    • I doubt HMCTS holds any data on whether arrests by AEAs required police assistance.  They couldn't or wouldn't provide data on how many of warrants issued were successfully executed - just the number issued!  In my experience, arrest warrants whether with or without bail are [surprisingly] carried out with little or no fuss.  I think it's about how you treat people - a little respect and courtesy goes a long way. If you treat people badly they will react the same way. Occasions when police are called to assist are not common and, having undertaken or managed many thousands of these over the years, I can only recall a handful of occasions when police assistance was necessary. On one occasion, many years ago, I arrested and transported a man from Hampshire to Bristol prison on a committal warrant. It was just me and he was no problem. I didn't know the Bristol area (pre Sat Nav) and he was kind enough to provide directions - seems he knew the prison.  One young chap on another committal warrant jumped out of his back window and I had to chase him across several garden fences.  When he gave up (we were both knackered) I agreed to drive by his girlfriend's house to say farewell for a while.  I gave them a few moments and he was fine. The most difficult are breach warrants but mainly in locating the defendant as they don't want to go back to prison - can't blame them.  These were always dealt with by the police until the Access to Justice Act transferred responsibility from them to the magistrates' courts. The fact was the police did not actively pursue them and generally only executed them when they arrested someone for something else and found they had a breach warrant outstanding.  Hence the transfer of responsibility.
    • thats down to mcol making that option available for you to select, you cant force it. typically if there are known processing delays at northants bulk it will be atleast 14 days later if not more.
    • Thanks   Noting the day to apply for default judgement if necessary
    • nope, as the display model was not the colour the customer wanted. but your question is totally immaterial anyway as custom built doesn't come into it. dx
    • as long as aos is done by day 19 from the date on the claimform they get a total of 33 days to file a defence. (whereby the date top right on the claimform is ONE in the 33 day count) dx

    • 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.

hi all,

my wife and daughter both have vodaphone contracts.

 

daughter has about 10mths left,

 

wife about 15mth.

 

they have had nothing but trouble with signal and a numerous amounts of calls to vodaphone.

 

they were constantly losing signals and being cut off mid call.

 

daughter was losing wifi signal sitting 15 feet away from box and not always knowing it

and a couple of times had 50 and 60 pounds added to her bill for internet use.

 

when she phoned them they said they would sort out the signals for them both but nothing changed.

 

phoned again and they said it must be the phones. i have the same one on t.mobile and have never had a problem. took them both back to apple and got them changed but no difference. when my daughter phoned again they advised her to upgrade her contract from £33 to £47 which would give her more internet and 4g.she paid that for 6mths or more and in that time was still useless and never got 4g at all.

 

when she phoned again recently she was told that her iphone 5 was not compatible with 4g which is total rubbish also. that was the final straw for my wife and daughter and they have both now gone out and got contracts with someone else and have not had a problem in the last 2 weeks. can they get out of them contracts as they was not getting the service they were paying for.if not is there anything they can do.

 

regards gripper.

hi rebel11,

dont worry will definately let you know the outcome. looking at getting these cancelled as the only option really as the service has been disgusting to say the least and the people at vodaphone that my wife and daughter have spoken to have done nothing but fob them off and have not really got a clue. the only awkward thing is is how far will my family members go. if it was me id go all the way. we are talking over 1k here i think for both contracts left to run that they are no longer using. we,ll see. lee from vodaphone is phoning me today between 2.30 and 7.30.

thanks gripper.

ATTEN LEE PLEASE.

 

hi lee,

its been a while since we have heard anything and i appreciate how busy you must be with vodaphone problems but my wife has paid another £126 since bringing the problem to light. my daughter has had a letter from ardent credit services to pay !08.76 which i believe they are taking £5 a week. or £329.03 to cancel early. this is not agreeable so need to know what you are doing about it.

 

regards bob.
