    • Thank-you dx for your feedback. That is the reason I posted my opinion, because I am trying to learn more and this is one of the ways to learn, by posting my opinions and if I am incorrect then being advised of the reasons I am incorrect. I am not sure if you have educated me on the points in my post that would be incorrect. However, you are correct on one point, I shall refrain from posting on any other thread other than my own going forward and if you think my post here is unhelpful, misleading or in any other way inappropriate, then please do feel obliged to delete it but educate me on the reason why. To help my learning process, it would be helpful to know what I got wrong other than it goes against established advice considering the outcome of a recent court case on this topic that seemed to suggest it was dismissed due to an appeal not being made at the first stage. Thank-you.   EDIT:  Just to be clear, I am not intending to go against established advice by suggesting that appeals should ALWAYS be made, just my thoughts on the particular case of paying for parking and entering an incorrect VRN. Should this ever happen to me, I will make an appeal at the first stage to avoid any problems that may occur at a later stage. Although, any individual in a similar position should decide for themselves what they think is an appropriate course of action. Also, I continue to be grateful for any advice you give on my own particular case.  
    • you can have your humble opinion.... You are very new to all this private parking speculative invoice game you have very quickly taken it upon yourself to be all over this forum, now to the extent of moving away from your initial thread with your own issue that you knew little about handling to littering the forum and posting on numerous established and existing threads, where advice has already been given or a conclusion has already resulted, with your theories conclusions and observations which of course are very welcomed. BUT... in some instances, like this one...you dont quite match the advice that the forum and it's members have gathered over a very long consensual period given in a tried and trusted consistent mannered thoughtful approach. one could even call it forum hi-jacking and that is becoming somewhat worrying . dx
    • Yeah, sorry, that's what I meant .... I said DCBL because I was reading a few threads about them discontinuing claims and getting spanked in court! Meant  YOU  Highview !!!  🖕 The more I read this forum and the more I engage with it's incredible users, the more I learn and the more my knowledge expands. If my case gets to court, the Judge will dismiss it after I utter my first sentence, and you DCBL and Highview don't even know why .... OMG! .... So excited to get to court!
    • 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! 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.

    • 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.

I am in the middle of a huge dispute with Direct Auto Finance (the now defunct Yes Car Credit) and their chosen debt collector the ever lovely (not) Direct Legal Colections.

 

The car was voluntary surrended back on 2006 July as YCC no longer existed we couldn't change the car so went to a new car finance dept. Had paid more than two thirds of finance including the PPI which we were told had to take if wanted finance (yes we were mugs)

 

I have lots of queries and for some reasons these guys don't like to answer them.

I have asked for a copy of the Payment Protection Insurance document and Schedule as I believe this was never paid for by YCC. DAF keep refering me to a company called Coonect MI, who are the underwriters and NIG but both of these refer me back to DAF who say they do not hold these documents....

Secondly as I seem to have repossesion costs on the balance of account statement provided I have asked for a copy of the Court Order. They sent me a letter saying it was a repossesssion but are now saying that was an admin mistake and wantt to recall the letter!!!!

There are other many issues and I was hoping to find others who have either dealt with this or are further ahead then I as I just seem to go round in circles catching them out lie after lie but it doesn't help much.

Again you need to send a SAR requesting all this information. The PPI you can claim back if missold, take a look in the PPI Forum. If the car was VT'd then there was no need for a court order.

HAVE YOU BEEN TREATED UNFAIRLY BY CREDITORS OR DCA's?

 

BEWARE OF CLAIMS MANAGEMENT COMPANIES OFFERING TO WRITE OFF YOUR DEBTS.

Good morning Rory

I notice the removal of the link to a discssion forum,

Is that because there is some remarks by people who are talking about the company concerned which are unacceptable,

e.g lible

or another reason,

Thanks

No it's simply because the site advertises loans etc. We don't allow direct links to commercial websites nor do we allow advertising on CAG, however if you had stated that moneysupermarket.com have a yes car credit forum which also offers advice that would have been okay.

Hi, I am in a middle of a dispute with Direct Auto Finance and DLC over an outstanding balance which they claim I owe despite VT the car.

 

Anyway, the query I am trying to get answered is that I have 2 copies of the contract (taken out in joint finance by my partner and I) where I have just noticed that both our copies of the contract has a witness signature of a name we don't know so must be the Yes Car Credit Sales lady who served us.

 

However in the box where it says "Signature for and behalf of Direct Auto Finance" there is no signature on both documents. These are not copies by the way these are the ones that were provided to us on the day of taking the car finance.

 

Can anyone advise on this or am I just indulging in wishfull thinking!!!!

does this eman the two copies of the unsigned contract is to my advantage?

They are two genuine copies and the signatures of my bf and I are clearly although ours in different places - ie a few inches difference to start of signature.

DAF had sent endless photo copies of their versions which have a signature on dated 5 days after we were there although I think they have misread the date we signed on.

soz, got tied up some where else,

 

here is a quote from the CCA 1974.

 

61 Signing of agreement

(1) A regulated agreement is not properly executed unless—

(a) a document in the prescribed form itself containing all the prescribed terms and conforming to regulations under section 60(1) is signed in the prescribed manner both by the debtor or hirer and by or on behalf of the creditor or owner, and

(b) the document embodies all the terms of the agreement, other than implied terms, and

© the document is, when presented or sent to the debtor or hirer for signature, in such a state that all its terms are readily legible.

but can they argue that they have signed contracts as we signed 3 I think, 1 for me, 1 for bf and 1 for them, from looking at photocopies they have sent on top of ours. Their one is signed and unfortunately can't tell when but both ours aren't.

someI am being told in another forum that the finance compeny send out the agreement with their signature after and that it would be hard to prove that this wasn't seent out. But surely a financer would not let you out of their offive with an unsigned agreement which only their clients and signed and not them. I would have thought it would be down to the financer to prove it was sent after as otherwise how on earth would we have got these unsigned copies???

 

This doesn't make sense to me

I have received a letter this morning although this time from DAF and not DLC The letter is advising of the T&C of the payment protection isnurance and advises this is the document that is provided with all finance contracts and is proof it was taken out. (never seen this before)

 

the document is a two page print out - separate pages with no signatures anywhere or anything that links it to the contract - its in a totally different font to the contract and looks like something that has been quickly typed and sent out. Also the company that says where claims go to (the underwriters) are not the ones that I had and I think the one mentioned on this was the later chosen company for YCC. My finance was back in 2003 and these underwriters took over I think in 2005

 

Unfortunately what I asked for being the actual policy schedule itself not the T& C as I want proof it was taken out has not been provided. :rolleyes:
