    • retailer said they'd speak to dpd on Tuesday. I don't want to screw the retailer because they were doing me a favour by fixing it for free  I hope dpd will refund them so they don't lose out. Will keep you guys posted. 
    • Well, we live on the same road so it should be the same postcode. When I spoke to dpd and asked why were my neighbours' address not on the list and she said maybe they're not of the same postcode and I checked and they definitely were. Not to mention, delivery instructions are supposed to override actual customer's address which is why they asked for instructions I thought.
    • again a quick google search states Appeal a DVLA fine - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk) i would not be appealing mind. it's only a summary charge which they rarely do court on and pass out the powerless DCA's whom are not bailiffs they have 6mts. see where they go. as you've sorn'd it will probably be nulled. dx  
    • There are a number of reasons why you may not have been issued a notice in the post within 14 days. If you were stopped by the police it may have been given verbally. In the case of speeding offences, the police may issue you with a conditional offer of a fixed penalty of 3 points and £100.00 fine by post or an offer of a speed awareness course. If the offence is considered too serious for a speed awareness course or fixed penalty you may be charged with an offence which normally occurs by way of the issue of a Single Justice Procedure Notice. If the vehicle within which the alleged offence took place was registered to another person or company there is technically no need for a notice to be issued to the driver. After the police have obtained details of the nominated the driver, they will normally send the notice to them, although there are no time limits within which they must do so (provided that the notice was received within 14 days by the registered keeper of the vehicle). In such circumstances, a person may receive a notice several months after the alleged offence too place but still be prosecuted.

    • 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.

I decided to update this with all the sorry tale of woe and dodgy issues!

 

I had a hearing in October and had asked for the Final Charging Order to be set aside. This application was completely out of the blue for me as I never received any documentation, notification or details of an interim charging order. I filled out my N244 with help from this site asking for the Final Charging Order to be set aside for the following reason, the debt had been sold to Cap Quest who were now chasing very aggressively.

 

I brought all my documentation with me to prove that I had been out of the country when the first court judgement was made (over the Christmas period!). I also mentioned that I had proof that I had responded to the judgment and asked for a set aside. I had previously sent all the docs to prove that the debt had been sold on and Amex had no right to apply for a final charging order especially as no interim charging order had been set in place.

 

The judge, condescending and downright rude, said that the hearing was for a set aside of the charging order which had already been thrown out (no-one told me), he was not interested in discussing the original judgment and the girl who was there representing Amex tried to say that she had a letter proving the debt had been returned. The only good thing the judge did was say a letter was no proof and that the final charging order could not be applied for that day. When I said I had no knowledge of an interim order and this was supposedly granted when the debt had been sold, he was not interested. He said, very kindly (?), that there would be no costs for the hearing that I would have to pay. I was so angry! They had sold the debt on, they had tried to say that I had consented to a final charging order - liars! - and now I'm left with another hearing where I understand Amex/Brachers will try and get costs.

 

The long and short of this now is that Amex (Brachers) have just supplied me with all the interim charging order docs and that I have a hearing on 14 December for the final charging order. Judge has allocated 5 minutes!

 

I want to fight this! This all came about because I went after them for PPI, this amount plus interest is more than the amout owing. They have played dirty and nasty and I now have to submit whatever documents I can by the end of tomorrow.

 

I just don't know where to start. :-x

 

Any help would be appreciated.

Hello Madkit,

So sorry to see how they've treated you. It must be a nightmare. You've received great advice so far. Hopefully Steven or one of the other legal experts will be back in to advise, but many seem quite busy elsewhere at the moment.

If you don't get a response within a reasonable time, hit the red triangle.

Sequenci has done some excellent work here on charging orders too, you could try to PM him if you get stuck.

Meanwhile this will bump it up for you for the morning shift.

All the very best,

Elsa x

It would take me a day or more to document my fight and loss against Amex and the Final Charging Order result. However, just as I thought things could not get any worse, I received a very threatening card through the door yesterday. It appears the local court bailiff popped around to remove my goods for the same amount of the Final Charging Order and in Amex's name. Seems they want the money twice! :x

 

On phoning the helpdesk (because now you can't phone the local court), they said the onus is on me to tell the court that they should tell Amex that they should not have done this! She also said that it isn't up to the court to check that Amex have done something wrong (even though they have the court case number and all the details of the Final Charging Order) it is my responsibility. So hold on, you have all the information but it's still my fault? How does that work? :-x

 

I want to go after Amex for the stress and pain they have caused me not only in this instance, they owe me the same amount as the Final Charging Order in PPI payments which they refused to pay back. My first action will be to write to the local court and inform them that Amex have no right to go after the money again but I would love to not only get the Final Charging Order removed (by redirecting the PPI refund) and sue them for the complete shambles they've made of my "financial" life but I would also like to just for once get the better of this awful company!!

 

Any advice?

 

MadKit :rolleyes:

From what I have been reading, Amex cannot go after a debt that is a Final Charging Order. Can you confirm this please? I need to send a letter to the court today and tell them this and I need to know what wording to use.

Thanks!

Is this acceptable?

 

As per my conversation with the Court helpline and their advice, I am sending you this letter to confirm that the above reference refers to a debt that is a Final Charging Order, details below and this should not be a warrant for another CCJ or follow up on this debt as no payment arrangements were made or enforced as part of the Final Charging Order so the warrant should not have been issued and I respectfully ask that you inform the Claimant.

 

Help! I need to fax this today.

Thought I would update this, Amex were successful in their charging order and even tried to chase up the debt with bailiffs after this as well. However, all has gone quiet which doesn't mean they aren't working in the background to come up with some more dodgy tactics. I'm waiting to win the lottery so I can take them to court and the cleaners!
