    • 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.

Not all letters are signed for - poor postman standing at each business address getting signature for each and every one could take days off his delivery time.

 

When you can afford it I suggest sending off a sar and think about claiming compound interest. It was 17.9% when I claimed some time earlier this year which was quite respectable so I ended up making a profit. All the best.

Thanks MTM,

i erased all the data on photobucket before i posted it??Not sure what happened there?But thanks for looking out for it.

I have done it again, and hopefully it'll have worked now.

Also, i did end up scanning the images at 600 dpi, but the writing on the forms they sent me, is sooooo small already.

I know how to link now, and i read the FAQ's and the Dummie guide, but i still can't post attachments like for example pdf files.

Just found this at the bottom of my thread:

Posting Rules

You may not post attachments

How will i be able to change that?I have seen quite a few pdf files on here, so surely there is a way to do it.

Sorry again, i am really trying. :oops:

pt2537 kindly aswered to the above question on one of my other threads.

 

http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/store-cards/148011-jellybabe-argos-hubbys-account.html

 

I have now asked for the agreement within my S.A.R., which has been sent this morning.

Still not sure if i have to send the Non compliance letter re. CCA off or not?

I think i just leave it at that. After all, the charges should amount to a little bit. Now i am wondering how i'm gonna calculate the interest. I've got my spreadsheet from Steven4064's signature, i believe this is the right one??

Shall i just take the interest of the Argos website or would it be best to just leave it with just the charges. There are many different opinions out for the different type of interests, and if to claim it or not.

Just received my Statements....well, more like crytic printouts from argos.

I'm pretty sure the charges are stated on the "OTHER DB" section.

Do i just list anything in that section into my spreadie? As sometimes i can't make out if it's just charges or something else aswell?

I know that the charges are £12 each now, but sometimes it says £13.06 or £12.96 and so on. And i'm not sure if it is all charges and a little interest or if it is just a big bunch of interest.

sorry guys, just noticed i looked at the wrong section. Right, "FIN CHGS" i believe to be the Interest, And "OTHER DB" the actual charges.

Trying to get the right Spreadie now and then my Prelim will go out tomorrow.

Thanks sallysas,

did you use steven4064's spreadie?

I've got that one and it's so much easier to fill in than the other complex credit card one.

And the 17.9%...well, on my statement it says "Current Apr on purchases 27.9%". That's what i can see on the website aswell.

Reckon i should go for that one then? Or is it gonna be too much?

What do you think?

This is the one I used which UKAviator gave me. It may well be the same one Steven uses. My advice is to use the 27.9% if that is what it says on either your statements/webpage. It just happened to be the lower figure when I was claiming. Steven said to me months ago that it dosn't matter what % you use as this is about restitution so if you're wondering if you're being greedy I don't think so. Damm, wish I could have used that rate........... Edited by sallysas

Thanks again.

Sorry, link doesn't seem to work, but is it the one from the Templates Library?

I will give it a go and see which one works it out best.

I know, i thought it might be seen as unreasonable to use 27.9%, but after all that's what they charged me. So why shouldn't i?

By the way, Congrats on your win!

The link is working now but very slowly via megaload (I don't know - my sons did it for me) so either check with Steven or send a pm to ukaviator asking him for his spreadsheets as he has them for credit cards and current accounts. Sorry for being less than helpful.

Worked my Charges out and they owe me only about £240.

Still waiting for them to provide me with a CCA.Sent one initially and then again within my S.A.R.

Not received anything yet so far.

The one within the S.A.R. had been received by them on the 02/07/08, which means they still have quite a lot of time to reply regarding this. But i make it that they are now in Default (10+2 days). So i will be patiently waiting for another month. Saying that, the nr of phonecalls has gone down lately. I'm sure it won't last for long, still getting the Reminder letters.

Need some advice please.

1. I sent a letter on the 31st July to Argos stating that the account is in dispute as they haven't complied with my CCA request.

Today i received a letter of argos stating that they did comply and they do not consider the account in dispute.

Has anyone got a really good reply for me please that i could send??

All they sent me was the documents at the beginning of my thread, not even an application form.In my letter to them i stated that i will make reduced payments only until they supply me with my cca, as i only dispute the amount owed. They are well over the deadline now.

 

2. While i was waiting i was sending a prelim off to Argos asking for £265.69. I also received a reply to that today stating the following:

"In managing your account, you have failed to make payments as they fall due resulting in £514.50 being charged to your account in total. Would it be best to ask them how they made that amount up? I'm not sure if i missed that many charges, or they cocked it up on their system somewhere?

 

Some advice is very much appreciated. I'm going away early tuesday morning and would like to send them a reply. At least about the CCA problem.

Thank you.

Today i received a default notice from Argos giving me 14 days to pay my arrears.

I really need some advice now regarding this. Should i pay it? I don't want a default on my credit file.

But they haven't supplied my CCA yet and they keep sending me letters that they do not acknowledge the account in dispute.

I did ask for my CCA on the 20th June, so they are well past the deadline.

I'm panicking and i'm going on Hols tomorrow morning!

 

HELP please........

Hi I'm no expert but i think it is best to pay up now if you can afford it that way you will avoid a default then you can claim back your charges so it will even itself out if you see what I mean.

 

Argos are a pain about removing defaults as I'm discovering but I'm not giving up

 

Good luck :)
