    • Hi all!   Thank you in advance for any help you can give me!!    I parked up (at 18:08) in a rush, entered my Reg and paid for an hour of parking. At 18:20 I got a ticket for not paying for parking.    I've just looked at my receipt and noticed why ... I put "22" instead of "21"  when i put in my Reg. yes... what a stupid mistake.    I seem to remember there being a court case or a rule change about entering the wrong reg but the company wasn't at a loss because i had paid for the parking just technically for the wrong car. Am i making that up?    Any advice would be gratefully received, even some key points i have to hit when doing the appeal      
    • You haven't returned to the thread to give us your views, but a couple of other things strike me which you should consider: 1. You say that at no time was your father's licence revoked by the DVLA. It didn't have to be revoked. It expired in September and his "entitlement to drive" (of which the licence provides proof) expired along with it. He could only continue driving whilst his application was being processed by virtue of s88, and it seems clear to me (based on what you have said) that he was not able to take advantage of the benefits provided by that section. 2. The letter he received threatening to revoke his licence was probably a template letter sent when any medical issues are brought to the attention of the DVLA. But it is clear that beyond September until it was eventually renewed, your father had no valid licence to be revoked. I believe a "not guilty" plea in court will fail. The basic facts are that your father's licence expired in September, it was not renewed until February because the DVLA were looking into his medical declaration and he could not take advantage of s88. So in December he had no licence and no entitlement to drive under s88. The facts that he believed he was fit to drive and that his licence was eventually renewed may mitigate the offence but they do not provide a defence. I also asked whether he had received a summons (very unusual these days) or whether he had received a "Single Justice Procedure Notice". The way to proceed from here differs slightly depending on what he has received so if you let me know, I'll advise further.  
    • Well, what I've read from various sources suggest if a CCJ is 6 years old that if becomes pretty much ineffective for enforcement purposes in its original form.  And that if it's about to expire then the claimant needs to apply to the court to extend the original CCJ within the final year.  Even if they do apply for an extension within the 6 years they have to have a very strong argument for doing so such as the person being out of the country or could not be traced, basically show they were actively still perusing the debt I guess. Now if a claimant ever does apply within the 6 years to extend the CCJ, would the person named on if be notified by the court that such an application has been made?.  In my case I've heard nothing from the court so assume no such application has been made.  The original CCJ in my own case is now a year beyond the 6 years of issue so must now make things even less likely again. So whilst the CCJ exists that they have not enforced it in that time must surely make it unlikely they can now take it back to court because as said it would be very rare for a judge to agree to such action now. That said, I guess they now can't use the CCJ to continue with any action for an attachment order to our mortgage either?

    • Well, they trashed their last election manifesto pledges, so nothing new really is it? They just find weasel words to try to claim they haven't actually failed if you just look at it just a little squinted and in this particular way  - and are stupid.

    • 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.

What is the best way to handle this problem:

I have a defaulted CC and have been paying the OC on an agreed basis since the default in early 2003

A request for an increase has been made but I explained that it is not poss.They want an Income & Expenditure from me.I sent one last year(Reluctantly)I said that my circumstances have not changed since the last one and that I do not have to comply.The response was that they will reintroduce interest back into the balance.

I have requested that they put in writing that they want an I&E statement.I have not requested a CCA 77/79.Should I do this at this stage or will it aggrevate them more?

It seems to me to be a threat and gives them a new twist to getting info from me,and ultimately more money.

I assume that they can re-introduce the interest and I would then be faced with an increasing debt.What would be my best approach here as I cannot afford more but I don't want an increase .

Thanks

Go for a CCA request. Amex tried this with me and I refused to give them i&e so they threatened court action, so I CCA'D them. Couldn't provide an agreement so now they get nothing, haven't paid them since July 2008. I haven't heard a word from them since January last year.

They really need to learn no to be greedy!

CONSUMER CREDIT ACT 1974

Xxxxxxx

Xxxxxxx

Xxxxxx

Date xx/xx/xx

 

 

 

To Whom It May Concern:

 

Your Reference: Agreement Number:

 

I DO NOT ACKNOWLEDGE ANY DEBT TO YOUR COMPANY

 

With reference to the above account, I request that you send me a true copy of this Credit Agreement before I will correspond further on this matter.

 

This is my right under the legislation contained within Section 77 (1) and Section 78 (1) of the Consumer Credit Act 1974, and I am entitled to receive a copy of my Credit Agreement on request.

Your obligation also extends to providing me with a statement of account. I enclose a £1 Postal Order, which represents payment of the statutory fee payable under the Consumer Credit Act. I understand that a copy of my Credit Agreement should be supplied within 12 working days from the date of this letter.

