    • Yeah, I would confirm that anyway, as there is a separate sheet where I have to put in those details and my insurance number and driving licence number. That is on page 2 (page one is their allegations) then page three is a statement that you weren't the driver and space to give details who was driving. Page 4 is an empty sheet for a statement to explain the situation. So I will fill out my details as the driver on page 2, admitting I was driving at the time, and then attach my statement as above as a separate sheet. That should hopefully do it at this stage

    • Seems OK, except that you must provide your details (as the driver). Include your name, address, DOB and driving licence number. This is to comply with s172 of the Road Traffic Act. Keep a copy and get a free Certificate of Posting from the Post Office.
    • Dear all, some information/advice required please.   I recently received a Further Steps Notice about a fine from 19/03/2018 which I knew nothing about. It was regarding a vehicle parked on the street without tax ( It was covered up and there because the only key to it had been stolen, I had been away from home  and I was having trouble getting a new key cut and coded to the vehicle )  I had not made a change of address to DVLA which would be why I knew nothing about the fine until receiving the final steps notice dated 29th April 2024 and giving me 10 working days to pay, although the notice did not arrive till May 9th 2024. I emailed the London Collection and Compliance Centre on May 13th 2024 asking for any information and they sent me a copy of the original fine. It is for  £390 back vehicle tax, £85 cost and £600 fine.  I now have received a Notice of Enforcement dated 7th June 2024 demanding payment ( total £1036)  or an arrangement by 6am 15th June ( tomorrow )  My question is is it tool late now to question the £600 fine part of the total amount to be paid ? That amount seems punitive.  Would making a statuary declaration regarding having no knowledge of the original court date apply ? And any other advice gratefully received. I am on Universal Credit and apparently they have already taken £177 via benefit reductions which I wasn’t aware of, but does make it seem strange that they were also unable to contact me.    Many thanks for any assistance

    • 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 Everyone

Just about to embark on my claim. I have my statements already so just need to sit down and work out the quantum.

I was just wondering if anyone has or if anyone knows of anyone who has had their account closed as a result of Court action against Barclays. The last thing I want right now is finacial difficulties due to a bad credit rating etc..

Thanks for your advice.

Hi Lazyeyes

 

Some people have had their accounts closed, although the majority of people don't have them closed. It is advisable to open a parachute account in case they do.

 

Having said that banks are not supposed to be able to close your account i9f it is on dispute and if they do this you need to get in touch with the Debt Collections Agency for advice. (Or so I have read!)

 

Hope this helps. Any futher questions feel free to ask

 

Good luck

Hi all

 

I haven't yet got round to making a claim yet but due to the increased media interest this week thought I'd better make a start.

 

Anyway, I noticed that due to the OFT report and likely cover up by the banks the 6 year limitation may not apply.

 

I am one of those sad people who has kepted his statements since the day he opened a bank account! I therefore have the info to go back years.

 

Has anyone tried this yet or is trying, and is it worth a go or is too risky in case the whole claim could be rejected? Any info gratefully received!

 

Thanks

Hi Again

 

Still haven't managed to put my claim in having been bogged down with my wedding and then the whole OFT test case etc but noticed that some Courts are still processing claims.

 

I think my local County Court is Bow in London.

 

Does anyone know if they are still processing claims?

 

Thanks!

I was wondering if there was anyone here who has made a successful settled claim against Barclays who would be willing to copy me a set of their papers just so that I can get the gist of how to do it properly? I obviously won't copy them I just want to make sure I get all the correct paper work sent to the court etc.

 

Why do you think I'm called Lazy lol!

 

Thank you again!

Hi all.

 

Yes I'm too lazy and still haven't sorted out my claim! However I was wondering if it is still worth giving it a go considering the OFT case.

 

Can anyone tell what to do or if there is a thread that explains all?

 

Thanks

Hi Lazy,

 

If yours is a personal (and not a business) a/c, the advice is to get your claim underway asap to avoid losing some of the older charges and to start earning interest on the claim while the OFT case issues are resolved. The case will be Stayed but you'll be in the queue.

 

Send Prelim Letter with SOC (Schedule of Charges) to bank, LBA then file at court.

 

Wait 14 days only after Prelim and LBA

We could do with some help from you
