    • Thanks for this! I'm still not clear if I'm facing more than 6 points on my license though. Can you explain any further please? When I accept the 2nd speeding ticket, will they just charge me £100 and 3 points, or will they be more severe concenquences since that offense took place the following day of the 1st offense? Similarly, when I accept the 3rd offense, will they look at my record or just charge me with the £100 fine and 3 points?
    • Yes of course. That's why it says cc:: BIg Motoring World at the bottom. Don't imagine that this solves the issue. It doesn't. He not have to force the finance company and big motoring world to accept the rejection to give your money back. I suggest that you get the letter off tomorrow. And let us know what you hear but on Friday you should then send a threat to the finance company.   Have a look what I have said here about your options and read the whole thread as well.  
    • Been perusing the actual figures on the polls above wondering where the '16% claimed for deform comes from? I understand that there are 'weighted' end results based on secret calculations ...   Probably going to repeat this later, but remember that the ukip/brexit/reform/deform party has ALWAYS had poll speculation FAR better than their actual  performance at elections - by large margins. SO: The labor and Tory votes come largely from simply the people who say they will vote for them - sorted Lab 43% Tory 20%, with maybe another small 1-2% coming from the weightings of the 'not sures' Greens largely get what is declared from 'other' , although with another declared green bit from the 'pressed' question   So as the share of the voting displayed in 'other' granted to reform/deform is around 11%, where does the '16% too often being reported come from? Seems that reform has been granted as beneficiary of effectively ALL the don't knows and wont says, who when pressed didn't actually declare for someone else ... effectively adding 40%+ to their reported polling % - rather strange given their consistent under-performance compared to polling - or perhaps that is the cause of the higher rating eh?   Now I admit the possibility (probability?) of wingers being ashamed of declaring their support for the yuckey lemon end of the spectrum ... but surely  that should affect the 'Torys as well? Maybe the statisticians have simply weighted in that deform wingers are simply more likely to lie?   But - without 'weightings' and assumptions that faragits will get everything that isnt declared as a definite and unequivocal 'not that Piers Morgan' - reform is on around 11% it seems.   Add to that the history of polling a lot less than the hype - and the simple fact that faragit wingers seem to be spread across the country (presumably skulking in their moms spare room despite being 45+) and greens and lib dems seem to be community minded - I think two seats will be an epic result for farage. Hardly the opposition - far more raving wingnut party.   and importantly - Has farage got a home in clacton yet?

    • 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.

Quick question.

 

If you have already had a bad debt (sorry minds gone blank on the word) on your credit file for 5 years on a debit (the 5 years is now over)

and the creditor can't find ur CCA agreement and you moved home.

 

Forgot to inform the creditor and

 

a letter from a different creditor (11of them) turns up on your door step.

 

(10 statements and one letter to say I've failed to inform them).

 

Can they issue a CCJ against my file on the same debt?

 

Also do I have to inform them I now do live at this address.

 

They asked me to contact them without further delay to confirm

 

how I propose to lay off my outstanding balance (like that's going to happen)

If you dont inform them and they get a ccj then it is much harder to get a set aside because the claom was served at the last known good address.

 

Also cag doesnt condone debt avoidance. Can you give some background on this debt.

Any advice i give is my own and is based solely on personal experience. If in any doubt about a situation , please contact a certified legal representative or debt counsellor..

Hi. Some advise please if you can. Long story short.

 

I had a debt with HSBC (2004)

 

I defaulted and had a red tick debt on my account for 5 years (sorry my mind has gone blank and I can't think off the word)

Went to credit collectors.

I was paying monthly.

 

Suddenly out the blue I get a voicemail on phone(2008) from another creditor saying I owe them the debt.

 

I seeked advise on the consumer forum.

 

Wrote a letter to the 'new' debt collector agency asking for my CCA.

They can't find it....

Being getting statements ever since.

 

I moved home earlier this year

advised all my creditors but

forgot about the DLC as I only get a yearly statement.

 

Today I came home to 11 letters from DLC 10 statement pages and

one letter saying I've failed to inform them of my new address.

 

I must confirm this is my new address and

 

how I wish to proceed to pay the balance (yeah right -they can't find my original CCA I'm currently not paying).

 

Do I have to write back to them?

 

If I do does it show that I agree the debt is mine?

 

Can they get a CCJ on my old address on the same debt?

Hi

not since Jan 2008.

 

When the new company voicemailed me.

as I was not sure who they were and was worried if I start paying them I could then get letters from the other company too.

 

I sent them a letter (after finding the CAG) to ask for my original CCA

and they are still looking for it.

 

I've not paid them anything since.

 

They even tried to send me a standard letter by recorded delivery to get my signature.

 

Luckily I was soon hung over the day the post man came that my BF signed for it.

You arent obliged to tell them that you moved. However as already advised, if they were to obtain a CCJ at the old address, then they would have served the papers correctly and unless you had another good reason for a set aside, incorrect service could not be one of them.

 

Was there any PPI on this loan or maybe charges that could reduce it.

They did not sell the debt to Metropolitan. Metropolitan are part of the HSBC group - their inhouse collection agents.

 

Have you actually received from Hillsden group a Notice of Assignment ?

 

If there was already an agreement for a reduced payment plan in place with HSBC/Met Collect then Hillsden are obliged to continue with that plan.

 

Have a read of the following.

well under the new FCA conc rules they should then crease all comms

if you've not officially written informing them of your correct address then even if its SB theres nothing to stop them getting a CCJ using an old address.

 

the days of ignoring debt and then hoping it gets to SB ended years ago.

unless they are told its statute barred
