    • Please see below for an extract from the letter more about my case.    You have been convicted of two matters of failing to give driver details linked to two speeding offences and been disqualified in your absence. You confirmed that you did not receive the court documentation and the first you knew about the cases was on 3/6/24. As you can make a statutory declaration it is possible that we will be able to persuade the police to accept pleas to either or both of the speeding offences as they were committed within a very short space of time and withdraw the two fail to give driver details offences as normally if you plead to one or other of the speeding or fail to give driver details the prosecution will withdraw the other related offence. If successful you would not face a totting ban. In respect of the speeding offences, it could be argued they were committed on one occasion due to the proximity of the time and location and we may be able to persuade the prosecution to drop one of the speeding offences. You are technically guilty of all the offences because you accept it was you driving when the speeding offences were committed and that you did not update your change of address with the leasing company when it was your responsibility. If the prosecution will not withdraw the two failures to give driver details offences, you will face a totting ban but will be able to put forward an exceptional hardship argument. This may or may not go ahead at the court hearing date, so we need to prepare for all eventualities. As a safeguard we have lodged the appeal and applied to suspend your ban pending appeal due to the time limit for being able to automatically appeal without getting leave of the Judge. The court have dealt with the matter very quickly and have actually listed your matter for an application to suspend the disqualification pending appeal on the above-mentioned date. We could actually use this date to make the statutory declaration in court having explained the situation to the magistrates and then see if the prosecution will agree to accept pleas to one or both of the speeding offences as a way of resolving the matter without the need for you to put forward an exceptional hardship argument. It is possible the case would need to be adjourned so that we can make those representations, or the court may want to go ahead and hear the exceptional hardship argument. The outcome of your case is always at the discretion of the Court.

    • 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.

Where are you parking it when it is not in your drive? these repo firms have been known to ride round the area looking for cars they want to repo.

 

Under no circumstances should you hand over the keys no matter what they threaten you with. If you can bring the payments up to date you can then fight another battle to get the agreement reinstated.

Thanks Ell-enn,

 

When its not on my drive way its on another drive way so hopefully they wouldn't try to take it if they aren't allowed.

 

I will bring the outstanding payments up to date however if the charges they have previously levied are not lawful then at this point in time I have overpaid by around £100 and next payment would be due on 1st November. What I need to establish is (and I know I will have a battle on my hands should I speak/write to MB) is whether they will accept my claim to have these charges removed from my account thus putting my account into 'credit'

 

I would of course love to get them removed as it would help me hugely at this moment but have to be realistic I suppose.

 

I'll await any help and advice you can all give before I make contact with MB.

 

Thank you

the more we can find wrong with your paperwork the greater the bargaining power you will have.You already have a non compliant default notice,laws and regulations are there for borrowers and lenders and if lenders chose to ignore them, then they must suffer the consequences

well somewhat disappointly its all there in the prescribed form and seems ok,

 

cp have even covered themselves with a disclaimer on the doc

which refers to hp (all t&cs are as per hp agreement OR customer agreement between youselves and the finance provider),

 

so in reality the bargaining chip is the faulty dn to get the ac reinstated and charges reclaimed

Thanks for that,

I did feel as though my claim or dispute would not be with CP

however the more immediate issue is with MB

- so what would you suggest that I do in respect of making contact with them to try to get this account reinstated.

 

As previously stated

it would help if the charges were removed as the arrears situation would be minimal

(of course another payment is due 1st - which I can pay).

 

Can you advise on this please (if possible)

 

I appreciate I have taken up so much of your time already :(

 

Thanks

I wonder if you should apply to the court for a time order?

 

in your application you could tell the judge

that MB are taking arrears fees out of any contractual monthly payments you are making

so making the arrears situation worse.

 

Let me check with another team member re the time order.

Here's a fact sheet explaining a bit more about Time Orders:

 

http://www.nationaldebtline.co.uk/england_wales/factsheet.php?page=06c_time_order_hire_purchase_or_conditional_sale_agreement

 

In a nutshell they allow a court to reschedule your remaining repayments - potentially to a figure when is lower than the original contractual monthly amount. Generally speaking they are supposed to be a temporary measure although I've seen some which have been made on a permanent basis. You can either apply off your own back or await for legal action to be brought by a lender and apply in response to their claim.

 

Have a look at the factsheet, should you have any further queries feel free to get in touch.

Hi,

 

thanks for that - would this apply in my case.

 

The car is under a Conditional sale Agreement and not a Hire Purchase Agreement - I haven't paid 1/3 of the amount owing (even if it was on HP) - I should have paid to date £3708.70 - I have actually paid them so far £3809.62 (which includes the late charges and the prev repo fee). They currently are stating I am almost £800 in arrears (2 months plus charges)

 

So if I can prove that the charges - late payments and repo fee are not lawful and can't be levied then I would be £100.92 in credit - I am sure they will not accept this to be the case.

 

If I can get this wiped then I can and will afford the payments moving forward its just that every time they add another £25 on I go further and further down the slippery slope!

 

Thanks again everyone

as I understand it your difficulty is only very tempory and you say that you will be able to bring the ac upto date this weekend?

If you are able to do that you would then have regained the "high ground" and be able to turn the tables.

 

When you have paid I would send an email followed by a letter headed Formal Complaint addressed to their Compliance Manager along the lines of

 

- You are most concerned that they have terminated your account whilst reliant on a Default Notice that does not comply with s87/88 of the Consumer Credit Act 1974,

in particular it is not in the prescribed form as set out in s88(1) CCA 1974. and that the sum demanded contains unlawful penalty charges, which it specifically should not (thx dx)

 

Furthermore you consider their charges and fees to be unlawful penalties which do not reflect the minimal costs incurred by themselves.

 

However without any admission of liability and as a gesture of goodwill in order to settle this dispute amicably,

you are prepared to allow them to reinstate your agreement on the original terms,

providing that they refund all of the aforementioned charges and fees together with interest for the monies that they have unlawfully deprived you of

at the rate that you were charged (39.7%).

 

I trust that this clarifies my position,

Yours WW-

 

anyway that would be my suggestion for all you have had to endure

I bet Moneybarn send you some guff about their charges having been assessed by the FOS and found to be fair - and they even say they have a case number to prove it lol I'll see if I can get a copy of the letter they sent a guy I was helping with a similar case against them.

They're quoting a case number so I guess it will be easy enough to ask the FOS if that's true

Hi Again everyone,

 

I've been preparing for the application for a time order

- going to do that today and will also send the letter to the Compliance officer at Moneybarn as above.

 

I am trying to cover all angles here so that I can give myself some breathing space over the weekend

to get the payment sorted (although I am reluctant to pay over almost £1000 if they just take the car anyway)

 

So onto the Time Order

- I have pulled up the form

- N1 Claim form

- I have completed my name and MB details

- its asks for amount

- does this amount have to be the total borrowed/total owed/ or outstanding ''payments'' at the time of claim?

 

I have written a summary of events and stated the amounts that have been charged

as late payments and the previous 'repo' fee

which haven't helped to get me into the position I am in

- and that claim for fees etc will be the next part of the fight I am sure.

 

Sorry to be such a pain again - just following instruction here to make sure I don't mess anything up and hoping for the best :)

 

WW
