    • Could you post up the letter, with your personal info and their reference covered up, please? It should say Letter of Claim, but let's have a look just in case. HB
    • I know dx, a lot of it was my partner and how she felt about it. I also appear to be addicted to my credit file being clean. I still worry for my partner she has too much on as it is, but I am ensuring I manage both of ours so She can forget about. i guess in terms of time I bet masses are defaulting with this economy as it is right now and high interest rates might be the only thing going for me right now. I guess  I’ll find out
    • Please see below for an extract from the letter more about my case.    You have been convicted of two matters of failing to give driver details linked to two speeding offences and been disqualified in your absence. You confirmed that you did not receive the court documentation and the first you knew about the cases was on 3/6/24. As you can make a statutory declaration it is possible that we will be able to persuade the police to accept pleas to either or both of the speeding offences as they were committed within a very short space of time and withdraw the two fail to give driver details offences as normally if you plead to one or other of the speeding or fail to give driver details the prosecution will withdraw the other related offence. If successful you would not face a totting ban. In respect of the speeding offences, it could be argued they were committed on one occasion due to the proximity of the time and location and we may be able to persuade the prosecution to drop one of the speeding offences. You are technically guilty of all the offences because you accept it was you driving when the speeding offences were committed and that you did not update your change of address with the leasing company when it was your responsibility. If the prosecution will not withdraw the two failures to give driver details offences, you will face a totting ban but will be able to put forward an exceptional hardship argument. This may or may not go ahead at the court hearing date, so we need to prepare for all eventualities. As a safeguard we have lodged the appeal and applied to suspend your ban pending appeal due to the time limit for being able to automatically appeal without getting leave of the Judge. The court have dealt with the matter very quickly and have actually listed your matter for an application to suspend the disqualification pending appeal on the above-mentioned date. We could actually use this date to make the statutory declaration in court having explained the situation to the magistrates and then see if the prosecution will agree to accept pleas to one or both of the speeding offences as a way of resolving the matter without the need for you to put forward an exceptional hardship argument. It is possible the case would need to be adjourned so that we can make those representations, or the court may want to go ahead and hear the exceptional hardship argument. The outcome of your case is always at the discretion of the Court.  
    • Hi,    I will look over your case shortly.   I am sorry for the delay.

    • 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.

Report it to your insurance company and suggest you are concerned the other party is attempting to make a fraudulent claim.

 

If his insurance company attempt to speak to you again refer them directly to your insurance company. Do not discuss it in any form with them at all.

Thanks for that what concerned me was he doesnt have my reg no and i told him at time he rolled into me therefore the law that rear shunts are the drivers automatic fault do not count this time.We did exchange details i do have his reg no tho.I have full no claims and do not intend to lose it for something i was not responsible for just because someone wants a (what looked like a carpark scartch)free repair to his bumper.

It won't come as a surprise he may have told his insurer YOU ran into him. This means if you have no witnesses (or video evidence) to prove that he did as you say, you may be disadvantaged. Was in on a hill? This will help you, but only marginally. The insurers may decide to settle knock for knock, and this will count against you.

 

Unfortunately, if they decide on this, there is not much you can do to challenge it.

HI,according to my insurance co ,if the person claiming against me doesnt have my reg no ,he cannot claim from my insurance.But they will not tell them that, until they get his claim and proceed with it ,then they will tell him cant claim.

what happens after that i dont know maybe his ins will come after me for what he claims was my fault when he rolled back into me.

Nice idea - you might have received this as an opinion from call centre staff, but my company has accepted a claim from me and successfully pursued the other driver. (I was sideswiped by a caravan bearing no VRM, it supposedly had 'fallen off').

 

I got the driver's details from the being painted on the side of his transit, but NOT the VRM as I could not see the rear one, and I wasn't going to break the speed limit by getting in front and trying to read it in the dark.

well done.but in this case i wasnt responsible i didnt hit him |(if i had he would need a new bumper as xantia estate diesels are very heavy)in your case he hit you and you deserved to be compensated for him sideswiping your transit.

Buzby was pointing out that a lack of registration details is not necessarily an end to a claim.

 

By the terms of your contract with insurance you need to ensure you inform them of this incident, to enable them to defend it if necessary. That said if there was no damage to my car and as I would be morally correct in the circumstances you describe, I would have asked his insurance WTF you talking about, nothing happened and I have never heard of your client.
