    • 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 guys,

I am at my wits end. Rory you have ben a rock but I cant take any more of this pressure. Since my wife and I split I am unindated with demands from multilple creditors..all my fault. iI am drowning but do firmly believe they are all SB'd. Rory you have been a godsend. I feel I am cornered my debts total approx £40+ and i have no fight left. I have managed to side step them for the last 5+ years but my will is waining. I am thinking of sequestration, any thoughts would be appreciated.

 

Yours in anticipation,

 

John

John if the debts are statute barred then your obligation to pay them is legally extinguished. Can you list the creditors, types of accounts and the companies/DCA's that are currently pursuing you? You don't need to list the amounts.

 

This will help us formulate an action plan.

 

From what you have stated you really have no grounds for sequestration and no need to worry about the accounts. How are these people contacting you - is it telephone calls as well as letters?

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

 

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

Hi Rory,

I appreciate all your help and advice, but hey are mainly contacting me by letter. The main one are Mackenzie Hall who appear to have the info from the most ' valauble' accounts circa £28K. The rest comes in dribs and drabs from various others..Lowell finance, Connaught and others,.

 

I really cant take any more.

 

Sorry, John

Okay have you sent Mackenzie Hall the statute barred letter? And don't apologise - I know this is stressful but in reality these people are all bark and no bite. They have no legal powers full stop.

If you are really considering sequestration (you can now self sequestration for balance over £1500) and feeling this low then I think you need to actually speak to someone rather than do this through an internet site. I would suggest that you speak to National Debtline. Debts are not the end of the world and in your case they certainly should not be effecting you at all.

My heart really goes out to you, you hang on in there. Once you get that first company to bog off you will feel so much stronger, especially if it goddam mackenzie hall. The sense of empowerment when you know you can fight them and you know they are in the wrong will come.

 

Have seen so many people hounded by these companies, sick and tired of it, then I've seen these people send them packing and get a life back, you'll do it.

What a fright I got, I am glad you posted the above cause I was getting more worried with each post!

 

 

I know there's a lot to take in and when you are drowning you feel just like giving up. Been there, done it and wore many a t-shirt.

 

But once you start that ball rolling, as you have, the more confident you will feel. Start with the ones thats on at you the most.

 

and Yes I agree, Rory is a saint :grin:

Hi Guys,

 

Sorry for the delay in replying, have had a hectic time of late. I really have appreciated all the support and it has made me more determined than ever to fight back. Have started the ball rolling with MacHall...no reply, what a surprise, and also Lowell Financial. All my debts are now SB'd and I have documented proof to support this, so I will sit tight and pick them off one by one.

 

Cheers people you have been an inspiration.
