    • I see that at the start of your thread you said they hadn't sent a Letter of Claim.  And in fact in all the uploaded material there is no LoC.  This is great news.  Even were you to lose - you won't - the judge would chop off a chunk of the money for their non-respect of PAPLOC. However, I'm a bit confused as you've named the file name as a SAR.  Are you sure about this?  Did you send any other letters apart from the one dx advised which was a CPR request (not a SAR) to DCBL (not Group Nexus).  I'm not being pernickety, this will be important for your Witness Statement further down the line.
    • I didn’t say it wouldn’t. That is not the issue here. To continue driving after the licence has expired (under s88), the driver must have submitted a “qualifying application”.  An application disclosing a relevant medical condition (of which sleep apnoea is one) is not a “qualifying application”, This means the driver cannot take advantage of s88 and must wait for the DVLA to make its decision before resuming driving. The driver’s belief is irrelevant. The fact that a licence was eventually granted may mitigate the offence, but  does it does not provide a defence. But this driver didn’t meet the conditions. I explained why in my earlier post. He only meets the conditions if his application does not declare a relevant medical condition. His did. As I explained, after his birthday he did not hold a licence that could be revoked. In my view it doesn’t matter what it says. The offence is committed because his application declared a medical condition. Meanwhile his licence expired and s88 is not available to him. The GP letter would form part of the material the DVLA would use to complete their investigations. But until those enquiries are completed he could not drive. The offence does not carry points or a disqualification (because a licence could have been held by your father). It only carries a fine and the guideline is half a week’s net income. If he pleads guilty that fine will be reduced by a third. He will also pay a surcharge of 40% of that fine. But the big difference is prosecution costs: a guilty plea will see costs of about £90 ordered whilst being convicted following a trial will see costs in the region of £600.

    • 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, a newbie here,

I had Tmob (private) phone contract for about 5 or 6 years for me, then my other half, & then for a dongle thing.

February / March this year my business went belly up & I got behind with all my payments.

April I started a regular job & contacted everyone to explain my situation - most were understanding. Tmob told me I was a "good, loyal customer" & that it wouldn't be a problem. 2 weeks later they cut off my services. Some snotty call centre operator told me I had to pay up in full to get reconnected or pay in full to the end of the contract to cancel it- I politely told him what I thought of Tmobs customer service & attitude & told him I would pay everything I owed as and when I had it.

So since then I've been paying it off bit by bit online.

In October when I only had about £27 arrears left I got a letter telling me that they had waived the £27 & cancelled my contract, & that I now owed them £158 for early cancellation of the contract.

I wrote to Tmob to explain that I did not choose to cancel, so I am not liable for early canx fees, & that I had not been made aware of any early canx fees & that I hadn't signed anything to say that I agreed to this. (I'm a bit of a horder so I went through old Tmob correspondence & cannot find anything aboutearly canx fees).

November I got a letter from Fredricksons demanding £158. having not received any response from Tmob I sent them a duplicate letter (still awaiting response)

Today I have another Fred letter demanding £235 (inc courts, solicitors & interest) to be paid within 7 days or action will be taken blah blah bailiffs blah blah - you get the picture. Can they turn up & help themselves if I'm not at home ?

Whats my next move - contact Freds 7 tell them the situation ??

Tell them to poke it as I don't owe that amount ??

I can't pay it all - should I enter into an agreement with them ?

Or something else ?

BTW I work away mostly mon-fri so any usually correspondence is delayed until weekends.

 

TIA G

Hi,I note you say the latest letter from Freds states you now owe

£235 not £158, unless a CCJ has already been issued regarding this

Freds cannot demand you pay any court or other costs or interest,

the extra £77.00 is not payable at all unless the threatened court action

has taken place.

I would send Freds the prove it letter from the CAG library.it seems

you have not received a notice of assignment of the Debt to Freds,

so you have no actual proof that thet are entitled to collect the alleged

debt.

Send the letter to The Compliance Manager at Freds.

Any Letters I Draft are N0T approved by CAG and no personal liability is accepted.

Thanks for the advice.

"Prove it" letter posted.

Update: Today received a letter from Bryan Carter Solicitors o/b/o/ Freds, threatening legel action & quoting the fees mentioned above if payment not made in full within 14 days. I assume I just sit & wait for the "prove it " to kick in ?

 

In the meantime what, if anything, can I do about this:
