    • 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 concenquences 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?
    • 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?
    • "as I have no tools available to merge documents, unless you can suggest any free ones that will perform offline merges without watermarking" (which you don't) ... but ok please upload the documents and we'll go from there
    • Please go back and read my message posted at 10:27 this morning @jk2054. I didn't say that I wasn't going to provide documents, only that I will upload them to an online repo that I am in control of, and that I would share links to these. You shall still be able to read and download them no different from if they were hosted here. And, the issue I have is not so much with hosting, but using an online pdf editor to create a multi-page pdf, again I have discussed this that same message.

    • 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,

 

Here's a summary of where i'm at with this one. Had a credit card with Virgin Money. After financial probs last year we wrote to all of our creditors in early February 09 with I&E forecast and an offer of reduced payment based on same. Had offered all of our creditors a pro rata amount based on this. Sent 1st payment and have paid it EVERY month by standing order ever since.

 

Letter from MBNA dated 17th Feb 09 - Thank you for your I&E, please contact us to discuss.

 

Letter 2 from MBNA dated 17th Feb 09 - Restriction placed on your account, please cut up your cards and return them to us. As from today, no further transactions will be authorised.

 

Phoned MBNA 24th February - They said they could not accept my offer of payment as they had to conduct their affairs according to US law as they were a US owned company. Said I had to pay 4 times the amount that I had offered to meet their rules - I said bog off.

 

Letter from AEGIS dated 20th March 09 - letter demanding the arrears, must pay straight away!

 

Letter from AEGIS dated 1st April 09 - MBNA had instructed them to contact me urgently, pay the arrears or your credit file will suffer etc etc.

 

Letter from MBNA 2nd April 09 - Payment shown on statement not recieved, pay the arrears or else etc etc.

 

Letter from MBNA dated 16th April in answer to my I&E letter sent in February - "We received your application for reduced repayments and talked to you in February about this. You offered to pay us £xx.xx however the information you gave showed that you had no disposable income so could not make this payment. We therefore could not come to an agreement or set up a reduced payment plan. As your I&E details were incorrect we request you review your financial statement and provide us with an offer of repayment that is supported by your I&E. Please cal etc etc." I did call and it turned out that they'd put the wrong figures into their computer!! My figures were correct - told them to bog off!

 

Letter from AEGIS 19th April 09 - another demand to pay the arrears and bring my account up to date.

 

Letter from MBNA 20th April - "your decision not to pay your arrears of £xxx.xx has forced MBNA to withdraw your credit line and inform the CRAs of the arrears.

 

Letter from AEGIS 24th April - again demanding the arrears.

 

Letter from MBNA 17th May 09 - POTENTIAL COMMENCEMENT OF LEGAL PROCEEDINGS telling me to contact their offices within 7 days so they can set a reduced payment plan. Followed by lots of threats of CCJ, attachment of earnings, Bailiffs or a charge on my property.

 

Letter from MBNA dated 25th May 09 - IMPORTANT DEFAULT NOTIFICATION - now saying the restiction on my account does not have to be permanent - just pay the arrears and agree a payment plan and we'll be all hunky dory again :rolleyes:

 

Letter from MBNA dated 22nd July 09 - IMPORTANT DEFAULT NOTIFICATION (again) - this time threatening DCAs.

 

Letter from MBNA dated 10th August 09 - " We are now considering our next step to recover your outstanding debt". Now talking about a reduced payment plan or partial settlement.

 

Letter from MBNA 24th Sept - Giving me one last chance to partially settle with a reduced lump sum payment.

 

9th October 09, received 12th October - DEFAULT NOTICE - gives until 26th October to remedy the breach by paying the full outstanding balance.

 

Apart from these letters these people have probably phoned almost every day since February, sometimes 2 or 3 times a day! Regardless of the fact that i told them that i would communicate in writing only. They seem to be worse than some of the DCAs

 

So, where do I go from here? Any advice gratefully received. Thank you.

Unfortunately this is how MBNA plod along.

 

You could write to them again stating your case for reduced poayments and remind them of their obligations as defined by the OFT debt collection guidelines.

 

BTW, have you kept the envelope that the latest Default Notice came in ?

If it's in the bin, then get it out.

Rubbish they are bound by English law.

9th October is a Friday, so service deemed 13th if by first class or 15th if sent uk mail which is usual. So this is defective. Wait for termination.

 

Apart from these letters these people have probably phoned almost every day since February, sometimes 2 or 3 times a day! Regardless of the fact that i told them that i would communicate in writing only. They seem to be worse than some of the DCAs

 

Send them the template letter, in writing only please.

Have you requested a copy of your agreement yet. If not I would send a CCA request.

Thank you for your help. Will send the CCA request tonight. TY

One last question before \i begin. I'm pretty sure i've read on other threads that a CCA request must be sent to a particular address or department for each bank. What would that address be for an MBNA credit card? or is there a link on the site that gives the addresses.

 

thanks M

So here's my letter from Experto Credite.

 

http://i983.photobucket.com/albums/ae316/slinkymary50/expertucredite231009.jpg

 

It claims that my debt has been bought by Varde Investments (Ireland) Limited.

 

Sent my SAR off to MBNA last week so not sure what happens with that now. Is there a letter I can send to these people now or do I just wait for the reply from MBNA?

MBNA are still duty bound to provide all the data as requested in your Subject Access Request.

 

Send Experto Credite a Credit Card Agreement request to the address at the bottom of their letter.

 

Thanks SS. Will do

Hi M&M,

just read your thread, amazing similar to mine (as you said on my thread).

 

Out of interest the date on the Varde letter was it before the default was up?

 

MB*A are a piece of work, if its any consolation I have heard nothing from credite Exponential or whatever they call themselves since the one letter last month.

 

Don't worry your with friends here.:)
