    • There's no facility for a settlement "out of court" as such. But matters that are started under the "Single Justice" (SJ) Procedure can often be concluded without the defendant appearing. The SJ procedure, as the name suggests, involves a single magistrate, sitting in an office with a legal advisor, dealing with matters "on papers" only. Nobody else can attend. The SJ deals with straightforward guilty pleas. Anything where the SJ believes the defendant should appear, or which should be dealt with by the "ordinary" court are adjourned o a hearing in the normal magistrates'  court .As well as this, all defendants have the right to a hearing in the normal court if they wish. Nobody is forced to have their case heard under he SJP.  In particular, as far as traffic matters go, a SJ will not disqualify a driver and if a ban is to be considered, the case will be passed over to the normal court. Because, following your SD, you will be pleading Not Guilty (and offering the "deal"), your case would usually be heard in the normal court, meaning a personal appearance. To be honest, performing your SD at the court is a more straightforward way of doing things. It avoids any possible hitches involved in serving he SD on the court. But of course, as I said, most courts have backlogs which mean an SD may not be quickly accommodated. If you do end up doing your SD before a solicitor, check with them the protocol for serving it on the court. Do let us know what the solicitor says about Wednesday.

There should be no incentives to have kids as a financial way of life paid for by everyone else ... ... BUT the kids should not be made to suffer for the decisions of their parents Free school meals would feed the kids, improve their ability to learn, and incentivise them to go to school. As an added benefit ... it would invest in our nations future.   How far this should go is a matter for costing, social intent and future path of the nation, but not feeding our nations kids is an abomination. There should be at least one free school meal per day for every child who attends school. Full Stop. Its the cheapest and most effective investment in our future we could make.
    • Hey people, I've been browsing this amazing forum for the past year and recieved a letter today which has made me require some help. Received a claim form from Cabot in the Civil National Business Centre in regards to an Aqua Credit Card taken out in 2018. I failed to make payments due to financial hardship and have not taken out any credit or uses any forms of credit since. Received a lot of letters from Cabot and their solicitors Mortimer Clarke which I've ignored    By an agreement between New Day Ltd RE Aqua& the Defendant on or around 26/03/2018 ('ths Agreement) New Day Ltd RE Aqua agreed to issue Defendant with a credit card. The Defendant failed to make the minimum payments due. The Agreement was terminated following the service of a default notice. The Agreement was assigned to the named Claimant. Cabot Credit Management Group Limited, acting as servicing agent of the named Claimant through its Appointed Representative (Cabot Financial (Europe) Limited), has arranged for these proceedings to be issued in the name of the Claimant. The named Claimant may be entitled to claim interest under the Agreement but does not seek such interest and instead claims interest under Section 69(1) of the County Courts Act 1984 at 8% p.a.from03/03/2023 until date of issue only, or alternatively such interest as the Court thinks fit THE NAMED CLAIMANT THEREFORE CLAIMS 1. 3800.82 2. INTEREST OF 379.84 3. Costs How would I go about this and what could happen? I don't remember much details about the card either.
    • cause like you said in post one, 99% of people think these are FINES (it now reads charge). and wet themselves and cough up. they are not, they are speculative invoices because the driver supposedly broke some imaginary contract by driving onto privately owned land which said owner may or may not have signed some 99% fake contract with a private parking co years ago, thats already expired or has not been renewed or annually paid to employ them 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.

Good evening all,

 

I took out a unsecured personal loan around 2 years ago with Tesco bank.

My financial situation has changed quite a bit in the past 6 months, lost a family member, dealing with depression and anxiety and due to this my self employment businesses sales have plummeted. I got a part time job to help cover my living expenses so i'm trying my best to keep up with all of my payments.

 

My outstanding balance is just over £16k. Monthly payments just under £400. The past 4 months I've been paying late. At the end of every month I end up giving every single penny I have toward this loan payment.

 

Tomorrow I am planning on sending this letter off I found in the forums.

 

https://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?387346-Ask-Creditor-to-Accept-Pro-Rata-Payments-**Correct-as-at-October-2013**

 

I was just wondering where I can find a I/E sheet? and do I include this loan payment in that sheet?

