    • do a chargeback to your bank if temu want it back then they'll write and ask for it. 9/10 they dont bother. dx
    • No reminders are required by law. As a result of that, whether the police say they sent one or not, whether they actually did so or not and whether you received it or not has no bearing on the matter whatsoever.  I have explained what to do in the third paragraph of my post #22. You don't need to do any more than that. The most likely outcome is that your offer (to plead guilty to speeding if the FtP charge is dropped) will be accepted by the prosecutor. What happens next is for the court to decide. This "deal" is done every day in courts up and down the land and all court users (prosecutors, Magistrates and their legal advisors) are familiar with it.  Although I said you could not ask to be sentenced at the fixed penalty level, that was incorrect. There is nothing to stop you asking (and if you do, you should mention it under "Mitigation" when you fill in your return). You can mention the circumstances you were in when you returned the request for driver's details and suggest that is why the error with the stamp may have occurred.  My feeling, however, is that your request will be denied. If it is, you will face sentencing under the normal guidelines. These suggest a fine of half a week's net income (reduced by a third for your guilty plea.- so one third of a week's income). You will also be ordered to pay a "Victim Surcharge" of 40% of the fine and prosecution costs of around £90. You will also have three points imposed on your driving record. You may be lucky and encounter a kindly Magistrate who settles on the fixed penalty equivalent or you may see something in between (with perhaps the prosecution costs left off). But the worst case is as in the previous paragraph. There's no need to fret too much over this. The important thing is to make sure you plead not guilty to both charges and make it absolutely clear that you will plead guilty to speeding only if the other charge is dropped. You may be asked to attend court or it may be handled under the SJ procedure. I don't know how they work this matter in South Wales.
    • The problem that I'm having is with Temu. I ordered a cat tree (£152.98) that I want to send back as it's too small for them/not as advertised/flimsy. I would never have paid that amount if I'd known what poor quality/ how small it was. I have contacted Temu about this numerous times, they did get back to me once but they didn't actually help me with their response. I tried to get in touch again but the emails only ran one way so I couldn't get back to them and tell them that they haven't answered me correctly on how to get the cat tree sent back to them. I have attached the emails correspondence into this post. Thank you in advance for the help and support.    Temu email.pdf
    • Stu007. Many thanks for your reply. They have supplied all the necessary documents so it looks like everything is above board.  Many thanks for the link, once again everything seems above board.  I have received a second claim form today as it says the one they sent me did not refer to my tenancy. Ill look at the details later   I have filled out the defence form, took pics, i will redact it later and post the pdf.

    • 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.

I know I was paying this PPI but unsure which way to go now Plz help me sort this out asap ...

This is just standard junkmail from CSL, the important factor is never to panic, never under ANY CIRCUMSTANCES contact DCA's by telephone. If as you say there is PPI involved claim a refund. Next move send a Subject Access Request (Unfortunately costs £10.00) then calculate added charges and lodge a claim for recovery. If at the end of the day there is still a balance then we can look at an affordable repayment based on you limited income.

 

Nobody will take your goods THIS IS AN IDLE THREAT FROM A COLLECTION AGENT AND MERELY EMPHASISIS THE IMPORTANCE OF NEVER TALKING TO THEM ON THE PHONE. IF THEY CALL YOU REFUSE TO PROVIDE DATE OF BIRTH OR ANY PERSONAL INFORMATION. (THERE ARE NO EXCEPTIONS TO THIS RULE)

 

 

THE LETTERS YOU REQUIRE ARE ON SITE.

CSL are a DCA they have NO LEGAL POWERS

to do ANYTHING to you.

 

tell us about the debt

 

how old is it

when did you last pay it

 

 

does it show on your CRA file?

 

dx

please don't hit Quote...just type we know what we said earlier..

DCA's view debtors as suckers, marks and mugs

NO DCA has ANY legal powers whatsoever on ANY debt no matter what it's Type

and they

are NOT and can NEVER  be BAILIFFS. even if a debt has been to court..

If everyone stopped blindly paying DCA's Tomorrow, their industry would collapse overnight...

HI Mandy,

 

Please don't let CSL intimidate you - that's just what they want.

 

Have a look here about Financial Difficulty - http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/content.php?557-Letter-for-an-application-for-consideration-for-hardship

 

If you were suffering FD at the time you asked them to stop charges and interest, and have been in FD since then, you have the right to ask them to remove the charges and interest. This is what they should have done at the time.

 

Deal with Barclays direct in writing only. Send them a letter reclaiming the charges and interest if you feel it's appropriate.

 

Send CSL a copy of the letter. Tell them the account is in clear dispute and they have cease all collection activity until the matter is resolved.

 

:-)

I have asked them ( barclays bank ) 3 times to remove the added money since April 2010 but they say no this was last year and since then I hadn't had any letter then I received the dept collection letter as I said above ... Today I have got a letter from POWER2CONTACT saying "formal notice of intended visit " but it doesn't have a date will they come and can they take my goods... I have always said to barclays I will gladly pay the amount up til April 2010 but from then I ask to freeze my account untill I had paid but they didn't they just kept charging me... They kept increasing my overdraft even though I am a disabled person and I do not work since 1999 and they knew this I kept telling them Im worried about paying it back but they said it was my only option to increase my overdraft...

 

Im so scared and my illnesses are made worse by stress this is making me very ill...

 

What do I do next ???

 

Thankyou

Mandy

The dept is my overdraft that got bigger because the CSA stopped paying the money into my account without telling me and so my car insurance kept going out of my bank acc making me overdrawn this is why I asked them to stop and freeze my account... I have sent them 3 letters saying I am suffering financle difficulties and need there help but they sent a letter back saying I need to pay this amount off in full ... my overdraft was £400 but they have not froze it so now my balance is £874 they cancled my account in dec 2011

Hi MJ,

 

See the Article here about doorstep visits - http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/content.php?441-If-you-do-receive-a-doorstep-visit-we-give-these-suggestions-to-Members

 

It is absolutely nothing to worry about. If anyone calls, they have absolutely no authority to do anything. They are not bailiffs and have no powers of seizure.

 

Use the letter I linked you to in post #4 above. This explains to the bank that they have a DUTY to treat your case sympathetically in accordance with the Banks Lending Code.

 

You can add two paragraphs explaining your circumstances further as follows :-

 

............. have been taken from my account.

 

I am registered disabled and am in receipt of [whatever type of] benefits.

 

I must add that I have drawn your attention to my circumstances previously and asked that charges and interest be stopped. You have so far chosen to ignore my requests, despite the obligations imposed on you by the Banks Lending Code. Accordingly, if you continue to ignore my reasonable requests for fair treatment, I will consider taking action against Barclays Bank PLC using the BCOB regulations.

 

I also enclose a schedule of ..............

 

Read this to see how the bank is obliged to treat you fairly - http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/announcement.php?f=7&a=220
