    • Hi all!   Thank you in advance for any help you can give me!!    I parked up (at 18:08) in a rush, entered my Reg and paid for an hour of parking. At 18:20 I got a ticket for not paying for parking.    I've just looked at my receipt and noticed why ... I put "22" instead of "21"  when i put in my Reg. yes... what a stupid mistake.    I seem to remember there being a court case or a rule change about entering the wrong reg but the company wasn't at a loss because i had paid for the parking just technically for the wrong car. Am i making that up?    Any advice would be gratefully received, even some key points i have to hit when doing the appeal      
    • You haven't returned to the thread to give us your views, but a couple of other things strike me which you should consider: 1. You say that at no time was your father's licence revoked by the DVLA. It didn't have to be revoked. It expired in September and his "entitlement to drive" (of which the licence provides proof) expired along with it. He could only continue driving whilst his application was being processed by virtue of s88, and it seems clear to me (based on what you have said) that he was not able to take advantage of the benefits provided by that section. 2. The letter he received threatening to revoke his licence was probably a template letter sent when any medical issues are brought to the attention of the DVLA. But it is clear that beyond September until it was eventually renewed, your father had no valid licence to be revoked. I believe a "not guilty" plea in court will fail. The basic facts are that your father's licence expired in September, it was not renewed until February because the DVLA were looking into his medical declaration and he could not take advantage of s88. So in December he had no licence and no entitlement to drive under s88. The facts that he believed he was fit to drive and that his licence was eventually renewed may mitigate the offence but they do not provide a defence. I also asked whether he had received a summons (very unusual these days) or whether he had received a "Single Justice Procedure Notice". The way to proceed from here differs slightly depending on what he has received so if you let me know, I'll advise further.  
    • Well, what I've read from various sources suggest if a CCJ is 6 years old that if becomes pretty much ineffective for enforcement purposes in its original form.  And that if it's about to expire then the claimant needs to apply to the court to extend the original CCJ within the final year.  Even if they do apply for an extension within the 6 years they have to have a very strong argument for doing so such as the person being out of the country or could not be traced, basically show they were actively still perusing the debt I guess. Now if a claimant ever does apply within the 6 years to extend the CCJ, would the person named on if be notified by the court that such an application has been made?.  In my case I've heard nothing from the court so assume no such application has been made.  The original CCJ in my own case is now a year beyond the 6 years of issue so must now make things even less likely again. So whilst the CCJ exists that they have not enforced it in that time must surely make it unlikely they can now take it back to court because as said it would be very rare for a judge to agree to such action now. That said, I guess they now can't use the CCJ to continue with any action for an attachment order to our mortgage either?

    • Well, they trashed their last election manifesto pledges, so nothing new really is it? They just find weasel words to try to claim they haven't actually failed if you just look at it just a little squinted and in this particular way  - and are stupid.

    • 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.

In a pickle now..... Should I not send in the AQ as I need to amend claim.....How the heck do I do that? Will I be charged? AQ has to be in by 5/8/07 - panic, panic. Is there a special form for POC to go on or just type it out/cut and paste it onto plain paper?

 

Really appreciate some reassurance here.........stand to lose a lot of cash:o

Help think I have got cheque mate!!!!!!!!!!

 

Received 2 letters off SC&m today both dated 17th July. First one says please contact bank within 14 days to arrange appt. with local Bank Manager. Second one offers full and final settlement of £2158.51 which includes Court fees - no interest claimed. I have to sign letter agreeing to 7 outlined points.... confidentiality, arrange review of account...blah, blah, blah. I have to send this back to SC&M no later than 31 July. What do I do? I know there are some things I have to cross out and is there a letter I need to send them too?

My AQ is due in Court by latest 5th August - Do I still need to lodge this now or wait for a payout and if no payout lodge it bwefore cut off date of 5th August?

