      Bristow & Sutor. Ex's CTAX debt. Clamped MY Car and left. now i want to deed poll and pay all her debts

      By bobandi · Posted

      My ex blamed me for her not paying her bills she says I controlled her money. So I have been told I need to pay them as it was my fault. She has not paid the bills where she lives now which was my house. I'm not allowed contact with her and again she is blaming me. As in this type of case it is victim led so no matter what stupid thing she says she is believed. It is for me to prove otherwise.

      Wrong settlement quote given on PCP.

      By axil23 · Posted

      No SAR yet but they have confirmed via email that they have everything and will supply it by this month end.    When you say the FOS considered it a personal loan due to personal guarantee who is the FOS? Financial Ombudsman?  But then that doesn’t make sense as they haven’t been involved yet.    Santander in their final response to my original complaint did not agree to it. They turned my complaint down and specified that the selling dealership had agreed to treat it as personal for settlement purposes.    I guess they could not agree to it as then they would be guilty of miss selling but they gave me what I wanted by saying I would not get treated as a business customer in regards to finance charges.    Awful bank to deal with. Will never touch them again.

      The FOS view of the scope of SARs

      By Consett26 · Posted

      Background I am in dispute with Clerical Medical over, amongst other things, statements that I haven't received. They didn't resolve my complaint in time so invited me to complain to the FOS, which I did The FOS investigator in his findings has written that  Clerical Medical have mow provided all missing statements apart from two. One of these is for the policy year 2021 - 2022, which they say is unavailable due to a system migration. I have twice asked the FOS investigator for a copy of his screen shot to try and resolve this discrepancy but they have ignored me so today I submitted a subject access request. I said I was primarily interested in the screen shot but I also asked for everything they held against the complaint reference number. The response I got from firstly the Data Protection Operations Senior Coordinator, then secondly the investigator was that  The investigator expanded on this and said I'll wait the 40 days and see what they come back with then make a decision on next steps at that point, but I want to make sure I've got my facts in the right order before I start arguing with them. They seem to be saying that my SAR doesn't cover the screen shot because it isn't personal data but I disagree. I have a reference number that identifies my complaint and therefore indirectly identifies me. I think that means everything that is held against that reference number, including the screen shot, is my personal data and is in scope of my SAR (subject to exemptions). Who is right?

    • Big Motoring World Enfield /Blackhorse - done over on car - @BigMotoringWrld

      ATJ posted a topic in Vehicle retailers and manufacturers,

      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

    • Post in Suing a parcel delivery company when you don't have a direct contract with them – third-party rights Copy of judgment available

      BankFodder posted a post in a topic,

      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.

Hello I need help with my situation. Last year in December 2011 I was caught using a child travel card on a bus in Stratford. I had a valid 18+ oyster card with me at the time, however at the time I did not think I had any money on the oyster and I had no money on me at the time so I used the child ticket on the bus even know I knew it was wrong I used it to get me to Stratford station so I could check my oyster and get home.

 

At the end of the journey an inspector checked everyone's tickets and I was caught using the child travel card, I appoloigised and tried to explain my reasons and I showed him that I had a valid oyster card he checked my oyster on his reader and it actually had money on it.. I was so shocked that I made such a stupid foolish mistake and I offered to tap on there and then and to pay for the journey with the oyster but he would not let me. He did not caution me he just said he has to take some details down so I gave my details to him and he said tfl will be in touch.

 

Its my first time that this has happened and I dont understand why I did not receive a fine. All I got from TFL was one letter saying I have to reply and send it back.. which I did.. and I got a letter saying there dealing with the incident and I may be prosecuted.. then months later I didn't hear nothing not even a fine then BAM I got a letter from court saying i have to appear in court in March. :/ I feel so bad and terrible and I hate what I have done, I am so ashamed of myself Im really scared and Im willing to pay a fine but I really don't want a criminal record.

 

I am studying in college and I want to become a Vet and a criminal record will ruin my career and my life. Should i just jump of a cliff?

 

Please someone HELP I need to know how to get TFL to settle out of court and am willing to pay them a fine to settle out of court I really want to avoid going to court and getting a criminal record HELP how can I get TFL to settle out of court? Whats the best option to avoid going to court? PLEASE HELP I cant eat or sleep properly with this on my mind 24/7

Hello again.

