    • dont go near them bunch of scammers! ive removed ref. dx  
    • I used to post regularly in order to provide factual information (rather than advice) but got fed up with banging my head against a brick wall in so many cases when posters insisted black was white and I was writing rubbish. I have never posted anything which was untrue or indeed biased in any way.  I have never given 'advice' but have sought to correct erroneous statements which were unhelpful. The only username I have ever used is blf1uk. I have never gone under any other username and have no connection to 'bailiff advice'.  I am not a High Court Enforcement Officer but obtained my first 'bailiff' certificate in 1982. I'm not sure what records you have accessed but I was certainly not born in 1977 - at that time I was serving in the Armed Forces in Hereford, Germany (4th Division HQ) and my wife gave birth to our eldest.   Going back to the original point, the fact is that employees of an Approved Enforcement Agency contracted by the Ministry of Justice can and do execute warrants of arrest (with and without bail), warrants of detention and warrants of commitment. In many cases, the employee is also an enforcement agent [but not acting as one]. Here is a fact.  I recently submitted an FOI request to HMCTS and they advised me (for example) that in 2022/23 Jacobs (the AEA for Wales) was issued with 4,750 financial arrest warrants (without bail) and 473 'breach' warrants.  A breach warrant is a community penalty breach warrant (CPBW) whereby the defendant has breached the terms of either their release from prison or the terms of an order [such as community service].  While the defendant may pay the sum [fine] due to avoid arrest on a financial arrest warrant, a breach warrant always results in their transportation to either a police station [for holding] or directly to the magistrates' court to go before the bench as is the case on financial arrest warrants without bail when they don't pay.  Wales has the lowest number of arrest warrants issued of the seven regions with South East exceeding 50,000.  Overall, the figure for arrest warrants issued to the three AEAs exceeds 200,000.  Many of these were previously dealt with directly by HMCTS using their employed Civilian Enforcement Officers but they were subject to TUPE in 2019 and either left the service or transferred to the three AEAs. In England, a local authority may take committal proceedings against an individual who has not paid their council tax and the court will issue a committal summons.  If the person does not attend the committal hearing, the court will issue a warrant of arrest usually with bail but occasionally without bail (certainly without bail if when bailed on their own recognizance the defendant still fails to appear).   A warrant of arrest to bring the debtor before the court is issued under regulation 48(5) of The Council Tax (Administration and Enforcement) Regulations 1992 and can be executed by "any person to whom it is directed or by any constable....." (Reg 48(6).  These, although much [much] lower in number compared to HMCTS, are also dealt with by the enforcement agencies contracted by the local authorities. Feel free to do your own research using FOI enquiries!  
    • 3rd one seems the best option, let 'em default, don't pay a penny, nothing will happen, forget about all of this. As for Payplan don't touch them with a bargepole, nothing they can do that you can't, and they will pocket fees. A do it yourself DMP is pointless as it will just string out the statute barred date to infinity.
    • Because that’s what the email said. Anyway it’s done now. Posted and image emailed.    im doing some reading in preparation for defence but I will need my hand holding quite tightly by you good people.  I’m a little bit clueless

    • 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.

Just An update

 

My wife cant start the job untill 1st of july now at the NHS as she has to have some injections to protect her from mumps ? and they cant do them untill the 27th june :(

 

 

SO HER FIRST WAGE WILL BE AT THE END OF JULY ! :(

she got offerd the job 12th may and it has been delayed several weeks due to medical and clearance checks

 

still no reply as yet and no phone calls regarding my offer to pay 28th this month

 

i CAN afford to pay them the cmi + £200 on the 28th june ,

but then we will have a new payment due 1st of july of which i can afford to pay weekly

 

 

then by the end of july we can make a full payment ready for the 1st of august payment and we will be then back upto date ( upon making double payments in july)

should i call them ?

or write to them ?

 

im starting to panic as if they dont accept weekly payments in july

- for julys payment they will go straight for repossession

even tho technically i will be paying the month amount due in the same month its due

Regards

markez

 

in English

1st june due payment - Paying end of june

1st July Payment due - paying weekly starting 1st july (splitting it over 3 weeks )

- so be paid by 18 th july

 

1st August Payment due - Paying at end of july so back upto date

 

Due to the nature of my wifes delay getting her start date at new employment we have no choice

am i asking for trouble

 

Regards

Markez

ok Thanks DX

will it have a massive effect on my case if it goes to court ?

as i have genuine circumstances that we have a paper trail for

shall i just send a proposal letter of the payments i am going to make ?

im not very good with the letters lol

 

All the payments due for this month and july will be paid in the same months they are due - just not on the due date

is it reasonable to ask kenny if i can change the due date to the end of the month instead of the beginning so then they wont actually be late payments > ?

Hi - suggested letter -

 

 

Further to our previous letter of (date) advising the need to make adjustments to our payments in June & July due to Mrs XXX's new job - unfortunately the start date has been delayed until 1st July. Therefore we will have to schedule payments as follows:

 

 

1st June payment - Paying end of June as previously advised

1st July payment- we will start paying weekly starting 1st July (splitting it over 3 weeks ) therefore the payment will be paid in full by 18th July.

 

We trust you find the above proposal acceptable.

 

 

Yours faithfully etc.

- saying they haven't received the payment due on the 1st of june

of which i sent the letter that ell helped me explaining i will pay at the end of june recorded Delivery and it was signed for on the 3rd june - of which i have proof

 

They are now stating i have to contact them with 15 days of the letter of which will be the 23rd june !!

not leaving me much time to reply

it also states that they may instruct their solicitors to claim possession :( :( as there is a suspended possession court order

 

im going to have to get a new letter done today and sent out first class next day delivery as

(i Have sent the other letter stating when i will be paying in july

 

looks like they where just waiting for us to slip up and then pounce again

- we haven't missed a payment since august last year (last court date )

 

and this payment was due on 1st june of which we are paying on the 28th as stated

 

Really worried now

Hi there - if they signed for the letter on 3rd June which was a Saturday - it would not have gone anywhere in their offices till the Monday (5th) - they don't deal with letters straight away anyway and the letter you received dated 8th June will have been instigated by their system a couple of days before so it's entirely possible that no-one read your letter until after they had sent one to you.

 

 

I'd wait a few days and see if anything else turns up from them.
