    • 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.
    • Defence and Counterclaim Claim number XXX Claimant Civil Enforcement Limited Defendant XXXXXXXXXXXXX   How much of the claim do you dispute? I dispute the full amount claimed as shown on the claim form.   Do you dispute this claim because you have already paid it? No, for other reasons.   Defence 1. The Defendant is the recorded keeper of XXXXXXX  2. It is denied that the Defendant entered into a contract with the Claimant. 3. As held by the Upper Tax Tribunal in Vehicle Control Services Limited v HMRC [2012] UKUT 129 (TCC), any contract requires offer and acceptance. The Claimant was simply contracted by the landowner to provide car-park management services and is not capable of entering into a contract with the Defendant on its own account, as the car park is owned by and the terms of entry set by the landowner. Accordingly, it is denied that the Claimant has authority to bring this claim. 4. In any case it is denied that the Defendant broke the terms of a contract with the Claimant. 5. The Claimant is attempting double recovery by adding an additional sum not included in the original offer. 6. In a further abuse of the legal process the Claimant is claiming £50 legal representative's costs, even though they have no legal representative. 7. The Particulars of Claim is denied in its entirety. It is denied that the Claimant is entitled to the relief claimed or any relief at all.

    • 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'm due to move shortly, and was about to redirect my mail using the royal mail's online application.

 

When they were asking for all sorts of things to identify me though, such as my home tel no, length of time at old address, it begain to ring alarm bells :o

 

Does anyone here know if they share information with DCS's or financial institutions, or indeed link addresses on CRA files?

 

Any help appreciated :-)

There's another thread around somewhere that says that royal mail sell these details to interested parties - including CRA etc - they say "to help you". There should be a box somewhere to tick to avoid this.

If you've claimed any benefits at that address and a Gov dept writes to you, the letter will not be redirected, it will be returned to the sender. They can then issue Royal Snail with a request for information and the Snail are obliged to inform them of your new address. That applies to Public Authorities/Gov Depts, but I think it's unlikely to apply to private companies like CRA's etc, but you do have a right to privacy.

 

BUT...because DWP/CSA are using private owned DCA's to recover debts owed to the Gov, if you have had any dealings with DWP, CSA, Social Fund etc it is not unknown for information to mysteriously leak a little bit here and there.........and once a private DCA gets a whiff of your whereabouts they may decide to alter your CRA file so they can effectively hold you to ransom over any debts which you may, or may not owe, and they probably have no legal right to collect anyway.

HOIST BY THEIR OWN PETARD.

 

Blimey it works....:-)

Thanks for the info Danny and Grumpy. Think I may collect post from the sorting office instead. Call me cynical or paranoid lol, but I just don't trust anyone when it comes to my information :rolleyes:

Disagree Dannyboy, as mentioned on the 'inside a dca' thread Nectar bought a list from Royal Mail with redirection details. I found out when someone tried ID theft on me. I was catagoricly told by Nectar that they had obtained my details from Royal Mail - (they buy the lists), when someone had placed a redirection to defraud a credit card company in my name. That is a commercial operation and nothing to do with Public bodies. I know DCA's buy into information like this too.

yes they are selling voting registeres.

 

But there is a box where you can tick to say you want to go on the edited version that does not get sold. I am on that one.

I'm baffled as to what it is you are disagreeing with!!!

 

Royal Snail have to disclose information about address changes etc to DWP/HMRC etc if they ask for it. That is a legal requirement to help in the prevention and detection of fraud. I know that is a fact because I worked within the CS and those organisations for many years!!!

 

There is no legal requirement to disclose information to private companies like DCA's etc, and the fact that they (Royal Snail) do sell it was never in doubt - 2grumpy had already stated that in the previous post, and I did say "but I think it's unlikely to apply to private companies like CRA's etc, but you do have a right to privacy."!!

 

There are many, many ways that DCA's track you down at a new address, but the fact Royal Snail will sell your details on if you fail to tick the privacy box amongst the small print of a redirection form, has made life much easier for them.

HOIST BY THEIR OWN PETARD.

HI;......I heard that Councils are selling Voting-Registers!!??!?!? I wonder if it's true !...........W.M.

 

Yes, the same thing applies.

 

The short version of the Register goes on public display without too much personal info, but a second version is compiled and sold to interested parties if you don't tick the privacy box indicating that you don't want to be included.

I'll be moving in 6 months or so,.

I have no intentions of having mail redirected, ever.

Or ever being on the electoral roll. (no point in voting in the UK, as they're all out to screw us anyway.)

 

I'll be keeping my new address as private as I can.

Any DCA letters get ignored, anyone comes to the door, I'll say nobody of that name lives here, etc.

 

I'm sick of living in what's rapidly becoming a Police State where your details can be had by anyone, for anything, for the right price.

No wonder there is so much ID theft in the UK. They say, "CCTV and sharing information is for our own good. If you've done nothing wrong then you have nothing to fear."

 

Wrong!!! We have everything to fear, and so many times on here and in the media we see examples of why we should make a stand for our rights of privacy.

We aren't safe even then. Everytime you make an electronic transaction, anywhere, it's tracked. The government are making it harder for anyone to use cash and limit their traces :mad:

 

George Orwell was right then. Just a few years late with his prediction.

 

I'm not giving up though. Anything I can do to make it difficult for them to keep tabs on me and I'll do it.

 

Most of what DCA's spout is rubbish anyway. Challenge them and they soon go quiet. They just go after the easy targets and soon run when you throw a few spanners in the works. So spread the word about the CAG and places like it, and debt collection will no longer be the profitable industry it is at the moment. Then hopefully they'll go and earn an honest days pay like the rest of us.

We are having mail re-directed to a new address and Lowells have mysteriously got hold of it within a couple of months

Same here. Lowells got mine too. I assumed it was because of credit check burea info where existing creditors will inform them of a move. I did not inform my debtors cause they were going to knock on my door and the man who now lives where I did, has never heard of me. I still answer all mail forwarding from DCA's though and keep up DMP. So, in conclusion, would anyone say they can get mail forwarding address without breaching the data protection act? I did tick the box saying, tell no one, so to speak. Can you have mail forwarding, to a P O Box or one of those commercial private type boxes or do the P Office forbid it?
