    • and it legally informs them of your correct and current address as you must do with all old debts last paid/used in say 7 yrs you dont want backdoor CCJ's. what were the names of these IVA scammers, the one you took it out with, and the one that scammed you to let them take over please? your story is slightly worrying. dx  
    • Incidentally, congratulations on not buying the warranty. That is another Big Motoring World rip-off. See what we have to say about extended warranties and the Big Motoring World attitude to them is particularly unhelpful
    • well that google is from 2019, but the photos are certainly of someone driving on the public highway in/out by an ANP system, though the site of where the camera actually is, is not showing there are anpr cameras up by the low yellow barriers but they wont get from facing shots from there. interesting, needs to be checked if the road IS a public highway but on private land, cause as you say, if the whole area is max 4hrs , how does the hotel work< ?? must have a reg entry system.  now as for taking pictures of cars on a public highway then guessing the are parking ...erm.... i dont thnk thats right nor allowed under GDPR. dx  
    • Under the consumer rights act 2015, if a defect manifests itself within 30 days and you have a right to return the vehicle for a full refund. If any defect manifests itself within the first six months of ownership then you have a right to return the vehicle for a full refund subject to the retailers right to carry out a repair. If the retailer declines to repair or if the repair fails then you have the right to return. The problem here is that you have to assert their right. It's a bit ridiculous – but you have to do let them know preferably in writing that you are asserting your rights under the consumer rights act either the 30 day right or the six month right. I suppose that you haven't done this – which would be quite understandable because most people don't know that these rights exist and that they are subject to these conditions – the condition that the right must be inserted. It is frankly ridiculous. The dealers know it and we have lots of instances of this company delaying appointments et cetera and our strong suspicion is that they are simply trying to run their customers out of time. On the basis that you haven't asserted your rights, we now have to look to ordinary contract law. You are entitled to purchase a vehicle which is of satisfactory condition and which remains that way for a reasonable period of time. Clearly it is in satisfactory. They are blaming you. Has your independent inspection identified the reason for the defect? This will be important because as you have seen BMW are already saying it is down to your driving and you are going to have to produce evidence that it wasn't down to your driving and the you drove it absolutely reasonably and it was simply the condition of the car. Have you been without the car for any period of time. Is it driveable now? If the car was off the road for a substantial amount of time and was still off the road then you would be able to argue that this is a fundamental breach of contract and that you have been deprived of substantially the whole benefit of the contract and therefore you will be entitled to treat the contract as breached by Big Motoring World and insist on cancelling the contract. It may be that you will eventually be obliged to keep the car but have the repairs paid for. Have you had any quotations for the work that needs doing? I asked you questions about the MOT – but you haven't responded.
    • A 'violent left wing mob', comprised of a chap in a red hoody with a damp polystyrene coffee cup and a bit of wet cement, gets nowhere near cowering frightened farage some distance away on top of his double decker bus .. as farages security and support seem to film the incident grinning     Farage bravely flinches, grimaces and seems to almost burst into tears as the 'objects managed to travel a part of the way toward his position on top of his bus.

    • 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
