    • Thank you very much for your letter in regard to the above mentioned shipment.  Due to the high volume of parcels coursing through the courier network each day, undergoing continuous processing and handling, certain packages may experience delays or even can get lost in the course of this journey. Please note that due to the time that has passed, this shipment has been declared as lost.  I have today processed the claim and made offers to the value of £75 as a goodwill gesture without prejudice. I do acknowledge that you have mentioned in your letter that the value was higher, however, you did not take out any protection to that amount. The protection for this shipment was £20 and we will not be increasing our goodwill offer any further.    Please log into your account online in order to accept our offer. Once accepted, our accounts department will process the claim accordingly. The claim payment will be processed and received within 7 working days.                                  In addition, a refund of the carriage fee will be processed as a separate payment and will be received within 3 working days.  If I can further assist, please feel free to contact me.   I have also just noticed that yesterday afternoon they sent me an email stating that "after my request" they have refunded the cost of shipping. I did not request the refund so will mention that in my letter as well.
    • Hi I had to leave Dubai back in 2011, during the financial crisis. And only now have I received a letter from IDRWW. Is this anything to worry about about as I have 2 years left until it’s been 15 years(statute barred in Dubai). Worried as just got a mortgage 2 years ago. Could they force me in to bankruptcy? Red lots of different threads on here. And unsure what true and what isn’t. 
    • Not that TOR will see this now he's thrown in the hand grenade. Rayner has plenty of female supporters on X, for a start. As for the council and HMRC, fair enough and I thought Rayner was already in touch with them.

    • Often with the Likes of Lowells/ Overdales that 'proof' doesn't stand up to scrutiny.   Think about it like a game of poker, they want to intimidate you into folding and giving up as soon as possible, and just get you to pay up and roll over, that is their business model, make you think your cards are rubbish. What they don't expect, and their business isn't set up for it, is for a defendant to find this place and to learn that they have an amazing set of cards to play. Overdales don't have an infinite number of lawyers, paralegals etc, and the time / money to spend on expensive court cases, that they are highly likely to lose, hence how hard they will try to get you to roll over.  Even to the extent of faking documents, which they need to do because the debts that they purchased were so cheap, in the first place. Nevertheless it works in most cases, most people chicken out, when they are so close to winning, and a holding defence is like slowly showing Overdales your first card, and a marker of intention that this could get tricky for them. In fact it may be,  although by no means guaranteed that it won't even go any further than that.  Even if it does, what they send you back will almost certainly have more holes than Swiss Cheese, and if with the help you receive here, you can identify those weaknesses and get the whole thing tossed in the bin.

    • 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.

Nice one, Essex Council will like that post Not A Lot :)

 

Potentially then if there are three LOs say for £50 making a total of £150 arrears the fees on each could total over £1000 with all the extras now on offer to the enforcer to apply. the sale fee being akin to the defunct head h , and say £30 per day for storage if goods are removed as will likely be the case with a car. Incidentally iof the car is third party these sale and storage fees will have to be paid in on top of the assessed value of the car into court for the interpleader if the agent or creditor refuses to accept proof of ownership. This one could see complaints to councils in the dark on interpleaders which may result in them getting an Ombudsman kicking. MOJ have really managed to engineer a way to impoverish poor people even further.

We could do with some help from you.

If you read the whole section of comments then you will see how much or little in this case that the debtors actually know what is going on.

 

 

They have no idea, I have tried ever since becoming aware of the new regs, one thing that has come out of my brow beating is that the local ALMO will not now use EA's for current rent arrears, but only for former rent arrears, finally got this passed to the board last Tuesday.

 

 

they will now only use a DCA to collect current arrears, guess who the DCA is ? MOORCROFT lol

I find it incredible the way some people are so flippant and think they can get away with it all, guess what ? wake up smell the roses and hear the bailiffs chirping

 

 

I have you now, lots of dollar for me no goods for you, the Auction houses around this area have been very busy atm, but soon there will be one a week for the sale of seized goods.

 

 

The way everything is going even if you are in receipt of benefits they WILL levy on you, then by the time you see the damage its a significant debt.

