    • next time dont upload 19 single page pdfs use the sites listed on upload to merge them into one multipage pdf.. we aint got all day to download load single page files
    • If you have not kept the original PCN you can always send an SAR to Excel and they have to send you all the info they have on you within a month. failure to do so can lead to you being able to sue them for their failure.......................................nice irony.
    • Thank you and well done  for posting up all those notices it must have have taken you ages.. The entrance sign is very helpful since the headline states                    FREE PARKING FOR CUSTOMERS ONLY in capitals with not time limit mentioned. Underneath and not in capitals they then give the actual times of parking which would not be possible to read when driving into the car park unless you actually stopped and read them. Very unlikely especially arriving at 5.30 pm with possibly other cars behind. On top of that the Notice goes on to say that the terms and conditions are inside the car park so the entrance sign cannot offer a contract it is merely an offer to treat. Inside the car park the signs are mostly too high up and the font size too small to be able to read much of their signs. DCBL have not shown a single sign that can be read on their SAR. Although as they show photographs which were taken the year after your alleged breach we do not know what the signs were when you were there. For instance the new signs showed the charge was then £100 whereas your PCN was for £85. Who knows, when you were there perhaps the time was for 3 hours. They were asked to produce  planning permission which would have been necessary for the ANPR cameras alone and didn't do so. Nor did they provide a copy of the contract-DCBL  "deeming them disproportionate or not relevant to the substantive issues in the dispute" How arrogant and untruthful is that? The contract and planning permission could be vital to having the claim thrown out. I can find no trace of planning permission for the signs nor the cameras on Tonbridge Council planning portal. and the contract of course is highly relevant since some contracts advise the parking rouges that they cannot take motorists to Court. I understand that Europarks are now running that car park which means that nexus didn't  last long before being thrown out.....................................
    • Hi,   I am not sure if I posted this already here but I don't think I did. I attach a judgement that raises very interesting points IMO. Essentially EVRi did their usual non attendance that we normally see, however the judge (for the first time I've seen in these threads) dismissed the notice and awarded me judgement by default because their notice misses the "confirmation of compliance" paragraph. in and out in 3 minutes (aside from the chat at the end with the judge about his problems with evri) Redacted - evri CPR loss.pdf
    • Just to update this. I did apply to strikeout and they did not attend the hearing. I won by defualt and the hearing lasted 5 minutes (court only allocated 15). The judge simply explained that the only matter he was really considering is if the Defendant could have any oral evidence to defend the claim. However he said he had decided that based on their defence, and their misunderstanding of law, and their non attendence he did not think they had any reasonsable chance so he awarded me SJ + Costs on the claim form + the strikeout fee. Luckily when I sent the defendant the order I woke up the next day to a wire trasnfer for the full sum of the judgement

    • 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.

Has anyone received a letter from Barclays yet?

 

I know im going over old ground, but I sent 5 emails to advent requesting my exam codeand then decided I would call them today (11 feb 2010) and went to there website only to find the notice.

 

I didn't even get an email telling me what had happened.

 

I have took all the advise off here (thanks). But was wondering if anyone has received any news from the bank, I have been told the same as everyone else 'there is a letter....blah blah blah', as some people have been on the ball with this from day one.

 

I also suspect there is people out there that are unaware of the situation, as I only contacted my mentor when I wanted to sit an exam.

 

I was on an interest free loan which I have been paying for a year. (5.5k)

Many have had letters from BPF saying that Advent are gone and that they are trying to make arrangements with an alternative provider and that you should continue paying as normal in the meantime.

 

If you think about the scale of the problem (1000's of accounts) this could

take some time - if it ever happens and in the meantime you're still paying.

 

What most are doing or have already done is to insist the BPF 'freeze' the account until such time as they can honour their obligation.

 

Example letter you can adapt here:

 

Dear Sir/Madam

 

Than you for you letter of the ***********concerning the above.

 

From this I note, you recognise your responsibilities under Sec 75, Consumer Credit Act 1974, in that you are trying to source an alternative training provider. It is very obvious however, that this may well be a protracted process due to the sheer number of customers and accounts involved.

 

You say in the meantime that my account will continue as normal. This situation is clearly NOT normal. In effect you are saying: that I should continue to pay for a service which is not being provided and which might, (or might not), be provided at some indeterminate point in the future.

 

Therefore I insist that:

 

You ‘freeze’ this account, (including interest) until such time as you can in fact source an alternative provider, that is capable in all respects of fulfilling the contract that has been breached.

 

You confirm in writing that you have taken the above action and that it will not result in adverse data being entered on my credit file.

 

Please give this matter your urgent attention.

 

Yours faithfully

 

I used this on behalf of a relative and they confirmed in writing - the account on hold, the DD is cancelled and that it will not affect your credit rating.

 

David

Afternoon all,

Has anyone had any dealings with RBS over this? That's who I've got my CDL with but nearly everyone on here seems to have theirs through Barclays. Just wondered if anyone had any tips on where to go from here really as I've spoken to RBS & they said the problem is with Advent & not them, so as far as they're concerned I have to start paying back the loan soon. Any ideas??

You have forgotten who is in charge James. They have no interest in anything the ordinary man in the street suffers. They might pay lip service to it but that's as far as it will go.

 

I have signed though.

I agree Milly after the government spends years telling us to get more skills and this firm promises you the world and just do not deliver. I believe the majority of Advents customers are victims. In the bigger picture when Barclays pulled the plug they knowingly or unknowingly stuffed advent anyhow, and now they want us to carry on paying? I for one do not feel morally obliged to pay them anything.

 

Its a shame life is not based on morals eh?

I've called barclay's and they told me they sent out correspondences to everyone and if we wanted a particular provider we have to send them the request in writing for them to consider. But they also stated to me when I asked, 'what if you can't find a alternative provider' I was told that each person would be looked into individually so I would assume it meant, how much service we had gotten will deduct from what they will pay out. Its just a assumption though, but I feel it may be the case :S

 

I also signed that petition btw
