    • I drove a friends a car for a few days and I used cuvva car insurance to insure myself for the time period. Here's the problem: I made a mistake with the dates on the insurance, I ended up driving uninsured for one day and I got a speeding ticket. My friend named me as the driver on the Notice of Intended Prosecution as she should and I will take the blame of course. Will met police ask for proof that I was in fact driving? I mean, any more other than me replying to the NIP that I will soon receive from them? Cause I assume that my insurance for the day will be the proof that they need... Secondly,  if caught driving uninsured, what will happen please? I read it's £300 and 6 points. Is that all or is it worse? I'm only asking for information from knowledgable people. If you intent to just mock, you're certainly not helping. Thanks
    • Hi, Please find letter sent to BMW with all evidence off issues which is a link from Audi. Unable to share the footage on this forum as I am not the best with tech BMW FAULTY CAR LETTER.docx
    • This is the first item that I've ever claimed for - I don't really send too many parcels, probably 5 in the last 5 years, and only two with P2G / EVRi. I've attached two emails from P2G regarding their requiring the documents. They don't specify in the emails what documents I should be sending, although when opening the claim they were requesting that I needed photographic proof of sending - picture of the parcel with their label attached, in the EVRi ParcelShop. The second email is their closing the enquiry due to my failure to produce said document(s). I haven't yet drafted my claim letter, I wanted to be sure of this document situation first before I began action. But therein lies another problem. Not having a P2G account, I cannot be sure of the item value that I declared. The retail value at the time was £600, which is less than the £650 I paid several months earlier, so I would likely have used that, but cannot be sure. And without having an account I can't check either. But, I know that I did properly declare the item and a value that reflected its then retail price - I was concerned this declaration may have been used to single the item for theft. But now that the retail price has reduced substantially, even though the nature of compensation is to return the claimant back to their original position, without my purchase receipt, I was concerned that I may have to claim for less. And yes, I've been through your huge document store of information, in addition to MoneySavingExpert, Which, Citizens Advice, Gov.uk "make a court claim", my own law books (annoyingly I specialised in consumer law when I studied for my law degree, but I graduated 17 years ago), and so now feel that its time to either act, or drop it.

    • 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,

 

Sorry if i'm posting this in the wrong section, i'm not even sure that it is something that people may be able to help with.

 

Anyway, i won't go into full details, but a family member is owed a large (six figure) amount of money mainly due to unwise business decisions and also being, well conned is probably the correct word to use.

 

So if it is something that someone may have some good advice on recovering the debt i will post the whole story so people may be able to help.

 

P.S. Not trying to portray a sob story but the person concerned is in their eighties and could possibly be made homeless quiet soon due to this situation.

 

Any help or advice would be hugely appreciated.

I think we would need more information.

 

Who owes the family member the money ?

 

Is there some form of contract or agreement in place - are you prepared to issue a claim against the person/company who owes the money ?

Thank you for your quick response.

 

Sorry i did'nt want to post all the information if i was asking in the wrong place.

 

The (very) basic situation is that they lent someone a large (£200,000+) amount of money to help them expand their business, and a repayment agreement was drawn up.

 

Unfortunately the recipitents business eventually folded, but the loan was made to the person as an individual so the debt still stands, but we believe the person who owes the money is now further in debt and that the bank is about to forclose on their mortgage and repocess their house. This being the only thing they have of any value will just about end any possibility of them being able to repay the debt.

 

So, yes they woud be prepared to make a claim against the person but are not sure as to what assets they have. Do you know whether it is possible to find out if anyone else other than their mortgage company could have a charge on their property and if so how, and possibily how many and what value? I suppose another question would be whether the actual repayment document would be a legally binding document as i don't think it was drawn up by a solicitor.

 

I know i'm waffling on somewhat and being rather vague, but i'm trying to ensure that the people involved would'nt be identified (if that makes sense).

 

Thank you

 

Sid.

Ok, well if there is a proper agreement in place, then you would be classed as a creditor and as such I would have thought there would be some way of getting at least some of the money back.

 

I will try and find someone who might be able to help.

 

I have to say, the sum you have mentioned is far outside of the sums we normally deal with on here, but at the very least we should be able to point you in the right direction.

You can see what charges/mortgages are registered against the property by doing a search on the land registry website, which will cost a few quid. This won't tell you the value of the outstanding debt though.

 

I can't comment on whether the repayment agreement is legally valid without more information about the document. If the document was signed after the loan was given in order to change the terms of repayment, there is a good chance that it might not be binding for lack of consideration (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Consideration_in_English_law). However, even if not binding, it would be good evidence that a verbal agreement was reached for repayment of the money.

 

You could try to take this person to court and then use the judgment to get a charging order over the property, which would help to give you a better chance of recovery if this person gets into more debt. That would help you to the extent there is equity left in the house after the mortgage company's claim.

Do you think there was any intention to repay the loan? If not a complaint to the police for fraud would be a step forward. You mention relative being conned so if you think that I would suggest there is some mileage there.

 

This is something i have thought about, but i'm not sure how we would prove that there was no intention to repay the debt. I personnaly, now knowing most of the facts about the debtor believe that they had know real intention of repaying the money, but proving it is a completely different thing.
