    • It's a GR Yaris - Finance is with Alphera, who are part of BMW I believe. I'm sure the unit is very expensive to repair, I have even told them I would be happy with a refurbished/reconditioned unit, in trying to be reasonable as well.
    • Without seeing this envelope, document and sticker it is impossible to advise properly. However, just going on what you have told us, there are two ways you can deal with this: !. The easy way. This has the lowest risk but the guarantee of a penalty for speeding.  You can respond to the SJPN by pleading “Not Guilty” to both charges. In the “Reasons for pleading Not Guilty” box you can explain that you responded to the request for driver’s details but it was recently returned to you, seemingly not actioned. However, you are willing to plead guilty to the speeding charge providing, and only providing, the “Fail to Provide Driver's Details" (FtP) charge is dropped. You could also ask the court to consider sentencing you at the fixed penalty level (£100 and 3 points) as this prosecution seems to be the result of an administrative problem outside your control. 2. The not so easy way with higher risk. This could see you convicted of the FtP charge but has the possibility that you escape with no penalty whatsoever. You can do the same – plead not guilty to both charges. You can mention in the “Reasons” box that you returned the request for driver’s details as required. If you go down this route the speeding charge cannot succeed as they have no evidence you were driving. This comes from your response to the request for driver’s details which the police say they have not got. You will then face a trial for the FtP charge and you can produced your response together with the envelope and sticker showing it had been returned to you. The risk with this is that if your defence fails you will be fined a week and a half’s net income, pay a “Victim Surcharge” of 40% of the fine, pay prosecution costs of around £650 and have six points together with an endorsement code (MS90) which will see your insurance premiums rocket.

    • 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.

If there are no arrears then there can be no possesion. Have you been in contact with the lender to explain why you are in arrears and when you expect to clear them ?

 

What date is the hearing ?

The hearing date is 18th June, Capstone tried to do this once before when I was in credit, they actually sent me a letter stating arrears £0. I only received the letter tonight when I got home, but last time they said it was because my payments were erratic due to being self emloyed the payment dates are always different, they have charged me a late payment fee or management fee every month for as long as I can remember but I have always just added it onto my monthly payment. I did not know they had changed their name again, I thought it was Ascenden now.

Well I have phoned them and they say they have not recieved my last 4 payment £1650. I sent these by bank transfer and these amounts are showing as going out of my account, i have to phone on friday to see if they have located them. Other than that I only owed £196 which is this months as I over paid last month, I paid that over the phone, however they charged me £5 to do it. They said they cannot cancel the hearing, but would consider it, if the payment was found. My bank statement does show details of these payments.

I bet as soon as you send in a defence to the possession claim they'll find your payments pretty sharpish. They won't want a judge giving them a hard time

 

Did you put your account number as a reference in the transaction ? Might be worth checking with Halifax that all the payments went through ok.

Yep, my account reference was on their, this was set up quite a while ago and they have always received the payments ok before, however when I telephoned them, they said they had no correspondance details or phone numbers for me, as I did not live at the property anymore, I informed them that I did and had to give them all the information again. I have come in from work today to a letter from Lightfoots addressed to the occupier, saying there is going to be a repossession hearing. I have checked with the Halifax this afternoon and they say that the payments went through ok and have not been returned. I go away to China on business in the next couple of weeks, I could have easily missed this and come back to no house.

Hi

 

Just an Idea write to company concerned asking for conformation that the ammount has not been recieved and once you get the letter contact Halifax and ask to speak to fraud team and forward them the letter.

 

If that company are saying they didnt recieve it and the bank are saying they did pass it back to the bank to investigate. (certainly wont look good if bank do investigate and it turns out the company did actually recieve)

No set date yet, provisionaly early June, but I'm going to try to put it off. Do you think I would be better paying the £1650 again with a card until they find my original payments.

There's plenty of time for them to find the payments before you go away, I wouldn't pay them any more money yet. Can you get print offs of each of the transactions you made from your internet banking ? If so, photocopy them and send to them with a covering letter asking why they haven't been allocated to your account.

Well I phoned them today, offering to fax through bank statements, strangely after contacting their finance dept, they have found my payments and I was informed my account was upto date. However they informed me that they have been charging me per month £5 for paying by bank transfer, £35 late payment fee and £115 for the account being with the litigation dept, and previously to the litigation £85 management fee. I do round up my mortgage from £335 to £550 every month to cover any fees and this is why I haven't gone any further into arrears, but isn't this a bit excessive. She told me the only way to avoid paying a £5 was to pay using their website, and to pay at least 7 days before the 1st to avoid late payment fees as thats how long it takes to get to their account even with instant bank transfer.

You don't want it adjourned - you want it cancelled. If there are no arrears then there is no case to adjourn.

They did say they would adjourn it, not cancel it so that it could be heard again at a later date if any arrears appear on the account. If they do not receive the £335 for June by the 1st they said they will press for repossession, but they did say that they will confirm in writing that they have found the missing payments and there is at the moment no arrears on the account, but she couldn't be sure if they would be adding any more charges this month, and these would need to be paid with my June mortgage payment. I think they want me to have to go to court.