 

I hope you get some answers from the guys if they're around. I have to tell you that you the inspector didn't have to offer you the option of paying a penalty fare. Being pedantic, only a court can impose a fine.

 

Let's hope they can find something for you to say to TfL to see if they will agree to settle with you.

 

My best, HB

Am not sure what to do? should I go court and plead not guilty? should I phone TFL and ask them to settle out of court if i pay them money?

 

Hello again. I'm not from the transport industry but some of the people here are.

 

I can't say whether it's best to ring or write, but hopefully someone will suggest what it's best to say to TfL. I don't think it's as simple as offering money because it depends on their case and details that we don't know here. I do know that there is time to negociate up until it goes to court, but I would say you need a structured argument.

 

I don't see why you would want to plead not guilty if TfL can prove that you are. From what I've read here, that could cause you further problems.

 

Please bear with us until the guys can get here.

 

HB

Without doubt the best option is to write to the office from which the letter you have received was sent.

 

You are over 18 and therefore entitled to vote if registered, clearly you cannot therefore also be young enough to claim a child fare discount. It is relatively easy to prove such a case and your posts makes clear that you do not deny knowing it was wrong, but there is nothing to stop you trying to convince the TOC to allow an alternative disposal. If this is a first offence you should get a fair hearing and there are a few basics that your letter should contain:

 

1. A sincere written apology to the rail company and the staff concerned,

2. Give an undertaking not to repeat the 'uncharacteristically silly' act,

3. Stress how disproportionate the effect of a conviction would be on your future employment and career prospects,

4. Offer to pay any outstanding fares and all of the rail company's reasonable costs incurred to avoid Court action.

 

They don't have to agree, but it is the best you can realistically do if your case is as straightforward as your post suggests. .

Thank you this is some great advice I'm 18 and its the first time this has happened I have never done anything wrong and my record is clean. I was caught on the bus so you think I should write to the bus company? The only letter I have is the court letter. Where can I get the email to contact the bus company directly?

 

Thanks

All I got from TFL was one letter saying I have to reply and send it back.. which I did.. and I got a letter saying there dealing with the incident and I may be prosecuted..

 

Write your letter, sign and date it and send it by Royal Mail recorded delivery to the address that was on the letter, which you refer to in your original post.

 

This is MUCH more effective than email.

 

Sorry if it seems a bit 'old style, but you do need to put real effort and a bit of a 'personal touch' into convincing them that they should allow you to settle.

 

If you do not still have that letter, read the Summons to Court that you have received and the address of the prosecutor (TfL Office) will be on that.

No not yet, am running out of time, I think I might phone them instead

 

Sorry if some oversensitive soul thinks this is a bit harsh, but I really do think it needs saying sometimes. Whilst you are spending time at your PC typing further posts on here, why not spend that time putting together a letter to send to TfL.

 

I say this from experience, the longer you procrastinate over it, the less likely you are to get a favourable response. Yes of course the prosecutors staff realise the effect of conviction, but quite often the company feel that prosecution is as much about re-education as it is punishment.

 

Show that you are remorseful, write a genuine apology. Give TfL a reason to give you another chance. This will not go away and you need to deal with it as promptly as possible in an adult way.

 

In reality, it is not likely to be a life-changing event, though conviction is something that you would need to declare. TfL are not forced to accept your plea for leniency, but if you don't get on with it then it's never going to happen.

 

You can phone them and maybe you'll get a sympathetic ear, but don't be surprised if they tell you that you must put any further comment in writing anyway.

Similar situation, my wife used my staff pass quite innocently, she even had her own oyster with her but they still took details and it all went to court and fined. I am not sure though if it will show up as a criminal record, but if it does it's our lives screwed for five years as it affects her immigration.

If TfL are involved, and it involved the railway, then she is likely to have been convicted under Section 5(3a) - Regulation of Railways Act 1889, which appears on a criminal record.

The prosecution letter states its an offence and imposition of a miscellaneous railway byelaw.

 

Any idea if that would show on an enhanced Crb (or whatever it's called these days)?

 

Thanks agin

 

If the Summons alleged the strict liability breach of Byelaw, the conviction will not show up on a basic CRB check, but ought to be declared if your job requires a high level of integrity

 

It is not a recordable offence
