    • Hi All. My other halfs car was having issues when she was on a trip visiting family up north at the begining of January.  She ended up leaving it at my friends garage in the same location, who parked it on his forecourt to investigate the issue, howver said most likely it is beyond economical repair as its a serious gearbox fault. In the meantime i replaced her car with one of my spare cars. The insurance on the car then expired in at the end of January.  When the insurance expired, I sent a paper V890 paper as i didnt have her V5 Reference number in hand to do it online.   She then cancelled her road tax at the end of March (i think) as she was paying by DD. Unfortunately, as we where travelling we missed all the post until last week. We recievd a letter dated 09/04/2024 stating she had failed to insure the vehcile and there was a £100 fine which could be reduced to £50 if she respons by 11/05/2024.  As soon as we noticed, i dug out the documents and SORN'd the vehicle.   My friend has been a bit slow in checking the fault, however i suspect it will still be scrapped. Is this possible to appeal?
    • worthy to not forget Just to let you know this bunch Kensington have been fined £1.225m by the financial regulator for treating borrowers who were in arrears unfairly. Claim those charges back plus the interest and tell them not to add any more to the account. There are a few news stories here you can get the info for a letter to send to them. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/8615870.stm  
    • Hi All. I went to visit a family friend in Rochdale on a new housing estate opposite a old row of houses. The location is Royle Road, Postcode OL11 3PE. I was originally parked in parking bays outside the old houses, then moved the car, when I noticed my tyre was flat, so parked on what looked like double yellows to use his air pump to check and inflate the tyres before we left the house.   In the time i went inside to sort the pump and power supply i got a PCN.  The tyre then got changed (has a puncture) and we left. PCN Number:         RE######## Date:             04/05/2024 Time:             20:36 Observation:         20:34 to 20:36 Reported location:     Royle Park Road Reason:        Parked in a restricted street during prescribed hours (Code: 01) I believe this PCN is not correct and has grounds to appeal: 1. My friend who moved into the property around 6 months ago, swears that even though it has old double yellows marked, they are not current or council marked.   He said the property development company had said they had marked them for ease of access during development. 2. The road i was parked on was Royle Road.  The PCN was issued for Royle Park Road, which is about 400 yards up the road. 3. There are no sign posts or marking showing parking  restriction hours in the entire area (there maybe on Royle park Road). I have attached a map of the Location where i parked as a red dot. I have 2 questions: a.  Is there a way to check where double yellow lines are marked on some register to check if they are current? b. Can my grounds of appeal simply be, wrong location, wrong offence? Thanks in advance. Map_20240505.pdf
    • you made it very confusing, though i doubt any of it was ever read by the delivery franchise for DPD. your saving grace might well be you didn't select your own address (though if you are all the same postcode..??) and neither mentioned a safe space other than another neighbour. but with the actual delivery address on the parcel, it appears the driver had a choice of 3 addresses, all under the same post code with differing house numbers. so chose the label one but left it on your doorstep. play it carefully and along with the photo and the retailers requirement you should be ok.   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.

You need to assemble the following pack to take to court:

 

Statement, signed

FSCS letter

Welcome letter

Letter you're sending to Alpha

Budget sheet

 

Write the case number on the top of al the copy letters and the budget sheet then staple securely together. Hand in to the court office. While you are at the court office, ask if there are any duty legal advisers in attendance on the day of your hearing. If so you will be able to approach them on the day and ask for their assistance - they can accompany you into the hearing and support your case.

 

All done and handed in to court. Putting it on system

No legal advisor there need to either go CAB or shelter Cymru for advice

brilliant

they don't like the lemon they've been sold

and rushed to court without actually reading anything.

 

 

wonder how many more of those 38 people they've done it too.

 

 

also interesting on the arrears.

they are not saying you must pay them. they are only asking...urm..

so again they are not too confident you actually owe ANYTHING.

 

 

when was the case scheduled?

if you look at the overall picture here....

 

'someone' or 'some organisation' has got to take responsibility for what has been allowed to happen here.

 

there is extremely clear evidence of

mass product mis-selling regarding various insurances

£1000's of various penalty fees we know welcome are renowned for.

irresponsible lending due to mass refinancing resulting in 9 loans from day one.

 

but no one,

the FOS/FCA/FSCS/welcome/alpha/ uncle Tom want to talk about it or make any recommendations

because welcome, the perpetrators, the one that should be dealing with it, have the perfect get out clause and have literally been allowed to wipe their hands of it all and walk away.

 

the only light was the FOS that said it might be best to let this get infront of a judge.

I think that guy got it right.

 

seems to be the way its going

 

it just might be the alpha want to resolve the missing £8k

however to me that letter doesn't quite read it to be that simple...

else they'd have specifically sad that

and not simply asked for the arrears to be now paid.

 

if the above were the case

then the £8k would simply be removed from the outstanding

the arrears would still exist..why stop the repo hearing..

 

just musings.

 

but I think something much wider is afoot and the smell of lemon juice is firmly up the nose of alpha

The claimant wants to take a review of the account?? I would have thought they should have done that after the first letter I sent them and the 3 that followed before issuing the repo.

 

Or was that to apply pressure and frighten me? Cos it's worked I had a right meltdown on receiving it.

 

I thank you both for getting through the last few weeks.

alpha are quite well aware they have a lemon

and from day 1!!

 

its who blinks first...as it always is with debt buyers

 

they issued a speculative repo claim to pressure you

you [or more correctly Ell-Enn] bounced it back by saying really?... this/that is wrong

now go look at the account properly you fleecers I will not blindly give in.

 

the solicitors wont have a clue whats behind any of it

nor what their client IS going to do or not

 

hence they've 'been instructed' to adjourn the repo hearing.

they've been told to sit!.

 

they also have said 'IF' you have remaining arrears..so they don't know.

Thought that would happen -the court will have sent Lightfoots a copy of your defence - having read it they obviously thought they'd better not go to court till they've had a chance to check out what you've said :)

 

If the court grants an adjournment they will write to you to confirm. Then you wait to see what happens next ......

urm.. I've my doubts this is anything to do with your stuff to the court etc being filed..

 

me thinks this is to do with whats gone before and someone has actually read your previous letters

and the crap has hit the fan.

 

and that's even more positive than if it was to do the your court returns
