    • Well we can't predict what the judge will believe. PE will say that they responded in the deadline and you will say they don't. Nobody can tell what a random DJ will decide. However if you go for an OOC settlement you should still be able to get some money
    • What do you guys think the chances are for her?   She followed the law, they didnt, then they engage in deception, would the judge take kindly to being lied to by these clowns? If we have a case then we should proceed and not allow these blatant dishonest cheaters to succeed 
    • I have looked at the car park and it is quite clearly marked that it is  pay to park  and advising that there are cameras installed so kind of difficult to dispute that. On the other hand it doesn't appear to state at the entrance what the charge is for breaching their rules. However they do have a load of writing in the two notices under the entrance sign which it would help if you could photograph legible copies of them. Also legible photos of the signs inside the car park as well as legible photos of the payment signs. I say legible because the wording of their signs is very important as to whether they have formed a contract with motorists. For example the entrance sign itself doe not offer a contract because it states the T&Cs are inside the car park. But the the two signs below may change that situation which is why we would like to see them. I have looked at their Notice to Keeper which is pretty close to what it should say apart from one item. Under the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012 Schedule 4 Section 9 [2]a] the PCN should specify the period of parking. It doesn't. It does show the ANPR times but that includes driving from the entrance to the parking spot and then from the parking place to the exit. I know that this is a small car park but the Act is quite clear that the parking period must be specified. That failure means that the keeper is no longer responsible for the charge, only the driver is now liable to pay. Should this ever go to Court , Judges do not accept that the driver and the keeper are the same person so ECP will have their work cut out deciding who was driving. As long as they do not know, it will be difficult for them to win in Court which is one reason why we advise not to appeal since the appeal can lead to them finding out at times that the driver  and the keeper were the same person. You will get loads of threats from ECP and their sixth rate debt collectors and solicitors. They will also keep quoting ever higher amounts owed. Do not worry, the maximum. they can charge is the amount on the sign. Anything over that is unlawful. You can safely ignore the drivel from the Drips but come back to us should you receive a Letter of Claim. That will be the Snotty letter time.

    • 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 someone can point me in the right direction please.

 

I'd like to S.A.R Egg so i can claim back the charges on my account, it's in default at the min and i think there's probably a lot of charges so should make quite a dent in the balance.

 

I've had a look for the template letter but can't seem to find it, could someone please let me know where it is?

 

Many Thanks

Hi All,

 

Just wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction.

 

I've sent an SAR request to Egg, not well over the 40 day limit and i've had no response.

 

The account is being collected by DLC and i've reduced their monthly payment to one i can afford - the pushed me into paying back more than i could afford before i found this site!

 

DLC are threatening me with court action even though i've sent repeated letters stating i'm disputing the charges with Egg. I'm not unwilling to pay, just unwilling to pay the charges as i know there must be a hefty amount making up the balance.

 

Just wondering if there's a letter i can send to Egg to chase up the SAR request, i gather they tend to drag their feet a bit in the hope you forget. I don't want to ring them as they just say i need to deal with DLC and there's no way i want to speak to them.

 

Any advice appreciated.

Hi All,

 

I've got an outstanding debt with Egg that went into default in 08 and was passed onto DLC for collection.

 

Before i knew where i stood they bullied me into paying way more than i could afford each month. Thankfully i found this site and reduced the payments. They complained a bit but seemed happy enough to accept a smaller payment over none at all.

 

I've been paying the debt back for a year now apart from 3 months last year when the account was in dispute over excessive charges.

 

I've always been willing to pay back the debt and have always reponded to every letter thats been sent.

 

Lat week i recieved a letter from ARC Debt Management saying my account had been passed to them to collect as Egg have been unable to get anything from me! They've said i've got 10 days to make a substantial payment towards the balance and agree a repayment plan with them or they'll be taking me to court.

 

I don't really know where i stand with this one a i've been making payments and at no point have said i'm not paying it back. I don't want to call them as i know they'll just go all out with the threats so i start paying them.

 

Any advice would be much appreciated. Sorry its so long!!

thankyou but this letter is small compared to some,

now! your sustantial contribution now should be to cca the dca,they have 12 + 2 days to comply with this legal request ,never spk to them ever on the phone only communicate in writing,send cca with the £1 po fee and send it recorded delivery and do not ever sign anything to these leaches.

you dont have to agree any payment plan until when/if they can produce a valid cca.( threat of court just bully boy tactics if they could take you to court dont you think they would have by now!):-D:-D

Thank you both for the advice.

 

I don't really want to go down the CCA route as i'm pretty sure its an enforcable agreement and also i'm willing to repay the debt i just don't want to be forced into more debt by making stupidly high repayments just to please the dca.

Hi Natalie, I've recently CCA'd Arc regarding an Egg credit card debt.

 

They'll play dumb, and try to convince you you have to contact egg for the original agreement, I got a couple of phone calls and was very rude to them, told them to read the letters properly and get back to me with the information I had requested IN WRITING.

 

The next step will be a letter saying they've been in touch with Egg and you haven't CCA'd them yet, and around the same time I got a letter from Trevor Munn solicitors threatening court in 10 days. Then another one threatening court in 7 days.

