    • you could have moved within that time in the same complex. have you this in writing - did you request a copy of the judgement CCJ AND Claimform from northants bulk?   it is NOT A FINE.....this is an extremely important point to understand no-one bar a magistrate in a magistrates criminal court can ever fine anyone for anything. Private Parking Tickets (speculative invoices) are NOT a criminal matter, merely a speculative contractual Civil matter hence they can only try a speculative monetary claim via the civil county court system (which is no more a legal powers matter than what any member of Joe Public can do). Until/unless they do raise a county court claim a CCJ and win, there are not ANY enforcement powers they can undertake other than using a DCA, whom are legally powerless and are not BAILIFFS. Penalty Charge Notices issued by local authorities etc were decriminalised years ago - meaning they no longer can progress a claim to the magistrates court to enforce, but go directly to legal enforcement via a real BAILIFF themselves. 10'000 of people waste £m's paying private parking companies because they think they are FINES...and the media do not help either. the more people read the above the less income this shark industry get. where your post said fine it now says charge dx
    • That’s really useful info, thank you. You are correct, we did not assert our rights as the issue only developed just over 7 months after purchase. When the problem arose we chose to use Mercedes via the warranty company (RAMP) After a lengthy (3 weeks) and complex investigation Mercedes could not fault find without extra hours being approved, which we reluctantly had to do. Most of the costs incurred are for labour to locate the issue. Therefore all works on the car have now been completed by Mercedes in Croydon. They have provided us with a courtesy car which we have so far had for 1 week. So I’m guessing we won’t be able to wait that long for a response from Doves as Mercedes will want the balance settled?  Finance was via Santander, we luckily haven’t incurred any expenses only extreme  stress, cancel numerous arrangements and manage family life without a vehicle for 4 weeks 😫 No one seems to know who replaced the windscreen, the car has full (3 years) Mercedes service history and we have tried to contact the garage where the services were completed to see if they can shed any light but they are impossible to speak to.  Thank you again! I’ll update with a draft of our email in the morning 
    • nothing to do with the magistrates court, they are rubberstamped. council is your target. dont play silly russian roulette by hiding, always works out bad. never run from debt of any kind! the councils CTAX legal dept will be well aware the NOE thus the fees are unenforceable, but they probably dont know it was not served to your correct address.(bailiff they employed not doing their job properly!) have a chat with them, and get the org debt paid off say by small monthly sums. NEVER just pay it by a portal without human intervention as to why you are paying what because of a disputed sum. do things legally and properly

    • 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.

Simply issue the claim for the amount that you know is currently owed, which can include any charges you know about since your LBA.

 

Once this case is concluded, if there are further charges being added you can claim those seperately, at a later date.

 

Hope that helps.....

Spiceskull here threatened court action before the charges were applied after receiving notification that they would be, and they refunded them the moment they were applied.

 

You could try that tactic. He's put his letters in his link which you could use.

hello, hope im posting this the right way, i keep posting new threads SORRY!!!!!!!!!

 

just to recap on whats going on

1. asked abbey to refund the £690 they had removed from my bank over 5 months with the standard bank action group template giving them 14 days to comply

2. they replied with the standard letter saying no and if i go to court they can close my account

3. i filed for court action with moneyclaim and sent them a letter saying that it would be unfair if they closed my account for complaining

4. i received a letter today asking me to return my bank card and cheque book

 

thats just a quick recap, all time frames are within guidelines

 

the question is now, should i send the card and cheque book back as i no longer use the account or should i hold out for court action which i think is early may time

 

please help

 

thanks

steve

I wouldn't bother sending it back, as I would begrudge paying postage, but I would certainly write a letter of complaint asap and send to the OFT.

thanks for the info,

in the letter the reason for closing the account is being overdrawn without an authorised overdraft limit

1. they gave me 30 days notice that they were taking away mo overdraft

2. the whole reason i was in my overdraft is because of the charges they put on my account

Then, as I see it, you still have good reason to make the complaint.

 

I would also keep a close eye on your credit files in case the bank make reference to this- which in turn would be unlawful and generate a seperate claim for damages.

