    • Since you were stopped at the time there is no requirement for the police give you anything there and then or to send you anything before they have decided how to deal with the offence.  They have three choices: Offer you a course Offer you a fixed penalty (£100 and three points) Prosecute you in court  The only option that has a formal time limit is (3). They must begin court proceedings within six months of the date of the alleged offence. Options (1) and (2) have no time limit but since their only alternative the police have if you decline those offers is (3) they will not usually offer a course beyond three months from the date of the offence and will not usually offer a fixed penalty beyond four months from that date. This is so as to allow time for the driver to accept their offer. If he declines or ignores it they will take option (3). Unless there is a good reason to do otherwise, the action they take will usually be in accordance with the National Police Chiefs' Council's guidance on speeding enforcement. In a 40mph limit this is as follows Up to 45mph - no action. Between 46mph and 53mph - offer a course Between 54mph and 65mph - offer a fixed penalty Over 65mph - prosecution in court So you can see that 54mph should see you offered a fixed penalty. Three weeks is not overly long for a fixed penalty offer to arrive. As well as that, there has been Easter in that period which will have slowed things down a bit. However, I would suggest that if it gets to about two months from the offence date and you have still not heard anything, I would contact the ticket office for the area where you were stopped to see if anything has been sent to you. Of course this raises the danger that you might be "stirring the hornets' nest". But in all honesty, if the police have decided to take no action, you jogging their memory should not really influence them. The bigger danger, IMHO, is that your fixed penalty offer may have been sent but lost and if you do not respond it will lapse. This will see the police revert to option (3) above. Whilst there is a mechanism to persuade the court to sentence you at the fixed penalty level (rather than in accordance with the normal guidelines which will see a harsher penalty), it relies on them believing you when you say you did not received an offer. In any case it is aggravation you could well do without so for the sake of a phone call, I'd enquire if it was me.

    • 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.

Michael Browne has replied to me saying that my schedule of charges for court is the crucial one. I have corrected schedule now because put a couple of wrong dates on it including the title stating it claimed up to December 2007 when I meant December 2006.

 

Will the original schedule - sent with preliminary letter and LBA which is not correct and new correct schedule cause problems? Should I send my corrected one to the bank stating that there is couple of amendments which will be used in my claim. The schedule doesn't go with the NI form at this stage anyway does it? Any advice - thanks F

No

Regardless of what you sent before (it could have been a laundry list) it's what you file with your claim that the bank will 'defend'

The schedule doesn't go with the NI form at this stage anyway does it?

It does if you are actually filing using N1 at your local court, but not if you are using MCOL, which is why you should file at your local court if possible.

:confused: I have prepared my claim form so I can type it up at work tomorrow as don't have printer at home and am stuck

 

in the value section you write charges, 8 percent interest, court fee and total. Then underneath it says ..plus interest pursuant to s.69 county courts act 1984 from date of issue to date of judgement settlement at £ x per day

 

I have times my charges 1,998 by 0.00022 which comes out at 0.43956 so I have called it 43 pence a day from date of issue to date of judgement. Have I got my sums right? Yours quite exhausted

Hi Lula - thanks for replying to me - have written in another thread of yours but shall write again

 

is it a) charges 1998 + 8% interest 441.22 x 0.00022 = 54 pence per day

 

or

 

charges 1998 x 00022 pence per day = 43 pence per day ( this is how it appears on page 2 of CAG NI Particulars of Claim - Hard Copy Version - which why I am a bit worried)

 

sorry for being so thick but need to know before I start my computer claim form thanks Fran

Hi Charley - lara says its charges and 8 percent that you work out daily interest on - where are you up to with your claim now- any news yet - feeling v worried re possible court appearance now reality of claiming dawns. Fran

Hi Fran,

 

Have you done a spreadsheet for your charges?

 

It's just that reading your thread I get the feeling that you haven't. You are allowed to claim 8% interest on the debt from the date it became owing to you, so you need to use a spreadshhet to calculate it because some of these charges can be for 5 years ago and you can claim interest from that date. The figure on your N1 is the daily accumulation from the date you file your claim until it's settled.

 

My N1 is deemed served on 28th Feb and defence due by 28th March, so I expect something in the post from Abbey tomorrow (5 or 6 days before the last day they can file)

No daily rate is just your charges x0.00022, otherwise you are charging 8% on 8%

I have times my charges 1,998 by 0.00022 which comes out at 0.43956

This is right, rounded up to £0.44p

Hi - thanks but have done spreadsheet and worked out 8 percent -

 

Answer to my query : it's the charges x 0000.22 to work out daily rate that I will also claim on N1 form - not charges plus 8 % x 0000.22. It is good you are slightly ahead - you sound like you know your stuff. Good luck

Hi

 

I never had a reply from my lba and filed my NI on Friday gone - waiting for post from court. Then this morning I have 280 quid paid into my abbey account - all refunds. My original claim was £1998 so it's peanuts but still amazed. What is going on? If it is a GOGW why is it such a piffling, random amount? What do I do next? Fran

If you have already filed your claim then you can just let the court know that youve had part payment. Did Abbey send you a letter or anything???. I wouldnt ammend your claim as its not your fault the figure is different now. You could write to Abbey and inform them of this and that if it was for your claim then you will accept as part payment and take them to the cleaners for the rest. Well in about 3 or 4 months after they stall and stall!!:)

can we not tell them we dont accept and ask them to take the payments back we will claim the full amount by court, the fact they have paid them at all is in my eyes an admission of guilt, why should we have to pay to alter claims because of their cockup

:madgrin:

Dont have to pay as it was them that paid it and not you that messed up. You can just infrom the court at your next stage that they have paid a certain amount into your account and this will be deducted from your claim when settled.

I have had a letter now referring to my preliminary letter saying the charges are correct and the 280 i found in my account last week was a GOGW. I started my court claim Friday 23rd and it was issued 26th so need help with following having read around: which is the best way forward?

 

1. I let court know I have had a part payment by ringing them.

2. I can either adjust claim at next stage which will be settlement ( doubt it) or AQ or deduct from my claim when settled.

3. I should write to Abbey with rejection letter

4. I should write to Abbey accepting as part payment for claim and raise awareness of where proceedings are now.

5. I should not write to Abbey

 

I think number 1 and 4 but not sure if I need to explicitly reject GOGW offer Help please! Fran
