    • 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.

I have had an ongoing correspondence with CapQuest who now own a debt bought from Egg which was taken out in 2000 (one of the old CAs I think with missing prescribed terms). I have had a CCA and SAR which were complied with and the copy agreement sent - it was around March 2009. Just before Christmas they offered to reduce the debt if I paid it, which I didn't, and then yesterday they have sent a letter threatening to serve a Statutory Demand unless I pay up within 10 days. They offer again to reduce the debt from 2321 (this amount regulary changes with different letters) to 1400, and also offer to take monthly payments.

 

What about the missing terms? Can they issue a SD if the agreement doesn't comply? I don't get why they can issue a SD, then threaten bancruptcy - which I think means the debt would be wiped off - if they can legally get the money back if they have followed the rules.

 

The SD hasn't been served yet. Is this just a threat? If they serve this is it a matter of public knowledge like a bancruptcy? I would rather just pay up if this is the case.

 

Why do they go for bancruptcy if this doesn't get them the money? I don't own my own home or a car so I don't see the point. Why don't they enforce some kind of payment through the courts? It is all a complete puzzle. I am attaching a copy of CA to try to establish whether or not it's meeting requirements. I was hoping, I suppose, that because they were offering the reduced debt that this was their own desperate last attempt to get some money.

 

Do you think it is better just to accept the reduced debt to get rid of all the stress? The thing is they said that I had defaulted the debt, when I hadn't and could prove it, and added 1000 pounds worth of interestlink3.gif. They have subsequently taken it off but have never said what it was put on for, or even acknowledged that they were wrong about the payments. It was because of that that I started down this path with the CA and the validity of it. If they can I don't see why they haven't taken me to court before now

Thanks

It a similar situation with Cabot, they've issued me with a SD for a completely unenforceable agreement, and they know it!

 

They do this in an attempt to scare people into paying, and 99% of them will!

L/Woods B/Card/Cabot - Unenforceable CCA, SD Issued *WON+COSTS*

Capital One/Cabot - No CCA account irrecoverable.

Citi/DLC Hillesden - No CCA account irrecoverable

MBNA/Aegis - Unenforceable CCA

B/Card/HFO - Unenforceable CCA

Fashion World - No CCA account irrecoverable

How have you responded to the SD from Cabot? Is the SD a matter of public knowledge? I would die if everyone knew, and definitely won't let it go to the bancruptcy stage. I saw something elsewhere about getting SDs 'set aside' but don't really know what this is.

Hi series3, I'm not too good with the technical stuff! I have seen some of the 'what's wrong with them' posts and took some notes a while back but can't remember where I got them from:

 

'Approved limit - not sufficient to advise what credit limit is or how it will be decided therefore a prescribed term is not correctly stated (supporting case Central Trust plc V Sparway 2005

 

does not state rate of interest on cash withdrawals. Only states an APR which is not sufficient for cash purchases as cash purchases include a 1.25% handling fee which included in the APR.

 

Also para 22 of schedule 1 Consumer Credit Act regs require that the agreement details the default charges payable and Egg agreements do not.'

 

All sounds great, but no idea where I got the notes from and no idea if they are correct and would make the agreement void - what an airhead!

I haven't replied to the SD threat yet. Is it worth writing to them and repeating that the Egg Credit Agreement doesn't meet prescribed terms and if they issue then I will apply for a set aside. I really want to ignore them, but at the same time the doing and hearing nothing makes me nervous - especially as I am just watching a programme on debt and bailiffs!

IMHO, from the tone of your posts, I would make a counter offer for say 25-30% of the balance and get rid of it.

 

To fight this will involve attending Court, many 100s of hours reading researching and preparing and a fair bit of stress and worry.

 

If you've got the money, pay it off and get rid of it.

 

The letter will need to be carefully worded to inform them of your strong bargaining position, there are some on the forum, other wise if you do want to go this way I can PM some others to help with the letter.

Oh, the threat of an SD is just that a threat BUT it is an effective one for the reasons you've given.

 

Even a formal SD is not public so you can chill out.

 

You do need to do something though ...

yes I agree I must do something, but I'm not sure what the best way forward is. I'm a bit peed with them as they tried to say I had defaulted (I was paying them back) for 18 months, stuck a 1000 pounds worth of interest on, took it of when I proved I had paid but never acknowledged what had happened at all. Also, I have no default notice. I SARed Capquest but there is no record.

 

So you think then that they will go to court for the bancruptcy? I don't own anything, property or a car.

 

What is IMHO?

I was thinking maybe if they do issue the SD then I may get it set aside because of the missing prescribed terms? Also, looking at the copy statements from egg, they only start from 2002 but the card was taken out in 2000. I have until the 27 april to do something. I would make the offer I think, but would they not take this as a sign of weakness and go for a lot more. Plus, would they really accept this and that would be the final offer or in a year or so might they start pursuing me again.

