    • 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.
    • Defence and Counterclaim Claim number XXX Claimant Civil Enforcement Limited Defendant XXXXXXXXXXXXX   How much of the claim do you dispute? I dispute the full amount claimed as shown on the claim form.   Do you dispute this claim because you have already paid it? No, for other reasons.   Defence 1. The Defendant is the recorded keeper of XXXXXXX 2. It is denied that the Defendant entered into a contract with the Claimant. 3. As held by the Upper Tax Tribunal in Vehicle Control Services Limited v HMRC [2012] UKUT 129 (TCC), any contract requires offer and acceptance. The Claimant was simply contracted by the landowner to provide car-park management services and is not capable of entering into a contract with the Defendant on its own account, as the car park is owned by and the terms of entry set by the landowner. Accordingly, it is denied that the Claimant has authority to bring this claim. 4. In any case it is denied that the Defendant broke the terms of a contract with the Claimant. 5. The Claimant is attempting double recovery by adding an additional sum not included in the original offer. 6. In a further abuse of the legal process the Claimant is claiming £50 legal representative's costs, even though they have no legal representative. 7. The Particulars of Claim is denied in its entirety. It is denied that the Claimant is entitled to the relief claimed or any relief at all.   Signed I am the Defendant - I believe that the facts stated in this form are true XXXXXXXXXXX 01/05/2024   Defendant's date of birth XXXXXXXXXX   Address to which notices about this claim can be sent to you

    • 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.

Just bounced over here from the main Advent thread. Dont know if this is of any help but i'm paying direct debit to BPF and I got my account put on hold as soon as Advent went under. I requested a letter confirming that this was the case.

 

Before I got that though I got a letter saying I had missed payments, demanding monies etc. I phoned em up straight away and they told me that it was basically a clerical error as those letters are sent out automatically and that my account being on hold was an exceptional case which has to be administered by hand. Basically told me to ignore the demand letter. I asked for that to be put in writing which they have actually done and included in that letter was the confirmation of my account being on hold.

Don't hold your breath.

 

If they have issued a written demand that will stand on the record. They will have no recollection of phone conversations.

On xxxxx you informed me my account was on hold, however now you have issued an arrears letter which will in fact be reflected on my credit file.

The letter is dated xxxxxxx

 

As there is NO service being provided and account is on hold the Direct Debit was cancelled on your instruction. xxxxxx

 

You are aware of your responsibility under the Data Protection Act to ensure that information reported to the CRA's is accurate and if not so, gives cause of action for damages if shown not to be the case.

 

In light of your previous letter I insist that you withdraw the arrears notice and modify the data the data that you are reporting.

 

Please confirm by return that you have done so.

 

Yours faithfully

 

 

Just put your dates in the x's

 

 

Hi Bluedo,

Just to let you know I have posted the letter to BPF today and I'll let you know if I get a reply. Thanks once again.;)

Hi there. Sorry I was probably not clear, and this is not to defend BPF in any way but I have actually received a letter from them telling me I can ignore the written demand for late payment and that it was sent out in error/automatically/unneccesarily/etc.

Hi Boosh,

It was actually Cashins who worded that letter and helped me with it this site's been a godsend don't know where I'd have been without it. :D

Hi Bluedo

 

I understand that martin has been very busy, he has also been very quiet, if you have more contact with him than the rest of us then the question on how he is getting on would be very helpful. I have had a letter from BPF after the FO got in contact with them, but they are using a cardiff address, I've been sending all my mail to the Glasgow address, do you know what that is all about?

In March they shut the Glasgow office and moved it to Cardiff but you'll notice it's a PO Box number in Glasgow well that mail will probably be redirected to Cardiff.

If you make sure anything you send is recorded delivery then they'll not be able to deny receiving it.and you can track it.

I've sent a message see if we can get some advice here.

It's tough enough without getting payment demands on top that's more stress it's a nightmare

Hi

 

I was and Advent student, I took out a loan with Barclays Partner Finance and started paying straight away. I started my course in October 08, but put it on hold in November 09 due to a family bereavement and I have not as yet passed any exams.

 

I paid my loan off (after changing my financial situation) in August 09, so I do not currently make payments to Barclays, but have paid them just less than £6000 for training.

 

After everything that has happened, and after assessing Computeach, both before I chose to study with Advent, and again now, I do not wish to continue my training. I am now £6000 out of pocket, which is a huge amount of money to me.

 

Do you have any advice for me considering that I have already paid Barclays in full?

 

I have called Barclays and asked if I can cancel and have my money back twice. The first time I was told that if I did not wish to continue after I had been given the option of studying with someone else, that I would be eligible for compensation, however the second time I called, I was told that there was no way I would get my money back. I have not yet written to Barclays, or responded to the Computeach letter.

 

Help would be greatly appreciated.

 

Many Thanks

With regards to Barclays Partner Finance has anyone ever succeeded in achieving refunds?

 

On this site - no.

 

There have been reports on other sites but they appear to be just that - reports.
