    • One other point to note, the more I read, the more I study, the more proficient I feel I am becoming in this area. Make no mistake DBCL if you are reading this, when I win in court, if I have the grounds to make any claims against you, such as breach of GDPR, I shall be doing so.
    • Yep, I read that and thought about trying to find out what the consideration and grace period is at Riverside but not sure I can. I know they say "You must tell us the specific consideration/grace period at a site if our compliance team or our agents ask what it is"  but I doubt they would disclose it to the public, maybe I should have asked in my CPR 31.14 letter? Yes, I think I can get rid of 5 minutes. I am also going to include a point about BPA CoP: 13.2 The reference to a consideration period in 13.1 shall not apply where a parking event takes place. I think that is Deception .... They giveth with one hand and taketh away with the other!

    • the Town and Country [advertisments ] Regulations 2007 are not easy to understand. Most Council planing officials don't so it's good that you found one who knows. Although he may not have been right if the rogues have not been "controlling" in the car park for that long. The time only starts when the ANPR signs go up, not how long the area has been used as a car park.   Sadly I have checked Highview out and they have been there since at least 2014 . I have looked at the BPA Code of Practice version 8 which covers 2023 and that states Re Consideration and Grace Periods 13.3 Where a parking location is one where a limited period of parking is permitted, or where drivers contract to park for a defined period and pay for that service in advance (Pay & Display), this would be considered as a parking event and a Grace Period of at least 10 minutes must be added to the end of a parking event before you issue a PCN. It then goes on to explain a bit more further down 13.5 You must tell us the specific consideration/grace period at a site if our compliance team or our agents ask what it is. 13.6 Neither a consideration period or a grace period are periods of free parking and there is no requirement for you to offer an additional allowance on top of a consideration or grace period. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________So you have  now only overstayed 5 minutes maximum since BPA quote a minimum of 10 minutes. And it may be that the Riverside does have a longer period perhaps because of the size of the car park? So it becomes even more incumbent on you to remember where the extra 5 minutes could be.  Were you travelling as a family with children or a disabled person where getting them in and out of the car would take longer. Was there difficulty finding a space, or having to queue to get out of the car park . Or anything else that could account for another 5 minutes  without having to claim the difference between the ANPR times and the actual times.

    • 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 I received a claim from Howard Cohen on behalf of Hoist Portfolio regarding a old HSBC overdraft. I am now quite far into defending the claim after having read lots of forums!

 

I have sent a CPR 31.14 request to Hoist Portfolio and submitted a defence. I am now at the stage where I have sent back the DQ and agreed to mediation and waiting to hear back. I have received nothing from Hoist portfolio as of yet and was hoping they would have discontinued the claim by now but no such luck.

 

I'm really worried as I read somewhere that they can stump up the documents at anytime literally a day before going to court or on the day of court and I really wanted to avoid ending up in court. Do they actually do this and how is this fair?

 

Any help/thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

WHy did you agree to mediation without seeing if they can actually enforce the debt first? They also wont Discontinue the claim because they exist purely to intimidate an alleged debtor, get a judgement or Judgement by default and get money from you.

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..

Name of the Claimant ? Hoist Portfolio

 

Date of issue – 15 March

 

What is the claim for – the reason they have issued the claim?

 

 

1. Claim in respect of monies owing persuant to an overdraft facility.

Debt was legally assigned by MKDP LLP (Ex HSBC) to the claimant and notice has been served.

The Defendant has failed to repay sums owing under the terms and conditions of the bank account.

 

What is the value of the claim? £500

 

Is the claim for - a Bank Account (Overdraft) or credit card or loan or catalogue or mobile phone account? Overdraft

 

When did you enter into the original agreement before or after 2007? After

 

Has the claim been issued by the original creditor or was the account assigned and it is the Debt purchaser who has issued the claim - hoist

 

Were you aware the account had been assigned – did you receive a Notice of Assignment? Can't be sure

 

Did you receive a Default Notice from the original creditor? Again can't be sure so long ago I can't remember

 

Have you been receiving statutory notices headed “Notice of Default sums” – at least once a year ? No

 

Why did you cease payments? Couldn't afford to pay the overdraft

 

What was the date of your last payment? Not sure maybe around 2009

 

Was there a dispute with the original creditor that remains unresolved? No

 

Did you communicate any financial problems to the original creditor and make any attempt to enter into a debt management planicon? No

 

Here is a copy of my defence I sent to Hoist:

 

1: I received the claim xxxxxx from the County Court Business Centre on xxxxx.

 

2: Each and every allegation in the Claimants statement of case is denied unless specifically admitted in this Defence.

 

3: This claim is for an overdraft facility agreement.

 

4: The Claimants statement of case fails to give adequate information to enable me to properly assess my position with regards to the claim.

 

5. The Claimants statement of case states that the account was assigned from MKDP LLP (Ex HSBC) to Hoist Portfolio Holdings 2 LTD on xxxxx. The Defendant does not recall receiving notice of this assignment.

 

6: On the xxxxxx I sent a request for inspection of documents mentioned in the claimants statement of case under Civil Procedure Rule 31.14 to Howard Cohen and Co. I requested the Claimant provide copies of the Notice of Assignment.

 

7. Howard Cohen and Co has not sent any of these documents to me.

 

8: I have asked the Claimant if we may agree to extend the time period allowed for filing of my defence pending receipt of documents (as allowed under CPR 15.5), but they have failed to respond.

 

9. Under Civil Procedure Rule 16.5 (4) Where the claim includes a money claim, a defendant shall be taken to require that any allegation relating to the amount of money claimed be proved unless he expressly admits the allegation. Therefore, it is expected that the Claimant be required to prove the allegation that the money is owed as claimed.

 

10.The Claimants statement of case fails to give adequate details of the agreement including the terms and conditions owing under the overdraft facility.

 

11. I request the court orders the Claimants to provide the necessary documentation in order for me to fully plead my case else the Claim should stand struck out.

 

12. In the event that the relevant documents are received from the Claimants I will then be in a position to amend my defence, and would ask that the Claimants bear the costs of the amendment.

 

13. It is denied that the Claimant is entitled to the relief as claimed or at all.

 

Statement of Truth

 

The Defendant believes that the facts stated in this Defence are true.

 

I just read that you should say yes to mediation as it shows a willingness to resolve the claim, but yes I get your point there is no claim if they can't prove it.

That's why I've come on this forum, I've read so much is all getting a bit confusing.

Sorry about the defence just copied a template!

 

I was thinking it might be statute barred but found a receipt for a payment to MK rapid recoveries in 2012.

I sent a copy to the court but not to Cohen should I send one of now i sent to court about a week ago?

 

And no I just filed it online via MCOL?

Would a SAR to HSBC be useful or just a phonecall suffice?
