    • Hello I hope someone can give me some advice here, as I am at a bit of a loss on how to proceed. This relates to alleged offences under the RTA. Yesterday I received a notification from the local police of intention to prosecute for the following offences: 1 driving without due care and attention 2 failing to stop at a road traffic accident 3 failing to report a road traffic accident At this stage they have only asked me to say whether I was the driver at the time or not and provided a blank sheet of paper to give information about the incident. Going by the location (just round the corner from where I live) I can only imagine this relating to one recent incident, which wasn't actually an accident but more of a road rage event. I was driving past someone unloading or working next to his lorry which had stopped in the road. I wasn't going fast or anything, while I went by lorry man turned around and punched and kicked my car whilst going past him. I stopped and got out and wanted to know what he thought he was doing punching and kicking my car. He then hurled some verbal abuse at me, swearing and he was quite aggressive. I still didn't know what his problem was and said I would report him to his company for threatening behaviour and vandalism for punching my car. I got my phone and tried to take a photo of his lorry and number plate but at that moment he came right at me, still shouting and swearing, so I was worried he may hit me next, as he already punched my car. I thought if the guy hits me I will come off second best, so I decided to retreat. I quickly got back into my car and left. When I checked my phone later the photo I tried to take was blurred and useless, so I thought it was pointless to report the incident to the police, as the guy would not be traceable. Over that I forgot about it until I got the letter yesterday in the post. This is the only thing I believe this can relate to, but I have no idea based on what the three above allegations come from There was no road traffic accident, more of a road rage incident. So I am at a loss what to do. I have 28 days to respond. Should I just say yes I was the driver and was there and see what happens next, or should I already make a written statement on the attached piece of paper they sent me and send that with it ? Is there anyone here who would have a rough idea what to do next ? I tried my legal advice line through my Union, but they have sent me from pillar to post, now say it needs to go to a different department again and that would be chargeable as the RTA comes under Criminal Law. So any advice would be appreciated Many Thanks
    • So a quick update got bounced around two different departments and managed to speak to a DVLA bod , explained the situation and they could see the overlap and that DD payments had been made from Feb , also no formal remiders prior , they gave me a number for the legal dept who I am calling this morning to see what they can do in terms of the SJP notice , still have time to submit this online.  Will update after my chat this morning 
    • Also, I am trying to understand how invoicing a large sum in a 6m period becomes tax fraud?   Is it because if he had invoiced over the £85k threshold he should have been obligated to charge vat?  Which would have meant hmrc would have benefited from the vat amount? So by not charging it Hmrc have lost out on £s revenue?  Is that what makes it tax fraud? So as a self-employed contractor, let's say he invoiced one Co for 200k.  Should he have charged vat on the full 200k (£40k)? Or just on the sum above the threshold (£23k)?  And that by not charging vat, he has knowingly withheld tax £s from Hmrc? And is the payer complicit ?

    • 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.
