    • Fair enough. But I don't understand why they send these letters. Do people really get scared and end up paying them?
    • That's a blessed relief. They would have been withdrawn because, as I said, they have no evidence that you were driving. That comes from the responses to the requests for driver's details which you failed to send. The important thing is that the speeding charges were laid. That makes life much easier (and far more likely to see a successful outcome). You need to make your SD and serve it on the court where you were convicted. The next you should hear is by way of a "Single Justice Procedure Notice" laying the four charges against you again. You will have three options (for each charge): Plead Guilty and do not attend court Plead guilty and attend court Plead not guilty You must plead Not Guilty to all charges. In the section headed “reason for not guilty plea” you can state that you will offer to plead guilty to the speeding charging providing, and only providing, the FtP charges are dropped. This is a procedure well known to all court users (prosecutors, magistrates and their legal advisors) and is carried out up and down the land daily. I’ll refer to it as “the deal”. Before the pandemic it was necessary to attend court to undertake this deal and speak to the prosecutor (the agreement of the prosecutor is required as the court cannot accept it without that agreement).  However, during the pandemic courts aimed to reduce the numbers of people required to attend to an absolute minimum and most courts accepted a written request to do the deal. Local police prosecutors made an agreement with their courts that the magistrates’ legal advisors could accept the deal. In some areas this arrangement has carried on. In others they have reverted to the old process where attendance was required. So your offer of the “deal” with either be accepted in writing and dealt with under the Single Justice procedure or you may have to attend court. In either event it is important to emphasise that you will plead guilty to speeding only if the FtP charges are dropped.  There may be slight variations to the process depending on how the individual area works but there is no reason why this should not be successful.    
    • Yes thank you dx, my sentiments exactly.  We don't have access to his credit report to see the CCJ.  We were just told by the Estate Agency who he was trying to act as a guarantor for me.......  I can get a free one for a month I believe.  
    • I would say it's snotty letter time. You can do a search on CAG for examples of what other people have sent. Don't make it too polite. HB

    • 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.

personally i think voting has become about choosing the lesser of two evils you have to vote to keep the worst out and not the best in

 

They are all the same. Puppets for the large corporations/private bankers.

 

Have a look at this (it is about the US, but it is the same here):- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PYZpWTvre9c

I don't understand the obsession with getting disabled people into work when there's 2.6 million plus people out there who are unemployed and can work.

 

Becoming disabled is not life style choice unlike having children therefore if disabled people want to work then why not... I do not like your attitude toward disbale people. The government has been trying to make it very difficult for disabled people to survive making them go for reassessment to get benefits ot live on... are they suppose to die and that would be a big saving for the goverment. :x:mad2::mad2:

think you have taken Nystagmite post out of context.

I agree with you on something though being disabled is not a life style choice, but having children is, are you saying then the goverment should target the ones who keep having children whilst on benefit?

A lot of people who have children on benefit are disabled...

No easy answer

What has happened to society? Wasn't it the case that not long ago you lived at home until you could afford to get married and bought/rented your own home?

By which time you were working and able to pay your own way?

 

Now it just seems that at 17/18 with no job, no prospects, they expect to house/flat share with friends with the taxpayer funding their rent payments.

That to me is not the way things are done. If you can't afford to move out, have no job how can somebody have the nerve to expect that?

 

I stayed at home. paying lodge money to my mum & dad until I was 28 - 3 years ago. I had saved up, done without, had two jobs, all because I wanted to buy my own place. Am I abnormal? It seems I am.

To get benefit at 17/18 you usually have to BE estranged from your parents so if they are in that situation surely they deserve some help.

They dont normally ask to be thrown out of the famiily home, their parents do it for them

 

should we just let them live in the hedge then. :(

IMO at least the Tories are trying to do somthing about the benefit culture the other lot just seem to want to give out more and more benefits. Not saying that the current Government are going about it the right way but at least its prompting debate and who knows one day someone may come up with an answer, wont be in my lifetime though.

