    • Hi on the notice of disqualification it lists the 2 speed offences and marks offence withdrawn? This is for both offences and then the other 2 is the MS90s which I’m fined for and the additional costs. R
    • Hi,    It has taken a while, but I have received an email from Auxillis -  hello, we are not dealing with this claim all we do is log accident for you isnurance - the claim has been passed to your underwriter markerstudy 0344 873 8183 as they are deal with fault cliams ion behalf of adrian flux. thankyou auxillis   I have made repeated attempts to phone Markerstudy in between working from home, struggling for energy and trying to find a cheap car so that I can keep my job (community support worker). Thankfully I have a supportive team and I am being given phone calls to make but it cant last too long. I had a severe migraine over the weekend and also have quite bad whiplash in my neck and back.    I found this in my insurance policy booklet -    Protection and Recovery If the insured vehicle cannot be driven following an incident leading to a valid claim under this section, we will pay: • the cost of its protection and removal to the nearest approved repairer, competent repairer or nearest place of safety; and • the cost of re-delivery after repairs to your home address; and • the cost of storage of the insured vehicle incurred with our written consent. If the insured vehicle is damaged beyond economical repair we will arrange for it to be stored safely at premises of our choosing. You should remove your personal belongings from the insured vehicle before it is collected from you. In the event of a claim being made under the policy we have the right to remove the insured vehicle to an alternative repairer, place of safety or make our own arrangments for re-delivery at any time in order to keep the cost of the claim to a minimum     I do about 20-25000 miles a year with the work I do, I have been getting quotes and putting that I have now have one accident and no no claims bonus and the cheap quotes from similar companies to markerstudy are more than double what i paid last year at 8-900 and aviva is offering 2600 which is simply out of my price range and more than the car i am looking at.  I am starting to wonder if it is even worth going ahead with the claim as i have no one to claim from. I have had no information from any of the enquiries I have made.  I have a full tank of vpower diesel in the car in the impound, i can strip it for parts and probably make what I will be offered by the insurance payout and get the money quicker.  As I have made contact and started the process can I back out, still keep my NCB and a claim free history? Also what happens with my injuries? I don't think there is any permanent damage but my dr refused to see me and just gave me a boat load of naproxen and codeine. What happens in the future if things don't get better and I cancelled this claim? Can you claim injuries off your own insurance because the other guy ran and you cant find him? I have tried to ask these questions off markerstudy but they keep me waiting for nearly an hour then end the call.     
    • Thanks for the response. Am I able to send you the documents I’ve received or can you message via instant message and I’ll send these? Reece
    • Regretfully it does. Have you actually seen any papers which show what you were charged with (rather than what you were convicted of)? It is unusual not to be “dual charged” but if you were not charged with both, you are where you are. If you had been charged with both offences and providing you were the driver at the time, you could, after performing your SD, have asked the prosecutor to drop the “Fail to Provide” (FtP) charges in exchange for a guilty plea to the speeding charges (you cannot be convicted of speeding unless you plead guilty as they have no evidence you were driving). You will have difficulty defending the FtP charges. In fact, it’s worse than that – you have no chance of successfully defending them at all because the reason you did not respond to the requests is because you did not receive them and that’s entirely your fault. No it’s not correct. Six months from 18/11/23 was 18/5/24 so, unless they were originally charged, the speeding offences are now “timed out.” There is one avenue left open to you. If you perform your SD you must serve it on the court which convicted you. You will then receive a date for a hearing to have the matters heard again. Your only chance of having the matters revert to speeding (and this is only providing you were the driver at the time of those offences) is to plead Not Guilty, attend court. When you get there you can ask the prosecutor (very nicely, explaining what a pillock you know you were for failing to update your  V5C) if (s)he is prepared to raise “out of time” speeding charges, to which you will offer to plead guilty if the FtP charges are dropped.   This is strictly speaking not lawful. Charges have to be raised within six months. Some prosecutors are willing to do it, others are not. But frankly it’s the only avenue open to you. There is a risk with this. I imagine you have been fined £660 (plus surcharge and costs) for each offence. The offence attracts a fine of 1.5 week’s net income and where the court has no information about the defendant’s means a default figure of £440pw is used.  If the prosecutor is not prepared to play ball you can revise your pleas to guilty. A sympathetic court should give you the full discount (one third) for your guilty pleas in these circumstances but they may reduce the discount somewhat. The prosecution may also ask for increased costs (£90 or thereabouts is the figure for a guilty plea). So it may cost you more if you have a decent income (I’ll let you do the sums). But MS90 is an endorsement code which gives insurers a fit of the vapours. One such endorsement will see your premiums double. Two of them will see many insurers refuse to quote you at all meaning you will have to approach "specialist" (aka extortionate) brokers. So you really want to exhaust every possibility of avoiding MS90s if you can. One warning: do not pay solicitors silly money to defend you. Making an SD before a solicitor should attract just a nominal sum (perhaps a tenner). That’s all you should pay for. You have no viable defence against the FtP charges and any solicitor suggesting you have is telling you porkies. The offer to do the deal is easily done by yourself and you can save the solicitor’s fees to put towards a few taxis and increased insurance premiums if you are unsuccessful. In the happy event you find out you were "dual charged", let me know and I'll tell you how to proceed. (Seems a bit odd hoping you were charged with four driving offences rather than two, but it's a funny old world!).

