    • Thank you for posting up the results from the sar. The PCN is not compliant with the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012 Schedule 4. Under Section 9 [2][a] they are supposed to specify the parking time. the photographs show your car in motion both entering and leaving the car park thus not parking. If you have to do a Witness Statement later should they finally take you to Court you will have to continue to state that even though you stayed there for several hours in a small car park and the difference between the ANPR times and the actual parking period may only be a matter of a few minutes  nevertheless the CEL have failed to comply with the Act by failing to specify the parking period. However it looks as if your appeal revealed you were the driver the deficient PCN will not help you as the driver. I suspect that it may have been an appeal from the pub that meant that CEL offered you partly a way out  by allowing you to claim you had made an error in registering your vehicle reg. number . This enabled them to reduce the charge to £20 despite them acknowledging that you hadn't registered at all. We have not seen the signs in the car park yet so we do not what is said on them and all the signs say the same thing. It would be unusual for a pub to have  a Permit Holders Only sign which may discourage casual motorists from stopping there. But if that is the sign then as it prohibits any one who doesn't have a permit, then it cannot form a contract with motorists though it may depend on how the signs are worded.
    • Defence and Counterclaim Claim number XXX Claimant Civil Enforcement Limited Defendant XXXXXXXXXXXXX   How much of the claim do you dispute? I dispute the full amount claimed as shown on the claim form.   Do you dispute this claim because you have already paid it? No, for other reasons.   Defence 1. The Defendant is the recorded keeper of XXXXXXX  2. It is denied that the Defendant entered into a contract with the Claimant. 3. As held by the Upper Tax Tribunal in Vehicle Control Services Limited v HMRC [2012] UKUT 129 (TCC), any contract requires offer and acceptance. The Claimant was simply contracted by the landowner to provide car-park management services and is not capable of entering into a contract with the Defendant on its own account, as the car park is owned by and the terms of entry set by the landowner. Accordingly, it is denied that the Claimant has authority to bring this claim. 4. In any case it is denied that the Defendant broke the terms of a contract with the Claimant. 5. The Claimant is attempting double recovery by adding an additional sum not included in the original offer. 6. In a further abuse of the legal process the Claimant is claiming £50 legal representative's costs, even though they have no legal representative. 7. The Particulars of Claim is denied in its entirety. It is denied that the Claimant is entitled to the relief claimed or any relief at all.

    • 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 have been over my £200 by about £50 for a while and I was making payments online via debit card.

 

They carried on adding the £12 each month for being over my limit, then out of the blue they denied me online access.

 

I telephoned them up and they said I could not have online access as I was over my limit which I explained was a load of cr*p given I have been over the limit for approx 6 months and was just clearing the interest payments that they were adding on.

 

The problem being is because they outsource their call centres to a foreign country they didnt seem to understand what I was trying to say and in the end I got nowhere and they just kept telling me to pay the over limit.

 

Anyway to cut a long story short, I stopped paying them as I couldnt access my account online, they have continued to add charges to my account and I have written a letter of complaint as I am not happy with the way I have been treated - this letter was sent way before Christmas and havent heard anything back other than a "thank you, we will be in touch shortly".

 

I have now received a default notice and I telephoned them up asking to discuss a payment plan. They wanted a payment of £150 which is clearly made up of charges and this would help bring the balance down - think its now around the £400 as they keep adding these £12 charges each month plus interest etc.

 

Anyway, as I do not have access to my online account anymore, I have received paper statements either so have no way of knowing what they are charging me what payment needs to be made or anything!

 

I have no issues in paying the money BUT I want access to my account, I want to either receive online statements or paper statements and to get the default removed due to their inability to communicate this has been wrongly added - albeit their argument will no doubt be something to do with the fact I havent paid - but as I don't have access to my online account, surely that is grounds for a row!

 

Any help or standard letter to send them would be very much appreciated.

 

Thanks again.

I am in exactly the same position as you. I have been told I must contact the head office if I want to complain, as there is nothing more they can do for me over the telephone.

 

And head office doesn't have a telephone number - what if I said I couldn't write?! :rolleyes:

 

Surely every department must be contactable by telephone, not that I WANT to speak to the smug bleeps :-|

Ok so to update, I have now received a default notice from Crap 1 and have received a letter from Debitas, who, guess, what yep they outsource their calls to a foreign call centre as well.

