    • @Man in the middle I've been searching the forum and you seem very knowledgeable. Would you mind giving a look at my query please? Thanks in advance!!
    • Thanks for this! I'm still not clear if I'm facing more than 6 points on my license though. Can you explain any further please? When I accept the 2nd speeding ticket, will they just charge me £100 and 3 points, or will they be more severe concenquences since that offense took place the following day of the 1st offense? Similarly, when I accept the 3rd offense, will they look at my record or just charge me with the £100 fine and 3 points?
    • Yes of course. That's why it says cc:: BIg Motoring World at the bottom. Don't imagine that this solves the issue. It doesn't. He not have to force the finance company and big motoring world to accept the rejection to give your money back. I suggest that you get the letter off tomorrow. And let us know what you hear but on Friday you should then send a threat to the finance company.   Have a look what I have said here about your options and read the whole thread as well.  
    • Been perusing the actual figures on the polls above wondering where the '16% claimed for deform comes from? I understand that there are 'weighted' end results based on secret calculations ...   Probably going to repeat this later, but remember that the ukip/brexit/reform/deform party has ALWAYS had poll speculation FAR better than their actual  performance at elections - by large margins. SO: The labor and Tory votes come largely from simply the people who say they will vote for them - sorted Lab 43% Tory 20%, with maybe another small 1-2% coming from the weightings of the 'not sures' Greens largely get what is declared from 'other' , although with another declared green bit from the 'pressed' question   So as the share of the voting displayed in 'other' granted to reform/deform is around 11%, where does the '16% too often being reported come from? Seems that reform has been granted as beneficiary of effectively ALL the don't knows and wont says, who when pressed didn't actually declare for someone else ... effectively adding 40%+ to their reported polling % - rather strange given their consistent under-performance compared to polling - or perhaps that is the cause of the higher rating eh?   Now I admit the possibility (probability?) of wingers being ashamed of declaring their support for the yuckey lemon end of the spectrum ... but surely  that should affect the 'Torys as well? Maybe the statisticians have simply weighted in that deform wingers are simply more likely to lie?   But - without 'weightings' and assumptions that faragits will get everything that isnt declared as a definite and unequivocal 'not that Piers Morgan' - reform is on around 11% it seems.   Add to that the history of polling a lot less than the hype - and the simple fact that faragit wingers seem to be spread across the country (presumably skulking in their moms spare room despite being 45+) and greens and lib dems seem to be community minded - I think two seats will be an epic result for farage. Hardly the opposition - far more raving wingnut party.   and importantly - Has farage got a home in clacton yet?

    • 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.

Hello ppl its been a while after a house move and stuff but back in 2010 you all helped me fight a bailiff that assaulted me. Tonight my neighbour got a shock when a bailiff walked through there door at half 6 he has gone round the house after a officer allowed him in and stood intimidating a woman while 2 kids sat crying and shaking. I intervened told them it was against all rules to turn up after 6 they said the notes i had where dated from 2010 so counted for nothing. Have these changed? i picked up one of the children 4 yr old and she was shaking like a leaf i went to door told them it was time for him to leave there was a child in extreme distress they asked him to hurry and they did leave but after telling me i was not involved and could say nothing i then informed them to contact there inspector murry the officer who reprimanded 11 police officers for bringing a bailiff into my home

"It is unacceptable for councils to employ burly bailiffs with

heavy-handed tactics like kicking down doors, making phantom visits or

charging excessive fees it is unfair and damages a councils

standing in the community.

 

Today our new guidance is crystal clear: it is time to stop the dodgy

practices where town halls collect contractual kickbacks from bailiffs

that will do almost anything to make money."

bailiffs can knock a property between 6am and 9pm

 

 

There is a difference between knocking on the door and what the OP has described above ?

Hiya police where there as the bloke was gonna throw the bailiff through the door, It's for council tax i no when i had the trouble i did the rules where that they where not allowed to turn up before a certain time and after 6pm i dont no a great deal more will find out this morning if there was letters sent and so on i just want to be able to give them some basic info bailiff was very smug and up himself they did not like that i went in and made him feel so small the fact that there was a 4 yr old shaking like a leaf and crying and a 10 yr old sat in a ball in her room rocking and crying has really annoyed me

A bailiff can indeed attend a debtors property after 6pm and the guidance given under the National Standards for Enforcement Agents is 9pm.

 

I cannot see this changing given that if a person is in employment, he will most likely return home after 6pm.

 

PS: I am sorry to hear of your neighbour's problem and sadly, complaints against bailiffs are at an all time high. Local authorities are not a lot better !!!

I am sat with the inventory the bailiff left i no from my own experiance how some things can and can not be listed is it still the case that they can not list items that are on finance ? and that if it does not amount to cover debt and costs it voids the levy also on this there is no first or second visit fee just a levy fee of £56 and walking possession fee of £12 dont they have to go through 1st and 2nd visits first ?

They can levy on first visit, but cannot charge for a visit fee and a levy fee on the same day.

 

Items on finance shouldnt really be placed on a levy, however I think it all depends on what finance it is and what the item is. It can be challenged.

Tonight my neighbour got a shock when a bailifflink3.gif walked through there door at half 6 he has gone round the house after a officer allowed him in

 

can you explain what happened before the officer arrived ?

 

 

can someone tell me if a debtor refused a bailiff entry to their property (council tax and their was no previous entry)and the bailiff used the police to gain enter to debtors property to levy goods

would this still be classed as peaceful enter therefore the levy would be valid ?

Looks to me to be an invalid levy.

 

I would get them to place a complaint with the council copying it to the bailiff company.

 

I would send some proof that the TV is on finance and as for levying the sofa's, well thats just being pedantic, possibly hoping that no one realises that he cannot take them anyway.

 

other items wouldnt cover the bailiff fee's let alone the debt.

Ok thats somewhere for me to start with them they tried to say they would just go ahead and pay it through them its took some convincing that the bailiff was in the wrong i knew somethings had changed since you all helped me with my fight so really needed to check if i can help anyone with these bullies i will

its not just the levy fee and WP fee as you know a van/attendance fee will be added to this debt

 

I would hang on before writing the e-mail/ letter of complaint (wont get till Tuesday anyway)

 

I would like to find out for sure if a bailiff enters a porch (bearing in mind the front door is locked preventing them going into the house) if this would be classed as peaceful entry into the property therefore giving the bailiff the right to call the police to help him get into the house to levy

 

I believe once a bailiff is in a house he can break into a locked room but if the police hadn't arrived and allowed him in could the bailiff have legally broken down the door/ called a locksmith to gain enter into the house

http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?377382-Certificated-Bailiff-Register-Updated

you need to send an e-mail here cbregister@hmcts.gsi.gov. uk and ask if he has had a change of employer it may be that the register has not been updated

 

you could also e-mail the issuing court to see if he has changed his employer
