    • just to be clear here..... the DVLA do not send letters if a drivers licence address differs from any car's V5C that shows the same driver as it's registered keeper.
    • 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.

Unfortunately I still can't really make it put enough to give clearer advice on it, except that it clearly states it is an application form, is there a 'Right to cancel' box on there?

 

Thanks for having a look.

 

Yes there is a box marked "Your Right To Cancel"

 

It goes on....Once you have signed this agreement you will have for a short time a right to cancel it. Exact details of how and when I can do this will be sent to you by post by the bank.

Then IMO it is unenforceable, however please wait until someone who knows about CCA's and what they are talking about confirms this for you.

That just confirms that it is an application form and not the actual agreement, as on the agreement they 'would' or 'should' have sent you it will clearly state on it that you have a right to cancel within X amount of days.

Who ever heard of someone getting a job at the Jobcentre? The unemployed are sent there as penance for their sins, not to help them find work!

Cheers for that.

 

The box "Your Right To Cancel" is on the lower right of the application form.Just above where it was signed by me. Above which is another box confirming that the info given by myself is true etc, and this box appears to have been writtten or signed on by someone called Hogan ??

 

There is nothing on the rear of the application relating to cancelling the agreement.

 

I will standby for someone else to give me their opinion.

 

I seem to think that a true copy of a CCA should be A4 in size?

 

Thanks again...Nice avatar...RA??

Hello All,

 

Well it`s been a while since I posted regarding my problems with LINK.

 

Until mid-January 2011 I had not heard from them since early May last year.

 

Anyway in mid-January 2011 I recieved a call from their office in South Wales.

 

They wanted me to go for a Full and Final Settlement - I told them that as I had not received a true copy off of the CCA I was still in dispute with them.

 

The woman on the phone said one would be sent, and that she would get back in touch and look at a Full and Final Settlement.

 

On 18 January 2011 I recieved 2 x photocopied A4 sheets from LINK. One showing the "Priority Application Form" and the other the "Terms and Conditions" . Exactly the same as the photo copied form that they sent me in May 2010, except that now its on two sheets of paper !!!

 

Its now nearly two months since LINK phoned me. I have had no further contact with them either by phone or in writing !!!

 

I would have thought that IF my account was enforcable that they would have been contacting me way before January 2011 - if it were. After all its an 8 month gap between sending a document that they claims fulfils their obligations.

 

Add to this the fact that they haven`t contacted me since they sent the A4 sheets in January 2011 - which would also seem to indicate that the agreement is not enforcable !??

 

Your thoughts please.

.....and so the saga continues !!

 

A few weeks ago I had a letter from a company called Elmswood - Which is part of LINK Outsourcing. The letter offered me a discount if I started to make payments again. As I do not beleive the agreement is enforcable I ignored it.

 

Anyway, today I have had a letter from LINK threatening court action if I do not contact them within 14 days.

 

I`m not sure if this a bluff on their part or not - after all the account has been in dispute for 18 months.

Hello doodlesack, just gone back over your thread to refresh my memory.

 

As this has been going on for so long now, the goal posts have moved, in their favour unfortunately.

 

The enforceability argument has been eroded somewhat due to the likes of rankine etc, so this shouldn't be relied upon as a solid defence.

However there is a thread on here which goes into some detail about how you can question reconstituted agreements and fight back. (They are now allowed to send recon agreements and have successfully used them in court to win)

 

Have you been able to learn how to post up your scans yet??

 

What does the letter from link say? If you can't scan and post it up, then if you can type out their exact words, less for your details etc.

 

Do they still use the words 'may' 'if' 'possible'?

Thanks for the reply Bazooka Boo. Hope the scans (above) are bigger?

 

 

I cant say I have heard of Rankine and I dont know anything about recon agreements - a little research needed on my part there !!

 

 

 

The letter reads:

 

LETTER BEFORE COURT ACTION

 

Link outsourcing limited has attempted to recover the outstanding balance from you but has however been unsuccessful.

 

County Court Proceedings will now be issued against you without further notice. We shall obtain and enforce a couty court judgement against you.This may affect your ability to obtain credit in the future.

