    • 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.

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.

    • 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.

No company is entitled to your I & E details! Only a court can order disclosure of those ;)

 

Go to a citizen advice centre, THEY told me what to do, and I'm 25,000 in debt.

 

AND NO it's not just the courts.

 

I've been there ,done that ,so i KNOW what i'm saying.

I suggest you read that pdf again, it states;

Most creditors are willing to negotiate with you on payments providing that they have proof of your income and expenditure. Often this just involves sending the creditor a financial statement. It is always beneficial to also send each creditor a list of creditors. These documents show the creditor the difficulties you are experiencing.
That is a recommendation not a legal requirement.

If you were comfortable sending a I&E form and providing further information that a creditor has no legal entitlement to, then so be it. But the fact remains it is a matter of personal choice & not a legal requirement and if CAB have told you otherwise it wouldn't be the first time they have been wrong and certainly won't be the last. :rolleyes:

we all advocate paying what we can afford....sending a dca something they are not entitled to im afraid, is against the advice often given on this site...you want to play their games go ahead...personally i tell them what i can afford if they dont like it tough.....take me to court....funnily enough they never do...dont be surprised when they come back asking for more...if they have an ie they know exactly who you are paying and when...why would you want to give them any information on your income and expenses?

i went into default with littlewoods,they flatly refused my offer of £1 a month and have incurred what appear to be concocted £12 charges labled debt collection letter and goes on about the time trying to contact me,the contact account details were on the account and never had one email from them.

 

sent a cca request recorded delivery but this was not signed for possibly the post office not bothering with a signature had a letter back stating they cannot locate the original executed agreement (there was not one) and what appears to be a blank cca with the latest terms and conditions',certainly there was nothing like that when the account was opened,now passed to a dca called NDR,however this appears to be the same chelmsford address as littlewoods and back to "our client" quotes.

 

personally i wouldnt bother with them a pound is all their getting.they do try and get you to phone call and keep pestering to do so.

Well that's very interesting, as I've not had any direct contact with Littlewoods for any reason for a while but have always used their normal address based in Liverpool, along with NDR's.

As a result never even knew they'd relocated to Chelmsford.

 

 

had a letter back stating they cannot locate the original executed agreement (there was not one) and what appears to be a blank cca with the latest terms and conditions',certainly there was nothing like

Well, look on the bright side, if they can't and have admitted this in writing they can't enforce it through a court FAIK, but perhaps you should also send them the account in dispute letter now for continuing to collect whilst not in possession of one. It also makes it easier for when NDR eventually does pass it to a proper DCA which will usually be after a few more months of not getting replies to their letters (they will keep adding £12 BTW, and have been known to add these charges simply for phoning someone and then claiming that counts as a letter charge by you not responding) when telling them to get lost in the letter reminding them they can't pursue the debt without a CCA, which Littlewoods already told you in writing didn't exist. At some point they may also try their other favourite trick, to get you to take a loan out, but also thus doubling the debt ... this is one of their favourites if you phone them BTW, I phoned NDR once (before I stopped talking to these people altogether by phone) and was almost caught out by a leading question that had I said 'yes' to in the heat of the moment he would have then said I'd 'agreed' to taking that loan out to cover the payment. Even lied and said my papers were one someone's desk and he could see them when I queried why I'd had no response to my I/E forms or other letters. Which I'd sent months before of course, to which he had no reply. They are very good at 'spin'. Or think they are.

 

Littlewoods have just pulled the Blue Peter trick by supplying you with a blank one with current terms and conditions. They know it, but are relying on people not knowing and taking advantage of people at the same time.

well, i have to agree that the creditor is not ENTITLED to a I % E disclosure, nor is there any legal obligation for you to do so.

 

however.......... lets get a reality check here

 

if you SERIOUSLY think that offering £1 per month on a debt and not being prepared to give reasonable proof to the creditor of your circumstances in asking them to accept such payments............. then i sincerly hope that the matter does not eventually make it to a county court - because if it does i can GUARANTEE you that if your instransigence is brought to the attention of the judge you will get your donkey well and truly fillited in orders for costs- probably even if you win!

 

why - because your behaviour will be (rightly) deemed by the judge

to be totally and wholly unreasonable.

 

IMO

Well said Diddydicky.

 

That's the whole point of sending a I & E disclosure, to PROVE you have no disposable income, otherwise, as you say the COURTS WILL come down heavy, VERY HEAVY on people who are NOT willing to pay their debt.

 

Sending I & E disclosures is a way of proof that you have fallen on bad times, and your finances are stretched to the limit. Your home comes first, so paying rent, or mortgages, council tax, utility bills, food, etc are PRIORITY, Debt is last to be paid off. NOBODY GETS SENT TO JAIL FOR DEBT, PERIOD. Courts are the LAST RESORT for debt payment, if your not willing to prove I & E. If you've NOTHING to hide, WHY LIE.

 

 

Oh cerberusalert CAB are not wrong, it was all done with a LEGAL DEBT ADVISER PRESENT.

What is a 'legal debt adviser'?

 

And more to the point, who was he / she biased towards??

 

They aint got an agreement, sooo until they produce one, you dont have any legal reason to pay even the £1 you propose.

If youve requested the documentation via the correct way (CPR) and theyve failed to produce that documentation, then IMHO, the court has very limited powers, even if they try that route.

 

They may well give you an unsigned doc, with all the terms and conditions that suit THEM.

Maybe when you opened an account ( allegedly ), they offered you 2 grand and free booze and women ( or men) for a year. Who knows?

Its all hearsay.

well, they would indeed be VERY wrong if they sought to persuade you that this was a legal requirement- it is not

 

i have never heard of a "legal debt adevisor" - perhaps you mean it is a CAB adviser who advises on legal and debt matters!!

 

no matter if they were the lord cheif justice- the fact remains that there is no legal obligation- just common sense

 

and my comments were ONLY MADE due to the seriously low offer of repayments being made

Joe Longthorne fined in court - Blackpool Today

 

This was for NOT giving financial information to the Department of Work and Pensions. The COURT wasn't involved at this stage.

 

What relevance does this have to the thread?

 

If you read the story, it is about Longthorne declaring payments to an employee (his personal assistant) and not about I&E - this is in relation to employers and employees; not debt.

the ndr address is on the back of the letter sandringham house chelmsford as was the undelivered from littlewoods statements although the ndr letter appears to be a harlow PO box itself,i requested the cca from the bootle address,the shop direct finance address appears under the sandringham house chelmsford,the debt is in dispute because of the charges,an account in dispute letter is called for i think however the recommendation by some is just stop paying.

 

not giving information to the dwp which is a government department related to benefits is potentially serious.

not some skid patch dca.

Yes, I know that ... but what I was saying was I didn't know they had moved but yes the account in dispute letter as I said is in order here. Otherwise they will (and they will almost surely do it anyway) is to send it now then later on you have that in place when it gets passed to a real DCA (which NDR isn't they are Littlewoods/Empires/Kay/Shop Direct's collections department). No agreement - not enforceble. So what I was saying to you was perhaps put things in place now for later on. Yes, you can stop paying but for later on always a good idea to have a papertrail as I am sure you will appreciate. If they tried taking it further I am talking about BTW, eg court without an agreement. Edited by Cartaphilus

If you KNOW you owe the money,and nothing to hide, why WAIT to go to court, where it all has to come out in the end. Plus all the court charges added on.

 

So why wait, when sending a simple I&E will settle it all.
