    • Not prosecuting in the public interest seems to be bandied about on forums frequented by students. I don't think I've ever seen a prosecution not go ahead because of that. You would have to define why it isn't in the public interest to prosecute someone who isn't paying their way and is costing other travellers more. I can't think of a reason. HB
    • we have known for a very very long time that 9/10 the OC never knows IRRWW are chasing debtors nor  in some cases even taking money from them that the OC never ever see!! IDRWW pockets it -  free money - lets all go on a staff holiday. there was an article some years back whereby that quoted some +£4M debtors had paid to IDRWW on UAE debts that when contacted the originating banks knew nothing about....😎  
    • let the ombudsman do their job. you'll win handsdown you dont obv owe OVO p'haps anything at all.  dont worry about Past Due credit or any other DCA ( THEY ARE NOT BAILIFFS!) as for you being added to the debt, thats quite OK, you were a resident adult and equally liable under law. once you start getting things moving via the  ombudsman dont forget to get your credit files cleansed of any negative data & seek compensation for distress etc, again the  ombudsman should sort both out for you. as you are now NOT a customer of OVO, there is very very little they can do to you now.

    • DN is ok DCA NOA is ok, though not one from Newday saying they've sold it. agreement states esigned on a sunday at 11am?? really??  but no typed names or tick box nor any IP address used. if the date is correct then poss ok, it that your correct address for that time of take out? but if not, then that could simply be a copy of someone elses they've used with you details copy'n'pasted over theirs. the agreement details separate T&C's in at least 8.4. a full set of T&C containing your correct address for the time MUST be included. failure renders the agreement unenforceable... have you the T&C's too? dx

    • 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 have posted details before of bailiffs being found guilty of THEFT !!! Here is yet ANOTHER ONE.......

 

If you cannot trust a bailiff.......who can you trust....

 

What is the world coming to !!!

Andrew Arthur, of Richmond Road, Ipswich, was given a 16-month prison sentence, suspended for 18 months, by South East Suffolk Magistrates’ Court after admitting theft between June 6, 2011, and November 30, 2011.

The court heard Arthur – who had worked as a bailiff for 21 years – was ashamed of his behaviour and had paid back the £4,478.79 he siphoned off after collecting it from an offender.

Wayne Ablett, prosecuting, said an internal investigation began when the 44-year-old was accused by an offender of keeping the money he had given Arthur to pay outstanding amounts of cash.

When confronted, Arthur submitted his resignation and made a full admission to what he had done.

The court was told he took the cash because he had a gambling habit, which he is now seeking to conquer with professional help.

References were handed in to the court including one from Arthur’s current employer praising his integrity and honesty.

Absolutely astonishing. The way some bailiffs treat the people they collect from - this bailiff steals and pretty much gets away with it!!

Any way we can find out who his employers are?

 

I wonder whether he can serve his community service working as an unpaid debt collector?

Good detective work TT.

 

These reports are extremely worrying, and illustrates something is seriously amiss within the enforcement industry.

 

Doubtless MOJ will aver that increasing fees will cure these actions.

This one concerns a bailiff who was working for Rossendales Ltd. This one is REALLY strange and there MUST be something else going on here ????

 

http://www.redditchadvertiser.co.uk/news/9746374.Court_bailiff_denies_stealing_from_his_own_Redditch_firm/

 

I agree, very odd as the amount was just £233.00 !!

 

 

 

This one worked for Rossendales and is another one for the "Hall of Shame"

 

 

http://www.bexleytimes.co.uk/news/bailiff_admits_to_20_000_theft_from_pensioner_1_611175

 

A BAILIFF who befriended a woman in her 80s and then stole over £20,000 from her must wait until next month to hear his fate.

 

The fact that an elderly woman in her 80's was being subjected to bailiffs in itself was shameful!

Perhaps Mr Boast is an arms length self employed casual trainer at Rossers.

I remember coming across some of these a while back. Its totally disgraceful how their employers defend their bailiffs, give out the excuses that they were under stress, but yet cannot give the debtor the same compassion.

 

There should be a list made public of all the rogue bailiffs, that have been to court and have had complaints made against them. They should also NOT be allowed to work in the bailiff industry again.

That should be what is done at the very least, as it is rogue bailiffs are free like self employed debt collectors to freely go from one firm to another without it would seem even a cursory check.

I am currently helping a forum poster who having requested a breakdown of the fees charged to him finds most of the questionable charges arise from the former bailiff handling his case.......John Boast.!!!

 

Rossendale have sent a letter which clearly states they will not be removing any of the charges as they believe Mr Boast applied them correctly.....

 

Cummon Mrs Jones...do you really intend to stand up in Court (yes that is where it is heading and the claim names you as well as your company) and defend the charges of a nationally exposed fraudster????

 

Anyone faced with charges from previous dealings with your crooked bailiffs should automatically have them removed, clearly they are questionable and raise more than doubt to having been legally applied.

In the case of the fees charged by Rossendales, it is almost certainly the case that a complaint should be sent to the Local Authority as the LA are "wholly responsible for the levy and fees charged by THEIR AGENTS.
