    • dont go near them bunch of scammers! ive removed ref. dx  
    • I used to post regularly in order to provide factual information (rather than advice) but got fed up with banging my head against a brick wall in so many cases when posters insisted black was white and I was writing rubbish. I have never posted anything which was untrue or indeed biased in any way.  I have never given 'advice' but have sought to correct erroneous statements which were unhelpful. The only username I have ever used is blf1uk. I have never gone under any other username and have no connection to 'bailiff advice'.  I am not a High Court Enforcement Officer but obtained my first 'bailiff' certificate in 1982. I'm not sure what records you have accessed but I was certainly not born in 1977 - at that time I was serving in the Armed Forces in Hereford, Germany (4th Division HQ) and my wife gave birth to our eldest.   Going back to the original point, the fact is that employees of an Approved Enforcement Agency contracted by the Ministry of Justice can and do execute warrants of arrest (with and without bail), warrants of detention and warrants of commitment. In many cases, the employee is also an enforcement agent [but not acting as one]. Here is a fact.  I recently submitted an FOI request to HMCTS and they advised me (for example) that in 2022/23 Jacobs (the AEA for Wales) was issued with 4,750 financial arrest warrants (without bail) and 473 'breach' warrants.  A breach warrant is a community penalty breach warrant (CPBW) whereby the defendant has breached the terms of either their release from prison or the terms of an order [such as community service].  While the defendant may pay the sum [fine] due to avoid arrest on a financial arrest warrant, a breach warrant always results in their transportation to either a police station [for holding] or directly to the magistrates' court to go before the bench as is the case on financial arrest warrants without bail when they don't pay.  Wales has the lowest number of arrest warrants issued of the seven regions with South East exceeding 50,000.  Overall, the figure for arrest warrants issued to the three AEAs exceeds 200,000.  Many of these were previously dealt with directly by HMCTS using their employed Civilian Enforcement Officers but they were subject to TUPE in 2019 and either left the service or transferred to the three AEAs. In England, a local authority may take committal proceedings against an individual who has not paid their council tax and the court will issue a committal summons.  If the person does not attend the committal hearing, the court will issue a warrant of arrest usually with bail but occasionally without bail (certainly without bail if when bailed on their own recognizance the defendant still fails to appear).   A warrant of arrest to bring the debtor before the court is issued under regulation 48(5) of The Council Tax (Administration and Enforcement) Regulations 1992 and can be executed by "any person to whom it is directed or by any constable....." (Reg 48(6).  These, although much [much] lower in number compared to HMCTS, are also dealt with by the enforcement agencies contracted by the local authorities. Feel free to do your own research using FOI enquiries!  
    • 3rd one seems the best option, let 'em default, don't pay a penny, nothing will happen, forget about all of this. As for Payplan don't touch them with a bargepole, nothing they can do that you can't, and they will pocket fees. A do it yourself DMP is pointless as it will just string out the statute barred date to infinity.
    • Because that’s what the email said. Anyway it’s done now. Posted and image emailed.    im doing some reading in preparation for defence but I will need my hand holding quite tightly by you good people.  I’m a little bit clueless

    • 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.

At least i had the bit of DLA to live on but what if you were not on DLA how are you supposed to feed yourself and heat your home.Iam still massively in debt to my family as the DLA i get didn't cover the outgoings i had to pay.

They would say that there wasn't anything preventing you claiming JSA only to without any doubt ending up getting sanctioned within a short period of time

Well the last time i went to my local Jobcentre Plus the woman i saw stated i wasn't fit enough in her opinion to look for work so i couldn't claim JSA. Saying that if i did claim JSA what would happen to the backdated money they owe me would i have still got that or not.

I have not phoned them yet i thought it would be automatic that i was put back on but ive not had anything from them regarding this. I have had a letter today regarding my backdated money, ive had to fill in a form with my details they need but nothing regarding being put back on my normal benefits.

 

I don't know if i should leave it to my local MP who is looking into it or ring them myself. Ive just this minute had a letter from my local MP as i was typing this who has forwarded my enquiries to the MP Liaison team for JCP and she will get back in touch when she receives their reply.

Yes, you'll still get the backdated payments even if your next medical finds you fit for work.

I might be over thinking this but with me getting my local MP involved will this have hastened the DWP in making me go for a medical or am i just being paranoid.

 

Well, it's an understandable thing to think but no, getting your MP involved won't have hastened the process. When was your first medical, the one that you appealed against?

It was the 10th May antone. My head is done in at the minute because I've just been charged £150 (£100 fine) from the NHS for dental treatment I thought I was exempt from paying.

 

You MUST defend that, is there anything on their letter to tell you how you can appeal?

Who ever heard of someone getting a job at the Jobcentre? The unemployed are sent there as penance for their sins, not to help them find work!