If I have been of any help, please click on my star and let me know, thank you.

All that is happening is Cameron is going back to basics. The National Assistance Act 1948 started it all off with a nice & simple system.

It was a safety net for those who hadn't paid any National Insurance.

Secondly it was designed to remove the poverty that pensioners found themselves in.

I don't see why we can't go back to where it all started - those that work look after themselves, those in need and have no recourse to any other funding get help.

 

Where in the original idea does it say that capable 20 year olds should have their rent paid for them

 

The National Assistance Act 1948 is an Act of Parliament passed in the United Kingdom by the Labour government of Clement Attlee. Itformally abolished the Poor Law system that had existed since the reign ofElizabeth I and established a social safety net for thosewho did not pay National Insurance contributions (such as the homeless, thephysically handicapped, and unmarried mothers) and were thereforeleft uncovered by the National Insurance Act 1946 and the National Insurance(Industrial Injuries) Act 1946. It also provided help toelderly Britons who required supplementary benefits to make a subsistenceliving,[2] and obliged local authorities to provide suitable accommodation forthose who through infirmity, age, or any other reason were in need of care andattention not otherwise available.

Where does is say that they cant then?

And some 20 years havent paid any stamps because there are no jobs out there, my daughter just landed first job, thirteen months of trying, but luckily lives with me for now, well looks like for a long time to come

Have you ever claimed housing benefit then?

If you have, who are you to say somebody else shouldnt be entitled then?

Camoron has a chance to really hack people off in time for a Scottish vote to depart from Westminster, and then have enough time to try to patch it up a little before the general election, after losing so many Scottish labour MPs from the house.

Amianne you have said one thing right... Cameron is taking things back...... but not to basics to the Draconian age.....

In my life I have lived through recessions etc but never as bad as this one. I thought the Thatcher years were bad but this government are continually widening the Rich Poor divide. One of the worst things they are doing is causing those who are lucky enough to be in full time employment and healthy enough to hold down a job turn against those who aren't by using the press to shout their damning propaganda.

 

As I said in an earlier post on this thread, MPs get their 2nd houses paid for, furnished, and runninng costs... is this right? Not in my opinion...... It is hypocritical especially on Cameron's behalf as he has received benefits when he did not financially need them.

 

I am in receipt of HB and ESA, am I a scrounger? No I have worked all my life untill being hit with a degenerative disease for which there is no cure for.

We do not live in a benefit Culture we live in a hypocritical culture where people are quick to stereotype an individual before ascertaining the facts to their situation

Indeed, sadone, very scary. As things stand, come the next election I don't know who I'll vote for. I'm sure it won't be one of the three main parties. Never again ...

might the reason people give to claim housing benefit is that their are no jobs out there

those that are out there are mostly minimum wage, fixed term or zero hour contracts

no traning or apprenticeships

all affordable housing sold off, landlords asking to high rents, what about rent caps

 

not everybody works in the financial industry

give us back a manufacturing industry

 

employment is a RIGHT

not a privilege

They have made it just as the big multi-nationals wants people really afraid of losing there jobs and will end up giving employer hours of free labour just to keep their employment. This is staff contacts to stay behind and tidy up the large retailer’s floor for free and this could be up giving free labour for up to 10 hours a week.

Wonder what is next on their agenda for everyone, I bet it will be not be a 5% tax cut like boy George gave to their millionaire friends and themselves the front cabinet. The rest of us can go and eat cake.

Boy George had no problems in making the poorest pensioners pay for that nice benefit for them. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr It is enough to make you want to vote for BNP next time around.

I could never vote for them as their policies would mean my grandson and his father would be in line to be kicked out of the country due to black ancestry - not to mention my gay/bi family members, and probably the disabled, and also myself....

 

No. BNP ain't for me.

I may be getting a little confused here but from what i can deduce when children leave home the parents are now forced to move into a single bedroomed house or have their HB cut, so these families wont have any room for the kids to move into anyway.