    • 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.

Yes but if its put to them if you don't remove the default you can wait for the money or get the default removed and I'll pay you a nice lump sum.............saying after all I've nothing to lose.................

 

If he plays it well I think they'll back down - I've seen it on other threads

 

Fair point, i suppose theres nothing like a lump of cash as a bargaining tool ;)

the DCA cannot default her if they cannot prove the debt. I also think she would have a good case to fight the original lender over a default that wasnt entirely of her own making. Obviously the person in the origal lenders office went to the same charm school as the DCAs. I would put my case in writing to the original lender

Hi guys,

 

Just to clear up any confusion I'm a he :D

 

It just doesn't sit right in my mind that I get defaulted in such circumstances and so I will do everything I can to stop it happening. I'm going to try to do my best this weekend to not think about it. Then on Monday at 10am I'll discuss my options with my solicitor. I wonder how many calls I'll get from 1st Credit before then?!

Are you aware that a default notice has to be served on the debtor to be valid? The default notice also has to be accurate (specific to you) and contain prescribed terms to be valid.

Hi all,

 

Latest installment .....

 

Received settlement letter offer from 1st Credit this morning. Interesting points to note are:

 

  • My name is spelt incorrectly.
  • They have given me until end of July to make full payment (previously it was due mid-July).
  • There is no mention of need to pay something immediately.
  • There is no confirmation of a default not being recorded on my credit file.
  • The letter is dated 22nd June (yesterday) despite the fact that I was told yesterday that 'a letter' was sent on 21st June.

I'll take it along with me to solicitor on Monday but would I be right in thinking as they don't have the correct name on the letter I haven't actually been issued with the demand so don't arguably need to act?

It just shows how incompetent tey are. Sorry to sound negative but 1st credit are not reknowned for their integrity and if you read other threads about them on here you will find what they are really like, They will soon start on their usual harrasing threat calls. Go down the CCA route before you do anything. They may appear to be offering to save you 4 grand when in actual fact they may have no right to demand anything

Needless to say another phone call just received that I rejected. No voicemail this time. I simply sent another e-mail stating that I have requested on numerous occasions yesterday that I do not want to be contacted by phone and to put all communication in writing.

 

I am definitely not paying anything given the incompetence and blatant lies they have told so far. I'm going to wait until I've seen my solicitor on Monday but am highly likely to be requesting the CCA that afternoon.

Sorry Rory, could you explain this a bit more for me? Does this mean they would need to notify me of the default?

Yes, by sending you a default notice that conforms to the CCA1974 and the Consumer Credit (Enforcement Default and Termination Notices) Regulations.

Just checked the terms of the loan and it does state clearly:

 

"If you fail to pay any monthly installment ... we shall have to give you at least 7 days' notice in writing, to give you a chance to put things right, if this can be done, or to pay us compensation, if not. This is called a default notice."

 

I have never received one of these. First communication was from 1st Credit telling me the entire balance was due!

Then the default isn't valid. Send off for your CCA immediately too. If you're seeing your solicitors tomorrow the court case to cite re the CCA is Wilson v Minister of Trade & Industry 2005

 

Don't let them intimidate you these DCA's & never trust a word they say.

 

Good luck tomorrow & let us know what's adviced

Hi there,

 

Sorry for the delay but after another week of fun and games here is the latest ...

 

Met with solicitor who advised the following:

 

a) It is very strange that my the lender did not state anywhere in the terms of the loan what happens when someone leaves employment.

b) I should approach 1st Credit asking for confirmation that they will accept £6500 as full and final payment and that the only adjustment made to my credit record will be to show the file as satisfied.

 

So I e-mailed 1st Credit asking for the above. 2 days later I received an e-mailed letter stating what I had asked, clearly stating they will update the file to show as 'satisfied'. I then presumed all would be okay.

 

However .... 2 days later I received a subsequent e-mail advising that they had spoken to the lender and they said they will only update it to show partially satisfied.

 

Solicitor is now away until Thursday and I'm getting sick of it dragging on!

 

I have just checked my credit file and the account is now showing as defaulted - b***ards!

 

Whilst I just want it to go away (and paying seems the easy option) I REALLY do not want that default hanging around for years especially when I was never even notified!

Hi Cluedup,

I've dealt with 1st credit, like you by email. It's all sorted now thankfully in my favour but since, I've been getting some very strange spam emails.

I'm not sure if they're related but from now on I'm going to use a disposable email when dealing with DCAs.

If you notice the same would you let me know? Anyone else noticed this?

 

Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they're not out to get you:)

Play hardball - say no lift default then will pay debt at 10 a week. lift default i'll pay you the 6.5 k (or whatever). They'll cave in if you stand firm..........

Yeah DCA's like cash now rather than later. Keep plugging away at them, they will cave. Just make sure that any offer is accepted in writing as a full and final settlement with no strings attached.
