    • Your concern regarding the 14 days delivery is a common one. Not been on the forum that long, but I don't think the following thought has ever been challenged. My view is that they should have proof of when it was posted, not when they "issued", or printed it. Of course, they would never show any proof of postage, unless it went to court. Private parking companies are simply after money, and will just keep sending ever more threatening letters to intimidate you into paying up. It's not been mentioned yet, but DO NOT APPEAL! You could inadvertently give up useful legal protection and they will refuse any appeal, because they're just after the cash...  
    • The sign says "Parking conditions apply 24/7". Mind you, that's after a huge wall of text. The whole thing is massively confusing.  Goodness knows what you're meant to do if you spend only a fiver in Iceland or you stay a few minutes over the hour there.
    • Hi and thanks It looks like they ticked all the boxes to me but I'll try and upload the notice. I was wondering if a witness to late delivery might be considered proof - I'm assuming they posted it as normal but Royal Mail stuffed up delivery. If not then they're really saying it just has to be posted within 12 days of the incident, regardless of when it is received. Annoying! edit ok thanks Honeybee here's my 2nd (actually 3rd) attempt at anonymising, copying and uploading the notice! Sorry about the state of it - I sat on it while distracted by my dog 🙃 pcn front.pdf pcn back page.pdf
    • ROFL - dont get upset just because someone (quite a lot of someones) dont want smart meters - well unless you get paid for it .. in which case ...   I assume you haven't been with Octopus long enough to be on one of the very long fixed price tariffs they offered before the prices went bonkers .. and that you dont use your electricity in the evening/lunch time if you think the 'agile type tariffs are good value .. let alone worth installing a smart meter for - high price a good disincentive for an evening cuppa eh? Let alone all your computer/tv etc time in the peak price evening or lunch time. - and boy do those peak prices instantly hammer your bill when those Russian and middle eastern issues kick off.   I would only have considered a smart meter if solar panels had been an option for me - but roof is oriented completely the wrong way. Oh - and My opinion hasn't changed since the smart meter trials 40 years ago, because neither have the issues (well not enough) but I'm happy for you. Be happy for me.
    • Hi. I'm afraid I've had to hide your post with the pdf files to keep this anonymous for you. You've left the PCN reference number and your car reg showing. Could you edit that and repost please? HB

    • 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.

My car has been taken by Logbookloans in the past week. I have a very strong case against them (The matter is not in court). I cannot give too many details. Firstly, is there a committed journalist that I can liaise with that can expose these people even further even though they are already drinking from "The Last Chance Saloon". Secondly, I want to fill in a form N244. I would like to hear from any other person who has been able to get their car back by filling in this form. I will also definitely want to hear from JonCris and applecart and others. This damsel in distress needs your help.

Hi AliceLand,

 

I'm sorry to note your car was taken.

 

I'm also encouraged to note your mention of a 'strong case against them'.

 

As they have taken your car - you need to check just how strong your case may be.

 

The following occurrances may act as a quick check list:

 

To the best of your knowledge - is the Bill Of Sale uneneforceable?

 

To the best of your knowledge - did you pay a third or more against the loan?

 

To the best of your knowledge - do you ever re-call being left with a copy of the BoS immediately after signing it?

 

To the best of your knowledge - did the same person who witnessed the signing of the BoS also witness the CCA?

 

Is the BoS in the prescribed form?

 

Were you served a Default notice - is it correct? (all default notices served must contain all of the information under the Consumer Credit (Enforcement, Default and Termination Notices) Regulations 1983. As the Agreement with lbl will be a conditional Sale Agreement - it must also advise you that 'if you have paid at least a third of the total amount payable under the Agreement....The creditor may NOT take back the goods against your wishes unless he gets a court order. (In fact look up this regulation for full details).

 

Can I also refer you to Regulation 33 of the Consumer Credit (Information Requirements and Duration of Licenses and Charges) Regulations 2007 the default nnotice must from 1/10/08 also include notice of your right to end the agreement....

 

If you have paid more than a third - section 90 of the CCA 1974 states that your vehicle is 'protected' as they have possessed you vehicle and if this applies - you will be entitled by virtue of Section 91 of the CCA 1974 to a return of all of the money you paid to the creditor.

 

This is by no means an exhaustive list, but it may assist you to keep focus.

 

There are a number of options open to you in taking the matter forward - most may advise an injunction; but this would depend on your individual circumstance and you need to weigh up the pros and cons - what I mean is - lets say, you have paid more than a third; and they have taken your car - would it be better to go after them by virtue of Section 90 of the CCA 1974 - where you stand to get not only recompense for them having taken your car but in addition all the money you paid under the agreement???

 

Hope this helps : )

  • 1 year later...

A few days after my car was taken from my driveway by Log Book Loans I took out an injunction to prevent them from selling it. About a year later the Judge at the hearing ordered that my car be returned to me. Two weeks later my car was taken from my driveway.

 

The people who stole it asked my neighbour if the owner of the car was black. How did they know that I was black and what does colour have to deal with stealing a car? A car thief does not want to know who owns any car. He or she is only interested in the car. Only someone who has dealt with me could have given the car thieves that information. I can only guess who was behind it. The car has most likely been sold for scrap in the Enfield area. Naturally, I have reported the matter to the police but all they have done is place the car on a list of missing vehicles. Help!

Queensclose, read carefully. I mentioned them in the first paragraph to give background info. But not in the second paragraph.

 

Secondly "Anyway logbook loans would have the reg. They would care who owned it" What does your second line mean. The English is not very clear.

LBL had already taken the car away and so I got an injunction preventing them from disposing of it or attempting to dispose of it. The court allowed them to keep it at BCA, but warned that LBL were responsible for its safety, security & whatever. After about a year of toing and froing from court the finally judge made an order that the car be returned to me. It was placed on my driveway and went missing 10 days later.
