    • We need to see the actual document from the IAS where it is written - "The Operator's evidence shows no payment for the Appellant's vehicle, or anything similar. It does show two payments for the same registration in quick succession. I would take a reasonable guess, based on the circumstances described, that the person paying has paid for the registration of the person they assisted again." You can't just type it up yourself. At the hearing in July or August or whenever the judge will have two Witness Statements. One from Bank's director says you never made a second appeal. You say you did make a second appeal and the IAS concluded that payment was made. The judge will immediately twig that either you or the director is lying.  But who? Fail to show the documentation form the IAS and instead just produce something you've typed yourself will make it look like you just made up the appeal and you are lying and you will lose the case. Please let us see what the IAS adjudicator sent.
    • I used to have a retail outlet in London selling my husband's photography.  We also had a co-op with staff so they weren't directly employed by me, but I paid for the other overheads etc.  When my husband died, I carried on as usual for a while but then I became ill and moved quite far away so logistically was becoming very difficult.  I came to an arrangement (verbal) with one of the guys I trusted, that I would send him the images to print and sell as normal, and I wouldn't take any money, as a short term solution until I got back on my feet and worked out the best way to do things. He would pay all the  rent, insurance etc... Over a year later, not able to give things away for free anymore,  I drew up a contract as a wholesale agreement, so I would get everything printed and sent to him and I would invoice his for what he ordered. I noticed form the beginning that he wasn't ordering enough or frequently enough to be making any money, and was suspicious he was doing his own orders on the sly and ordering just enough from me to keep my happy.  I checked with my printer, which I've been with for 20 years, and he sad he wasn't getting orders for my images from anyone else. I emailed a few other printers to ask them to keep a look out for some images but I soon realised this would be impossible to police.  The only option really would be to buy a print from him and check the stamp on the back of it.  I finally managed to get hold of on the prints on sale, and sure enough, he did not order it through me.   In the contract he signed in 2022 it explicitly states that he must destroy all files I had previously sent him etc etc so e is in breach of that.  When I drew up the contract, I was careful to make sure it was legally binding, but before I let rip at him, I need to know where I stand.  The contract is here: PARTIES This WHOLESALE AGREEMENT (“Agreement”) is made effective as of 30th June, 2022, by and between ############################## The Supplier and the Client, collectively referred to as the "Parties," hereby agree to the following terms: TERMS AND CONDITIONS SALES OF GOODS The Supplier agrees to provide the following goods to the Client (“Goods”): Description of Goods ################################# Doc ID: 3d54c1d336d8780243801e0e068ebd33114b088b BOTH PARTIES AGREE: The Client purchases the Goods through the Supplier directly, and agrees to delete/destroy any previously held digital images (Goods) owned by the Supplier, and agrees not to use any such files for monetary gain, outside of this agreement, either directly or through a third party from immediate effect of this agreement. The Client purchases the other materials necessary for resale of the Goods independently of this agreement. The Client shall have exclusive rights for resale of Goods at ###########, and also with permission, as a retailer of the Goods elsewhere, provided that there is no conflict of interest between the Supplier and the Client. The Client is free to decide their own retail prices, for the Goods. The Supplier shall use #####  to provide the printed Goods on Fujifilm Crystal Archive paper, with Lustre finish, and will not use any other Printer unless #### cease to trade, without prior approval from the Client. The Supplier shall not impose restrictions on size or frequency of orders made by the Client. The prices provided by the Supplier shall not increase for a minimum of 3 years, unless the prices of the raw materials rise, in which case the client will be informed immediately. Any discounts/promotional prices of raw materials shall be passed on to the Client by the Supplier, and the invoice will show adjustments for this, as well as credit for return postage of any damaged goods. This agreement can be terminated by the Client without notice; the Supplier must give notice of no less than 90 days, unless the terms of the agreement are breached, in which case, the agreement can be terminated with immediate effect. PAYMENT Orders must be paid for upon receipt of invoice, via Bank transfer: ######### Doc ID: 3d54c1d336d8780243801e0e068ebd33114b088b DELIVERY AND INSPECTIONS All orders received by 12.00am (midnight) shall be processed by the Supplier the following working day and delivery of order shall arrive in accordance with the Royal Mail schedule, or DPD, should express delivery be requested. The Client shall be liable for the delivery charge which shall be added to the invoice. The Goods will be delivered to the address specified by the Client. The Client shall be provided with order tracking, and should any problems arise with the ordering system or the couriers (Royal Mail, DPD), the Client shall be informed without delay of any such issues. The Client will inspect the Goods and report any defects or damage to the Goods in transit as soon as possible upon receipt of Goods, and will retain damaged Goods for return to Supplier for refund/replacement. GENERAL PROVISIONS CONFIDENTIALITY The prices of the Goods and other information contained in this Agreement is confidential and will not be disclosed by either party unless with prior written consent of the other party. INDEMNIFICATION The Client indemnifies the Supplier from any claims, liabilities, and expenses made by any third party vendors or customers of the Client. GOVERNING LAW This Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with UK Law. ACCEPTANCE Both parties understand and accept the wholesale arrangement stipulated under this Agreement. Doc ID: 3d54c1d336d8780243801e0e068ebd33114b088b IN WITNESS WHEREOF, each of the Parties has executed this Wholesale Agreement as of the day and year set forth above.   Signed by us both electronically.   I haven't broached any of this yet, and I am looking for some advice about what action to take.  The main issue I've got is that he has still go those images.  If I terminate the contract, I will need to know that he no longer has those images and I can't think of a bulletproof way to do this. I'm thinking I might tell him I will continue with the contract but ask for a  sum in damages and say that if I find out he's still doing it down the line I will terminate the contract and sue him for damages. The damages side of things I'm not sure how it would work as he is self employed, and I'm positive he doesn't declare all of his earnings to HMRC, in order to find out how much I have lost, would the court demand to go through his tax self assessments?  I'm not sure how to proceed with this, I don't want to lose that place as an outlet as it is in a prime spot in London, which is why I let him have those images in the first place as I would have had to pull out altogether at that point.  I am regretting it somewhat now though.  Please help.

