    • @Man in the middle I've been searching the forum and you seem very knowledgeable. Would you mind giving a look at my query please? Thanks in advance!!
    • Thanks for this! I'm still not clear if I'm facing more than 6 points on my license though. Can you explain any further please? When I accept the 2nd speeding ticket, will they just charge me £100 and 3 points, or will they be more severe concenquences since that offense took place the following day of the 1st offense? Similarly, when I accept the 3rd offense, will they look at my record or just charge me with the £100 fine and 3 points?
    • Yes of course. That's why it says cc:: BIg Motoring World at the bottom. Don't imagine that this solves the issue. It doesn't. He not have to force the finance company and big motoring world to accept the rejection to give your money back. I suggest that you get the letter off tomorrow. And let us know what you hear but on Friday you should then send a threat to the finance company.   Have a look what I have said here about your options and read the whole thread as well.  
    • Been perusing the actual figures on the polls above wondering where the '16% claimed for deform comes from? I understand that there are 'weighted' end results based on secret calculations ...   Probably going to repeat this later, but remember that the ukip/brexit/reform/deform party has ALWAYS had poll speculation FAR better than their actual  performance at elections - by large margins. SO: The labor and Tory votes come largely from simply the people who say they will vote for them - sorted Lab 43% Tory 20%, with maybe another small 1-2% coming from the weightings of the 'not sures' Greens largely get what is declared from 'other' , although with another declared green bit from the 'pressed' question   So as the share of the voting displayed in 'other' granted to reform/deform is around 11%, where does the '16% too often being reported come from? Seems that reform has been granted as beneficiary of effectively ALL the don't knows and wont says, who when pressed didn't actually declare for someone else ... effectively adding 40%+ to their reported polling % - rather strange given their consistent under-performance compared to polling - or perhaps that is the cause of the higher rating eh?   Now I admit the possibility (probability?) of wingers being ashamed of declaring their support for the yuckey lemon end of the spectrum ... but surely  that should affect the 'Torys as well? Maybe the statisticians have simply weighted in that deform wingers are simply more likely to lie?   But - without 'weightings' and assumptions that faragits will get everything that isnt declared as a definite and unequivocal 'not that Piers Morgan' - reform is on around 11% it seems.   Add to that the history of polling a lot less than the hype - and the simple fact that faragit wingers seem to be spread across the country (presumably skulking in their moms spare room despite being 45+) and greens and lib dems seem to be community minded - I think two seats will be an epic result for farage. Hardly the opposition - far more raving wingnut party.   and importantly - Has farage got a home in clacton yet?

    • 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.

To clarify:

 

There is no "civil order" and no court date in the pipeline. The bailiffs are acting on a warrant of execution which they will already have.

 

And it is not true that if you offer something they have to accept.

 

Bad advice like this will make matters worse for the OP.

 

According to the OP he has no assets and so the warrant will almost certainly end up being returned nulla bona. His best course of action is to bring that about ASAP rather than riding out the hassle he's getting, or paying the debt. He shouldn't have to pay it if his circumstances are as he describes them.

Conniff is correct, councils cannot refuse payments. If they do then there is recourse for a complaint.

 

You would be pretty lucky if you managed to get a meeting with anyone in parking services, your best bet is to write to the manager of parking services.

Send in proof of your benefits etc. explain the circumstances, mention the vulnerable status of the national standards of enforcement agents, let them know that bailiff has been aggressive and this has upset your daughter, mention you will be informing you mp, if the bailiffs are not asked to withdrawn. I would also send a letter to marstons enclosing a copy of what you have sent to the council. Tell them you dont appreciate the language the bailiffs used infront of your daughter. remind them of their codes of conduct. just let the council know that you are not refusing to pay, but just cannot pay in a full lump some and request some time to pay it.

 

I don't think that is true.

 

In any case, I don't think the OP has had good advice here. The sensible way forward is to get into dialogue with the council. If necessary, arrange a meeting with someone in parking. Show them evidence of your situation, income, lack of assets, benefits deduction etc.

 

Once the council can see that this case is not going anywhere they can recall the bailiff warrant. Expecting the bailiff to give it up is just too fanciful.

 

If I were you I would try right now - get onto the council, ask them if they will suspend the warrant until you've had a chance to meet them or present your case to them.

 

I think you will have a good chance of getting it resolved that way without paying anything.

So the council "cannot" refuse payments? Read post 21: "The council have now told me they cannot accept payments from me or out of my benefit due to it being with the bailiff" ... "6.15 this morning 2 bailiffslink3.gif called and were hammering on the door".

 

That's the reality of the situation, not my opinion.

 

Councils extend a right to personal meetings, and even in the absense of that right, will have no objection to organising one. Most have public offices dealing with parking, with public-facing staff. They are quite happy to sit down and meet with people to discuss issues. I used to supervise several such offices myself and had countless meetings with members of the public, as did my managers.

 

Letters? pretty much futile. Meetings? Yes - they get you heard.

We will have to agree to disagree on this one, each area has different rules im afraid.

 

As for the council refusing payment, then a complaint needs to be sent asap to the ceo of the council.

 

Sure, but a complaint sitting in an in-tray waiting for a standard defensive reply won't help the OP tomorrow, the next day, the next day... that't the point - he wants it sorted out, and ASAP.

dont we all, but whats to say he will get to meet anyone in the next day.. nothing stopping the OP from calling, emailing or hand delivering a letter.

Nothing in this industry gets done asap, there are protocols some have to go through.

Just checked the certified list and the bailiff who is dealing with this is not registered on there...does thischange anything or anything i can do?

 

The register is not 100% accurate, you will need to ring the MOJ for further information and after that ring the Court he is Ceritficated at to find the current status.
