    • 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 and 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. So you really want to exhaust every possibility of avoiding them 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.

The "router" account below contains a phantom book debt - Mr Hemsley admitted that the "book debt" was an asset at the Commons meeting.

Sparkie and myself (and others) have been liaising with a whistleblower regarding RBSs behavior on the continent - I recently received an anonymous email advising me not to take this guy seriously.....Interesting.

Well, when you say accurate.:(

This was the "Book Debt" as of 1999, this is the figure that the RBS litigated on, & gained a CCJ for. The £300 are our monthly payments, Duncans CCJ was £56,187.08, & mine was £57,680.27. Despite the payments the "debt ledger" is increasing.

Here's the 'Router' stuff for 2007. Remember, they don't add post judgment interest (so they say!!) and we had been paying £300 per month from 1999 for 7 Years.

 

Strange that we have paid them over £25,000 and the debt has increased even though they don't apply PJI.

The RBS must like us.......we have many 'Router Accounts' that add up to lots of money that we don't owe but appear as assets for them.

 

It's going to take a few minutes to blank personal details but you may find it interesting

Here's one of our 'Router Accounts'.

 

I've removed our address and some other personal stuff, but our full names are OK, we are pretty much known and I want to leave the full Router Account number.

Senior RBS are aware that their "recovery" system was defective but have continued to present phantom assets to auditors..... is this not a criminal offense?

after the bailout in 2008, they know that they are indispensable, they can pretty much get away with anything. It's such a shame.

A book debt can NEVER be the same as the total indebtedness...that is how they are creating the false assetts.

 

The book debt is what a borrower has borrowed ....if you borrow £10.000.

 

That is your book debt.

 

Your Total indebtedness is the Book debt plus interest and other charges.

 

What the RBS are doing is turning the interest and charges ( i.e created money) adding these to the book debt into a total book debt....making the "assett" appear bigger than it is..... false accounting and fraud ......the total indebtedness does not become an assett until its fully paid....only the Book debt remains constant.

 

Clever aren't they???? or thought thy were.... but now they have been rumbled.

Can I suggest that you contact the Future of Banking Commission. Perhaps they'd like a copy of Sparkie's DVD.

 

http://www.which.co.uk/banking/howitwillwork

There's a bit more about it here.

 

 

What Termi hasn't mentioned here, is that she and I attended the Big Banking Debate in London on 4th and what a night!!

 

I had hoped to have posted a full report by now, but suffice to say it was like a breath of fresh air. MPs from the 3 major parties all gave the same message, that the behaviour of the banks is not acceptable and that they wanted to hear what bank customers have to say, including what ideas they have to resolve the problems. They specifically targeted charges and irresponsible lending, as well as bonuses. We sat at tables of about 10 people with a facilitator from Which? at each table to chair discussions on a number of topics and see what were the main 2 points that came from each of them which were fed back to the room (about 250 people attended in total).

 

Among our group, more seemed concerned about the interest on their investments than charges, although by chance a Trustee of Which? was among our group, and she was very well aware of the charges issue and was interested to hear about CAG and what we do.

 

There were 3 topics:-

 

1. Experience and Perceptions of the Banks

 

2. Problems with the Banks

 

3. Solutions

 

The MPs came down from the platform as groups discussed the topics and David Davis MP joined our group for a while.

 

A common theme seemed to be how impersonal the banks are now, no managers, no direct contact by phone, and that they are more interested in selling. We reached a conclusion that they are too big now, and there's no real competition. Profits are more important than people, and they just do what they like, without any effective regulation.

 

As we talked, I realised that profit was the real problem, and our charges are not only paying bonuses to bankers, but profits to share holders. I've decided to close my bank accounts and just use a building society which works for the benefit of its members, ie it's account holders and let the banks rot.

 

David Davis admitted he'd had banked with RBS for 40 years, but really people should move banks if they aren't happy with them, and it's true. While we stay with the banks they have no incentive to improve their ways or be truly competitive to give customers a good deal and a good service.

 

There was also a concensus that regulation needed tightening up, and that the FOS and FSA were failing as they too are bankers. One idea, which I thought was brilliant was, to have some kind of panel which included customer representatives.:D

 

The whole event was filmed and it should be appearing on the Which? website. We were also asked to hand in notes that we had takent so that they could be put before the Commissioners. I made sure I made some salient points and provided the CAG website address, along with a suggestion that if the Commissioners want to see what dire effects the banks have on people's lives, they should look on CAG.;)

 

At the end of the event we had a glass of wine, and Termi and I were joined by the facilitator from our group, who is also a Which? editor. She asked if we would like to be included on future focus groups and discussions on the future of banking, an opportunity we both jumped at, and provided our names, addresses and contact details. I really hope something comes of it, and I have to say, I think it will. I don't think it will be quick, and I don't think it will be easy, but I got a real feel that there is a desire to see things change.

