    • If you have not kept the original PCN you can always send an SAR to Excel and they have to send you all the info they have on you within a month. failure to do so can lead to you being able to sue them for their failure.......................................nice irony.
    • Thank you and well done  for posting up all those notices it must have have taken you ages.. The entrance sign is very helpful since the headline states                    FREE PARKING FOR CUSTOMERS ONLY in capitals with not time limit mentioned. Underneath and not in capitals they then give the actual times of parking which would not be possible to read when driving into the car park unless you actually stopped and read them. Very unlikely especially arriving at 5.30 pm with possibly other cars behind. On top of that the Notice goes on to say that the terms and conditions are inside the car park so the entrance sign cannot offer a contract it is merely an offer to treat. Inside the car park the signs are mostly too high up and the font size too small to be able to read much of their signs. DCBL have not shown a single sign that can be read on their SAR. Although as they show photographs which were taken the year after your alleged breach we do not know what the signs were when you were there. For instance the new signs showed the charge was then £100 whereas your PCN was for £85. Who knows, when you were there perhaps the time was for 3 hours. They were asked to produce  planning permission which would have been necessary for the ANPR cameras alone and didn't do so. Nor did they provide a copy of the contract-DCBL  "deeming them disproportionate or not relevant to the substantive issues in the dispute" How arrogant and untruthful is that? The contract and planning permission could be vital to having the claim thrown out. I can find no trace of planning permission for the signs nor the cameras on Tonbridge Council planning portal. and the contract of course is highly relevant since some contracts advise the parking rouges that they cannot take motorists to Court. I understand that Europarks are now running that car park which means that nexus didn't  last long before being thrown out.....................................

    • 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.

Hi Underdog

 

Thanks for your post.

 

So I cannot write to them and ask them not to apply charges? I am going to write anyway because the phonecalls are getting ridiculous now.

 

I wasn't aware of the insurance for loss of rent in time to take it out on that tenant but I since have done with all my other tenants.

 

You can write to them, but in all likelihood, they will keep adding the charges.

Thanks Underdog!

 

I am learning fast with all this!

 

It makes me more mad the more I learn but also makes me tougher. I WILL fight them all the way (with everyones help please!!).

 

We work so hard every day, my other half is so exhausted after working all weekend (and a physical weekday job) he fell asleep by the time I put our kids to bed tonight (8 o'clock). Why should we give in to these crooks?

 

I just need to keep on top of it all and learn a little each day. One day we will be in a better place and I will be in a position to help others in similar situations.

I'm not sure what you mean about hardship claims but when we had the A&L account we weren't receiving any benefits or anything. Does that make a difference?

 

Hi Esile,

 

Bank charges reclaims can go back for 6 years, and because you are in hardship NOW I think you can make a claim and not have it stayed. Again not something I have done myself (yet!) but lots of help here.

 

Best, MG

I will have a look but I don't think I have any bank charges in the last 6 years.

 

I've never missed a payment on anything, that's why I'm in this mess. When I couldn't afford to pay it I just kept borrowing, thinking life would be over when the day came that I couldn't pay!

 

Absolutely sick of the phone calls now! Do they really think if I haven't answered the phone so far I am honestly going to answer it in two minutes time?! OBVIOUSLY BECAUSE THAT IS HOW OFTEN THEY CALL!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

I am going to have a look for a template letter to send Barclaycard re there attempt at fobbing me off with t and c's from 1997. I don't really know what to do about Sky. It would appear that it is enforceable so I don't know what to do. Being that, that is the only one we have had back so far I am tempted to pay it this month but not sure if I'm just making things worse if I pay them and not one of the others. (I think I have read somewhere that sky is part of barclaycard and they are the worst for telephone harrassment! If they find out I have the money to pay sky will that make them call me more?!)

 

Anyway thanks for your continued support I'm off to find a template letter.

Hi

 

It is all happening here!

 

We have had several responses to our cca request today. I have started new threads for each one if someone could have a look I would be really grateful.

I have also had a reply from my partners monument. It is the same as my monument posted on here yesterday so I am not going to post it, I will treat it the same as my one.

 

Everyone's advice and support is very helpful and important to me. Without you guys I would be in a very dark place right now. As things stand I'm still living and breathing (therefore fighting!) and I feel like there is hope so thank you x

Hi MG

 

We're doing ok - thanks for asking!

