    • I doubt HMCTS holds any data on whether arrests by AEAs required police assistance.  They couldn't or wouldn't provide data on how many of warrants issued were successfully executed - just the number issued!  In my experience, arrest warrants whether with or without bail are [surprisingly] carried out with little or no fuss.  I think it's about how you treat people - a little respect and courtesy goes a long way. If you treat people badly they will react the same way. Occasions when police are called to assist are not common and, having undertaken or managed many thousands of these over the years, I can only recall a handful of occasions when police assistance was necessary. On one occasion, many years ago, I arrested and transported a man from Hampshire to Bristol prison on a committal warrant. It was just me and he was no problem. I didn't know the Bristol area (pre Sat Nav) and he was kind enough to provide directions - seems he knew the prison.  One young chap on another committal warrant jumped out of his back window and I had to chase him across several garden fences.  When he gave up (we were both knackered) I agreed to drive by his girlfriend's house to say farewell for a while.  I gave them a few moments and he was fine. The most difficult are breach warrants but mainly in locating the defendant as they don't want to go back to prison - can't blame them.  These were always dealt with by the police until the Access to Justice Act transferred responsibility from them to the magistrates' courts. The fact was the police did not actively pursue them and generally only executed them when they arrested someone for something else and found they had a breach warrant outstanding.  Hence the transfer of responsibility.
    • thats down to mcol making that option available for you to select, you cant force it. typically if there are known processing delays at northants bulk it will be atleast 14 days later if not more.
    • Thanks   Noting the day to apply for default judgement if necessary
    • nope, as the display model was not the colour the customer wanted. but your question is totally immaterial anyway as custom built doesn't come into it. dx
    • as long as aos is done by day 19 from the date on the claimform they get a total of 33 days to file a defence. (whereby the date top right on the claimform is ONE in the 33 day count) 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.

hi all,

 

can you give advice as to what I can reclaim, received statements today.

 

charges are stated as follows:

 

1) late payment charge £24.00

2) exceed limit £24.00

3) out of order charge £40.00

 

letter also states that any info required prior to may 2004 is on microfiche @ £3.00 per statement!

 

To proceed with prelim for amount known and request microfiche also, is this O.K.

 

advice greatly appreciated as always, Regards

additional advice please,

 

I did request that a copy of the original agreement be provided with my D.P.A. request.

 

If this is also on microfiche do I have to pay extra to see this.

 

please can someone give me a reply

Hi Sherlock. The microfiche argument is another delaying tactic of Barclaycard. Write back saying that they have not fully responded and that the clock is ticking and that they have ??days left to comply from the date they received your SAR.

 

You can claim back all of the fees you were asking about.

I thought I read in a previous post that interest is not charged on fees/charges on credit card account.

 

It said they have such a system that interest isn't applied in the schedule of payments, or something like that :confused:

 

Am I getting mixed up?

 

Also I cannot get the charges total until I get microfiche statements prior to 2004 (this must be BULLSH*T, coz my partner did microfiche 20 years ago).

 

Should I claim a refund that I know of in the last 2 years statements, as these have threatened insolvency for £1300.00, or proceed with letter asking them to comply with original S.A.R. as of XX/11/06,

 

advice welcome,

We are reclaiming charges which were unlawfully applied by Barclaycard. It follows that it is also unlawful to charge interest on the charges.

 

It follows that it is unlawful to charge interest on the interest...

 

See what I mean? They owe you an awful lot more than you realise.

If they say that your payments first pay the unlawful charges off, then anythimng left over goes towards what you spend on a card, then a bit off the interest on what you spent then it follows that if the unlawful charges had not been appiled, you would have paid back what you borrowed a lot sooner, thus saving yourself interest.

 

This is the [problem] they've been running for years and years.

Has anyone had dealings with roxburghe a company whose name has now been changed to HFO Services Ltd? My debt has doubled from the original amount......arrgh, also barclaycard did not reply to a letter i had written to them over a year ago which is why the charge have accrued

been through statements thoroughly and I am issuing my prelim now with the remit that the claim will be under review pending further scrutiny of microfiched statements.

 

Also a question on interest charges. I was charged for approx 1 year at 1.873% and 1 year at 0.447%. am i to assume that the latter refers to the interest charged when in default? how do I charge both and/or split them. the difference at the lower rate has risen by £107.00

a further technical question :)

 

bcoz this is a debt, and creditors have been paying the monies to DCA's, can I request that the monies I have actually paid be refunded to myself (+ interest) and the outstanding charges refund (+ interest) be taken from the outstanding amount,

 

All advice welcome,

Hi. if your debt is higher than the refund of charges then this means that your refund of charges and interest will be deducted, leaving a lesser balance. You will have to pay this (but obviously it will be a reduced amount). You will not get a refund unless there has been an overpayment. Not sure if this answers your question but I think thats what you were asking. Looking at your thread, you have not mentioned how much you are claiming back?

Hi,

 

as I only received 2 years statements my initial claim was for £344.00 + interest.

 

This does not cover the debt amount but with interest it amounts to nearly £500.00.

 

Do you think I am right to claim this now and wait for microfiche statements to turn up.......or wait for microfiche and claim as a whole.

 

I was thinking if I put this initial prelim in it may reduce the timescale at a later date?

I THOUGHT I'D READ WITHIN THIS SITE THAT YOU CANNOT TAKE SOMEONE TO COURT ON ESTIMATED CHARGES?

 

Are the prelims worded differently?

 

Additionally, I do not know the start date of this account, as the statements only show from May 2004. I couldn't estimate on this basis.

Yes, you can take to court on estimated charges. When filling out the allocation Q you ask the Judge if Barclays can provide you with the Statments dating back to 2001, and amend your claim accordingly

Abbey - owed £3260 - Paid up.

 

Barclays owed £2500 - Paid up.

 

Halifax, Mint & Egg - next on the hit list

 

Dont click on the scales - I'm quite proud of my little red dot! - As the little red dot has gone - click away!!!!

Done Non-Compliance letter, will wait the 40 days before prelim letter for charges refund AND as the account is in dispute, I do not acknowledge the debt and therefore nothin' doin' til I get info.

 

SHERLOCK

 

I don't think you have grounds to not acknowledge the debt - it is still a live debt - you are disputing their practices on data not debt.

Consumer Health Forums - where you can discuss any health or relationship matters.

Do I have rights to NOT acknowledge the debt until my requests are complied with?

 

I nor my partner can recollect this debt or the amounts and as such we require our creditors to PROVE we owe them anything.

 

How do I sit with taking this standpoint!!
