    • Do not under any circumstances plead guilty until we know what we are dealing with. It's a sure way to 9 points. The tried and tested way to handle this is to plead not guilty to both charges and offer to plead guilty to speeding provided the "Fail to give information" charge is dropped. But I am concerned about this "ticket refused" sticker. I've never heard of this before. A "ticket" is not a term used in connection with speeding offences. There seems a distinct possibility that your response was received by the police but one thing worries me: I've never heard of a sticker being placed on a response and it being returned "Return to Sender". t's just not what ticket offices do. If you could post a picture of this document and the sticker it might help.  If you can show the response was received you may have a defence to the "Fail to Provide" charge (provided you completed your response properly). If the police are saying you did not respond they cannot succeed with a speeding charge (as they have no evidence you were driving). But if you did not respond, who put the sticker on the document and sent it back yo you?
    • lolerz, many thanks for your reply and correcting my big mistake, oh dear start again. They sent the section 48 along with the Form NO 6A, it was sitting on top of the paperwork, sorry about that. SO they have sent me a Form No 6A and i have received the court paperwork with the claim form and defence paperwork.

    • Hi, below is a draft of the letter Address: Hugo Martin Director of Legal and Company Secretary EVRi Parcelnet Ltd trading as Evri CAPITOL HOUSE, 1, CAPITOL CLOSE LEEDS LS27 0WH REQUEST OF CONTRACTS      Dear Sir/Madam, I am writing in regards to the ongoing small claims case ____. In your Defendant’s response you make reference to a pre-existing commercial agreement between yourselves and Packlink (2.7). In that, you claim to have a clause removing customers third party rights under the Contract (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999. I would like to request a copy of this contract and confirmation of the date on which the exclusion of third party rights term was included in it. If you refuse to provide this then I will be henceforth referring to that refusal in the claim, including to the Judge. I also notice that you have destroyed tracking information due to "lapse of time" in line with your data protection policy (2.12). Can you share where this data protection policy is disclosed to customers? I also ask you to forward you a copy of that data protectiono policy, and again if you refuse to provide this then I will be henceforth referring to that refusal in the claim, including to the Judge. Kind regards,
    • Firstly, thank you for filling in the sticky so quickly - we wish everyone who comes here would do that! You're in the clear.  MET don't know who the driver was.  They can use Schedule 4 of the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012 to transfer liability to the keeper if their bilge arrives within 14 days - they didn't send it out till 102 days after!!! So sit on your hands.  MET will come out with threat after threat but ultimately will do nothing. Have a read of other threads for this car park - we are having a tsunami of cases at the moment. Be sure to come back here though if they ever send you a Letter of Claim.

    • 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 All

 

 

Hope I can get some advice and apologies if this has alreday been dealt with.

 

 

I had a vanquis card and got into debt with it.

 

 

I am paying Fenton Cooper to pay off the debt with no problems.

 

 

However i still get a bill from vanquis with some sort of protection on it.

 

 

My debt is reducing with FC but increasing via the bill with Vanquis!!!

 

 

Anyone have any ideas of the best way to deal with this?

 

 

I havent approached Vanquis regarding this,

 

 

I thought I would approach here first.

 

 

Many Thanks

I do remeber being called about this, but when i went into a repayment plan with the dca didnt realize this would continue!

 

Also Fenton Cooper sat my balance is approx £337!!!But Vanquis shows £536.50!!!

 

Can you advise which letter is best to write?

I do not wish to butt in, and i know paid for DMP work for some people, however if you feel strong enough and have the time you can do it all yourself and pay the debts off quicker.

Failing that you may be able to use CCCS or Payplan to do it for free

 

Many thanks for all your help, I am not in a dmp, FC just chased me for the debt. I am going to try to claim ppi myself.

Hi,Vanquis will tell you that some customers may confuse the repayment plan option with PPI.

 

They do not offer PPI Against any of our Credit card products,We do however offer a Repayment Option Plan.

 

The Repayment Plan enables you to freeze your repayment obligations,together with interest and default chargers,in the event that you experience certain difficult financial circumstances.

