    • oh well i wonder what new fake documents they have made up then...for them to try this.... just to check nothing funky like Link have filed an n244 to lift the stay and strike out her defence....she hasnt moved since last court comms has she?   is this an n24? bit unusual for a 13mts stay to just be lifted... has she not received anything from link/kearns in the last fw weeks like a docs bundle? bit like this thread... https://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/topic/466576-lc-assetlinkkearns-claim-form-2-mbna-cc/?do=findComment&comment=5256397  
    • if the agreement was taken out jan 23, then she has not reached the 1/3rd mark so the car has not become protected goods under the consumer credit act.  this puts her in a very very vulnerable position regarding ever keeping the car....whereby once they have issued a default notice they can legally send a guy with a flatbed (though they are NOT BAILIFFS and have ZERO legal powers) to collect the car.  if the car is kept on the public highway then they can simply take it away and she will legally owe the whole stated amount on the agreement AND lose the car. if it's on private property i'e like a driveway, ok they shouldn't take it without her agreeing, but if they do, it's not really on but its better than a court case and an inevitable loss with the granting a return of goods order. are these 'health reasons' likely to resolve themselves in the very short term (like a couple of months?) and can she immediately begin working again ? i'e has she got a job or would have to find one?  answer the above and we'll try and help. but she looks to be between rock and a hard place . whatever happens she will still have to pay the loan off...car or no car....unless you can appeal to the finance company's better nature using health reasons to back off for xxx months.

    • Hello all,   I ordered a laptop online about 16 months ago. The laptop was faulty and I was supposed to send it back within guarantee but didn't for various reasons. I contacted the company a few months later and they said they will still fix it for me free of charge but I'd have to pay to send it to them and they will pay to send it back to me. The parcel arrived there fine. Company had fixed it and they sent it via dpd. I was working in the office so I asked my neighbours who would be in, as there's been a history of parcel thefts on our street. I had 2 neighbours who offered but when I went to update delivery instructions, their door number wasn't on the drop down despite sharing the same post code.  I then selected a neighbour who I thought would likely be in and also selected other in the safe place selection and put the number of the neighbour who I knew would definitely be in and they left my parcel outside and the parcel was stolen. DPD didn't want to deal with me and said I need to speak to the retailer. The retailer said DPD have special instructions from them not to leave a parcel outside unless specified by a customer. The retailer then said they could see my instructions said leave in a safe space but I have no porch. My front door just opens onto the road and the driver made no attempt to conceal it.  Anyway, I would like to know if I have rights here because the delivery wasn't for an item that I just bought. It was initially delivered but stopped working within the warranty period and they agreed to fix it for free.  Appreciate your help 🙏🏼   Thanks!

    • 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.

Basically, Newlyn are sending letters to my sisters house for a parking ticket. I dont live there, my car is never there and she couldn't care less if bailiffs call. She just tells them where to go.

 

However, today she received a letter from Newlyns addressed to the OCCUPIER.

 

Once she opened it (being the occupier) the letter continues to threaten bailiff removal action within 14 days, and goes on to mention MY name and the amount allegedly outstanding.

 

Surely this is a total breach of data protection. And if so is there anything I can and should do?

Out of order IMHO, as OCCUPIER is not a person, so cannnot have goods seized for a debt of a debtor named further on. keep the letter and scan and email a copy with a complaint to the Data Commissioner. Newlyn need a severe thraping for this.

We could do with some help from you.

The address used by Newlyn should be the same as that on the Order for Recovery, Charge Certificate and the Notice to Owner and this information will be provided by DVLA using the VRM of your car.

 

Do you live at your sisters home or did you register your car at her address?

I dont live there, but my car is registered there.

 

Would that make a difference?

 

My argument would be they should have sent the letter to ME @ the address, so that my sister would have sent the letter back "not known". Now she's privvy to personal information about me due to them sending it to the occupier.

If you complain, I don't know what the procedure is, but isn't there a chance that your complaint letter will be copied to the bailiff company - or at least, your name and address. Then they will know where you are and come looking there instead.

I complained using the address they have for me already. Its an address i use for mail. The fact that its my sisters address is irrelevant.

 

The whole argument is whether I live there or not, whether they think I do or not, whether I ever HAVE or not. They should not divulge any personal data to anyone other than myself.

It does not seem that you have a complaint about the parking ticket or about not receiving any notices but your complaint "appears" to be that the bailiff company have not written a letter to your correct name.

 

In which case, you need to write a letter of complaint the the local authority. The letter will NOT of course cancel any enforcement notice given that what is important is the name and address on the warrant of execution.

I guess, but more importantly that my personal data has been shared with potentially ANYONE.

Of course. I have a cease and desist letter which 99% of the time works wonders for that. ;-)

Well looking at that removal notice it doesn'tseem to have any warrant number, or from which court it issued the warrant they should have all thedetails on it or any bailiff could just turn up with one and take goods. Make sure they have the correct paper work.

Given that you registered your car at your sisters address I would suspect that the local authority or ICO would take very little notice of a complaint.

 

You do not appear to be concerned at the threat of a bailiff visit or your car being removed and appear to only be concerned as to whether the letter from Newlyn is wrongly addressed. There is little further that I can advise and I hope that you are able to sort this out.

 

It would be far better to properly register the car at your own address as this will avoid similar letters being sent in future.

TT,

 

I am out of the country for at least 70% of the year. Therefore I need to register it somewhere no? As i live in hotels for most of my life, i think this would be the best solution.

 

To be totally honest there are three sets of keys to the vehicle in question at the RK address and anyone has my permission to drive the vehicle, as long as they are legally entitled to do so. So if i was being really pedantic, I could just say I have no idea who was driving at the time couldn't I?

 

It isnt so much that the letter was wrongly addressed , but the fact that PERSONAL details have been divulged to (basically) anyone who opens the letter. Surely thats not right?

 

Today I received a letter from them, stating that in their eyes they have not divulged any personal information yet my name clearly appears on the letter???

 

Anyway... thanks for your response TT, much appreciated.

If you are out of the country for 70% of the year and allow your car to be used, I would question whether it it worth the hassle of owning it. Do your Insurers know about this ? If not, I doubt that your Insurance would be valid. Most Insurers would not be happy that the UK is not your main residence for the year and you have no permanent address. Aviva are the only Insurers I can think of, who might provide cover, if you give them the full details of your situation.

 

You are responsible for the car and all of these issues, unless someone else admits to the offence and pays up.

 

I would suggest that you pay what is definitely due to be paid and then think about getting rid of the car.

We could do with some help from you.

Have you advised them of your residential situation and the cars exact usage ? You should check what you have told them, to ensure that your current circumstances are not different to what you told them.

 

I would suggest that you pay the parking ticket and bailiff costs, then think about what you can do about not being put in this position again in the future. While you are away, if you have authorised people to use your car, they could be committing various driving offences, for which you are later held to be responsible as the owner of the car.

My insurers are fully aware of my situation and the fact that when I am in the UK, the vehicle is used for business use primarily. Thats why I pay a rather hefty premium LOL.

 

Thanks for the advice.

I have a friend who works abroad and returns every fortnight for 2 nights to pick up mail and indulge in a hobby before going back

 

He owns a house but rents out rooms and keeps one for himself, he also has a car registered at that address which is kept there and he uses it when he is over

 

I have asked why he keeps a car and the reply is that it would be very inconvenient to have to hire a car to do all the running about he needs to when he is here, therefore I understand your reasoning for keeping a car in the UK

 

What I don't understand is why you haven't paid the ticket as clearly it was received correctly and now you find yourself on the wrong end of a compliant Bailiff claim

 

Yes they wrote to 'the occupier' but I expect this is because they have been told that you don't live there, as the car is registered there what else are they supposed to do?

 

You have been given the best advice by 2 different posters - pay the costs before this escalates further

 

If you want to then complain about Newlyn sending a letter addressed to the occupier then you have all the time in the world to waste on it, really how much sympathy do you expect to get from the local authority?

 

This does sound like you are trying to get off on a technicality and have shot yourself in the foot while doing so

 

I don't think your complaint has a snowball's chance in hell of being upheld and if the Bailiff presented information in Court on why they wrote to the occupier it could be suggested that you were trying to evade the fine by giving obstructive information

 

I don't know for sure but I reckon that could be an offense or contempt
