    • Jasowter I hope that common sense prevails with Iceland and the whole matter can be successfully ended. I would perhaps not have used a spell checker just to prove the dyslexia 🙂 though it may have made it more difficult to read. I noticed that you haven't uploaded the original PCN .Might not be necessary if the nes from Iceland is good. Otherwise perhaps you could get your son to do it by following the upload instructions so that we can appeal again with the extra ammunition provided by the PCN. Most of them rarely manage to get the wording right which means that you as the keeper are not liable to pay the charge-only the driver is and they do not know the name and address of the driver. So that would put you both in the clear if the PCN is non compliant.
    • Thank you so much. Yes, I wish I had done my research and not paid. It's all for the same car park. Here is one of the original PCNs, they are all the same bar different dates. PCN-22.03.24-1.pdf PCN-22.03.24-2.pdf
    • Hi Clou, Welcome to the Forum and thank you for reading first before you posted. There seems to be many problems with Cornwall and getting a signal to use your a phone which could be why these parking companies don't use alternatives. It is a shame you paid the first one as you would probably have not had to pay that one either.  Was the car park at which you paid the same parking company as the one sending you these PCNs? On the subject of PCNs could you please post them up so we can see if they comply with the Act.

[Y/N?] post it up Yes, rejected:   Site: Sea View Car Park, PL27 6SR Date of Event: 16th March 2024 We are in receipt of your challenge in relation to the above Parking Charge. Appeals must be handled in a fair and consistent manner, therefore, in order for us to cancel any Parking Charge; it is necessary for us to find that the Notice was issued in error. As per the clear and prominent signage at this location ('The Contract'), drivers agree to pay the sum of £100 if 'A valid ticket is not displayed face-up on the dashboard; enabling all of the printed information to be inspected'. 'The Contract' also details that there is an exception for those with a valid mobile session in place. Had the driver felt that the terms of the contract were unacceptable, they had the option to seek alternative parking. By remaining, the driver is deemed in law to be bound by the terms of 'The Contract'. Our photographic evidence confirms that a valid ticket was not displayed, and a search of our records confirms that no mobile session was in place for the registration XXXX at this location; therefore, your appeal is declined. We note that you have submitted evidence of payment; however, said payment is not for this location. It may be the case that you feel that the charge is unfair; however, there is no legal basis to now reject a charge that the driver has already agreed to pay. In light of the above, the sum £100.00 is payable by 21/05/2024 or £170 thereafter. Our internal appeals procedure is now exhausted, our decision is final; therefore no further correspondence other than payment will be addressed or responded to. Should you disagree with our decision, you may submit an appeal to 'The Independent Appeals Service'; full details are on the rear of this letter. 7 Who is the parking company? Alliance Parking LTD   8.

IAS Hi there, thanks in advance for any help on this.   Had 3 'PCNs' in post from Alliance for parking 3 times over a period of two weeks, unfortunately we were away from home so letters must have come over the two weeks but we received all at once if that makes sense. I realised I had used the wrong location on the car park app. The signs are not clear what the location is called (no code.) I only had receipts for two instances so I assume the first it didn't go through as had terrible signal. Paid £60 for one of the fines. Appealed the others saying it was an honest mistake and not very good signage (unfortunately submitted on their website and have no evidence of my appeal.) received the rejection of appeal as above.   Have now received the attached letter of claim. I have done some research for the amazing snotty letters but wonder if someone could kindly help me with writing one specific to my case? Thank you so very much in advance.

    • 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, does anyone know the factual legistration for an unenforceable cca with a catalogue company (jd williams)

 

i opened an account with jd williams end of november 2006. as far as i am aware i never received or sign any form of credit agreement.

 

i opened my account over the phone. not the internet or application form via the post.

 

i have tried everything i can regarding this situation that has now been going on for just over two years. jd williams will not accept any lower payment nor are they willing to listen. they just keep adding charges to my account and getting debt collection agencies to send letters threatening cout action if not apid in full the day i recieve the letter and to contact them immediately if i have problems paying the full outstanding balance.

 

however when i do contact them they will not accept payment other than the full amount.

 

also, without my request, permission and knowledge jd williams also opened another credit account in my name just a week or so after the first one. i have used the catalogue but is this not legal?

 

what i really need to know:

 

1, is there any rules/laws etc in 2006 that would prevent me going the cca route.

 

2, does the 2004 electronic signiture valid on telephone applications or is it just on internet website applications?

 

3, does anyone know of any lawful reason why a catalogue company would not have a signed by me cca in 2006.

 

in my mind, if this company had any enforcable cca, then they would have started court preceedings ages ago surely. at present i am receiving letters from debt collectors at least one every 14 days threatening legal action for at least one full year.

 

does anyone know if this is the way it goes?

 

also as far as the signed cca is concern i am a little confused as 5 people i know at christmas all opened accounts with this company. all accounts were opened via the internet with the tick in the box but all 5 received cca's in the post either after items were despatched or just after recieving items to sign with t+c on the back. the have to sign and send back.

