    • Know it has already been answered, but? Does not explain why JCI has registered a different default date when they get the information from the original creditor, Virgin
    • Since you were stopped at the time there is no requirement for the police give you anything there and then or to send you anything before they have decided how to deal with the offence.  They have three choices: Offer you a course Offer you a fixed penalty (£100 and three points) Prosecute you in court  The only option that has a formal time limit is (3). They must begin court proceedings within six months of the date of the alleged offence. Options (1) and (2) have no time limit but since the only alternative the police have if you decline those offers is (3) they will not usually offer a course beyond three months from the date of the offence and will not usually offer a fixed penalty beyond four months from that date. This is so as to allow time for the driver to accept and comply with their offer and to give them the time to go to option (3) if he declines or ignores it.  Unless there is a good reason to do otherwise, the action they take will usually be in accordance with the National Police Chiefs' Council's guidance on speeding enforcement. In a 40mph limit this is as follows Up to 45mph - no action. Between 46mph and 53mph - offer a course Between 54mph and 65mph - offer a fixed penalty Over 65mph - prosecution in court So you can see that 54mph should see you offered a fixed penalty. Three weeks is not overly long for a fixed penalty offer to arrive. As well as that, there has been Easter in that period which will have slowed things down a bit. However, I would suggest that if it gets to about two months from the offence date and you have still heard nohing, I would contact the ticket office for the area where you were stopped to see if anything has been sent to you. Of course this raises the danger that you might be "stirring the hornets' nest". But in all honesty, if the police have decided to take no action, you jogging their memory should not really influence them. The bigger danger, IMHO, is that your fixed penalty offer may have been sent but lost and if you do not respond it will lapse. This will see the police revert to option (3) above. Whilst there is a mechanism in these circumstances  to persuade the court to sentence you at the fixed penalty level (rather than in accordance with the normal guidelines which will see a harsher penalty), it relies on them believing you when you say you did not received an offer. In any case it is aggravation you could well do without so for the sake of a phone call, I'd enquire if it was me.  I think I've answered all your questions but if I can help further just let me know. Just a tip - if you are offered a fixed penalty be sure to submit your driving licence details as instructed. I've seen lots of instances where a driver has not done this. There will be no reminder and no second chance; your £100 will be refunded and the police will prosecute you through the courts.
    • Looks similar to you original email to their Complaints team. I dont rate copypasta for a CEO complaint. Rewrite it with emotion involved as to how badly this is affecting you and make them feel embarrassed for their actions...

    • 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,

 

ive had a request/letter from Palmers Bigg. Any idea on how to proceed?

 

they say their client have ‘tested’ the product however on closer inspection, their picture is an enlarged picture of my eBay image and not a tested unit, resulting in them not being truthful on the letter.

 

are they just after my money and stock as I’ve seen loads of other cases but unsure what to do. Help?

I think it’s just them trying to make a quick quid.

 

Someone I know who’s training to be a solicitor told me a lot of solicitors trawl the internet/eBay looking for things that might be counterfeit and then send out letter as a scare tatic to make money.

 

What is it you were selling?

They are only sd cards which are genuine. Sold them for ages and hundreds of them and no customer has ever had a problem. I buy them from a reputable wholesaler in the UK.

 

my guess is they just want my money and stock for themselves to sell on.

 

they included a ‘SanDisk’ trademark table too with lots of numbers corresponding to each of their products however again after research, these numbers don’t even match SanDisks actual ones

I saw that within section A however some estimated costs on part B. It’s interesting as well that last night about 10pm I rung them and they answered after 12/13 rings to an out of hours call centre (wouldn’t think these exist with the current virus) and you could hear the call divert.

 

i quizzed the guy on opening times and he said he would have to check this and starting googling it.

 

everyone that answered weren’t even listed with the ‘Team’ section on Palmer Biggs itself!

Absolute morons! I rang them last Saturday( I was selling the same as you) a young girl answered.

She stuttered, asked for my number for someone to call me back Monday.

 

Told her no why would I give them my number.

I asked why she couldn’t help, she said she just answered out of hours.

 

I said what’s the point if you can’t help.

Wouldn’t give me a name or anything.

 

Like I said before, they are just looking to make money quick and easy.

Given what is happening with the virus, I think they should be ashamed trying to [problem] people.

 

People are struggling as it is.

It could Have bad consequences for someone with mental health issues.

 

They ought to be ashamed!

Have you checked your sold items to see if you have ever shipped to Horsham where they are based.

I just think it’s really strange especially as the letter letters have a different address based in Gatwick?

 

youre right though because people with mental health would struggle with these types of threats and they are just counting on someone falling for their joke

note the different address.

It might be worth contacting the Horsham number and tell them that a group of [problematic] are using their name at a nearby address and see what they say.

they have a twitter account so bombarding them there might throw somehting up.

You can guarantee that they dotn have a client but if you admut being a forger they will then demand money and then try and get the copyright holder to accept their terms for handing part of that cash over.

It is of course unlawful if they actually threaten or take legal action without a client but you can bet the letters are worded VERY carefully

it even says the beehive address on the first letter. i did think solictor letters were meant to look professional however not one sheet of paper they have sent us, including the main page with their logo on is in colour

Not only that, it’s on the cheapest paper as well. All their details at the bottom

of the better are blurry. Imagine if it got turned around and they got sued for falsely claiming to act on someone’s behalf! What I also noticed after some research is that sandisk isn’t actually a company!! The company is Western Digital and sandisk is one of their brands 🤣

Really crazy behaviour. I know I’m not doing anything wrong anyway and to share the picture of the one they’ve supposedly ‘Bought’ and ‘tested’ within their evidence is crazy. I have still got the images I uploaded and everything matches, including the table underneath 😂 I’m just winding myself up about it all thinking it’s real but I guess I haven’t been the only one
