    • All of the services listed in the upload link to convert to pdf and/or edit pdfs are online, which means you are uploading your documents to another's servers for the merge, and whilst some claim to delete the files within a given timeframe, we have no method of validating this. And so I avoid this, as I do not want my personal and often sensitive information to be in the hands of another. I'll upload to my website and/or one-drive and provide shareable links instead, this way, I remain in control and everyone shall be able to access my documents - there's much, much more than just those two
    • If you simply respond to the NIP and request for driver's details promptly the police will simply process it in the normal way and either offer you an out-of-court disposal or take court action (and which of those will depend on the speed and limit and your eligibility). They do not routinely ask for proof of insurance and there seems no reason why they should do so in your case. £300 and six points is the fixed penalty amount for no insurance. It can be more if the case goes to court. There is provision for n unlimited fine, up to eight points or a disqualification.   That is all as far as the penalty goes. However, you should not dismiss it too lightly. An endorsement for No Insurance will probably double your insurance premiums in the first year. As well as that, if you also have one or two speeding endorsements, the increase will be considerably more. In fact in those circumstances some of the mainstream insurers will refuse to cover you at all and you will have to go to a "specialist" (which means very expensive) broker. 
    • I think we normally recommend people to follow the upload link
    • I removed them as they have my email address on them, and so shall repost them once my Snagit scrolling capture thing starts working (needs reinstalling I think as it keeps falling over); they are an email that runs over two pages, so would be best suited to a scrolling capture. As for multi page formats, this is harder as I have no tools available to merge documents, unless you can suggest any free ones that will perform offline merges without watermarking
    • Oh that is very helpful, thanks a million for answering my query. Looking at the license right now. At the front it says the issue date is 2022 (that's when I swapped it), but at the back it says 2015 next to Category B. So, I'm definately at 12 points, right?

    • 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 would imagine that the credit limit was increased during the lifetime of the account

 

Unusual for Lowell to actually have so much detail!

Any advice given is done so on the assumption that recipients will also take professional advice where appropriate.

  • 1 year later...

So..... I've been burying my head in the sand about this since I first posted.

 

I've had a look through old documents and emails but can't find my own copies of statements etc so I'm unsure how much I actually borrowed.

 

Every month Lowell are marking a default on my credit file and I feel now is the time to deal with it.

They have not been in touch since the latter above.

 

Any advice, I have no idea what to do next?

 

I should add

- there was no real reason I stopped paying other than they kept increasing my limit, I missed a payment and the late fees and interest just started piling up and panicked.

matters not what the calendar section says...

the debt has a defaulted date and the whole thing will vanish from you file on its 6th birthday never to return.

doesn't mean it not owed mind.

I've followed the advice on here before, once when a company chased a debt that was over 8 years old - that was very simple. And a second time when Moriarity swooped in at the last minute and lodged a court claim that they eventually lost - thanks in no small part to the advice of you and Andyorch!

 

However, in this instance I believe my last payment/acknowledgment of the debt was 2016 and I would really like to start improving my credit file. Is my only option then to pay in full?
