    • 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.

Please excuse me if any of the questions I am gooing to ask have been asked before.

 

Just looking for validation before I take on these lovely people once more.

 

I had a lettter from Asset in October or November 2006, plus three or four phonecalls every day about a defaulted debt ith GE Money.

 

I followed the advice on here and sent the £1.00 fee and request for the credit agreement. Which I never received. Never heard from them again until last year. Told them I was still waiting for the above and then did not hear again until last week. Told them again the above and they said they would get something in the post.

 

Yesterday a week after taking the phone call,, I got a letter which says:

 

Dated 14 January

 

SALE OF YOUR DEBT

 

Vehicle Description: xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Vehicle Registration: xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

 

We, Asset Link Capital (no1) Linimted ("ALC"), hereby give notice or intimation that effective from 16 Octover 2006 GE Capital Bank Limited (t?a) GE Woodchester)assigned tous the benefit of the debt that you owe to them under an agreement with the reference number set out above("your debt"). We have appointed Link Financial Limited ("Link Financial") to administer and revcover your Debt on our behalf.

 

Point here is that I actually had a letter from Lowell originally saying that they were going to collect the debt and I did ignore them.

 

I phoned GE Money and the only thing that they would tell me at the time was that the account was defaulted and been passed on but they could not tell me who. I had missed two payments aI think and they would not let me catch up.

 

Cont

 

As a result of this assignment your debt is now owed to us, ALC and any payments should be made to "Asset Link Capital (No1) Limited", ath the address above. Please ensure that you quote the reference number xxxxx when remitting payment. (over my dead body) No further payments should be made to GE Capital Bank or GE Woodchester and any payment made by you to them will take signigecantly longer to process on to your account. During such time aditional recovery action may be taken by us.

 

THE TOTAL LIABILITY OUTSTANDING IS 37,950.69. tHE CAR was only £4000 to start with.

 

They go on to say

 

If we do not receive full payment of the debt and all contractual interest due under the contract within the following 15 days we may choose to pass your account to a Debt Collection Agency (I thought that was what they were) or a Solicitor, without further reference to yourself.

 

We may take Legal Action against you to :

either RECOVER THE VEHICLE for sale at AUCTION (when you will be liable to pay the shortfall) - theres goes my job.

 

recover the full balance by enforcement of a JUDGEMENT on an ASSETT or PROPERTY yuou may own. House is in my husbands name and the mortgage.

 

instruct BALIFFS to seize goods up to the value of the debt.

 

If we issue legal proceedings againdt you we will charge you an administration fee, which will be added to the balance of your account and you will be liable for any recoverable costs incurred,

 

 

Please contat an Account Officer at Link Financial on

Dear Sirs,

 

I write in response to your letter dated XXXXX

 

Your letter is incorrect and frivolous, you are fully aware of legally valid reasons why no payment has been made on this account, namely that the agreement which underpins this account has not been supplied despite a perfectly valid request and furthermore, it is suggested that notwithstanding the failure to supply a copy, the agreement itself is improperly executed, devoid of all prescribed terms and deficient in respect of detail relating to APR, total charge for credit and statements of rights ,remedies and protections as required by schedules 1,2 and 6 Consumer Credit Agreements Regulations 1983

 

Therefore the agreement as outlined in section 65 (1) Consumer Credit Act must be laid before the court to be granted an enforcement order before any further action can be taken

 

It is my view that the court would not grant such an order due to the deficiencies that I have outlined within the agreement, further more this has already been raised with (original creditor/previous DCA) yet the absence of any documents disproving my points itself speaks volumes

 

Therefore, I would indeed welcome the opportunity to place this before the court. furthermore should you proceed with the threats to issue a court claim I will make an immediate application to have it set aside for the grounds outlined above, also I shall refer the judge to this letter when the matter of costs falls due

 

 

I trust this outlines my position clearly enough for you

Full of the usual clues - words like MAY and COULD, not WILL

...RECOVER THE VEHICLE for sale...instruct BALIFFS to seize goods up to the value of the debt.

They CANNOT instruct bailiffs, only a court can do that, and they've not taken that path yet. They cannot just take a vehicle, consider it theft if they even try.

 

If you did a CCA in the past then you should now tell these monkeys that you are 'bemused' as to why they should contact you when the matter is already in dispute... Here's a letter to modify http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/debt-collection-industry/175840-halifax-problem.html#post1900426 - or do as 42man suggests in the post above...

Could I send both of the letters off

One of the other, but it would confuse the issue if you did both.

 

They could assume you don't really know what you are doing, and try to discredit you... Don't give them the ammo, I think the one from 42man is the punchiest in this case.

I replied with the letter that it was incorrect nd frivolos. Still have not received anything in writting but did get a couple of calls and advised would not discuss anything over the phone. Last call was this morning. Hello is that Sharon Emsden "Speaking" this is so and so from Link could you confirm your address and postcode please. "Goodbye" and hung up.

I asked them to send me a copy of the agreement that meant that they could take on this debt and have not received anything from them except threats and phone calls. ~Should I now ask them for a SAR to get everything they have on me with the intention of counter-claiming. They have not produced anything to prove that they actually have this account, and after a year of not hearing from them I had a clear out of paperwork and threw alot away.

 

Does anyone hae any suggestions as to my next course of action
