    • 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. A Guide to a Notice of Intended Prosecution | Motoring Offence Lawyers the above copy n paste link has purely been copy n pasted here to inform you of the regs, which you could have done yourself by, as this is, a google search......... we do not ever recommend using such offered webservices! dont dx

    • 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.

My partner has received a letter from the above company stating

"they are trying to contact the above named person(her) relating to a personal matter"

at an address included in the letter.

 

She has never heard of the address and has no contact with anyone at that address which is over 250 miles from where we live.

 

Is it best to ignore this letter,telephone the number provided or write to them telling them they have the wrong person please?

 

Thanks .

Regards Kev

Definitely IGNORE it.

 

DO NOT do their dirty work for them.

It is standard practice for these outfits to send each household who shares the same name or initials as their intended victim letters

in the desperate hope they will get one unfortunate victim who will make contact, where they will then harass them.

 

Check your OH credit file and see if they've been searching their credit file.

No worries, start a diary of events, just in case, this method of ''tracing'' is unacceptable, but it usually means they know their intended victim

and this is the start of their tedious letter tennis.

 

Defo check her Credit Files, NODDLE is free.

When you say " letter tennis" can we assume this is just the beginning of letters to her ?

If so, do we ignore these as well ?

Wouldn't a solicitor's letter --- we have a friend who is a solicitor -- sent recorded delivery stop them?

I'm a bit confused ...

Regards again Kev

It ''could'' mean the beginning of a very lethargic game of letter ping pong, hence why you ignore them and check credit files to see what is on there, if anything.

 

The use of a solicitors letter is as much use as indicators on a submarine, one, solicitors just have a few letters after their name but generally we can all live without them for the little they actually do, and two, it only encourages DCA's who have absolutely no morale fibre and make up the rules as they go along, until they realise to push it any further will result in them being exposed in a real court where real judges will pull them to pieces.

 

What you have there is the standard blanket bomb tracing letter, it give absolutely zero indication of who, why or what they are after, so the advice is to always ignore it.

 

But in the meantime, do your homework, check credit files and see if there is something on there that they may be chasing.

Usually Lowlifes, chase Mobile Phone debts and Credit Cards, check noddle, which is free, but not always 100% accurate, it will give you a rough idea.

Then forget it, if it's not on your CRF this is another of their state of the art tracing activities, also known as 'phishing'. Lowlifes are

well renowned for this and their 'phantom payments'.

Another letter today with the amount of "debt" outstanding and a reference number to Lowell Portfolio1.

The debt was to a well known company that she hasn't had any dealings with

 

 

she phoned Lowell Portfolio1 explaining that she has lived at her address for the last 30 years

and has no knowledge of the address involved or dealings with the company concerned.

 

The guy she spoke to had lots of details about her including phone numbers but no email address which she refused to give him.

 

He apologized for the mix up and suggested that she recheck here credit files

including the "address" section to see if any odd addresses appeared --

-- she has done this and found nothing.

 

She was given the guy's name and telephone extension number along with a phone number to ring

if she found an odd address on her credit files.

 

We now hope this is the end of the matter................I have my doubts .

Regards

Back that up with a letter headed "FORMAL COMPLAINT" to Lowells and state that you will be contacting the Information Commissioners Office about this if they don't remove her details from their records.

 

Clearly they are making you do their work.

Many thanks for your reply ----- the guy "seemed" very helpful and stated that her details will be removed.

If any further letters are received then we will follow your advice.

Thanks.

Edit : I've read your post in 2 ways --- a letter to them will be drafted today .

Ringing them would have been the last thing I'd have done.

 

However, lets see if they keep to their word and stop the harassment.

quill 1959.

I am perfectly happy to have your post attached to this thread as it is exactly the same as mine.

I have looked at that template which makes interesting reading .

My partner is not freaked out at all by these letters as she isn't responsible for the debt --- it's just a pain in the rear. !!

Oh, if anyone from Lowell Portfolio1 is reading this ............................

Regards

Not wishing to tempt fate but nothing further has been received from Lowell Portfolio1.

If anyone from the company is reading this then --"thank you --- you 100% had the wrong person".

In this case the phone call seemed to do the trick --- I hope.

Many thanks for all those who gave advice and helped..

Well let's start by saying I hope you all had a good Christmas and New Year.

 

Today ,6 months after my partner received a letter from Lowell,

another arrived in the post still claiming she owes £xxx .

 

A phone call to them and the guy said she needs to contact a debt collection agency to sort it -

--- the debt collection agency said the guy was wrong and referred back to Lowell.

 

A different person at Lowell has given her the phone number of someone different to contact ----

that's tomorrow's task .

 

What a pain in the rear end ----

- we had been having a brilliant day up until getting home to check the post .

 

Will keep you up to speed .....
