    • 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.

    • Yes, it was, but in practice we've found time after time that judges will not rule against PPCs solely on the lack of PP.  They should - but they don't.  We include illegal signage in WSs, but more as a tactic to show the PPC up as spvis rather than in the hope that the judge will act on that one point alone. But sue them for what?  They haven't really done much apart from sending you stupid letters. Breach of GDPR?  It could be argued they knew you had Supremacy of Contact but it's a a long shot. Trespass to your vehicle?  I know someone on the Parking Prankster blog did that but it's one case out of thousands. Surely best to defy them and put the onus on them to sue you.  Make them carry the risk.  And if they finally do - smash them. If you want, I suppose you could have a laugh at the MA's expense.  Tell them about the criminality they have endorsed and give them 24 hours to have your tickets cancelled and have the signs removed - otherwise you will contact the council to start enforcement for breach of planning permission.

    • 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.

They probably haven't bought it. They normally act as an agent for the creditor. Why are you sending them a CCA request if you are finalising an IVA?

Yes.

RBS had passed debt to allied international. They were fully aware of our situation re IVA and have, in fact been, very understanding. Then this letter arrived - a notice of "intended litigation" from Moorcroft. The reason I am asking for CCA request I suppose is to stall for time. We have already got a charging order on the house from HFC(long story on another thread) They too were fully aware of the impending IVA and got in quick to secure their unfounded claim against our house. I am worried Moorcroft will do the same

Do they have a CCJ? Are there charges on the account?

Moorecroft generally start off all their communications from their Pre Litigation Unit or as in your case inform you of intended litigation whether or not they actually have the ability or the paperwork to bring a Court case.

I'm sure there are late charges on the account. No they don't have a ccj(at the moment) but I am worried that they will apply to courtfor one before the IVA is finalised. As I know from bitter experience (with other companies) they won't listen to you and are totally unsympathetic towards your financial problems

Well you could dispute any CCJ claim on the grounds of charges, valid credit agreement, etc. How long will it take to finalise your IVA do you think?

All the paperwork has been sent. Just waiting for creditors meeting. Have you any idea how to appeal against the other CCJ/Charging order? I really appreciate your advice. Strange- just had a phonecall from Moorcroft as I was writing this! Me thinks their ears must be burning!!!:lol: Just informed their Rep that I would rather discuss details via letters and never answered security question as she didn't even introduce who she was or who she worked for just expected me to give my address and DOB out!! Told her we were going through an IVA and would send them details out. Do you think it is worth asking for CCA request or a list of charges thankyou

Not if you are entering a IVA. If the IVA doesn't get approved then certainly you should look at doing this.

Just been reading some of the posts on IVA Is this a really bad idea? Having serious doubts now. The only reason we were entering into an IVA was because we were ina DMP but still getting phone calls up to 9pm and threatening letters even though we explained we were on a DMP and paying all we could afford. We also got a CCJ against us and then a charging order. Interest and charges were mounting so we felt this was our only way to get peace of mind and still pay our debts. Would really appreciate any advice on this, debating whether to ring Payplan tomorrow and ask if we can pull out and go back onto DMP. What do you think?

IVA's are not suitable for the vast majority of people. I would suggest that you contact National Debtline about whether or not an IVA is suitable. Payplan deal in IVA's so I would contact an organisation that has no vested interest in promoting it.

You need to understand that an insolvency practioner will tell you that an iva is your best option,remember they will benefit financially from you.They will reatain a large amount of the money you pay in.If your financial circumstances change for the better,they could ask for increased payments.If it fails..your back were you started..infact probably worse off as the debt will have increased.an iva will also effect your ability to get credit.if you do choose this route Please Please don't sign the iva until you checked it thorouhly for any hidden clauses.

Thanks for all your advice. Main reason for IVA was for manageable payments and peace from creditors. Now the highest loan(HFC) has been made into a secured debt so I am sure we would be able to cope with the other payments. I have taken Rory's advice(THANKYOU) and rung national debtline who are going to ring me back this afternoon. Just a bit worried Payplan will be peed off if we do stop it going through.

Have payplan gone through all the pitfalls of the iva? If they acted like salesmen and were only focusing on the benefits of this route and not the negatives....it could be construde as misselling....point this out if they do get peed off with you.

Will do thanks. Phoned national debtline today who were very helpful. They said nothing is finalised until after creditors meeting. Will phone Payplan tomorrow

See what happens at the creditors meeting if you can get the iva set up on your terms with fixed monthly payments that you can easily afford for the next 5 years.This may still be a good option.Good luck.

Hi everyone received another "NOTICE OF INTENDED LITIGATION" today:sad: We are still unsure whether to continue with thi IVA so i sent a CCA request which has been received on 29/05/08- no agreement sent this is 9 days now they want payment in full before 12/06/08 and want me to ring them to arrange full payment of £1700 couldn't even manage £17!! They have given me a week to pay this off. I know the holy grail about never speaking to them, if I send a letter to them stating CCA request it won't get there till at least 10/06 which is giving me 2 days till they start litigation HELP!!!

Intended litigation in just over three weeks!!!!! - i have had moorcroft after me for much longer than that and have had several like this and ignored then so far - i made an offer of £5 through the CAB and the accepted it but I am still getting computor generated threato-grams demanding £100 per month which I am ignoring but will complain about shortly once I have sorted part of LLoyds out

 

There are afar more experienced people than me on there but I wouldn't lose any sleep over this one. They use 'prelitigation section' and all sorts of bull**** like that as a matter of course to frighten you

If you can keep you head when all of those around you are losing theirs try parking your helicopter somewhere else

As i understand (and I am also a realtive newbie) it by requesting a CCA you are putting the account in dispute so they shouldn't be sending those letters but I do know DCAs try alot of stunts they aren't supposed to and so far at least one has given up with me this year and passed it back to the OC after the 90 day cycle and OC is still dealing directly with me - which I suspects means they haven't got the original CCA - don't sing anything BTW - they have been know to scan signatures to 'create' CCAs

Just a quick update. Time is up for 12+2 days. Received a letter asking for a copy of the bankruptcy order?:confused: News to me!! Just spoken to payplan re IVA told her our misgivings and we are now going down the DMP route instead- a big relief so no IVA

Received another letter today with my £1 postal order attached saying they are unable to provide a copy of the agreement as they have been in contact with their client (RBS) who have confimed to obtain a copy of the agreement I must put my request in writing to their address. Is this right? Surely they could have passed that request over to them if they have already been in contact? Would appreciate advice please:)
