    • 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.

Hi All,

 

just wondering if you can give me some advice, as a fool i got trapped in a load of payday loans, and for the past 5 months ive only been paying the interest each month.

This is my current situation:

Pounds till payday - £519

EPDL - £500

Payday UK - £412.50

Payday Express - £500

Wageday Advance - £250

 

I've defaulted on PTP and PDU, and i will default on the remaining tomorrow.I've been bombarded with phone calls from PTP which i have not answered, i;ve emailed them advising that at the moment i can only afford £25 a month and they refused it.Payday Express were really good and accepted a payment of £25 per month.

I have sent a letter to the remaining with my income and expenditure sheet and also explained my current situation.Payday UK said to wait until the payment fails and to wait for a phone call.Im yet to hear from EPDL and Wageday.

I've "lost" my card and changed bank accounts.so just waiting to see what happens next.

Can someone pls let me know if they're in similar situation and what happened to your cases?

 

Thanks guys

Shorty WOW

 

I think you should start by sending them all a letter outlining your situation regarding finances, 'reg post of course' also tell them that you will only communicate in writing, and when they call tell them that too.

 

They are gonna hasle you like crazy, be up for a long slog here, and scan up any info they send you and we will all offer our help where we can and support when we cant.

 

Good Luck

[email protected] is the email address for PTP customer relations team, I emailed them and said basically I will not be harrassed by telephone and would only communicate in writing. They seemed to listen to this. They won't accept a payment plan though and am waiting to be passed to Clarity.

 

It feels awful at the time but once you get these sorted with payments that suit you the weight that is lifted off your shoulders is amazing!!! I feel better already and still haven't sorted them all out but can see a light at the end of the tunnel.

I've noticed that EPDL are setting up DD on my alliance account without my permission, so i cancelled the DD and rand Alliance asking if they could put a stop on setting DD and they said NO, and that i would have to ask the company to stop setting up DD's on my account.Also i asked them if EPDL could still apply payments on my cancelled card and they said Yes they can, EVEN IF THERE'S NO MONEY ON MY ACCOUNT (which there isnt)!!!So im stuck because tomorrow im sure they will try and they will be sucessful and my account will go overdrawn!!!!!!!!so ill be more in debt!!!!

I called EPDL to ask iof they've received my letter and a guy called Gerry (not helpfull at all ) said no we've not received your letter yet, so i expalined the content of the letter and told him the payment will fail tomorrow and if there's anything he can do? he said nothing until we receive the letter, so i will post another copy today, and will make a payment of £25 tomorrow anyway by standing order.

 

I still dont understand why Alliance and Leicester cannot block this companies on my request??

Hi Mona

 

Get online and open a new account will take minutes to do, then write to A+L closure of account etc etc. write to all the creditors and get (recorded delivery) fine example ' Gerry says no letter?'. you have to do this asap or it will get worse, but it can be prevented by doing what you are advised.

 

I opened an acc with co-op it took less than 5 mins to do.

Hi Mona

 

Why will it take a while to close acct? dd's etc? yes they will pursue avenues of payment if they have the facilitiy to do so ( A+L Acc ) get it closed, me personally I would not make a further payment untill they had the letter ( Reg Post ) when and if they take you to court the judge will see that you have tried to ' assist and sort ' your situation and most likley go in your favour by what you are trying to implify now.

 

Relax Relax

Just got off the phone to Alliance, i have requested the account closure, they said it will take 7 days to process this, in the mean time they can still apply payments if they want. :(

 

Hi Mona

 

That's great, make sure you put it in writing to A+ L

 

Dear A+ L I am writing as per our telephone conversation on 26th Nov 09 at 10.27, and would like to confirm that I wish to close my account xxxxxxxxx.

 

Please confirm this action by return post, thankyou for you assistance.

 

( Something like that )

 

Also write and advise your creditors of your situation, and believe me things will get better.

Hi Marsh

 

You will need to close your old accounts as they will still try to pay requests, thus incuring charges for you.

Get it closed write to them dont need to give an explanation as to why your doing it, just do it..' Reg Post '.

 

Do you owe much on the pdl's/ and was it easy to obtain funds from them? I ask this question as I am curious about their protocol for give credit at such high interest?