 

Also what is considered a reasonable offer that they would be inclined to accept?

 

Is this the best way forward?

 

Thank you in advance

i'm at minus £200 odd for the month, I have been borrowing money from my parents to cover the payment for the past few months, do i mention this?

so i'll most likely be offering £200/month, this isn't an 'insulting' offer is it?

This is the only debt I have.

 

The large portion of my expenditure is direct debits for gas, water, electricity, car insurance, road tax, Internet, mobile phone. I've had to have a very frugal lifestyle for the past few months so other expenses are at a minimum already

 

Do I send them the i/e sheet with the minus or do I change it so it looks like I have just enough? I can just add my parents money as an income from my job

I need both for my work but I've tried to reduce them down a lot too, around £20 for both

 

So do I send it off and leave it as it with the minus figure?

 

If I show them that I have just about enough won't they just decline my offer?

You're right, I'm going to send it as it is with the minus then and offer them an amount accordingly.

Quick update, Tesco were really helpful and agreed to a lower payment for 3 months and they will review my circumstances again after 3 months.

 

Thank you DX! You don't ask you don't get.

Hi, I'm about to send another letter as my situation hasn't improved, in fact it's gotten worse. I can only £5/month after cutting back on everything. I was wondering whether there is formal way of requesting that they get back to me via letter? I have anxiety and speaking on the phone amplifies it.

If they ring in future simply tell them "everything in writing" and hang up.

 

 

Repeat the process or block their number.

Who ever heard of someone getting a job at the Jobcentre? The unemployed are sent there as penance for their sins, not to help them find work!

Good evening all.

I've received a letter from Tesco stating that they want to know about a certain payment to another creditor and the balance of that account.

 

They also said due to the level of arrears on my account and the low payment offer I made that's it's necessary for them to issue me with a default notice followed by a termination notice and that I'll receive these in the post shortly.

 

They also mentioned that after the default and termination notice that my account will be transferred to the recoveries department,

 

does anyone have experience with them?

Will it just be me making an agreement with another department?

 

Without sounding silly, what do I do?

Send them a letter with the balance I owe to PayPal?

They want a reply within 30 days.

 

Also they said they will default and terminate my account then further down the letter they state if I don't reply within the 30 days that's when they'll automatically default and terminate my account

 

They've put my account on hold till a certain date by the way.

Theyre just passing you to their debt collection team. Its still tesco. If its another company, tell them to get lost and deal with tesco.

 

Remember, they dont get to demand a payment amount. All payments to non essential debts are paid equally so no creditor is treated unfairly.

 

Dont tell them specifics. Send them a simple budget summary that says something like "credit card 1 - xxx amount, credit 2 -- xx etc etc.

 

Dont go naming names.

 

https://tools.nationaldebtline.org/yourbudget/ is a good budget summary generator.

 

remember, if they refuse your payment and youve sent them proof you cant afford more...i drop them to £1 a month until they comply.

Any advice i give is my own and is based solely on personal experience. If in any doubt about a situation , please contact a certified legal representative or debt counsellor..

 

 

If my advice helps you, click the star icon at the bottom of my post and feel free to say thanks

bottom line is it doesn't matter what you do

they are still going to default and terminate the A/C

 

they've no legal remit to demand any evidence, only a judge can demand that, and as its not going to make a monkies diff to their decision, whats the point, none of their business anyway!!

 

you only ever communicate by letter too!

Ok I understand, the trouble is I'm paying the other creditor 8 times more than I'm paying Tesco, could this be why they 'refused' the offer?

 

Thanks for the advice, I'll just reply with a short letter stating the balance for the other creditor and nothing else, right?

 

I might be sounding a bit ahead of myself but I just don't want anyone knocking on the door.

they are not the same thing!!

 

a dca is NOT A BAILIFF

never can be a bailiff

and has

absolutely ZERO legal powers.

 

a bailiff could only EVER be involved in a civil consumer debt IF:

someone takes you to court.

you lose [FAT chance here]

you fail to pay in 28 days

the judge allows their use.

and even then they have NO RIGHTS of forced entry on a civil consumer debt, and in any case can almost always ignored as such.

 

pers I wouldn't be replying to tescos at all as post 21
