    • 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.

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.

    • 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 I received a letter from Arrow Global stating the following:

 

16/12/09

 

We refer to our letter dated 05/05/2009 (responded with a CCA on 07/05/09 and they signed for the following day, still not received anything from them) and note you have failed to respond meaningfully or at all.

 

The purpose of this letter is to confirm that a statutory demand has now been sent to the Process Server who will now visit your address to affect personal service of the demand upon you.

 

We remain available to discuss repayment of your debt at all times. It is never to late to stop action. If you wish to discuss this matter further call the telephone number below.

 

TELEPHONE NUMBER BELOW TO MAKE ARRANGEMENTS TO PAY YOUR DEBT.

0800 1300165

(Opening hours are 9am-5pm Monday to Friday)

 

I sent them back a copy of my original CCA and the letter below:

 

Arrow Global Ltd

Litigation Dept,

3 Hardman Street,

Manchester, M3 3HR

 

Dear Sir/Madam

 

Re:− Account/Reference Number ***************

Please find attached letter which I sent to you on 7th May 2009 and I have confirmation that it was signed for on the 8th May 2009. I still do not have a reply. Please do not send further correspondence until this matter is addressed.

Have proof that is was signed for on 23/12/09 as sent by Special Delivery.

 

So we arrive back from Xmas Holiday and find a rather tatty letter in our letterbox stating the following:

 

Dear Sydneythecat (handwriting) 30/12/09

 

We have been asked to contact you urgently by Arrow Global and ask that you call me as soon as possible on (Mobile number). You may call me anytime during the day, weekends included, up until 9pm. I have an urgent legal document for you.

 

Thank you.

 

Yours faithfully

 

xxxxxxx

 

I stupidly rang the number and was told by the man on the other end of the phone that we has to deliver a document from Arrow Global but wouldn't give me a reference number when I asked for one. He just said he had to deliver it and that the law of the land is his authority, I then asked what law and he got tongue tied and said could he deliver it and I said no, probably not the best thing to say but wasn't thinking at the time.

 

Can anyone help as starting to have a little wobble at what they can do? Any help would be very much appreciated.

 

Syd

sounds like a phishing letter and a tracing agent follow up.

 

give us more info on the debt? history.

 

dx

please don't hit Quote...just type we know what we said earlier..

DCA's view debtors as suckers, marks and mugs

NO DCA has ANY legal powers whatsoever on ANY debt no matter what it's Type

and they

are NOT and can NEVER  be BAILIFFS. even if a debt has been to court..

If everyone stopped blindly paying DCA's Tomorrow, their industry would collapse overnight...

Not wishing to worry you but Arrow Global have in the past few months dished out quite a few stat demands and had them served by hand.

I have had my fingers in the pie on 2 cases, both of which were set aside easily.

If this is a process server, then he can rightly say that personal service was attempted and failed and Arrow can then apply for the SD to be served by a notice in the paper, usually, the London Gazette.

If that does happen, then arrow could present a petition easily.

 

Thats the worrying part over with.

 

How much was the alleged debt for and do you know who the original creditor would be. Reason for asking is that it costs a fair bit of money to present a petition and Arrow will not do it if there is not likely to be a payout at the end of it.

 

When we know more, we can help you more.

Of course I will pay you everything you say I owe with no proof.

As far as I can tell the Original Debt is for about £4800. The Account is HBOS, but I cannot tell you anymore as they haven't suppied me with the original paperwork regarding it as yet. Only been 7 months since I asked for the CCA? When they sent me the paperwork back in May this year I immediately sent a CCA as was curious as to what it was myself.

This looks like a complete screw up by Arrow.

 

I think my advice would be to accept service of the SD although the chances are that they'll stuff it through your letterbox and claim substituted service. You will then need to go to court to apply to have the SD set aside.

 

Hopefully, in the meantime sanity will prevail and Arrow will withdraw. If not you will have a field day with them in court.

I'm about to head off out but, in brief, if a SD is served you have 18 days to apply to have it set aside. It's an extremely serious document but anyone can produce one with a computer printer. It isn't issued by the court (like a CCJ form) but rather it's sent out by a creditor. It's sometimes used as a very unsubtle means of debt collection.

 

To have it set aside you have to make an application to the court. There are lots of threads here about how to do this. It's a fairly painless process although it does mean having to attend court. One of the grounds for having it set aside is that there is a serious dispute over the amount and/ or validity of the debt. It sounds as if the debt isn't yours and the only account you have had with HBOS would be statute barred now anyway.

 

Have a look around the forum. I'll be back online tomorrow. In the meantime others will no doubt be here tonight. If I were you though I would try to relax and enjoy the New Year.

It looks like they intend to serve the SD but based on what you have told us so far, thats not going to be a problem.

You have 18 days from date of service to get it set aside and already you have grounds as the debt is in dispute and they are in default of a CCA request.

If as you say, the account was last serviced 6 years ago then it is stat barred which is an absolute defence for any action they may take.