 

However the Repayment Option Plan is not a insurance product and does not make payments on your behalf.

 

They will stop collecting the Repayment Plan when you ask us but we will not reimbursement a any of payments you have made.

The repayment option plan can still be mis sold though and in the details about it, it says it will pay out if you're pregnant, sick, unemployed etc but of course most people would get paid during those times either by their employer or DWP so Vanquis will not then pay out.

In Nov 2011, the FSA issued a warning to companies informing them that it would take very seriously the mis selling of PPI like products which the repayment option plan is.

Vanquis held an investor day on Tuesday, a chance to show off the business to potential shareholders and, possibly inadvertently, a chance for the rest of us to pay some attention to the man behind the curtain.

 

The provider's presentation [pdf - page 96] showed that it makes 67% of its profits from interest charges, 19% from fees (for missing a payment or making a cash advance, for example) and a further 14% from other products.

 

The 'other products', analysts pointed out, is in fact primarily composed of Repayment Option Plans, a policy with eerie similarities to payment protection insurance (PPI).

 

Repayment options

 

As that comparison suggests, a Repayment Option Plan is precisely the kind of product the Office of Fair Trading (OFT) recently warned credit card providers about selling.

 

It's sold alongside credit cards and allows cardholders to freeze repayments for 1.29% of every £100 of outstanding balance each month.

 

So if your outstanding credit card balance was £900 (which the average Vanquis credit cardholder's is) you'd be paying £11.61 a month just to own it.

 

According to investors who attended the meeting three quarters of new Vanquis credit cardholders take a ROP and over half of existing account holders pay for the product.

 

It's not quite insurance so it's regulated by the OFT, rather than the Financial Services Authority (FSA) which was at the forefront of investigations into PPI.

 

However, the similarities to PPI policies are hard to ignore.

 

The plan promises cover if, for example, "you become sick, disabled or have an accident... your main home is significantly damaged by a natural disaster... you become unemployed involuntarily... you go on maternity, paternity or adoption leave."

Yeah thats right about it not being PPI.

 

I asked them to stop collecting it, and they did.

Tried claiming it back.

Just found out today that they have refused to do so.

Thing is i never signed anything.

And they say i took it out over the phone.

 

A verbal conversation is not legally binding. I signed nothing.

Was in financial difficulties last year.

Vanqius rep rang me and gave me a proper b........g over the phone.

Yet the plan i'd paid into for 36 months was not mentioned.

If it was there to help in difficult situations why was i not reminded i'd paid it and could use some part of it,

untill my financial situation had settled.

Instead of being shouted at down the phone.

 

By the way do you work for Vanquis ??

To all who read this there is no way i will let it drop.

If i wasn't paying into some trumped up plan it's possible my debt would be significantly lower than it is now.

 

I will go to whatever lengths to get my money back.

And the same way the [problem] surrounding the PPI came out to all those who paid it, will happen with ROP in time.

And i will make this public in anyway i can.

Oh you can try and recover it from them via financial ombudsmen, once you've exhausted their internal complaints procedure.

Make sure you SAR them too... I got some interesting info that way from the copy of the notes off the computer that they sent me.

No no interest on charges. All in the hands of FOS now. Lets see what they can do. x

 

Hi allive had the same letter back from vanquis. They have said i can complain to the fos if i am not happy. Is this the way to go now? I am not happy that even when i have paid off the dca charges will still be on the account! The original credit limit was for £250 and nearly all the debt is charges and the ppi by another name!!!

ideally you should not be paying off unlawful PENALTY charges + the interest they gained anyhow

 

as for the PPI that too.

 

they'll go no-whre near a court anyhow for fear of a counter claim.

Had a similar reply to my ROP claim, and as they have exhausted there complaints procedure then there is nothing else they can do, but I can go to the FOS (rofl)

If you go to the FOS it will take an awful long time, I intend to go down the court route, ROP is PPI in all but name and let's see them prove otherwise in court.

 

If anyone on this thread wants to pm me maybe we could help each other. I am at the point of issuing N1 in the courts in a few days or so regarding ROP using COBS.
