    • Good luck with that. Most leases don't even follow the majority of the 2002 regulations (too old) let alone the new one. The £250 cap needs to be placed in the lease through a deed of variation and good luck getting freeholders to agree to that. It's not just some magical thing that just caps it one day. Some freeholders are only reducing them through lease extensions at massive costs (essentially buying out the difference in ground rent) and if you're doing that you might as well extend on a peppercorn anyway.
    • Yeah, I would confirm that anyway, as there is a separate sheet where I have to put in those details and my insurance number and driving licence number. That is on page 2 (page one is their allegations) then page three is a statement that you weren't the driver and space to give details who was driving. Page 4 is an empty sheet for a statement to explain the situation. So I will fill out my details as the driver on page 2, admitting I was driving at the time, and then attach my statement as above as a separate sheet. That should hopefully do it at this stage

    • Seems OK, except that you must provide your details (as the driver). Include your name, address, DOB and driving licence number. This is to comply with s172 of the Road Traffic Act. Keep a copy and get a free Certificate of Posting from the Post Office.
    • Dear all, some information/advice required please.   I recently received a Further Steps Notice about a fine from 19/03/2018 which I knew nothing about. It was regarding a vehicle parked on the street without tax ( It was covered up and there because the only key to it had been stolen, I had been away from home  and I was having trouble getting a new key cut and coded to the vehicle )  I had not made a change of address to DVLA which would be why I knew nothing about the fine until receiving the final steps notice dated 29th April 2024 and giving me 10 working days to pay, although the notice did not arrive till May 9th 2024. I emailed the London Collection and Compliance Centre on May 13th 2024 asking for any information and they sent me a copy of the original fine. It is for  £390 back vehicle tax, £85 cost and £600 fine.  I now have received a Notice of Enforcement dated 7th June 2024 demanding payment ( total £1036)  or an arrangement by 6am 15th June ( tomorrow )  My question is is it tool late now to question the £600 fine part of the total amount to be paid ? That amount seems punitive.  Would making a statuary declaration regarding having no knowledge of the original court date apply ? And any other advice gratefully received. I am on Universal Credit and apparently they have already taken £177 via benefit reductions which I wasn’t aware of, but does make it seem strange that they were also unable to contact me.    Many thanks for any assistance

    • 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.

it is unsatisfactory i agree- - but you would (IMO) take the date that the creditor is stating as it is HIS demands that you are answering to ( or claiming are incorrect- as the case may be)

 

even though statute regulates, and is therefore overriding?

well as an argument in litigation i doubt it would get you anywhere

 

if the statute says you must remedy BEFORE the date stated- and the creditors DN says you must comply BY the date stated then arguing that the "regulations" put the DN a day out = when the creditor was correct- would get you absolutely nowhere

 

if the creditors own words say remedy BEFORE the date specified (which means of course the day before) and thereby invalidates the 14 clear days- then there is still no argument since the creditor and the regulations are both saying the same thing

 

in short (with respect) i think you are making a "mountain" out of a molehill with this line of argument

 

the purpose of the DN is for the creditor to leave you (the unsophisticated debtor) in do doubt as to what is required of you

 

i suggest that if a debtor then started arguing "the toss" between what the Creditor says and what the regulations say- then the judge will form the opinion that in this case the debtor was more than savvy enough not to have been left in any doubt as to what the creditor was demanding in theh DN - and was merely seeking to avoid the debt on a technicality. (IMO)

 

in other words the debtor would, i suspect have hoisted himself by his own petard

i know what you mean. am keen to get opinions on things. (although the cr statement wld then 'override' statute!)

what then iyo, if, together with this 'ambiguity', the dn also doesn't include a statement as per schedule 2 10a of the 1983 regs, and also doesn't comply with para 5b of the regs?

the more it has wrong with it the better the chance of showing it to be invalid but usually these things on their own may well be considered de minimus

 

thanks.

n.b. also s 88 1 b states that the dn must specify '..the date before which that action is to be taken.' s88 2 states cr 'shall not take action.....before the date specified...' And, s89 cca states that 'if before the date specified....'

Ok,

Received SAR information.

Load of papers with expenditure,conversations etc.

No DN enclosed although they have issued one and couple of PPI payments and £25.00 late payment fees adds upto a couple of hundred pounds.

The agreement is the same as in a previous post.

Don't really know what to do now i've had the info!

Any advice on what i need to look for and what my reponse should be.

Hi twoman,

 

Have a read through the PPI forum to see how to start a claim for that and also claim your late charges too, you can add contractual interest from the date it was charged, not that they always pay back CI, but always best to ask and see what they come back with.

 

I have a Capital 1 thread which will give you some info into claiming, it's not up to date at the moment but you should be able to get the gist of what to do.

 

DN's are not sent with a SAR as they are automated letters but it should show when it was issued on the logs.

Hi DX,

The number was witheld,unknown number that's why i answered.

 

The thing is twoman, with witheld numbers or private caller, they rely on your curiosity! DON'T let it get the better of you, if it is a genuine caller, they will leave a message and you can call back.

Hi Caggers...again,

Received this from MBNA after i requested some information missing from August 2000 to Dec 2003.

It has taken them nearly 5 months to send this letter so i guess they are re-loading to have another go at me now.

 

Any thoughts.

Hi twowoman, i have just read your thread and you mentioned 'Approvals'. MBNA have been trying to get me to take out a loan with them recently. They claim to be very close to them and the loans are unsecured. Very odd, check out my thread. In my case they cant supply a cca currently which is why i think they want me to take out a loan with a nice shiny new agreement. I might be wrong though. I can find nothing else about this approvals on the net though.
