    • Know it has already been answered, but? Does not explain why JCI has registered a different default date when they get the information from the original creditor, Virgin
    • Since you were stopped at the time there is no requirement for the police give you anything there and then or to send you anything before they have decided how to deal with the offence.  They have three choices: Offer you a course Offer you a fixed penalty (£100 and three points) Prosecute you in court  The only option that has a formal time limit is (3). They must begin court proceedings within six months of the date of the alleged offence. Options (1) and (2) have no time limit but since the only alternative the police have if you decline those offers is (3) they will not usually offer a course beyond three months from the date of the offence and will not usually offer a fixed penalty beyond four months from that date. This is so as to allow time for the driver to accept and comply with their offer and to give them the time to go to option (3) if he declines or ignores it.  Unless there is a good reason to do otherwise, the action they take will usually be in accordance with the National Police Chiefs' Council's guidance on speeding enforcement. In a 40mph limit this is as follows Up to 45mph - no action. Between 46mph and 53mph - offer a course Between 54mph and 65mph - offer a fixed penalty Over 65mph - prosecution in court So you can see that 54mph should see you offered a fixed penalty. Three weeks is not overly long for a fixed penalty offer to arrive. As well as that, there has been Easter in that period which will have slowed things down a bit. However, I would suggest that if it gets to about two months from the offence date and you have still heard nohing, I would contact the ticket office for the area where you were stopped to see if anything has been sent to you. Of course this raises the danger that you might be "stirring the hornets' nest". But in all honesty, if the police have decided to take no action, you jogging their memory should not really influence them. The bigger danger, IMHO, is that your fixed penalty offer may have been sent but lost and if you do not respond it will lapse. This will see the police revert to option (3) above. Whilst there is a mechanism in these circumstances  to persuade the court to sentence you at the fixed penalty level (rather than in accordance with the normal guidelines which will see a harsher penalty), it relies on them believing you when you say you did not received an offer. In any case it is aggravation you could well do without so for the sake of a phone call, I'd enquire if it was me.  I think I've answered all your questions but if I can help further just let me know. Just a tip - if you are offered a fixed penalty be sure to submit your driving licence details as instructed. I've seen lots of instances where a driver has not done this. There will be no reminder and no second chance; your £100 will be refunded and the police will prosecute you through the courts.
    • Looks similar to you original email to their Complaints team. I dont rate copypasta for a CEO complaint. Rewrite it with emotion involved as to how badly this is affecting you and make them feel embarrassed for their actions...

    • 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 think so.

 

I have a street name and postcode but no house number.

I don't even know what years I lived at that address for.

 

And now that I have this court judgement thingy against me,

bailiffs are a very real threat,

something I have dreaded from day one.

I just don't know what to do for the best.

 

This has been going on for so long now and I am in a worse position than when it all started (with CapQuest).

 

I don't know how I would be able to find out where I lived in 1999.

Why don't the bank or CapQuest have this information already?

 

I'm just going round and round in circles and now this,

having to write to them again with an address that I might have lived in in 1999.

Why can't they talk to me on the phone?

 

I explained my medical history.

But no, has to be in writing.

 

What if that address isn't the right one?

Where do I go from there?

More letter writing and more time for the bailiffs to arrive at my door.

 

And I'm sorry for swearing in my previous post x

 

I honestly feel like I'm tied up in knots :(

they need the address for data protection issues..

 

on a side note

did you follow and read the full sar thread? and include a copy of your current CTAX bill

to prove who and where you are now when you sent it?

 

as for bailiffs

yes I know its one of your pets worries.

 

well forget it.

this is a CIVIL DEBT.

 

any bailiffs that could ever get involved

have no right of entry whatsoever

and can safely be ignored.

 

if its a county court bailiff

they are on your side and will help you

 

if the claimant gets the High Court lot

you can also laugh at them.

but neither will/can happen anyway

as your N244 stop any further action till the set aside is resolved.

I did not enclose a copy of my current CT bill with the original letter,

I will send one with the letter tomorrow.

 

What is an N244?

Is this something I should have done?

 

Is this the thing with the £200 fee or something like that?

If so, I haven't done one of those because I don't have £200 spare.

the set aside will stop things progressing

as with andy

I've not heard of it being done via MCOL.

 

 

the lack of response to the SAR

might well be because to date they cant verify you.

that's why if you rea the SAR thread

and you have moved

we recommend proof of now

like a CTAX bill copy.

