    • 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.

please cans someone help, i have 5 creditcards adding up to a debt of £11,500.

around £2000 is interest alone.

i have card protection at around £60 a month, collective for a year of which i have been unemployed signed off by my doctor for depression,

i cannot claim on the protection because i didnt have a contract with my employer but am still paying for the protection, i dont know how to stop it.

i have asked the companies for help with my situation and that i would start payments when i could, any possibility of reducing payments or stopping interest and have been told its not possible.

i am with NBMA, CAPITAL 1, EGG, BARCLAYCARD and NATWEST

A debt management programme can help, charging £3000 over 10 years but not helping reduce any of the capital owed.

im 22 and unemployed, i can make payments of £120 a month, but dont know where to start

 

please help

Hi Pink, what a situation. £120 a month is not a bad start, if you can really manage to pay that. Can you give a bit more insight into why the PPI would not work - and why it is dependent on a contract from your employer? Can your previous employer not help here?

 

Anyway, have a read around the site. I would not suggest a DMP until you know exactly where you stand on several issues.

 

You can set up your own DMP. I did it - I owed £80K to various cards and offered them in total £250 a month, pro rata to the amounts I owed them, on the basis that they froze interest. They ALL agreed. The monthly payments should have been £2500;)

 

Secondly you need to look into the PPI (insurance) you have been and are paying - was this mis- sold, what was your situation when it was taken out?

 

And finally you need to find out if the debts are enforceable. If they haven't got a properly executed consumer credit agreement (there are loads of threads on here about it) they can't enforce the debt at all.

 

You will get lots of help on here - welcome to CAG by the way;)

If you click on the link in my signature "Creditors and DCA Template Letters" the CCA request is template N. This asks for a copy of your credit agreement under the Consumer Credit Act. Send the letter recorded with a £1 postal order and bon't sign the letter. They have 12 working days to provide a copy of the agreement. If they don't after this period of time they are in default and can not enforce the agreement until they produce a copy of the agreement (this means you can lawfully withhold payment).

executing the customer

thats illegal:lol: :lol:

sorry, just had to say that

the first thing you need to do is establish if the agreement is enforcable,you would need to request a copy of your agreement from each of your creditors, use the template letter here http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/general-debt/20758-creditors-dcas-letter-templates.html

you need to use letter N and include a one pound postal order with each request

they have 12 working days to respond with a copy of your credit agreement. if they fail then they enter what is called a default situation and are not allowed while the default continues to enforce the debt

if they send a non compliant agreement ie if its missing vital prescribed terms then they cannot enforce the debt and a court is precluded from issuing an enfiorcement order

oh dont ever sign any letters which you may send them, instead use a digital signature such as here http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/general-debt/110578-digital-signature-guide.html

i hope this helps you for starters

regards

Are any of the accounts with debt collection agencies yet? You may wish to take some time to read through some threads on the Debt Collection and General Debt forums.

Rory replied at the same time as me, oh well, he's pretty much covered every thing

 

i would go with Special Delivery if you can afford it as recorded does not always guarantee a signature on delivery whereas special does but it does cost more

some are with the debt collector, threatening to go to my mums even tho i have told them i don't live ther, they don't believe me. i wrote to all of them explaining my situation, asking them to at least hold off on the interest, but they all refused and the amount goes up monthly.

A debt management programme said they could help reduce the capital i owe, but didn't and want to charge interest for themselves! it will take 10 years to pay them back. i haven't signed.

i know my situation is of my own making but i am so overwelmed with it all i've left it til now.

it is tempting to sign for the 10 years but my mum said i must come here first to see if there is anything else i can do.

it all seems so confusing.

am reading through it all, but do not have a computer so can only do all this when i am at my mums.

 

why use a digital sig?

some DCAs and creditors have been known lets say to get a little happy with photoshop and scan sigs from your letters onto credit agreements and then try and pass them off as legitimate

 

thats why you should never sign any letter you send them and why i advocate using a digital signature

Regarding DMP I wouldn't rush into one. There are organisations who will set one up for you for free if required (it sounds as if you've got in touch with one that charges). I know you have a lot of information to take in at the moment but you may wish to get in touch NationalDebtline for one of their information packs on debt and DMP's. They area charity who have a very good reputation on this site. Their telephone number is FREEPHONE: 0808 808 4000

Monday to Friday 9am to 9pm

Saturday 9.30am to 1pm

Regarding DCA's threatening to pop round to your Mum's there is a letter you can send to revoke their license to do this (they do after all have no more right than you or me). Letter shown below:

Dear Sirs,

Please be advised that I am only prepared to communicate with you in writing. OFT rules and regulations clearly state that you can only visit me at my home if you make an appointment and I have no wish to make an appointment with you. There is only an implied license under English Common Law for people to be able to visit me on my property without express permission; the postman and people asking for directions etc (Armstrong v. Sheppard and Short Ltd [1959] 2 Q.B. per Lord Evershed M.R.).

 

Therefore take note that I revoke license under Common Law for you, or your representatives, to visit me at my property and if you persist in sending “doorstep callers” to my home, you will be reported for harassment and be liable for damages for a tort of trespass. You would also be liable for conspiring in a tort of trespass by acting in defiance of my instructions and sending someone to visit me nevertheless.

 

Should it be necessary, I will obtain an injunction.

 

Yours sincerely,

  • Haha 1
