    • I have just read the smaller print on their signs. It says that you can pay at the end of your parking session. given that you have ten minutes grace period the 35 seconds could easily have been taken up with walking back to your car, switching on the engine and then driving out. Even in my younger days when I used to regularly exceed speed limits, I doubt I could have done that in 35 seconds even when I  had a TR5.

    • Thank you for posting up the results from the sar. The PCN is not compliant with the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012 Schedule 4. Under Section 9 [2][a] they are supposed to specify the parking time. the photographs show your car in motion both entering and leaving the car park thus not parking. If you have to do a Witness Statement later should they finally take you to Court you will have to continue to state that even though you stayed there for several hours in a small car park and the difference between the ANPR times and the actual parking period may only be a matter of a few minutes  nevertheless the CEL have failed to comply with the Act by failing to specify the parking period. However it looks as if your appeal revealed you were the driver the deficient PCN will not help you as the driver. I suspect that it may have been an appeal from the pub that meant that CEL offered you partly a way out  by allowing you to claim you had made an error in registering your vehicle reg. number . This enabled them to reduce the charge to £20 despite them acknowledging that you hadn't registered at all. We have not seen the signs in the car park yet so we do not what is said on them and all the signs say the same thing. It would be unusual for a pub to have  a Permit Holders Only sign which may discourage casual motorists from stopping there. But if that is the sign then as it prohibits any one who doesn't have a permit, then it cannot form a contract with motorists though it may depend on how the signs are worded.

    • 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.

As I have said many times-Barclays are not credited with the art of resolving customer dispute issues to customer satisfaction-they will fight tooth and nail to say you are wrong and have no cause for complaint.

Of couse most can be forgiven for thinking that such a great British institution could never dent its home base-except you should know that Barclays is no longer the friendly bank that we thought.

Its interest and indeed shareholders are global-it is now as much British as Cadburys or Beechams of couse we use them but only because we have grown up to trust them.

So keep everything like they do-with no scruples.

Those victims (and I say victims because it is very descript)

who can clearly show dispute on the basis of contractual issues or duty of care,are within their rights to formally put their accounts into dispute forthwith and cease further payments pending getting resolution from Barclays.

This will mean putting them on notice of that in writing.But the reasons for doing so will need to be just and outlined clearly.

Of course they will be more quicker to respond than we have seen in many instances.

Organisations like Barclays are not where they are because they have agreed with their customers complaints.

Lets remember they are pretty ruthless and will not roll over-any Barclays claimants from the last 4 years from the CAG will tell you this.

But they are not above the law and not exempt from reproach-just remember that too.;)

I dont want to say too much which will give Barclays any upper hand,but will be responding to those who have asked for help by way of the red triangle.

Theres 100 now so please be patient-I guess it will take a couple of days to go through.

Hi Martin.

 

I forgot to send my complaint letter & request for a copy of credit agreement to BPF by registered post. Do you think I should send another one immediately or wait the 14 days first? :confused:

 

For the sake of £1 for the fee and £1.something for recorded delivery I personally would send again.

 

Lets be clear-they will not be in any hurry to send it if you cant prove that you sent it.

 

For clarifacation to others-Under the Consumer Credit Act there is a stat fee of £1 for a lender to provide you with copies of documents you are entitled to see under your agreement.

This not only covers a copy of the actual agreement-but can iclude a statement of account history showing payments / interest etc.

Postal orders are ok for this.

Make it clear that this £1 is being sent for the request and should not be used for any other purpose ie;for arrears.

You should also be aware of sending your sig.

We advise printing your name or else using a digital sig.

Always send recorded and keep a copy.

Make sure that it is also sent to the right address.

For a request under CCA it should be their registered offices.

For a SAR it needs to go to their data controller.

The addresses are available on public registers accessible on the internet

For SAR that can be found on ICO website

For CCA can be found via Consumer Credit licence public register.

Hi Mantaxi

They seem to just be keeping sending letters saying we hope to have this resolved by the next date. I've had 3 letters one dated 1st march ,15th march and 28th that one saying he expects to have the complaint resolved by 12th april and telling me to refer the complaint to the FLA they don't have a solution and I think they're snookered. but will fight to the bitter end.

