    • Write to the IPC complaining that UKPC have not observed the requirements of PoFA . IPC  Waterside House, Macclesfield SK10 9NR Dear IPC, I am writing to complain about a serious breach of the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012 by UKPCM. I feel that as it is more a breach of the Act rather than not just  complying with your Code of Practice which is why I am bypassing your operator. Should you decide to insist that I first complain to your operator, I will instead pass over my complaint to the ICO and the DVLA . My story starts with being issued a windscreen PCN on 8/3/24 which was almost immediately removed and a second  PCN was then  sent by post on 13/3/24  [deemed delivered 15/3/24] which I did not receive and had to send an sar to have that particular mess revealed later  but that is not the reason for my complaint. UKPC then sent a Keeper Liability Notice dated 12/4/24 warning me that as 28 days have now elapsed, I as keeper am now liable for the charge.  This is in direct contravention of PoFA since the keeper does not become liable to pay until the day after the original PCN is deemed to have been given which would have been 13/4/24 -a Saturday ]. Not only does it not comply with PoFA but it fails to adhere to your Code of Practice and is in breach of their agreement with the DVLA. You will be aware that this is not the first time that UKPC have fallen foul of the DVLA and presumably yourselves. I have included copies of both Notices for information. You will realise the seriousness of this situation if this is standard practice from the UKPC to all motorists or just those where windscreen tickets are involved since the Law regarding PoFA is being abused and is unfair to misguide motorists. I await your  response which I understand will usually be within a week. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------I would think that should be sufficient for the IPC to cancel your PCN though  you should await comments from the Site team before sending your complaint. Don't forget to include both PCNs.  
    • Hi DX, Sorry, fell asleep as I was up all night last night writing that statement. Yes, I attached the rest of the witness statement on post 50, bottom of webpage 2. That's the important part.  It looks like the lawyer who wrote Erudio's Witness statement does not work for them any more. So, I'll have another lawyer representing instead. Not sure if I can use Andy's hearsay argument verbally if that happens.... I did not put it in writing. Apart from not sending deferral forms, my main argument is that in 2014 Erudio fixed some arrears mistake that SLC made and then in 2018 they did the same mistake, sent me confusing letters. What is the legal defence when they send you confusing material?

    • That isn’t actually what the Theft Act 1968 S1 actually says, BTW. https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1968/60/section/1 (1)A person is guilty of theft if he dishonestly appropriates property belonging to another with the intention of permanently depriving the other of it;   The difference between what you’ve said and the Act? a) intent to permanently deprive rather than  just depriving (which is why the offence of “taking without consent” was brought in for motor vehicles, as otherwise "joyriders" could say "but I intended to give it back at the end") b) dishonesty : If I honestly believed A's pen belonged to B, and took it and gave it to B - B might be found guilty of theft but I shouldn't be.

    • 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.

Fear and intimidation are a DCA's greatest tool. Write to them saying you are disputing this with Vodafone who are looking into this. Remind them that it is against the office of fair trading guidelines for them to try to collect on a disputed debt. IF (and thats a big if) they do take it to court you would win hands down, as you have no contract with them and you are dealing with Vodafone. Also, it will be sorted long before it gets to court. Lee does not hang around, and I'm sure if you have to pay anything, it will be to Vodafone. (not that Fredrickson can stop you paying Vodafone!)

Hi everyone, just to let you all know, Lee has now been back in touch with me and informed me that Fredrickson are now happy to accept the reduced payment amount of £1 per month that I offered them. I would like to thank Lee for his assistance in sorting this matter out.

 

Interestingly enough, Fredrickson claim to have never received the letter and paperwork I sent them (by recorded delivery) making this offer, even though they acknowleged receipt of my letter in writing! They just chose to ignore the contents of it, and instructed Bryan Carter to write to me instead...

 

Anyway, things seem to have been resolved now that Lee and his team have got involved, and I am very grateful for his help :)

 

Thanks

Rob

Hi Rob,

 

You're welcome and thanks for updating the thread.

 

While I'm not sure why your initial request wasn't dealt with I'm pleased that we were able to get this sorted out and I'll reply to your most recent email as aoon as I can.

 

All the best.

Despite Lee's assistance I have today received a letter from Fredrickson International dated 16th June 2010, in which the inform me..

 

"Despite a letter from Bryan Carter Solicitors you have failed to discharge your debt with our client Vodafone RF. We are prepared to offer you one final opportunity to pay before reccomending to our client that they instruct solicitors to issue a claim.

 

At this stage and as a gesture of goodwill we are prepared to accept a full and final settlement on this account provided you contact us within 48 hours of this letter..."

 

 

I have to say I am fuming. Lee had told me they had accepted my offer of £1.00 per month, and I tried to use a payment card that Fredrickson had sent me to make the payment in the post office. I was told the minimum payment I could make was £5.00, so now I have to either phone Fredrickson up and try and pay by debit card, and they will tell me exactly the same thing and then start presurizing me again to increase payments..

 

I started the day in a very positive mood, now I just feel angry and frustrated.

I have e-mailed Lee and told him what has happened. I am tempted to phone Fredrickson and vent my anger on them, although I doubt it will do any good.

 

I was expecting a letter from them accepting my offer, not another final demand and threat of litigation!!

Right I have contacted Fredrickson and asked for bank details to set up a standing order, they wanted to set up direct debit....I dont think so. Anyway they have confirmed the £1.00 per month is acceptable, so I am going to go ahead and set up a standing order for this.

Lee has worked wonders on this site, however being able to give Fredrickson an extra brain cell is probably not within his power :p

Hi Rob,

 

I think there may've been a cross over here but I'm pleased to see that you've managed to get the instalment plan set up.

 

Naturally, should you need any further help here in the future just let me know.

 

Many thanks,

Good luck with that. I've been trying to get standing order details out of them for months. They just don't read the letters I send!

Hmm... my advice if not telecoms related, the best place to start a thread is in the debt collection forum. People with more knowledge specific to DCA's and any so called "code of conduct" that they *should* abide by will visit that section.

Hi
CAG
link31.gif
members,

 

We thought it would be nice to introduce ourselves and to assure you all that our presence on
CAG
link31.gif
is with the very best of intentions.

Vodafone UK has recently introduced a dedicated Web Relations Team which is keen to seek out customers who’re having difficulties with their accounts and feel that they have no other place to turn to than CAG and other consumer forums and blogs.

Naturally, it’s not possible for us to help directly with account specific queries on CAG and as such we would encourage those members who feel we can help them to contact us privately and securely using the ‘Contact us’ form on the Vodafone website with your account details.

https://help.vodafone.co.uk/system/s...PARTITION_ID=1

 

When emailing us we would also ask that you either provide us with a link to your post or thread – if you’ve posted in another member’s thread please also provide your CAG username so that we can check what your query is – and state the code WRT135 within the body of your email to make sure it comes through to us.As soon as we’ve received your email we’ll endeavour to get back to you as quickly as possible.

 

Many thanks

 

Web Relations Team

Vodafone UK
.

CAG members contacting us, add the code WRT135 in the subject line in order ensure that email gets routed into our queue.

 

update your new thread with the automatic reference number you get from vodafone and I'm sure the team will assist you as best they can

Hello all, Locutus this is my thread :) It had been resolved, but then Fredrickson recently wrote to me again. However Lee has been in touch with them and it has now been sorted out once again.

 

Thanks
