    • sorry she is a private individual, the cars are parking on her land. she can clamp the cars. only firms were outlawed from doing it bazza. thats what the victims of people dumping cars on their drives near airports did and they didn't not get prosecuted.    
    • The DVLA keeps two records of you. One as a driver and one for your car. If they differ you might find out in around a month when they will send you a reminder as well as to your other half for their car. If you receive nothing then you can be fairly sure that you were tailgating though wouldn't explain why they didn't pick up your car on one of drive past their cameras. However even if you do get a PCN later then your situation will not change. The current PCN does not comply with the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012 Schedule 4 which is the main law that covers private parking. It doesn't comply for two reasons. 1. Section 9 [2][a] states  (2)The notice must— (a)specify the vehicle, the relevant land on which it was parked and the period of parking to which the notice relates; The PCN states 47 minutes which are the arrival and departure times not the time you were actually parked. if you subtract the time you took to drive from the entrance. look for a parking place  park in it perhaps having to manoeuvre a couple of times to fit within the lines and unload the children reloading the children getting seat belts on  driving to the exit stopping for cars pedestrians on the way you may well find that the actual time you were parked was quite likely to be around ten minutes over the required time.  Motorists are allowed a MINIMUM of ten minutes Grace period [something that the rogues in the parking industry conveniently forget-the word minimum] . So it could be that you did not overstay. 2] Sectio9 [2][f]  (ii)the creditor does not know both the name of the driver and a current address for service for the driver, the creditor will (if all the applicable conditions under this Schedule are met) have the right to recover from the keeper so much of that amount as remains unpaid; Your PCN does not include the words in brackets and in 2a the Act included the word "must". Another fail. What those failures mean is that MET cannot transfer the liability to pay the charge from the driver to the keeper. Only the driver is now liable which is why we recommend our members not to appeal. It is so easy to reveal who was driving by saying "when I parked the car" than "when the driver parked the car".  As long as they don't know who was driving they have little chance of winning in court. This is partly because Courts do not accept that the driver and the keeper are the same person. And because anyone with a valid motor insurance policy is able to drive your cars. It is a shame that you are too far away to get photos of the car park signage. It is often poor and quite often the parking rogues lose in Court on their poor signage alone. I hope hat you can now relax and not panic about the PCN. You will receive many letters from Met, their unregulated debt collectors and sixth rate solicitors threatening you with ever higher amounts of money. The poor dears have never read the Act which states quite clearly that the maximum sum that can be charged is the amount on the signs. The Act has only been in force for 12 years so it may take a  few more years for the penny to drop.  You can safely ignore everything they send you unless or until they send you a Letter of Claim. Just come back to us if they do send one of those love letters to you and we will advise on a snotty letter to send them. In the meantime go on and enjoy your life. Continue reading other threads and if you do get any worrying letters let us know. 
    • Hopefully the ANPR cameras didn't pick up the two vehicles, but I don't think you're out of the woods just yet. MET's "work" consists of sending out hundreds of these invoices every week so yours might be a few days behind your partner's. There is also the matter of Royal Mail.  I once sold two second-hand books to someone on eBay.  Weirdly the cost of sending them separately was less than the cost of sending them in one parcel.  So to save a few bob I sent them seperately.  One turned up the next day.  One arrived after four days.  They were  sent from the same post office at the same time! But let's hope I'm being too pessimistic. Please update us of any developments.

    • 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 guys,

 

I wondered if you could help me...

 

I took out a loan with Welcome Finance and wondered if you could possibly have a look at the credit agreement and tell me where I stand with it?

 

I am currently disputing charges and mis-sold PPI and am awaiting to hear back from them and wondered if there was anything else that I should dispute within my agreement.

 

WF, as i'm sure many of you agree, are vile and not to mention rip off merchants and need to taught a lesson or two on honesty and customer services :) !

 

Have heard many horrendous stories about them and am quite suprised that I have not heard from them since Friday. Is this the norm?

 

Fingers crossed I have a case and that my letter sent to them was ok?

 

Look forward to hearing from you.

Dear Sir or Madam,

 

Account/Agreement number: ##########

RE: PPI and unlawful charges/interest

I purchased the above policy from you on 24/01/08 but now believe that I was mis-sold this policy for the following reasons:

 

This is due to the fact that I was not given the correct information when the policy was sold to me, as your salesperson stated that taking out the policy would assist with my credit application and that I would not be able to have the loan without it.

 

Your salesperson was very pushy in selling me the policy so that I felt I could not say no and the application process was very rushed and forced upon me.

 

Your salesperson did not tell me that the policy was optional nor does the listed breakdown of cost for insurance add up to my loan term of 36 months and nor was I aware of the added interest on it and is it clear on the payment breakdown.

 

Your salesperson stated that taking out the policy was essential for me to get the associated credit even though I had already taken a loan out with you prior to the loan I am now disputing.

 

Your salesperson did not give me full information on what the policy would and would not cover and the term/duration of cover.

 

I am also concerned that the sales assistant that sold me the policy has no financial background and the policy was not sold in my best interests.