Mr W,

 

This is what this programme is all about the director has cone alot of reserch into these companies I have just checked myself into Comapnies House register, Poundstillpayday and PaydayUK are not registered on there and Wonga apparently dissolved? strange all these sharks are swimming ashore. I have volunteered to be interviewed because they need to be stopped so many people are using these compaines just to buy their shopping, this government has really screwed us all up. I have 3 payday loans at present so I will fight them off one by one. What I dont understand if I use my stopped card in a shop it would not go through so how can they use my card and it could go through, is the banks aiding and betting with these s--ts.

Wow...so if you cancell your card, they can still collect? got to question the leagallity of that, I would speak to cc owner, are you being interviewed?

 

How much did you borrow, over what period, and why did you default?

 

And are you now fighting them because you cant pay and want payments reduced, or you wont pay because you are fighting back?

to answer the question that you asked Mr Worried about how easy it is to gain credit - too easy! I have a bad credit history and in the past 18 months it would be obvious form my credit record that I am struggling as I have defaulted on several creditors (before taking payday loans, although I have now come to an arrangement with these creditors). Once they have you, it is almost impossible to break free as you have to reloan straight away and then take another one from a different company in order to cover the interest payments on the first. It is a spiral that unless you are strong enough to put up with the harassment that you get when defaulting on the payments to them you can not get out of.

When you do default they have several different methods to cause as much embarrasment as possible (they know that people don't want anyone, especially work colleagues, to know the financial situation they are in) including phone calls to mobile, home and work. Dodgy letters (see my earlier thread) posing as baliffs etc etc. The interest on these loans and their ethics are nothing short of being loan sharks but somehow these are legal and easy to get hold of.

So let me try to understand.

Say you borrow £1000.00 today and you tell them it will be repaid end of Jan, what happens if you dont pay it all, or do you take the loan out over a longer period?

you take a loan out until your next payday. Some companies offer roll overs, so you pay the interest for the loan on your payday, but nothing off the original amount. This can carry on for as long as you need which means that you are always paying interest every month. e.g. £500 loan would mean £110 interest paid every month whilst you still owe £500 capital.

 

Other companies don't offer roll overs so you pay back the loan and interest on your payday. Initially you might start with a £200 loan, but after paying the interest you usually pay about £280 back. Then you reloan, but as you have had to pay the interest, the I had to reloan say £300 and so it goes on.

 

Each loan is only for 30 days max (if anyone has definate answer please say).

Mr W,

 

 

I will pay what I have taken but on my terms and what I can afford and will not tolerate these morons anylonger. I have 4 one with PTP, PaydayUk,Payday Express and WDA. Pounds till payday have accepted £10.00 per month on a £950 loan and frozen any further charges, wage day have accepted a lower amount per month the other two are still playing silly games payday express said they will try again and retrieve the funds from my debit card. Yes I am being interviewed tonight to be viewed 7th Dec, I am so nervous but if it can get these muppets out of our lives we will all sleep better. Wish me good luck, ifg I do seem drunk it is because I have hit the Bacardi beforehand, only kidding, watch this space finally they are going to be publisied for who they really are.

so Mr W you can see how easy it is to get in a complete mess with these people just so you can eat every month. As I said previously, just a look at my credit record for the past 18 months would show the difficulties I have been having, so I was fair game to them to get as much money as they could try for

Where will they interview you, maybe pm me that info.

 

Good Luck

in my case if there isn't the funds in the account for the debit card details they have they will keep trying and trying. They either try your card so often that the fruad team at my bank has stopped my card (thought that it was something illegal because of the amount of attempts to use the card) or (this is wonga's favourite) they will take small amounts when ever they feel like. Wonga have done this several times until I cancelled my card, the amounts varied from £10 upto £50. All amounts were of 'funny' numbers e.g. £22.59 etc so it looks like a purchase rather than a repayment.

 

I haven't occured charges due to failed card payments, but I have had the embarassment of my card being declined in a shop (even though I knew there was enough in the bank) as the card had been stopped (fraud team) or you daren't leav money in your account as you have no prior knowledge of when/how much these companies will take from your account