Hi everyone

 

Apologies if you haven't received a personal reply yet but, yes, hotmail only allows so many a day and I've had over 300 replies now, between here and the Facebook crowd.

 

Rest assured you'll go on the list as the emails over the past 4 days have all been saved but time-wise it's proving an impossible task to get back to everyone individually so I won't be doing that any more.

 

I've been in contact with our lawyer and we discussed that I set up a blog site for all the ex-Advent students where bulletins, advice and guidance from them, can be posted. I'm in the middle of doing that. There will be a small form to fill in with details they'll need from everyone such as how much your loan was, who it was with etc.

If anyone is reading who had a loan from Anglo Capital or Hitachi please pm me. Thanks. The lawyers will need to see a sample agreement with those companies to see if you can be included along with the BPF people.

 

I can't give legal advice obviously as I'm not qualified (for those who have contacted me with questions), please realise I'm just the co-ordinator.

 

Thanks. :)

This is a requirement under FSA complaints handling guidelines.

An organisation dealing with a complaint HAS to send a letter every 14 days until its resolved or the 8 weeks are up and then must give a final response.

 

The FLA of course represents THEM-just as the BBA does with the banks and the CSA does debt collectors.

So their interests are shall we say a little vested.

Although subscribers to any codes of practice laid down by the FLA would be in breach of CPUT if they were found to be in non compliance of codes they were expected to be upholding.

A few people have asked for a template letter Cashins originally worded this letter I have modified it if it is suitable to send please comment.

A WARNING to anyone using it if you threaten to take legal action you must follow through

Plus could I also add in I now consider this account in dispute.?

 

Account number

Default Notice

 

Dear/Sir Madam

 

Following the closure of Advent Consulting Ltd, you have failed to honour the terms of their contract for which you are jointly and severally liable under S75, Consumer Credit Act 1974.

 

Specifically, you have failed to find a suitable alternative training provider capable of fully assuming the functions specified in the Advent Consulting Ltd contract.

 

To remedy this breach you must, by ...Insert Date...

The training provider does not fully fulfil the terms of the Advent Consulting contract therefore I request you, cancel the above credit agreement and refund all payments made.

 

In the event of you failing to remedy the breach by ...Insert Date.. legal action may commence under S75, Consumer Credit Act 1974, with no further warning.

 

Yours faithfully

 

Yes this is ok to address the section 75 recourse where it is applicable.

The letter I have been working on includes other things and the complainant would remove sections that dont apply before sending.

No dealing by phone takes away your powers and you are left with no record.

These things need to be done in writing and sent with proof of postage and delivery.

They know then that they have to look at it.

Especially if you put them on notice that you will take it further.;)

 

Have you got proof that you was trying to cancel since December ?

 

unfortunately no :( i 1st rang them before any of this started, and tried writing to barclays once to cancel, of which i have a copy of the letter

I'm due to start making payments on the 16th April 2010.

 

Can anyone advise how to approach barclays in means of a letter to keep the payments delayed?

 

Should i just keep the direct debit cancelled and let them put charges on the account?

 

I will not be paying them, I'm looking for the best way to go about it.

 

Thanks

 

hey DjOneel

 

im due to start paying on 1st may, what have you done regarding payments?

Hi all, haven't posted for a while, but just had a 45 page email from PKF detailing their involvment and the whole situation. I'm sure others have also recieved this and the part I'm most interested in is in the FAQ's section which some may have seen on the website, but anyway, it says, "What if I don't want to continue my training - how do I get my money back? Answer: Clearly, any student is entitled to cancel their training at any time. However, how you paid for your course fees willl ultimatley determine your right to recover monies previously paid. BPF Students seeking to recover monies previously paid and/or to discuss any outstanding finance balances should contact Barclays Partner Finance".

 

Well I think we all know what we get if we call BPF to discuss this, but the administrators seem to believe the same as us - we're entitled to our money back.
