    • Sending you a big hug. I’m sorry your going through this. The letters they send sound aweful, and the waiting game for them to stop. But these guys seem so knowledgable and these letters should stop. Hang in there, and keep in touch. Don’t feel alone 
    • In my time I've never seen a payout/commission from a PPC to a landlord/MA. Normally the installation of all the cameras/payment of warden patrols etc is free but PPCs keep 100% of the ticket revenue. Not saying it doesn't happen mind. I've done some more digging on this: Remember, what your lease doesn't say is just as important as what it does say. If your lease doesn't mention a parking scheme/employment of a PPC/Paying PCNs etc you're under no legal obligation to play along to the PPC's or the MA's "Terms and conditions". I highly doubt your lease had a variation in place to bring in this permit system. Your lease will likely have a "quiet enjoyment" clause for your demised space and the common areas and having to fight a PPC/MA just to park would breach that. Your lease has supremacy of contract, but I do agree it's worth keeping cool and not parking there (and hence getting PCNs) for a couple months just so that the PPC doesn't get blinded by greed and go nuclear on you if you have 4 or 5 PCNs outstanding. At your next AGM, bring it up that the parking controls need to be removed and mention the legal reasons why. One reason is that under S37(5b) Landlord and Tenant Act 1987,  more than 75% of leaseholders and/or the landlord would have needed to agree, and less than 10% opposed, for the variation to take place. I highly doubt a ballot even happened before the PPC was bought in so OPS even being there is unlawful, breaching the terms of your lease. In this legal sense,  the communal vote of the "directors" of the freehold company would have counted for ONE vote of however many flats there are (leases/tenants) + 1 (landlord). It's going to be interesting to see where this goes.  
    • @Whyisitthisthank you very much for asking. I am still feeling anxious, especially when someone rings the doorbell, or when I receive a letter I feel a it paranoid. I stopped going to the shops unless I really have to. I shop online now. When I see security I feel paralised. 
    • My expectation was their WS would include the best paperwork, like at least true copies of originals, but these just look wrong somehow, perhaps the font and size of font... Not sending me the DN in CCA request but producing it for evidence I would argue could be a tactic used by them... - Page 11 with ticks - there is no reference to IP addresses - Home addresses are correct for dates in documents   Just looking up example Defendant WS's while awaiting your thoughts on this
    • Hello lovely, just posting to check in to see how you are feeling now? Hopefully your feeling better?

    • 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.

Capquest buys lists of names of old debts in the hundreds maybe thousands.

 

They get a name the address (normally an old address ) if there lucky the person still lives there. The date of an Credit agreement.

 

They then do a credit search to find the applicant or confirm his address normally a hard search shown in table one which in inself is illegal as this table should be only for credit applications. The address address seach should be in table two of a credit file so to be not visable to others when you make a credit application or to have a negative effect on your score.

 

When they do the seach it will give then the necessary information of payments the default dates and ammo to then seek to get the money from you. Without this information from the credit file they can't even be sure they have the right person can they Bondie40 ?

Yes he has moved two times within 6 years and the loan was taken out at a particular address a point to note: he has said he did see this loan on his file a couple of years ago but clearly now it has gone,

 

 

They have done well to track him down. I think CapQuest might have been a bit sharper on this than we would normally give them credit for.

It's only a linked adress not much of a confidence booster for them.

 

They don't fancy this because they are totally in the dark.

 

No CCJ No defaults, if the Bank of Scotland don't come with the information needed then they have nothing to come to Court with do they...'' Best they move on easier fish to catch.

On a serious note,

 

Tell that to the guy who may have to pay Capquest close to 25,000 pounds,

 

Blondie,

 

Capquest are real, the money they want is real, the guy is real, has a life a mortgage and a family.

 

Let hope i can win this for him. I have beaten Capquest before, and also Mackenzie Hall Debt collectors.

I will be more than happy to report on Capquest replies and then hopefully the eventually outcome.

 

That i am able to do,

 

When people say somethings not right here, and confirmation ??

 

I tried to make light of it, but if someone wants to actually be clear in what they are saying please say it and i will answer the question.

 

Or better still give me some real direct advice that can help me deal with this because that's why i started the thread.

This is what I've got in my head:

 

From the your thread

http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/general-debt-issues/118769-my-credit-file-clear.html

 

post 13

 

Thanks for the information i'm looking forward to building back my credit from next year.

 

I took various credit cards and Barclays Bank for a total of 65,000

 

I paid not a penny back. Only Barclays tried attachment of earnings so i completed the form sent by the court and then left that job.

 

Because i do not own property in this country the whole process was easier for me to not pay.

 

I now have a cash account with Alliance @ Leicester which works exactly like a bank account with direct debits but you don't need a credit check to get it.

 

I also have a credit card with Virgin Mastercard which works like any other credit card but you top it up as you go.

 

My credit will be clear next year as far as my file is concerned.

