    • I used to post regularly in order to provide factual information (rather than advice) but got fed up with banging my head against a brick wall in so many cases when posters insisted black was white and I was writing rubbish. I have never posted anything which was untrue or indeed biased in any way.  I have never given 'advice' but have sought to correct erroneous statements which were unhelpful. The only username I have ever used is blf1uk. I have never gone under any other username and have no connection to 'bailiff advice'.  I am not a High Court Enforcement Officer but obtained my first 'bailiff' certificate in 1982. I'm not sure what records you have accessed but I was certainly not born in 1977 - at that time I was serving in the Armed Forces in Hereford, Germany (4th Division HQ) and my wife gave birth to our eldest.   Going back to the original point, the fact is that employees of an Approved Enforcement Agency contracted by the Ministry of Justice can and do execute warrants of arrest (with and without bail), warrants of detention and warrants of commitment. In many cases, the employee is also an enforcement agent [but not acting as one]. Here is a fact.  I recently submitted an FOI request to HMCTS and they advised me (for example) that in 2022/23 Jacobs (the AEA for Wales) was issued with 4,750 financial arrest warrants (without bail) and 473 'breach' warrants.  A breach warrant is a community penalty breach warrant (CPBW) whereby the defendant has breached the terms of either their release from prison or the terms of an order [such as community service].  While the defendant may pay the sum [fine] due to avoid arrest on a financial arrest warrant, a breach warrant always results in their transportation to either a police station [for holding] or directly to the magistrates' court to go before the bench as is the case on financial arrest warrants without bail when they don't pay.  Wales has the lowest number of arrest warrants issued of the seven regions with South East exceeding 50,000.  Overall, the figure for arrest warrants issued to the three AEAs exceeds 200,000.  Many of these were previously dealt with directly by HMCTS using their employed Civilian Enforcement Officers but they were subject to TUPE in 2019 and either left the service or transferred to the three AEAs. In England, a local authority may take committal proceedings against an individual who has not paid their council tax and the court will issue a committal summons.  If the person does not attend the committal hearing, the court will issue a warrant of arrest usually with bail but occasionally without bail (certainly without bail if when bailed on their own recognizance the defendant still fails to appear).   A warrant of arrest to bring the debtor before the court is issued under regulation 48(5) of The Council Tax (Administration and Enforcement) Regulations 1992 and can be executed by "any person to whom it is directed or by any constable....." (Reg 48(6).  These, although much [much] lower in number compared to HMCTS, are also dealt with by the enforcement agencies contracted by the local authorities. Feel free to do your own research using FOI enquiries!  
    • 3rd one seems the best option, let 'em default, don't pay a penny, nothing will happen, forget about all of this. As for Payplan don't touch them with a bargepole, nothing they can do that you can't, and they will pocket fees. A do it yourself DMP is pointless as it will just string out the statute barred date to infinity.

    • 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,

 

My names Craig and I'm a newbie.

 

I have saved the FAQ's ready to print out.

 

I have completed my Data Protection Letter complete with (member of the Consumer Action Group) next to my name. hopefully this will make them sit up and take a bit of notice.

 

Letter will go off this week by recorded delivery. I will also open a parachute account.

 

Let the battle commence.:)

 

I will obviously need some help along the way and I will definately be keeping you all up to date on the proceedings as they occur.

 

Thanks:rolleyes:

Okay,

 

The SAR has gone in the post "special Delivery" complete with cheque. Should be there by 13.00hrs tomorrow. Then the 40 day countdown begins.

 

I have also created a folder for keeping copies of the letters I send and letters I receive. I have a telephone log set up and a timeline so that I can keep track of when letters were posted and the expiry dates. I am also keeping the receipts for the special delivery costs. Can I claim these back?

 

Still a bit nervous but also excited. Situation not helped by the fact that I have given up smoking today so a bit twitchy.

 

I can sit back and wait now. at least it gives me plenty of time to read all this great information.

Not sure if I've missed this but I have looked around.

 

Is there a link to thread on what charges we should be looking for when we get the SAR info back. I understand the "Paid Referral" = £30 charge. What else should I be looking for. Have the names changed over the past 6 years.

 

help would be appreciated. Afraid i'm not very savvy when it comes to bills and stuff. They all tend to go straight in the bin (Hangs head in shame).

Thanks guys. Could have sworn that I had read that link.

