    • 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.   Signed I am the Defendant - I believe that the facts stated in this form are true XXXXXXXXXXX 01/05/2024   Defendant's date of birth XXXXXXXXXX   Address to which notices about this claim can be sent to you

    • 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.

You should also include your SOC setting out all the charges which you require to be repaid.

 

Give them 14 days to do this and then file a claim at court.

 

Consider claiming interest in restitution .

How does this reply look?

 

Dear xx

 

Thank you for your letter dated xx xxxx 2009

 

I respectfully decline your offer of settlement and request, one final time, that you return to me all charges including Arrears Letter Charges, Unpaid Direct Debit Payment Charges and Unpaid Cheque Charges imposed on this account, totalling £xxx plus any charges that have been applied since xx xxxx 2009. I have enclosed a schedule of the charges added to my account up to xx xxxx 2009.

 

In order to avoid Litigation against you, I am prepared to temporarily accept the sum offered as partial settlement on the clear understanding that the remainder is paid within the next 14 days. Failure to comply with this request will result in legal action against you for full recovery.

 

If you do not accept my conditions for acceptance, or you do not respond within 14 days, the money transferred to my account should not be viewed as my acceptance and I hereby authorise you to remove this sum accordingly.

 

 

I trust this clarifies my position.

 

 

Yours faithfully

 

 

With regards to the interest in restitution, is that the same as contractual interest and when would I claim this if I did, at court or in this letter?

The letter looks fine.

 

If you want to claim interest in Restitution, you should ask for it now and include it on the SOC. They won't pay this voluntarily and you'll have to file at court and take it right up to a final hearing date, before they cave in and settle.

 

Use an advanced spreadsheet - the one in the Interest Tutorial will do. See Link No6 in my signature below.

Looked into it, they haven't added interest to the charges as the finance charge was front loaded as part of the initial balance.

No, you're missing the point. They've had your money and have used it as part of their business capital on which they have earned money.

Today is the 14th day and nothing in the post, should I give them a couple of days grace before filing the claim?

 

I've also paid the nine pounds or so that covers the entire purchase plus the interest, so now the balance they say I owe is entirely made up of charges.

 

I didn't go with the interest in restitution on this one, as I want it over as quick as possible as It'll lighten the load of monthly payments. Will certainly go for it on my next claim though.

Hi Bearing,

 

In this instance, I'd file the court claim immediately - at least that way you'll get the full amount of s.69 Statutory Int't from the date of each charge.

 

File at your local court using form N1 - http://www.consumerforums.com/resources/templates-library/48-bank-templates/113-4-particulars-of-claim-n1-updated-version-now-available See the downloadable N1 in pdf format towards the bottom of the thread.

 

Adapt this POC to reflect that your claim is against Barclays Bank PLC t/a Barclays Partner Finance, and that you're claiming back penalty charges on a fixed sum loan. http://www.consumerforums.com/resources/templates-library/48-bank-templates/120-zootscoot

It may have to wait a couple of days, don't have the £65 at present.

 

With regards to any charges that have been added since my schedule of charges, do I need to find them out now or can I wait until the court hearing?

Before either a court hearing or a tel con to discuss settling with Barclays, have an up to date SOC showing all charges to date, so you have clear figures to agree.

 

You'll need details of any recent charges that have been added.

I'll give them a call then, perhaps they may email me a copy of the charges applied since.

Write a quick letter to Mercers if they contact you, to say:-

 

Please do not involve yourself in this matter. The a/c is in dispute with BPF concerning penalty charges and all collection activity must cease.

If you contact me again, you'll be in breach of the OFT Debt Collection Guidelines and will be reported to the FOS for investigation.

Your claim remains with BPF. They've not sold the a/c - Mercers are just Barclays and Barclaycard's in-house collection monkeys.

Cheers Slick,

 

With regards to the account being in dispute, should BPF still be adding charges to it?

As you are disputing penalty charges but not the credit agreement itself, you don't have the protection of the CCA1974 for an a/c in dispute.

 

You do, however, have the OFT Debt Collection Guidelines but this doesn't stop the addition of charges and/or interest to the a/c.

Letter sent to Mercers on the 21st, received a default notice in the post today any ideas on this.

 

Not concerned as obviously they can't serve a default on a balance made up completely of charges.

Hi Bearing,

 

Have a look here for info about defaults - http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/data-protection-default-issues/

 

You SHOULD be concerned about this. Although they shouldn't place a default against you, they may still do so, despite the a/c being in dispute.

 

Reply to Mercers confirming that you will take action against BC/Mercers if any default is made while the a/c is in clear dispute.

I think the DN is wrong as it doesn't show BPF's name and address, for starters.

Another thing which has crossed my mind, when they decide they are in the wrong and pay up do you think it would be preferable to ask for a cheque to be sent out from which I can then pay off the balance of the account. Rather than them just crediting my account?

Hi Bearing ,

 

The name and address in post #47 are correct.

 

Deal with the manner of payment (cheque or credit to the a/c) when negotiating re settlement. Is the loan still running and are pay'ts up to date on it.

 

The example N1's on the site should give you adequate guidance but, if you want to, post the N1 here before it goes to court. Hide all personal data first !!

Whether the loan is still running is debatable, they insist I'm in arrears but I have made payments to the account that total the original balance which comprised of the loaned amount plus interest, so in my eyes the account is paid in full. The balance that now stands on the account is made up 100% of charges, so as far as I'm concerned then yes payments are up to date, but as far as BPF are concerned they are not.
