    • Hi welcome to the Forum.  If a PCN is sent out late ie after the 12th day of the alleged offence, the charge cannot then be transferred from the driver to the keeper.T he PCN is deemed to have arrived two days after dispatch so in your case, unless you can prove that Nexus sent the PCN several days after they claim you have very little chance of winning that argument. All is not lost since the majority of PCNs sent out are very poorly worded so that yet again the keeper is not liable to pay the charge, only the driver is now liable. If you post up the PCN, front and back we will be able to confirm whether it is compliant or not. Even if it is ok, there are lots of other reasons why it is not necessary to pay those rogues. 
    • Hi 1 Date of the infringement  arr 28/03/24 21:00, dep 29/03/24 01.27 2 Date on the NTK  08/04/2024 (Date of Issue) 3 Date received Monday 15/04/24 4 Does the NTK mention schedule 4 of The Protections of Freedoms Act 2012?  Yes 5 Is there any photographic evidence of the event? Yes 6 Have you appealed? [Y/N?] post up your appeal] No  7 Who is the parking company? GroupNexus 8. Where exactly [carpark name and town] Petrol Station Roadchef Tibshelf South DE55 5T 'operating in accordance with the BPA's Code of Practice' I received a Parking Charge letter to keeper on Monday 15/04/24, the 17th day after the alleged incident. My understanding is that this is outside the window for notifying. The issue date was 08/04/2024 which should have been in good time for it to have arrived within the notice period but in fact it actually arrived at lunchtime on the 15th. Do I have to prove when it arrived  (and if so how can I do that?) or is the onus on them to prove it was delivered in time? All I can find is that delivery is assumed to be on the second working day after issue which would have been Weds 10//04/24 but it was actually delivered 5 days later than that (thank you Royal Mail!). My husband was present when it arrived - is a family member witness considered sufficient proof?
    • lookinforinfo - many thanks for your reply. It would be very interesting to get the letter of discontinuance. The court receptionist said that the county court was in Gloucester 'today' so that makes me think that some days it is in Gloucester and some days its in Cheltenham, it was maybe changed by the courts and i was never informed, who knows if DCBL were or not. My costs were a gallon of petrol and £3.40 for parking. I certainly don't want to end up in court again that's for sure but never say never lol. Its utterly disgusting the way these crooks can legally treat motorists but that's the uk for you. I'm originally from Scotland so it's good that they are not enforceable there but they certainly still try to get money out of you. I have to admit i have lost count of the pcn's i have received in the last 2 yr and 4 months since coming to England for work, most of them stop bothering you on their own eventually, it was just this one that they took it all the way. Like i mentioned in my WS the the likes of Aldi and other companies can get them cancelled but Mcdonalds refused to help me despite me being a very good customer.   brassednecked - many thanks   honeybee - many thanks   nicky boy - many thanks    
    • Huh? This is nothing about paying just for what I use - I currently prefer the averaged monthly payment - else i wouldn't be in credit month after month - which I am comfortable with - else I wold simply request a part refund - which I  would have done if they hadn't reduced my monthly dd after the complaint I raised (handled slowly and rather badly) highlighted the errors in their systems (one of which they do seem to have fixed) Are you not aware DD is always potentially variable? ah well, look it up - but my deal is a supposed to average the payments over a year, and i dont expect them to change payments (up or down) without my informed agreement ESPECIALLY when I'm in credit over winter.   You are happy with your smart meter - jolly for you I dont want one, dont have to have one  - so wont   I have a box that tells me my electricity usage - was free donkeys years ago and shows me everything I need to know just like a smart meter but doesnt need a smart meter,  and i can manually set my charges - so as a side effect - would show me if the charges from the supplier were mismatched. Doesn't tell me if the meters actually calibrated correctly - but neither does your smart meter. That all relies on a label and the competence of the testers - and the competence of any remote fiddling with the settings. You seem happy with that - thats fine. I'm not.

    • 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 had a loan with CFO Lending/Capital Finance One.

 

I ended up paying a huge amount in charges. Has anyone successfully reclaimed charges from these guys.