 

Speaking for myself, I left the event feeling very optimistic

Hiya Matey

 

Your wish is my command;):D:D of course I will add a couple of points of my own:smile:

 

I sent John Mc Fall this e-mail last week....got an automatice reply to it so I know they received it.

 

Dear Mr Mcfall,

 

I hear that Chief Executive of the RBS will be attending a meeting of the Parliamentary Treasury Select Committee in the near future.

 

Is it possible that you could ask questions to him direct regarding the content of the two letters attached, which have been sent to the FSA and the FOS respectively.

 

One letter has been sent by me to the FOS the other is a joint one with Mr Paul Walton to the FSA

 

The content of these two letters will be explanatory enough for you to formulate some questions to put to Mr Hester, we have been attempting to obtain answers from the RBS top management and Mr Hester to no avail.

It may be possible for you to obtain them ...BUT I doubt it very much.

 

It is possible Mr Hester will have personally heard of both of us.

 

Thank you

Yours sincerely

I will remind peeps of what I showed on my DVD with regard to my " Router Account". and the falsely created EXTRA Book Debt and how it was done...

 

.I had an alleged original " Book Debt" of £171.57 after 15 months had reached an alleged total debt of £645....this was made up of the alleged Original book debt plus £474 of charges...RBS then created another " book debt" for these charges...............which cannot be a book debt............a book debt is only the initial fixed sum borrowed.

 

In Pauls case his Router account "BOOK DEBT" was made up of the total indebtedness which RBS confirm(ed) are Assetts..........but they are falsly created and fraudulently presented assetts.

 

Beacuse they are " Internal accounts" in Telford alone..... no one outside RBS Telford knew of their existance......they have come to light by errors made by the RBS..............there must be 10's maybe 100's of thousands of these Router Accounts but only 3 or 4 of us have discovered they exist.

 

In Pauls court case RBS stated that his Router account documents were sent to him in "error".

In my court case they were with held from my SDAR but presented in the RBS defence bundle....because Courts never give an LIP a chance RBS got away with it all

 

RBS conceal them from account holders who have them at Telford

Paul, Sparkie, Patrick et al I think you should all bear one important thing in mind. You are talking about a possible fraud involving a large bank and some of its senior management and perhaps Directors too. This Country is in the middle of a huge financial crisis thanks mainly to the actions of certain banks so the last thing the Government needs is for this to come out as well. It could set RBS into freefall and bring down other banks into the bargain and make our financial institutions the laughing stock in World affairs.

You only have to look at how probably a far bigger scandal involving HBOS

was handled back in 2008 where amounts of losses there amounted anywhere between £250 million and £1 billion depending on which report you read. Very few heads rolled, no prosecutions and one of the overseers of it all now is head of the FSA. You will note the comment that since he has been in charge, the FSA appear to have stopped levying fines on HBOS.

lookinforinfo,

 

Are you saying that we should go away ...having suffered monetarily mental distress aggravation at the hands of the RBS.......if RBS had compensated us for this a long time ago instaed of abusing its position of monetary power ...again which they never had in the first place....should all others also the ones who have had their homes posseded on the basis of these router accounts

 

 

I made the PM. aware of what had gone way back in August 2007 ...if the Govt and authorities has acted then RBS would not be in such a bad position as it is now and nor would the Govt...........sorry mate I do not agree what we shoud consider.....no -one considered us.

 

 

I must log off now or I will get angry and the sie team do not like me when I get angry :D:D ....ONly joking site team I understand the situation well

Far as I'm concerned the fact that they're huge and have such a highly inflated sense of self worth is all the more reason to ask them to account for their activities. By allowing such activities we condone their actions and only set ourselves up for another bail out the next time one of their great money making schemes fails.

 

The recession, caused by such reckless financial gambling in the first place, is no excuse to allow them to get away with anything else that comes to light. If they go under so be it, all of their legitimate interests will be passed to more trustworthy institutions who it could be argued are more deserving of any bonuses now and in the future.

 

This is the security of the economy we are talking about, I feel it's not a big ask to let grown ups handle such an important task and anyone who isn't up to scratch, entirely reputable and morally responsible should quite rightly have no say in such matters.

 

I understand that the country is struggling and I too have suffered greatly because of it but equally I will never be content to let the kind of practices RBS and others have engaged in to go unaddressed. I fully support those on here who are clearly fighting to get some very serious concerns raised and dealt with in the proper manner and with their persistence and the intervention of the right people the public will come to learn more about the institution they have supported with their hard earned money.
