    • 12mph (beyond any UK limit) will certainly qualify for a Fixed Penalty. So you should received an offer of a FP for each of the remaining two offences. Be sure to submit your licence details as instructed when you accept the offer. If you don't your £100 will be returned to you and the police will prosecute you in court.
    • and it will be also now written off under age related criteria anyway.
    • @dx100ukThanks for this! I'm still not clear if I'm facing more than 6 points on my license though. Can you explain any further please? When I accept the 2nd speeding ticket, will they just charge me £100 and 3 points, or will they be more severe consequences since that offense took place the following day of the 1st offense? Similarly, when I accept the 3rd offense, will they look at my record or just charge me with the £100 fine and 3 points? @Man in the middleI've been searching the forum and you seem very knowledgeable. Would you mind giving a look at my query please? Thanks in advance!!
    • Yes of course. That's why it says cc:: BIg Motoring World at the bottom. Don't imagine that this solves the issue. It doesn't. He not have to force the finance company and big motoring world to accept the rejection to give your money back. I suggest that you get the letter off tomorrow. And let us know what you hear but on Friday you should then send a threat to the finance company.   Have a look what I have said here about your options and read the whole thread as well.  
    • Been perusing the actual figures on the polls above wondering where the '16% claimed for deform comes from? I understand that there are 'weighted' end results based on secret calculations ...   Probably going to repeat this later, but remember that the ukip/brexit/reform/deform party has ALWAYS had poll speculation FAR better than their actual  performance at elections - by large margins. SO: The labor and Tory votes come largely from simply the people who say they will vote for them - sorted Lab 43% Tory 20%, with maybe another small 1-2% coming from the weightings of the 'not sures' Greens largely get what is declared from 'other' , although with another declared green bit from the 'pressed' question   So as the share of the voting displayed in 'other' granted to reform/deform is around 11%, where does the '16% too often being reported come from? Seems that reform has been granted as beneficiary of effectively ALL the don't knows and wont says, who when pressed didn't actually declare for someone else ... effectively adding 40%+ to their reported polling % - rather strange given their consistent under-performance compared to polling - or perhaps that is the cause of the higher rating eh?   Now I admit the possibility (probability?) of wingers being ashamed of declaring their support for the yuckey lemon end of the spectrum ... but surely  that should affect the 'Torys as well? Maybe the statisticians have simply weighted in that deform wingers are simply more likely to lie?   But - without 'weightings' and assumptions that faragits will get everything that isnt declared as a definite and unequivocal 'not that Piers Morgan' - reform is on around 11% it seems.   Add to that the history of polling a lot less than the hype - and the simple fact that faragit wingers seem to be spread across the country (presumably skulking in their moms spare room despite being 45+) and greens and lib dems seem to be community minded - I think two seats will be an epic result for farage. Hardly the opposition - far more raving wingnut party.   and importantly - Has farage got a home in clacton yet?

    • 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 Guys,

 

Been lurking and learning for a little while now but am about to get started on my claim. I have all my statements going way back so I'm one step forward than most people I think, but I have a couple of issues I'd like a little help on.

 

I have read a number of threads and checked the FAQ's but can't pin down an answer on a few things, opinions & personal experiences would be welcome!

 

1) Are Barclays likely to close my account? I have another account elsewhere already but it would really screw me up if they did close it.

 

2) I'm in and out of overdraft but I don't think they'd default me on it, my account used to be rubbish but is looked after a lot better now, and soon to be in reciept of a bit of boost I hope!!:D Anyone think they might default my overdraft as some others have?

 

3) I have a loan with Barclays too which I'm servicing without any trouble, could they call that in? That would completely screw me up financially and I fear I would have to drop the case if they threatened that.

 

I'm not afraid to take on Barclays having read the other success stories however I really don't want to move my account or have to repay the loan (which I couldn't do anyway!) I guess I just want to have a good look before I leap.

 

Thanks in advance

Hi Shinobi,

Whether Barclays choose to close your accounts is really up to them, in some cases they have and other they haven't. I really would look at getting another up and running before you go too far.

 

With regard to point 3, I'm sure that the loan is a totally separate entity to your bank account and therefore won't be affected by any other dealing you are having with Barclays.

 

Most of all, don't be scared. Banks do not want to go to court for fear of having to justify there over inflated penalty charges. Being a newbie myself I can only speak from advice I have received and not from experience, but I'm sure others will come on here and be able to help better than I can.

Me again, finally got my arse in gear (in work and nothing better to do!;) ) and have done my schedule of charges and letter to Barclays asking if they'd kindly refund all they've taken from me!!

 

Going off today, not sure whether 14 days should be working days or not, whether I should let them have some lee way for new year :confused: ?

 

 

Any road my claim amount is currently £2,751.84 although this will no doubt go up as they ignore me, get 8% added and end up owing me around £3,300, nice!!

 

Thats all, hope you all had a good Christmas, here's to a profitable new year!!;)

Haven't been on here for a while, I hope everyone had a profitable christmas! ;)

 

I received an acknowledgement of my complaint on 4th January and then a swift offer of £1,000 compensation (just the £1,751.84 short!) on 8th January all prior to the original 14 day deadline.

 

I then gave them the rest of the fourteen days before sending my Letter before Action cobbled together with the rejection of settlement letter to Gaynor Mills in Swansea.

 

So now they have until the end of the month before the claim gets submitted!

 

Just a couple of q's:

 

I've been charged another couple of times since my claim went in, my claim was from 01/01/2001 to 31/12/2006 but can I still add charges made after that date?

