    • I have received a PCN from Euro Car Parks for MFG - Esso Cobham - Gravesend. I was completely unaware that there was any such limit for parking and always considered this to be a service station. I stopped there to use the toilet, have a coffee and made a couple of work calls. I have read the previous topics on this location which suggest I can ignore this and ECP will not take legal action. The one possible complication is that the vehicle is leased by my employer so I do not want to involve them with the associated reminders and threatening letters. The PCN was first issued to the leasing company Arval who have notified ECP of the hiring company. I have attached a copy of the PCN Notice to Hirer with details removed as per instructions. What options do I have or should I just pay the PCN promptly at the reduced rate of £60? img20240424_23142631.pdf
    • What you have uploaded is a letter with daft empty threats from third-party paper tigers.  Just ignore it. What we need to see is the original invoice you received last October or November.
    • Thanks for posting the CPR contents. i do wish you hadn't blanked out the dates and times since at times they can be relevant . Can you please repost including times and dates. They say that they sent a copy of  the original  PCN that they sent to the Hirer  along with your hire agreement documents. Did you receive them and if so can you please upload the original PCN without erasing dates and times. If they did include  all the paperwork they said, then that PCN is pretty near compliant except for their error with the discount time. In the Act it isn't actually specified but to offer a discount for 14 days from the OFFENCE is a joke. the offence occurred probably a couple of months prior to you receiving your Notice to Hirer.  Also the words in parentheses n the Act have been missed off. Section 14 [5][c] (c)warn the hirer that if, after the period of 21 days beginning with the day after that on which the notice to hirer is given, the amount of unpaid parking charges referred to in the notice to keeper under paragraph 8(2)(f) or 9(2)(f) (as the case may be) has not been paid in full, the creditor will (if any applicable requirements are met) have the right to recover from the hirer so much of that amount as remains unpaid; Though it states "if any applicable ...." as opposed to "if all applicable......" in Section 8 or 9. Maybe the Site could explain what the difference between the two terms mean if there is a difference. Also on your claim form they keeper referring to you as the driver or the keeper.  You are the Hirer and only the Hirer is responsible for the charge EVEN IF THEY WEREN'T THE DRIVER. So they cannot pursue the driver and nowhere in the Hirer section of the Act is the hirer ever named as the keeper so NPC are pursuing the wrong person.

    • 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.

Companies such as these will get away with this sort of thing if no-one complains.

 

Who knows who to complain to? If it was an internet website for a normal business, then the local Trading Standards is the place to complain to, I believe. But since it's dealing with credit, would the FSA be the place to complain to?

Interest

 

The interest rate for microcredit with Toothfairy is 0%.

 

Cost

 

The cost of a micro loan is interest free, instead a clear and easy to understand administration fee of £9 per £100 per week is charged.

 

 

So not interest free then!

 

The maths part: Microloans offer credit borrowed for less than one year. Using APR multiplies the loan cost but NOT the loan amount which gives a silly percentage. For example using this method a typical loan from Toothfairy would be calculated at 1089%APR but in real terms it is £18!

 

Real terms is £18, real terms its 1089% !!!!! B*GGER ME!!!

Yeah, it's horrendous, but at the same time it's a useful service to people who can't otherwise get credit, such as students. They've saved me a couple of times.

Well yes I was exploited by the appalling interest rates, but I knew full well what I was signing up for. Every story I've read on here has started 'I failed to pay the loan back' or similar. Well, what do you expect? They're not just going to let you off!

 

If they were claiming people hadn't paid when they really had, it would be a different matter, but as it repeatedly says on the websites of these companies, 'If you think you're going to have problems paying it back, don't take out a loan!'

 

Payday loans are intended for people who have money coming, but not for a couple of weeks and want an advance on that at the cost of the interest rates these companies attach to such loans. If you don't have the foresight to see three weeks ahead and know you're not going to be able to repay it, then it's hardly surprising you end up with debt recovery agencies after you!

Yes but they make it bloody well too easy to obtain these loans dont they?. Payday loans are indeed intended for people who have jobs but there is nothing on there site or no restrictions put into place stopping people who havent got the means to, and whats to stop a 12 year old child getting one of these loans?? "oo free money" there is no way of tooth fairy finance to know the age of said person or ability to pay back. you may say well its your responsabilty to pay but when your a student and cant find a job and havent eaten anything at all for 8 weeks you start to get pretty bloody desperate. so before condemning people think abit mate.

peace out
