    • I doubt HMCTS holds any data on whether arrests by AEAs required police assistance.  They couldn't or wouldn't provide data on how many of warrants issued were successfully executed - just the number issued!  In my experience, arrest warrants whether with or without bail are [surprisingly] carried out with little or no fuss.  I think it's about how you treat people - a little respect and courtesy goes a long way. If you treat people badly they will react the same way. Occasions when police are called to assist are not common and, having undertaken or managed many thousands of these over the years, I can only recall a handful of occasions when police assistance was necessary. On one occasion, many years ago, I arrested and transported a man from Hampshire to Bristol prison on a committal warrant. It was just me and he was no problem. I didn't know the Bristol area (pre Sat Nav) and he was kind enough to provide directions - seems he knew the prison.  One young chap on another committal warrant jumped out of his back window and I had to chase him across several garden fences.  When he gave up (we were both knackered) I agreed to drive by his girlfriend's house to say farewell for a while.  I gave them a few moments and he was fine. The most difficult are breach warrants but mainly in locating the defendant as they don't want to go back to prison - can't blame them.  These were always dealt with by the police until the Access to Justice Act transferred responsibility from them to the magistrates' courts. The fact was the police did not actively pursue them and generally only executed them when they arrested someone for something else and found they had a breach warrant outstanding.  Hence the transfer of responsibility.
    • thats down to mcol making that option available for you to select, you cant force it. typically if there are known processing delays at northants bulk it will be atleast 14 days later if not more.
    • Thanks   Noting the day to apply for default judgement if necessary
    • nope, as the display model was not the colour the customer wanted. but your question is totally immaterial anyway as custom built doesn't come into it. dx
    • as long as aos is done by day 19 from the date on the claimform they get a total of 33 days to file a defence. (whereby the date top right on the claimform is ONE in the 33 day count) dx

    • 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.

Hi all i am in desperate need for hlp with this issue, i have not sorned my classic fiesta for 4 years, i did however sorn it when i first bought it back in 2005. (yep stupid me but i didnt know until today that i had to do it every year, I have not heard anything from dvla with regards to fines/court action, im now scared that if i sorn it online i will receive a massive fine and have to pay the tax back for the last 5 years.

 

the car has been on my drive since the day i bought it, its actually on bricks with no interior and the engine is in bits.

 

i can take pics to prove its in bits and even get statements from neibours to prove its not moved.

 

please please help me, i asked a traffic officer but they didnt know the ruling around this but said to start gathering info i.e pics and statements to prove its been unroadworthy all this time.

 

look forward to your assistance

please don't hit Quote...just type we know what we said earlier..

DCA's view debtors as suckers, marks and mugs

NO DCA has ANY legal powers whatsoever on ANY debt no matter what it's Type

and they

are NOT and can NEVER  be BAILIFFS. even if a debt has been to court..

If everyone stopped blindly paying DCA's Tomorrow, their industry would collapse overnight...

Why not send a short letter, saying you've spotted online it is not showing as SORN? Add that the car has still not been restored so will they please ensure the vehicle retains it's SORN status until the restoration is complete?

First thing to do is take off the number plates and cover up the VIN if it is visible from the outside. This prevents NCP or other robbers from Identifying the car and if they cannot identify it they cannot remove it. Then set about sorting out the mess.

Many years ago, in an earlier life, I recall someone being prosecuted for being in charge of a motor vehicle. It was a moped he had been pedaling and the engine was inoperative - parts missing. He successfully got off as the Magistrates said without a working engine it was not a motor vehicle.

 

I know the Law is a bad looser and adapts to losing by changing the rules, but I wonder if there is any relevance here.

tbh i would be inclined to just sorn it online as of now and to keep it up, if they realise there has been a gap deal with it then but for now i wouldnt worry as the dvla are so useless it could go either way

Well Well thanks for all your input, here is the situation, i sent an email to dvla asking them what they want me to do!!!! i explained that i havent taxed or sorned in 4 years and they said i needed to write a letter to preston enforcment officer in preston lol.

 

In my letter i said first of all accept my apologies and explained that i havent sorned in 4 years but could prove the vehicle has been basically on bricks since i sorned it 4 years ago, i was thinking oh my god they are gonna come down heavy on me, BUT and its a fantastic BUT, they sent me a letter back stating there will be no fines or any action against me, just send in a sorn form at the earliest convienience lol woo hoo, just thought i would let you all know.
