    • I have just read the smaller print on their signs. It says that you can pay at the end of your parking session. given that you have ten minutes grace period the 35 seconds could easily have been taken up with walking back to your car, switching on the engine and then driving out. Even in my younger days when I used to regularly exceed speed limits, I doubt I could have done that in 35 seconds even when I  had a TR5.

    • Thank you for posting up the results from the sar. The PCN is not compliant with the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012 Schedule 4. Under Section 9 [2][a] they are supposed to specify the parking time. the photographs show your car in motion both entering and leaving the car park thus not parking. If you have to do a Witness Statement later should they finally take you to Court you will have to continue to state that even though you stayed there for several hours in a small car park and the difference between the ANPR times and the actual parking period may only be a matter of a few minutes  nevertheless the CEL have failed to comply with the Act by failing to specify the parking period. However it looks as if your appeal revealed you were the driver the deficient PCN will not help you as the driver. I suspect that it may have been an appeal from the pub that meant that CEL offered you partly a way out  by allowing you to claim you had made an error in registering your vehicle reg. number . This enabled them to reduce the charge to £20 despite them acknowledging that you hadn't registered at all. We have not seen the signs in the car park yet so we do not what is said on them and all the signs say the same thing. It would be unusual for a pub to have  a Permit Holders Only sign which may discourage casual motorists from stopping there. But if that is the sign then as it prohibits any one who doesn't have a permit, then it cannot form a contract with motorists though it may depend on how the signs are worded.

    • 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.

Well fairly rapid reply from the Crudders this time, however it appears to be just more waffle aimed at confusing the matter further.

 

1crudjuly09.jpg

 

Now they again are still insistant that the account is NOT in dispute on the grounds of the copy documents and they have fulfilled their obligations.

 

They yet again say I have been supplied with 'a copy of the executed agreement' (but I haven't, only an application form containing non of the requied terms)

 

Terms and conditions (yes, a seperate sheet, that may or may not be relevant to the time of application)

 

and a statement signed by 1st Credit showing according to the information to which is practical for us to refer (which is as clear as mud, so don't know what the hell their talking about here, but would presume it was their last letter

 

crudedit1.jpg

crudedit2.jpg

 

Finally they are prepared to put the matter to a judge to make a decision.

MMMM, will they, won't they.

 

Is it best to wait and see if they show their teeth or get some form of reply off to them.

 

I sent the a CPR request in Nov 08 when they suggested they were to initiate legal action, but received no response whatsoever. Needless to say they didn't initiate anything and got CONoughts, Judge Preistley and later Muckys on the case. After complaining to the OFT and TS they recalled the account from Muckys and have started collection attemps themselves again.

 

Your comments would be most welcome.

Cheers

Alf

Look at it simply Alf. If the Reigate renegades were so sure of their case why would they have passed it to the likes of Muck Hall who are at the bottom of the DCA Dungheap. If their case was a good as they are pretending it is then they would have gone down the Legal route by now.

 

Ms Allingham is a best being selective and economical with the truth and is twisting the rules to suit their point of view. At worst she his deliberately trying to deceive you.

As they said in their letter that they are prepared to let a judge decide I would have thought that was sufficient evidence, should it come to court, that legal action was being considered. Therefore, in order to save the court's time etc. you should send them a disclosure request specifying exactly what documents you require but as part of that request stating that you already hold a copy of an application form and a copy of BC's Ts&Cs but specifically want a copy of a signed credit agreement.

 

They, quite clearly, can only produce the application form and Ts&Cs. Once you've had their reply proceed to court, as you have done pretty much everything humanly possible.

 

However, I'm not sure whether you should do this to 1st Credit or Barclaycard. I'd like to see 1st Credit stuffed but they are only one of the outfits BC uses. I got my paperwork from BC - although, bizarrely, I didn't ask them for it :confused: (I got it by threatening the latest DCA with joining them to a complaint against BC with the Ombudsman.)

As I said before I sent them a CPR request in Nov 08 when they last indicated legal action would be taken, but received no response whatsoever. So the outcome of another request would probably bring no results, but will give it a go.

 

If they say they have complied with the CCA (which incidentaly was never sent to them in the first place, it was sent to RMA, who were chasing it at the time, some 12 month prior to 1st Credit alleged purchase) on what grounds is the account disputed on?

 

This companies rearly does my head in.

A most interesting credit report this month (Sept 09)

First crudit have had a default registered on there since 5th April 2007, which is rather odd since they had not even been assigned it at that date.

However, there is a strange entry this month regarding the opening balance and the life time change.

They are the same amount?

No details of date account opened anymore or who the lender was?

Have they written it off?

I had a similar experience so - I wrote to each successive 'debt collector' explaining that I had written to the original debtor (and the subsequent DCAs, which I listed) disputing the debt and that, as court action had been threatened I had requested certain documents from them. These had not been forthcoming.

 

Therefore, I required proof, in writing, from the DCA that they had now assumed the debt and if so, that they were now in a position to release to me the documents I required. Further, if they did not reply within 14 days I would add their name to a complaint I would be making to the Ombudsman and I would cite not only the DCA company but all individual directors thereof plus the person named on the letter they had just sent me. I also asked them to supply a written copy of their formal complaints procedure as required by the FSA.

 

I included the normal paragraph about doorstep collectors being trespassers, uninvited etc. and added that should anyone attend the premises that the DCA would agree to pay a fee of £250 for inconvenience caused by such a call. If a call was made by either one of their employees or an agent acting on their behalf that would be deemed acceptance of the charge. I sent it recorded delivery.

 

Amazingly enough they dropped out.:) I have the feeling that I've now exhausted all the debt collectors. But, if I haven't, I'm prepared to carry on.

I like this letter/e-mail they've sent out. We could use itto respond to cretins like debt collectors. It could ask for directors details and an assuarnce that any complaint filed subsequently would be dealt with by said director.

 

Their failure to provide all of the required information will result in the authorisation not being accepted.

Dear Cretins

 

You may have exceeded the requirements of the various acts you quote by sending me an exact copy of what I allegedly signed but without ALL the Prescribed Terms it is still UNENFORCEABLE through the courts.

Well they are correct in that they sent me 'an exact copy' problem is; it is a copy of an application form and although it is signed by me contains non of the prescribed terms. So ball is in their court now, or not as the case might be.

Just notice something on this lastest letter.

The 1st Credit Ref number is not the same as the ref number that has been on all thier other letters and is not the one I quoted in my letter either, so changed it for some reason or sent me someone elses reply.

Nothing would supprise me with this lot

Thought the silence from Barclayshark was too good to be true.

This moring a reply to my letter of 03 Dec 07.

Barclaycard20march.jpg

Now what they have sent it just another copy of what is in post#77, as Paul politly put it "A silly application form"

However this time there is a photo copy of some terms and condition relating I presume to the time it was taken out. These are in A3 format but there is know way of knowing if these were ever incorporated to the application form as they are implying. They still say they are enclosing a signed opening application form? and a copy of the executed credit agreement in the prescibed form? Where is is then. I see the same application form and a set of seperate T & C's?

CopyCCA.jpg

termsCond.jpg

Does the fact they have sent these T & C make any different to the fact that all they have sent is still a copy of an application form?

Would they be able to enforce what they have supplied in the courts?

Your help on this one would be very much appreciated.

Alf

 

as far as i am aware there has to be a link between the documents to be incorporated as one,my understanding is that the prescribed terms have to be on the same sheet as the signature.