 

Far more info being added on this note lately, should you get to that bridge!

it says at the bottom of the letter that they are going to write to the credit reference agency about how my account is being run!!!! HA HA HA HA HA

 

I lost my buisness last year and have only just managed to keep my house by getting a large loan and paying all the money that was owed to my creditors, i just hope the credit referance agency have enough paper from last time!!!!!

 

funny thing was, the good old scabbey was going to give me a loan at well over 17% apr to sort me out and get me back on my feet. luck was on my side, i found tesco would give me a loan at 6%

 

im not trying to say that abbey are blood sucking scabs or anything!!

hello,

abbey has written to me asking to return my cheque book and card. so far i have done nothing except write a letter informing them that i refuse to accept the new T&C booklet they sent, today i received a letter telling me that if i do not return the above they will debit my account £45 + vat and a feild agent will be sent to recover the card and book. also they are ignoring my court claim (served 25/04/06) and requesting that full payment of the outstanding money is made

 

anyone had the same? and what would be the best thing to do?

If you don't need the account, then return them.

 

Also, write to them to tell them that the sum outstanding is "in dispute" and you are in the process of taking legal action to recover funds - "I would refer you to your legal department for clarification" - that sort of thing.

 

If they do ANYTHING else regarding this money, let us know...

hello just got a letter today saying that a Mr Squires is dealing with my claim, he says: Although i have checked abbeys computer systems, i have been unable to trace any account held by you at the address given on the claim form.

 

i have recently moved and went into abbey to change my details, they have been "misplaced" somwhere along the lines but i cant help thinking that this is just to stall my claim. also he has asked for me to reply personally to him via e-mail with a as he says "the email address given in the header of the page"........there is no email address listed at the to of the page!!!!!

 

im going into the bank again this weekend to give in my cards and cheque book, im just hoping that the address problem will not give me any problems with my claim

 

when i filled in moneyclaim online im sure i had to fill in my account details so i find it odd that they should bring it up

 

anyone with any thoughts on this?

Good stuff. Nothing much else you can do in the meantime, except maybe read some more of the forum material, and Abbey claims in particular to familiarise yourself with what to expect...

hi

im a bit worried, the shabbey are still sending letters to my previous address and ignoring my updated contact details. is this going to be the defence???? "he was not known at this address"!!!!

 

i have email proof that they have received my contact details, maybe i should go into the branch again and give them my new details just to be sure.

 

anyone else had this problem?

 

11 days for shabbey to file a defence

a letter has just arrived from abbeys law people, they are offering 50% of the money that i am claiming. question is what to do next, they say if i accept, this will end the matter. i am happy to go to court and i feel that i only want what is due to me and accepting 50% will leave me feeling ripped off. abbey once charged me over £50 for going £2 overdrawn so i think that even getting £25 back is simply not enough

 

so should i accept the 50% and still claim for the rest or just say no and go to court

 

please help!

I got exactly the same letter. Send an email refusing this offer, you intend to take this to court, request all further correspondence is sent to your new address, and put your sort code / account number in the email

 

You will get a cheque about a week later.

 

By the way - if it does go to court dont worry about the address. Just take a statement - this will show the proof that you have had an Abbey acount - but it wont go that far!!!!!

Abbey - owed £3260 - Paid up.

 

Barclays owed £2500 - Paid up.

 

Halifax, Mint & Egg - next on the hit list

 

Dont click on the scales - I'm quite proud of my little red dot! - As the little red dot has gone - click away!!!!

thanks for the info

 

the address "mix up" has been sorted out now, as if by magic!!!!!! they remembered that i changed my contact details when i reminded them that i have written proof of them accepting the change

 

i will write a letter tonight telling them that i want the full amount and i am happy to go to court to get what is owed to me

 

is there any sample letters that anyone eles has sent that i can doctor???

Dear Sirs

 

Thank you for your reply dated XXth May.

 

I respectfully decline your offer of settlement and request, once again, that you return to me ALL charges made on this account in the last 6 years, totalling £XXX.00, by way of personal cheque. If you choose not to do so, or if I do not receive notification in time, I will start proceedings for recovery in the County Courts on XX May.

 

I also note from your letter XXXXX (remove if not required)

 

With the time limit nearing, I am more than happy for you to telephone me should you be willing to settle in full, but please do not use this facility if you are simply going to make a partial offer. My home phone number is XXXXXXX.

 

Yours faithfully
