    • Ok you are in the clear. The PCN does not comply with the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012 Schedule 4 for two reasons. The first is that in Section 9 [2][e]  says the PCN must "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 ". It does not say that even though it continues correctly with blurb about the driver. The other fault is that there is no parking period mentioned. Their ANPR cameras do show your arrival and departure times but as that at the very least includes driving from the entrance to the parking space then later leaving the parking space and driving to the exit. It also doesn't allow for finding a parking spot: manoeuvering into it avoiding parking on the lines: possibly having to stop to allow pedestrians/other cars to pass in front of you; returning the trolley after finishing shopping; loading children disabled people in and out of the car, etc etc.  All of that could easily add five, ten or even 15 minutes to your time which the ANPR cameras cannot take into account. So even if it was only two hours free time you could  still have been within the  time since there is a MINIMUM of 15 minutes Grace period when you leave the car park. However as they cannot even manage to get their PCN to comply with the Act you as keeper cannot be pursued. Only the driver is now liable and they do not know who was driving as you have not appealed and perhaps unwittingly given away who was driving. So you do not owe them a penny. No need to appeal. Let them waste their money pursuing you . 
    • If Labour are elected I hope they go after everyone who made huge amounts of money out of this, by loading the company with debt. The sad thing is that some pension schemes, including the universities one, USS, will lose money along with customers.
    • What's the reason for not wanting a smart meter? Personally I'm saving a pile on a tariff only available with one. Today electricity is 17.17p/kWh. If the meter is truly past its certification date the supplier is obliged to replace it. If you refuse to allow this then eventually they'll get warrant and do so by force. Certified life varies between models and generations, some only 10 or 15 years, some older types as long as 40 years or maybe even more. Your meter should have its certified start date marked somewhere so if you doubt the supplier you can look up the certified life and cross check.
    • No I'm not. Even if I was then comments on this forum wouldn't constitute legal advice in the formal sense. Now you've engaged a lawyer directly can I just make couple of final suggestions? Firstly make sure he is fully aware of the facts. And don't mix and match by taking his advice on one aspect while ploughing your own furrow on others.  Let us know how you get on now you have a solicitor acting for you.

    • 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.

Thanks so much Sir.

 

Thing is today I received some statements from Studio

the date my account started was 1/01/92 but no entry's from that time

 

first entry is 18/01/12 so ten years statements missing

also even though Studio have cashed my cheque

no credit contract

not surprised because I've never seen or signed one

 

do I ring Studio n ask for missing statements and contract or just give them time as yet nothing from Fashion world.

 

Early days any thoughts please would be very welcome

 

Really would like advice to know if I should phone Studio for missing statements

n how far back can I claim for

 

also do I claim the £20 sometimes £12 for default late payments

or should I just sit tight it was only ten days since I sent the SARS out thanks

 

just like to say Hello to everyone the main thing that brought me here is Catalogue charges n claiming them back

 

didn't even know they was so bad as my wife normally looks after them

didn't know like when she makes a £50 payment to them £38 is put back on in charges

n because in disabled n on benefit really struggling to pay them off

 

so going to try n claim them back your thoughts would be very welcome

 

Thanks Mike

Hi yes that's righting

 

sent the two catalogues a request for copy of my credit agreement enclosing £1 cheque and for all my statements

so I can add up charges this has been going on ten years

 

I need to claim these charges back

yesterday I received 3 years statements from Studio

some missing my account from Studio started on1/01/92.

 

The first entry off the statement they sent me is 1/01/12.

some missing no credit agreement has been sent although they have cashed my £1 cheque

there can't be a credit agreement because I've never seen one or signed anything .

 

Nothing as yet from the second catalogue I sent a request to Fashion World

but warily days do I ring Studio n ask for the missing statements

 

With Studio it's all service charges plus default charges

just in the 3 years statements Studio have sent me the charges add up to £748 that with out the default charges .

 

I have been to Hull CAB and was told they are allowed to charge for myself missing a payment £12

then again if the minimum payment wasn't bounced up by service charges I proberly would have paid it

 

 

thank dx100uk

a cca wont get you historic statements

an SAR will.

 

 

the £12 charge or any PENALTY fee are unlawful under FCA guidelines and the ruling they made in 2006

 

 

had a read of a few cat reclaiming threads in the forum you are in.

I see what your saying

 

 

can I ring Studio and ask for the remaining statements

they won't have a contract for me as I haven't Signed one

but they have cashed my cheque

 

 

I only sent the request on 17/ 11/15 so early days I've gave them both 40 days to respond as advised by CAB thanks dx100uk. Mike

doesn't matter what you said

legally they have 12+2 working days to respond with an enforceable agreement

if they fail that

don't write

simply invites letter tennis

 

 

though you can if you wish cease payments

Since they have failed to provide your agreement then it will be much harder for them to enforce at Court. Especially since the agreements were pre 2007.

 

Don't start letter tennis, but keep an eye on your credit file in case they try to get a CCJ by default.also don't ring them unless you are recording the calls.

 

Just sit back and wait to see what they respond with ok?

 

When was the last time you checked your credit file?

If I have been of any help, please click on my star and leave a note to let me know, thank you.

Credit file I've never checked my credit file

 

 

maybe I should just pay the charges because I wouldn't know how to and being on disablement benefits I couldn't take them to court

take us all the time to pay our bills

 

 

well I have a car on moterbilty so my credit should be ok

 

 

maybe this is why CAB advices about the financial Ombudsman

 

 

thanks dx Mike

As I say dx don't feel right giving details away plus incurring extra costs especially in my current financial situation thanks for all your advice Sir but as I only have benefits to play maybe I should not have started this n just pay the charges , can't see why my credit would be not good as I revive loan offers very often also have bank loans no problem getting credit thanks Sir Mike

 

Do the financial Ombudsman charge for there services the CAB seems to think because I'm on benefits (DLA) they are free maybe that would be my best bet thanks for all your help dx I'm not good with matters such as this I was a carpenter before all my troubles thanks Mike