 

Gone all giddy as due to go on jollies 07.09.07:lol: :cool::smile::p

No need to sign their letter, send your own:

 

Date

Dear Whoever

Ref: Your Offer of Settlement

 

Account: xxxxxxxx

Sort Code xx-xx-xx

Claim No: XXXXX in XXXX County Court

 

I acknowledge receipt of your letter date xx/xx/xx and your settlement offer of £XXX.

 

I accept your offer as full and final settlement only for this claim of bank charges made on my account between xx/xx/xx and xx/xx/xx(dates of first and last charge).

 

However I will only accept an unconditional offer and will therefore not be signing your acceptance agreement

 

I accept this offer without prejudice and I reserve the right to make any further claims should you apply future charges that may be considered unlawful under common law or in violation of the Unfair Terms in Consumer Contracts Regulations 1999 or Unfair Contract Terms Act 1977.

 

I will be willing to withdraw my claim and will send a Notice of Discontinuance to the Court upon receipt of unconditional full settlement of my claim

 

I am also not prepared to agree to any confidentiality clauses you try to impose, unless of course your client wishes to make an offer of due consideration in addition to the amount of £xxxxx, in order to be afforded this privilege by myself.

 

I trust that you will find this arrangement acceptable.

 

Yours sincerely

 

As regards AQ, you are unlikely to be paid before 5th Aug. I would submit the Aq now and pay the fee. This will keep the claim on going in case they don't pay (although very unlikely) and mention in the letter that the claim will not discontiniued until this fee is paid.You will need to amend the letter accordingly.

 

Alternatively send the letter as is and also write to the court explaining you have had a full offer and asking the court to defer your case for 14 days in order that you receive payment and you will inform the court whether payment is made and that you wish to discontinue the claim at that time

I have posted letter back to SC&M today accepting their offer minus terms and conditions and reminding them that case will continue unless they pay up - fingers crossed.

 

One question though when I write to the Court asking them to defer the case for 14 days to allow for payment does this mean that my AQ does not have to be in on 5th Aug but 19th Aug? - confused:???:

Thank you Michael :D - so just to clarify as my head is in a whirl right now!!!!

 

As I have sent back acceptance to SC&M for full and final settlement by cut off date of 31 July 2007 this means I should still receive the money? Really confused as I have seen reports saying that until today's test case is sorted then cases will be frozen!!!!!:eek::!:

 

Sure I ma not the only one having a wobble with this one:rolleyes:

  • 2 weeks later...

BUMP

Still not been paid out:mad: - I know SC&M signed for my acceptance letter on 25 July Rec Del. Rang them last week and they said wait 2 weeks to be paid out. Rang today as 2 weeks passed. Told me that I had to wait 2-3 weeks due to backlog. Told me to ring back next week if not paid then said it could take 3-4 weeks. If I rang back nex week they would tell me where things were up to. I said why can you tell me next week and not this week when I will be paid - got some feeble fob off answer.........................

 

QUESTION:

 

What can I say next week to hurry them up - I have asked deferment off the Court to allow them time to pay up.............HELP...............just want to be paid before jollies on 7th Sept.............ANY STRONG WORDS OF WISDOM OUT THERE????????????????????? :rolleyes:

HELP

After not receiving payment in 3 weeks, I rang SC&M again today to be told that they may have closed my file and forgot to pay me and that they will pass it to a something or other department and they will ring me within 2 days to tell me where things are up to.

Getting worried as read a thread on this site where somebody had been made a full and final settlement but not signed t's and c's and had the offer withdrawn. I too sent my own letter and dd not sign SC&M's t's and c's...........HELP

Also if they keep stalling me what can I use as a means to make th4em pay up. I have written to the Court for a deferment to enable payment to take place. What next?

I saw a case yesterday where Lloyds are using not sending back an unconditional acceptance of their offer as a reason not to pay and relying on the OFT case to defer payment.

 

I can only say keep on pestering them.

 

I would not seek to defer the court date as this only takes the pressure off them.
