    • Well we can't predict what the judge will believe. PE will say that they responded in the deadline and you will say they don't. Nobody can tell what a random DJ will decide. However if you go for an OOC settlement you should still be able to get some money
    • What do you guys think the chances are for her?   She followed the law, they didnt, then they engage in deception, would the judge take kindly to being lied to by these clowns? If we have a case then we should proceed and not allow these blatant dishonest cheaters to succeed 
    • I have looked at the car park and it is quite clearly marked that it is  pay to park  and advising that there are cameras installed so kind of difficult to dispute that. On the other hand it doesn't appear to state at the entrance what the charge is for breaching their rules. However they do have a load of writing in the two notices under the entrance sign which it would help if you could photograph legible copies of them. Also legible photos of the signs inside the car park as well as legible photos of the payment signs. I say legible because the wording of their signs is very important as to whether they have formed a contract with motorists. For example the entrance sign itself doe not offer a contract because it states the T&Cs are inside the car park. But the the two signs below may change that situation which is why we would like to see them. I have looked at their Notice to Keeper which is pretty close to what it should say apart from one item. Under the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012 Schedule 4 Section 9 [2]a] the PCN should specify the period of parking. It doesn't. It does show the ANPR times but that includes driving from the entrance to the parking spot and then from the parking place to the exit. I know that this is a small car park but the Act is quite clear that the parking period must be specified. That failure means that the keeper is no longer responsible for the charge, only the driver is now liable to pay. Should this ever go to Court , Judges do not accept that the driver and the keeper are the same person so ECP will have their work cut out deciding who was driving. As long as they do not know, it will be difficult for them to win in Court which is one reason why we advise not to appeal since the appeal can lead to them finding out at times that the driver  and the keeper were the same person. You will get loads of threats from ECP and their sixth rate debt collectors and solicitors. They will also keep quoting ever higher amounts owed. Do not worry, the maximum. they can charge is the amount on the sign. Anything over that is unlawful. You can safely ignore the drivel from the Drips but come back to us should you receive a Letter of Claim. That will be the Snotty letter time.

    • 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 to everyone one out there.

 

I received a letter from capquest on 18/03/2008 saying they had purchased debt from littlewoods and they were demanding £xxx.xx, and if i did not contact them within 2 weeks it would be passed to their solicitors.

 

I replied with a cca request enclosing £1.00 PO. today i received a reply saying they had requested the documents from littlewoods, meanwhile i have been selected for a pilot scheme, and is as follows.

 

"the pilot scheme consists of offering you a one off settlement amount to clear this account by xx/xx/xxxx. we are offering you a saving of xx% on the balance of your account.

To accept this offer please contact us on 0870 084 3535"

 

after considering this for about 1 second i'm just going to wait and see what they come up with next.

 

has anyone else been offered this "pilot scheme"?

Hi there oldman,

I had a simimilar offer from Morcroft D/A that was also from littlewoods.

I am going for charges and PPI mis selling as it works out to be more than the amount I owe. It seems I may have been the only person in the world who actually signed a credit agreement so I cant CCA them (bummer).

 

Good Luck

They haven't yet sent you a CCA so at the moment they haven't proved you owe them anything. I'd let their pilot scheme fly to the nearest bin until they have complied with your request, if they ever do.

I had a letter from them with a crazy scheme direct from the company director .. yea right !!! :)...

 

My Crazy scheme was as follows

 

1, I can pay them an amount that suits me (how about £1.00)

 

2, they will remove all interest since they took the account and no more interest added, (the interest adds to about £2000 of a £9000 debt, rather alot I think and probably illegal)

 

3, with each payment I make they will credit my acount with an amount equivalent to 30% of the payment

 

Very inventive .... MUPPETS :)

Don't bin it - file it ;)

 

OLIVE.FAMILY Have they sent you a true copy of your CCA, if not they may not have it even if you do recall signing it;even then it may not be enforceable.

