    • I have just read the smaller print on their signs. It says that you can pay at the end of your parking session. given that you have ten minutes grace period the 35 seconds could easily have been taken up with walking back to your car, switching on the engine and then driving out. Even in my younger days when I used to regularly exceed speed limits, I doubt I could have done that in 35 seconds even when I  had a TR5.

    • 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.

    • 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.

When you originally got the CCJs was there an order made as to what you had to repay monthly? If so stick to that.

 

Or did you come to an agreement with the original lender as to how much you paid per month? If so continue with that amount.

 

Did the original CCJs make any mention of interest or did it stipulate a specific amount had to be repaid?

Judgment ordered to pay the sum of £3095.31 by installments of £15.34 ever calender month.

 

its the part of the clause in the original 'Consumer Credit Act 1974' which is the issue because it states that they can charge interest after as well as before any judgment which causes the problem.

(subject to variation) until payment after as wellas before any judgement (such obligation to be independent of and not to mergewith the judgement).

Then that is what you pay, if Link want to change it they would have to apply to the court and more likely than not a judge would laugh at them.

Meaningless drivel, they cannot stipulate what a judgement will include nor can they alter a judgement.

 

As previously said continue with the payments as stipulated by the court order. No doubt you are more than aware of the payments made and what remains.

 

Write to the idiots at Link and tell them you require a Statement of Account. It will be interesting what they provide you with because if they are stupid enough to include anything not mentioned by the CCJ they will be in contempt of court.

have you received an NOA? from the OC?

 

pers i'd keep paying to whom you were and totally ignore link.

 

oh and i'd stop conversing with them too.

 

you DON'T need THEIR permission to pay off a CCJ!!

please don't hit Quote...just type we know what we said earlier..

DCA's view debtors as suckers, marks and mugs

NO DCA has ANY legal powers whatsoever on ANY debt no matter what it's Type

are NOT and can NEVER  be BAILIFFS. even if a debt has been to court..

When you say you are now in a position to settle the CCJ do you mean in full? If so you can do so as per the CCJ do not add any 'administration fee' they are not entitled to any + you require a 'Notice of Settlement'.

To be honest, you could be really bloody-minded with Link if you wish and make them prove that the CCJ exists because if they can't they are entitled to zilch. They would have to provide you with either a copy of the court order or the case number... if they can't they can't enforce anything because of the age of the CCJ it will be archived in court records and cannot be retrieved without a case number. ;)

Can I just ask what you feel the gain is on paying the CCJ off early?

 

Ok, it'll get marked as satisfied on your credit file but it'll still show up until 6 years from the judgement have passed. if you continue paying the amount you are which I believe works out at 16 odd years of payments, the CCJ disappears after 6 years anyway and you are only paying £15 a month.

 

I'm guessing its cos you think the interest is accruing on this debt and it'll never get paid off... if so as has already been stated there is NO grounds for adding interest in that Judgement.

 

Oh and have a look at this:- http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/entry.php?191-Post-judgment-interest-on-CCA-regulated-debts

I have worked it out that I can settle it 2 CCJs totalling

 

· 1 = £666.00

 

· 2 = £457.00

 

· Total = £1123.00 (full and final offer)

 

With the help of some money from my Mum.

Firstly I cannot get ‘Link Financial’ to agree to the amount owed – their figure always includes interest.

 

Secondly: I don’t wantto pay it if I have to go through all that hassle I had when I started 13 years ago if they decide to start sending me notices to say I owe them Money for theinterest

 

I am going through all this now

1. becauseI have the money to do so

2. Istill have around 4 years to solve this before it becomes a problem for real

The more I think about this the more i smell a rat.

 

Both these CCjs are 15 years old so shouldn't even be on your credit file unless the OC was totally bloodyminded and kept updating it.

 

I would be interested to see whether in fact they can even produce the CCJ from the OCs archives.

I have been pay Link for years - they told me yesterday that they Purchased the Debt from GE Money - (the indication I got it included the interest) ps the interest as stopped think it was last year.

 

I was going the speak to GE Money tomorrow to see if I can make any sense on whats going on.

It’s totally my decision to pay them off - they don’t even phone me anymore asking toincrease payments.

Need to find the terminology that triggers them to listen - I'm not rude to them - I keep paying in accordance to the CCJ so in theory they cant take me back to court.

The thing is any communications you enter into must be in writing, speaking to them on the 'phone is never a good idea particularly as the telephone jockey you will be speaking to will have a hard job knowing which planet he's on let alone the state of your a/c.

 

If you wish to settle this once and for all write to them and ask for a Statement of Account, depending on what you receive back will determine your next course of action but if they've added interest contrary to the CCJ as I said earlier they will be committing contempt of court.

 

At the end of the day you pay what remains as per judgements, no interest & no administration fees. believe me even they wouldn't be stupid enough to attempt a second bite of the cherry in a court particularly since they've been rumbled.

That would be interesting because there is no mention of theCCJ

 

The statement begins with the opening loan in 1996

 

Then the payments and interest as normal:

 

Around the CCJ mark there is an entry of ‘FEES’ £169.00 which was included into the CCJ

 

Then just payments only £15.34 from OCT 98 until April 2001 (no interest)

 

Then an entry of £1374.37 interest then monthly interest charges ever since.

 

 

When I defaulted in I done the usual and offered and started paying what I could afford £15.34 per month (I think long time ago) pro-rata to all the other debts at the time.

 

FNB being like they are they decided to rubber stamp it with an CCJ and charge interestin accordance to that credit agreement I signed

Briefly Below is the last email I am awaiting an reply.

 

Without Prejudice

 

Re: xxxxxxxx & xxxxxxxxxx

Their seems to be some confusion in the figure I recently offered in full and final settlement of the two accounts.

 

Based on your acceptance of the full and final settlement figure of £400.00, which was about 90% of the £450.00 figure left against the CCJ amount against - ????????- (this was the 3rd account which was accepted in thier book it was an 50% settlement which included interest in mine I paid 90% of the CCJ figure)

 

I then offered full and final settlement figure of £800.00in total to clear both - xxxxxxxx & xxxxxxxxx put together. = 71%of the £ 1127.00 CCJ balance – in your letters you had £800.00 on each?

 

Can you let me know what balance you have outstanding calculating the figure as CCJ amount less any payments paid against?

 

xxxxxxxxxxxx

 

&

 

xxxxxxxxxxxx

 

 

 

So can update my records. (in case I’m a few pounds out on my figures) so can evaluate an better offer.

 

 

Kind Regards

Thanks for all the advice on this hopefully it will be helpful to all the others in the same situation as me,

 

I'll be emailing them on Monday requesting statement of account, and when that arrives I will then ask the where in the Judgment the allowance of Interest is mentioned.

 

How long should I give them to respond to each request?

Pay what's on the CCJ, end of. Link are morons trying to fleece you. Personally I would still pay monthly but I do see your point,you want it out of the way. If you write to the court with the case number they will tell you if link can add interest, they can't. Then just wave the court letter at them.
