    • I don't think I've ever seen someone appeal a mags court decision on fare evasion, JK, but as you say in this case TiredDodo has pleaded guilty. It is possible to challenge, as below.

    • Update! I have now opened the mail from Barclaycard. I am assuming that their letters were prompted by my confirmation to them of my change of address, which I had advised them of twice. They are treating my change of address notification as a "General Data Protection Regulation Right of Access Request"  and state that I have made a "Right of Access Request. They are asking me to provide valid indentity documents! I have made no such request and am minded to ignore their request for extra information? I should add that their letters were sent to my correct current address!
    • Are you allowed to appeal if you plead guilty?   I know you appeal the sentence, but the criminal record formed from your guilt would surely remain?   I'm not sure if your able to appeal a crimianl record if you plead guilty are you?
    • DX: I did not pursue Link after I got the CCJ amended to monthly payments. Pretty sure the CCJ does not mention reviews, I do have the CCJ somewhere, I will have to look it up in storage. It is as mentioned on the thread you referenced  in your post #28. The Barclays loan was taken out in September 2004 for 60 months! Current Balance remaining approx £2K. On checking back my past correspondence with Barclaycard about this loan, there was a history of them ignoring my letters and offers to pay, and I even had problems in obtaining their bank account details for them to accept my payments! I have received strange correspondence from them too, one referring to insurance which I did not have. They seem very disorganised! Barclaycard told me to pay "Masterloan" a while back and I now receive regular statements and arrears notices from "Personal Loans from Barclaycard" clearly marked Masterloan, they changed the account reference number! I have never requested a CCA on this account. I advised them of my change of address last September, but they are still sending, until today, statements etc. to my old address! I have received 2 letters from Barclaycard Loan today though, not opened them yet!!
    • Yes, a few months ago. They wrote back saying there was no CCA and the debt was unenforcable. I then started gtting bombarded with threatening emails from their 'litigations team' which have been sent to spam. I've now recieved the letter before claim with the PAP form enclosed, but still no CCA or even a letter from them to say the debt is deemed enforcable. Thank you.

    • 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 guys,

 

I have an abandoned vehicle in my drive way from a tenant around 14 months ago.

 

He has been contacted about 12 times.

 

The car is 15 to 20 years old. In a very bad situation of disrepair. All windows were broken, tyres flat etc.

 

I called the police and car removal people. No one knows what can be done.

 

Anyone here knows what can be done?

Successfully contactable? Or you tried 12 times without success?

 

Anyone here knows what can be done?

 

Yes, I do. I suspect others might, too.

 

There are "lawful" and less lawful options.

I doubt you can expect this site to give you the less lawful Ines....

It also depends on if they are contactable, and if the car is registered to your (or another) address ....

I can't help with "by any means nessessary" : the site rules only allow posts advocating lawful acts.

 

It also depends on if ........ and if the car is registered to your (or another) address ....

 

I asked about where it is registered in case an option might later lead to a fine from DVLA (for the keeper) coming to your address.

 

If you don't help people to help you by answering relevant questions, and also are willing to use "any means" ..... I'm out.

Pity you can't tow it to the street, then inform DVLA of an untaxed vehicle. Job done.

 

Until the bailiffs (OK, now enforcement officers) come a-knocking!

 

This is why I asked which address the vehicle is registered to.

As per dx100uk

It is ex-T left-over goods so inform him (pref in writing) that unless removed within 14 days you will dispose of it to recover some of your estimated storage costs of £1/day since he vacated. Scrap value is whatever you can get for it (prob ~£50).

i called the police, council, scrap yards. no one has an answer. i need log book and keys for most compnaies to remove it.

 

police said nothing to do with us, council said ONLY if its on the road or in a council estate.

 

i will get the reg and do some research. Even post it here AS there is no way in hell can that thing be worth £1 or more.

 

4 tyres + windows all gone + so much rubbish in it. We will try to call him and leave him a msg with proof as i record all my calls.

 

i do not have is forwarding adress however from his REG i might know some kind of address.

I saw a very interesting article in my local paperlast week, apparently there are fellas that if you contact them will come round and lift metal rubbish free of charge!

 

Would I be wrong in thinking that if the car is not registered to the address and has been abandoned on Private property, the legal owner can dispose as he/she wishes?

 

*Legal owner - of the land.

You need to find out on which address the car is registered.

 

I wonder if the dvla would disclose this information for an abandoned vehicle on your drive.

 

Common sense says yes, but with dvla everything is possible.

 

If it's registered at your address you might have trouble with the untaxed fine.

 

The car is not yours so you won't have to pay,

but it's still unpleasant to get people at the door asking for money.

 

If the car is not registered at your address, a big grinder and a diamond disc will make the metal easily taken away by the helpful scrap collectors.

 

Of course this is illegal and you shouldn't do it, but I doubt your ex tenant is keen to take this scrap back any time soon.

Right. So the REG got removed incase it causes issue is fine.

 

Question is how do i remove the car?

 

police, council and scrap yards do not want to know!

 

it is honda CRV and all tyres are flat! it cant be pushed "on to the road"

you have been told,

you give him 14 days written notice

(email, even text will do if you don't have a physical address)

 

then get a scrappy to remove it at your expense and you recover part of that expense from the salvage money.

 

In 14 days time it becomes your property for the purposes of the law.

 

No-one wants to know because you have been asking the wrong question

Except it is information for the LA, not the land owner, AND it explains why the LA can't currently act .......

 

Bu**er.

 

There are some quarters that will quote this as a requirement for the council to remove the vehicle, even if it is on private land....

 

section 3 of this act refers....

 

https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1978/3

 

"...3 Removal of abandoned vehicles.

 

(1)Where it appears to a local authority that a motor vehicle in their area is abandoned without lawful authority on any land in the open air or on any other land forming part of a [F6highway][F6road], it shall be the duty of the authority, subject to the following provisions of this section, to remove the vehicle..."
