    • All of the services listed in the upload link to convert to pdf and/or edit pdfs are online, which means you are uploading your documents to another's servers for the merge, and whilst some claim to delete the files within a given timeframe, we have no method of validating this. And so I avoid this, as I do not want my personal and often sensitive information to be in the hands of another. I'll upload to my website and/or one-drive and provide shareable links instead, this way, I remain in control and everyone shall be able to access my documents - there's much, much more than just those two
    • If you simply respond to the NIP and request for driver's details promptly the police will simply process it in the normal way and either offer you an out-of-court disposal or take court action (and which of those will depend on the speed and limit and your eligibility). They do not routinely ask for proof of insurance and there seems no reason why they should do so in your case. £300 and six points is the fixed penalty amount for no insurance. It can be more if the case goes to court. There is provision for n unlimited fine, up to eight points or a disqualification.   That is all as far as the penalty goes. However, you should not dismiss it too lightly. An endorsement for No Insurance will probably double your insurance premiums in the first year. As well as that, if you also have one or two speeding endorsements, the increase will be considerably more. In fact in those circumstances some of the mainstream insurers will refuse to cover you at all and you will have to go to a "specialist" (which means very expensive) broker. 
    • I think we normally recommend people to follow the upload link
    • I removed them as they have my email address on them, and so shall repost them once my Snagit scrolling capture thing starts working (needs reinstalling I think as it keeps falling over); they are an email that runs over two pages, so would be best suited to a scrolling capture. As for multi page formats, this is harder as I have no tools available to merge documents, unless you can suggest any free ones that will perform offline merges without watermarking
    • Oh that is very helpful, thanks a million for answering my query. Looking at the license right now. At the front it says the issue date is 2022 (that's when I swapped it), but at the back it says 2015 next to Category B. So, I'm definately at 12 points, right?

    • 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.

Wow I got a letter within a week....

 

It says...

 

I am writing in regards to your letters dated 20th June 2011 (I only sent 1 to them plus my oft letter - yet to have a response to).

 

You have indicated that you have never had this Barclaycard. We need to clarify if you are claiming that this account was taken out fraudulently in your name.

 

Please contact our offices to discuss the account, there is some information we need to gather in order to look into your dispute.

 

Please contact our offices on 08456061573 so that we can discuss the account and to investigate your dispute.

 

We look forward to hearing from you.

 

Yours sincerely

To me this is their attempt to get me on the phone again and try and abuse me which I am not interested in doing... I am half tempted to sit on this letter for a week and then maybe respond what do you guys suggest?

Something along the lines of:

 

Thank you for letter dated 24th June

 

For me to meet to your request can you put the information you request into writing.

 

I would like to remind you I only want any correspondence with yourself to be communicated to me in writing. I will not call your offices due to your operators harassing and intimidating behaviour on the phone (I may put the second sentence in)

 

Yours sincerely

Send their reply to the OFT as a further part of your complaint, put the original complaint reference on their letter - they are not supposed to be asking for additional info from you, you need it from them!

 

Complete idiots!

Ok... I'm in 2 minds what to do... I'm half tempted to wait and see if they chase me after this letter.. Respond to them but take a week to do this in or as I have statements of this account try and hang out until 22nd July then who Evers this debt belongs to it will be SB as that was when the last payment was and then hit them with load of legal stuff about it....

 

And also forward this to the oft ( they haven't even acknowledged my complaint yet but that's understandable)

It seems strange that you would be considering the use of delay tactics here.

If as you say the debt is not yours why then would you consider stalling to reach statute barred status?

Imho i would not delay as i would want this corrected immediately.

As for them asking you to phone them to give further information, is the onus not on them to prove you do owe it rather than you supplying them with why you dont?

Ok letter to be done tomorrow and go...

 

I was looking for an easier way and have more evidence that their tactics they are using is illegal and that I could use against them i.e. chasing a SB debt that doesnt belong to me that would make great reading to the papers etc...

Hopefully this will be my final draft:

 

 

Something along the lines of:

 

Thank you for letter dated 24th June

 

For me to meet to your request I need the following from yourself in writing

 

• the additional information you require

• the reasons why you need this information

• my legal obligation to give you this information

 

Once I have this information I will refer this to my legal representatives and the oft to clarify this meets their guidelines in debt collection.

 

I would like to remind yourselves I will only communicate in writing as should I speak to your operators it becomes an intimidating/harassing experience.

Yours sincerely

Yeah it was a tough one to put together for me and I was talking to a member of my team who has abit of knowledge in this and is currently studying law part-time and some of the consumer law.

 

We reckon that sort of letter will make them realise I mean business and may put a stop to them but because we know what they are like they may not take any notice!

  • 2 weeks later...

As promised from another thread I have another letter to share and the contents below:

 

Thank You for your letter.

 

As you are disputing that this debt is not your, we require proof to investigate this matter further with Barclaycard.

 

Please can you provide us with a photocopy of either your driving licence or passport, so that we can confirm the date of birth, and signature with the original Barclaycard application.

We also need proof or your addresses from March 2003 to July 2011.

 

If you do not wish to provide us with the requested proof, we will be unable to assist you in your dispute, and this debt will remain on your credit report. This is not a legal obligation, but this will helps us help you, with your raised dispute.

 

If you have any further queries, please do not hesitate from getting in contact with us.
