    • How much of the documentation have you seen from when probate was obtained? And do you have a copy of the original will? I can't remember. My thought about you making the decision on your own to go with another lawyer is that three of you are meant to be beneficiaries of this will trust, aren't you? Normally you would need to act together. HB

    • Hi guys, I am about to file my defence via email as cannot log in to the claim anymore.  Can you please advise if I can paste below and if it's good to go for now, or should I add anything else in?  Thanks!  The Defendant contends that the particulars of claim are vague and generic in nature which fails to comply with CPR 16.4.  The Defendant accordingly sets out its case below and relies on CPR r 16.5 (3) in relation to any particular allegation to which a specific response has not been made.  1.  The Defendant is the recorded keeper of vehicle xxxx xxx.  2.  It is denied that the Defendant entered into a contract with the Claimant - Parking Eye LTD.  3.  As held by the Upper Tax Tribunal in Vehicle Control Services Limited v HMRC [2012] UKUT 129 (TCC), any contract requires offer and acceptance.  The Claimant was simply contracted by the landowner to provide car-park management services and is not capable of entering into a contract with the Defendant on its own account, as the car park is owned by and the terms of entry set by the landowner.  Accordingly, it is denied that the Claimant has authority to bring this claim.   4.  In any case it is denied that the Defendant broke the terms of a contract with the Claimant.  5.  The Claimant is attempting double recovery by adding an additional sum not included in the original offer.   6.  The Particulars of Claim is denied in its entirety.  It is denied that the Claimant is entitled to the relief claimed or any relief at all.

    • Ooops - one to many also s..... my draft reply should read as:  Thank you for your response Mr Schnur  I set out my position quite clearly in my letter of claim and nothing has changed. Your insurance requirement is unlawful and is contrary to section 57 of the Consumer Rights Act, and also section 72 of the same statute. I would also refer you to the outcomes in PENCHEV v P2G (225MC852) and SMIRNOVS v P2G (27MC729).  My deadline for action - 1 May 2024 - still stands, and if P2G wish to avoid the addition of court costs and interest to my claim, you may wish to respond positively before that date.

    • 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 All

 

first time on her so please forgive my mistakes (if any :|)

 

2011 due to marriage breakdown I had to move asap and leaving everything behind I needed a car. Long story short I went to carcraft, had bad credit but they told me if I had a "pensioner" who owned own home it was guaranteed finance. My dad was 71 partially blind and deaf but owned his home so (after 3/4 hours) finance was sorted out. I told them that dad had no driving licence (he has never had one) and the car was for me and they said no probs got dad to sign finance etc and my details for car. When registration docs came through car was registered in DADS name!!. contacted carcraft and they said normal procedure but just get it transferred into my name!!! Anyway eventually did and I transferred the monthly payments from my account to dads account as creation refused to transfer as finance was in dads name (understandable) Sadly my dad died on Christmas eve so I contacted Creation to advise and they registered death and said they did not do PPI so was I going to return car? Informed them that dad had no Estate assets and sent copy death certificate and not heard anything from them. Dad took equity release on his house before car was bought so after debts paid there are no funds left to pay off finance. I still have car and cannot get finance to pay off loan so not sure what to do now

Hi welcome to CAG,

 

 

Has your fathers house been sold by the equity release company?

Not yet, we are in the process of getting valuations done. The car was financed over 4 years in early 2011 and payments were made up to March this year. The agreement was not a HP agreemint so I was really surprise when I was told there was no PPI as my dad was 71 when he took out the loan !

How much is outstanding on the finance?

I don't think your late father would have qualified for PPI.

I don't know, I have contacted creation finance a few times. First time they wouldn't speak to me until I sent death certificate and when I did and tried to speak to them again the representative didn't have a clue what would happen he just kept saying are you ringing to arrange to return the vehicle so I gave up and wrote to them asking for a redemption figure. This was in January but have not had anything back from them apart from acknowledgement of death certificate.

If the car finance was a fixed-sum loan they cannot expect the vehicle back as the money was not secured on it. They would need to make a claim from the estate like anyone else - if there is no money left in the estate they'll have to move on.

Typical Creation anything out of their routine completely phases them!

 

 

I would suggest a Formal Complaint now, address it to Jaques Darrigade Director, use signed for post.

I don't think you'll get anywhere with customer (dis) service.

If you need help please let me know.

Which is why Creation has gone quiet.

Hi all by way of update I wrote to Creation on 26th August 2014 and have still had no reply.

 

 

Should I just leave it? Also if they do not intend to proceed will I have difficulty if I ever want to sell the car, will it show as having o/s credit against it ?
