related criteria anyway.
    • DX: Thanks for this! I'm still not clear if I'm facing more than 6 points on my license though. Can you explain any further please? When I accept the 2nd speeding ticket, will they just charge me £100 and 3 points, or will they be more severe consequences since that offense took place the following day of the 1st offense? Similarly, when I accept the 3rd offense, will they look at my record or just charge me with the £100 fine and 3 points? @Man in the middleI've been searching the forum and you seem very knowledgeable. Would you mind giving a look at my query please? Thanks in advance!!
    • Yes of course. That's why it says cc:: BIg Motoring World at the bottom. Don't imagine that this solves the issue. It doesn't. He not have to force the finance company and big motoring world to accept the rejection to give your money back. I suggest that you get the letter off tomorrow. And let us know what you hear but on Friday you should then send a threat to the finance company.   Have a look what I have said here about your options and read the whole thread as well.  
    • Been perusing the actual figures on the polls above wondering where the '16% claimed for deform comes from? I understand that there are 'weighted' end results based on secret calculations ...   Probably going to repeat this later, but remember that the ukip/brexit/reform/deform party has ALWAYS had poll speculation FAR better than their actual  performance at elections - by large margins. SO: The labor and Tory votes come largely from simply the people who say they will vote for them - sorted Lab 43% Tory 20%, with maybe another small 1-2% coming from the weightings of the 'not sures' Greens largely get what is declared from 'other' , although with another declared green bit from the 'pressed' question   So as the share of the voting displayed in 'other' granted to reform/deform is around 11%, where does the '16% too often being reported come from? Seems that reform has been granted as beneficiary of effectively ALL the don't knows and wont says, who when pressed didn't actually declare for someone else ... effectively adding 40%+ to their reported polling % - rather strange given their consistent under-performance compared to polling - or perhaps that is the cause of the higher rating eh?   Now I admit the possibility (probability?) of wingers being ashamed of declaring their support for the yuckey lemon end of the spectrum ... but surely  that should affect the 'Torys as well? Maybe the statisticians have simply weighted in that deform wingers are simply more likely to lie?   But - without 'weightings' and assumptions that faragits will get everything that isnt declared as a definite and unequivocal 'not that Piers Morgan' - reform is on around 11% it seems.   Add to that the history of polling a lot less than the hype - and the simple fact that faragit wingers seem to be spread across the country (presumably skulking in their moms spare room despite being 45+) and greens and lib dems seem to be community minded - I think two seats will be an epic result for farage. Hardly the opposition - far more raving wingnut party.   and importantly - Has farage got a home in clacton yet?

    • 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 all

This is my problem.

 

I worked for a mailorder company for 25 years but had to go on the sick as I need major heart sugery.

 

They were not prepared to wait to see if I got better

they waited 6 months, finished me,

 

Now in my leaving interview I was told that any money I owed the company,

ie staff account work wear ect would be deducted from my final settlement which was a crap £3000 for 25 years service....

 

Now I was very poorly at the time (pre op) and just took the cheque and waited for my op, which I had,

 

But 6 months later I recieved a letter from Cap quest saying I owed £528.00 outstanding from my staff account?

 

I rang up Cap Quest explained the situ they told me to put it in writing which I did

 

I had a phone call saying I still owed I then sent a letter template off this site which statas they have 12 days in which reply about credit agreements 1974 act ect..

 

. 10 days later I recieved a letter saying no futher action and they were going to leave it.

 

A couple of months later I got another from another company saying the same thing

I followed exactly the same procedure with them and it came back they would take no further action??

 

Now 2 weeks ago I got a letter from Fredrick international whos website say they stand for no messing and they will take you to court?? a bit scary,

 

The letter said I had to pay £528.00 they are very rude on the phone, not taking no for an answer?

 

I got another letter 7 days later saying the debt had gone upto 623.00, if I dont pay in 5 worrking days.

 

Ive sent the template letter of to them with an explanation of the situation, recorded delivery which they've sign for,

 

But they still keep ringing I just dont answer now because its to stressful..

 

Why does it keep happening??

 

the thing is I lost my house because I lost my job, and my in recovery I had to moved out

All my letters from my old company git binned.

.. as I thought this is the last id heard of them.

. but im wondering whens it going to end??

 

Im now on benifits so dont have no money to give them anyway plus the address

Im at is only lodging and the landlady is getting a bit p/off with the phone calls...

 

. So do I just sit tight will they send anyone to the house to remove her furniture?

 

Oh ive send a letter off to my old company to ask them to leave me alone as theyve done enough to me as it is! I will see what happens with that.. sorry for the waffle....

 

 

regards Darren

Contact your old company immediately and ask what is going on... somewhere they have slipped up and you shouldn't be hassled by the likes of Fredricksons (who are scumbags of the 1st degree). DONT phone Fredricksons again as their so called 'call centre operatives' are hopeless and only want money from you (I have reason to believe they are paid the legal minimum wage per hour and the rest is hefty commission).

