    • In terms of "why didn't I make a claim" - well, that has to be understood in the context of the long-standing legal battle and all its permuations with the shark. In essence there was a repo and probable fire sale of the leasehold property - which would have led to me initiating the complaint/ claim v SPF in summer 19. But there was no quick sale. And battle commenced and it ain't done yet 5y later. A potential sale morphed into trying to do a debt deal and then into a full blown battle heading to trial - based on the shark deliberately racking up costs just so the ceo can keep the property for himself.  Along the way they have launched claims in 4 different counties -v- me - trying to get a backdoor B. (Haven't yet succeeded) Simultaneously I got dragged into a contentious forfeiture claim and then into a lease extension debacle - both of which lasted 3y. (I have an association with the freeholders and handled all that legal stuff too) I had some (friend paid for) legal support to begin with.  But mostly I have handled every thing alone.  The sheer weight of all the different cases has been pretty overwhelming. And tedious.  I'm battling an aggressive financial shark that has investors giving them 00s of millions. They've employed teams of expensive lawyers and barristers. And also got juniors doing the boring menial tasks. And, of course, in text book style they've delayed issues on purpose and then sent 000's of docs to read at the 11th hour. Which I not only boringly did read,  but also simultaneously filed for ease of reference later - which has come in very handy in speeding up collating legal bundles and being able to find evidence quickly.  It's also how I found out the damning stuff I could use -v- them.  Bottom line - I haven't really had a moment to breath for 5y. I've had to write a statement recently. And asked a clinic for advice. One of the volunteers asked how I got into this situation.  Which prompted me to say it all started when I got bad advice from a broker. Which kick-started me in to thinking I really should look into making some kind of formal complaint -v- the broker.  Which is where I am now.  Extenuating circumstances as to why I'm complaining so late.  But hopefully still in time ??

    • 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.

Last year I bought a day return ticket thinking it was an open return. 

Got on the train the next day, got stopped and didn't have enough money to purchase another one.

I was not issued with a penalty notice at the time, as the ticket inspector said that the case was to be 'reviewed'.

 

A few months later, I had received nothing in the post about any penalty so I assumed it was dropped.

I moved out that accommodation (student) in August 2019, having received nothing about it up to that date.

 

Fast forward to now,

I have received a £450 Marston fine at my parent's home in a completely different city to where I currently live and study.

It says a "court order" has been made against me as I have not replied no any previous letters.

This is the first letter I have received about the case, I had no idea this was escalating.

 

The letter was dated 06/1/20, but I have just opened it upon returning from University.

In the letter it says i have 14 days to reply or pay, or an enforcement officer will be attending the property. I don't even live here! 

 

Is there anyway I can reduce this fine and stop bailiffs attending ?

I don't really know what to do

this has only happened because you moved.

you should have lots more letters inc one from SR about writing back with any mitigating circs.

 

I suggest you contact the prosecutions team stated on the letter and inform them about what has happened.

 

let me go read up as this , I believe you can appeal not sure.

 

what is letter from marstons entitled and what time limits does it give..Notice of enforcement p'haps with a £75 fee and 10 days response time ??

and now a sep letter hand delivered that mentions the addition of a £235 fee?

 

let us know what else you have please

Thanks for the reply. I have only received one letter. 

It states i owe £450.00, and it mentions I have 14 days to pay or contact discuss specific circumstances, or an enforcement agent will be visiting the property.

 

I read the thread you have posted, but unsure about some of the language.  

What would be the best thing to do?

 

I downloaded the Statuary Declaration form that was in the thread, but im not really sure what this means.

Do I fill this out and send it to the court and notify Marston im doing so ?

yes AFAIK send to Swindon court

you can get the SD sworn at your local county court for free Monday.

 

what i'd do is ring Swindon court monday

tell them what you are doing and that you have not received noting prior to the one marstons letter.

they should arrange to sort marstons out.

 

can you scan it up to pdf 

read upload..

the warrant must have your correct address on it to be enforced via notice of enforcement etc etc

it doesn't so you didn't get the NoE...

 

hence how they try and cleverly tell you they about their mistake ion the wording of that letter

they know its wrong but hope you don't.

 

call Swindon court Monday as advised.

I rang Swindon , looks like it’s not a new case but one dating back to 2018.

This was one that was paid off in full in instalments. 

but the court states there’s  still £100 or so left on the account. 

 

I have a last payment on my bank statement, to martson,  equaling the amount stated by the court.

 

Where have marston pulled this £450 ponds from?!

Guess I wil have to ring them??

who said it was ever a new case?

 

ask marstons for a breakdown of all payments to date and the DATE they were made

if you missed or were late then is sounds like they issued a NoE to your old address cause you didn't update them? (but equally didn't know too as you thought it settled) and then they have attended and added £325, £480  ...the balance of £310+about £100 owing, that sounds about right.

 

however it doesn't prove the warrant was issued to the correct address, so nulls the NoE etc etc. from being billed

 

again sort of says as much in their letter.

 

can you not also ask the court for a statement too?
