    • 12mph (beyond any UK limit) will certainly qualify for a Fixed Penalty. So you should received an offer of a FP for each of the remaining two offences. Be sure to submit your licence details as instructed when you accept the offer. If you don't your £100 will be returned to you and the police will prosecute you in court.
    • and it will be also now written off under age related criteria anyway.
    • @dx100ukThanks 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 consequences 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? @Man in the middleI've been searching the forum and you seem very knowledgeable. Would you mind giving a look at my query please? Thanks in advance!!
    • 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.

Santander UK Ltd

2 Triton Square,

Regent's Place,

London,

NW1 3AN,

United Kingdom

 

 

I am writing to you with regards to 2 accounts I have with you.

 

( my account info here )

 

I am writing to ask you to clear all of my debts in entirity.

 

A bit of background information:

 

1) When you gave me my loan I was a vulnerable gambling addict.

2) When I was 18 year old I had £40,000 – I now have nothing and am total £16k in debt.

3) I have been free of gambling for 3 months now.

4) I am currently employed earning £839 per month. My outgoings are £812 per month. This does not include any of my debt repayments, as I can afford none.

 

Breakdown:

 

£839 / month wage

£300 / month rent

£100 / travel bus pass and train

£60 / month pole tax

£150 / month food

£100 / month clothes

£30 / month mobile phone pay as you go

£50 / month social spending

= £49 / month spare ( usually this goes on other bits and bobs )

 

I believe that when you gave me the loan you were not following correct responsible lending procedure's – for the following reasons:

 

1) I already had many outstanding loans including one for £5000 with nationwide.

2) You were in charge of my current account, which showed many payments to gambling and payday loan companies.

3) My current account was consistantly going overdrawn.

4) On the day you approved my £5000 loan, I was rejected for a £100 payday loan.

5) I was outstanding £3000 to gambling companies.

6) I was consistantly having direct debits bounce from loans I could not afford to repay, phone contracts I did not keep up payments with etc.

7) To be frank I was deeply shocked when you accepted the loan, but I was a vulnerable gambling addict and that the loan was a solution when it was putting me further in debt.

 

Even if I believed you had followed all the correct procedures I would still be asking you to clear my loan for the following reasons.

 

1) I have literally no way to pay this back. I have £20 spare at the end of every month. My bank account is drastically overdrawn.

2) I have no assets

3) I can not see, even if you froze my interest for 5 years, that I would be able to pay any of this loan back.

4) I am currently seeing a councillor with depression and suicidal thoughts.

5) I have absoloutley no idea how my situation is going to end. I have no idea how to pay anything. I am glad if I can afford anything to eat apart from cereal.

 

Other information

 

1) I am currently being contacted by Steph Atkinson – a producer for the BBC who may want to interview me for a documentary regarding young people's debt.

2) I am writing a letter similar to this to all of my debtors.

3) I am writing a letter to 2 gambling companies, one of which let me run up debts of £3000+ which took me 6 months to pay back ( I was earning a lot more back then and did not have depression ) but when I actually paid them back they immediatley offered me a £1000 credit limit. They are meant to ban problem gambler's – they actually encouraged me to ruin my life.

4) I used to be around 16stone, I am now around 11 stone, cant afford enough food to eat and am extremely depressed.

 

As per the above points, I can see no way that correct procedures were followed nor can I see any way that it would be possible for me to pay back these debts.

 

I welcome you to put in a request to make me bankrupt if you will not cancel this debt. I have no way to pay it back. I cry every day because of this mess I have got myself in. But I have been encouraged to get further into debt with your loan and gambling companies giving me credit. I can not afford to make myself bankrupt or else I would. Even though I hate the fact this would be on my file for life, what choice do I have?

 

I believe for you to clear my debt on both my loan and my current account would be

 

1) Responsible

2) Prevent me further depression and give me hope that my whole life isnt going to be spent crying over letters adding more charges to my account.

3) The best course of action for you aswell as me, as I have no way in this world of paying the loan back.

 

Even paying £1 to send this letter is hurting me.

 

I have been advised to send various “standard” letters but I wanted you to know my situation and give you the opportunity to do what is best for us both.

 

I never wished my life to end in writing letter's like this.

 

Please help me.

You need to reduce your clothes spending. £100 is too high - although you should also factor in amounts for cleaning products and toiletries. In addition you could give yourself an extra £50 for food too.

 

As you have no assets you'll find that no creditor will make you bankrupt, you could do it yourself although it'll cost you at least £525. One problem with this option is that you'll possibly be placed on a bankruptcy restriction - which means that you could be held to adhere to the bankruptcy rules for longer than the usual 12 months (although you'll still be discharged after 12 months).

 

Here's a good fact sheet:

HI Joshmark

 

Don't send that letter, it will get you nowhere, it looks like an attempt to not have to pay your debts using any argument possible.

Also you break down inc/exp to show £49 a month spare, then state you have £20 a month to spare, then further state you struggle to find £1 to send the letter!

 

Your clothes spending is muchto high, and I think given you would technically be paying half a shopping bill your food spending would be seen as high. I went court for c/tax and was told £80 a month was generous for food allowance??

Also despite spending £150 a month you later state you can't afford food to eat?

 

 

What you need to do is concentrate on legal issues. Beyond that the banks are unlikely let you off with anything they dont have to.

 

You are arguing irresponsible lending but you need to prove that the neccessary checks for the loan would have seen this. I doubt they would have looked at where money in your account went to, an alternative lender woouldn't, so why would your own bank?

 

You also need to find out what was on your credit file at the time of applying, had you only missed other payments by a week or 2 I doubt this would be shown, therefore the banks would not have known.

 

I'm sure some of the more experienced poster will soon help you straighten you debts out to what you can afford and how to claim back any unfair charges/PPi etc to help reduce what you owe.

 

Who are the gambling companies you owe money to? UK based or overseas online based? Finding a way to not have to pay these may be easier.

 

I feel you may still be a heavy gambler as (if we ignore your financial breakdown) despite being on £800 a month you cant afford to eat/losing weight because you aren't eating, you don't have a quid for a letter etc. Please be honest about this, it isn't to judge you but to ensure any help and advice you get is what is best for you in your situation.

 

You say the loan is six months old and was taken out because you were gambling at that time, well, 6 months isn't a long time and you make no mention of getting help for your gambling problem. I'd suggest you seek help for this with an association, I know you will probably be embarrased but everyone there would be to help you not to judge, and hopefully they would have plenty of experience and advice to help with debts run up through gambling. As well as esuring that once you are sorted, you get the support you need not to get back in this situation.

 

Try getting in touch with GamCare or Gambler anon.

Good luck.

hi andy

 

6 months old

 

paid for about 4 months then lost my job, got a new job paying half my old wage, cant afford anything

Well yes you can, can't you? £100 for clothes, £49 for socialising and £30 for the mobile. That's the best part of £200 a month that could be paid to your creditors. You may whinge about not being able to socialise and so forth , and I'm not trying to be nasty, but they are your debts and you are responsible.
