    • Hmm yes I see your point about proof of postage but nonetheless... "A Notice to Keeper can be served by ordinary post and the Protection of Freedoms Act requires that the Notice, to be valid,  must be delivered either (Where a notice to driver (parking ticket) has been served) Not earlier than 28 days after, nor more than 56 days after, the service of that notice to driver; or (Where no notice to driver has been served (e.g ANPR is used)) Not later than 14 days after the vehicle was parked A notice sent by post is to be presumed, unless the contrary is proved, to have been delivered on the second working day after the day on which it is posted; and for this purpose “working day” means any day other than a Saturday, Sunday or a public holiday in England and Wales." My question there is really what might constitute proof? Since you say the issue of delivery is a common one I suppose that no satisfactory answer has been established or you would probably have told me.
    • I would stand your ground and go for the interest. Even if the interest is not awarded you will get the judgement and the worst that might happen is that you won't get your claim fee.  However, it is almost inevitable that you will get the interest.  It is correct that it is at the discretion of the judge but the discretion is almost always exercised in favour of the claimant in these cases.  I think you should stand your ground and don't give even the slightest penny away Another judgement against them on this issue would be very bad for them and they would be really stupid to risk it but if they did, it would cost them far more than the interest they are trying to save which they will most likely have to pay anyway
    • Yep, true to form, they are happy to just save a couple of quid... They invariably lose in court, so to them, that's a win. 😅
    • Your concern regarding the 14 days delivery is a common one. Not been on the forum that long, but I don't think the following thought has ever been challenged. My view is that they should have proof of when it was posted, not when they "issued", or printed it. Of course, they would never show any proof of postage, unless it went to court. Private parking companies are simply after money, and will just keep sending ever more threatening letters to intimidate you into paying up. It's not been mentioned yet, but DO NOT APPEAL! You could inadvertently give up useful legal protection and they will refuse any appeal, because they're just after the cash...  
    • The sign says "Parking conditions apply 24/7". Mind you, that's after a huge wall of text. The whole thing is massively confusing.  Goodness knows what you're meant to do if you spend only a fiver in Iceland or you stay a few minutes over the hour there.

    • 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.

Hello

 

I have been posting on the general debt forum, but have been asked to post details on here too - any help would be massively appreciated:

 

 

MyJar - £800

Satsuma - £1000

Wageday Advance - £150

QuickQuid - £400

SafetyNet Credit - £250

Drafty - £280

 

The above are all PDL companies who I have borrowed from recently. Drafty is a RCF with a credit limit of £300 of which I am paying approx £18 per month. Satsuma is a monthly payment of £160 for 12 months commencing at the end of May, My Jar is meant to be paid at the end of April (first payment) of £230 for six months. SafetyNet expects the full amount at the end of this month, WDA is due in three separate instalments, as is QuickQuid.

 

Thank you so much

Hi, I've just been having a nosey on Provident's site and didn't realise that they own Vanquis bank as well - could this be another reason we can use the argument of irresponsible lending given that I owe money to Vanquis, which is on a DMP, or could it be that Satsuma wouldn't necessarily realise this when doing their checks?

 

Will post the info u requested tomorrow

Thanks again

Hi there

 

Thanks as always for the help!

 

I have uploaded all of the PDL info onto a spreadsheet and have saved it as a PDF document. It has gone onto two pages, but sits side by side, if that makes sense?

 

Thanks again

Out of curiosity, why would you think you have a claim for irresponsible lending? From looking at the loans you've had, it seems like you've taken a lot of loans in a very short space of time. You borrowed £1000 from Satsuma just 12 days ago and now you want to claim irresponsible lending?

 

On the 5th April you borrowed £800 from MyJar, then on the 8th April you borrowed £1000 from Satsuma and then on the 9th April you borrowed £150 from Wageday Advance, that's £1950 in 4 days and then 5 days ago you had £250 from SafetyNet Credit - I'm sorry but this is irresponsible borrowing, what on Earth are you doing with all of this money?!

 

Perhaps the only thing that may go in your favour is if you declared all of the outstanding loans at the time you applied and they still lent to you - were you honest on your application forms about your earnings and current loans?

 

I'm sorry it's not what you would want to hear, but personally I don't think you would have a claim at all here - what this looks like is you borrowing a lot of money and trying to get out of paying it back as now you've realised just how much is owed. Just my opinion and of course nothing personal here.

Hi

 

Thank you for your post. In response to your apparent 'enquiry', I didn't approach this site on the basis that I thought I may have a claim for irresponsible lending against these companies and had in fact not even heard of it until some of the kind people on this site mentioned it to me. I approached the site for support - the subject heading was altered by one of the earlier mentioned kind people on the site to signpost them to it when they had chance to look further into it.

 

I appreciate your opinion and agree what it may be viewed as being by an onlooker, but you really are wide of the mark and to be perfectly blunt, I have no desire to go into the whys and wherefores with people who clearly express their views in such a manner. I would never judge anyone on here in this way and really don't think I deserved it. I hope you sleep well knowing how upset you have made me

Let's not be so dramatic, I don't think my post was harsh at all - you won't always hear what you want to, especially on a public forum - this isn't the Samaritans. That said, obviously, I didn't want to upset you and if I did in any way, I apologise.

 

I appreciate that you may not have come here looking at irresponsible lending and that's the site teams fault for changing the title and giving that impression

Hi RH

 

We changed it as the OP had 2 separate issues with A DMP and some Payday Loans.

 

So we decided to separate them out. I appreciate that everyone that's comes here doesn't always realise and yes, it is their responsibility to make sure that they are sound and don't over do it when it comes to debt etc

 

But at the same time the mind is a strange thing and people do weird things when under a lot of pressure.

 

All I would ask in the future is be a little more considerate when writing these sorts of posts ☺️ They come to CAG for help.

 

We could do with some help from you.

Hi

 

Thank you for taking the time to reply, I appreciate the apology and maybe I responded from an emotional angle last night. You are also correct that this is a public forum, but I would just add that to judge and give opinions would be better recieved if all factors were firstly taken into consideration.

 

No hard feelings

 

Take care

Morning Abbieno

 

I cant make heads or tails of what youve sent me im afraid... Even when trying to line them up in Word - it becoms a pain.

Could you please put it on a spreadsheet and then send it to us?

 

Once i get it I can then start getting to work.

 

Although part of what im seeing suggests that there were a lot of loans in a short period.

Oncei can get the full picture of the PDL situation then I can work on this :)

 

We could do with some help from you.