 

Second whats the timescale from now to recieving payment generally? I'm off on holiday from 21/04/07 and want this sorted by then ideally, don;t want things happening while i'm away either.

 

Thanks all :D

Just had a call from Barclays with an increased offer of £1,500, told them to put it in writing and asked them whether or not they would consider offering the full amount as I was confident i would win my claim through the courts.

 

They aren't going to back down that easily though so i shall reject the offer, hold them to the timescale from my LBA and make my claim on 1st Feb :D

 

In the meantime though could someone help with my questions from a couple of posts up:confused:

Yes, you can amend your claim for free up until you file at court. After filing, you'll need to amend your claim and pay a non-refundable £35.

 

Second whats the timescale from now to recieving payment generally? I'm off on holiday from 21/04/07 and want this sorted by then ideally, don;t want things happening while i'm away either.

 

When you file, they then have a total of 33 days to defend (and they'll use up all that time). You, and they will then receive an AQ to return to your local Court, that's another 14 days at least. Then you'll have to wait for the Judge to look at the case and set a date. In my case, that took around two weeks.

 

Thanks all :D

 

Hope that helps

Haven't posted on my thread for a while so I suppose its time I updated it:

 

My claim has gone through for a total of £4664.50, this was acknowledged earlier on in March and Barclays had until 31/03/2007 to defend. I logged on to MCOL this morning in eager anticipation that I could request judgement and there it was (or wasn't) no defence had been submitted and the button to request judgement was ready for the pressing!:roll:

 

I took a moment to think about what needed to be done next and by this time MCOL had logged me out. When I logged back in the screen had refreshed and showed that they had logged a defence on 26/03/2007:evil:

 

So I am now waiting for the court date which I hope will be sent soon.

 

***One question though:***

 

I am off on my hols from 24/04/2007 to 08/05/2007, if the court date or a relevant deadline falls in this period will I be able to ask them to move it? I'd hate to fall at the final hurdle because I'm off sunning myself!

 

Thanks as ever!

Well, that's what the AQ is for, so you can ask the court not to schedule during those dates, but we've recently seen some courts dispensing with the AQ in the knowledge that matters will not end up in court.

 

Having said that, I doubt very much you'd get a court date within 4 weeks! If you did, you must be in the only area in the UK where there is no-one else reclaiming their charges!!! For example, mine were filed in on June 5th and I got a court date for November 2nd.

 

Odds are that if your court sends out an AQ, you won't get it until about 1 week's time earliest. You then have 14 days to return it, same with the other side. To be on the safe side, you can then state your holiday period, but there's no way I can see that you'd get a court date during your hols. If I were you, I'd be more worried about the AQ arriving just after you leave for your holiday. Is there someone picking up your post while you're away? It might be wise to organise this just in case. ;-)

It currently looks like this:

There are a number of things which I can't find but are mentioned in someone else’s bundle, I've downloaded Bookworms bundle and they aren't mentioned, should I enclose them and where can I find them?:

Provisional Findings in Northern Ireland Personal Banking

Witness Statement – I can only see one for Abbey, do I need to adapt this?

Also in Bookworms bundle the OFT report summary relates to Credit Cards, is this the right one to be using for Bank Charges? If not I can't find the right one!!

Sorry to panic so much and stray off thread but help is required! Please!

Right then, Court Bundle submitted today but now i need some advice on Stays please.

 

I mentioned to the lady at the Court (Stourbridge) that Barclays had contacted me to say that they were going to apply for a stay (blanket letter that everyone's had) and asked whether the stay had been (a) applied for and (b) approved.

 

She said that Stourbridge County Court were going to apply stays for all cases except those above £5,000 but that I was still able to appeal if I wanted to. My claim is up around the £4,850 mark now so not far off £5k but I haven't had anything from either the court or Barclays regarding the stay application.

 

My question is should I appeal it before I get notified of it? if the court themselves have applied it I will obviously have to appeal rather than just turn up and hope Barclay's cock up but I don't want to get to court (6th September) and find that although Barclays have submitted nothing the stay has still been applied anyway!

 

Will I pee the court off by applying before I'm notified of the stay or am I ok to apply in anticipation?????

 

Given the size of my claim I might have a good chance of getting past it anyway, I just hope that B's are lulled into a false sense of security and don't turn up or file a defence and my appeal is upheld :D

 

This forum is an absolute godsend and there are some real genius' at this on here, Please help!

Thanks Saintly, have received this morning notification from the court that they are applying the stay themselves.

 

Have many people appealed successfully against court applied stays or only those applied by the banks?

 

Here's the text of the letter:

 

1.The court is aware that a test case has been issued in the High Court between the Office of Fair Trading and certain banks, with a view to determining issues of legal principle in relation to the recovery of charges made on bank current accounts and the applicability of the Unfair Terms in Consumer Contracts Regulations and other legislation to such charges. Further information in relation to the test case is available on the OFF’s website at http://www.oft.gov .uk.

2.Upon it appearing that the issues raised in the test case will affect this claim, the claim is stayed until further order upon compliance with paragraph 1 of this order with a view to awaiting the decision in the test case. Either party may apply at any time, by application on notice in accordance with CPR23, to lift the stay.

It also says that the hearing date has now been vacated:-?

I'll appeal obviously but not too confident.

Any advice anyone?

All you can do is try. If you don't, it will get stayed, if you do, you have a small chance to get in there, especially as you're close to the 5k limit. Have you recalculated your interest to date? That should make it even closer to the "magic" limit. :rolleyes:
