    • What do you guys think the chances are for her?   She followed the law, they didnt, then they engage in deception, would the judge take kindly to being lied to by these clowns? If we have a case then we should proceed and not allow these blatant dishonest cheaters to succeed 
    • I have looked at the car park and it is quite clearly marked that it is  pay to park  and advising that there are cameras installed so kind of difficult to dispute that. On the other hand it doesn't appear to state at the entrance what the charge is for breaching their rules. However they do have a load of writing in the two notices under the entrance sign which it would help if you could photograph legible copies of them. Also legible photos of the signs inside the car park as well as legible photos of the payment signs. I say legible because the wording of their signs is very important as to whether they have formed a contract with motorists. For example the entrance sign itself doe not offer a contract because it states the T&Cs are inside the car park. But the the two signs below may change that situation which is why we would like to see them. I have looked at their Notice to Keeper which is pretty close to what it should say apart from one item. Under the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012 Schedule 4 Section 9 [2]a] the PCN should specify the period of parking. It doesn't. It does show the ANPR times but that includes driving from the entrance to the parking spot and then from the parking place to the exit. I know that this is a small car park but the Act is quite clear that the parking period must be specified. That failure means that the keeper is no longer responsible for the charge, only the driver is now liable to pay. Should this ever go to Court , Judges do not accept that the driver and the keeper are the same person so ECP will have their work cut out deciding who was driving. As long as they do not know, it will be difficult for them to win in Court which is one reason why we advise not to appeal since the appeal can lead to them finding out at times that the driver  and the keeper were the same person. You will get loads of threats from ECP and their sixth rate debt collectors and solicitors. They will also keep quoting ever higher amounts owed. Do not worry, the maximum. they can charge is the amount on the sign. Anything over that is unlawful. You can safely ignore the drivel from the Drips but come back to us should you receive a Letter of Claim. That will be the Snotty letter time.

    • Yes, it was, but in practice we've found time after time that judges will not rule against PPCs solely on the lack of PP.  They should - but they don't.  We include illegal signage in WSs, but more as a tactic to show the PPC up as spvis rather than in the hope that the judge will act on that one point alone. But sue them for what?  They haven't really done much apart from sending you stupid letters. Breach of GDPR?  It could be argued they knew you had Supremacy of Contact but it's a a long shot. Trespass to your vehicle?  I know someone on the Parking Prankster blog did that but it's one case out of thousands. Surely best to defy them and put the onus on them to sue you.  Make them carry the risk.  And if they finally do - smash them. If you want, I suppose you could have a laugh at the MA's expense.  Tell them about the criminality they have endorsed and give them 24 hours to have your tickets cancelled and have the signs removed - otherwise you will contact the council to start enforcement for breach of planning permission.

    • 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.

MBNA card since early 2001.

 

They have sent a copy of the application form it has my signature and date on it along with my personal details.

 

I have scanned in the second page and enlarged the print on the right hand side on scan 3,4 ,5 to allow it to be read.

 

Not sure if this is the genuine page 2 . It has a date of 12/00 at the bottom of page two which ties up.

 

Comments and suggestions welcome.

 

Thanks

Ron

Holley,

If you follow these instructions you should have no problem.

 

It seems tricky at first, but is fairly simple really.

 

1, Scan your DCA letter/whatever you want to show on the forum.

Ideal setting is 100dpi as it's closest to computer monitor display resolution.

 

2, Save the scanned image as a jpeg

Step 2.5 Edit out any personal information, barcodes or any other comments, notes or markings around the edge of the document. Never change the original document you received

2.5, Load the saved image into MS Paint. (comes free with Windows.) Use the pain brush or spray can to remove/paint over any personal info, such as name, account number, address, etc. Also remove any barcodes, as some DCAs may be able to identify you from these.

 

3, Create an account on Photobucket.

 

4, Once you have a Photobucket account, you'll find on the main webpage little box where you can upload photos. Click the "upload image" box and then tell it where on your hard disk you saved your scanned jpeg. It will then upload the image to Photobucket and it will show you thumbnails of the images you have uploaded. Under each image there are links that you can copy and paste.

 

5, Copy the IMG link below the image you want to put on the forum. Then reply to thread on CAG. Right click with the mouse and select "paste" from the little menu that pops up.

 

6, You'll then get some text appear in your message that looks a bit like this.

 

imagename.jpg{\IMG

 

When you submit the reply, the text will change into the image you uploaded onto photobucket. The text you copied and pasted is just the information the forum needs, so it knows where to find your photo and display it in your message.

I'm not at all convinced that the T&Cs are part of that form, but can't really tell.

 

If you look at the top image there is a certain amount of 'bleed through' caused when the document was scanned....similar to holding a letter up to the light and you can see the print on the reverse.....does that bleed through match the T&Cs? If it does I'm afraid it would be enforceable.

I think this might be my scanner.

 

They have printed page 1 on the front of one page and page two on the reverse.

 

Page 1 is certainly genuine.

 

It seems odd page 1 has an even black border around the edge and page two has a thick black line down the left edge only.

 

Do they have to produce the original in court ?

 

Thanks Cerebus.

Cerbus thanks for taking the time to look at this for me.

 

So is this copy enforceable ?

 

Obviously if the T&Cs have been pasted on its not.

 

But if its genuine is it enforceable?

