    • Thank goodness it's not your roof and you get to foot the bill! How big are these bits of mortar? How often are they falling into your garden? Hourly, daily? Just go ahead with your plans, of course, they're not going to be worried by your time pressures and the urgency of the situation, so simply carry on as you would have done and I'm sure everything will go fine. Unless there is a danger to life and serious structural issues which mean you cannot venture into your garden, then IMHO there is little more you can do less for what you have done so already and made them aware of the issue.
    • Hi all!   Thank you in advance for any help you can give me!!    I parked up (at 18:08) in a rush, entered my Reg and paid for an hour of parking. At 18:20 I got a ticket for not paying for parking.    I've just looked at my receipt and noticed why ... I put "22" instead of "21"  when i put in my Reg. yes... what a stupid mistake.    I seem to remember there being a court case or a rule change about entering the wrong reg but the company wasn't at a loss because i had paid for the parking just technically for the wrong car. Am i making that up?    Any advice would be gratefully received, even some key points i have to hit when doing the appeal      
    • You haven't returned to the thread to give us your views, but a couple of other things strike me which you should consider: 1. You say that at no time was your father's licence revoked by the DVLA. It didn't have to be revoked. It expired in September and his "entitlement to drive" (of which the licence provides proof) expired along with it. He could only continue driving whilst his application was being processed by virtue of s88, and it seems clear to me (based on what you have said) that he was not able to take advantage of the benefits provided by that section. 2. The letter he received threatening to revoke his licence was probably a template letter sent when any medical issues are brought to the attention of the DVLA. But it is clear that beyond September until it was eventually renewed, your father had no valid licence to be revoked. I believe a "not guilty" plea in court will fail. The basic facts are that your father's licence expired in September, it was not renewed until February because the DVLA were looking into his medical declaration and he could not take advantage of s88. So in December he had no licence and no entitlement to drive under s88. The facts that he believed he was fit to drive and that his licence was eventually renewed may mitigate the offence but they do not provide a defence. I also asked whether he had received a summons (very unusual these days) or whether he had received a "Single Justice Procedure Notice". The way to proceed from here differs slightly depending on what he has received so if you let me know, I'll advise further.  
    • Well, what I've read from various sources suggest if a CCJ is 6 years old that if becomes pretty much ineffective for enforcement purposes in its original form.  And that if it's about to expire then the claimant needs to apply to the court to extend the original CCJ within the final year.  Even if they do apply for an extension within the 6 years they have to have a very strong argument for doing so such as the person being out of the country or could not be traced, basically show they were actively still perusing the debt I guess. Now if a claimant ever does apply within the 6 years to extend the CCJ, would the person named on if be notified by the court that such an application has been made?.  In my case I've heard nothing from the court so assume no such application has been made.  The original CCJ in my own case is now a year beyond the 6 years of issue so must now make things even less likely again. So whilst the CCJ exists that they have not enforced it in that time must surely make it unlikely they can now take it back to court because as said it would be very rare for a judge to agree to such action now. That said, I guess they now can't use the CCJ to continue with any action for an attachment order to our mortgage either?

    • 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.

I took some advice from here recently and sent Triton a CCA request last week on 3rd June

 

I've now had their response dated 8th June (Royal Mail Tracking not showing it as delivered!! ) saying its been forwarded to RBS who will contact me in due course and that they trust it clarifies the matter.

 

Co-incidently I received a letter from them dated 3rd June saying that there is a payment review due - I currently have a debt management plan (set up by me) and am paying them £15 per month. Basically they say they want to up the payments to a level to clear the balance and to contact them by telephone, if I dont further action will be taken to get full balance, interest (currently frozen) and costs.

 

What shall I do next, who was responsible to provide CCA and do they now get longer for refering to RBS, or can I send a dispute letter now and to whom?

 

thanks everyone

Wait until a CCA is supplied.

 

I think you can ignore that letter of theirs, they shouldn't be writing to youanyway (they know it but are relying on you not knowing it) during a CCA request. If they have passed it to RBS then I think you can safely ignore any letters from them until one has been provided.

(Royal Mail Tracking not showing it as delivered!! )

Happens, sometimes, usually to a PO box; however there is a way to get confirmation which won't always show online. I will keep that for later, though, as obviously they got your letter in order to reply to it. If you paid by postal order it is also possible to obtain confirmation if it's been cashed but I don't have the phone numbers to hand (googling might reveal them as they are on CAG somewhere and/or MSE).

Basically they say they want to up the payments to a level to clear the balance and to contact them by telephone, if I dont further action will be taken to get full balance, interest (currently frozen) and costs.

Oh, no ... they can't They cannot demand you make higher payments. It's what you can afford to pay not what they dictate you must/can. It's covered in the OFT guidelines somewhere as well on this very thing.

 

In other words Triton is just trying it on. But without a CCA they can do nothing anyway.

 

if I dont further action will be taken to get full balance, interest (currently frozen) and costs.

Do they say 'will' or just 'if/may?'

 

Unsure about the dispute letter because the 12+2 working days haven't elapsed so would be sent after that had elapsed. Others will know more.

 

Crossed post.

Does that make a differecnt to anything ie timings for letters etc?

 

To clarify

 

their letter asking for increased payment stated 'may' not will take further action

 

the CCA request was delivered on 7th June

 

so 12th working day is 22nd June (assuming 7th counts as day 1) so if nothing by then send letter above - does it go to Triton or RBS now they've forwarded

 

can someone clarify please

the date to send the default letter is coming up and I just want to be sure about the letter to send do I refer to Triton as you (as in creditor/rbs) or your client Im confused as to who is in default Triton or RBS

 

I assume that Saturday arent classed as working days is that right, so given they Triton got the letter on 7th the 14th working day is 22nd so if I dont get my cca on tuesday I can go with the dispute letter? DO I date it 22nd or 23rd

 

cheers

In these sort of circumstances (i.e. where in-house debt-collectors are involved e.g RBS/Triton) I usually address them as "your so-called client".

 

Not a big deal, but it gives them a clue that you know the score. ;)

 

Cheers

Not sure if anyone on CAG has already posted this before, but I've just noticed how remarkably similar the word Triton is to 'Try-it-on', which is exactly what they seem to do most of the time!

 

Cheers

They didnt provide the cca so I sent the default notice last Wed shall I stop the payments I've been making, currently £15 per month or drop them to a token amount of £1 for the time being??

 

What happens next, if the dont respond in the 14 days ?

Yes STOP the payments, even at £1 a month this only encourages them not to comply with your request.

Who ever heard of someone getting a job at the Jobcentre? The unemployed are sent there as penance for their sins, not to help them find work!

They will just carry on exactly the same

 

The most that will happen is that there will be 6 month gaps with nothing happening in case you have gone to the financial ombudsman.

 

They want to maximise their income so they will bully you to attempt to make you increase your payments. They want you to phone so that they can do that more easily and so that there is no record of what has been said.

 

Triton are part of NatWest

 

NatWest are very poor at providing real copies of Credit Agreements that are very old.

 

It is up to you how you continue making payments

 

I would be adding up any penalty charges & the interest charged on them so as not to overpay them in any event

I've now got the CCA with T&Cs which bits should I post up

 

There are also what appears to be a letter used when sending a replacement card with T&Cs attched

 

I assume as it no longer in dispute that I should commence payments again
