    • ive already CAREFULLY explained how it all works earlier. what you will have to pay is already preset and detailed on the court forms/TfL stuff you already have. you wont be asked any questions upon your financial means etc. thats not under debate . you wont be asked upon any mitigating circumstances, you have pleaded guity which you always SHOULD.  the ONLY 2 reasons you are attending is to: 1) after finding the TfL prosecutor... plead directly face to face before you go in to try and get an OOC (you can bring up or say anything/everything you like ...anything that might get them to agree) 2) if 1 fails...show your genuine remorse face to face to the magistrate, BRIEFLY mention how a criminal record would hinder your future then hope they take pity on you and dont also record this on your file.  PS its only declarable/shows there for one year anyway. regardless to what an employer might ask in job questionnaires past 1yrs you forget about it. they cannot see it even on enhanced DBS etc etc. you should not latterly ever appeal a criminal record for this type (1yrs)  of 'offence' its not worth it and if you lose said appeal it will cost your dear in terms of additional wages grabbing and court fees. and extends the time it shows if you lose too. dx

    • FTMDave - your cold light of day suspicions are correct, alas. Just had this back... Thank you for your email. I was very sorry to learn that you recently received a parking charge notice after shopping at our Kearsley Manchester Rd Express store. I appreciate this is always frustrating, especially as you'd just nipped in for the one item. I've had a look, and I can confirm that in this case the car park at this store is entirely owned by a third party - it is not owned or operated by Tesco in any way. The parking charge issued is on behalf of that third party, although I appreciate it does state Tesco on the letter. Regrettably as the car park is owned and operated by a separate company we don't have any form of influence or control over the parking charges issued. In this case, I can only recommend that you follow the appeals process outlined on the letter directly to take the matter up with UKPPO directly. I'm sorry that I cannot offer further help in this case.  Please do not hesitate to contact me again should you require anything further.  Kind regards Ewan Kelly Customer Service Specialist On behalf of the Chief Executive’s Office

    • 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 everyone

 

One or two of you may remember i had my house repossessed by Swift and i sent a subject Access Request to them. Initially they replied with about a tenth of the info i had requested so i wrote back asking for the rest of it. The 40 days are now up and i haven't heard anything so this morning i phoned them. They claim to have written to me on the 23rd of November informing me that they cant provide any of the info because they can only supply me with info that is directly personal to me. I asked them to explain what that means and they said if the documentation hasnt got my name and address on they dont have to give me any info off it. What a joke. So basically i cant be told about any of the charges relating to the repossession and sale of the house because it was Swift that employed the management company and estate agents. And it was Swift/management company who sorted out the property insurance, the conveyancing fees, the HIPS pack (which was billed for on the day they were terminated) the tradesmen, the RICS valuation etc etc etc. All these things will have had Swifts details on as it was them who employed these companies even though it was me who eventually paid the bills. They got into a right muddle when i asked about Eastern Counselling and their charges.

 

I've asked them to resend the letter telling me about their decision not to send this info and hopefully it will arrive this time. I'm not really sure where to go with this now though. Any suggestions?

Evebning all,

 

Perhaps an Order of the Court could be obtained for non-compliance with your SAR - you really need a good brief. Since when is this company (?) beyond the law?

My thoughts exactly Dougal. Indirectly I've paid all these bills from the proceeds of the sale and Swift wont even tell me what the charges are for. The FSA have advised me to write to Andy Punch directly and if i dont receive the answers after that they will take it up on my behalf. Unfortunately i'm still struggling financially after losing the house and cant even afford a bad brief let alone a good one :|

Good evening

If you are struggling what about Legal Aid ? Still available at present, and having the backing you have could well be granted.

 

Best wishes

I had a letter back from the SRA yesterday, I complained about Mathew Payne. They have received lots of complaints and are not going to do anything!!!!!!! The letter was the biggest load of BULL I have read. I sent them absolute proof they were acting illegally :-x I dont know how Swift get away with it.

