    • Paint is a free programme on any Windows PC. But don't worry, the choice here is not either perfection or nothing. As you say, use your scanner, save the file ... and then use the "choose files" option when you post to CAG to add the file. We can do all the redacting and converting to the correct file type at this end.  The important thing is just to get the info to us. Why not do an experiment this afternoon and see if the above works?  
    • I see they're trying to round up asylum seekers and lock them up for about three months so they can be put on planes to Rwanda. I'm a bit surprised that this is legal.  
    • thought for the day "Prime ministers need a big strategy that tells you where you’re going, you need a bunch of tactics that get you there, and you need the ability to take everybody else with you."   Now I know you are all thinking 'why is the  UKs destination Rwanda ???
    • Asset Link filed for a default CCJ against me, in relation to an old Barclaycard debt which I apparently signed an agreement for back in 2000.   I did not own a Barclaycard in 2000 so I know this is not true.  The CCJ notice was sent to an old address so I did not receive it.  Years later when I found out about the CCJ when I applied for credit, I put an application in to have the CCJ set aside.   As part of the set aside case, I was asked by the judge to provide a draft defence, should the CCJ be set aside.   The defence I provided was that I did not admit to the debt as I had not been provided with any evidence of an original loan agreement.   I won the case and the CCJ was set aside.   Link then filed to court again to make me pay the debt.   We both filed directions questionnaires and the judge allocated the claim to the small claims track.   As part of the directions, additional directions given were as follows ' Additional Directions in a claim for an Assigned Debt - Because the claim is in respect of an assigned debt the Court makes the following directions for the management of claim.  The claim shall be automatically struck out at 4pm on 3 April 2024 unless, before that time, the Claimant delivers to the Court and to the Defendant the following documents'  It then listed various documents such as an original agreement, deed of assignment, notice of default, statement of account setting out how the alleged debt accrued under that agreement etc.     The Claimant failed to provide these documents within the deadline provided and instead I received a copy of a bundle of documents provided by them in preparation for the court date, this was received weeks after the deadline.    I have called the Court to ask if it has been automatically struck out and they advised that it is not automatic and that I should still send my witness statement by the deadline provided, which is Wednesday.  This does not give me much time to prepare my witness statement.   I have never done anything like this before and I am unclear what my witness statement should include.  My thoughts were that I should keep it simple and stick to the facts, like the fact thy have not provided evidence of the original agreement, or the deed of assignment of the debt.   They have provided a copy of a default notice from Baclaycard dated 2015, this states a figure of £550 but the debt they say I owe is £10k.   I am not sure what makes a valid default notice?   I have previously requested proof of the debt from Barclaycard directly and have evidence of emails between us where they have been unable to provide me with the agreement or any documents at all relating to the debt.   Should I include these as an appendix?  Are there any other documents I should include in my bundle?    I have also tried to mediate with the claimants, to save the court costs and time, on a without prejudice basis, but the claimants solicitors refused to mediate.   Should i state this in my witness statement too to show the judge that I have been reasonable and they haven't? Many thanks   Louise

    • 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.

In my letter of complaint because I did not find out I was revoked untill my insurance company told me months after in mid January I found out they had sent to the wrong address,

 

I noted how serious it could of been as my license was revoked September 2017 if I was involved in a accident that caused death *SAY* in late September I could of been serving a manslaughter prison sentence with no evidence to why I was driving on a revoked license

 

I would not of been able to say in court *DVLA* sent it to a unknown address because I only found out by an attachement letter in the statements of DVLA sent to me mid january is all i can say people is rely on your insurance company not DVLA

I don't think you have a complaint against DVLA for non receipt of letterd.

From OP -

A letter was sent to DVLA to try get unclaimed tax fine squashed.

 

DVLA sent 3 letters to an address I've never been known at and my license was never registered at that address.

 

No response means my license was revoked.

 

I assume they used the A letter was sent to DVLA to try get unclaimed tax fine squashed.

 

DVLA sent 3 letters to an address I've never been known at and my license was never registered at that address.

 

No response means my license was revoked.

According to the OP's original post "A letter was sent to DVLA to try get unclaimed tax fine squashed. DVLA sent 3 letters to an address I've never been known at and my license was never registered at that address."

 

Thats why I asked the question

I use to live at my mum's address yes, it is also registered there because it is where several of my cars are kept.

 

On the other question as I stated I cancelled the court case I cannot be bothered with the hassle,

 

DVLA are now saying my license can be reinstated in August but

 

My illicit use ended June 2017

 

I was prescribed diazepam untill August 2017

 

From reading I believe DVLA cannot revoke my license for prescribed medication

 

So I believe Evan the I was prescribed diazepam after my illicit use ending in June my license should actually be reinstated June 2018?

 

That would be correct?

