    • Hi,    It has taken a while, but I have received an email from Auxillis -  hello, we are not dealing with this claim all we do is log accident for you isnurance - the claim has been passed to your underwriter markerstudy 0344 873 8183 as they are deal with fault cliams ion behalf of adrian flux. thankyou auxillis   I have made repeated attempts to phone Markerstudy in between working from home, struggling for energy and trying to find a cheap car so that I can keep my job (community support worker). Thankfully I have a supportive team and I am being given phone calls to make but it cant last too long. I had a severe migraine over the weekend and also have quite bad whiplash in my neck and back.    I found this in my insurance policy booklet -    Protection and Recovery If the insured vehicle cannot be driven following an incident leading to a valid claim under this section, we will pay: • the cost of its protection and removal to the nearest approved repairer, competent repairer or nearest place of safety; and • the cost of re-delivery after repairs to your home address; and • the cost of storage of the insured vehicle incurred with our written consent. If the insured vehicle is damaged beyond economical repair we will arrange for it to be stored safely at premises of our choosing. You should remove your personal belongings from the insured vehicle before it is collected from you. In the event of a claim being made under the policy we have the right to remove the insured vehicle to an alternative repairer, place of safety or make our own arrangments for re-delivery at any time in order to keep the cost of the claim to a minimum     I do about 20-25000 miles a year with the work I do, I have been getting quotes and putting that I have now have one accident and no no claims bonus and the cheap quotes from similar companies to markerstudy are more than double what i paid last year at 8-900 and aviva is offering 2600 which is simply out of my price range and more than the car i am looking at.  I am starting to wonder if it is even worth going ahead with the claim as i have no one to claim from. I have had no information from any of the enquiries I have made.  I have a full tank of vpower diesel in the car in the impound, i can strip it for parts and probably make what I will be offered by the insurance payout and get the money quicker.  As I have made contact and started the process can I back out, still keep my NCB and a claim free history? Also what happens with my injuries? I don't think there is any permanent damage but my dr refused to see me and just gave me a boat load of naproxen and codeine. What happens in the future if things don't get better and I cancelled this claim? Can you claim injuries off your own insurance because the other guy ran and you cant find him? I have tried to ask these questions off markerstudy but they keep me waiting for nearly an hour then end the call.     
    • Thanks for the response. Am I able to send you the documents I’ve received or can you message via instant message and I’ll send these? Reece
    • Regretfully it does. Have you actually seen any papers which show what you were charged with (rather than what you were convicted of)? It is unusual not to be “dual charged” but if you were not charged with both, you are where you are. If you had been charged with both offences and providing you were the driver at the time, you could, after performing your SD, have asked the prosecutor to drop the “Fail to Provide” (FtP) charges in exchange for a guilty plea to the speeding charges (you cannot be convicted of speeding unless you plead guilty as they have no evidence you were driving). You will have difficulty defending the FtP charges. In fact, it’s worse than that – you have no chance of successfully defending them at all because the reason you did not respond to the requests is because you did not receive them and that’s entirely your fault. No it’s not correct. Six months from 18/11/23 was 18/5/24 so, unless they were originally charged, the speeding offences are now “timed out.” There is one avenue left open to you. If you perform your SD you must serve it on the court which convicted you. You will then receive a date for a hearing to have the matters heard again. Your only chance of having the matters revert to speeding (and this is only providing you were the driver at the time of those offences) is to plead Not Guilty, attend court. When you get there you can ask the prosecutor (very nicely, explaining what a pillock you know you were for failing to update your  V5C) if (s)he is prepared to raise “out of time” speeding charges, to which you will offer to plead guilty if the FtP charges are dropped.   This is strictly speaking not lawful. Charges have to be raised within six months. Some prosecutors are willing to do it, others are not. But frankly it’s the only avenue open to you. There is a risk with this. I imagine you have been fined £660 (plus surcharge and costs) for each offence. The offence attracts a fine of 1.5 week’s net income and where the court has no information about the defendant’s means a default figure of £440pw is used.  If the prosecutor is not prepared to play ball you can revise your pleas to guilty. A sympathetic court should give you the full discount (one third) for your guilty pleas in these circumstances but they may reduce the discount somewhat. The prosecution may also ask for increased costs (£90 or thereabouts is the figure for a guilty plea). So it may cost you more if you have a decent income (I’ll let you do the sums). But MS90 is an endorsement code which gives insurers a fit of the vapours. One such endorsement will see your premiums double. Two of them will see many insurers refuse to quote you at all meaning you will have to approach "specialist" (aka extortionate) brokers. So you really want to exhaust every possibility of avoiding MS90s if you can. One warning: do not pay solicitors silly money to defend you. Making an SD before a solicitor should attract just a nominal sum (perhaps a tenner). That’s all you should pay for. You have no viable defence against the FtP charges and any solicitor suggesting you have is telling you porkies. The offer to do the deal is easily done by yourself and you can save the solicitor’s fees to put towards a few taxis and increased insurance premiums if you are unsuccessful. In the happy event you find out you were "dual charged", let me know and I'll tell you how to proceed. (Seems a bit odd hoping you were charged with four driving offences rather than two, but it's a funny old world!).