 

 

With all the extra charges will the new fees taking it ever closer to the magical £1500-00, then the extra % fees on top of that then you will lose everything you own, why because you thought it "cool" to not pay the council tax bill, or if you are very unlucky simply because you cannot afford it, then if this happens I think could see a different type of crime rise to fund the fees.

 

 

This can only see impoverished people getting ill for lack of being able to eat properly, ( a possibility ) then you will see that these poor souls looking for hand-outs from the very people that put them there!!

 

 

Already food banks are at capacity for those looking for food already, how much further can a person go before they break?

 

 

The snowball effect as I now call it is blindingly painful even for me that this so called reform is going to hurt far too many people in the next few months.

A very interesting post on SCOOP this morning linking to a website (below)

 

http://simply-wrong.com/new-bailiff-regulations-april-6th-2014/

 

It is my understanding that many local authorities have viewed this article over the weekend and the content is being debated on local authority forums.

 

I am pleased to see that some sections have been directly copied from my posts on this forum (I have no problem with this at all). Well done

Do these new laws only apply in England and Wales? There are no bailiffs in Scotland, there are Sheriff Officers.

England and Wales, Scotland has its own laws.

I can see a rise in bailiffs going to hospital, (or worse). Take everything someone owns and they are inclined to ensure they are put in prison in order to survive. To ensure they do, they will take their revenge on the people who did it to them.

 

A sensible offer to repay a debt within a few months may take practically all of your income. I would say the Human Rights Court is going to get flooded very soon with lawsuits against enforcement companies based on the fact that it would be against anyone's human rights to leave them destitute.

Where are the protests from Labour, one wonders?

These changes were instigated by Labour, the ConDems ignored the potential consequences and introduced them anyway. probably looked at the Enforcement Industry as a growth area for jobs.

Hi guys

So does this new rule account for secured debts or both insecure and secure ?

Gaz

Any debt where a CCJ is involved probably, but a secured debt may lead to the debtor losing their home, an unsecured debt with a CCJ a call from an Enforcement Agent to take control of their goods.

 

The main area here will be council tax liability orders and Council PCN enforcement imho.

Ok cool

So an unsecured credit card from 2002 shouldn't cause any problems even though I still get phone calls regarding it from numerous companies !!!!!! Annoying as reading on here if it's over 6 years they can't legally chase you

Gareth

For these regulations to affect you the dastardly DCA needs to get a CCJ most likely unlawfully by misrepresentationon the Statute Barred debt, then send an Enforcement Agent to collect or seize your goods. No CCJ no collect, if a drone doorstep debt collector from Snotcall, Muckhall, or Moorcarp were to fturn up on the door and say they were an Enforcement Agent and claim they could seize goods the police would doubtless like to feel their collars. These Regulations DO NOT apply to a DCA.

Can I be critical for a moment.

 

I started a new thread a week or so ago as a DISCUSSION thread about the new regulations and the reason for that was so that questions regarding the new rules are directed to that thread only. In that way other 'threads' stay on the topic.

 

This thread is an important one to highlight new press articles of interest to enforcement concerning council tax, parking etc.

 

For instance, if anyone reads SCOOP today they will see an interesting article featured in today's Telegraph newspaper regarding last night's Panorama programme !! (queries of which should be posted on the relevant thread).

Can I just ask for clarification... I understand that the processes have changed and that the fees have been substantially increased. What are the variations to our own rights.... for example: A bailiff never used to have right of access to your home... being permitted access through open doors and windows only... is this still the case? Is a person still free to leave the door shut in the knowledge that if the force entry they will be committing an offence or have the new rules also provided the "Enforcement Officer" new powers?

"Why vote for them?" is a perfect question. I am astonished that Labour put together a piece of legislation that is aimed squarely at destroying the most vulnerable people in society... after all they are allegedly the ones who are supposed to look out for the poorer people.

 

They say that you can gauge the level of civilisation by examining the way they treat their most vulnerable - it seems to me that we are moving backwards at a fair old rate of knots