 

I replied to their letter immediately requesting a signed copy of the Credit Agreement, to date nothing has come back.

 

I got home this evening to have another letter from them demanding that I call them otherwise within 7 days someone will be knocking at my door! Its clearly a standard printed letter, but I rang them anyway and got through to someone I could hardly understand.

 

I tried to explain that only £300 of this is mine and that the other £150 is unfair charges, however, he said he knew nothing of this and that the debt was with Capital One and I would need to speak with them.

 

They want a standing order payment of £17 a week over the next 24 weeks to clear this debt, yet this will include the £150 charges if I was to pay at this rate for the 24 weeks.

 

Why are Crap 1 so bloody crap at replying to letters? I will start the standing order payments, but I will make payments on MY terms and to which I can afford each week - £10 a week is what they will be getting! I have just had to take a pay cut so they can go forth and multiply!

 

Can I just alter the payment plan as I see fit? Is there another standard letter I can send? I have sent the CCA request and request a full breakdown of these charges which I am still waiting to hear back from?

 

Thanks

Why don't you simply send then a SAR, they'll send you all your statements, you can work out your charges and start your claim there and then. Once they repay the charges, your account will be way back down again and you can proceed with paying off what you owe them and all will be well. Wouldn't that be simpler? :-?

Hi, the £1 cheque cleared today to request a copy of the CCA.

 

If they have one, what is the next step? They have put charges on this account so can I just ask for a breakdown of charges or will I need to pay for this request?

 

Any help greatly appreciated, thanks

Thanks - can you point me in the direction of the dispute letter as well please and I will send it to these cowboys today.

 

Also, can I get the default removed that CRAP ONE has placed on me whilst this is in dispute?

 

Thanks

I have today received their printed leaflet of their agreement, but this cant be the correct one given there is no space to put a signature.

 

I have also received a standard printed letter with my name and address at the top and to the right hand side my credit limit and account number. Again, on the other side is a list of their credit agreement, with space for a signature, but NO signature of mine, which makes me think this letter is just a freshly printed blank copy.

 

I have also received a covering letter from them that states "please find enclosed a copy of your credit agreement as requested. In accordance with Section 78 of the blah blah blah. This is your original agreement, and if any terms have been varied then the copy agreement will include the updated terms. In addition, your personal details, the signature box, signature and date of signature have been omitted from the copy provided as permitted under Regulation 3 of the Consumer Credit (Cancellation Notices and Copy Documents) Regulations 1983.

 

it also states in the letter than under Section 78 they do not have to provide me with a copy of the default notice.

 

Ok so they have provided me with COPIES and not originals, so where do I go from here please?

 

Thanks

I am not quite sure. They did manage to send me the original agreement I signed, which seems to be all there and correct terms etc..

 

... my argument is they can't default me because of all the unfair charges. I hope that is correct.

 

 

This has to be without any shadow of doubt, the most incompetent company I have ever in my life come across, in terms of the stupidest call centre staff anywhere. :mad:

Hi Loo,

 

Can you post up what they have sent you so the experts can have a look. If this is an old account I'd be surprised if it is enforceable. Are you on Sunflower's or Beachcomber's threads? There is a lot of info there.

 

I haven't even started a capone thread yet as all they sent me was bit of paper with a signature box, but it's clear from the agreements posted on their threads that capone is all over the place, implying terms were on the back of the applications when they clearly weren't, conditions referred to which aren't there, and so on.

 

At some point Capone are going to have to let someone see their original agreements, which we have a right to do. Sunflower has asked to 'visit' hers, and been ignored. In fact, a group of us thought we'd go together and have a day out in Nottingham.

 

While it is in dispute you don't have to pay them anything.

Whilst I think of it, I havent been able to access my account online since August 2008 plus I have NOT received statements even though I have received various chasing letters.

 

Is this any ammunition to get the default removed?

I must warn people.. they pulled my original signed agreement from 2005 out meanwhile fobbing me off with a generic rubbishy one!!

 

So just to let people know, they might send you a true copy but they may also have the original there. I managed to request mine over the phone!

 

It is a double sided one, although I have been sent it in two pages.

 

The only thing possibly unenforceable on it is the fact there is a tick box for PPI and not a separate agreement.
