    • Well I sent them the letter of claim, the only responses so far was a few emails reopening the claims on the parcels where they asked for information such as proof of value (which I get) but other things like photos of the parcels, which I haven't got as I never took photos of them. It's been well over the 14 days since I sent the letter now anyway, so what do you think I should do now?
    • Know it has already been answered, but? Does not explain why JCI has registered a different default date when they get the information from the original creditor, Virgin
    • Since you were stopped at the time there is no requirement for the police give you anything there and then or to send you anything before they have decided how to deal with the offence.  They have three choices: Offer you a course Offer you a fixed penalty (£100 and three points) Prosecute you in court  The only option that has a formal time limit is (3). They must begin court proceedings within six months of the date of the alleged offence. Options (1) and (2) have no time limit but since the only alternative the police have if you decline those offers is (3) they will not usually offer a course beyond three months from the date of the offence and will not usually offer a fixed penalty beyond four months from that date. This is so as to allow time for the driver to accept and comply with their offer and to give them the time to go to option (3) if he declines or ignores it.  Unless there is a good reason to do otherwise, the action they take will usually be in accordance with the National Police Chiefs' Council's guidance on speeding enforcement. In a 40mph limit this is as follows Up to 45mph - no action. Between 46mph and 53mph - offer a course Between 54mph and 65mph - offer a fixed penalty Over 65mph - prosecution in court So you can see that 54mph should see you offered a fixed penalty. Three weeks is not overly long for a fixed penalty offer to arrive. As well as that, there has been Easter in that period which will have slowed things down a bit. However, I would suggest that if it gets to about two months from the offence date and you have still heard nohing, I would contact the ticket office for the area where you were stopped to see if anything has been sent to you. Of course this raises the danger that you might be "stirring the hornets' nest". But in all honesty, if the police have decided to take no action, you jogging their memory should not really influence them. The bigger danger, IMHO, is that your fixed penalty offer may have been sent but lost and if you do not respond it will lapse. This will see the police revert to option (3) above. Whilst there is a mechanism in these circumstances  to persuade the court to sentence you at the fixed penalty level (rather than in accordance with the normal guidelines which will see a harsher penalty), it relies on them believing you when you say you did not received an offer. In any case it is aggravation you could well do without so for the sake of a phone call, I'd enquire if it was me.  I think I've answered all your questions but if I can help further just let me know. Just a tip - if you are offered a fixed penalty be sure to submit your driving licence details as instructed. I've seen lots of instances where a driver has not done this. There will be no reminder and no second chance; your £100 will be refunded and the police will prosecute you through the courts.

    • 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 again

 

While you are on, letter to send to HFO in response to the application form sent. Send recorded, do not sign, edit to suit:

 

Dear xxxxx

 

Your Ref: xxxxxx

 

I do not acknowledge any debt to your company or to any company you claim to represent.

 

A legal request for a true copy of the Consumer Credit Agreement pertaining to the account you mention was sent to your offices on xx/xx/xx. To date, the only correspondence you have supplied has been an application form; devoid of terms and conditionslink3.gif, APR, credit limit, rate of repayment and so on. Therefore until such times as you are able to supply such documention this account remains unsubstantiated, is unenforceable at law (CCA 1974 sec 127 (3)) and no payments will be forthcoming to anyone.

 

Please note that should you persist in pursuing me for an unsubstantiated debt, that your company will be reported to the relevant authorities without any further notice, including but not limited to Consumer Direct, OFT and the financial crimes branch of HM Treasury. Any court action that you may be contemplating will also be treated as unlawful and vexatious and vigourously defended on a number of grounds.

 

I trust that I have made my position abundantly clear and look forward to your written response in due course informing me whether you currently hold or have ever held a properly executed Consumer Credit Agreement (Consumer Credit Act 1974) and if not, confirmation that your files are now closed

 

Yours faithfully,

Please support CAG and they will support you.

Today i have just received a letter from hfo saying i have defaulted on my payment arrangement and i must concact them has soon as possible to void any futher charges, and any further action made against me.

 

I am not aware of any payment arrangement being set up by myself, all i can think is cccs must of made a payment arrangement with them before i told cccs to take hfo off my creditors list.

 

So just confused what to do next ! ! !

they are taking the pee. They are implying you have broken a contract, which i believe is tantamount to slander... Shame there’s not a third party involved so you could take action.
i know i am getting fed up with hfo.its been going on too long .

I know but it will be worth it in the end to get rid of this! How did you pay £15? PO is £10 plus £1 and the last recorded I sent was only £1 something? You should have had some change.

 

To cheer you up, I sent HFO £1 for a CCA request and they have sent back so much rubbish, plus the letters they sent before, their postage bill is nearly a fiver, so far :-D

Additionally, where there has been any event in my account history over this period which has required manual intervention by any member of your staff, or any other person, I require disclosure of any indication or notes which have either caused or resulted in that manual intervention, or other evidence of that manual intervention in relation to my banking business with you. to include all electronic data including e mails to and from HFO concerning my account

If you are unable to supply this data because there has been no such manual intervention, then please be so kind as to confirm this in your response

also remember in house lawers and lawers are no longer afforded any protection against lawsuits for any possible mis -demeanors, ie Unlawful Defaults in the case of Alice who is a Knowledgeable Lawer in Company Law (not) he is aware that HFO CAPITAL did not have the authority to authorise any Defaults and Experian are aware of this as it was pointed out to them starting five years ago ...... so Experian cannot be in denial i still have e mails confirming their insistance that they rely on Alice being a lawer and his word over yours ?

i think its getting close to the time where we need to prove beyond any shadow of doubt that the practices of HFO are questionable under UK LAW and we need to find out someway or another just how many charging orders they have obtained using HFO CAPITAL ?

Also caggers just read an update of my credit report and the creditors who cccs are dealing with on my credit report it says payment arrangement.

 

Hfo still says a default on my report so due to my calculation if cccs did set up a payment arrangement with them wouldnt it say that on my credit report. All it says from hfo is defaulted in august 2005 .....

 

 

 

I hate hfo i wish someone will close them down....

If the default is 2005, this will drop off in July 2011 - bye, bye. For a number of reasons it is not enforcable as we are trying to show, The credit file does not reflect reality as defaults remain for 6 years only from default date and are then removed. A debt is not statute barred if you make a payment or acknowledgment within 6 years so a creditor can still purse even if it is no longer on your credit file. If you are making payments the file should reflect this which is good but don't make payments on an account that is clearly in dispute.

Please support CAG and they will support you.
