I then wrote to all my creditor's with pro rata offers of payments but debt collectors took over the accounts.
    • Just an update for all. I received about a letter every other week, increasing in threat levels. Then I hadn't had one for a about two weeks, then Saturday received a carbon copy of the very first letter they sent me in February. Made me laugh, rinse and repeat. 
    • So, your response was not received by the SCP as you did not send it with a valid stamp. Therefore, from my two option in post #14, the first option is the only one available to you, but you do not have the option of asking to be sentenced at the fixed penalty level as the reason the SCP did not receive your response was down to you. Here's a reminder of what to do: Respond to the SJPN by pleading “Not Guilty” to both charges. In the “Reasons for pleading Not Guilty” box state that you are willing to plead guilty to the speeding charge providing, and only providing, the “Fail to Provide Driver's Details" (FtP) charge is dropped. This is a tried and tested method to deal with your problem and is almost always successful. Before the pandemic it was necessary to attend court to do this "deal" because it needs the agreement of the police prosecutor.. During the pandemic courts made every effort to have as few  people as possible attend and they began doing this deal under the "Single Justice" procedure without the defendant's attendance. Some courts have carried this procedure on whilst others have reverted to a personal attendance being necessary. If you are required to attend, your case will be taken out of the SJ procedure and you will be given a date for a hearing in the normal Magistrates' Court. If that is the way they do it in the area involved you will have to attend, see the prosecutor and offer your "deal" in person.

    • 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 Faded-Rose, just popped in to give you some support.

Ell-enn is the best! (you too Jansus)

I can't give the sort of advise that they do, but if you want any moral support let me know. I've BTDT and it's a very difficult time leading up to the hearing, even knowing that the outcome should be favourable- it's hard to deal with.

Hi Nunnyrose

 

Thank you so much for this. Ell-enn and Jansus have been superb. Really feel supported. Posted everything off now so out of our hands until next week. It feels that everything in between now and then will be affected but trying to stay positive. Will be pleased when the day comes and we have a decision.

 

How lovely of you to post this. A superb site and so lucky to find it.

Hi Ell-enn, Jansus and Nunnyrose

 

The Form N11M plus enc was delivered to the Court on the 2nd Dec and I have a printed off 'receipt'.

 

I have typed a brief note based upon corrections to the Witness Statement they have sent a copy of - hoping I can just give the Judge and them a copy to read rather than read it myself!

 

This time tomorrow it'll all be over.

 

A big thank you again for the assistance, advice and support shown. Really grateful.

Hi Faded Rose, stay positive - you will be OK.

 

If you haven't been to a court hearing before, here a few tips to help you:

 

You should arrive at the court in plenty of time (allow for finding parking etc). When you get there, ask the court usher if there are any free legal reps there (a lot of courts have them) - if so, approach them and ask for their advice, they can accompany you into the hearing and speak for you.

 

Sometimes the lender's legal rep will ask to speak to you, if at any time you feel intimidated or uneasy, just tell them that you would rather wait for the judge to decide.

 

The hearing will be held in a private room with just the judge, the lender's rep and yourself. It will be conducted around a table, like a meeting and the public are not allowed in. It is much more informal than you'd imagine.

 

As this is the lender's application, the judge will speak to them first and then you. Judges are usually very good at recognising when you are nervous and will guide you. When you speak to the judge you should address as Sir or Madam, explain that you are very nervous and ask if you may hand over your notes. If you have the benefit of the free legal rep then they will speak for you.

 

The whole process should take no more than 10 minutes and I'm sure you will feel very relieved when you leave the court knowing your home is safe.

 

Good luck, I will be thinking of you :)

 

Ellx

With you all the way Faded Rose, not an easy day tomorrow but as Ell-enn says, stay calm and positive - I was so nervous I could hardly speak, but the judge did recognise this and did all he could to help us.

This time tomorrow you'll be sitting back with a big glass of wine,- I'll probably join you :)

Hi Ell-enn, Jansus, Nunnyrose and CitizenB

 

Wasn't able to log on yesterday due to broadband probs (again!). The outcome of the Hearing was a suspended repo (as requested by the lender). So very happy with that. It was a strange experience - 2 mins and we were out. Judge wouldn't let us speak, nor give typed notes and the 'locallish' person representing the legal firm was quite unpleasant but over now.......

 

A really BIG thank you for everything. We will donate and I will keep being a cagger-not because I can offer any advice but hopefully I can give others the support I have had the benefit of.

 

Faded-rose :) :)

 

PS Did manage a rather large glass of wine last night!

Great news :)

It's not a nice experience, but as you say, it's over now.

I found the day after our hearing, not only were we more relaxed, but the whole house seemed to have relaxed if that makes sense. It was a very strange, but calming feeling. It took me a few days to shake off a fuzzy sort of feeling. I suppose it's a bit like the build up to christmas in reverse - you don't look forward to the big day, but the after effects are fantastic!
