    • 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.

:( have received a letter from this company saying that they are preparing court papers (CCJ) on behalf of thier client 1st credit. If I do not apply they will send out these papers as above.

 

Have already phoned National Debt line (v helpfull) as the debt is over 6 years old. There have been no payments or contact in this time, witht this creditor. I am about to post a letter I draughted, using the NDL template for "staute barred" debt. Have read the fact sheet and am slightly confused as to what an now happen - the letter is going first thing Monday recorded delivery.

 

Can they no longer collect the debt? Can they go to County court to proceed further? If they have no legal claim, will they just walk away after?? Can they go to County court without sending papers?? Will the court "throw the case out"??

 

Has anyone had a similar experience with this company??

 

Mant thanks in advance of your help guys :(

There are a number of factors involved when deciding whether a debt is statute barred or not.

1] you have paid nothing off the debt for at least six years

2] you have not acknowledged the debt in writing in the past six years

3] no default has been registered against you on that account for the past

six years.

I am assuming there is no ccj already your name on that account since that

would prevent Mackenzie Hall from applying for another ccj.

 

If you have met all those criteria, then the debt is unenforceable even if

you are taken to Court. You will have to be careful though that a default

has not been registered against your name. And the main way of doing that is to get copies of your credit file from all three Credit Reference Agencies-

at a cost of £2 each. [you will need all three companies files since the default

could be on any of them.

If the debt is statute barred then MH should not be pursuing you for the debt.

Send off the statute barred letter pointing out that as they are aware of the age of the debt, any further communication from them to recover said debt will result in a strong complaint to the OFT as to the fitness of MH to hold a Consumer Credit Licence.

Just send the statute barred letter off-there is a template one in the forum you can use as it has to be carefully worded to avoid acknowledging the debt

when pointing out it is out of date.

Once MH know that you are aware of the time factor, if they have any sense

they should leave you alone thereafter-but it is a big if..........

Its still a bluff from the Threatomatic computer. MH would have several steps to go through before taking you to Court. They churn out entire rainforests of this stuff all the time. As long as you are 100% sure you have made no payment or written acknowledgement of any debt then send them the statute barred letter anyway. Sit back and await their response. Post it here and we will have a little look over it for you

I'd like to reiterate this point.

You will be literally be bombarded with Mackenzie Hall letters, none of which come from a human.

One thing I'm not sure of though and maybe someone else can answer is how litigant they are.

many thanks for the advice guys (in conjunction with a handy / concise free factsheet from national debtline). Posted the statute barred letter on the 23rd july and they received this on 24th July (and signed for it). Have not heard a peep out of them since.

 

Is there anything else I should do or not as the debt is unenforceable??

 

Once again many thanks - although I feel lucky that I have the internet and could access the advice of you and NDL. Many others are more vulnerable than me sadly, but have already pointed one person in the direction of this site.

Currently you don't have to do anything.

Well done. The more people we can help the better.

Came back from holiday on Saturday to a letter from Macenzie Hall. This is the 1st place I looked for info. Didn't realise they were so prolific!

 

My boyfriend has just contacted them and they claim this is a debt for a Sky box from 1995 and that he should have told Sky his new address when he moved out. My fella explained that he hadn't had Sky since 1997 and that all he had no knowledge of this debt. He also informed the arrogant operator that as the debt was over 6 years old and no effort had been made to contact him, this debt was now statute barred. The operator insisted that the law made no reference to the age of a debt that can be collected! I'll be hunting down the statute barred template tonight and sending it recorded delivery tomorrow! We've had a copy of his credit file from Experian and Equifax but this debt isn't mentioned and there isn't a CCJ recorded for Sky.

 

Many thanks to everyone for your postings.

 

I'll keep you informed.
