    • Paragraph 18 – you are still talking about Boston stolen items. About time this was fixed??? Paragraph 19  In any event, the claimant's PS5 gaming device was correctly declared and correctly valued. The defendant accepted it for carriage and was even prepared to earn extra money by selling sell insurance in case of its loss or damage. New paragraph 20 – this the defendant routinely sells insurance in respect of "no compensation" items (a secondary contract contrary to section 72 CRA 2015) new paragraph above paragraph 20 – the defendant purports to limit its liability in respect of lost or damaged items. This is contrary to section 57 of the consumer rights act 2015. The defendant offers to extend their liability if their customer purchases an insurance cover for an extra sum of money. This insurance is a secondary contract calculated to exclude or limit their liability for the defendants contractual breaches and is contrary to section 72 of the consumer rights act 2015. New paragraph below paragraph 42 – the defendant merely relies on "standard industry practice" You haven't pointed to the place in your bundle of the Telegraph newspaper extract. You have to jiggle the paragraphs around. Even though I have suggested new paragraph numbers, the order I have suggested is on your existing version 5. You will have to work it out for your next version. Good luck!   Let's see version 6 Separately, would you be kind enough to send me an unredacted to me at our admin email address.
    • i think theres been MORE than amble evidence of that and am astonished that criminal proceedings haven't begun.
    • Yep, those 'requirements' not met to shareholders satisfaction seem to me to be: 1. Not being allowed to increase customer bills by 40% (of which well over 50% of the new total would NOT be investment) 2. 1 plus regulators not agreeing to letting them do 'things in their own time (ie carry on regardless)
    • As already mentioned freely available "credit scores" are fairly useless. All lenders have their own "credit scoring" system, that for obvious reasons they don't divulge. And they're "scored" differently to the freely available ones. As soon as they could, we've always encouraged our two children to use credit cards responsibly... Pay off in full, etc, to generate good history. It's paid off. At quite young ages, they have both obtained loans for cars, mortgage and their credit card limits are through the roof. Personally, I have shifted debt around a lot on credit cards (even financed a house purchase once at 0% 😉) and I've only ever been refused a credit card once, sorry twice by the same company, over many years. They must have something very different in their lending criteria. You're a tight one, Mr Branson.

    • 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, hoping someone can advise.

 

My car is not running at the moment and has been parked up my drive on SORN, I had to move it out last week to get access to my drive. So I parked the car outside my house and put the battery on charge.

 

Was supposed to put it back on the drive at weekend but didn't and of course this morning a road tax van spots it and clamps it.

 

I went out to explain, but they were having none of it. Clamped it and said it was being impounded unless i paid £260, or i could collect it from impound for £260 + £21 per day. I had to pay the £260 there and then.

 

I know my fault, but just wanted to check a couple of things:

 

1) To insure the car and get its tax would be more than the £260 - so if I do nothing and lose the £260 is that the end of the matter?

I have now moved the car onto the drive again (and confirmed it is still sorn)

 

2) as the car had no insurance will the police become involved and fine me through the post?

 

Any help appreciated

Unfortunately thems the rules now. As far as i know, the DVLA will act under the new continuous insurance enforcement rules which state that a vehicle must either be SORNd or taxed and insured. If it is SORNd then it MUST NOT be kept on a public road at any time. I believe that if you do nothing, you car will be crushed but i think you will still be liable for a penalty (I am happy to be corrected on that though). https://www.gov.uk/vehicle-insurance/uninsured-vehicles

 

The good news is that driving without insurance is a separate offence so it is doubtful that the police will be involved unless you have been caught/reported for doing so.

Thanks for reply - not sure if i follow

 

I have paid the £260 fine and moved the car off the road, is that the end of it as the car is still sorn?

 

Sorry, I missed that bit. I would check with the DVLA to see if the SORN is still effective and if there is any intention of them pursing the matter further. You could run a check here https://www.taxdisc.direct.gov.uk/EvlPortalApp/app/enquiry?execution=e1s2 which will state the vehicle status.

It won't be a further 'Fine', but what they may do is claim for the unpaid duty from when the last licence expired.

 

Hi,

There shouldn't be any back dated unpaid duty to pay as long as the car was continously 'sorned' both before & after you moved the car. As you said you checked this then you will be okay.

 

It's such a shame thou that just by removing your car from the drive to the road & back cost you £260!! That was some bad luck to get caught out this way, but as another poster said it's the law now.

 

Regards

I don't suffer from insanity, I enjoy every single minute of it!!

Don't think that is true i'm afraid. If you breach the terms of your SORN, it would invalidate it thus meaning that any duty would be due from when the last valid disc expired. Again, I am happy to be proven wrong.

See the Vehicles Excise & Registration Act 1994, Section 29. 3A, (a) & (b), Section 30. (1) & (2) & Section 31. (1) & (2) which explains the liability for the outstanding duty for using or keeping a SORN vehicle on a public road.

Many thank to both Sailor Sam & Raykay, for the correct information.

 

Previously I was led to believe that as long as your vehicle is sorned continously without a break then no back dated duty was due. So that's true BUT only if it's parked on a drive etc & NOT at anytime moved onto a public road (whatever the reason).

 

So in this case would the OP have to pay all back dated duty from when the car was originally sorned?

 

Regards & thank again :)

Unless I'm reading your post incorrectly, your car was without MOT, SORNed and no insurance, yet you moved it onto the road.