I think there is a conflict in the codes at the bottom of page 2

 

small detail says 12/00 but the LA code seems to indicate a date of 04 / 01

 

This looks iffy to me .

 

I have a similar CCA from 1998 and the LA code on mine represents the date

I have been to see a firm of solicitors who are known to me to be honest and straight forward.

 

They have a barister who has had a look at my 'agreements'.

 

One of the first things he noticed on this one is that it does not set out who is party to the loan.

 

If you look at most agreements the first thing set out is this agreement is between 1. Debtor ( you and your address ) and 2 . Creditor ( name and address of bank / CCC )

 

This MBNA does not have this so this is a flaw.

 

Also he is going to test the apr's , if they are more than 0.1% out it makes it totally unenforceable.

 

He told me that the cca 1974 is more of a shield than a sword , which makes sense to me.

 

He can ask for opinion from a chap called Phillips ( I think ) I ggogled him and he was involved in defending the banks in the Rankine case. So although he was defending them then , he can I suppose defend / help anyone he likes.

 

One bit of advice if you dont want to do this yourself is go with someone regulated by the law society and not the Ministry of Justice , I believe you are better protected.

 

Anyway as I go along I will post up anything I think will help others. I am using the truecall system to block calls and have found it very effective and easy to use.

 

I have seen a few threads relating to the morals of challenging agreements. Had the CCC's kept to the rates that were first applied to my accounts ie 6.9% or 8.9% I would not be in the position I am now. They have all increased the rates above 30%. So its their greed that have forced me to take action. And most of them will getting nothing from me. Had they stuck to the original rates I would be still paying.

Ron,

 

thanks for posting this - I'm waiting for a response from MBNA at the moment, so it will be interesting to see how similar it is to yours, if at all.

 

Regarding threads about the morality of challenging agreements - I haven't seen any, but I take the same line as you - the banks seems to be the most immoral and corrupt orgainisations around.

 

Regards,

 

Mike

Hi Ron,

 

I would also be unsure if those codes are right as I too thought they were supposed to represent the date as Summerbreeze has said....

 

One thing though, Summerbreeze - what does the LA mean please?

Hi Ron,

 

If I were you I would get rid of the barcodes on your form. If you're feeling mischievous, you could replace them with one which you can generate yourself here: Free Online Barcode Generator

 

You can be as rude as you like!

 

Regards.

Hi All

 

Just had a letter from Experto Credite saying they have bought the interest od MBNA so Varde Investments is now the legal owner of the debt!

 

The CCA is pasted earlier and has a few faults.

 

1. No signature by anyone at MBNA ( I thought they had to sign it to make it enforceable)

 

2. By the customer signature strip it mentions condition 11 on the T&Cs which says data protection. If you look at condition 11 on the T&Cs is says about promotional discounts! Is this enough to prove the T&Cs are not the ones I was given ?

 

I had a read through the SAR and I was amazed , there are about 4 lines that have been blacked out !

 

Are they allowed to hide information like this ?

 

Also it says that a CAIS check was carried out and that a litigation referal was refused as there is little or no equity in my house. So they feel there is no point in litigating ( fair point ).

 

So they have sold to Experto , I am thinking of offering 10p in the pound. Is this best done by letter or phone ?

 

Anyone settled in full and final with Experto ? Any details of how much they settled for would be welcome.

 

Cheers Ron

Hi Ron,

I would make the offer by letter, a thread on here would defintely advise this as the 'cagger' arranged the F&F over the phone paid by installmeants and when he had finished they told him they were keeping what he paid and demanded another £2k:shock:

What happened with the barrister you never posted back on his thoughts?

Hi Thanks Ex

 

Yes I think a letter is best.

 

I will start at 10% and take it from there , although I think I have a good chance in court.

 

The Barister has given opinions on a couple of my cards , in paticular the Egg Approved Limit argument. He thinks the chances of winning are slim.

 

I have read PT's thread and he has won 5 cases using it ! I would have used PT if I could get hold of him , but no response so I settled.

 

Another thing is Experto have quoted wrong credit card numbers , is this significant! The amounts are correct to the penny.

 

I will post up the default notices soon to make sure they are correct.

 

But if they make a claim at the county court with the wrong CC numbers will it just get thrown out ?

 

Cheeers

Hi

 

Help needed please !

 

I have a default notice from MBNA dated 9th October 2009.

 

Then a letter from Experto Credite dated 23 October 2009 saying they have bought the debt.

 

Allowing for postal time have they complied with the rules?

 

I want to settle my debts with these people , I have seen 25% being accepted on some threads.

 

Any ideas who would be best to deal with Experto or MBNA ?

 

I just called MBNA on one of those text meassages which say call now for a discount and they say I have to deal with Experto.

 

I need to sort this out...

 

Thanks

Just noticed on the MBNA deafault that it says I have to pay the balance by 26 October 2009.

 

The letter from Experto Credite says 23/10/2009.

 

So it seems they bought it before the expiry of the default notice.

 

Is this significant ?

Hi Cerberus

 

Thanks for looking at my thread. The santised copies of default notice and letter from Experto are posted up below.

 

It looks to me that MBNA sold the debt to Experto at least 3 days to early.

 

Is this correct ?

 

I have seen in other threads where MBNA have settled for between 20-30 % in full and final. Do you know what is the best way to achieve this ?

 

Should I write to Experto or MBNA ?

 

Thanks
