    • and it will be also now written off under age related criteria anyway.
    • @dx100ukThanks for this! I'm still not clear if I'm facing more than 6 points on my license though. Can you explain any further please? When I accept the 2nd speeding ticket, will they just charge me £100 and 3 points, or will they be more severe consequences since that offense took place the following day of the 1st offense? Similarly, when I accept the 3rd offense, will they look at my record or just charge me with the £100 fine and 3 points? @Man in the middleI've been searching the forum and you seem very knowledgeable. Would you mind giving a look at my query please? Thanks in advance!!
    • Yes of course. That's why it says cc:: BIg Motoring World at the bottom. Don't imagine that this solves the issue. It doesn't. He not have to force the finance company and big motoring world to accept the rejection to give your money back. I suggest that you get the letter off tomorrow. And let us know what you hear but on Friday you should then send a threat to the finance company.   Have a look what I have said here about your options and read the whole thread as well.  
    • Been perusing the actual figures on the polls above wondering where the '16% claimed for deform comes from? I understand that there are 'weighted' end results based on secret calculations ...   Probably going to repeat this later, but remember that the ukip/brexit/reform/deform party has ALWAYS had poll speculation FAR better than their actual  performance at elections - by large margins. SO: The labor and Tory votes come largely from simply the people who say they will vote for them - sorted Lab 43% Tory 20%, with maybe another small 1-2% coming from the weightings of the 'not sures' Greens largely get what is declared from 'other' , although with another declared green bit from the 'pressed' question   So as the share of the voting displayed in 'other' granted to reform/deform is around 11%, where does the '16% too often being reported come from? Seems that reform has been granted as beneficiary of effectively ALL the don't knows and wont says, who when pressed didn't actually declare for someone else ... effectively adding 40%+ to their reported polling % - rather strange given their consistent under-performance compared to polling - or perhaps that is the cause of the higher rating eh?   Now I admit the possibility (probability?) of wingers being ashamed of declaring their support for the yuckey lemon end of the spectrum ... but surely  that should affect the 'Torys as well? Maybe the statisticians have simply weighted in that deform wingers are simply more likely to lie?   But - without 'weightings' and assumptions that faragits will get everything that isnt declared as a definite and unequivocal 'not that Piers Morgan' - reform is on around 11% it seems.   Add to that the history of polling a lot less than the hype - and the simple fact that faragit wingers seem to be spread across the country (presumably skulking in their moms spare room despite being 45+) and greens and lib dems seem to be community minded - I think two seats will be an epic result for farage. Hardly the opposition - far more raving wingnut party.   and importantly - Has farage got a home in clacton yet?

    • 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.

Does anyone know of a template letter that i could use to write to Provident highlighting the fact that this CCA is flawed with regards to the incorrect amounts stated and the missing "prescribed terms". Dont know how to make them aware that i dispute the amounts, as they still havent contacted me directly, everything is being done through CK Edrupt.

Suggestions on a postard please...

Dear Sirs,

Thank you for your response to my request under the Consumer Credit Act section 77.

I am pleased to see that you confirm this as a true copy of the original agreement executed by ourselves on the (date).

As you must realise this agreement does not conform to regulation 65(1) of the Consumer credit Act and is therefore unenforceable under section 127(3) of the same act.

As this is the case I will of course be making no further payments on this agreement, any further action on your part to enforce will be vigorously contested.

Any earlier actions relating to sharing of data with credit agencies or defaults should immediately be removed.

I shall also be considering further action to recover unlawfully applied interest and charges that have been levied on the “Agreement”.

HAVE YOU BEEN TREATED UNFAIRLY BY CREDITORS OR DCA's?

Rory32,

Thanks for that brilliant letter. Its a wonder that i still cant come up with stuff like that on my own...but trying to put pen to paper re these creditors just makes my head whirr with useless bits of info that are often entirely irrelevant!

Thanks for putting what i wanted to say into plain english!

Letter winging its way to CK Edrupt Towers later on today..

Cheers hun,

I didn't get round to writing that letter yesterday, but had a surprise in the post this morning from CK Edrupt, so it wasnt so bad.

I'd sent a request to Provident asking for the agreement and statement of account, etc, bearing in mind that i'd already received the agreement as posted above from CK Edrupt. was thinking that Provvy would provide me with the same agreement...

This is the reply (not from Provvy..but from their solicitors):

 

Without Prejudice

Dear Hannahbtw

Re: Provident Personal Credit Ltd and Yourself

Outstanding Balance £1572.00

Thank you for your letter dated 11th June 2007 addressed to our Clients.

Our records show that we did respond to your previous letter and we enclose a copy for your information.

We enclose further copies of the agreements, which confirm your liability for payment and therefore we consider that there is no reason why payments should be refunded.

In the circumstances, although our Clients are entitled to recover the balance shown above, we are advised that they are prepared to waive this right and not pursue this matter any further on the condition that this settles all claims in this matter.

If we receive no reply within the next 21 days, it will be accepted that you agree to this and we will close our files.

Yours faithfully

C.K. Edrupt & Co.Solicitors

It was an actual signature too...no computer-genarated scribble! i feel priviledged! lol!

However, is this letter the end of it? It wouldnt be able to be used in court would it? As they've put "without prejudice" at the top. So what is stopping them from trying to push for the repayments through the courts at a later date?

Should i send a reply to this letter, or just leave it and hope they stick to their word after 21 days and close their files?

I am wondering if this letter is enough to confirm that the account is now settled or do i need to ask for something else in writing from them?

Suggestions?

Thanks for all the help so far peeps!

Sorry Han I made a mistake it should be regulation 61(1).

I would say you've got the result you wanted Han.

 

Without Prejudice

The basic meaning is 'without loss of any rights'. It is a term used when two parties are in dispute, and one makes a settlement offer to the other. It puts 'without prejudice' on its offer to make it clear that the settlement offer should not be construed as a waiver of rights. Importantly, communication marked 'without prejudice' cannot be used in evidence in court proceedings if the attempts at settlement fail and the dispute comes to court.

This is from a legal fact sheet on the use of without prejudice:

 

Commonly, you use ‘without prejudice’ if you are making an offer to settle a dispute that you don’t want used against you in court as an admission, or as evidence of what you are prepared to pay as compensation, if the other side refuses your offer.

Thank you very much Josie! and thanks for your valued input in this thread. its due to all of the shared knowledge on here, that DCAs like Provvy are backing off and admitting defeat!

Many thanks to everyone that contributed to this thread.

Hi

I hope somebody can help me, I took out a provvy loan and after visiting the local CAB for help with my debts, they stopped sending round my agent and that is the last ive heard from them (even see my agent in town and asked her to call but she said she wasnt allowed) I have now received a letter from CK Edrupt solicitors asking for payment in full of £814.35 or £129.59 and weekly payments of £6.46. Neither of which I can afford the lump sum payments.

Please can anyone advise me on what to do next?

Regards

Provident rarely take anyone to court due to their previous problems with judges and their high interest rates. They prefer their low comission paid agents to try and do their dirty work for them. The agents soon give up when they realise they won't make any money out of visting/calling you. They then move on to easier and more profitable "customers".

These are video links to show how I deal with Debt Collectors.

ok have now had a letter from their in house solictors so what next? I did ask for a CCA which they did send but i have not looked at it properly.

What should i look out for that would make it not stand up in a court of law.

I know people say they wont take you to court but im assuming now the solictors will indeed go and seek a court order then il get those blue forms from the courts,what do i do pleasexxx