I also understand that under the Consumer Credit Act, creditors are unable to enforce an agreement if they fail to comply with a request for a copy of the Agreement under these sections of the Act.

In summary, I DO NOT ACKNOWLEDGE THIS DEBT AND THEREFORE REQUIRE YOU TO SUBSTANTIATE THIS BY PROVIDING THE FOLLOWING DOCUMENTATION BEFORE I CORRESPOND FURTHER :

1. True copy of original Credit Agreement

2. Statement of Account

3. Copy of the executed Deed Of Assignment

The time limits, which are laid down in the Consumer Credit (Prescribed Periods for Giving Information) Regulations 1983 are clear. You must supply an executed Credit Agreement within 12 + 2 working days of a proper Consumer Credit Agreement request.

As you are aware, a Credit Agreement that is not properly documented and signed by the customer is totally unenforceable under the Consumer Credit Act and therefore is a complete defence to any court claim that is issued.

Take note at this stage, that any legal action you may contemplate will be both vigorously defended and contested.

Further to the above, please ensure that any contact by you is made in writing only to the above address. Telephone calls and personal visits will not be accepted and viewed as harassment - Administration of Justice Act 1970, Protection from Harassment Act 1997, and Communications Act 2003. If you continue to harass me by telephone I will report you to OFCOM, Trading Standards and The Office of Fair Trading, meaning that you will be liable to a substantial fine

I look forward to hearing from you within the statutory time limit.

 

Yours faithfully

 

 

 

hope it helps

I'd would wait and see what you get back. You need to be firm with this and stick to your guns. You'll be surprised how quiet the DCA'S go when they realise that they can't bully you.

When did you open the original account and who is it with?

I know it's hard but don't worry about getting an enforceable agreement we can deal with that in the unlikely event that you get one!

They can call and ask for increases, you just say no. They soon give up when they know that you won't be bullied.

You need to stop them calling, so to be honest the easiest way is to change your phone no and be EX directory, be careful who you give it to. Get used to giving an incorrect no, unless you definitely want to be called back.

you can pay what you can afford..do not be bullied into paying anymore...my attitude with them is if they do not stop the interest then i will be paying them zilch....their choice...remember once it passes to the dca then they should not be adding interest or charges to the debt....worst case scenario..they take you to court..judge will only order you to pay what you can afford and the interest would be stopped immediately anyway...this adding interest to a person who is already having problems paying is nonesense..but then since when did the banks and credit industry care about its customers...i treat them the way they treat me....and then they still have to come up with an enforceable agreement

Halifax tried this one on me when I was in a DMP with the CCCS. The result was that I found this site, requested my CCA which turned out to be a big steaming pile of dung and I haven't paid them a penny for about 2 years.

 

I've just made them a F&F offer of 5%, just to get rid of it.

 

These people just never know when to stop. They haven't changed their practices at all for decades and even now they haven't cottoned on the the enlightened age of the internet, where groups like this are available to help people become aware of their rights and how to fight back.

 

They're dinosaurs and we all know what happened to them.

Well said stripper. I feel exactly the same way. I've started the ball rolling now in a bid to rid myself of my debts. I'm in a very strong position with most of them because so many are completely unenforceable. Of the others, well only one is giving me any real concern and I'm hoping that within the next week I'll get a letter which will enable me to deal with that one as well.

 

If it weren't for the CAG, I would still be in a DMP, scraping by on the bare minimum, with 6 years still to go and creditors on my back every 6 months.

 

I've said all along that I will settle my debts and I will, but now it will be on my terms. One day, hopefully in the not-too-distant future, I will be debt free. It won't happen quickly, but when it does I will still continue to frequent these boards to try and pass on the benefit of what I have learned in the past few years.

 

Regards.

I do have another question:If I request a CCA and it is received OK.Does this automatically get their backs up (remember I am still dealing with the OC)and then they really start hounding you?

If thats the case then of course I need to take a different approach but when things have been quiete for many years,is requesting a CCA the best route or just refuse to pay more when they come back once again.

its bloody difficult to get this balanced.I would appreciate some more advice and experience here.I am dealing with Natwest.Debt is since 2002 and defaulted early 2003.I dont want to rock the boat but I cant pay more and thats it.

Thanks

Stripper,

 

If you are paying all you can then that's it, it's as simple as that. They could, in theory, take you to court, but what happens then? You demonstrate to the Judge that you are paying all you can afford and they walk away looking stupid. So send off your CCA requests. It won't do you any harm and you might even benefit from it.

 

Regards.

asking for your cca is YOUR legal right...they are already asking you for more money refusing to stop interest....to hell whether it upsets them or not....as Fred has said..he will settle his debts but on his terms....you soon learn on here that most of these companies back down when you start to press your rights...who knows you may even have an unenforceable agreement..then the boot is most definitely on the other foot