 

They have sent me a statement of account so I know how much the charges I paid were. A summary of my account with them is below

 

 

Thank you for your email. Please find attached a statement of your account for your reference.

 

Having looked through your account I can confirm you first took out a loan with CFO Lending for the amount of £200.00 with interest of £78.00, making the total amount payable £278.00. You agreed to repay this amount back in full on 29th June 2012. At your request, on this date we collected the minimum of your interest payment and your loan was deferred. Making your interest payment did not reduce your outstanding balance but covered the cost of borrowing for a further month. Your loan was then due for repayment on the 31st July 2012.

 

On the 3rd July 2012 before your loan was due for repayment, you chose to refinance your loan for a further £400.00. This amount was added to your Principle loan amount of £200.00 and interest was calculated on the total. You agreed to pay the amount of £834.00 back in full on 31st July 2012. On this date we failed to receive payment as agreed and as per your contract your account fell into default and collections procedures were in place in an attempt to collect full amount of funds owed under this agreement.

 

As per your contract a £25.00 administration fee was applied to your account for falling into default. Added interest would then have been applied at a rate of 1.3% of your principal loan amount daily.

 

Through collections procedures we collected the amount of £234.00, as you had not requested for your account to be deferred, your account remained in default and continued to incurred added interest and charges as per your contract. On the 2nd August 2015, the business received a text message from you requesting to set up a deferral payment. You were advised that as the we had collected your administration fee payment along with a payment that matched your interest amount we will be happy to defer your loan until the 31st August 2012.

 

On the 31st August 2012 we again failed to receive payment as agreed and your account fell back into default and incurred added interest and charges as per your contract. As per your contract a £25.00 administration fee was applied to your account for falling into default. Added Interest was then applied at a rate of 1.3% of your principle loan amount for a maximum period of 90days.With all the added interest and charges applied to your account your outstanding balance was brought to £1410.40.

 

To date we have received payments totalling £1410.40 leaving a current outstanding balance of £0.00.

 

CFO Lending can confirm your account with the business is settled in full and closed.

 

Should you have any further queries regarding your account please do not hesitate to contact us.

Since they are unlawful penalty charges, you can SAR them if you dont have all the statements, and put in a claim for them at their interest rate. IF they refuse to allow the claim, then you take them to SCC.

Any advice i give is my own and is based solely on personal experience. If in any doubt about a situation , please contact a certified legal representative or debt counsellor..

I have a statement of accounts from them with dates. I assume I will need to do some form of complaint letter and calculations.

 

They also took £15 off each of the loan amounts for faster payment

Hi madmatt101,

 

New to this!

 

How have you managed to get in contact with CFO? I am trying to write to them about my old loans but all e-mail addresses I have are no longer working... their websites are closed too, etc.

 

Any info you can provide regarding contacting them would be great.

 

Thanks

 

Luke

Hi DX

 

I have filled in the sheet and I think I must have done something wrong

 

It tells me that I am claiming for over £158million for interest on charges of £541

 

It would be nice to get that, however I cant quite see that being paid out, and going through the courts could be expensive ;)

To update all the readers of this thread.

I have sent a formal letter of complaint.

 

I noticed that there were no further interest charges on my account so I used the satint sheet.

 

I will see what they come back with and post up an update.

I know the £56 says default

But I don't think they are reclaimable

Just the £25 ones

 

So seems correct for £74?

Trying to get hold of this lot myself, ended up paying back almost 700 for a 358 loan and all the MT collect threat nonsense years ago claiming I still owe them. Is the one in this thread the best to use or the customerservices at cfolending one? Or are they both the same?

Just an update on my case, I asked CFO Lending to refund all interest and charges on all of my old loans due to irresponsible lending. They declined my claim so I took it to the Financial Ombudsman Service. They ruled in my favor and I received a refund of approx £740 (including £50 compensation).

 

I would't take any other lower offers offered directly by CFO, if you refer to the FOS, you will most likely be able to claim back all interest and charges. I had a strong case and supplied a copy of my credit report at the time of each loan... this showed I should not have been approved and the proper affordability checks were not carried out. Worth perusing.