 

three of which have not been signed and accounts still running as norm.

 

anyone know factual info?

 

all help very great fully received.

 

cheers

i had the same with little woods,send them the cca request enclosing £1 po for the fee and send it recorded delivery a.s.a.p.

i agree that if they know they have the correct paper work for this acc you would have been in court by now!

does your threatograms say we may do this we may do that ?,this is usual lowlife threats to be taken with a pinch of salt.

if no cca after the 12+2 days then send them tha acc in despute and stop paying them until they supply your legal requirment cca.

Hi

 

Glad to see you made it....lol

 

The Consumer Credit Act 1974 (Electronic Communications) Order 2004 came into force in December 2004 any online agreements entered into prior to this date still need a signed executed credit agreement.

 

Electronic signatures weren't considered valid until this date.I dont think over the phone is compliant but not sure

 

The SI is here: The Consumer Credit Act 1974 (Electronic Communications) Order 2004

 

Also it would still have to contain all of the prescribed terms to be valid

 

I have just posted this in another thread as an alternative to the CCA request letter quoting Carey V HSBC

 

Dear Sir/Madam

 

Re 12345678910

 

With reference to the above account, I would be grateful if you would send me a copy of this credit agreement.

 

I refer to the recent judgement in the Manchester Mercantile Court Carey v HSBC bank Ltd [2009] EWHC 3417 where Judge Waksman set new case law regarding copies of agreements under the CCA1974

 

I understand that under the Consumer Credit Act 1974 (Sections 77−79), I am entitled to receive a copy of my credit agreement on request. I enclose a payment of £1.00 which represents the fee payable.

 

The copy may be reconstituted from your records but must comply with the requirements set out in Carey V HSBC however I would prefer a photocopy of the original document

 

I understand a copy of my credit agreement should be supplied within 12 working days and after this time you must advise me whether you hold a copy on file after this period you may not enforce the agreement and I may withhold payment as in Casey V HSBC para 150

 

If the agreement has been varied you must supply a copy of the original along with the current terms and conditions Casey V HSBC para 108

 

If you provide a reconstituted copy you must advise me of this and explain why it may differ from the original as per para 57 and OFT draft Guidelines

 

I look forward to hearing from you.

 

Yours faithfully

dgs82: Have a look at threads which mention JD Williams, Simply Be or Reliable Collections. All the same company.

 

Lots of experience on CAG about dealing with these monkeys. Usually you send the £1 CCA request, they reply to say they can't find it, or don't reply and go into default, or reply and try to con you into signing a new CCA document.

 

Once they are in default you can reply to their next demand and point that out, then ignore them. They'll try phoning, sending more letters and all that, but they have to show that they have valid documentation that they would reply upon if they (ever) took a case to court.

 

You mention ticking a box on-line. Sadly, that can be seen has having a valid agreement for many who apply on-line, but you say you did yours on the phone, so the tick box option is not valid for them.

 

They are a greedy company who add charges to accounts when they are fully aware the customer is unable to make payments, often due to losing a job or whatever.

 

There are some areas that are unclear, like they took out a second agreement and you used the catalogue - why on earth do that? You had an account with them and using a second account could have it's own implications. That is muddying the waters a little.

 

People you know who have taken out new agreements have nothing to do with your case, so ignore that. It's not relevant.

 

All you can do is request the CCA, follow procedure, and see what they do. If you are getting demands from (un)Reliable then that's just in-house.

hi all and thanks for your replies.

 

themagcian: yea its just the normal rubbish they write like "formal demand", "would like an amicable settlement" and "will not hesitate to commence legal proceedings". all of these things have been on every letter for over a year.

 

b3rty: yea i made it lol thanks for pointing me in the right direction with how to do a thread lol and that letter looks brilliant i had already downloaded and printed off my letter to the collectors but think i may use this one now. and thanks for the 2004 act will have a read through it.

 

hillards: i am not getting letters from reliable anymore they are bored of me ignoring them. it is a company in scotland however it is exactly the same useless threats as reliable. the reason i used the account was credit limit was low on both. i had just moved to a new place and needed domestic items. at the time i was in full time employment and was making regular monthly payments. they responded by increasing my credit accounts over 6 months to quite a large. unfortunatly end of summer 07 i was burguled so i used the accounts to help replace electricals. i was however quite sensible when buying and did not use all of the credit which in total of the accounts would have been well over £2000. mid 08 i lost my job and this is where the problems started. i have not paid them any money since at all since feb 09 11 months ago in protest to the lack of willingness to first of listen to me and secoundly to even consider my monthly repayment suggestions. had they of been helpful in the first place i would be paying them monthly installments to clear the debt and would not be writing this now.