 

Its just a case of sitting back and waiting to see what they come up with, that way we will know for sure what the debt is exactly and how old it is.

We can then start formulating the plan of attack from ther.

Of course I will pay you everything you say I owe with no proof.

Delivered by hand or by mail?

18 days to apply for a set aside but not to worry, several members have recently had this with Arrow and had them set aside. In your case, if you know nothing about it, thats even easier if it is genuinely not your debt.

Lets see what the SD says and then we can take it from there.

Of course I will pay you everything you say I owe with no proof.

Firstly, as you have made a CCA request and this has not been complied with, that is grounds alone for having the SD set aside as the account is clearly in dispute and you have received no proof that it is indeed your account.

You may also dispute that the debt is yours at all since you say you have no knowledge of ever having an acount with HBOS and they have provided no proof that it is.

I would also be inclined to send off a Subject Access Request to HBOS if you have an account number (should have been provided on the paperwork from Arrow) as this will establish if the debt is yours or not as they will have to send you everything they have, including a genuine copy of any agreement. With the timescale allowed for the set aside, you will probably not get a reply in time but nevertheless, it is still further grounds to emphasise the dispute.

Of course I will pay you everything you say I owe with no proof.

Courtesy of LilyWhite in the above mentioned post.

I have altered it slightly to suit your circumstances.

How to complete the forms

 

6.4:

 

For (a) fill in your name and address

 

The section that states attend before the Registrar leave blank. This will get filled in by the court.

 

For (b)

on the hearing of an application by (b) (insert your name)

 

An application for an order that the statutory demand dated (insert date on the SD that you received from xxxxxx) be set aside

 

For ©

The grounds on which the applicant claims to be entitled to the order are set out in the affidavit of the applicant sworn on (insert the date that you hand the forms into the court).

 

For (d)

The names and addresses of the persons upon whom this application should be served are:

(d) (insert name and address of xxxxxxxx For (e)

 

The applicant’s address for service is: (e) (insert your name and address)

 

Cross out where it states (Solicitor for the) and just leave the word Applicant and sign and date the form.

 

 

Form 6.5

 

For (a) fill in your name and address and state that you are a litigant in person.

 

For (b)

1. That on (b) (insert date that you received the SD through the post) the statutory demand exhibited hereto and marked 'A' came into my hands

 

For ©

2. that I © Do not admit the debt because the alleged debt is totally disputed.

 

The alleged creditor has not provided any proof whatsoever that the alleged debt is owed by me.

 

The alleged creditor states that the amount is owed under an agreement which has not been provided

 

The alleged creditor has not provided any default notices in the prescribed form.

 

The alleged creditor has provided no statements for the duration of the account.

 

The alleged creditor has not provided any notices of assignment.

 

The alleged creditor has not 'served' anything on me, but simply posted a demand - I believe that this is a frivolous attempt at scaring me into paying and therefore an abuse of the process.

 

I refer to:

 

Judge Boggis QC - RE AWAN - [2000] BPIR 241

 

'In my judgment, bankruptcy is one of the most serious forms of execution that can be brought against a debtor. In any bankruptcy proceedings it is, in my view, absolutely clear that the provisions as to service must be followed exactly. - JUDGE BOGGIS QC - SITTING AS A JUDGE OF THE HIGH COURT

 

On the above information I request that the demand is set aside and I kindly ask the the judge award my costs in this matter as a LITIGANT IN PERSON.

 

I respectfully request that the court give consideration to awarding these costs on the indemnity basis or, in the alternative, on the standard basis as I believe, in any case, that they have been proportionately and reasonably incurred and/or are of a proportionate and reasonable amount.

 

In support of this request, I would also like to refer the court’s attention to the authority of the High Court in the case of:-

 

Hammonds (a firm) v Pro-Fit USA Ltd [2007] EWHC 1998 (Ch)

 

In this case, Mr Justice Warren confirmed that it was usual for an indemnity award to be made:-

 

27 So far as disputed debts are concerned, the practice of the court is not to allow the insolvency regime to be used as a method of debt collection where there is a bona fide and substantial dispute as to the debt. Save in exceptional cases, the court will dismiss a petition based on such a debt (usually with an indemnity costs order against the petitioner).

j) In respect of judgment of Mr Justice Warren as set out above the applicant avers that there is a clear dispute in relation to this debt and furthermore the respondent has been made aware of the matters complained of and despite this a statutory demand was issued

 

I make this statement with the sworn belief that all facts stated are true.

 

I am sure that someone else will be along soon to either add or correct anything that may need to be done.

Of course I will pay you everything you say I owe with no proof.

Oooh Look....Flying Pigs

Not at this point but you can amend this

The alleged creditor states that the amount is owed under an agreement which has not been provided

 

to read,

 

The alleged creditor states that the amount is owed under an agreement which has not been provided despite a request for a copy agreement being sent on..xxx... and signed for on ..xxx...(Insert dates)

Of course I will pay you everything you say I owe with no proof.
