    • One other point to note, the more I read, the more I study, the more proficient I feel I am becoming in this area. Make no mistake DBCL if you are reading this, when I win in court, if I have the grounds to make any claims against you, such as breach of GDPR, I shall be doing so.
    • Yep, I read that and thought about trying to find out what the consideration and grace period is at Riverside but not sure I can. I know they say "You must tell us the specific consideration/grace period at a site if our compliance team or our agents ask what it is"  but I doubt they would disclose it to the public, maybe I should have asked in my CPR 31.14 letter? Yes, I think I can get rid of 5 minutes. I am also going to include a point about BPA CoP: 13.2 The reference to a consideration period in 13.1 shall not apply where a parking event takes place. I think that is Deception .... They giveth with one hand and taketh away with the other!

    • the Town and Country [advertisments ] Regulations 2007 are not easy to understand. Most Council planing officials don't so it's good that you found one who knows. Although he may not have been right if the rogues have not been "controlling" in the car park for that long. The time only starts when the ANPR signs go up, not how long the area has been used as a car park.   Sadly I have checked Highview out and they have been there since at least 2014 . I have looked at the BPA Code of Practice version 8 which covers 2023 and that states Re Consideration and Grace Periods 13.3 Where a parking location is one where a limited period of parking is permitted, or where drivers contract to park for a defined period and pay for that service in advance (Pay & Display), this would be considered as a parking event and a Grace Period of at least 10 minutes must be added to the end of a parking event before you issue a PCN. It then goes on to explain a bit more further down 13.5 You must tell us the specific consideration/grace period at a site if our compliance team or our agents ask what it is. 13.6 Neither a consideration period or a grace period are periods of free parking and there is no requirement for you to offer an additional allowance on top of a consideration or grace period. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________So you have  now only overstayed 5 minutes maximum since BPA quote a minimum of 10 minutes. And it may be that the Riverside does have a longer period perhaps because of the size of the car park? So it becomes even more incumbent on you to remember where the extra 5 minutes could be.  Were you travelling as a family with children or a disabled person where getting them in and out of the car would take longer. Was there difficulty finding a space, or having to queue to get out of the car park . Or anything else that could account for another 5 minutes  without having to claim the difference between the ANPR times and the actual times.

    • 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 would have to get another morgage on the property and he would not agree to this, so i could not borrow the money to pay the creditors off even at 50% reduction

He is making life so difficult here, we live in 60 degrees as he wont turn the heating up, we have no food in the house, so we dont eat and he keeps sorting his money out when i am around, he has about 40k in the bank and keeps going on about his interest on his savings etc so making me very depressed.

I would get professional advice on your finances asap Littleduck before you make any decision on what to do with your £60k

 

If you took your £60k and bought a little 2 bed house for about that amount and then went bankrupt you may be allowed to keep your new little house by the OR due to your child at home BUT you would need proper advice from a professional on that one.....just a thought

Hi Littleduck :)

Thanks for the support, much appreciated. Listen to what advice you are getting on here - and I would make my first port of call to phone one of the national debtlines ASAP..or CAB and make an appointment. I can't advise on property as I am in rented accomodation. But Brent is right, you MUST contact one of these debtlines FIRST.

Try CCCS or CAB there are web addresses I think at the start of my threads from other more knowledgable caggers. Sequenci is very good with advice too, PM him and he will read your thread and give you solid advice, he has helped me in all of this. Good luck and I should be telling you off for highjacking my thread...lol...;)but I won't, glad my story has helped you though. Thanks again and take care.:D

Hi all :D

UPDATE

Well it's over a month now that I was declared B/R. I have had a few letters - nothing major. Just advised them of my Bankrupcy and left it at that. I am still paying tax, but not too worried as I understand the Official Receivers are extremely busy ( Not suprised given the economic climate at the mo!)

 

I have had a WHOLE WEEK with NO post.....now that feels strange, even weird.....lol...but I do feel better for going ahead with my B/R.

However, I do wish that I listened to CAB years ago and went B/R then instead of trying to battle on and on, giving myself ill health and stress, but hey ho, hindsight is a wonderful thing.

 

To all those going through the B/R route and stressing out, please be kind to yourself and try to stay calm - if I can do this so can YOU!

I would like to take this opportunity to wish you ALL on here a very very

peaceful and happy Christmas and I hope 2009 is a better year for ALL.

 

Love - Luck - Laughter Always:D

Hi,

 

Just spent a good few hours reading through this thread. I got a letter from Do Debt this morning saying they wanted to declare me bankrupt for a debt they have bought over from Yes Car Credit. The account was opened in 2003, and they took the car back in Jan 05. this is teh 1st contact I have had from anyone since then. I have spoken to Go debt and they have offered a settlememt of £2k on the balance of £3.9k, but the want it by 31/12/08. there is not a cat in hells chance of me getting that sort of cash. The letter states that an OR would be appointed and my house sold.

 

I jointly own the house with my wife, and the mortgage and sec loan combined is £134k, with the house value at approx £127. I am very very stressed that I am going to loose my home. I spoke to someone from the national debt line and they advised me to send a CCA letter, which I have done.

 

Can anyone offer any further advice? When the car was taken back I asked the collection agent if i needed to do anything else. He said no, thats you done, all finished, sign here please.

 

How can they surface out of the blue like this after 4 years. also i asked Go debt if can could make an arrangement, the refused.. HELP !!!!

Hi Jokerdisco :) and welcome.

Firstly thanks reading my thread.

Also may I suggest starting your own thread hun, then you will receive the proper answers that you are looking for. My case is different from yours as I do not own property, however my ex hubs did take out finance for a newish car in 2000? I told the company to take the car back and I could not afford the payments. They hounded me for years with threats, but as I do not have property they didn't threaten me with Bankrupcy! I included this company in my own B/R, just so no other debt collection company can chase me for it years down the line. Sorry I cannot assist anymore but if you start your own thread then someone with more knowledge on the subject will pop in and help you. Keep calm and try not to worry - easy for me to say I know, but I have been to hell and back with financial pressures (to the point of suicidal!).

Take care and take care of each other.

Sugar x x :D