  • 3 weeks later...

today received the documents from Santander.

There are 16 pages in total,

some showing screenshots and a few which looks to be a kind of bank statement type of thing.

The last time I personally used the account was on 11/04/2007 and the account was closed with the description "Account closed contact collections and recoveries" on 13/12/2007 with a balance of £1523.00.

There is nothing regarding CapQuest and no further action on the account after 2007.

There are no letters to say the account is being sold to CapQuest

and no letters from CapQuest to the bank.

it looks like nothing happened between 2007 and 2011,

when I started paying CapQuest as per my original post.

and your last use in 2007 was?

so not looking like it was statute barred before they issued the claim.........?

so resit right back to the original thread start..

the debt is mostly bank [penalty] charges that tried to reclaim but gave up on..

any data to support that?

as you need a defence to support the set aside?

The last use by myself was a cash withdrawl from a cash machine.

The next entry is "Account closed contact collections and recoveries".

And yes I do believe it is bank charges, that rings a bit of a bell with me.

As it is now looking like the account wasn't SB'd and I do owe the money

I am going to contact them to offer a payment of £100 per month.

I do not want bailiffs coming to my house,

especially now I have my recently blinded brother living with me,

I simply can't handle that kind of stress.

My question to you is,

should I contact them by telephone or put it in writing or email?

And do you think £100 a month is a reasonable offer?

I just want to pay it off. I need it off my back, it's really making me ill

The set aside, yeah I haven't done that.

Completely forgot about that.

I'd actually forgotten about all of this to be honest.

My brother has lost his eyesight and came to live with me recently so that has taken over everything.

It was only when he asked me last night how this particular issue was going that I remembered,

"Oh yeah, I still have to deal with that"

I'm assuming it is now too late to do the set aside?

And even if I do manage to get it set aside,

what's the point if I'm still just going to have to pay it back?

Ok this has got me even more confused now!

 

I have gone through the statement that they have sent me

, which starts at 31/12/2006 and ends at 13/12/2007

 

I have added up all the "Unauthorised overdraft charges" and the "Unpaid direct debit charges" and it comes to a total of £420.

 

There are other fees such as interest charged while account overdrawn which range from £4.81 to £19.52

No

all they have sent me is a few pages of transactions and some screenshots of their system which don't show dates or anything so don't really mean anything to me.

Is there any way I can send you images of what they have sent?

You might be able to make more sense of it than me.

Sorry for being a bit thick 😕

There is nothing in the paperwork they have sent me that relates to a charges complaint, only what I have written already.

 

Back in 1999 I didn't even know how to use a computer so sadly there isn't anything stored there.

 

I did have another username on here, LilMissMoosh,

but I think one of the Site Team either merged the two accounts or just closed the LilMissMoosh one.

 

It's hard remembering things and the more I try to remember, the harder it gets :(

no you are correct usernames were merged and your old posts are here under your present username and in this thread

 

it was just I was puzzled

 

you joined cag in 2006 but have no posts prior to 2012..weird.

 

I was trying to find any post relating to the reclaim you started

but cant find any.

you must have done the reclaiming post 2006 as you did it with info from cag

so was wondering if you are on the same PC or still had it many have with docs hidden

i'm trying to guage what figures you came up with then

Yeah that sounds about right.

I had my first brain haemorrhage in 2007 and that took me 2 years to recover from.

Then I had a few years of stressful events, so my first post being in 2012 does sound about right.

I don't think I have ever posted anything regarding this debt in another post somewhere.

I think the first time I mentioned it was the beginning of this thread when I needed help/advice.

Sorry, I feel like I'm not being at all helpful here :(

how did you go about the reclaim that failed in the early days?

you must have done some documents and or calculations or letters then

even if you just read cag to get the info.

obv you used a PC to do it

do you know which machine and if it still exists?

Having heard nothing since the court judgement thing,

I have today received a 'Statement' from CapQuest with a letter attched explaining that under the terms of the CCA they are required to send me regular statements detailing any activity on my account.

I'll receive one statement every year whilst the balance remains outstanding.

Details on the statement are:

Type of account: Bank Account

First movement on account: 30th April 1999

Amount of credit: Your agreement was terminated on 10th November 2007, so your credit limit is £0.00

Then it goes on to show 'Adjustments' in April and May 2016 which show a total of £194 being added to the original balance.
