    • I plan to be honest to avoid any further trouble, tell them that the name should be changed to my official name
    • There is no evidence that I was issued a PCN that was placed on the car and removed. It seems that I was issued a £60 PCN on the 8th of March (the parking date) but it was never placed on my car, instead,  they allege that they posted the PCN on the 13th of March and deemed delivered on the 15th. I never got this 1st £60 PCN demand. I only know about all of this through the SAR. I only received the second PCN demanding £100, which was deemed delivered on 16/04/2024 - that is 39 days after the parking incident.  I did a little research and "Legislation states that postal PCNs must be sent within 28 days, unless otherwise stated in the Regulations." as per London Councils Code of Practice on Civil Parking Enforcement.  The main issue is that I was not aware of the 1st £60 PCN as I didn't receive it - I'm not sure how this relates to the 28-day rule because that rule applies to the initial £60 PCN. PCM could say that "we sent him the letter by post and it was deemed delivered on the 15th of March" therefore the 28-day rule does not apply.  As regards the safety of the parking attendant, that is clearly something he chose to feel and he made the decision that his safety was threatened - I didn't even see him or had any interaction with him. I'm nearly 50 and I definitely don't look aggressive 😊  
    • okay will do. I'll let you know if anything transpires but once again - many thanks
    • Personally I would strongly suggest not risking going there with debts. Very possible you wont get back out again. And I know many in that position. Not jailed just unable to leave. the stories of Interpol in other countries sounds far fetched but in and out of Dubai is not a good idea. only two weeks ago a mate got stopped albeit a govt debt.
    • BTW the time in and out is less than 10 mins, more than 5 in case that's relevant? I saw an article posted on here about a year ago a proposed legislation change but i don't know if that went through or not? I'm also a blue badge holder but there it was a regular parking spot.   Private parking fines to be capped at £50 WWW.BBC.CO.UK Drivers will also need to be given a grace period for lateness, as part of a crackdown on parking firms.

    • 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.

And Bryan Carter

Bryan Carter is a solicitor. He uses the Legal system. He should care.

 

 

Of course the previous statement made by me is only an opinion and may not be correct I could be completely wrong.

I blame Cag for putting Bryan Carter in their place, along with ndr and british Gas:p

 

I also blame Cag for giving me strength when I needed it, The support and advice that has helped through the most difficult and painful times. Nothing I could say could show how grateful I am :D

I know exactly what you mean. Above all, I realise now that the clowns who contact me are just that. Their threats and psuedo legal papers are just bottom-wipe material. I was terrified by the correspondence and 'phone calls I used to get. I'm not really gung ho enough to say "bring it on" (I hate that saying), but calls like this simply don't bother me any more and I rarely get them anyway.

 

What I have now is normality back in my life. If I get threatening letters I can now consider them for what they are worth. I haven't won every battle but I'm well up on balance. One day I will settle things correctly but as far as I'm concerned, it is first come, first served. In other words I will pay the ones with the correct agreements now. The rest will have to wait for the time being.

 

Regards.

Well done! Well Said!

Hi Creditcardmug! yes i was getting so depressed with all that debt and starting to dread answering the phone! and when i started to get loads of phonecalls at work that was the last straw! I did a search entering key words MBNA and bullying tactics! and got loads of links showing i was not the only one to be embarresed and humiliated at work and home!one of the first lnks i got was to this forum!At first i thought no way would i have the bottle to go through with CCA requests and challenging the enforceability of debts andas i did not have a very good start as as soon as i joined the forum i commited a faux paux! got accused of hijacking someones thread!though i was not conciously trying to hijack it just trying to commiserate with someone who had similar problem as me!so i though oh no id better delete my post !as i dont think i will be welcome on here so i edited it and tried to delete it but it kept comeing back! LOL i think fate meant me to find this forum !as straight afterward loads of wonderful people kept sending me messages on my thread and made me realise i would be welcome on forum!Thanks to these people who welcomed me when i first joined forum my life has now got a lot more bearable and given me a little hope!:)

Hi boavista, despite my number of threads I'm not really that knowledgable, so I just stick to what I know. More importantly, it's sometimes good just to give new posters some kind of response just to welcome them if nothing else.

 

I do know what you feel though, you don't want to cock it up because it's a real minefield and takes an awful lot of research and experience to get to the point that some people are at.

 

Regards.

Yes that's absolutely right ... I remember when I thought/felt that my posts were invisible - a few kind words made all the difference.

:D It suddenly dawned upon me that living in rented accomodation, having no job or savings and having very few realisable assets was a perfect situation to be in when dealing with DCAs ... I had nothing to loose by being a little impudent;)

 

At one point I wrote to all of my creditors saying that I was considering petitioning for my own bankruptcy. I offered nominal payments and with the exception of couple of them, they all accepted - payments I still maintain to this day!:)

I used to dread the postman calling and used to breathe a sigh of relief when he walked straight past my house, now I look forward to his calls but oddly now get disappointed when I don't get any correspondence from a DCA. There standard threat letters go on the ignore pile, or i use the back of them for shopping lists, well I have do to my bit for recycling. I am hoping for another stat demand, I had 2 earlier this year and missed the opportunity to go for set aside and get some costs. Come on DCA's where's my stat demand??:p

Evenin all, I'm hoping to be able to blame the cag if can be successful against mine & hubby's dca's!! :p Have just sent cca requests to all those that have 'bought'/'taken on' our acc's & am waiting to see what kind of reponse (if any) we may get. Is soo soo scary just standing in the postoffice asking for the postal orders to send etc, wondering whats gonna happen in the next stage, if u know what i mean, but also quite satisfying that i can log on tonight for instance, & have a chuckle upon reading this thread whilst feeling a lickle bit of pride & hope for the 1st time in i fon't know when!! (Corny or what !) Anyways, nuff of that! Just wanted to say thanks & keep doing what every1 is doing cos ur all doing us proud! :D Take care, Julie x

'Confidence grows & heartbeat slows to a steady stronger beat, as each member unites, against DCA fights & we all sail aboard the CAG fleet!' :rolleyes:
