    • Hi All. A family friends car was having issues when she was on a trip visiting family up north at the begining of January.  She ended up leaving it at my friends garage in the same location, who parked it on his forecourt to investigate the issue, howver he said most likely it is beyond economical repair as its a serious gearbox fault. In the meantime i replaced her car with one of my spare cars. The insurance on the car then expired in at the end of January.  When the insurance expired, I sent a paper V890 paper as i didnt have her V5 Reference number in hand to do it online (i have a copy of this).  She didnt mention she hadnt recieved any confirmation as she didnt know if she would get one.  She then cancelled her road tax at the end of March (i think) as she was paying by DD. She then was travelling up north so didnt get her ,ail until last week. She recievd a letter dated 09/04/2024 stating she had failed to insure the vehcile and there was a £100 fine which could be reduced to £50 if she respons by 11/05/2024.  As soon as we noticed, i got her to dig  out the V5 and SORN'd the vehicle.   My friend has been a bit slow in checking the fault, however i suspect it will still be scrapped and is still on his forecourt. Is this possible to appeal?
    • worthy to not forget Just to let you know this bunch Kensington have been fined £1.225m by the financial regulator for treating borrowers who were in arrears unfairly. Claim those charges back plus the interest and tell them not to add any more to the account. There are a few news stories here you can get the info for a letter to send to them. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/8615870.stm  
    • Hi All. I went to visit a family friend in Rochdale on a new housing estate opposite a old row of houses. The location is Royle Road, Postcode OL11 3PE. I was originally parked in parking bays outside the old houses, then moved the car, when I noticed my tyre was flat, so parked on what looked like double yellows to use his air pump to check and inflate the tyres before we left the house.   In the time i went inside to sort the pump and power supply i got a PCN.  The tyre then got changed (has a puncture) and we left. PCN Number:         RE######## Date:             04/05/2024 Time:             20:36 Observation:         20:34 to 20:36 Reported location:     Royle Park Road Reason:        Parked in a restricted street during prescribed hours (Code: 01) I believe this PCN is not correct and has grounds to appeal: 1. My friend who moved into the property around 6 months ago, swears that even though it has old double yellows marked, they are not current or council marked.   He said the property development company had said they had marked them for ease of access during development. 2. The road i was parked on was Royle Road.  The PCN was issued for Royle Park Road, which is about 400 yards up the road. 3. There are no sign posts or marking showing parking  restriction hours in the entire area (there maybe on Royle park Road). I have attached a map of the Location where i parked as a red dot. I have 2 questions: a.  Is there a way to check where double yellow lines are marked on some register to check if they are current? b. Can my grounds of appeal simply be, wrong location, wrong offence? Thanks in advance. Map_20240505.pdf
    • you made it very confusing, though i doubt any of it was ever read by the delivery franchise for DPD. your saving grace might well be you didn't select your own address (though if you are all the same postcode..??) and neither mentioned a safe space other than another neighbour. but with the actual delivery address on the parcel, it appears the driver had a choice of 3 addresses, all under the same post code with differing house numbers. so chose the label one but left it on your doorstep. play it carefully and along with the photo and the retailers requirement you should be ok.   dx

    • 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,

 

My name is , I took out a car with Yes Car Credit in 2004, I made a few payments to the car and I also paid a deposit of £280. I gave the car back in May 2005.

 

This where the problem comes in, They have been phoning me demanding me to pay £8995 and at the time I never had any money, They said to me pay £1000 and thats it, I said to them O.K no problem I am getting my pension money and i'll pay you.

 

A few days pass and they call again saying you are paying £5750 because you are getting a pension of £10,000, they blocked my payment from the pension company and they also sent sheriff's to my work.

 

I had no choice to say no to them, they took 57.5% of my pension.

 

I really really want the money back because I was planning a holiday because i have almost died with a blood clot but now I can't go because of Go-Debt, I worked really hard all my life just to lose my pension money in the matter of 2 minutes.

 

Can anyone help?

 

 

 

 

Thank you

have a look at the yes car credit agreement and let me know if you paid for any additional insurances, ppi etc.. they are normally found in yes agreements on the top right hand corner... reason for this is. if you have paid any deposits and they have used that to offset the insurance then that makes the whole agreement invalid and a defence in court.. would it be possible to scan/photo all of the documents you have, upload them to photobucket, edit them by removing all identifying details of yourself and posting them on here... i know that sounds a bit daunting but there are plenty of people on here who will help you every step of the way

Thank you for your help, I have all the agreements right beside me. I never went to court over this debt, never stood in front of a judge but what i believe was sheriff officers came to my work with a statutory demand for payment of debt which wasn't even stamped and they said i had three weeks to denied it but i never had chance as they took the money straight away. They also sent a email to my financial advisor, which i still have a copy.

 

i took this from the other thread it was the other message you posted

I am sorry that i can't get the agreements uploaded because i don't have a scanner at home, But i have looked at the agreement and i took out GAP INSURANCE (Guaranteed Asset Protection Insurance) and i still have the certificate.

 

Thank you again.

no rush...we will take this one day at a time.. can you tell me did they use your deposit against the GAP insurance...if it doesnt make sense dont worry just try to upload the agreement tomorrow, i will be online in evening and will have a look at it then.

can you also check with the court that there was actually a judgement given in favour of whoever took your money..by the way who was it exactly..was it a debt collection company or was it yes car?

yes hallowitch is quite correct ask them if it is your real name to remove all references to it and also ask them to change your login name which appears to be the same so you cannot be identified, they do read these forums and the less they know the better

it was go debt who took my money and the person who was working on their behalf was Sheana Campbell, Solicitor, HBJ Gateley Wareing (scotland) LLP. I don't even think they went to court to get a judgement, but when the sheriff officer came to my work they gave me a statutory demand for payment of debt which Sheana Campbell has signed on my behalf.

right in that case no ccj appears to be issued just a statutory demand, unfortunately that can no longer be an issue..you should have asked for it to be set aside at the time..but i understand it must have been frightening and worrying for you.. in that case i think we are going to have to go after them in the courts, in order to try and get back at least some of your money

just one more question this evening, on the day that you bought the vehicle from yes did the salesperson tell you that the insurance you took out was optional, or did they say that you could not get the credit unless you took out the GAP insurance?