Item 2 in this link has letters for non-compliance with a SAR, although if you threaten court action you must be ready to follow it up. http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/content.php?609-Can-t-find-the-letter-you-want-Look-here

Dougal and Caro

 

Dougal, i've just tried the legal aid route and they said i need to exhaust all other options first. I'm about half way through the process at the moment but need to give the Chief Exec a chance to reply to my complaint and cooperate, then when he doesn't help (We already know he wont dont we) i need to go to the FSA. If they dont get anywhere i can go back to Legal Aid and they will get involved.

 

Caro, thanks for the links, i guess that template will come in handy if the FSA dont get anywhere and at that time the threat of court action will be real.

It has been ruled by the European Courts that in house solicitors are not covered by Legal Privilege ...I would there fore suggest that all "Swifties" submit a SDAR to Swift Group Legal Services asking them for all information they hold on you, transcripts and copies of correspondence e-mails etc etc of internal corespondence in Swift Advances plc Arcadia House.......copies of all correspondence between Swift Group Legal Services and outside solictors ,agents, and Barristers........

Here is some info for all Swift Advances plc and Swift 1st Ltd customers.

 

On September 12th 2010 the European Court along with the OFT have ruled that In House solicitors are not covered by Legal Privilege.

I would advise that all should submit a full SDAR to Swift Group Legal Services as they state that they are the In House solicitors for the above named companies.

Request that they supply you with all transcripts of telephone calls between other departments within Arcadia House, copies of all e-mails between same, Transcripts of all telephone calls e-mails, and letters to and from all outside solicitors and Barristers and other agents appertaining to you and your account and court case if applicable.

Do not accept any attempt to bluff you or avoid your request you are now legally entitled to all this information.

 

In my next confrontation in the Court room with Swift Advances plc this is one of the many orders I will be asking the Court to make…..to make all these available…..this should happen within the next two weeks or so maybe sooner

Nice one Frettful38, if only there was a similar organisation in England.

 

Sparkie!! You're back, it's been SO LONG since we heard from you. Hurrah I'll get an SAR off to SGLS or SWIFT GROUP LEGAL SERVICES although surely if they're in-house the original SAR to Swift should cover the whole group . . . . do I really have to fork out another £10? They don't half cash those cheques quickly. Shame they're not so fast at providing the docs. :roll:

Hi Sweetjane,

I regret that to get this info you will have to spend another £10 as it is all the solicitors info that they will not supply under your SDAR to either Swift Advances plc or Swift 1st Ltd.............this is another little bit of evidence that helps to prove that Swift Group Legal Services are a "seperate entity" to Swift Advances plc and Swift 1st Ltd...and up till now hid behind Legal Privilege....cannot any more.

They have claimed that they are just another department within Swift Advances plc......if that was indeed correct then everyone would receive the information you are now requesting.

 

Send your SDAR's in everyone....it will be a TENNER well spent because if they do not comply......then ring the ICO and tell them they wont.

Hi, I've been trying to get some sense out of SWIFT regarding my secured loan. I've put my house on the market [4 months ago] without any luck yet. The only reason I've done this is to clear the Swift loan as I am shortly [Jan] only going to be able to pay £100 per month instead of £228. I wrote a letter of complaint to Alan Loblack who sent me a hard lines letter. When I asked for more details I have been ignored [2 months] and a chaser [both sent recorded] has also been ignored. Does anyone know what is likely to happen when I start sending half payment? Merry XXXXX Xmas

Hi joes

 

Swift will add charges to your account and the debt will grow substantially. They may even try for repossession if you don't have their agreement to reduce payments. I would recommend going to the cab or national debtline and asking them to approach swift on your behalf urgently.

 

Good luck sj

Joe, you posted a while back that you had a letter from Eastern Counselling...can you depersonalise it and post it up for us to see...? Ta..

 

Good advice from Sweet Jane - hang on in there if you can..
