    • 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.

    • 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.

sorry but technically they don't need to send you a statement until this october, so not sure if it would be considered a valid reason to put the account in dispute? check this out:

 

2 STATEMENTS

Statements for fixed-sum credit agreements

2.1 From 1 October 2008, creditors will be required by section 77A of the 1974 Act5 to provide debtors with annual statements in relation to regulated agreements for fixed-sum credit, such as loans and hirepurchase.

 

2.2 For agreements made on or after 1 October 2008, the first statement must be given within a period of one year beginning on the day after the day the agreement is made.

For pre-existing agreements, the first statement must be given within one year from 1 October 2008.6

Thereafter the creditor must give the debtor further statements at intervals of not more than one year, until there are no sums which are ormay become payable under the agreement.

Where's that from Emmilou?

 

Here's s77a, as I understood it. Good to have preconceptions shattered. Thanks very much. LOL

 

77A Statements to be provided in relation to fixed-sum credit agreements

(1) The creditor under a regulated agreement for fixed-sum credit—

(a) shall, within the period of one year beginning with the day after the day on which the agreement is made, give the debtor a statement under this section; and

(b) after the giving of that statement, shall give the debtor further statements under this section at intervals of not more than one year.

(a) Regulations may make provision about the form and content of statements under this section.

(b) The debtor shall have no liability to pay any sum in connection with the preparation or the giving to him of a statement under this section.

© (4) The creditor is not required to give the debtor any statement under this section once the following conditions are satisfied—

(a) that there is no sum payable under the agreement by the debtor; and

(b) that there is no sum which will or may become so payable.

(d) Subsection (6) applies if at a time before the conditions mentioned in subsection (4) are satisfied the creditor fails to give the debtor—

(a) a statement under this section within the period mentioned in subsection (1)(a); or

(b) such a statement within the period of one year beginning with the day after the day on which such a statement was last given to him.

(e) Where this subsection applies in relation to a failure to give a statement under this section to the debtor—

(a) the creditor shall not be entitled to enforce the agreement during the period of non-compliance;

(b) the debtor shall have no liability to pay any sum of interest to the extent calculated by reference to the period of non-compliance or to any part of it; and

© the debtor shall have no liability to pay any default sum which (apart from this paragraph)—

(a) would have become payable during the period of non-compliance; or

(b) would have become payable after the end of that period in connection with a breach of the agreement which occurs during that period (whether or not the breach continues after the end of that period).

(f) In this section ‘the period of non-compliance’ means, in relation to a failure to give a statement under this section to the debtor, the period which—

(a) begins immediately after the end of the period mentioned in paragraph (a) or (as the case may be) paragraph (b) of subsection (5); and

(b) ends at the end of the day on which the statement is given to the debtor or on which the conditions mentioned in subsection (4) are satisfied, whichever is earlier.

This section does not apply in relation to a non-commercial agreement or to a small agreement.

yeah I know, we haven't had one in three years. You do get one with your credit agreement when you make a cca request though. Just had ours through. Plenty of dubious looking charges!

 

They don't want you to know what charges they are slapping on your account which is why they don't send statements :mad:

Yeah thats what I am looking for. Just saw it on 2006 CCA. So does the implementation date of 1st October 2008 just erase the fact they haven't sent one prior to that? Just checked some things. I signed my agreement in late 2006, so surely they can't turn round and say that because of the amendment to the act that I have to wait until Oct 2009 for an annual statement? That's just crazy!

It looks that way... we signed ours in mid july 06, requested a statement at least 8 times... never got one.

 

Theres alot of people in the same situation, in fact i'm yet to come across anyone who's had a regular annual statement from them.

 

I presume (if they are still around by then) that in October they'll be sending the majority of their customers statements.

 

Maybe i'm reading it wrong but thats the impression I get, maybe someone with a bit more experience with the consumer credit act could confirm it...

Karrie, regarding transitional provisions, it says to refer to schedule 3 think the bit you are looking for is here:

 

 

 

Section 69

SCHEDULE 3 Transitional Provision and Savings

 

Interpretation

 

1 (1) Expressions used in the 1974 Act have the same meaning in this Schedule (apart from paragraphs 14 to 16 and 26) as they have in that Act.

(2) For the purposes of this Schedule an agreement becomes a completed agreement once—

(a) there is no sum payable under the agreement; and

(b) there is no sum which will or may become so payable.

Statements to be provided in relation to regulated agreements

 

2 (1) Section 77A of the 1974 Act applies in relation to agreements whenever made.

(2) Section 77A shall have effect in relation to agreements made before the commencement of section 6 of this Act as if the period mentioned in subsection (1)(a) were the period of one year beginning with the day of the commencement of section 6.

3 Regulations made under section 78(4A) of the 1974 Act may apply in relation to agreements regardless of when they were made.

4 (1) Section 7(3) of this Act shall have effect in relation to agreements whenever made.

(2) A dispensing notice given under section 185(2) of the 1974 Act which is operative immediately before the commencement of section 7(3)—

(a) shall, on the commencement of section 7(3), be treated as having been given under section 185(2) as substituted by section 7(3); and

(b) shall continue to be operative accordingly.

 

I can't understand it personally lol

Ok. Due to unforseen circumstances this month I have made my payment TWO DAYS late. Not happy as I have never been late/ missed a payment before. Anyway I sent a request for an annual statement by recorded delivery asking for it within seven days.That deadline passed on Friday. I also send a full CCA request which they have until tomorrow to comply with. Also requested that all communication be in writing only. I have had three phone calls so far! They just delight in making you feel bad.:-x

Karrie, what we have here is a requirement of the 2006 Act that was implemented on 1st October 2008. So indeed Welcome do not need to provide an annual statement until October this year (I imagine there will be a very big printing run going on at Welcome Towers towards the end of September). This requirement to provide annual statements for fixed sum credit agreements was only introduced in the 2006 Act, presumably as a means to keep the consumer informed of what was happening on their agreement.

 

You say you signed your agreement in late 2006. However you also say you have had a couple of top-ups since then. These would have to be new agreements, properly signed and executed each time. Do you remember signing new agreements? Do you have copies of them? Obviously I don't know when you have had these top-ups, but please be aware if the last one was after October 2008 you would not expect Welcome to provide you with an annual statement until one year from that point.

 

It will be interesting to see what your CCA request brings.

 

Also note that I am not aware of anywhere in the Act where the creditor has to respond to a request to provide a statement withing 7 days. Therefore I am unsure as to what recourse you have if they have not complied. Better to wait for the 12 working days for a response to your CCA request (which should also provide a statement), as the steps you can take for their non-compliance are clearly laid out.

Yeah thats what I thought so I will see what the CCA throws up. The last top up was before Oct 2008. More interested in the cancelled PPI and if my account was updated properly when I cancelled it also looking for any added charges that shouldn't be there since I have always paid in full . If my account is all above board then that's fine I will pay what I signed up to pay, I spent the money after all. But I think with Welcome you never know....and the 1st October is not that far away anyway....I am sure we will all be waiting by the letterbox! lol

Karrie, I don't know about you, but an annual statement for my secured loan arrived from Welcome in the post yesterday. Oh well, guess I'll have to keep on paying them!
