    • An update! I emailed both Andrzej.Tuleja and James_Goldsmith at Whirlpool dot com. I got a phone call from their executive team a couple of days later, and a replacement part dropped on the mat a week after. She was quite apologetic, however, also reiterated the "90 day warranty" period on customer fitted parts, and did not comment when I mentioned that the CRA also applies as I was a consumer buying from them directly. So I now have a spare door switch if the machine decides to eat another in the future! Cheers all!   Note dx100 that the "Hotpoint CEO" you linked to is not related to the hotpoint appliances, but some kind of marketing app.
    • yep, throw that morality card out the window....9/10 you never owe a DCA ANYTHING!! they are NOT BAILIFFS!!
    • (See the link to DVLA’s INF188/6 document I posted above, page 4 as cited) “I have a new medical condition that I have told the DVLA about on my recent application. Can I drive? As soon as the DVLA receives your correct and complete application for a new licence and as long as you meet all the Section 88 criteria, you may drive. It is important that you are satisfied that the medical condition you have declared on your application does not stop you from driving. If you are unsure, check with your doctor or healthcare professional before you make a decision. You can also look up your condition in the ‘Assessing fitness to drive’ guide, which you can find at www.gov.uk/dvla/fitnesstodrive to see whether you meet the medical standards for driving. As this guide is intended for healthcare professionals, it can be complicated. Your doctor or healthcare professional should be able to help you if necessary." It seems that DVLA think that S.88 does apply for applications disclosing a new medical condition after all. Why might this be so, and what of “qualifying application" and "relevant disability"? S. 92(1) imposes on the driver a requirement to disclose a relevant disability. S.92(3) requires the Secretary of State to refuse such an application disclosing a relevant disability ….. EXCEPT S.92(4) requires the Secretary of State to grant such an application if the relevant disability is “adequately controlled”. Hence my belief S.88 can apply for medical conditions (if the driver meets the medical standard of fitness to drive) as the application remains a qualifying application IF the driver meets the medical standard of fitness to drive, until DVLA (on behalf of the Secretary of State) say it doesn’t, provided the driver believes they meet the (medical) standard. Additionally, at (or before) June 2013 (as noted in my previous post) the medical standard for fitness to drive for conditions involving excessive daytime sleepiness was changed from “completely controlled” to "adequately controlled".

    • 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.

Happy to have it here as well, i will post updates until the very end so people can see the full cycle that will happen with my case. 

 

The address the bank has in Dubai is an old address i no longer have access too. 

My credit report is updated with a recent address that i do have access to but is a different address to the one the bank in Dubai has. 
 

Is it worth me writing to the banks in Dubai to cover myself from a backdoor ccj to the address i no longer have access too? 
 

I have had another email from IDRWW yesterday, is it worth just writing to them with an address to contact me on as to not miss any important documents?

Would me writing to the banks in Dubai of a new address to contact me on via special delivery mean a backdoor ccj would be removed as they are using an old address?

 

so you already have a CCJ?

No i dont have a CCJ but i have read a lot about the backdoor CCJ’s that are given. 
 

i was asking that if i write to the banks and update them of my new address, what if idrww have note of my old address and instruct a solicitor acting on the banks behalf to send the letter of claim to my old address?

 

could i then get the ccj removed by proving i sent documentation to the bank of my new address which was not followed by the solicitor acting on behalf of the bank?

 

as of now i have not communicated anything with anyone.

Thanks all.

 

Wanted to post an update for people that come across threads like these and are not updated.

 

As per advice i have written to the banks in Dubai and advised no access to previous address, telephone number or email and that my current address in the UK is different to the one they have on file. To which i provided my new address in the UK.

 

Sent to two banks and both banks returned my letters with post it notes asking for account numbers. I replied with all identifiable information, bank cards, account numbers, photos etc. and advised to contact me through letter as only option of correspondence. I have tried calling them and without an OTP response they will not discuss my accounts with me. It was a Dubai number that i no longer have access to. I have not heard anything from the banks since.

 

I have updated the electoral roll with said address 

 

IDRWW however have sent multiple e-mails and have sent 2 introductory letters to my address, either the bank has informed them or i expect they checked my credit file for my new address. None have been responded to yet.

 

I am now working and am in a position to start paying back my debts, however as the banks last correspondence via email was police case and full amount etc. and not being able to speak to anyone on the phone regarding my debts i am unsure how to approach. I would like to open dialogue with them but i fear what i can afford to pay each month will not suffice. 

 

I have been reading many a thread and can see each individual case is different. For those that win the process is long and drawn out, time consuming and looks very stressful so would be keen to avoid but will need to wait and see.

Hi all,

 

Wanted to provide an update for anyone researching and trying to understand their position with what to do and what I have done.

 

I saw over the last couple of months that IDRWW do in fact put court processes in place and, although, this forum is fantastic at sharing and helping people the anxiety and stress that defending these claims brings is a lot.

 

I was trying to liaise with the banks directly and had no luck what so ever until IDRWW forwarded on an email I had sent to the bank back to me asking to fill out a financial assessment. It felt like the right thing to do so I completed the form and sent back.

 

The agent i was dealing with was actually very polite and courteous, understood my situation and caused me no friction in my offer of £10 a month to each bank. FAB and ENBD circa £40k debt.

 

He provided me with direct bank details for each bank for the payments to go and nothing through IDRWW.

 

Confirmed no further action will be taken as long as i maintain this £20 a month (basically for the rest of my life!) but for peace of mind and no need to worry about a SJ or court appearances this is what works best for me.

 

Hopefully they will stick to their word but if not i will come back and update this thread.

 

I don't have any assets or mortgage, zero savings and a small disposable income so i am presuming once this was realised they knew there was no point in pursuing the debt any further (IMO only).

the above is by far the most important aspect.

i wonder ...did they know this info before you agreed to the sums? £PCM

Interesting comment that and well done to you but I disagree with some of your points (after 11 years dealing with Mr Coyle)

 

I will feedback shortly after being made bankrupt which I was waiting for but I want to feedback what happened at the hearing, what is happening now and the pro bono lawyers I’m in touch with that have been very helpful and to help others in similar circumstances. 
Coyle White Devine are bullies! Period
