    • Thanx Londoneill get on to it this evening having a read around these forums I can’t seem to find many success stories using your methods. So how successful are these methods or am I just buying time for him  and a ccj will be inevitable in the end. Thanks another question is, will he have to appear at court..? I am not sure he has got it in him
    • Here's a suggested modified version for consideration by the team. (Not sure whether it still gives too much away?)   RE: PCN 4xxxxx Dear ALLIANCE PARKING Litigation Dept, Thank you for your dubious Letter Of Claim (dated 29th April 2024) of £100 for just 2 minutes of overstay. The family rolled around on the floor in amazement of the idea you actually think they’d accept this nonsense, let alone being confused over the extra unlawful £70 you added. Shall we raise the related VAT issue with HMRC, or perhaps the custodians of the unicorn grain silos? Apart from the serious GDPR breach you’ve made with the DVLA and your complete failure in identifying the driver, we’re dumbfounded that the PCN is still not compliant with the PoFA (2012 Schedule 4 Under Section 9.2.f) even after 12 years of pathetic trial and error. We also doubt a judge would be very impressed at your bone idleness and lack of due diligence regarding parking periods. Especially with no consideration of section 13 in your own trade association's code of practice and the topological nature of the Cornish landscape versus a traditional multi-storey. And don’t even get us started on the invisible signage during the ultra busy bank holiday carnage, that is otherwise known as the random parking chaos in the several unmarked, unmanaged over-spill fields, or indeed the tedious “frustration of contract” attempting to get a data connection to Justpark.  We suggest your clients drop this extreme foolishness or get an absolute hammering in court. We are more than ready to raise the above issues and more, with a fair minded judge, who will most likely laugh your clients out in less time than it takes to capture a couple of useless ANPR photos. If you insist on continuing this stupid, money grabbing quest, after having all of the above pointed out, we will of course show this letter to the Judge and request “an unreasonable costs order” under CPR 27.14.2.g and put it toward future taxis to Harlyn Bay instead.  We all look forward to your clients' deafening silence. Signed, "Spot". (Vehicle Keeper's pet Dalmation).
    • Paying DCA's one penny, never mind £50 per month is a mugs game, they have really been milking him as a cash cow   See where received a claim form is underlined in your post, you need to click, on that and read carefully, then answer the questions, then copy and paste into a post on this thread Forget the CAB ,  their advice is sometimes weird. Is it worth defending? Lowell brought these debts for 10 p in the pound , years ago, because they are flawed. Think about it! if it was such an easy win, Capital one could have taken it to court and crushed him.  It could be an invalid agreement, default notice, or many other things. In a nutshell , yes, and we can help you.

    • 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 took out a loan with Cahoot a few years ago and took out their PPI. As I took the loan out over the Internet and not over the phone have I got a case to claim these charges back as I didn't speak to anyone directly?

 

Has anyone had any success claiming PPI from cahoot?

 

Thanks

Hello jonny,

 

I am not sure about Cahoot andinternet loans and ppi. The internet seems so impersonal I usually get suckered by a female asking me how I am keeping and how she can help me.

 

This is just a bump to help

 

good luck

I have no legal training and the advice I offer is a matter of support. Before you commit to any Legal action you are advised to contact a qualified legal practitioner.

------------------------------------------------

Bank charge successes:

Halifax - Full settlement incl interest.

HSBC - Settlement, goodwill no admission of liability about 75% of claim.

RBS - Settlement, goodwill no admission of liability about 70% of claim.

2 ongoing claims for bank charges with HSBC with more to come. (Supreme Court ruling could have upset these claims) They did :mad:

PPI Successes

PPI 4 settlements on 9 loans. FOS involvement on 7 added on the 8 % Statutory interest another 30% to both.

2 claims settled in full with LV without FOS involvement.

2 claims settled in full with HSBC without FOS involvement

 

PPI Claims ongoing with:

Cap one Now with the FOS

Barclays. Paid up today 24/04/10 cheque received for over £4,500 and in the bank.

LTSB still have to decide on this as their SAR production was abysmal. Papers data mixed up documents missing etc

 

1 Complaint not upheld by FOS they said it was ICO issue. Complaint upheld by ICO. See this..

Post 290 from

***RBS PPI Claim Long fight but, WON***

 

Please do not PM me for advice as it may be sometime before I can respond.

