    • I see that at the start of your thread you said they hadn't sent a Letter of Claim.  And in fact in all the uploaded material there is no LoC.  This is great news.  Even were you to lose - you won't - the judge would chop off a chunk of the money for their non-respect of PAPLOC. However, I'm a bit confused as you've named the file name as a SAR.  Are you sure about this?  Did you send any other letters apart from the one dx advised which was a CPR request (not a SAR) to DCBL (not Group Nexus).  I'm not being pernickety, this will be important for your Witness Statement further down the line.
    • I didn’t say it wouldn’t. That is not the issue here. To continue driving after the licence has expired (under s88), the driver must have submitted a “qualifying application”.  An application disclosing a relevant medical condition (of which sleep apnoea is one) is not a “qualifying application”, This means the driver cannot take advantage of s88 and must wait for the DVLA to make its decision before resuming driving.   The driver’s belief is irrelevant. The fact that a licence was eventually granted may mitigate the offence, but does it does not provide a defence.   But this driver didn’t meet the conditions. I explained why in my earlier post. He only meets the conditions if his application does not declare a relevant medical condition. His did.   As I explained, after his birthday he did not hold a licence that could be revoked.   In my view it doesn’t matter what it says. The offence is committed because his application declared a medical condition. Meanwhile his licence expired and s88 is not available to him. The GP letter would form part of the material the DVLA would use to complete their investigations. But until those enquiries are completed he could not drive.   The offence does not carry points or a disqualification (because a licence could have been held by your father). It only carries a fine and the guideline is half a week’s net income. If he pleads guilty that fine will be reduced by a third. He will also pay a surcharge of 40% of that fine. But the big difference is prosecution costs: a guilty plea will see costs of about £90 ordered whilst being convicted following a trial will see costs in the region of £600.

    • 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.

Dear CAggers, wonder if any one has some advice.

 

i have been harrassed on an almost every other day basis by Claims Guys ( CGs) for payment of 'due fees'.

 

This relates to a case they pursued for me on a 'no win no fee basis'. In fact,

this particular case ( a loan from NAT WEST BANK, which as it turned out had already been dealt with succesfully by a differnt company a few years ago)

was 'dug out' by CGs after they sent a DSAR to RBS concerning a different case relating to some credit cards.

 

I was pleasantly shocked to hear from Claims Guys over a year ago now

that they had found a case with RBS who owed me over £4500 in PPI and that RBS had agreed to pay.

 

They did not tell me that this was the same case relating to the 'previous NAT West Loan.

 

So i assumed it related to some other loans or credit cards that i had had in the past.

They sent me the authority form subsequently and i signed it and returned it to them.

 

Afte some time a letter was indeed received from RBS to say that they owe me the sum of £4500 apprx.

To which, soon afterwards, Claims Guys quite rightly sent an invoice for their fees.

 

However the payment from RBS never materialised .

For over a year I got pursued by Claims guys regularly for their fees

and i received threatenning letters that my case is being passed on to debt collection agencies- hamilton fielding.

 

I kept telling claims guys i will pay them as soon as RBS sends me my cheque.

They contacted RBS last October 2013 and they came back to me saying the letter of authority was old

and RBS needed a new one. so

 

i gave them a new one which they forwarded to RBS.

 

Still no payment but still continued calls from claims guys as well as their standard threatenning letter.

 

Then last year I complained about it by wirintg,

They have not answered my complaints yet many months later.

 

However after some time- december 2013 they told me that RBS had gone back to them

and told them that there was no case as it had already been paid before

and it related to a loan with NAT West.

 

I confirmed that that was indeed paid some years ago.

 

Some of the workers there told me that they were going to speak to their managers about getting my name taken off their auto calling system

as there was no case to answer.

 

Yet i find myself in May 2014 still having to answer several calls per week from rude staff

who do not know really whats going on with my case except that the auto caller had put them on me.

 

They continue to request and continue to generate threatenning letters.

This is gettting beyong the joke as some of these staff are downright rude

 

.please let me know if anyone has experience similar and what can be done to rectify or stop these.

 

I have already told them i will complain to ministry of justice but this does not seem to stop them.

Ignore them.

 

If they ring laugh and hang up.

If they are calling you on your landline then contact your provider and go through their malicious calls procedure, if it is a mobile get a new number which nowadays should be free from your provider also.

 

Return all their letters marked RTS not known at this address, or just file them away in the 'ignore' drawer.

 

If you have complained to them, and they have sent you their final decision, OR it has been four weeks since you have complained and you are no further forward with ypur complaint, then you can escalate it using http://www.justice.gov.uk/downloads/claims-regulation/cmr-complaint-form.doc

please don't hit Quote...just type we know what we said earlier..

DCA's view debtors as suckers, marks and mugs

NO DCA has ANY legal powers whatsoever on ANY debt no matter what it's Type

and they

are NOT and can NEVER  be BAILIFFS. even if a debt has been to court..

If everyone stopped blindly paying DCA's Tomorrow, their industry would collapse overnight...

Thank you.

 

i do have a worry that they may claim that i have led them to pursue a claim which was already settled

and hence want me to pay their fees.

 

as i said previously i did not actually ask them to work on this

 

but they did so on their own after sending a DSAR

 

and finding out there was a loan with ppi on it.

It matters not, you have a lot more legal powers to throw at them than they would like you to think, or know about.

 

If they pluck that argument out then you know they are doomed to failure.

Hi Abdel

 

If the claim has been settled, they know the claim has been settled and you had a 'no win, no fee' and they chase you for 'fees', it borders on fraud on their part. They should have a complaints procedure. You have no reason to fear them.

Today they called again from collections and left a message.

 

I called back.

 

They tell me they are investigating my complaint of six months ago

 

and has now passed my file to their compliance team.

 

Said they have removed my name from the auto caller.

 

About the threatening legal notice letters said these are computer generated and can't do anything about it.

 

I have quoted the case mentioned by rebel11 and told them am preparing a case against them.
