    • 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.

Hopefully someone could advise me I am having difficulties paying my catalouge at the moment I have missed two payments and now they are asking for 222.00 to bring the account up to date, they have also slapped on 42.76 interest and default fee, can I refute these charges and just pay what I owe being a credit agreement. Also the catalouge is in the name of my partners surname not my orignal name, will this make a difference if I ask for my credit agreement its under Mrs //////// \I am a Ms.

 

Many thanks for your interest

I would suggest a nice letter first saying you're having difficulties and asking them if they could kindly not make it worse by adding interest and charges.

 

If they say no, then ask for the agreement.

I wrote to EOS 8th Jan asking for a true original copy of my credit agreement, just a standard letter not quoting any acts, they wrote back and said under the CCA 1974 does not comply with the requirements for such under the act and they are under no obligation to furnish me with the information. Is this correct please? can someone tell me.

 

Very much appreciated.

I offered reduced payments in Dec and paid them £30. I did'nt do an official CCA, just a request for a signed agreement.

 

Do I resend or can I resend using the proper template?

 

Please advise.

 

Thanks for your kind response

Thanks

Of course they won't have a proper credit agreement, catalogues just don't work that way. Every time you order new goods on different terms, it's a different agreement and then there's the fact that goods are sent on approval, so effectively, they would have to send the goods, wait for the time for you to return them to pass, then send you a credit agreement for you to return, and do that every time you order new stuff! You can see what a logistical nightmare it would be, so instead they just send the goods on approval and rely on people paying up. ;-)

 

(could be different now with online ordering, I'm not sure, but certainly for goods ordered over the phone etc... No chance. ;-))

well, speaking for myself, I had a Kays and a Grattan, both of which I got into rows with due to them over-charging me, reneging on agreements, levying charges for no reason etc... Since they wouldn't budge, I thought "what the hell". I CCA'd Kays, who've passed it to NDR. NDR now write to me every month, add £24 of charges to the account and tell me I really should be paying them, oooh scary, lol, Grattan I haven't CCA'd, they have passed the debt to EOS who are now adding £150 of charge every month (!) and are also sending threateningletters warning me that they may take action any time soonish if I don't start behaving. I have a thread somewhere with the content of their letter if you're bothered to look for it, but it's the usual threatogram type of letter.

 

It's really up to you, I suppose for £1, a CCA request is useful to establish to them that you won't be a pushover. Plus it's always gratifying to see them writing back to say that "uh, no, they don't actually have a contract, but this is your balance, so pay up" and hope you fall for it. ;-)

Bookworm,

 

Many thanks for your reply and your reassurance. Because it is a mail order what CCA do I use, apparently there is one for loans, credit cards etc. I don't want to look a fool and send the wrong one. Please can you guide me.

 

Many thanks

Hi there

 

I have the same problem!! I am new to this site and would really value your help. Whats a CCA and where can I get a copy of the template?

 

A CCA is a request for the consumer credit agreement and can be found here; http://www.consumerforums.com/resources/templates-library/86-debt-collectors/581-cca-request-letter If they cannot provide one or it's unenforceable they cannot take any enforcement action.

what annoys me with people like eos is that they assume a creditor is correct and eos then ignore letters sent to them from the debtor. I have a counter claim against the creditor ebay. So what I told the eos md ged is that on Monday I will be in court taken action against Lloyds bank so I can file my claim against EOS so for the few pounds the want from me I will make them pay 150%, I cannot loose. Only they loose, EOS, who I consider a pest and a parasite. I also notice that their md could be looking for a job as his cv is on the internet apparently touting for a job offer put ged schiels into a search engine and you will find his cv. why not offer him a pretend job?