    • 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 should but I forget, and being stressed, and at my wits end it is difficult to focus on what I know, or should know. I did read some of the older thread but must have skipped the bit about right of entry. Thanks for the reminder to read stuff - I will take it in the spirit it's meant

DX is correct, no right of entry for Council tax, or a Council PCN Is that parking Ticket Council, police or a Private parking Contractor like Parking Eye?

 

I would still hide that car if possible. they might clamp it for spite to put pressure on to get say a payday loan (naughty) to pay them.

We could do with some help from you.

It would be certainly worth you contacting your local Councillor(s) and ask they intervene on your behalf

- best initial contact is by phone and my view is they are contactable 7 days per week up until about 9pm.

 

This is the best advice on here! In fact contact local councillor plus head of council. Do a quick Google search. Phone and email them, both of them!

 

They fixed it for me in 25 minutes. Even if it doesn't work , you have nothing to lose.

I have requested help from Canterbury Councillors and their CEO but I now need to send a follow up email as Rundles have written to me again.

 

I wrote to Rundles asking to set up the arrangement again but they emailed me saying no and that only full payment would be acceptable.

 

The enforcement agent has written today demanding full payment of approx £3k within 7 days or he will instigate:

 

- bankruptcy

- charging order

- committal to prison

 

I think he's making this personal because I muttered 'fat bastard' after being goaded for about 10 mins on the doorstep.

I just cannot believe this is happening.

I don't know who to turn to.

I will try step change but I reckon they won't help because I have no spare cash hardly, and CAB won't help because they just don't.

 

I am currently writing again to the council but think I could be wasting my time.

No items have been listed and no bailiff has been in my home.

Disgruntled, yes you are correct, I made it personal but isn't that what the bailiffs want, why they behave the way they do. I've had bailiffs on the doorstep before and don't usually get so upset, but Rundles seem to be a special breed.

 

I need to clarify - Rundles have said they will consider recommending the above actions to their client. Rundles have replied to my email to say they won't reinstate the payment plan.

Seems to me that the Bailiff is clutching at straws hoping to frighten you with his "superior" knowledge when in reality you are the one who holds the upper hand. There is not much else he can do other than hand it back to the Council - if he doesn't want to reinstate the payment plan or if he hands the case back he isn't going to get paid. For yourself I would suggest you keep all the payments you would have made while this is going on so at some stage a lump sum can be made which then makes it a little harder for the Council to go for other Enforcement action.

 

If they do go for Bankruptcy - if you own nothing they will get nothing

If they go for a Charging Order - only if you own your own place and you rent

Committal to Prison - only if you wilfullly refuse to pay which you are not

 

Ask him to do his worst.

.

 

Phone the councillors on their mobile, phone the elected head of council (not the CEO) on their mobile, leave them a voicemail, send another email. For example the one below is slightly different but you can adapt it. This worked for me.

 

 

Dear X,

 

I wonder if you can help, hopefully I am contacting the correct person.

 

Put simply, we got behind on the Council Tax because of my wife's illness and her inability to work. She's now back working and I'm paying off an attachment of earnings at a rate of 17% of my Net Salary. I completely understand the need to pay back this sum, however it seems like another AOE will be placed on my salary for another year's bill at the same time. I'm quite happy to pay this after the current AOE is ended, but no one seems to be listening. Put simply my basic salary is only £X after tax, my rent £X. If they add this one at the same time, we will lose our home. Hopefully you can prevent this.

 

I can supply you with all details necessary if need be,

 

Kind Regards

I will call the councillors tomorrow - it's a husband and wife team for the area where the flat was located. So far I've emailed both of them with an essay of what happened from start to finish and also the chief exec. I've now emailed the Head of Council. Is it ok to call them then? How will i be sure it goes to voicemail? I would freeze if any of them picked up the phone.

 

I will use your message but thinking about attachment of benefits - I would starve if they took any more off me.

 

thanks for everyone's replies which have made me feel a bit better.

I agree with the poster above, that everything should be in an email.

 

However, you should also be speaking with / leaving a voicemail for the councillors / head of council.

 

I got through on the first attempt to the head of my council on his mobile, who was actually incredibly sympathetic, I asked him to read the email I had sent.

 

It's worth noting that I was begging the council's revenue department to take of the second AOE for a week, and explaining that I wouldn't be able to make the rent.

 

I was told that once it was on there was nothing they could do.

 

After speaking to the Head of council, it was somehow gone 25 minutes later. Do not under estimate the power these people have!

 

The councillors generally work for the good of society.

 

They know that making someone homeless, or starving is only going to cost much more in the long run either to the local authority or to the NHS and they also want your vote of course!

We could do with some help from you.

Have you tried a DRO = Debt relief order. Im sure you would qualify. Council tax debt can be included in this. This would certainly help your plight.
