    • Hi all!   Thank you in advance for any help you can give me!!    I parked up (at 18:08) in a rush, entered my Reg and paid for an hour of parking. At 18:20 I got a ticket for not paying for parking.    I've just looked at my receipt and noticed why ... I put "22" instead of "21"  when i put in my Reg. yes... what a stupid mistake.    I seem to remember there being a court case or a rule change about entering the wrong reg but the company wasn't at a loss because i had paid for the parking just technically for the wrong car. Am i making that up?    Any advice would be gratefully received, even some key points i have to hit when doing the appeal      
    • You haven't returned to the thread to give us your views, but a couple of other things strike me which you should consider: 1. You say that at no time was your father's licence revoked by the DVLA. It didn't have to be revoked. It expired in September and his "entitlement to drive" (of which the licence provides proof) expired along with it. He could only continue driving whilst his application was being processed by virtue of s88, and it seems clear to me (based on what you have said) that he was not able to take advantage of the benefits provided by that section. 2. The letter he received threatening to revoke his licence was probably a template letter sent when any medical issues are brought to the attention of the DVLA. But it is clear that beyond September until it was eventually renewed, your father had no valid licence to be revoked. I believe a "not guilty" plea in court will fail. The basic facts are that your father's licence expired in September, it was not renewed until February because the DVLA were looking into his medical declaration and he could not take advantage of s88. So in December he had no licence and no entitlement to drive under s88. The facts that he believed he was fit to drive and that his licence was eventually renewed may mitigate the offence but they do not provide a defence. I also asked whether he had received a summons (very unusual these days) or whether he had received a "Single Justice Procedure Notice". The way to proceed from here differs slightly depending on what he has received so if you let me know, I'll advise further.  
    • Well, what I've read from various sources suggest if a CCJ is 6 years old that if becomes pretty much ineffective for enforcement purposes in its original form.  And that if it's about to expire then the claimant needs to apply to the court to extend the original CCJ within the final year.  Even if they do apply for an extension within the 6 years they have to have a very strong argument for doing so such as the person being out of the country or could not be traced, basically show they were actively still perusing the debt I guess. Now if a claimant ever does apply within the 6 years to extend the CCJ, would the person named on if be notified by the court that such an application has been made?.  In my case I've heard nothing from the court so assume no such application has been made.  The original CCJ in my own case is now a year beyond the 6 years of issue so must now make things even less likely again. So whilst the CCJ exists that they have not enforced it in that time must surely make it unlikely they can now take it back to court because as said it would be very rare for a judge to agree to such action now. That said, I guess they now can't use the CCJ to continue with any action for an attachment order to our mortgage either?

    • Well, they trashed their last election manifesto pledges, so nothing new really is it? They just find weasel words to try to claim they haven't actually failed if you just look at it just a little squinted and in this particular way  - and are stupid.

    • 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.

well ive just phoned the complaints department. and have been told they WILL have a response to me by no later than... 27th September.

 

The person (holly) who is dealing with my complaint is on holiday (nice for her)

 

so.......

 

Do i start legal action now, or wait for their response, speaking to my solicitor he advised me to wait for their final response as it can go 1 of 2 ways.

 

 

1 - they will back down, realise they are in error and remove the default

 

or

 

2 - they will refuse giving me another piece of ammunition for the courts, and more of a case for compen too.

 

 

So i guess im waiting till the end of September.

was thinking of putting something like.

 

After discussion with one of your telephone operatives, i have been advised that you aim to have your response to my complaint to me no later than the 27th September 2007.

 

As you are aware this date is outwith the deadlines set by me in my previous letters, copies of which are enclosed for ease of reference.

Notwithstanding that, following the advice of my solicitor, i have now decided to suspend all further legal action until your investigation is complete, however if no response is recieved by 27th September i will instruct my solicitor to commence legal action against your company without any further warning or communication.

Regards

KPR

hi all new to the site,

 

i sent off a cca to morcrot regarding a littlewoods debt and recieved the following letter, just wanted to know where i go from here regarding getting the information off my credit file logged under littlewoods and littlewoods finance......

 

the letter reads

 

 

Dear Mr xxxx

 

re: moorcroft ref:xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

client ref: xxxxxxxxx

 

i write to confrirm that our client (littlewoods ltd) has been unable to supply a signed credit agreement for you. we hae therefore returned pament you have made (they sent back the £1 p.o)

 

we accept that under the section 127 (3) of the consumer credit act 1974 this debt i therefore unenforceable via a court order. we must inform you however that the account still remains outstanding.

 

it isour understanding that goods wich have been charged to your account hae be ordered and delivered to you. we can confirm therefore that a default remains in relation to this account and wouldremind you that makig payment to clear the balance may assist in relation to your credit hitory.

 

please confirm that you accept that goods were oredered and received and let us have your ettlement proposals.

 

yours sincerely

UPDATE

 

well i got bored and phoned the Information Commisioners Office to check on the status of my complaint.

 

She said - i see you recieved notification in mid July,

 

me - thats right

 

her - it hasnt been assigned a case worker yet, and currently they are still dealing with complaints from end of march this year, beginning of April, so it will be a fair while before you get anything, infact i would be suprised if you get a response this year.

 

Me - right ok, well thats that then, bye.

 

so yeah they are still dealing with complaints from March, but my question is this.

 

Does this affect my court case when i take littlewoods to court?

or do i simply state that the volume of complaints is hindering their ability to make a decision?

UPDATE

 

well i decided to phone Littlewoods today (they have until the end of Sept to give me my decision)

 

the person dealing with my claim said

 

"although no final decision has been made, it is the companies stand point that the default will probably not be removed regardless of no agreement or applicable terms and conditions"

 

so if this is what they say im their final letter, i will have no choice but to take them to Court.

 

i think everyone would agree ive exhausted all other options?

 

this has been on going since December last year, in which time i have contacted them, i have done their formal complaints procedure, and i have written to the company secretary, written to Experian, no go there either

 

any other advice, because i honestly think if thats what comes through in writing ill have to rely on Court.

Hi Kenny,

 

i'm sure in the back of your mind you probably knew as i did they wouldn't budge for anything less than a claim against them. it is unfortunate that in the case of having defaults/adverse credit data removed the debtor almost always has to instigate a claim against the creditor/dca to get it removed.

 

On a more positive note, as you mentioned you have indeed exhausted all other means to get this resolved out of court which will serve you well when the claim is read by the district judge, you need to demonstrate that court is your last option. I would suggest now sending a letter before action to them; explaining the legality of why the default was incorrectly served etc etc, how despite numerous attempts to settle this matter out of court no favourable outcome was achieved and if the probelm is not rectifed within the next 14 days you will issue legal proceedings against them. Something to that effect, just don't make the letter to long!

 

regards,

shane

Thank you for your letter of xxx 2007, the contents of which have been noted.

 

Please be advised that all legal action on my part has now been suspended pending the result of your enquiry, however please note that action may again be resumed without further notification to yourselves if no resolution can be met or if your enquiry takes longer than 21 days.

 

 

just read the above from the letter you sent to them, you won't need to issue an lba, you have been patient enough with them i think!

Kenny to be honest I was waiting to see how you got on as I'm in exactly the same spot.

 

IMHO, as soon as they get your court docs they'll fold & remove the default, they're just being stubborn becasue they can.

I'm not an expert so check everything I tell you, however click me scales if I've been useful.