 

Looking back its been an inconvenience but maybe i should of taken them for more.

 

I don't condone taking money and not paying it back this is just my story but trust me they can afford it.

 

 

post 17

Really for ever! wow seriously i am so worried you have said that! my god i will never get credit ever my life is ruined!

 

Where did you learn words like Statute Barred ?

 

You made me laugh just like the letters i used to receive from debt collection agencies about what they were going to do to me Bah Bah Bah.

 

I've still got the 60 grand pal.

 

 

post 19

 

My story is an interesting one I had a good job a nice house with a mortgage just like you.

 

Everybody wanted to lend to me, cards banks all of them, you can imagine, all my best friends it seemed especially when i had a house to lose.

 

After two years i had used and spend all money lent to me and found i was unable to pay back what i had borrowed. It was a crap time when this reality became my life.

 

I was angry stupid enough to put myself in this situation and equally angry the money was offered up so easily.

 

So i the turned the negative into a positive, sold my house brought property abroad, run up 60 grand further of debt banked abroad and rented a property and payed back nothing given my borrowing was all unsercured there was nothing any of them could do.

 

The rest is history next year my file is clear as a result I'm very comfortable so thanks Barclays, MBNA, Capital One and all the others to whom i owe my thanks for the easiest money i will ever get.

 

Never was i going to let these corporations who don't give a toss ruin my life,

 

Life's too short for that it's all just a system so play it as you will.

 

 

post 29

 

Well firstly i don't need help, what i asked is clarification on a couple of fairly basis points which you can read in my first post in this thread.

 

I accept what i have done smacks in the face of what this forum is about and for that reason i will not argue the point.

 

However all forums are based on honesty and debate myself all i did was give just give my story i never build it up as a solution or a way for anyone to manage a debt problem.

 

I apologise for the negative approach to solving debts and fully understand it is not consistant to the law of the land, but then the law of the land is not always right is it?

 

All the best with the forum and thanks for the advice.

and this…

 

http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/legal-issues/252069-debt-agency-searching-my-2.html

 

 

Ironically I dealt with Rob Sands of Mackenziehall and can confirm the search footprints have been completely removed from my file. :grin:

 

Very happy about that knowledge is power share it and spread the word.

 

These companies/debt collection take advantage of lack of understanding to play the fool with us so educate yourself and you can beat them.

 

A true story,

 

A few years back Customs and Excise took 5000 cigarettes 25x200 cartons from me when i returned from Spain there value was 350 quid at the time. I was really upset and told the Custom Officer i would take them to Court he laughed at me...and took the cigarettes. I walked away and told him i would see him in Court.

 

I got a solicitor which cost me 850 pounds (More than the value of the cigarettes i hear you say!) to represent me in a Civil Case against Customs and Excise who brought in a top Barrister.

 

I had to take to the dock and it was heavy full on stuff, the Custom officer who confiscated the cartons failed to appear called in sick apparently,

 

Custom and Excise were unable to provide sufficient evidence the purchase was for commercial profit....I won the case and was awarded all costs for my solictor, the cost of my flight, plus the cost of the cigarettes which had been destroyed by the time the case came to court (took over a year etc)

 

The point i'm making ?

 

Principle....The original Custom officer laughed at me he never dreamed i would go to court you can see above it was not cost effective to do so, it was on that basis he took my cigarettes but i knew he was wrong and i proved it. You can beat even Customs and Excise if you know your rights!

On a serious note, you are acting on behalf of a friend, I hope you have a less Cavalier attitude towards his debt problems than you do for your own.

Your angle on other threads is and I quote "I'm not stating the obvious but it is their money and they are entitled to collect it"

so what's different here apart from it is a 'friend of yours'

With so much at stake here your friend may be better getting professional help and advice.

Conspiracy theories will not help you here, nor will sending SAR's to Capquest.

I have no legal training, any knowledge I have has come from this forum, and my own experiences. Always balance up any advice you get with your own common sense.

I am surprised, given your success against CapQuest, MacKenzie Hall and Customs & Excise in the past, that you did not offer some resistance.

 

I wish your friend the very best of luck in fighting this and hope he can achieve a satisfactory outcome, given what is a stake.

I haven't stopped and will see it through to a conclusion.

 

As you may know i am using my own resources and knowledge. However if needed and Capquest continue to push for payment i shall without hesitation bring in and apoint a professional lawyer.

 

I am well within my budget to do so.

Blondie40

With the greatest respect please move on you have nothing constructive to offer on a legal front or how best to proceed in this case.

I will not be drawn into negative dialogue with you as clearly it seems you wish me to do so.

The fact you searched previous posts to display on my thread was a disappointment however I shall remain diplomatic.

As I said before I wish you only the best and hope from now you use your time more respectfully in the forum rather than trying to draw confrontation.

Your response/s will not be required as i shall credit no more of my time to them.