 

You should be aware that where applicable contractual interest will continue to be charged on the outstanding balance until the debt has been fully repaid. although we will not ask you to pay anymore than the amount you would have paid if you had continued to pay your account as per the original terms of the agreement.

 

You may be liable for the costs of any action we take and statutory interest will accrue on your account at 8% for the full period. We will also impose a maximum fee of £130.00 which you will be liable for.

 

IF YOU WISH TO PREVENT THIS COURSE OF ACTION PAYMENT MUST BE RECEIVED IN FULL WITHIN THE 14 DAY PERIOD.PLEASE CONTACT AN OFFICER ON 02920 808698 AS A MATTER OF URGENCY

You'd be forgiven in thinking that they do this as a matter of routine and no-one defends their claims? "We will obtain and enforce county court judgement against you" Really? Are you seriously that confident?

 

Time to hit them with the big boys guns I believe, a CPR request for exactly what documents they hold in order to rely on in court and win this CCJ...

I deal with Commercial Contract Law for a living, from the Right ( Truthful Side) and under the Contracts ( Rights of 3rd Parties Acts) they have no call on you for this.. .It goes a bit deeper than that, & am happy to help you with this, but in Essence, thats the bottom line.

CPR 31.14 is a request for them to provide you with all of the details/paperwork they intend to use against you in court, less of a request, more of a demand, it simply tells them that you are not one of the sheep, and you will fight them every step of the way. (And in most cases win!)

Cheers for the replies.

 

So what did you make of the "Priority Application Form" / Terms and Conditions ??

 

Would that actually be considered as an agreement and more importantly would they be able to enforce it ??

 

Here they are again:

I wouldn't like to defend solely on the enforceability issue, you will be better pushing water up hill, the enforceability of paperwork is now as old as the wheel, they have been lucky and have managed to shift the goal posts, in their favour, you will need more than that to defend unfortunately.

Ok thanks for the info.

 

Reading between the lines, if they have all the paperwork it looks like I`m up the creek without a paddle !:???:

Hi davehayes if you have knowledge that

that third parties cannot chase debts it

would be most useful to be enlightened

as all the debt collection agencies and debt

purchasing companies are third parties assigned

to collect the debts or have bought them in view

of making a profit.

Can I still send a CPR even though they are only threatening court action at this stage ?

 

Oh yes without a shadow of doubt, this is often the favourite ploy of Bryan 'bloody' Carter, then when he receives the CPR request he soon scurries back off into his cave and hands it back to whoever is desperate enough for a suck on a lemon.

 

The CPR request, is telling them to provide you with all of the documents they intend to rely on in court to enforce a judgement, it costs you nothing less for the price of recorded delivery 1st class, and it may have the desired effect that they do indeed realise that they have nothing to put before a court, therefore will stop threatening legal action and actually behave like adults.

Dear Sirs

 

REQUEST FOR INFORMATION

 

I refer to your letter dated 25th August 2011.

 

Please treat this letter as my request made under CPR 31.14 for the disclosure and the production of a verified and legible copy of each of the following document(s) mentioned.

 

The information must be furnished within fourteen days of the receipt of this letter. If you fail to comply, this will be reported to the Court, a copy of this letter will be provided as evidence to the same and an Order enforcing your compliance will be sought.

 

1. A true copy of the executed credit agreement that applied to the account at the time of default and at the time the account was opened.

 

 

2. All records you hold on me relevant to this case, including but not limited to:

 

a. Transcriptions of all telephone conversations recorded and any notes made in relation to telephone conversations by your company, or by any previous creditor.

 

 

b. Where there has been any event in my account history over this period which has required manual intervention by any person, I require disclosure of any indication or notes which have either caused or resulted in that manual intervention, or other evidence of that manual intervention in relation to my account formerly held with MNBA.

 

 

c. True copies of any notice of assignment and/or default notice or enforcement notice that you or the original creditor sent me, with a copy of any proof of postage that you hold.

 

 

d. Documents relating to any insurance added to the account, including the insurance contract and the terms and conditions, date it was added and deleted (if applicable).

Yours sincerely,
