    • Northmonk forget what I said about your Notice to Hirer being the best I have seen . Though it  still may be  it is not good enough to comply with PoFA. Before looking at the NTH, we can look at the original Notice to Keeper. That is not compliant. First the period of parking as sated on their PCN is not actually the period of parking but a misstatement  since it is only the arrival and departure times of your vehicle. The parking period  is exactly that -ie the time youwere actually parked in a parking spot.  If you have to drive around to find a place to park the act of driving means that you couldn't have been parked at the same time. Likewise when you left the parking place and drove to the exit that could not be describes as parking either. So the first fail is  failing to specify the parking period. Section9 [2][a] In S9[2][f] the Act states  (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 fails to mention the words in parentheses despite Section 9 [2]starting by saying "The notice must—..." As the Notice to Keeper fails to comply with the Act,  it follows that the Notice to Hirer cannot be pursued as they couldn't get the NTH compliant. Even if the the NTH was adjudged  as not  being affected by the non compliance of the NTK, the Notice to Hirer is itself not compliant with the Act. Once again the PCN fails to get the parking period correct. That alone is enough to have the claim dismissed as the PCN fails to comply with PoFA. Second S14 [5] states " (5)The notice to Hirer must— (a)inform the hirer that by virtue of this paragraph any unpaid parking charges (being parking charges specified in the notice to keeper) may be recovered from the hirer; ON their NTH , NPE claim "The driver of the above vehicle is liable ........" when the driver is not liable at all, only the hirer is liable. The driver and the hirer may be different people, but with a NTH, only the hirer is liable so to demand the driver pay the charge  fails to comply with PoFA and so the NPE claim must fail. I seem to remember that you have confirmed you received a copy of the original PCN sent to  the Hire company plus copies of the contract you have with the Hire company and the agreement that you are responsible for breaches of the Law etc. If not then you can add those fails too.

    • I understand what you mean. But consider that part of the problem, and the frustration of those trying to help, is the way that questions are asked without context and without straight facts. A lot of effort was wasted discussing as a consumer issue before it was mentioned that the property was BTL. I don't think we have your history with this property. Were you the freehold owner prior to this split? Did you buy the leasehold of one half? From a family member? How was that funded (earlier loan?). How long ago was it split? Have either of the leasehold halves changed hands since? I'm wondering if the split and the leashold/freehold arrangements were set up in a way that was OK when everyone was everyone was connected. But a way that makes the leasehold virtually unsaleable to an unrelated party.
    • quite honestly id email shiply CEO with that crime ref number and state you will be taking this to court, for the full sum of your losses, if it is not resolved ASAP. should that be necessary then i WILL be naming Shiply as the defendant. this can be avoided should the information upon whom the courier was and their current new company contact details, as the present is simply LONDON VIRTUAL OFFICES  is a company registered there and there's a bunch of other invisible companies so clearly just a mail address

    • 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 got a payday loan for 250 and planned to pay it back but my hours at work have been cut back and my cat had to go to the vets which was 500. I couldnt pay so cancelled my debit card and sent them an email, i then got an email saying they wanted proof of my hours cut back, then i had 15 missed calls on my phone from someone else there and when i mentioned the email she said 'oh send that as well, anyway the only offer i can accept is this - at the moment you have to pay 60 interest, then if we split the payments it will be another 60 pounds intest then i will charge you £30 as a default charge. So thats 400. however if you pay 70 now i can let you pay 125 for the next two months and we'll call it quits."

 

now this still seems excessive and also as my hours have been but back i wont be able to afford 125 a month. I offered them 50 a month and she has refused that but when i cant pay my council tax next month i think that is more serious! i said this to her and she said it wasnt her p[roblem and where were this months wages and what had i done with them, i said i didnt want to discuss it and she starting ranting about why did i borrow money

 

 

Now my boss says they called work today, i have sent an email syaing i can pay £50 a month and no more but i dont want to talk to them on the phone as tey try and bully me into paying more

 

please help

Firstly don't let them intimidate you. If your funds are safe they will have to negotiate. Worth bearing in mind that on occasions they do obtain money from cancelled cards. At best a new account is perfect security or in the short term don't leave too much money lying in your account.

 

Your offer seems reasonable and I would insist on acceptance in writing with interest frozen. Original loan plus one months interest more than fair in total.

 

As you say council tax rent much more important than this lot.

 

Don't let them bully you.

  • 4 weeks later...

I emailed them saying that they werent to contact me at work only in writing and i would pay £50 a month

 

they said that they were allowed to contact me by 'any means neccessary as stated in their t&c's" they then text me saying they will continue to clalmy work until they get an answer - i feel this is threatening and intentionally trying to embarass me as they alos have my home and mobile numbers and arent calling them!

 

they then emailed saying they are going to review my original application and if there is one error then they will sue for 'gaiining a loan by deception'

 

 

i really dont know what to do,, no one at work will talk to me now as they are fed up with them calling

I do sympathise with you...

am not sure what to do about the calls at work....but do look through the various threads etc as i believe there might be a template here you could use regarding telephone harrassment.

Stick to your guns and stand firm...

everything in writing and only what you can afford.

These people can make threats all they want, but know that that is all it is.....bullying threats.

 

Good luck and keep us updated

i wouldnt waste my time with telephone harrasment letters they are not going to listen. Just keep calm and call them telling them you would like to make a payment of £50.00 today - PAY THEM DIRECT or give them a prepaid mastercard where you put £50.00 ONLY on the card that way they may think they can cheat you but will get no where as long as you are careful...

I actually would send the letter. Why should Happy Gal be terrorised at work??? Send them the letter Happy Gal , make sure you send it recorded delivery. Make sure you keep proof of delivery and then if they continue tell them vocally and by letter that you will report them to the office of fair trading, financial ombusdman and anyone else you can think of (maybe local MP) and to the police (dont know if the police thing will work but worth a try:))

 

It angers me beyond beliefe when people are harrassed by these companies. Tell them its absolutley not acceptable. Take charge of the situation.

Report them to Trading Standards via Consumer Direct for breaching the OFT Guidelines on debt collecting by phoning your employer - they are NOT allowed to do that at all.

 

Get your bank account changed if possible as they will keep going into your account and taking lots of small amounts until it is empty when you least need it.

I'm just saying its basiacally going to get you no where. Why waste your time and money on writing letters that they arent going to listen too?! :mad:

 

I know its awful trust me, i know - but i would just wait it out and continue to contact them telling them that all you can afford to pay right now is £X and thereafter £x every month until repaid. There is nothing more you can do to get them off your back.

But Jamie, and please dont think i am being argumentative here, there are laws in place and comsumer laws that protect the consumer from this kind of harrasing behaviour. Unless you are used to dealing with these sorts of people it can be very intimidating and frightening. It takes no time at all to print and send the letters off thanks to the templates on here. But this is only advice like your giving and its Happy Gals choice. I just hate it when people are in fear of these companies as i have been through this and worse and i remember what a state it got me in.

I tend to agree with jamie to a certain extent. In the short term they will ignore the harrassment letter, however not a reason not to send it. Good ammo if it ever ends up in court.

 

There have though been a few examples of the harrassment letter working. At the very least they will know you are taking advice and won't be an easy target.
