    • How does one obtain the permit? The permit team number is only open between the hours of 9am to 3pm Mon - Fri. It says on the website, To obtain an additional 2 hours, the driver must pay a tariff of £3.00 + booking fees in person at our Security Hut, is that how you get the permit also, from the security hut? What a rigmaroll that would be but maybe just another step to take to try and catch people out?
    • Anotheruser0000 bear in mind that not all Judges are equally versed in the PoFA regulations. Fortunately now most of them are but sometimes a Judge from a higher Court sits in who is well experienced  in Law but not PoFA. and so they sometimes go "offkey" because their knowledge can raise a different set of arguments and solutions. It does seem particularly unfair  when the decision is so  bad . it can also be that in some situations the motorist being a lay person is not sufficiently know ledgeable to be able to counter a Judge's decisions in a way that a barrister could.
    • The argument about the date of receipt is now dead because the PCN  does not comply with the wording  of the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012 Schedule 4.  First reason Section 9 [2] [e]  "state that the creditor does not know both the name of the driver and a current address for service for the driver and invite the keeper—(i)to pay the unpaid parking charges;" Second Reason Section 9 [2][a] "specify the vehicle, the relevant land on which it was parked and the period of parking to which the notice relates;" All your PCN does is mark the time you entered and left the car park. It does not include all the myriad things you do in between-driving into the car park, looking for a parking space-perhaps a disabled space or  parent and Child place@ getting the children or disabled person out of the car then going shopping. Coming back; loading the car with shopping [, getting the children or disabled into the car, taking the trolley back to the store; driving to the exit perhaps stopping to let vehicles/pedestrians cross in front of you etc. so subtracting the driving times from before and after parking can make quite a difference from their time to the actual period parking time. So the upshot is now that only the driver is responsible for paying the PCN and the keeper is not liable at all even if the name of the driver is never known by Nexus so well done for not appealing. You obviously want to keep it that way to make it very difficult for them to win in Court if it ever goes that far. Although your question is now moot since  the same objective has been achieved by the non compliant PCN [ie no keeper liability] just  about the only way to dispute the timing of the PCN would be if one kept the envelope and there was a discernible date stamp on it that did not match the date on the PCN. There is a new Act coming out [and it cannot come quickly enough ] and one of the things required is that parking companies will have to prove the date of sending out their PCNs. We are not the only ones who sometimes doubt the veracity of their dates particularly as the later it is sent [unlawfully] the shorter the period motorists have to benefit [?] from the reduced payment. I haven't seen it on your posts but do you know how long you are permitted to park for free?
    • I was so annoyed and frustrated about the fact this case was lost it's been floating around my head all night. Dave962, are you sure that's what the Judge said? .... It doesn't make sense. Did the judge in fact dismiss the case on the grounds that the defendant did not make an appeal within 28 days? Effectively telling the PPC about the error entering the registration number and providing proof of payment at that time? To me, that's an important point.

    • 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.

Hi there

 

Just needed some advice re: the above.

 

This was originally an unauthorised overdraft from Abbey that I was paying off bit by bit

 

Abbey forwarded it to 1st Credit.

 

I sent the CCA letter to 1st credit and in response

they sent me a statement but not a signed agreement.

 

Sent them the account in dispute letter and was sent the attached response.

 

Just want to know what do I do with this?

 

What does it mean?

 

Let me know

Overdrafts are not completely covered by CCA they are exempt from part V of the act which refers to the form and content of an agreement. You will only be able to get a statement of account via a cca request.

Hi,

 

Now, Worst Credit don't seem to understand what they are doing as you CCA'd them for an overdraft

which isn't generally covered by the CCA 1974 (part v exemption)

and then they say they have put the account on hold because they can't provide the agreement:confused:

 

All they should have needed was a little info from Shabby to enforce this debt unless Abbey have totally screwed up and don't have this info.

 

Anyhoo, while they have their heads up their ar*e I would sit back and relax but

don't be surprised if this pops up again once they realise their error or they flog it on to some other lowlife.

I had an Abbey Overdraft when I had my financial problems.

The (overdraft) debt was sold to a DCA.

 

DCA eventually contacted me for the debt.

 

I then cca'd the DCA (I was aware about the cca exemption, but I cca'd them anyway)

 

DCA after a few months sent me a copy of the application form used to

open the A.N. bank account.

I noticed on the application form that the option for overdraft had been ticked as 'no'.