 

Unless you can satisfactorily justify to me that the policy was fair and reasonable I am requesting a full refund of all premiums, and subsequent interest on these payments, that I have paid to date. As I believe I have been deprived of this money I also expect 8% statutory interest, the amount a court would award, to be added to each payment made.

I too would require that you arrange for the restructuring of the loan and to write off any charges (and any interest on them) which would not have arisen, if the monthly payment had been the lower amount that would have applied if there had been no PPI policy.

 

I also wish to know the following - and more so, should you dispute that my complaint is not for the interest of WF and for the supposed insurance company, although I am very aware that you ARE and I have been advised so:

 

The name of the Insurance company the supposed policy is held with?

 

How much of my Insurance Premium was paid directly to the Insurer (exact figure)?

 

How much was paid in Insurance Premium Tax?

 

Did Welcome pay this tax or the Insurer?

 

As a member of the Finance and Leasing Association - who is your Code Compliance Officer?

 

When was your last annual statement of compliance submitted to the FLA?

 

I also wish to dispute the given breakdown for credit and question why I am being charged 42.37% and then 40.10% again for insurance and an acceptance fee and ask that you provide me with your calculation and why I am again paying 2.8% on another breakdown. These calculations/costs were again, not fully explained to me upon agreement, nor do they make any sense or are they in line with what I was told by your advisor. I must remind you that it is a responsibility of your own to make all calculations/breakdowns to be listed clearly and as your breakdown does not reflect the total cost of things like insurance etc it is evident that I was ill advise and this loan agreement was again mis-sold.

 

I must also stress that as it was evident to you/your advisor that when you accepted my application for credit, you were aware that I had no financial background or knowledge in this area and I strongly feel that you have taken me for a ride and by selling me an unclear and complicated agreement and policy. I too, would like to point out that your advisor had even listed the wrong year on my application/breakdown which would again, reflect the lack of training and knowledge that your salesperson/advisor had and the rush of my application. If your advisor is unable to recognize what year it is, I would then question on what basis does he have to sell to me financially let alone to actually advise me.

 

I too wish to dispute why my statement has inconsistent amounts of ‘capitalization’ and why the ‘stated’ amount of provided credit (listed on my statement) differs to the amount listed on my agreement.

 

 

I too wish to dispute charges on the account (to include interest) E.G payment reversal/failed debit charges – if you look at my payment methods this year, you will note that I had stopped my direct debit and in turn, provided payment to you over the phone each month. Therefore, I cannot understand why you continued to make debits from my account when it had been explained to you that I has cancelled this method of payment and you had noted my new payment method. Therefore, I again, expect all charges (to include interest) to be refunded and erased asap.

 

I look forward to a full and prompt response to this letter and for the matter to be concluded or I will have no option but to contact the Financial Ombudsman to investigate my complaint. I expect a refund in FULL to include all interest and will not except any less. Should you deem my request to be unacceptable, I will do everything within my right to reclaim these unlawful charges and hope that you would prefer to settle this matter before any further action is taken.

 

To sum this up, this account/agreement is in serious dispute and I will not be making further payments until this matter has be mutually resolved and am within my rights to do so. As this account is in serious dispute, I must state that you can not pass this account onto a collection agency nor can you default my account and pass these details onto a third party and whist this complaint is in place. I will expect you to note that I will be checking my credit file daily for any illegal entries.

 

I look forward to hearing from you and ask that all future responses are done so in writing.

 

Yours faithfully,

ACCOUNT IN DISPUTE

Dear Sir or Madam,

 

ACCOUNT NUMBER:

 

As per my previous letter to you regarding my dispute with Welcome finance Ltd regarding mis-sold Payment Protection Insurance, I have again enclosed my letter which was sent to you by recorded delivery and fully documents my reasons why this account is in major dispute.

I would like you to note that I am still being pursued by Welcome Finance for payment and would expect that no further calls or demands continue whilst this account is in dispute.

 

I am of the view that any continued phone calls or demands and harassment of payment by telephone puts you in breach of Section 40 of the Administration of Justice Act 1970.

 

You will be aware that under the Banking Code, to which you subscribe, you may not default my account or take further enforcement action whilst the debt is in dispute and feel that it is in both of our interests to come to a swift and satisfactory resolution.

 

I would also like to make you aware of The Office of Fair Trading Code of Guidance in which it states: “Putting pressure on debtors or third parties is considered to be oppressive. This includes, ignoring disputes about whether money is owed and refusing to freeze action if the debt is in dispute”.

 

I, therefore, hope to receive your full co-operation in this matter and would like to request a written response to that effect.

 

Yours Sincerely

this will be a long one so stay with me

 

total amount of credit

(b) £726.58

© £370

(d) £2500 total £3596.58

 

that is over 36 months at 42.37 % apr

that works out at

 

a monthly repayment of £164.43

interest £2322.97

total repayable £5919.55

 

INSURANCE

 

cash price of insurance £370 over 36 months at 42.37 % apr gives

 

a monthly payment of £16.91

interest £238.97

total repayable £608.97

 

so lets add interest on the loan £2322.97, and interest on the insurance £238.97 gives an interest total of £2561.94

we add the acceptance fee to this of £75 , which gives £2636.94

 

so interest and fees

£2636.94 add insurance with amount of credit

£370

total repayable £6603.52
