    • Thank you for the letter, that makes things a lot clearer. So it's a statutory demand rather than self-certifying. See what @Man in the middle thinks but to me, it seems as if the lawyer has a good strategy and seems to have covered all the bases. HB  
    • Could you post up the letter, with your personal info and their reference covered up, please? It should say Letter of Claim, but let's have a look just in case. HB
    • I know dx, a lot of it was my partner and how she felt about it. I also appear to be addicted to my credit file being clean. I still worry for my partner she has too much on as it is, but I am ensuring I manage both of ours so She can forget about. i guess in terms of time I bet masses are defaulting with this economy as it is right now and high interest rates might be the only thing going for me right now. I guess  I’ll find out
    • Please see below for an extract from the letter more about my case. You have been convicted of two matters of failing to give driver details linked to two speeding offences and been disqualified in your absence. You confirmed that you did not receive the court documentation and the first you knew about the cases was on 3/6/24. As you can make a statutory declaration it is possible that we will be able to persuade the police to accept pleas to either or both of the speeding offences as they were committed within a very short space of time and withdraw the two fail to give driver details offences as normally if you plead to one or other of the speeding or fail to give driver details the prosecution will withdraw the other related offence. If successful you would not face a totting ban. In respect of the speeding offences, it could be argued they were committed on one occasion due to the proximity of the time and location and we may be able to persuade the prosecution to drop one of the speeding offences. You are technically guilty of all the offences because you accept it was you driving when the speeding offences were committed and that you did not update your change of address with the leasing company when it was your responsibility. If the prosecution will not withdraw the two failures to give driver details offences, you will face a totting ban but will be able to put forward an exceptional hardship argument. This  may or may not go ahead at the court hearing date, so we need to prepare for all eventualities. As a safeguard we have lodged the appeal and applied to suspend your ban pending appeal due to the time limit for being able to automatically appeal without getting leave of the Judge. The court have dealt with the matter very quickly and have actually listed your matter for an application to suspend the disqualification pending appeal on the above-mentioned date. We could actually use this date to make the statutory declaration in court having explained the situation to the magistrates and then see if the prosecution will agree to accept pleas to one or both of the speeding offences as a way of resolving the matter without the need for you to put forward an exceptional hardship argument. It is possible the case would need to be adjourned so that we can make those representations, or the court may want to go ahead and hear the exceptional hardship argument. The outcome of your case is always at the discretion of the Court.

    • 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.

Read through the mindzai thread though, this was an extraordinary case! and I doubt that this will be given to most people and I think it was wasted costs for 2 people if not three accounts.

I sent my last nudge on Monday, this was a copy of the 14 day draft order from my local court......... still nothing from DG, so today I have posted them the full bundle. Maybe sometime i might just receive some correspondance from them. Getting an offer from them is like try to kick a ball of ............. better stop there before I get into trouble. Dont worry your time will come.

freaky its the 7th August, but I handed in a draft directions request on the 11th this month.. sames a Sharons (copied her) and lattie gaveme help with the letter.............. tail end of last week phoned the court, but was told it was very unlikely to be granted as that would be 28 if it ws 2 14 day periods. and it was onyl 5 weeks at that time.....

 

Sharon suggested send DG a copy of the draft request along with a nudge letter...... which i did.... the thinking behind it was, theymight just make an offer rather than wait for the court to grant the directions......lol

 

should have taken into account what we are dealing with....

 

Sharon got hers a week after they received it........ so maybe the early part of the week..........

now I wonder what kind of ball you are kicking smith..............lol.....

 

you knwo if DG are acting on HSBC's instructions then perhaps a copy of the letter from the SRA to the banking ombudsman might be a way to go.........my thinkg process being then the banking ombs has to go to HSBC and challenge them on it. if they reply with we have nto instructed DG to conduct these cases in this manner. then ti would give somethign to go back to SRA with..... wont help us much but it might help others behind us......

i see what you mean! You would have had to post your bundle before the 2 14 day periods were up.

Well as you sat, going on sharons you might hear something early next week. Or maybe tomorrow?

I should remember 7th august, Its my birthday!!!

Hang in there auburn!

Wont be long now if they were going on the draft order should get your offer next week if they are going on court dates still wont be long, if they think there is any mistakes in your schedule they will send you a early offer anyway or, otherwise they will not have time for offers they will have to pay you full amount so either way wont be long!

what DG dont know is that that the last 10 days of their 14 day period ( before theyhave to submit to the court and serve on me) erm I wont be here. am away on holiday........ lol. so if they do wait till then.....lol......... oh dear...........

 

I am already working on a letter to take with me to the court on the 7th just incase they wait that long....and am also thinking on what to put in my submissions to the judge........ mine only have to go in 5 days before it......... so am hanging on as we all know DG wont submit anythign to anybody by the 24th:p ........

 

ofcourse they may well have settled before that is required which is what I am hoping for........ am also thinking aobut the cag picnic. that sounds fun........

Hi Auburn

Did HSBC say they had statements from as far back as as 95, I'm now looking to start another claim from 96 to 2001, and of course jan 2007 to aug 14.

Any bets that I won't need my parachute account:grin:

Ian, I think you are at a disadvantage here, I suspect Auburn not only has her RSA 1,2 and 3 but is practised in the the other subtle office arts such as the sexy phone voice and phone chatup (if they are giving her statements back to 1995 shes a grade 1..!!! )
