    • retailer said they'd speak to dpd on Tuesday. I don't want to screw the retailer because they were doing me a favour by fixing it for free  I hope dpd will refund them so they don't lose out. Will keep you guys posted. 
    • Well, we live on the same road so it should be the same postcode. When I spoke to dpd and asked why were my neighbours' address not on the list and she said maybe they're not of the same postcode and I checked and they definitely were. Not to mention, delivery instructions are supposed to override actual customer's address which is why they asked for instructions I thought.
    • again a quick google search states Appeal a DVLA fine - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk) i would not be appealing mind. it's only a summary charge which they rarely do court on and pass out the powerless DCA's whom are not bailiffs they have 6mts. see where they go. as you've sorn'd it will probably be nulled. dx  
    • There are a number of reasons why you may not have been issued a notice in the post within 14 days. If you were stopped by the police it may have been given verbally. In the case of speeding offences, the police may issue you with a conditional offer of a fixed penalty of 3 points and £100.00 fine by post or an offer of a speed awareness course. If the offence is considered too serious for a speed awareness course or fixed penalty you may be charged with an offence which normally occurs by way of the issue of a Single Justice Procedure Notice. If the vehicle within which the alleged offence took place was registered to another person or company there is technically no need for a notice to be issued to the driver. After the police have obtained details of the nominated the driver, they will normally send the notice to them, although there are no time limits within which they must do so (provided that the notice was received within 14 days by the registered keeper of the vehicle). In such circumstances, a person may receive a notice several months after the alleged offence too place but still be prosecuted. A Guide to a Notice of Intended Prosecution | Motoring Offence Lawyers the above copy n paste link has purely been copy n pasted here to inform you of the regs, which you could have done yourself by, as this is, a google search......... we do not ever recommend using such offered webservices! dont 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.

you'll have trouble with hfc wriggling anyway on charges/fees & PPI

but if you've got the agreement [which you have]

then as they've been fined £1.8M in the past for PPI mis-selling and to my knowledge been warned twice since about the same thing they were fined for - they'll cough once the

fos get ahold of it.

 

as for the fees - they'll go for SB'ed, but again i'd put in a claim too.

 

adds to your case of just how poor hfc are at customer fleecing.

 

just as a point of order, when if at all might you have disputed what you owed or when you might have first questioned their actions on the a/c?

ok letes slow down here and back track a bit....

 

 

thats a letter from the adj [ it is NOT legally binding on HFC]

 

did you reply and accept it?

 

let the FOS deal with getting the money out of HFC

 

you are only entitled to the refund of the PPI PCM premiums YOU ACTUALLY PAID + 8% state interest from the date of each PPI PCM payment to the date of your claim

 

let the FOS calc it.

 

i would NOT go anywhere near court

 

that would be slapping the adj in the face.

They have already ignored the adjudicator decision.

 

 

 

I only realised that they were added onto the account last year when I received a batch of the paperwork. I had forgotten all about this account to be honest owing to some intervening mental health issues/moving house/marriage/degree studies/kids.

 

So I think s.32 of the Limitations Act covers this part as I could only have been aware of a cause of action once I had received the docs. The FOS complaint went in soon after.

 

 

 

I first wrote to HFC on 18 May 2010 via an SAR... I had been previously contacted by AK in 2009 but I was far too ill to be dealing with them. They threatened court in 2010, I denied liability and requested the usual evidence. They spent a long time trying to get it. So I went the SAR route.

 

I received the SAR within the 40 day time frame. Spent some time going through it. Discovered it was SB first. Found the PPI issues later on. I had paid quite a considerable amount in premiums and due to their attitude on the phone and the harassment from AK I wrote to the FOS regarding their behaviour. The FOS sent out a PPI claim form and I filled it in.

 

This is where we are now. The FOS Adjudicator found in my favour. HFC refuse to comply. It's now been passed to an Ombudsman.

 

ok wait for the omb to reply then .. you should not go anywhere near the court.

 

as for the charges reclaim

sadly you dont stand a chance !

it all boils down to hfc and their total disregard to any care for the customer

in the last 30yrs HFC have treated customers as easily fleeced cash cows.

the FOS fined them - so what they are saying - we'll still not payup until its gone all the way through the fos process to the ombudsman - then its legally binding and they must cough

they still delay/confuse/wriggle laugh whatever at how they got away with earning £M's out of customers

 

if you go the court route, IMHO you are slapping the FOS in the face and not adding to the ever growing pile of evidence to help them fine HFC again.

 

terrible company terrible.

If you don't mind giving some advice please

 

I opened a thread regarding PPI and the set off issue

 

My situation is have original copies of a couple of CCA with PPI added from years ago and paid them up in full. have them stamped so.

 

But have another loan with a balance outstanding with same company to which I have lost the original agreement from about 2002/3 I think and I have sent for a CCA request to check out the PPI to see if it will cover my o/standing balance. don't think it will but they state that they have not got the original agreement AND ARE NOT PLAYING BALL.

 

Therefore my question is if I stopped paying the o/standing balance on my current loan due to no CCA and put it into dispute, if I then claimed for MY PPI on the agreements that I have the originals of from years ago, could they still set off the PPI against my outstanding loan if it was in dispute due to no CCA.

 

Any thoughts please

 

HFC didn't with me

 

i've had 4 lots from them on old loans, none were offset against the current.

 

the only time they offset was PPI on the current loan, then they took the arrears ONLY.
