    • 12mph (beyond any UK limit) will certainly qualify for a Fixed Penalty. So you should received an offer of a FP for each of the remaining two offences. Be sure to submit your licence details as instructed when you accept the offer. If you don't your £100 will be returned to you and the police will prosecute you in court.
    • and it will be also now written off under age related criteria anyway.
    • @dx100ukThanks for this! I'm still not clear if I'm facing more than 6 points on my license though. Can you explain any further please? When I accept the 2nd speeding ticket, will they just charge me £100 and 3 points, or will they be more severe consequences since that offense took place the following day of the 1st offense? Similarly, when I accept the 3rd offense, will they look at my record or just charge me with the £100 fine and 3 points? @Man in the middleI've been searching the forum and you seem very knowledgeable. Would you mind giving a look at my query please? Thanks in advance!!
    • Yes of course. That's why it says cc:: BIg Motoring World at the bottom. Don't imagine that this solves the issue. It doesn't. He not have to force the finance company and big motoring world to accept the rejection to give your money back. I suggest that you get the letter off tomorrow. And let us know what you hear but on Friday you should then send a threat to the finance company.   Have a look what I have said here about your options and read the whole thread as well.  
    • Been perusing the actual figures on the polls above wondering where the '16% claimed for deform comes from? I understand that there are 'weighted' end results based on secret calculations ...   Probably going to repeat this later, but remember that the ukip/brexit/reform/deform party has ALWAYS had poll speculation FAR better than their actual  performance at elections - by large margins. SO: The labor and Tory votes come largely from simply the people who say they will vote for them - sorted Lab 43% Tory 20%, with maybe another small 1-2% coming from the weightings of the 'not sures' Greens largely get what is declared from 'other' , although with another declared green bit from the 'pressed' question   So as the share of the voting displayed in 'other' granted to reform/deform is around 11%, where does the '16% too often being reported come from? Seems that reform has been granted as beneficiary of effectively ALL the don't knows and wont says, who when pressed didn't actually declare for someone else ... effectively adding 40%+ to their reported polling % - rather strange given their consistent under-performance compared to polling - or perhaps that is the cause of the higher rating eh?   Now I admit the possibility (probability?) of wingers being ashamed of declaring their support for the yuckey lemon end of the spectrum ... but surely  that should affect the 'Torys as well? Maybe the statisticians have simply weighted in that deform wingers are simply more likely to lie?   But - without 'weightings' and assumptions that faragits will get everything that isnt declared as a definite and unequivocal 'not that Piers Morgan' - reform is on around 11% it seems.   Add to that the history of polling a lot less than the hype - and the simple fact that faragit wingers seem to be spread across the country (presumably skulking in their moms spare room despite being 45+) and greens and lib dems seem to be community minded - I think two seats will be an epic result for farage. Hardly the opposition - far more raving wingnut party.   and importantly - Has farage got a home in clacton yet?

    • 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.

So I have a situation.

 

 

My bike was stolen, recovered with police and tracker company 1h later.

 

 

Damage is minimal, as in lost my disc lock and tope yoke which I can get for 200 new or 100 used.

I have picked the vehicle up and rode it home.

 

 

Should I be declaring that to insurance company?

I do not want to make a claim as my compulsory theft excess is 150.

Bike is not stolen anymore and except licence plate marker police had no time to put it on any other database. Plate marker was removed.

 

 

If I do declare it my insurance premium will sky rocket by 40 to 50%

On top of that when I tried to make a quote for new insurance (example quote to see what happens) there is no option to declare incident as:

Theft, recovered, 0 damage and no claim made.

 

 

For theft they only have:

- Theft

- Claim made against my insurance or other (I am not making claim)

- Value of claim (there is no value had no claim)

- % recovered 0 to 100 (there is none made no claim)

 

 

As they do not provide option to declare details of incident as it happened should I report it in 1st place?

Speak to your Insurers to notify of incident only. If you don't, then if the bike is stolen again and not recovered, you might get into difficulty with the claim. This incident is relevant to risk and will affect premium from renewal.

We could do with some help from you.

I know they will say that but how will it increase risk?

If I start using my other bike surely risk drops to same level as it was never stolen, or if I sell the stolen one and buy another. Maybe just park in bey on another street?

It's a [problem] I have done no cost to them they should not be able to do me on one?

 

Finally what am I then to do at renewal after reporting. No insurance company has option for theft not claimed. Is it OK to lie then?

I don't make the rules.

 

Read your policy terms about reporting requirements.

 

At the end of the day, it is your risk, if you don't report. I can only warn you that if you don't report it and Insurers find out about it later, that the Insurers could try to avoid paying out for another theft.

 

It is just an incident where you have not needed to claim, because the bike was recoverded.

As a extra note to the comments above, I had a bike stolen which had being fitted with a tracker, I notified the police soon as realised it had been taken/stolen, there gave me report/theft crime number and left it at that, explaining that the bike was fitted with a tracker what could be done, officer stated police didn't have the resources to follow up on bike theft, We ourselves kept track of where the bike was every day for three weeks, informing the police all the time of the bikes where about's, STILL the police didn't bother to act.... The bike was then moved across the border into another police forces borough, and low and behold soon as I contacted that police force, there visited me and took all the details, within 3 hours that force had gone and got the bike back, the person that stole the bike was well known within the forces area, and had a zero tolerance policy on bike theft, where MY OWN police force borough didn't care at all... At the start I contacted my insurance company, who placed a maker on my claim that there was a chance the bike could be recovered and this was to just to report the theft NOT a actual claim been made as yet. On getting the bike recovered, I again contacted my insurance company, and there closed the case with no claim made, and my following years premium hasn't increased....
