      Car insurance liability when your private car damages property owned by a company.

      By Pal1408 · Posted

      Thank you Ethel, their letter was literally one line, with an added bonus of a typo..... "As you own the land that the property was damaged on we would not be able to dela with that aspect of the claim.", so I think it may be the initial fob off. I have replied just stating "This is not correct, the fence is owned by XYZ ltd, please clarify?", but will follow it up with a letter from the company. will let you know how I get on x

      DVLA Cannot show my driving license information

      By anonymous1975 · Posted

      About a year ago i was summonsed to court for a speeding offence, long story short it wasn't me that was driving the vehicle, and i successfully proved that i had not received any paperwork (the reason it went to a summons) because there is a problem with our address, i live at number 7, yet when you look online to enter our address for anything you have 7, 5-7 and 7-9 on our street, one is my address and two are businesses.  The court ruled that there was an issue, and agreed i did not receive any paperwork (aside from me not being the driver)  i thought it odd that i never received anything in the post to say that, but they are the courts i assumed everything would be in order. Now just recently i have been using family members vehicles to get to work and have been insuring the vehicles on a temporary basis. Recently when using a comparison website i would get results and then when i went to make payment it would not let me advance, i had tried this on numerous sites and the same happened, i assumed that it would have been because i have used to many temporary insurances and it may have flagged for whatever reason. i went to check my license online, and i cant view it, it states below, i called the DVLA and they can not view any details either and have said they will need to raise a case internally to find out what has happened.  My wife and brother seem to think that the courts have screwed up not informed the DVLA of anything, hence i was banned. But surely it wouldn't have taken so long for me to stop being able to insure my vehicle on a temporary basis until just now?? Please can anyone assist as im worried sick now and ive done absolutely nothing wrong, i need my license for my job. ....................

    • Big Motoring World Enfield /Blackhorse - done over on car - @BigMotoringWrld

      ATJ posted a topic in Vehicle retailers and manufacturers,

      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

    • Post in Suing a parcel delivery company when you don't have a direct contract with them – third-party rights Copy of judgment available

      BankFodder posted a post in a topic,

      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.

Just bounced over here from the main Advent thread. Dont know if this is of any help but i'm paying direct debit to BPF and I got my account put on hold as soon as Advent went under. I requested a letter confirming that this was the case.

 

Before I got that though I got a letter saying I had missed payments, demanding monies etc. I phoned em up straight away and they told me that it was basically a clerical error as those letters are sent out automatically and that my account being on hold was an exceptional case which has to be administered by hand. Basically told me to ignore the demand letter. I asked for that to be put in writing which they have actually done and included in that letter was the confirmation of my account being on hold.

Don't hold your breath.

 

If they have issued a written demand that will stand on the record. They will have no recollection of phone conversations.

On xxxxx you informed me my account was on hold, however now you have issued an arrears letter which will in fact be reflected on my credit file.

The letter is dated xxxxxxx

 

As there is NO service being provided and account is on hold the Direct Debit was cancelled on your instruction. xxxxxx

 

You are aware of your responsibility under the Data Protection Act to ensure that information reported to the CRA's is accurate and if not so, gives cause of action for damages if shown not to be the case.

 

In light of your previous letter I insist that you withdraw the arrears notice and modify the data the data that you are reporting.

 

Please confirm by return that you have done so.

 

Yours faithfully

 

 

Just put your dates in the x's

 

 

Hi Bluedo,

Just to let you know I have posted the letter to BPF today and I'll let you know if I get a reply. Thanks once again.;)

Hi there. Sorry I was probably not clear, and this is not to defend BPF in any way but I have actually received a letter from them telling me I can ignore the written demand for late payment and that it was sent out in error/automatically/unneccesarily/etc.

Hi Boosh,

No problem Haven't got nothing back from them yet, they've not been smart at answering these letters and they don't refer to anything I've written before.

but within 5 days had slapped a charge on for unpaid DD, Quick enough to do that :-x

 

It was actually Cashins who worded that letter and helped me with it this site's been a godsend don't know where I'd have been without it. :D

Hi Bluedo

 

I understand that martin has been very busy, he has also been very quiet, if you have more contact with him than the rest of us then the question on how he is getting on would be very helpful. I have had a letter from BPF after the FO got in contact with them, but they are using a cardiff address, I've been sending all my mail to the Glasgow address, do you know what that is all about?

In March they shut the Glasgow office and moved it to Cardiff but you'll notice it's a PO Box number in Glasgow well that mail will probably be redirected to Cardiff.

If you make sure anything you send is recorded delivery then they'll not be able to deny receiving it.and you can track it.

I've sent a message see if we can get some advice here.

It's tough enough without getting payment demands on top that's more stress it's a nightmare

Hi

 

I was and Advent student, I took out a loan with Barclays Partner Finance and started paying straight away. I started my course in October 08, but put it on hold in November 09 due to a family bereavement and I have not as yet passed any exams.

 

I paid my loan off (after changing my financial situation) in August 09, so I do not currently make payments to Barclays, but have paid them just less than £6000 for training.

 

After everything that has happened, and after assessing Computeach, both before I chose to study with Advent, and again now, I do not wish to continue my training. I am now £6000 out of pocket, which is a huge amount of money to me.

 

Do you have any advice for me considering that I have already paid Barclays in full?

 

I have called Barclays and asked if I can cancel and have my money back twice. The first time I was told that if I did not wish to continue after I had been given the option of studying with someone else, that I would be eligible for compensation, however the second time I called, I was told that there was no way I would get my money back. I have not yet written to Barclays, or responded to the Computeach letter.

 

Help would be greatly appreciated.

 

Many Thanks

With regards to Barclays Partner Finance has anyone ever succeeded in achieving refunds?

 

On this site - no.

 

There have been reports on other sites but they appear to be just that - reports.