 

I therefore wrote to the DCA (amended a template to use for my particular case) telling them that I never had an overdraft for that account. If they look at the application form they'll see that option for overdraft is ticked as 'no'

Also, if there was an overdraft for that account, I want to see the letter with terms etc that Abbey would have provided me - and besides when the account was closed the balance was zero (tbh I hadn't a clue what the balance was when the account was closed).

 

The DCA after a few more months (by this time the account had been closed for nine years) managed to send me a couple of years worth of my bank statements - however all on blank A4 paper (that anyone could have typed).

And the balance WAS ACTUALLY showing as zero :) with the final transaction showing the actual balance being transferred to ANPF (Abbey National Personal Finance).

 

So I then wrote to the DCA stating, "I told you so" :) the balance of the account when closed was zero - plus they still haven't provided anything in writing from Abbey saying that I indeed had an overdraft.

 

I haven't heard from that particular DCA in almost a year now.

They will put it on hold then come back and say there does not need to be an agreement for an overdraft because of the part v yada yada so pay up

 

At which point you tell them that actually yes there does have to be an agreement since an overdraft is covered under section 10 of the cca. However, if the oc had a part v exemption (technically they have to prove this) then the agreement does not have to be in the prescribed format in part v BUT it does still have to exist.

 

As helen said above, without any paperwork they are just some bloke saying 'you owe us money'

technically it is perfectly correct to cca for an overdraft in the first instance. It is for them to prove part v exemption not for you to assume and THEN they still have to come up with an agreement (usually a letter stating apr limit etc which must have been sent within 30 days of you agreeing the od with the oc) and compliant DN

 

I'm struggling to know what all the fuss is about

 

the letter is a final response

which says we cannot enforce goodbye,

which you put somewhere safe and forget about them

 

Never converse with the reigate rabble unless you really have to - for one thing the never answer your questions

 

, just send a load of drivel..

 

Think I might get my son to do them a letter next time,

 

he's 6 so he should have a lot in common with them

Hi all,

 

Well, left Abbey and a £2.5k overdraft around 3-4 years ago.

 

They keep sending the debt to various debt collection agencies and adding more money on

but the upshot is that I only want to deal with Abbey and not the debt agencies.

 

They have now passed it to Moorcroft and

I have sent them a CCA to which they have responded that although they can't provide a copy of the agreement

it means that I'm still liable and that I have 14 days to contact them.

 

I sent them the account in dispute letter and then I think they sent me a letter from a company called 'Midas Legal Services' or something

about saying that they were going to get legal on my derriere...

 

I sent them a letter that said the debt has not been acknowledged and that I should not have to remind solicitors la la la..

. and now they have sent me the home collections letter which I have attached.

 

What do I do now...

Can they clamp my car?

Do they have the same rights as bailiffs.

I've just got rid of the bailiffs!

 

please help.

the debt has been returned to Santander and

they have sent me a transaction statement summary this morning

showing an opening balance of 2470.56.

 

There is a small note on it about Dispute Resolution

and a separate note about understanding your statement

 

There is a FAQs 'What is a transaction summary statement?

It shows a list of transactions on you account and how much is owed.

 

Any recent transactions

including costs associated with taking legal proceedings against you may not be shown'

 

There is all sorts of stuff about Transfer to Debt Purchaser? and assigning the amount to a third party company

and what happens if they have sold my account to a third party..

 

Can you tell me what they plan to do now if I decide not to pay or can I offer them a minimum amount?

 

I'm already with the CCCS and I'm paying £1 to all unsecured creditors.

 

What can they do to me now?

 

What's the worst they could do?

 

thanks

Also when was the last payment made on the account?

 

I stopped using the account over 3 years ago when I opened a new account with Lloyds tsb,

 

 

I was paying them, something like £5 per month but then they sent it to a DCA without telling me

and then I spent most of the last two years trying to get the DCA to send it back to Santander,

it started off with 1st Credit and then Moorcroft.

 

 

The amount has increased slightly

3 years ago I did claim my bank charges back and I got back £800

(which is a fraction of what they have had out of me over the years!)

I see. Yeah they are buggers for passing accounts on to DCA without telling you. Anyway, i bet the DCA has added charges and santander may well have added additional charges since you reclaimed. So you can always reclaim those and any interest added to the account.

 

Basically the Sharpe V Bank of Scotland will be a very exciting case to watch, as the outcome of that may open the flood gates to reclaiming all bank charges back. I wouldn't rely on any full and final settlement preventing you from reclaiming the rest either as cashing the cheque is an incorrect view of acceptence of the full and final, so if your intention was to accept more than what they offered in the full and final, you may still be able to reclaim the rest.