    • 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.

Just wondering if anyone has dealt with Newlyn collection agency.

 

My mum has oustanding £1100 from her 2006/07 council tax.She has paid £300 in the last month.Newlyn collection agency has said that if the full amount is not paid by the 31st March they will send the bailliffs around to collect in person.

 

Is there anything we can do to stop this? Any advice would be appreciated.

 

Thanks

Maybe she should try the Citizens Advice. They could tell her where she stands. Also tell her to write them a letter offering a payment plan (recorded of course) and keep a copy. If is does go further then they will see that she has tried and they are being uncooperative.

 

Maybe someone else may be of help on this site so wait for some more replies.

Hi, i dont know if this will be of help but might be worth a try. Contact your local MSP and explain that your mum is very upset and is being harrassed. Tell him that she has offered to pay something back each month (i was sure that as long as she is willing to pay something they had to take it - but im not exactly sure) and ask his advice. Make it clear to him that she is not in a position to pay the whole lot off. I empathise with you completely because i know so many who have been through this and the council really are callous when it comes to this. I dont know how they get away with behaving like loan sharks - they dont listen to people at all and use threats of arresting your bank account and taking your possessions - it should not be allowed. Hope you get the info you need

newlyn have been after me for 3yrs!

 

Changed several addresses and then they found me, their tactics range from different coloured letters, stating several rubbish claims, commitial to prison, baliffs coming etc etc......

 

I got them off my back by stating the following.......ring them up, say you want to pay off monthly, this is how much and that is final.....you already have been to court about other debts, 2 other baliffs for different debts, and couldnt care if they come round or not, your choice.......trust me, this works...scary but works......know this, telesale staff at these agencies are paid by the speed of claim collection, but they are not stupid, if the above was true a court would deem them unfair. i am not saying to everyone to follow my method, but it got them off me....

 

let me know how it goes

Hi Ginger66,

have been in this situation at least three times. Unfortunatly, because judgment has already been passed in a county court, the council then no longer deals with it, the bailiffs do it for them.

They called when I was out and left a card through the door, so I called them. The lady who answered arranged for a visit, explaining that no goods would be taken, just listed, and an arrangement would be made to pay the money.

When the guys arrived, I was very surprised because they were so helpful ! They looked at our in-comings V outgoings and agreed that we were seriously in a bad way, (mortgage payments, bills, insurance, daily living expenses were more than we had coming in) so they advised us on Tax credits and other matters.

We agreed on instalments that were just affordable.

Then It happened again, and they returned, and again were really good. One even said thats lots of people actually wait for them to come because they are more helpful than the council, which is something we definatly found.

If they do call, they cannot take any goods, they are listed, then if the agreement is defaulted by the debtor, they can apply to remove goods, but they must be of some value.

And they only checked our living room and kitchen.

If you let them know that you are keen to resolve the matter, I'm sure they will try to help.

Whizzard.

Hi Ginger66

I've been in same situation when I gave up working to look after my Mum

after she suffered a stroke. Then I go into debt.