 

Keep at them. Do not give way and do not accept all they tell you, they will delay and stall for as long as they can to prevent repaying you your mis-sold PPI.

I have just sent a letter off to Cahoot for exactly the same

 

I got a credit card off them in 2000, and I must say I did have a lot of late payments and went over my limit, but for the past 2 years they have had their money on the dot.

 

I have not used the card (it has a £2000 limit) , and to be honest I never logged on to check my balance etc( forgotten password doh) .

 

When I was initially over my limit I had letters from them, they then stopped and because I assumed I had brought it under control.

 

I then called for a balance and was shocked to be told that I owed £2300;

they had levied £12.00 every month for the last 42 months.

 

On top on that I had PPI, that I was not only paying the sum of about £20 per month but also interest.

 

I worked out the PPI charges, over limit charges etc and it came to £1800, I was flabbergasted.

 

The letter that got sent to me claimed that if I entered into the court arena that they would request a stay.

 

I sent them a very curt letter saying the PPI should never have been applied to my account because I work for local government and would be paid for a year anyway.

 

Their response was well you must have ticked it .

Well maybe I did, but I am still stating I have been paying for a product that was not only extremely expensive but not suitable for my needs either.

 

I have also reminded them that the stay is for current accounts and not credit cards as that was agreed back in 2006.

 

I will wait and see what happens, but I am totally prepared to go to court over this.

I don’t even want the cash as such I just want it deducted form my credit card bill, which I then happily settle.

 

Anyone had anything similar happen I am just curious as to what their response will be.

Hi,

 

I also took out a cahoot online loan for 6.5k.

It was a few years ago and i was naïve.

 

I must have ticked the ppi box but i am certain i was not given information as to it's suitability and definately did not know that out of the £150 monthly payment almost £100 was on ppi! i paid the loan off eventually and now havng found this site am fully prepared to get it all back including the interest.

 

There does not seem to be much info on cahoots online ppi agreements.

And i cannot remember how the online form was worded.

I guess i just ticked the box assuming that it was needed in case i lost my job.

 

I will start proceedings by accruing all the information on my loan, the agreements etc then take the standard path of sar's etc etc.

 

I have all the time in the world!

 

It would be good to keep in touch with other forum members who are doing the same so we can share info and nail the basxxxds!

Hi Frugaljo

 

Thanks for your reply.

I really think that the guff they sent you shows that they know they have a problem.

Like the other guy said i would ignore it and stay on the designated path with the correct letters...

 

It seems to me they try to stall you at every opportunity and especially if you don't have all your details in order or make a mistake... if you are well prepared and follow the procedures you will eventually reach a point where they pay up!

 

good luck and stay in touch..

Hi jonnypb,

 

I also took out a Cahoot loan (in 2003) and was shocked to realise about a year ago that I had been paying PPI all along, so I cancelled it straight away.

 

I do not remember ticking (or unticking) any boxes when I took out the loan online.

To date I have sent a SAR (last October) and have requested my CCA several times from them, but they have not sent me it.

 

Their time is now up on the CCA and as far as I know they are committing a criminal offence,

I have been looking round the forums but I am still unsure as to watch to do next.

I do have a thread of my own but no one has replied to it yet,

can anyone help me?

 

My thread is here:

 

http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/cahoot/117475-cahoot-loan-any1-they.html

 

I'll subscribe to your thread jonny and let you know how I get on.

Hi Kennyvinegar,

 

 

I think your main problem has been you only sent a letter to start with that requested information. Unless you send the sar they will just laugh at a request for info (as you said they sent a we know what you are up to letter). They seem to have continued with the "this guy ain't serious so well draw it out and hope he buggars off" spin.

 

You must stick to the universally recognised letters and make sure you step up the game as soon as the legally allowed timescales allows. Also where possible apply your own timescales to which they must reply to your letters..

 

THis will a) shorten the result and b) show them you a committed to the course of action

 

let me know how you get on! :-)

Hi madmupps

 

thanks for your reply, this is what I have sent them so far:

 

03/09/07 - letter requesting T&Cs (which they couldn't find)

22/10/07 - S.A.R - (Subject Access Request) letter

13/11/07 - letter of non-compliance (including section asking for my credit agreement under the cca)

12/02/08 - Letter requesting cca (letter N) from which they have sent the £1 back

 

They responded to my SAR but didn't include the cca. That's why I sent them the separate letter requesting it. All the letter I have sent have been templates from on here, and used the timescales. Their 12 days +2 +30 is up now, I'm just wondering what I do next. I am still paying them every month. Should I stop the payments?

