    • You haven't returned to the thread to give us your views, but a couple of other things strike me which you should consider: 1. You say that at no time was your father's licence revoked by the DVLA. It didn't have to be revoked. It expired in September and his "entitlement to drive" (of which the licence provides proof) expired along with it. He could only continue driving whilst his application was being processed by virtue of s88, and it seems clear to me (based on what you have said) that he was not able to take advantage of the benefits provided by that section. 2. The letter he received threatening to revoke his licence was probably a template letter sent when any medical issues are brought to the attention of the DVLA. But it is clear that beyond September until it was eventually renewed, your father had no valid licence to be revoked. I believe a "not guilty" plea in court will fail. The basic facts are that your father's licence expired in September, it was not renewed until February because the DVLA were looking into his medical declaration and he could not take advantage of s88. So in December he had no licence and no entitlement to drive under s88. The facts that he believed he was fit to drive and that his licence was eventually renewed may mitigate the offence but they do not provide a defence. I also asked whether he had received a summons (very unusual these days) or whether he had received a "Single Justice Procedure Notice". The way to proceed from here differs slightly depending on what he has received so if you let me know, I'll advise further.  
    • Well, what I've read from various sources suggest if a CCJ is 6 years old that if becomes pretty much ineffective for enforcement purposes in its original form.  And that if it's about to expire then the claimant needs to apply to the court to extend the original CCJ within the final year.  Even if they do apply for an extension within the 6 years they have to have a very strong argument for doing so such as the person being out of the country or could not be traced, basically show they were actively still perusing the debt I guess. Now if a claimant ever does apply within the 6 years to extend the CCJ, would the person named on if be notified by the court that such an application has been made?.  In my case I've heard nothing from the court so assume no such application has been made.  The original CCJ in my own case is now a year beyond the 6 years of issue so must now make things even less likely again. So whilst the CCJ exists that they have not enforced it in that time must surely make it unlikely they can now take it back to court because as said it would be very rare for a judge to agree to such action now. That said, I guess they now can't use the CCJ to continue with any action for an attachment order to our mortgage either?

    • Well, they trashed their last election manifesto pledges, so nothing new really is it? They just find weasel words to try to claim they haven't actually failed if you just look at it just a little squinted and in this particular way  - and are stupid.
    • I think they're inventing stuff now. They seem to know they won't be around to implement any of it.

    • 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 stupidly took a pay day loan out with these people as my partner has been on long term sick. When i looked on there repayment schedule it didnt make any sense. This month it was 98.00 then next month it was 158.00. I asked if i could set up a new repayment pan and offered to pay 35 this month and next and when my partner returned back to work in May i could pay a lot more.

They sent me an email back with an explanation why the payments were different each month but it didnt make any sense to me. They have asked me to email them an I+E and my payslip and wont take any payments till the 22nd April. At the bottom of the email it goes on to say that if i want to set up a new repayment plan to get in touch with them. This is what i have done and they seemed to have ignored it do you think they have done this on purpose. It states on my account that i borrowed 315 and that total repayment is 409 but according to the schedule i am clearly paying more than that. I have sent them a further email this morning stating that i have asked for a new repayment plan and i am offering to pay something i just cant afford what is on the schedule for the next two months. Any advice on these people will be greatly recieved.:???:

Dear renegadeimp

 

This is the email that was sent on Saturday am.

 

We provide short term loans at the rate of 30% interest per month. In the first month you pay just the interest on the borrowed amount. For a six month loan from the second month onwards you pay 20% of your principal (loan amount) plus the interest on the outstanding principal, so that your loan gets paid off in full in six months. Therefore, the payments defers from month to month. At any point of time, if you wish to pay off your loan, you will pay the outstanding principal plus the interest on the outstanding principal for that month.

 

Moreover, We do understand that you are experiencing financial difficulty and we are willing to help you in this matter. So, to set the payment plan for your loan agreement please send your income and expenditure details in a non-editable format in the attached spread sheet along with your latest pay slip (PDF, JPEG or JPG).

 

Once, we will receive the relevant documents from your end, we will proceed with your concern accordingly.

 

Furthermore, we have stopped our automated system to make the transaction from your bank account till 22-04-2013.

 

If you wish to discuss setting up a new payment plan, please contact our

helpful team of payment negotiators on 0845 351 1482 from Monday to

Saturday 8 a.m to 8 p.m, or email us at [email protected] if you have any further question.

    Hey there, just did some sums on the figures seem correct, easy way to work it out is

     

    Loan amount x 1.3

     

    First month you don't clear any capital just cover the interest of £94.50

     

    From then on you clear as stated 20% of the capital I.e 315 - 63 which leaves capital of £252 then there's interest added which takes the amount owed back up to £327.6 and this goes on for six months until its cleared. You pay a lot more for the loan if you don't clear it early which is what they are hoping for

     

    Think what's confusing you is that this is an instalment loan rather than a standard payday loan, I've had a few of them and it took me ages to work it out.

     

    Hope you can get rid of them soon, you will get great advice on here from those with more knowledge than me

    Dear All

     

    They have now sent me an email this morning to say that my account is in default and they have added £12 to the account. They have ignored the fact i asked to pay a lower amount for the next two months in my first email i have sent them two emails since then and they have ignored them also. The email that they sent said they would defer payment till April then they have tried to take the payment yesterday dont really know what to do next.

    Is that £12 a default fee or late payment fee.

    Ok so that fee is legit and enforceable. I would send them a letter of complaint, detailing your issue and what you want achieved. This sounds like an extended loan too, and not a payday loan, so it doesnt quite abide by the same rules as a 30 day payday loan does.

    Hey, I understand your concern. Don worry, there is a collections team working for this lender, you can reach out to them by calling 08453511482. Just ask to transfer to collections team. They will help you with an alternate payment plan.

     

    One of my friend in UK took out a loan and then had difficulty in paying back, so he approached their collection manager and got a new plan.

     

    Try calling them.

    ^ not great advice....

     

    If avoidable, NEVER phone a payday/installment loan company unless you can record the call.

     

    Not saying this particular company WOULD, but a lot of these company's are known to bully, harass and intimidate callers.

     

    Deal with it in writing or via email only to ensure a paper trail.

    It never rains but it pours...

    Please do not tell posters to call a pdl. Especially one with a very dubious history.