 

In my panic, I agreed to pay far more than I could actually afford (which just added to the stress). Now, I know I should have followed all the free advice - ie: come to a payment arrangement which you can afford (just about).

 

Newlyn first wanted me to pay £150 per month (which I certainly could not afford). Then it went down to £40 per month. HOWEVER, now that I have paid it off - finally - they are still chasing me and threatening bailiffs. I asked for schedule of all my payments made - they sent me a crazy one, showing only about half of my payments. A lot of my time spent in finding my proof of payments, then sending these to them. Newlyn agreed I had paid, so - all fine for a while, then, again, they send letter saying I owe over £500 & threaten bailiffs. Again, I go thro' the whole process, 'phoning them. Very stressful as they don't believe you & say they can't stop the bailiff. So you have to persevere (as calmly as you can)... Finally, again they say "fine, you have paid". But, again they have sent me another letter saying I owe over £500 and threaten baillifs.

Now, I'll write to the head of Newlyn. I'm not sure what next step I should take to stop all this (never-ending nightmare). Any help, please...?

PS: Ginger66 - as others have said, go to the Citizens Advice Bureau asap - and only pay what you can afford.

I would write asking for full and final confirmation that you have indeed paid off the debt, photocopy all your evidence and send it to them, and say that any furhter communication from them apart form a final letter to say youve paid will be harrasment and will be reported to the police

 

not sure the OFT could do anything about this, but i would also copy the courts that issued the CCJ and send it off to them!

Kennyparkroad:- Thank you! Great to get your immediate reply & with very welcome advice (which I will now act on). As you see, I'm new to this...If only CAG was in existence during the years I looked after my mum & getting more and more into debt (& still struggling out of it). Now, I don't feel so isolated! Thanks again, Kennyparkroad - and, of course, to CAG!

Kennyparkroad: I spent too much time today composing/writing my 2-page letter and just caught last mail collection- so, no time to post draft letter here. (Following your advice, I said I would send copy of my letter to the Court, which I will do).Again, thanks for your advice. Also,(very importantly!), your follow-ups pressurized me to get the letter written and sent, in quite good time....for me(!)- 3 days before threatened bailiff's visit. Will advise as to outcome.PittypatPS: I clicked "next thread" in error & found your informative letter re: Littlewoods (OFT guidelines). Very useful info .....Thanks! Trust this, and my letter, means I can sleep easy & Saturday has no unwelcome visit....

Hi Ginger

Newlyn are complete *****s!

first my advice then what i am doing,

1.if possible contact the council (they will say that as its with the debt collectors they wont discuss it, ignore this) ideally address your correspondence to the head or a named party. explain the situation blah blah, say the Newlyn are putting undue presure on ask the council to take the bill back and try to come to an amicable repayment schedule. They wont want to do this but they can!

 

2. if you raise an official complaint (at my council called a stage1, this may or may not help, my council managed to reduce the "fee's" of newlyn) it will have have to be dealt with by someone in the department.

 

3. Never let a bailif into your home, once they have been in they have some rights, not sure what but just DON'T. also i found that the minute they demand payment that day, or you incur a "fee" also DON'T commit to payments you cant make, again you will be charged for breaking an arrangement

 

4. i sought legal advice, under council tax law you can apply to county court judge, who can deem the bailif charges (only the charges) as unfair and can demand their adjustment. (not sure if this is any use, but it is an option and you can always say you'd been advised of it.

 

I know it is very stressful but hang in there

(if its harringey council get in touch with me,)

 

Newlyn stated to me that they act within Legislation, however the way they have acted in my case is scandalous and i have contacted my MP i am in the process of drafting a letter to ask her to raise a parlimentery question about the fairness of this legislation (after all it is only going to affect those who can least afford it.)

If anyone wants to start a campaign to protest i'd happily contribute!!!

 

 

My problems with Newlyn:

unpaid council tax account was sent to newlyn 29/12/07 i was first contact by bailif caqlling card 16/01/08 in that time Newlyn had charged me £378 in fee's on a £700 CTax `bill!!!

they state i had two accounts ie. two debts from separate year Ctax, this mean they can legally charge me twice for every action.

for example they state they attended my address with a van, this cost me £100 x2 one van, one man, two charges! thats x2 for everything!

i never received any of the other contacts i was charged for, when i asked( ie. no evedence of any visit) Newlyn said they dont have to prvide prove of thier services.

 

ass****'s

thanx for reading if you got this far

hope it helps someone, fight em but dont get yourself deeper in debt, contact your local paper(your'e not alone) contact the council, MP, anyone and everyone