Kennvinegar,

 

I can see now that you did take a bit too long in pursuing them! It really does need to be bang on..

 

Did you send all you letters by special delivery? This ensures that they don't say that it never arrived etc.

 

you must now take it to the next level. Begin legal proceedings and watch them squirm!

 

if they really have lost your agreement then surely they are stuffed and you will win in court???!!!

Kennyvinegar,

 

Just got this from the ppi section...

 

The loan agreement is what you need to look for. This document is required to specify the amount that you have borrowed together with any anciliary charges which have been added to the loan. This will include total interest payable, your monthly payments and any insurance products you may have attached to the loan.

 

I hope this is helpful.

 

It is very clear to me that they are stalling on this cos they know damn well that this will not show the ppi charges and that you will have a very strong case for miss selling!!!

 

Keep on it!!! They know it... and they damn well don't want you to have it...

The law however is on your side and eventually they will have to come up with it!!:-)

I sent all the letters recorded delivery, and having responded to my SAR and non-compliance letters (although still not fully), they can't say that they didn't receive them. They also can't say that they didn't receive the CCA request, as they sent the £1 cheque back with a letter just stating that cca information was free, although not actually sending the cca with it.

 

I have been reading around the forum about cca non-compliance but i'm confused at there seems to be a difference of opinion as to what to do next - fill out a claim form, stop my payments and wait...I'm not sure!

Don't quote me but would you not be in breach of contract if you cancelled the payments? Surely the best course of action is to caim it all back up to the latest payment when and if it goes to court or they settle up?

 

You don't want to give them any ammo do you?!!!

 

I would make up the claim form for the non complience now.:-)

Hi,

 

Just looked at non complience on this thread :

 

http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/payment-protection-insurance-ppi/122519-poc-ppi-there-any.html?highlight=non+compliance

 

It looks like someone else has been having the same issues as you!

They have a court date on 16th of April! might be worth while waiting for the outcome of this one to see what happens.

 

cheers.

  • 2 weeks later...

i everyone,

just got a reply from Cahoot for repayment of PPI ( mis-sold) and overlimit charges.

 

it goes like this:-

Cahoot have never actively sold PPI ,

however this involved a customer ticking a box in the application and being referred to the terms and conditions of the insurance

.which would also be sent out on completion of the application.

 

As you selected to add this to your application this was set up for you.

The insurance premiums are based on the outstanding monthly balance and we would show as a transaction on your monthly balance .

 

As a result we would not be able to refund as they have been paid to insure your balance as requested and would have been paid out in the event of any claim .

I can confirm that this insurance has now been cancelled.

 

Yeah because i cancelled it.

The thing I would like to know is firstly

should I ask for a copy of the Terms and conditions,

2 do you consider that even if I did "tick the box" , which was so long ago i really cant remember surely they have a duty of care in maintaining that they are selling a product that is fit for purpose. This was not as I work for local government and would have been paid for a year either way.:evil:

 

They went on to say with regards to your 42 months worth of over limit fees ,

you should have logged onto your account thats your problem not ours.

 

I am really angry that i owe 2300 to Cahoot, and £1800 of that is phoney PPI charges interest and overlimit charges.

If I would not have had the PPI the over limits would probably have not even happened.

 

I am not going to take their knockback, but I am considering my next step.

 

I am thinking of

1 requesting a copy of my "signed" PPI agreement.

2 asking for a break down of their charges

3 giving them 14 days to "reflect on their mistake" and then filing in my Court form.

4 informing them of my "personal and professional costs per hour "which I will be adding the claim. (£30.00 per hour) and I have put some time into this, so it will cost them about another £300.00

 

I also should add that Cahoots initial response was to tell me that all the banks had been granted a "stay", when I stated quite clearly they were attempting to mislead me, as this does not apply to credit cards they have changed their tack.

 

Bottom line is I am that angry about this i would rather lose £100 in court costs than not fight them .

I just feel I need a next steps from someone .

Any offers
