    • 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 2024-01-15 DBCLegal SAR.pdf
    • 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.

Joseph,

If you google Hausfeld and get the London office contact numbers give them a ring and let us know how you get on it's a bloody scandal what they're doing to so many.

 

I e-mailed them yesterday and hope to be in contact today.

 

I think that it will greatly strengthen the case against BPF if trainees from other BPF-financed companies join together with your action.

I still was not called since last friday, makes me very suspicious of what they are doing.

Shall i even bother contacting FOS if i had this 1 year interest free period? It has only now been 8 weeks since BPF received my first letter.

I'm just thinking....

Some time ago I contacted CT for a course quotation using a fake name (I wanted to send it down to Ombudsman). They emailed it to me and started to chase me with phone calls - one, two times a day for two weeks. They apparently wanted my fake identity to enroll on the course :)

The calls ended last week and suddenly they started to ring again but changed the number they call from.

I just wonder which of my identities they try to contact now?

yes i got it as well but at that time my account should have been frozen which they chose not to do.

 

Def send it to the legal team. I have received afterwards a new offer with lower interest but going to write them that i am not accepting. Maybe buy time with another letter where you repeat yourself again, as they do not seem to get it, do they.

I got a letter sometime during the last week from BPF whilst I was away with my girlfriend, stating that I was in arrears of £235! Payments were due to start on 23/5/10, so I sent them an account in dispute letter and cancelled the direct debit. Bunch of jokers. I'm sure the FOS and the legal team will like this!

Hey all just caught up with all the reading, havent been on for a few days.

lewis2 I recieved an arrears letter this morning exactly the same as you. As for paying it they have no chance. My account is no longer in dispute as Barclays believe they have exhausted their complaints procedure and I have to pay. According to Barclays if I want to take the complaint further it will have to be through the FOS. Im just waiting to see if owt changes now Barclays have recieved the letter from legal team.

Lewis2 I also received the same letter today and I will be forwarding this to the legal team.

I was wondering if anyone on here who has written to BPF about putting there account into dispute had received a response from BPF or if they BPF just throw their mail away?

Send this letter to your bank if they threaten to issue a default notice:

ACCOUNT NUMBER: XXXXXXX

 

Dear Sirs

 

Re: Account in dispute

 

I am writing to clarify that I am currently in the process of having this account investigated by the FOS. I consider this account in dispute due to the facts I have made in my previous correspondence which has yet to be responded to. I am taking legal advice on this matter.

 

I note from your latest correspondence that you are proposing to issue me with a Default Notice on this account. I need to make you fully aware that I am disputing the sum owed and, as such, you must refrain from any further action until this dispute is fully resolved.

 

The current Lending Standards Board (Section 3.35) states:

 

Subscribers can give CRAs default information about a customer’s debts if:

the amount owed is not being disputed by the customer;and

the customer has not made a proposal that satisfies the subscriber for repaying the debt following the subscriber’s formal demand.

 

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.

 

If you do not stop this default action and proceed by making any adverse comments on my credit reference files, I shall be forced to take legal action against you under the Data Protection Act 1998.

 

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,

Still can't find it :(

 

They're expecting me to start paying again :lol:

 

It's on 'what you can do' page - need to scroll down to the link.

 

Website is all OK now, problem between Virgin and Webs.com (website host) is resolved so everyone should be able to access it properly again. The site was 'outlawed' bacause someone had illegal content (child porn) on a Webs.com site so the IWP that filters most sites blocked access to the WHOLE of webs.com, including every single site hosted with it! Better improve their filtering robots!

Well...after Barclays took the DD payment without aurthorization from me, they refunded it! Awesome!

Now today I have had a call from BPF debt collection saying I'm in arrears! NO S***!!!! And you are in breech of contract!

Bloody idiots! She said 'the calls will continue until your debt is payed.'

So I said 'I will continue to hang up on you until your debt to me is payed!'

She then asked if I could confirm my contact phone numbers....YOU JUST CALLED ME! CLEARLY THATS CONFIRMATION IN ITSELF!!!

 

Such willies!!! Won't be long now till we all meet up for a cyber beer of celebration! :)

 

Too right!! First round's on me!!:lol:

 

I can't believe the idiocy of BPF call staff, or to be fair most likely they have a brief to 'read this out to the dummy customer' board taped on their screen they have to follow.

 

I'm glad they seem to be laying off on hassling calls though, for some at least, since the letter went out. As soon as I get further news on their reply to the legal team I'll post on the website and flag it up here.

For those of you who have BT's preferred callers service, and are getting calls from CT.Tell CT you have this service and not to call you.There is still debate on the subject of BPF giving away your details as breaking 'The Data Protection act'

 

Or just be nasty and tell BT anyway . i think there could be fines for CT.:D

You did not give CT your details.

 

The BT service [which is free] is to stop companies cold calling to drum up business, and this is what CT are doing.

Without your signature maybe CT will not get money from BPF?
