    • There are two things to immediately clarify. Firstly, why did court papers go to the wrong address?  In 99% of backdoor CCJ cases here the person moves and doesn't update the vehicle log book address.  Or they move and they don't inform the parties who they are in legal dispute with of the new address.  Does either of these apply to you? Secondly, given this has been going on for over three years without presumably any ill effects on you, how important is it for you to have a clean credit file?  I ask as, if you do absolutely nothing, the CCJ will disappear in April 2027.
    • Sorry to ask, but I know I had SB template on PC, but can't find it. Also any search for template\SB letter takes me back here.  Any help to get to SB letter would be appreciated. I know I used it on a car HP co that wouldn't honor my FCS refund and after 6 years came threatening ( or rather their DCA). Worked a treat. Thanks in advance
    • Received this letter today after all this time !! Doesn’t sound like just a threat any advice please  Thanks  Photo.pdf
    • Good evening. Hoping to keep this short and concise. Any help really appreciated! Sent originated from council tax in 2019.  I moved address for a new career 240miles away in December 2019 and have lived here ever since.  A distant friend resides at previous address.  A CCJ was filed regarding this debt in January 2020 but no correspondence was received my end or at the old address.  Move forward to this year; early April I learn of a letter received from Bailiff - Notice of Enforcement dated 13/03. Stated I had ten days to settle a payment/payment plan or £75 will be added after ten days from 13/03 and bailiff instructed to visit.  Obviously I was unaware of this letter till well after the time period passed. Attempted to contact Dukes via email but zero response. Asked for breathing space in order to check the original debt with the respective council (I wasn’t awarded a week of Housing despite being on UC for a short period due to a contract date given by the old employer).  29/04 a note was left at the old address stating a bailiff had visited. New balance £310 more than original outstanding.  I’ve since contacted both the council and the bailiff agent to state I’m more than happy to settle the original debt over a payment plan but at this stage they will not remove the fees despite all correspondence not being sent to me and obviously me only seeing them much later than one would have expected.  Tried live chat today with the company and firstly was told the fees will remain because I spoke to the enforcement agent - I have never spoken to him/her.  secondly told the fees would remain because “I tried to use their web chat service to complete an income form” - I have zero recollection of doing this and I also wonder if it’s another tactic? any help on where I stand with the fees added would be incredible. Thank you
    • the evidence you have from Mercedes is perfect. simply write to both the finance company and the dealership that sold you the car, stating under the consumer rights Act 2015 should a fault appear outside of 6mts, it's for the consumer to prove the fault was present at time of sale. Please find enclosed a copy of said report from Mercedes at XXXX stating quite clearly that the windscreen was replaced on Date , some xxx months/years BEFORE my purchase on DATE. there is a bill to pay of XXX to XXX , i expect you to sort this out between yourselves , i am not liable for this. something upon those lines anyway.

    • 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.

Gregory Transport, (Somerset), wants caravans banned between the hours of 6am and 6pm in the months of July and August.

 

Wouldn't it be more sensible to ban lorries during those time and even more sensible to ban lorries from taking a couple of miles to overtake another lorry so blocking the road.

 

I think there are a lot of caravaners, (and non caravaners), who might have something to say about that. The man is demented.

I believe he is probably on about small country lanes and that sort of road being blocked by inconsiderate caravans. If only the caravan drivers(not all but most that I have come across) would pull over and let queues past, it would be fine. But they wont. They drive down country lanes at 15mph and wont pull over for anything. And then scowl as you overtake.

Why should they show ambers? They have lights front and rear and they obey the speed limits. The only vehicles that require them are oversize or slow moving. Drivers should be aware of there surroundings and drive accordingly. lorries are an integral part of the system and to ban them from road between certain times would cause chaos. You would soon be annoyed when it takes 4 days instead of two to delivered your parcel instead of two.

 

In essence I agree with your post though in that it is not the way forward to ban them between certain times at all. They have just as much right to be on the highway. Lets just all drive a bit more considerately and we will all get along fine.

Having watched this in more detail on the evening news, this was something that will never ever happen and was just a publicity stunt by the company.

 

 

Lets have a caravan day out in Somerset, (not that I've got one) :)

We would get our morning paper and Cornflakes for breakfast because they would be delivered overnight.

 

 

Lorries take miles to overtake because one can do 2mph more than the one in front and are going to overtake it at all cost.

A million caravan owners wouldn't agree the same as umpteen million bike riders have always done a drip when it has been suggested they are taxed and insured.

 

Cyclists shouldnt be taxed. But as a keen cyclist myself, we should have some form of insurance.

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..

It takes ages for lorrys to overtake because company's like tesco asda ECt limit them to around 52 mph on motor ways and on duel carriage ways where cars can do 50 lorrys have to go 40

Sorry, where are your figures from? I'm pretty sure....no, scratch that, I'm certain that all lorries are speed limited by vosa approved tachograph centers where they are limited to 56 mph.

 

They can drive at 56 mph on motorways.

 

They can drive at 56 mph on duel carriageways.

 

They have to drive to a maximum of 40mph on single carriageways unless the posted speed limit is lower.

So by your thinking, not only should lorries travel at night, but every single uk business must be open 24hrs a day to trade during the day and take deliveries at night?

The Sprinter I drive has a Limited to 70 mph sticker on it, it can do just over 80 ( so I've been told ) :)

Funny, not long after that post, I was following a Tesco lorry..... At 56. 55 on my speedo and 56 on the sat nav. I trust the sat nav. I have actually wasted alot of time today following lorries and only found one that was under 56 on the motorway. And that was a horse box doing a respectful 40 on the motorway...grrrr

 

But yes, in law, they are limited to 56. In reality, to p*** us off, the tree huggers have reduced them further. A quick google does seem to throw up quite a few results about 52mph limiters to save fuel.