It hasn't worked out like that they have revoked my license from 1st August when I last tool a prescribed pill

 

My illicit use ended June they should of started the 12 months from when my illicit use stopped

But they didn't.

 

You could write to the DVLA to point out their mistake, or you could treat this as a valuable lesson as to why you should never take prescription only medications that have not been prescribed to you and just take it on the chin (until August).

Please note that my posts are my opinion only and should not be taken as any kind of legal advice.
In fact, they're probably just waffling and can be quite safely and completely ignored as you wish.

They originally revoked my license for non-compliance because they failed to sent paperwork to my address in August and September they didn't actually find out I had use illicit untill around 27th November when my doctor filled in there questionnaire,

 

They have revoked my license untill August because I I use illicit in June and was prescribed diazepam till 1st August

 

They are revoking my license till then based on my illicit use in June and because I prescribed diazepam until August they seem to think I had a dependence untill then my argument is it was if any a clinical dependence and I believe DVLA cannot revoke a license because of a clinical dependence

Why are DVLA GUIDELINES based on a on a subject and not the individual ?

 

Say what?

What do you think the role of guidelines are?

By definition, they are written to apply to set out things by groups, and then be applied to individual situations.

 

So, taking the Sentencing Council guidelines, NICE guidelines on treatment, (what was ACPO’s) guidelines in enforcement of speed offences, and DVLA’s guidelines : are you saying that it should be a “free for all” for each individual case?

Or that there should be guidelines that set out some basic framework? That give people an idea of what to expect?

That give a “probable outcome, but since it is only a guideline, there is some flexibility / discretion”?

 

I suspect your “beef”’is that you feel you warrant some ‘flexibility / discretion” and DVLA don’t agree. That doesn’t mean:

a) There shouldn’t be a guideline, nor

b) The guideline is wrong, nor

c) you could persuade a Magistrates Court that DVLA’s decision was wrong.

 

This was the risk you took when you took a Controlled Drug without a prescription, and if you keep blaming DVLA for that you are missing the point.

I have never blaimed DVLA for my misuse if anything I have been quite honest with them the way I see it the decision is quite a serve punishment for my actions

In a group I've attended there have been

 

1. Drink driver = 6 month ban

 

2. Heroin and crack user with daily prescribed medication = driving

 

3. Heroin and crack user = 12 months revoked

 

4. Epilepsy = 12 months revoked

 

5. Drink driver 12 month ban

 

6. Me taking unprescribed medication for 3 weeks 12 month revoked no previous history

 

 

Not only am i being served a greater punishment DVLA are not sticking to there guidelines with me they are revoking my license for a period of 1.2 months where I did not commit any offence

 

See my argument !

Drink driver ban : DVLA can act if there is alcoholism / alcohol dependency. Drink driving in the absence of those, it isn’t DVLA’s call, but the court’s.

 

If you really believe:

 

decision is quite a serve punishment for my actions

 

.......

 

 

 

 

Not only am i being served a greater punishment DVLA are not sticking to there guidelines with me

 

Firstly, DVLA will say it isn’t a punishment. You may feel like it is, but they’ll say it is a measure based on your medical condition.

 

Secondly, if you really feel DVLA are breaching their own guidelines, you have a route of appeal, provided you don’t leave it too long.

I think it’d be a costly and futile process though, based on my reading of the guidelines, as I’ve previously said.

I have reapealed, because DVLA was trying not to let my case go to a ICA I have no reason to why, the whole case is a mess I've been advised by someone called Helen from dm appeals and Natalie and Chris from the complaints team I can apply for my license end of march/ April since I rejected there £200 I don't want money and requested my case go to a ICA they told me I cannot apply till the end of May now and I should apply to court

Confusing your:

a) personal data complaint, and

b) licensing appeal,

Is a recipe for disaster.

 

They are separate issues, and should be dealt with as such.

Conflating them, there or here, just isn’t helpful.

 

You don’t appeal to DVLA, you ask them to reconsider, noting that you will appeal to the Magistrates if they again refuse. As previously mentioned don’t fall foul of time limits if you are going to appeal (their initial refusal letter would have said when you’d had to appeal to the court by), but I doubt an appeal would hold any utility for you.

  • 4 weeks later...

What can anyone suggest on this complaint,

 

so after everything discussed on the form I took into consideration and made a call to dvla, to clarify a couple of things before three main questions was asked whilst i recorded the call with DVLA these where

 

A.. If I cancel my appeal in court when can I re-appliy for my license..

.......Response from DVLA after checking their system for over a minute, "You can reapply at the end of March, beginning of April"

 

I believe where I made a verbal contract with DVLA clearly stating if I cancel court I can make a application end of march, I believe where I made verbal contact with DVLA myself and their team leader made a verbal contract?