IMHO = In My Humble Opinion

 

If you have the money to make an offer, like gh2008 said then, if worded right it would not show any weakness. Just that your aware of your strong bargaining position. If they sell the debt off to another DCA then they would sell it for far less than 25%.

you have to decide what is best for you.

Help is here either way. Only you can decide.

I also received a SD from Crapquest, and also do not own a property. From what i have been reading, it seems that it is usually just a scare tactic on their part. It would also cost crapquest at least £1000 to make you Bankrupt. I doubt very much that they would throw money down the drain when they know they have very little chance of seeing any reward.

 

I have decided to ignore my SD and see what happens. They might actually be doing me a favour if they follow through their threat :D

These debts are usually sold for a few pence in the £, so maybe 5% of their face value.

If the debt is under £5k then they will spend more in legal fees than they are likely to get back.

 

So, what they'll do is issue threats and generally hassle you for 6yrs. Then they'll sell it on to a low-life DCA who specialises in statute barred debts to have another go at you.

 

I know that if I had the money I'd pay them off and get rid of them - and I'm only 2 years down the line. 5 creditors and only 1 has tried legal action and failed. The others are huffing an puffing but only 1 has a real chance of winning.

 

As always the decision is yours - there is no easy fix. Live with the hassle or pay them off.

 

You do need to respond and you need to raise a clear dispute over the debt such as the unenforceable agreement. That way you should be protected from a SD.

Thanks everyone for the replies. I don't much mind the hassle of keep sending letters out to them, I have been writing to them for over a year now with this dispute.I have done the CCA and then a SAR. I have no default notice, never received a statement for the 3 years I was paying, and I have written a letter to them - which I am attaching - this letter was sent on 6 November 09 - would that be a clear dispute?

 

If my case is not strong then the debt is for 2300, they offer to reduce to 1393, 25% is around 600. I can manage to raise the 600 as this is my only remaining debt. Could you help with a letter to them? I have to reply to them before Tuesday.

 

I can't tell you how grateful I am for your responses. I know my problem is very small compared to some that people are facing, but 600 will not be easy to find.

I'll PM a couple of excellent letter writers for you.

 

before that though - there seems to be confusion over a Default Notice.

Did you get one? are they saying they sent one? Did you get a letter terminating the account?

My first correspondance re this account was from Capquest in 2005 saying that my account along with others had been sold to them by egg. I was paying them until they said I had defaulted (to CQ not egg). I hadn't actually defaulted, I was still paying and proved it, but it was that that set all of this off and I stopped paying then. They sent me a copy of a letter supposedly from egg saying that they had transferred my rights and my Egg card to CQ and that my existing relationship with Egg and the account had now ceased. This letter was dated 2009 (is this the termination of account? 3 years after CQ had claimed it?). I was sent the copy CCA and have all the egg statements etc. but I can see no notice of default from Egg.

If I correctly understand the position then this is the case...

 

1 Egg should not have sold on my debt as the Credit Agreement did not give permission for my personal data to be shared?

 

2 I have received no default notice from Egg (although I SARed CQ not Egg) or termination of account which means repudiation of contract and unlawful rescission?

 

Does this make it all unenforceable in a court of law?

They can sell your debt at any time, that would not be seen as sharing your data (like with a CRA)

 

repudiation of contract - maybe, but without termination the account is still live. They are allowed to withdraw credit facilities and allow you to pay it off as agreed at any time.

 

With a termination notice things change to your advantage usually.

 

Are they demanding the full outstanding amount?

If they are they should have served a compliant default notice, without that they can only demand arrears

They are threatening a SD to be issued on 27th and then bancruptcy (I have no property). They are asking for the full amount of 2300 but as a final conciliatory gesture will accept 1393.

 

They applied interest to this account at the beginning in the period of taking the debt from egg and contacting me (£160) - I didn't think they could do that.

 

Also, some of the letters sent to me when I SARed them are not the same as the ones I have - they have different signatures and some have slightly different wording.

 

Talk about confused! I kinda thought it would be a simple matter of the prescribed terms not being in the agreement and that would be that as far as the law was concerned. I knew they'd fight and there would be lots of letter writing but I was prepared for that, but not really court.

 

Some people think CQ are blustering, and others not. At the end of the day as I said I have no property so they won't get anything there, but I am working.

Subam, it doesn't matter whether you have any propety, your car is an asset! If CQ do issue you with a SD, you must get it set aside, there is that chance they are not bluffing!

I don't even own a car. I'm getting a bit fidgeting now that it is getting nearer to the 27th. I was wondering about offering them 500 as full and final settlement (I read that if the DCA are on shaky ground (still not sure if they are) they may well accept around 25% of the debt just to get something)