 

after what i have read on this site in the last 24 hours and i ahve read a lot about 8 hours i have read altogether, i firmly believe that these company have no enforceable cca things would have been moving along before now in terms of legal proceedings considering that i have not paid any money for 11 months. i may be wrong we will see when i post the cca request to them first thing monday morning recorded delivery.

 

thanks again for the replies guys, all info is welcome. the more info the better.

 

will keep u all up to date

o hillards,

 

i take your point on other peoples accounts with this company. however in my mind the fact they are sending out cca's for new customers to be signed, dated and then returned is a statement in itself. i.e. these tick box for this company is somewhat useless as why would they waste money and time sending out cca's if the tick box on the screen or even over the phone is a legal bidding cca that is enforceable?

 

i am not saying i am right, i may be very far from the truth and jumping the gun. it just strikes me as a little strange and bad bussiness sense to waste money obtaining something you already have in your records. this company mentioned above is greedy. they wouldnt waste money like that surely?

This company, in my opinion is despicable. Their relentless disregard for peoples privacy and underfanded abuse of peoples knowledge of the law infuriates me.

They try an impose ( by their own right) intrest charges of 138% and involve debt collection companies, to collect on their part... parasites ( cant swear here, to tell you the real feelings).

I simply told them that their interest rates were extorsonate, and no court in this country would uphold them, then told then to p***s of, not heard from them since.

 

They prey on people who fall into unfortunate situations and try to bleed them dry.... tell them to put up or shut up( that's polite). personally i would set fire to them all..... and laugh at them.

i totally agree with you them taking advantage of people. esp with the elderly. an elderly family member who has had problems in the past with them has had an account for years. however, slowly but surely people are getting wise and learning how to challenge these people. i have learnt so much today about the cca law/rules. i am convinced the dont have a cca for me after what ive read. and i know for a fact they defo will not have one for my family member. lets hope you dont get bothered by them anymore.

JDW made the news at ten last week. It showed inside theeir call centre. Out of 800 staff half didn't turn up for work. Said it was due to the snow but I suspect it was due to the dimwits not wanting to do their nasty job.

I hate these people too!!!

 

I am currently helping my wife deal with them as she is too unwell to cope.

 

They keep sending statements each month with massive interest and admin charges, even though I have CCAed them and got the usual piece of paper with no signature.

 

How can I get them to put up or shut up?

 

Should I write and tell them she has no intention of paying and to take her to Court or go away. I have been to Court over three of my cards and successfully defended each time so I am not worried about the prospect of this at all.

hi thanks pookey, i dont know about ppi's i am afraid.

 

from what i can make out, if you have sent a cca to jd williams, they have 12+2 to reply with either a legally signed cca that is enforceable or a letter informing of why they cannot provide this.

 

after the 12+2 days, if you have not recieved a enforcable cca then, as far as i am aware you are legally entittled to stop paying without further notice until such a time they can provide a cca.

 

at this point i would then write to them, i would say that i am not satisfied with the poor attempt to fulfill my legal request. i would tell them that i am not legally binded to any lawful cca which in effect means no outstanding debt. i i would also send a s.10 requesting them to give a detailed explanation of why they feel they have a legal right to share my personal data with third parties. i would then request that they immeditely stop sharing my data as there is no lawful reason as to why they are doing this.

 

(there are articles and legal terms of s.10 on this site, i cant remember all the info)

 

i would also consider sending a SAR.

 

thanks

Sorry, missed this earlier

 

What they do is send out a document to sign so they make sure they have a legally binding agreement, rather than take any chances on not being able to find the original. Some people are daft enough to sign and return it.

This is a problem I have. In 2008 I bought goods from them because I was going abroad for a few months and paid upfront. No mention of credit agreement and I certainly didn't ask for one. Whilst abroad my mum told me that I had letters back home to say that I had a credit limit with them. That I hadn't asked for! Fair enough, I said, though I didn't plan to use it as I learnt my lesson a decade earlier, in my early twenties, with store card debt. Well whilst abroad I went through a bad break up with my then boyfriend and before I got back I also had experienced a traumatic phsycial injury. I decided to 'treat myself' to some nice new clothes using the credit, after all, it can't hurt right? Fast forward to 2010 and as quickly as I was paying off the limit I had, they were putting it up. It started at just £150 and was over 2,000 by last year. At one point I was paying them £150 a month just to try to pay it off but the interest kept accruing. Anyway I am now in 2,250 debt to them and they are trying to get repayments.

My query is - I know what I'm like when it comes to store credit, hence why I didn't ask for credit and paid upfront for the goods. I was fine for ages but then a little vulnerability/crisis in my life and bang they had me by the short and curlies. Personally I think it should be illegal. They have effectively committed fraud by opening a credit account without my knowledge. There was honestly no mention at the time I paid for the goods, I wouldn't have done it otherwise. Yes I shouldn't have ordered anything from them but it's human nature to do that and these sick companies prey on human nature. If I had asked for credit then I would take responsibility but I didn't even ask for it in the first place, and feel positively shafted.

What can I do, if anything??