 

Thanks anyway.

 

If this goes to the courtroom, when I enter my documents would the court accept printouts from newspapers, internet newsites, other peoples cases that could be used to support the arguement.

 

I have been doing a few searches and printed out a few articles (Bailiffs raid RBS & Judge warns banks over charges). I thought that these may be useful supporting evidence. Have I been watching to much tele:eek:

Okay Guys -n -Gals,

 

Got the, I assume standard response from Barclays Data protection:

 

"Please be aware that the Bank is not under an obligation to present information according to any specific format.....blah blah blah....

copy statements supplied in the next few weeks....blah blah blah....

may be an increase in time required to collate.....blah blah blah....

 

As regards your mention of "manual intervention", the DPA does not oblige the Bank to comment about internal policies and procedures.....blah blah blah..

 

As the Bank is providing the copy statements on a complimentary basis your payment is returned herewith.

 

Pete Townsend."

 

 

 

Now I have seen that the Information Commission aren't buying this and that I have a right to this info. is there an updated template to take into account the new info we have got, quoting verse and chapter.

 

I did think I saw one but can't remember where it was?

 

Anyone.

I have just drafted this using a few of the ideas from previous claimants:

 

Does this sound okay:

 

Mr Peter Townsend

Privacy & Data Protection

Radbroke Hall

Knutsford

Cheshire

WA16 9EU

 

 

 

 

 

 

DATE PROTECTION ACT 1998

SUBJECT ACCESS REQUEST

 

 

Dear Mr Townsend,

 

ACCOUNT NUMBER: xxxxxxxxxx

 

With reference to your letter, dated 30 January, 2007, received today, my request was for details concerning any manual intervention by any person, or member of your staff or, if there was no intervention of any kind, confirmation of the same .

 

I asked, quite plainly, "Did manual intervention take place” - yes or no? If yes, then supply details, and if no, then please confirm. This you have singularly failed to do.

 

It has recently come to my attention that the Information Commissioner as deemed that Barclays are already in breach of their data protection obligations.

 

You have not answered my request satisfactorily, so I therefore remind you that your 40 days is running out. I deem my initial letter to you as having been received by yourselves on the 30th January, 2007.

 

You therefore have until Saturday, 10th March, 2007 to comply with my request. I re - enclose cheque No xxxxx for the sum of £10, for which I insist you cash, as this is the statutory fee for a Subject Access Request of which I am requesting.

 

I require full disclosure, as requested in my first letter.

 

I will require a receipt for the Cheque and I also enclose a copy of my original request.

 

Just to ensure that there is no misunderstanding “This is a Subject Access Request

 

 

 

Yours sincerely,

 

 

Is this okay? is there anything I could add to give it even more credence?

i think the thread you are looking for is http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/barclays-bank/50152-barclaycard-microfiche-they-wrong.html

 

It refers specifically to Barclaycard's procedures, but it'd not too much of a leap to expect the ruling to apply to Barclays Bank itself, is it?

 

Best of luck.

 

David.

DATE PROTECTION ACT 1998

SUBJECT ACCESS REQUEST

 

 

Dear Mr Townsend,

 

ACCOUNT NUMBER: 00272590

 

With reference to your letter, dated 30 January, 2007, received today, my request was for details concerning any manual intervention by any person, or member of your staff or, if there was no intervention of any kind, confirmation of the same.

 

I asked, quite plainly, "Did manual intervention take place” - yes or no? If yes, then supply details, and if no, then please confirm. This you have singularly failed to do.

You have not answered my request satisfactorily, so I therefore remind you that your 40 days is running out. I deem my initial letter to you as having been received by yourselves on the 30th January, 2007.

 

You therefore have until Saturday, 10th March, 2007 to comply with my request in full otherwise I will issue proceedings for non compliance without further notice.

 

I re - enclose cheque No 100218 for the sum of £10, for which I insist you accept, as this is the statutory maximum fee for a Subject Access Request of which I am requesting.

 

I will require full disclosure of my account for the last six years i.e. back to 30 January 2001, as requested in my initial letter. As this is after 2000, my details will be stored on computer and will therefore be easier to process.

 

I will require a receipt for the Cheque so that I may claim it back at a later date. I also enclose a copy of my original request.

 

Just to ensure that there is no misunderstanding “This is a Subject Access Request.

 

Yours sincerely,

 

 

Is this okay to send??????
