    • 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?

    • Please go back and read my message posted at 10:27 this morning @jk2054. I didn't say that I wasn't going to provide documents, only that I will upload them to an online repo that I am in control of, and that I would share links to these.

    • 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.

Hi All

 

I have a really urgent situation; I will run through the history.

 

I had a letter from a debt collection agency called Philips a year ago saying I owed £550 for "notice failure to give information" I emailed them and said what was it for and they said it was something to do with a vehicle violation in Waltham Forest in 2009; I wasn't in the country so know it wasn't anything to do with me I had no car. I stated this to them and they never got back to me.

 

I did follow up with 2 letters to the court in question which I was told ws NE Magistrates, I never had a reply to either letter.

 

About a month ago I got a letter form Collectica, stating the same basically so I again replied with the letters I had sent to the court and also the information I had sent to Philips. They asked me to prove I was out the country, I did this, and they said the account was on hold until 9th September while they went back to there client.

 

I contacted them on 9th to say what is happening, heard nothing and then on Monday (23rd) I get a debt collector at the door with a Notice of Attendance. I explained the situation and he said he understood as he has read the notes and that I need to contact the court. I explained I had blah blah; anyway he went away.

 

I emailed Collectica again stating this was ridculous it isn't me I can prove it and they said there client rejected my proof of not being here and not owning the car for whatever violation it is!

 

So my question is this What do I do now?

 

Can Collectica legally pursue a debt that is in dispute; I 100% have no idea what this is, someone must of had a car registered in my name or it is a mistake, whatever it is, it isn't me and I am now worried someone else is going to turn up because I am not going to be giving them a single penny.

 

REALLY appreciate any help with this as its super stressing me out!

 

Thanks in advance.

A court cannot simply cancel a fine. The correct procedure is to file a simple Statutory Declaration.

 

As things stand at this present time you have a CRIMINAL OFFENCE recorded against you personally and this needs to be cancelled.

 

You have said that you wrote to NE Magistrates. Where did you send the letter to?

 

On the current letter from Collectica is there an HMCTS reference (ie: London , NE, South etc)

Hi,

 

Letter sent to Thames Magistrates Court 58 Bow Road London Bow Greater London E3 4DJ

 

After numerous calls a year ago the Fines department said it was a parking ticket, and that I had to put it in writing and provide proof which I did, and they gave me that address....

 

How do I complete a Statutory Declaration?

 

Also what do I do if the bailiffs turn up?

 

All help greatly appreciated!

 

Massive thanks,

 

Penny

Hi - I called the court and they have put a further hold on the account for 28 days (it has taken me so long to get through to them)

 

They gave me lots more information which was useful; this is for a car I sold in 2006, it was involved in an accident on 15.12.2008 and the court had me as the registered keeper still and said I failed to give information and brought a court case against me on 20.07.2009.

 

The person I spoke to was VERY helpful she said I am better attending Thames Magistrates with proof I was out of the country and proof I sold the car; so I am going to go there t'row.

 

Is that the best thing to do?????

 

I since this recieved another letter from Collectica saying it is a pre removal notice and they are adding £200 to it - I do have the 28 day hold at the moment so the pressure is off slightly

 

Still super stressed out...

yes go to court insist they allow you to file a statutory declaration this will revert the case back to the beginning and the DVLA will either drop the case or re- summons you giving you the chance to file a defence

 

however as I said you need to file the stat dec for this to happen have a read of tomtubby sticky
