    • Aesmith - Thank you for your recent interest in my issues.  Input on people's topics can be most useful from specialised experts or those that have similar experiences.  Some people really struggle with knowing what to do (I certainly do) - so it is most useful and helpful and reassuring when solid sensible advice is offered.  I have found there to be some very kind, helpful, supportive and legally knowledgeable people here on cag over the years - who give sound legal advice for people to roll up their sleeves and follow up on.   Of course, sometimes it can be quite challenging sifting the wheat from the chaff.  I don't have lawyer or barrister.  I sometimes attend pro-bono legal clinics for help.  And sometimes have access to barristers via a pro-bono service called Advocate.  Both ad-hoc. Pro-bono means 'free'
    • The Judge was wrong. The keeper is only INVITED to say who was driving, there is no obligation for them to say.

    • Ok you are in the clear. The PCN does not comply with the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012 Schedule 4 for two reasons. The first is that in Section 9 [2][e]  says the PCN must "state that the creditor does not know both the name of the driver and a current address for service for the driver and invite the keeper— (i)to pay the unpaid parking charges ". It does not say that even though it continues correctly with blurb about the driver. The other fault is that there is no parking period mentioned. Their ANPR cameras do show your arrival and departure times but as that at the very least includes driving from the entrance to the parking space then later leaving the parking space and driving to the exit. It also doesn't allow for finding a parking spot: manoeuvering into it avoiding parking on the lines: possibly having to stop to allow pedestrians/other cars to pass in front of you; returning the trolley after finishing shopping; loading children disabled people in and out of the car, etc etc.  All of that could easily add five, ten or even 15 minutes to your time which the ANPR cameras cannot take into account. So even if it was only two hours free time you could  still have been within the  time since there is a MINIMUM of 15 minutes Grace period when you leave the car park. However as they cannot even manage to get their PCN to comply with the Act you as keeper cannot be pursued. Only the driver is now liable and they do not know who was driving as you have not appealed and perhaps unwittingly given away who was driving. So you do not owe them a penny. No need to appeal. Let them waste their money pursuing you .

    • 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 been having payday loan problems for a few months now, and seem unable to break the endless cycle of repaying / relending or rolling over.

 

I have found this website and have been reading with great interest and its nice to know i am not the only person in this mess. I currently have 5 payday loans outstanding.

 

Speed E Loans - £200 + £56 interest

Cash Geine - £250 + £75 interest

The Payday Loan Company - £160 + £40 interest

Balance Loan £150 + £67 interest!!

Quick Quid - £624 outsatnding.

 

The main issue is the Quick Quid loan. I took this out in Jan for £400 and agreed to there two month plan £100 interest in Feb and £500 in March. I have not been able to repay this loan due to hours cut at work and other financial problems.(split with partner of 3 years).

 

I have been emailing QQ and agreed a 3 month plan of £208 per month at the time i thought i could manage this. No payments were made.

 

I recieved a text last week off mackenzie hall telling me it was now there debt and to contact them urgently. I spoke to a very unhelpfull lady today and explained my situation. I was told unless i could pay over 2 months at £312 per month which i cant, an attachment of earnings would be put in place and they could take upto 30% of my wage directly to cover the debt each month until repaid.

 

Has anyone else had any dealings with this company and how quick can this happen. I was told if no payment made by end of July they would be putting it in place for August!!

Yes i was thinking that myself, what gets me is my only contact with them has been 2 text messages both identical. Surely you would expect something in writing or at least a phone call. All seems very strange.

 

I am willing to repay this debt just wanted to set up a payment plan so i could manage it better.

 

Has anybody else had there QQ debt passed on to this company and if so how have you dealt with them.

Dear Gibby71081

 

I took a pay day loan out with Quick Quid. I then couldnt afford the payments so I went to the CAB who arranged a payment plan with them unfortunately I wasnt told of this plan so I started getting emails of them again after sending emails backwards and forwards to them they have now passed it on to Mackenzie Hall. I spoke to a really patronising bitch from them yesterday who told me that I shouldnt take pay day loans if I cant repay them I told her that my partner had lost his job and I was desperate she was so patronising when I told her that the CAB would be ringiing them on my behalf she told me that they wouldnt accept any offers from them and If I didnt pay then they would take me to court and an AOE would be applied would like to complain about this firm as they were very rude and aggresive.

Hi, It's up to you how much you can afford to pay not MH.

A Judge is unlikely to award more if you can't afford it.

Report their attitude to Mr. Alan Stewart at Kilmarnock trading standard address is on their web site (East Ayreshire Council) go direct to them and report.

Also a complaint to The Office Of Fair Trading will be good the cannot advise on individual complaint but MH are already being monitored.

Have you received a default notice and a notice of assignment from the original creditor?

Got home tonight to a letter of these people that reads as follows;

 

DEFAULT ON FIXED-SUM LOAN AGREEMENT REGULATED BY THE CONSUMER CREDIT ACT 1974

 

Dear Mr xxxxxx xxxxxxx

 

We write to you to give you formal notice that Quick Quid has legally assigned the rights to the above debtto Mackenzie Hall Debt purchase Ltd. This means that Mackenzie Hall Debt Purchase Ltd. now legally own your debt.

 

We act for Mckenzie Hall Debt Purchase Ltd. We have been instructed to pursue you for the full payment with immediate effect.

 

Take Notice: You should accept this letter as formal notification that unless payment is recived within 7 days then your account will be considered for legal action in the county court for recovery for the full amount outstanding. Any such proceedings will include additional claims for legal costs and interest which will increase the amount that you will be required to pay.

 

There will be no further warning - payment in full must be recieved no later than Noon, 23rd July 2010.

 

In the event that a judgement is obtained against you then it will be entered in the public register, the register of judgements, orders and fines.The details will be then passed to credit reference agencies, who will supply them to credit grabntors and others seeking information of your financial standing. This will make it difficult for you to get credit.

 

Your payment must be sent Mackenzie Hall immediatly. If you wish to pay by debit or credit card or disscuss the matter then you must contact our litigation team on XXXXXXXXXXXX

 

Any thoughts on what to do next is it still worth CCA them???

 

Help much apprecited

If they don't have an original cca then they are not entitled to the money. I wouldn't be concerned about the 7 days. It will take longer that if they go the court route.
