    • retailer said they'd speak to dpd on Tuesday. I don't want to screw the retailer because they were doing me a favour by fixing it for free  I hope dpd will refund them so they don't lose out. Will keep you guys posted. 
    • Well, we live on the same road so it should be the same postcode. When I spoke to dpd and asked why were my neighbours' address not on the list and she said maybe they're not of the same postcode and I checked and they definitely were. Not to mention, delivery instructions are supposed to override actual customer's address which is why they asked for instructions I thought.
    • again a quick google search states Appeal a DVLA fine - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk) i would not be appealing mind. it's only a summary charge which they rarely do court on and pass out the powerless DCA's whom are not bailiffs they have 6mts. see where they go. as you've sorn'd it will probably be nulled. dx  
    • There are a number of reasons why you may not have been issued a notice in the post within 14 days. If you were stopped by the police it may have been given verbally. In the case of speeding offences, the police may issue you with a conditional offer of a fixed penalty of 3 points and £100.00 fine by post or an offer of a speed awareness course. If the offence is considered too serious for a speed awareness course or fixed penalty you may be charged with an offence which normally occurs by way of the issue of a Single Justice Procedure Notice. If the vehicle within which the alleged offence took place was registered to another person or company there is technically no need for a notice to be issued to the driver. After the police have obtained details of the nominated the driver, they will normally send the notice to them, although there are no time limits within which they must do so (provided that the notice was received within 14 days by the registered keeper of the vehicle). In such circumstances, a person may receive a notice several months after the alleged offence too place but still be prosecuted.

    • 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.

Evening all,

 

I'm looking for advise on a statutory demand.

 

 

Today I have had a letter through the door saying they have tried to serve a sta demand and will return on the 3rd Of October to attempt again,

saying if I'm not in (which I won't be because I will be at work) they will post it and class this as served. Now I'm not sure what I should do next.

 

I've not made any payment or acknowledged any debt for nearly 4 years but still quite a way from the 6 year limit.

 

what should I do about the stat demand,

It is Lowell via a company called BW Legal, company serving appears to be P&A Receivables Services - the original debt was (I think ) Bank OF Scotland - the debts have moved around so often through DCA's that I've lost track a bit of who was the original creditor

Evening all

 

I am in need of some advice on how to respond to stat demand.

 

This evening I have come home to a letter through the door, hand delivered which says they have been directed to serve a statutory demand and that they have tried wice today but not been able to meet me. They say they will return on the 3rd of OCtober and if I'm not in, I'll be at work so won't be in, they will post it consider this to be served.

 

The debt in question is one bought by lowel which has been in default since mid 2009.

 

I'm not sure what I should do now. I am now working and could make a minimal offer of payment if this will stop any bankruptcy but is this the best thing to do?

 

Any and all advice gratefully accepted.

 

Thanks for reading.

Is that their normal method?

 

The statutory demand will contain all the details of what is owed and you can obviously ask BW Legal to clarify any information, before you agreed to any repayments. If you have any assets e.g a house, then you would probably be best to agree affordable repayments, rather than take any risk with bankruptcy, as the costs would then be massive, with the potential of your house being sold to pay the debt plus costs.

We could do with some help from you.

Obviously I want to avoid the bankruptcy but though I 'own' a house it is only half mine as it has both mine and my ex wifes name on the it and furthermore it is worthless - in that we are in negative equity so selling it wouldn't be in anybodies interest to be honest.

 

I'm going to make them work but will ultimately propose a payment plan once more to all the creditors on a pro rata basis once I know what element of the debts are actually fees and interest - which for quite a few is well over 50%

Hi All

 

Sorry it's taken a while to update on this, been offline for a little while.

 

In the end they simply accepted my offer of payment - an offer that had previously been made to various holders of the debt over the last few years!

 

Thanks for all the help - this site is an absolute god send and I wish I could do more to help!

Evening All (again)

 

 

I was issued with an SD from BW Legal for Lowells and due to timings felt I had to enter into an agreement with them. I'm now wondering whether I can still challenge this or has entering the agreement effectively ended those avenues?

 

 

One of the accounts was a Lloyds bank account which they'd added about 1400 of charges to and I'm somewhat annoyed I never challenged this.

Yes you can send a section 77/78 request for a copy of the agreements...on all the accounts in question...except current account overdrafts.

Not sure I understood all that but does make me wish I'd had the courage to take the b******s on - just had to much on the line, if I'd lost it would have been my job and possibly home gone (I'm a company director - not as grand as it sounds but it's a job - so would have lost it)

Simply put them to proof as in the above thread and you too could end up with costs.

Just a quick post.

 

Thankfully a while back I picked up the link to Noodle for free access to my credit report.

 

Went to check it the other day - something I do frequently but not often enough!

- only to see one of my debts had increased by over £500.00!

 

I call the debt holder (Lowell) who don't know why charges have been added

but were at least able to tell me what the charges were (interest plus some other legal fees?)

but I'd need to speak to BW Legal who were dealing with it.

 

I call BW who confirm it was (in the main) interest being added.

Now I asked them whether it was legal or indeed moral to add charges on an account

where it was clear the person was in debt trouble and, as relevant,

if they weren't the debt owners why on earth were they adding charges.

 

The long and short is they have apologised and said it was an 'error' (yeah sure it was) and are refunding

- though I'll end up going back over the fee's I suspect.

 

This is another issue with using the SD route

- with a CCJ they at least have to stop all interest, with a payment arrangement like this it appears they are free to add interest.

 

I know most on here will already do this but if you are new to this game - get access to your credit report and check it monthly!

You shouldn't be discussing with either of those outfits and certainly not using words they don't understand , eg moral. Keep things in writing as you need a paper trail.

 

It seems you're being threatened with a S D. If so , why not post up details for others to comment?

you have a very unhealthy habit looking most of your threads

of immediately picking up the phone and getting fleeced by these people