Ah, right - that is quite a short time between medicals. Not unheard of, but certainly on the shorter side of normal, if you see what I mean.

 

And I agree with Bazooka Boo: you should appeal against the fine from the NHS. Since you were successful at the Tribunal, it's likely that you should have been entitled to free treatment and the fine should not have been imposed.

Hi missy2006.

Just came across your thread.

What a time you have had.

I will just try to find some information for you about dental appeals and anything connected.

As you have just said you are ringing the Welfare Rights people on Monday.

 

Just for others a link for the Welfare Rights people.

It is surprising how much money is unclaimed.

Welcome to Welfare Rights on the Net.

http://www.welfarerights.net/home.php

 

I would be ringing the DWP on Monday as well.

It is clearly time for you to receive some paperwork.

In your situation you can clearly pay no fine.

And without paperwork it is perhaps hard to appeal.

 

Some info,i will find more.I am on the site now.

NHS Dental Services

Welcome to the NHS Business Services Authority Knowledge Base, the place to ask us anything you need to know

Penalty Charge Appeals Process

This guide outlines the steps of the appeals process for NHS dental treatment penalty charges.

You can make an appeal when you think the penalty charge has been applied incorrectly and you

want us to review our decision

Will pop back later today and see how you are.

You must be feeling tired of this by now.

But looking optimistically it sounds like you are nearly there now.

Thank goodness.

You have been through a lot in the last couple of years..I read your thread post by post.

Take care missy 2006 i will follow your thread

not being funny but with the appeals process I thought when it was overturned at tribunal you would be put in one of the ESA groups for a (quite long) period of time say for 1 year or 3 years depending on your health condition with no need for another medical in that period?

 

if someone has been found in favour at tribunal but failed there WCA due to points which is common they gotta go through the WCA MR then tribunal cycle again and again? it don't seem logical hence I thought at tribunal once put in one of the groups for a period of time (year or years) you don't have a medical or WCA within that time. unless obviously it was set for say a year then being backdated it may mean the WCA may be up again in 6 months

Hi missy 2006

Hope you are feeling ok this morning.

I read your thread through post by post and it is important to others who come this way to do the same.

Then you can see the full picture of what has happened,understand the situation fully.

 

Many people and the site team have posted information and support throughout the thread.

I fully understand how you must feel.

But hopefully this week surely the situation will be sorted out.

Best wishes and keep us updated when you make those phone calls tomorrow.

No harm in asking is there.

They are only ordinary people on the phone and surely themselves will be happy to help you.

Welfare rights and the DWP do you feel missy 2006 this is correct.Maybe the DWP first for a update.

And of course if you feel like it.

No i went to the tribunal because the DWP took me off ESA because i did not attend the medical because i was bad in bed with my back, it wasn't because i didn't get the relevant points.

 

I completely forgot about that - my apologies, I know you did say this earlier in the thread.

 

In that case, it's not at all surprising that they've called you in for a WCA so soon. Annoying, yes, but not surprising.

Well ive just checked my bank and ive been paid my backdated money they owed me. Regarding the hassle with the dentists, i had to go to the DWP and they put on the form that i was on benefits at the time so i sent this off but ive not had any reply from them as yet. I hope they have received it because i only had 28 days before i incurred a further fine, maybe i should phone them up to see if they received it.

Well that is good news, as for being fined on top of the fine, forget it IMO, if the DWP have confirmed your were in receipt of social security, then it will wipe out the first 'fine'.

But if you want peace of mind, then by all means ring them, but ensure you don't get drawn in to any protracted discussion with them.

Who ever heard of someone getting a job at the Jobcentre? The unemployed are sent there as penance for their sins, not to help them find work!

Well it just gets worse. today i had a call by the DWP stating ive been knocked off ESA the woman said my money stops from today along with my housing benefits, she didn't tell me if i got any points she just said they would send the letter out today. she also said i would have to sign on jobseekers and i said what's the point in that, the last time i went to the DWP they said i wasn't fit to get a job and she said there will be a job that you can do. i said i need a hip replacement she said still there will be a job you can do.

 

How can they leave people to try and survive on fresh air how are people supposed to feed themselves this country stinks and i cant wait till im out of it all.

Sorry i must of forgot to say i had to go for the dreaded medical on the 24th November 2015 and obviously i didn't receive the required points more than likely i got 0. The person i saw was a male nurse, can someone please explain to me what expertise does a nurse have to assess someone with mental health issues, how can they possibly have the expertise to assess anyone.

 

If someone goes to one of these medicals surely they must have someone who is an expert in these matters. You wouldn't let a GP to do an operation on someone so why do they let people with no expertise in mental health to assess someone and say they are fit for work.