 

If your old company won't play ball report them to Trading Standards - its rather shoddy practice to do what they did and Trading Standards should be able to help, as should your local MP.

Good advice from SG....I would also send this to Fredriksons too (recorded)....as once you have a dispute (which you have as they have failed to provide a copy of your agreement) then they cannot pass on the debt whilst it is disputed !! - http://www.consumerforums.com/resources/templates-library/86-debt-collectors/574-letter-when-account-has-been-passed-on-whilst-agreement-request-is-in-dispute

I was in a union but its company rules and need of the business!! I worked in a small department as well so I did understand.. There was 3 per shift so it was run very tightly. Id just rather sort this problem then move on the other two debt companies were quite reasonable but its just these are very bad mannered and wont take no for an answer.... idiots.

Hi

I put a post on last month about a DCA letter I recieved from Fredrickson international. Basically I worked for a mail order company for 23 years fell on ill health, they finished me (on ill health) gave me my final pay out minus deductions ie/ staff account and a few other things I must have owed..... but 12 months after they finished me I recieved a letter from Cap quest saying I owed the compant £528.00 for my staff account because they forgot to take it off my final payment... I explained to C/Quest the situ, and sent a cca template off this site and C/Quest said no further action reqiured. Then 6 months later I got another request from another DCA company I followed the same procedure and got the same result.. 6 months later on I get another off Fredrickson international but a lot more abrupt and demanding and endless phone calls 3 times a day... anyway I sent the same letter a CCA I think its called. the credit agreement one. explaining the situ, I sent this on 27/09/2009 recorded. It was sign for on the 28/09/2009 I recieved a letter from them today 10/10/2009 saying they refered the matter to there clients the account is on hold and theywill get intouch as soon as they recieve the info.. This is the same sort of letter I recieved from the other 2 companies, So what would be my next step???

 

Thanks for all your help Daz

Hi,

You didn't need to CCA anyone else after the first one.

 

All these companies are in each others back pockets and when one fails they just pass it on to another muppet.

 

In future, when you get one of these leeches, send them this:

 

http://www.consumerforums.com/resources/templates-library/86-debt-collectors/574-letter-when-account-has-been-passed-on-whilst-agreement-request-is-in-dispute

 

Don't bother signing, just print your name and send it recorded delivery

 

Report them all to the OFT

Thanks for your reply.. Now I recieved this letter saying the account is on hold. What do I do next? Do I just send them this letter youve posted??? Or wait to hear from them??

Chances are they are going to follow on from the previous DCA's and stop contacting you but if they do try it on, send the letter and keep copies for when this debt goes on the DCA merry-go-round.

Just wait for them to write back. Don't hold your breath though.

Ok this is my 3rd thread on this matter and thanks for all the advice.

Basically I worked for a mail order company for 23 years they finished me on ill health, closied my staff account, I was told after all deductions were made for my staff account workware ect.. what was left was my final cheque

But 12 months later I recieved a letter from dca saying I owed the company 528.00 for my staff account which I contested, sent the credit agreement request which they failed to supply and the account was passed back to there clients...then 3 months later I recieved another from a dca requesting the same so I did the same thing and got the same result.. then 3 months later fredrickson international got in touch so I did the same again with the credit agreement request and I got a letter last week saying they had written to there client requesting the said info that was 4 weeks ago...

But in the mean time acting on advice. Id written to my old company asking for a little compassion as Id work for them for 23 years and could they write the debt off as I work very hard for them plus Im still unemployed ect............

I got a letter back today from my old company saying they would reduce the debt from 528.00 to 354.00 as a good will gesture and I can pay it at 10.00 a month?? Now Im confused as what to do because its now a principal thing or am I being silly ??? how would I reply to this in writing because as you can see from my thread im not that good at explaining my self haha

 

Thanks very much Darren

update... I mentioned that I contacted my old company asking them to right off the debt as a good wiill gesture but replied and said I could pay it back 10.00 a month as a good will gesture!!! and they would reduce the amount from 528.00 to 354.00

Ive now recieved a letter from them with the heading "reliable collections limited" for a out standing debt of 474.00 instead of 354.00 with a payment slip for 10.00

This is what my old company send out as I worked in the print division and I used to print and send them... so what shall I do pay it or fight it as Ive not agreed to do anything..... Still confused

Well Ive still not heard a bean from fredrickson international... I dont know if it was a mistake writing to my old company as its opened a whole new can of worms as theyde already sold the debt on??

The thing is this was a staff account? so does the cca letter still apply to my old company?? because what im thinking is if this is the case then the thousands of employee with staff accounts could take the same cause of action? Is that right....
