    • if the agreement was taken out jan 23, then she has not reached the 1/3rd mark so the car has not become protected goods under the consumer credit act.  this puts her in a very very vulnerable position regarding ever keeping the car....whereby once they have issued a default notice they can legally send a guy with a flatbed (though they are NOT BAILIFFS and have ZERO legal powers) to collect the car.  if the car is kept on the public highway then they can simply take it away and she will legally owe the whole stated amount on the agreement AND lose the car. if it's on private property i'e like a driveway, ok they shouldn't take it without her agreeing, but if they do, it's not really on but its better than a court case and an inevitable loss with the granting a return of goods order. are these 'health reasons' likely to resolve themselves in the very short term (like a couple of months?) and can she immediately begin working again ? i'e has she got a job or would have to find one?  answer the above and we'll try and help. but she looks to be between rock and a hard place . whatever happens she will still have to pay the loan off...car or no car....unless you can appeal to the finance company's better nature using health reasons to back off for xxx months.
    • no need to use it. it doubles the size of the thread and makes it very diff to find replies on small screens too. just like @username it - sends unnecessary alerts to people. everyone that's posted on your thread already inc you ...gets an automatic email alert when someone else posts.
    • Hello all,   I ordered a laptop online about 16 months ago. The laptop was faulty and I was supposed to send it back within guarantee but didn't for various reasons. I contacted the company a few months later and they said they will still fix it for me free of charge but I'd have to pay to send it to them and they will pay to send it back to me. The parcel arrived there fine. Company had fixed it and they sent it via dpd. I was working in the office so I asked my neighbours who would be in, as there's been a history of parcel thefts on our street. I had 2 neighbours who offered but when I went to update delivery instructions, their door number wasn't on the drop down despite sharing the same post code.  I then selected a neighbour who I thought would likely be in and also selected other in the safe place selection and put the number of the neighbour who I knew would definitely be in and they left my parcel outside and the parcel was stolen. DPD didn't want to deal with me and said I need to speak to the retailer. The retailer said DPD have special instructions from them not to leave a parcel outside unless specified by a customer. The retailer then said they could see my instructions said leave in a safe space but I have no porch. My front door just opens onto the road and the driver made no attempt to conceal it.  Anyway, I would like to know if I have rights here because the delivery wasn't for an item that I just bought. It was initially delivered but stopped working within the warranty period and they agreed to fix it for free.  Appreciate your help 🙏🏼   Thanks!

    • 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.

I received an "Attendance Notice" yesterday and finally got through to the bailiff this morning.

 

 

He declined my offer of 4 monthly payments as my previous arrangement had been broken and required full payment or he would have to seize goods/cars.

 

 

I explained that I suffered from angina and had several recent attacks and I was self employed but he said that was no excuse as he had never complained when he was suffering with cancer.

 

 

I have to call him again later and don't know what to do, I do not have the money to pay him.

Any ideas anyone, or should I just accept the inevitable?

 

 

106 views and no comments. Is that because there is nothing I can do as I broke the previous arrangement?

There are loads of views most likely due to the fact people are looking for the same advice for similar problems.

 

People on here who provide the help are volunteers and have day jobs and will look at the forum when able but be sure of one thing any advice you get will be good advice.

 

Just hang on in there, people will respond as soon as they possible can.

more details required as to the history of this.

 

 

It relates to 2013/14 council tax and we originally agreed to pay monthly for 4 months with their office but we were unable to make the payments.

Michelle,

 

As the poster Daverules has stated above we are all volunteers on here and will answer queries in between our day jobs etc. In order to provide excellent advice we will however need to have further details on the background etc to this query. As an example:

 

How much is the Liability Order passed to Rundles Ltd?

 

Was a payment proposal set up on receipt of the Notice of Enforcement or did you receive a personal visit from the bailiff?

 

When was the payment agreement set up?

 

You state above that Rundles accepted a proposal to pay the debt by way of 4 monthly payments. How many payments have you so far managed to pay?

 

You mentioned above that you have a car. How much roughly is it worth?

 

If the car on finance?

 

Can you outline a little bit about your personal circumstances (married, single etc /benefits etc)

 

Have you previously made Rundles aware of your angina?

It keeps hopping between stable and unstable - felt totally unstable today!!! Regular checks at St Georges in London in their cardio unit rather than the GP.

 

 

Anyway, my husband spoke to a friend who had experience of this, and she said don't call, text him. Probably, a more level headed conversation where I could list my points.

 

 

It worked, he agreed by text (so no confusion) and I got more time to pay than I anticipated.

 

 

Thank you, to you all. You have been a great help to a very stressed FM.

I would suggest you still follow the "vulnerable" route with regard to your illness. If you attend Cardio rather than GP then your condition must be deemed more serious than the person who just gets the odd twinge now & then. If you could get a letter or similar explaining your condition and how continuing action could exacerbate things then there could be a chance the debt could be returned to the Council. It doesn't mean the debt is wiped out but it could mean that the £235 fee could be waived.

Thanks for all your help. What I meant to ask before, if a bailiff gains entry or clamps a car, but goods/car will obviously not clear the debt/costs, can they keep attempting to enforce the debt or is it finished?

  • 1 month later...

I have paid around 45% of this so far and had promised payments would be made yesterday (which I couldn't make) and the balance next week, but I had to pay two and a half months mortgage to avoid action and this has obviously put a strain on my finances.

 

 

The bailiff has accepted one broken promise after another - any ideas on the best way to approach them for more time to pay or is this unrealistic at this stage?