 

The 30 days had passed on the 1st Jan so I sent them the 'account in dispute' letter and haven't heard anything since.

 

Good luck with them, although you won't need it.

Search 'arc' and 'trevor munn' on here, and don't worry:)

Hi all,

 

I previously posted in the debt collection forum but thought it might be worthwhile doing a post here too.

 

Basically i have an outstanding Egg card debt that has been passed to DLC and now onto ARC for collection.

 

I was making payments to DLC and only stopped when i disputed the charges on the account. At first DLC forced me to pay more than i could afford as i didn't know i had a choice. I susspect they've passed the account on as i reduced the monthly payments.

 

ARC sent me a letter saying i need to make a substantial payment and set up a repayment plan with them.

 

 

I don't want to cca them as i can't deal with the stress right now and just want to get something sorted so i can forget about it for a while.

 

Just wondering if anyone could help me put a template letter together saying that i'm willing to pay but can only afford xx amount etc.

 

I'm hoping to get this sorted asap as i understand the next lot of letters will be from Trevor Munn saying it'll be going to court.

 

Hope all that makes some sense.

 

Thanks in advance

i think we need to get all your various threads on this debt merged as its diff to know what has/has not been done/advised before.

 

if this debt is being passed around, then you need to CCa them regardless.

Hi Natalie,

 

The key to agreeing on a realistic payment plans is the Income and Expenditure list, a profound nuisance and intrusion. However for sure DCAs will insist on this, as they are under the whip from above to collect as much as possible. It need not be written on a form provided by the DCA, just an informal list to assure the other side you are not sitting on a golden egg and witholding payment while you quaff champagne.

 

They may aim for the best outcome imaginable, but when shown the realities they will grudgingly accept the best available.

 

Best of luck to yourself and the next generation.

thats better.

now it appears you CCA'ed EGG before and got nothing back....correct?

 

if this is so, then you are under no legal obligation to pay anyone ANYTHING, till a CCA is produced.

 

fire off the account in dispute/non compliance letter, thus putting the A/C in dispute and stop payments.

Thanks for merging these for me, wasn't sure if i could do that or not.

 

dx100uk, i didn't CCA them, i did send a S.A.R though to claim back the charges which they replied to.

 

I know i should be sending a CCA request but i'm reluctant to open that can of worms at the minute. After reading some of the other threads it seems that a lot are enforcable and i don't want the stress of trying to argue it out with them when i've got a new baby.

 

ARC keep stressing that the clock is ticking and no matter what i ask of Egg they'll still be chasing me.

 

I just want to try and get it under control before i have any more on my plate! I'd like to avoid an income/expenditure if i can as i want as little to do with the dca as possible. I know its likely they'll force the issue though and say they need one before i can set up a payment plan.

ARC sent me a letter saying i need to make a substantial payment and set up a repayment plan with them.

 

I'm happy to make a payment plan and set up a monthly payment to them but only the amount i can afford not what they demand. I'm due to have a baby in 6 weeks time and am not working so as far as the payment is concerned its a take it or leave it.

 

I don't want to cca them as i can't deal with the stress right now and just want to get something sorted so i can forget about it for a while.

 

Just wondering if anyone could help me put a template letter together saying that i'm willing to pay but can only afford xx amount etc.

 

 

 

Dear Inhumane DCA,

 

I have always been willing to make monthly payments to Egg, and I stopped monthly payments last June only because of awaiting settlement of my Penalty Charges Reclaim from Egg.

 

If you look back on my file I previously responded to every single letter from Egg. I remain willing to make monthly payments at an agreed level.

 

I am approaching maternity in 6 weeks. My baby is my first priority and I really cannot cope with the stress and drama of wrestling with debt collectors uttering dire threats. Currently I do not have earned income, and all I can afford per month is £x, unless you wish me to stop eating. If you must overstress me at this critical time by demanding an I & E list then say so.

 

If you choose to demand a monthly payment above £X -- that will not be possible, and you have nothing to gain. I have made clear the reasons why I cannot take stress right now, so if you continue with harassment I shall personally appeal to John Fingleton, CEO at the OFT, your licensor.

 

Yours sincerely,

 

Natalie

 

 

PS. The penalty charges reclaim initiative, has that been settled and repaid?

 

If not, that campaign is a whole lot easier than CCA and enforceability tussle, with 115 victories to 1 defeat. It involves just an exchange of letters, at worst three, because Egg does not want the alternative of going to court. Perhaps when you are better able to face it, to take up the cudgels again.

HI Nat and the baby

 

Dont be afraid of the cca, as it does not effect your rights, and you may even find yourself in a better financial position. dont do the I and E, tell them what you can afford and stick to it, however I would pursue the cca for now.

 

Cheers

 

Mr W

Well as i thought ARC have rejected my payment offer and have said they/their clients require an income and expenditure from me.

 

Am i right in thinking that the only people i'd have to provide this to are the courts?

 

Even if i do provide one it doesn't mean i'll be able or willing to pay any more per month than i've already offered.

 

They've said i've got 14 days to send the info or they'll instruct their solicitors who i believe are Trevor Munn. Does anyone know if they ever take anyone to court? I've seen threads where they've made threats but no idea if they ever take it further.

 

Thanks