 

The phone calls haven't got any lighter, I have sent a couple of harrassment letters out to the cards I've had to write to in the last week and when I send the rest of them the letter to say they haven't responded in the 12 +2 days I will be including an harrassment letter to them too. I hope that is going to stop some of them!

 

I am still keeping a diary of all calls. 18 calls on sunday from Barclaycard is a bit much even if I am in a good mood!

 

We've had 7 out of 30 responses, one has been enforceable, three have been original agreements that don't look enforceable and the other three have been just terms and conditions.

 

The hardest part now is the waiting. I like to know where I stand and we don't really have a chance of that for a very long time but compared to the pressure we have been living under for the last year trying to meet these monthly payments and getting further and further into debt this is nowhere near as stressful.

 

I am keeping this thread updated as and when I hear anything hoping it might give someone else some hope.

 

Your support is appreciated as always

Hi there,

 

Keep going, you're getting some great advice on your threads from other members who have been here a lot longer than I have.

 

Just takes some time to get sorted and to see exactly how the land lies.

 

Regards,

Hi Elsie, just a quick word of support:) you're doing great, on the bank charges thingy, you can claim back charges beyond six years if you can get hold of the statements, hopefully you've kept them, if not you can sar the bank for them but you have to make it clear you want ALL info they hold, no matter how old the info is.

hope this helps, and keep your chin up, you're sounding stronger each time you post:D

OK I GIVE IN

Thanks C Allen

 

I'm only stronger because of what I have learned from this site and because everyone is so great!

 

I also, in a very strange way, feel so much weight has been lifted from my shoulders because I am no longer trying to find an extra 4k each month to pay these faceless credit cards and no longer fearing the postman coming each day in case it's another reducing my limit and making it even harder for me!

 

Now I know it's going to be a long haul but at least there is hope whereas before the only hope I had was in the mortgage brokers hands and they all let us down so many times I coldn't be hopeful any longer!

 

Now I look forward to the post!!

 

The only thing in today's post was a reply from HSBC. They are still saying they need a signature before they can send out any information!!

 

So we are going to sign but not the usual and see where that gets us.

Hi Guys!

 

I have lots of questions for you lovely people tonight after todays post!!!

 

I have had a 2nd response to HSBC, they are still saying they will not send cca until we sign the form to request it. The crazy thing is we have a bank account with them so if they just wanted a copy of our signature they could easily get it from elsewhere!

 

So what do we do? Can we just ignore the letter and tell them the account is in dispute because they have not supplied it as we requested? Or should we sign it but not with the usual signature? Or should we send another letter?

 

Here's a copy of their latest letter AC HSBC pictures by cupcake62 - Photobucket

 

Next...

 

M and S have sent this letter re cca request AC MandS pictures by cupcake62 - Photobucket

 

any suggestions?

 

next...

 

Virgin have sent me this today EC Virgin pictures by cupcake62 - Photobucket

 

Is this a dca or are they part of virgin?

 

What should I do about it?

 

Similarly o/h has received this from his mbna TC MBNA pictures by cupcake62 - Photobucket

 

so the same questions apply for this one?

 

Thanks for any advice you may be able to give me.

FWIW Esile,

 

I would do nothing they should know the law and the clock is running.

I think that we spend too much effort writing to these people advising them what the law states. I cannot believe that they are prepared to threaten court action if they have no agreement and it is time that they were taught a lesson.

Hi Folks!

 

Just an update really.

 

I have today sent an account in dispute to all those that have not bothered replying to my letter and also to some of those that have sent the silly excuse letters.

 

I guess now I just sit back and wait to see what responses we get.

 

Is there anything else I shouold be doing?

 

I am so grateful for everyones help I cannot believe how liberated I feel, after feeling like I was carrying the weight of the world on my shoulders so thank you. I know things are going to take a long time to come to an end but at least I have hope now!

Hi

 

Well I enjoyed a couple of days of peace except for the phone ringing of course but we've turned it down so low now I hardly notice it!!

 

Today we have had a reply from monument re my "your agreement is unenforceable" letter which I will post in a mo on the monument thread.

 

We have also had the next chase letter from Nationwide. Slightly concerned about it because it mentions they have the right to withdraw any other nationwide account. Our mortgage is with Nationwide and we now know we will not be able to get another!

 

Is this just a scare tactic?

 

Am I right in saying they would have to get a repossession order to withdraw my mortgage?

 

I know they are trying to scare me to win this battle but I do need to understand it!

 

Thanks for anyones advice