 

Hi ya

I dont want to hijack this thread. I have started my own here

 

http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/general-debt-issues/136661-littlewoods-say-no.html

 

but yes i am afraid it was def signed by me. I even used a computer signature to sign the sar request so they couldnt take that. As you will be able to see from my thread I am trying other things.

hi all,

My wife had a very heavy letter today from capquest threatening legal action as from 1st April . The amount owed £71 dating from 1993 littlewoods catalogue. Thing is she hasn't ever had a catalogue.So I went straight on the net found this sight and lots of other people with similar case.Ive posted off the letter posted on here stating all the legal jargon,so hopefully that should be the end of it?

Hi

 

They must be sending out random letters, as my mum received a letter today (threatening legal action and sending around baliffs) from Capquest regarding a littlewoods Catalogue, the amount owed £100 dating from 1990 she has never had this catalogue and she didn't even live at this address in 1990, the best thing was they wanted her to phone them by 26th march and the letter was dated 27th march.

Hi, these DCA's ars so predictable, you can tell what their next letter will be , especially after reading different threads on this forum. Do they think that we'd accept a substantial "discount" on an alleged debt that we know is not ours! Just by offering that we can tell that they're starting to get desperate, as they know only too well, that they're up against somebody that is going to fight back,and especially as they dont have the correct documentation to back up their claim's.

Hi again folks, I would like to ask a question about defaults on my credit report. I've noticed that on my CR I have 2 entries for the same alledged debt! 1st is from Legal Direct Recs(aka Littlewoods Finance) and the 2nd is for Cakquest, both the same amounts, but Cakquests default date is 1 day before LDR. Is this normal? Any info would be much appreciated. Thanks:???:

P.S I've had no contact from LDR but the normal cak from Cakquest as I've said in previous posts, thanks again.

:confused: Hi people. Capquest defaulted( 12 + 2 days) on the 11/04/08, then the 30 days passed on the 11/05/08. I've had no correspondance from them since their kind offer of the "pilot scheme" on the 29/03/08.

I had a look at my credit file on Experian today and guess what? My "account" is still defaulted but is down as settled since the 11/05/08 :confused:

Now, I've had no letter saying that they can't obtain the original cca and that they were going to mark this on my credit file.

So, I was just needing advice on what I should do next? I was thinking of writing to them and telling them that as they'd not provided me with my cca they couldn't process any of my private data and therefore should remove anything to do with me from their own files and also all 3 CRA's.

This from Zubo's thread:

 

http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/consumer-forums-website-questions/79147-consumer-credit-act-resources.html

Hello! Dear Plonker

 

CA 1974 (Consumer Credit Act)

 

As you are aware, I wrote to you on day/month/year requesting you supply me with the relevant information, which is my legal right under section 77-79 of the CCA 1974. You had 12 days plus 30 days inclusive of holidays and weekends (ie until day/month) to respond to me with the information.

 

This time has passed and you have now committed a Criminal Offence under the said Act and it is my intention to report you for this criminal conduct to the appropriate authorities (Then do it in writing to TS & the Police. Don't make empty threats)

I also understand that under the Act, due to your failure to comply with my statutory request you or any acting agent are unable to enforce an agreement therefore I am ceasing any further payments forthwith and will seek to recover any payments made to date (assuming your making any)

 

 

Data Protection Act (Data Protection Act 1998

 

Furthermore under the Data Protection Act (D10), you are also denied the authority to pass on any of my personal data. To do so in the circumstances is I understand a breach of the Data Protection Act 1998, and also the OFT guidelines, and should you ignore my request it would again result in you being further reported to the relevant authorities.

 

 

I also require that you remove all my data from your files within the next 7 days and look forward to receiving a letter from you within 10 days confirming that you have complied with this request.

 

Yours faithfully

 

Mr. Stuff You

RESULT

sent capquest a threat-a-gram of my own telling them to remove all data from their systems and all C.R.A'S AS they had not supplied me with a CCA and i wanted my £1 back.

Yesterday i recieved a copy of their complaint handling procedure and i thought ok a nother letter to go off to them'

This morning i recieved a letter from from them saying "Capquest have now removed your details from our system and no further correspondence will be sent. We have instructed the relevant department to instruct the CRA'S to completely delete the details relating to this accountfrom your credit file and acheque for £1 will be sent to you in due course"

I would like to say a big big thank you for everyone's help and advice

C.A.G ROCKS
