    • You can counter a Judges's question on why you didn't respond by pointing out that any company that charges you with stopping at a zebra crossing is likely to be of a criminal mentality and so unlikely to cancel the PCN plus you didn't want to give away any knowledge you had at that time that could allow them to counteract your claim if it went to Court. There are many ways in which you can see off their stupid claim-you will see them in other threads  where our members have been caught by Met at other airports as well as Bristol.  Time and again they take motorists to Court for "NO Stopping" apparently completely forgetting that the have lost doing that because no stopping is prohibitory and cannot form a contract. Yet they keep on issuing PCNs because so many people just pay up . Crazy . You can see what chuckleheads they are when you read their Claim form which is pursuing you as the driver or the keeper. they don't seem to understand that on airport land because of the Bye laws, the keeper is never liable.

    • luckily like this thread VCS/DCB(L) PCN spycar capture - PAPLOC Now claimform - no Stopping in Restricted Zone - Bristol Airport ***Claim Dismissed*** - Page 4 - Private Land Parking Enforcement - Consumer Action Group although no on the crossing, same applies to you so WS time. there are numerous threads here on pedestrian crossing claimforms by VCS at Bristol and at other airports so use our enhanced google searchbox and find them. really a bad idea to vanish for SIX months and not been have reading up here.....................  
    • Not at all.  The onus is on them to ensure that their invoice respects the provisions of Schedule 4 of the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012 to establish keeper liability.  Which it can't as the area is covered by bye-laws. Spot on. Irrelevant as to whether you entered into a contract with VCS to pay them £100 if you didn't obey what was written on their silly signs. Who cares?  What about their ridiculous generic Particulars of Claim where they deliberately mix up driver and keeper. And where do they mention this?  You haven't shown us anything. Of course you have to prepare a Witness Statement and you'd better get on with it. This is the problem here - you've disappeared for months & months, haven't kept us updated and presumably haven't read other VCS threads.  That needs to change - now. Otherwise you will lose - simple as that. For a start - please upload the court order which fixes the hearing date plus plus where "VCS mentioned my initial defence was generic and clearly copied from the internet".  We're not mind readers.

    • 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 just come accross another stick to beat them with if this goes to court.

 

We wrote to welcome asking for an early settlement figure - but welcome being welcome ignored it. So a week or so later we wrote again - and ignored again.

 

Have just found this on the OFT website concerning early settlement.

 

The Consumer Credit (Settlement Information) Regulations 1983, as amended by the 2004 regulations, set down the form and content of settlement statements. A statement must be provided within seven working days of the borrower's request.

 

And they can't say they never got the letters - as they sent copies to me to help prove the loan was not statute barred.

 

A bit more reading i think.

Well breaches of this act seems to be dealt with in two ways the first.

 

Failure to comply with the regulations can lead to the OFT or local authority trading standards services taking enforcement action against the lender, using powers in Part 8 of the Enterprise Act 2002.

 

Having read part 8 of this act it seems to amout to someone from the OFT either writing to them to say stop it and don't do it again. OR popping round for a cuppa and biscuit and doing much the same.

 

It is worth a formal complaint though - but not sure if it should be welcome, (if they are still around long enough to take the complaint), or aginst HFO - maybe both?

 

Part Two is more interesting -

In addition, if the lender fails to provide a correct settlement statement he is not entitled to enforce the agreement until the statement is provided.

 

So does this = non enforceable agreement?

Was intending to hold this back for further ammo if needed - along with a couple of other bits and pieces.

 

The info quoted is from the OFT site and is current though.

I can understand no NoA, but would have expected a default and termination notice, do any of the printouts, indicate when and to who the account was sold to?

US President Barack Obama referred to Ugland House as the biggest building in the world or the biggest tax SCA* in the world.

No - In fact they have provided nothing except a statement that relates to the account which HFO are claiming for.

 

Looks like they literally sent HFO everything they had for the account.

 

Also going to send you quick pm with some other info - not sure to put up publicly yet.

‘Despise’ isn’t strong enough!

 

Incidentally, in two days’ time it will be exactly ONE YEAR since HFO Services’s Consumer Credit Licence expired. They still have not had it renewed. What the hell is the FSA doing?

Hi DB

 

I thought this after investigating it initially. The fact that the word current appears under status implies that it has been automatically renewed. I did read it some where on the OFT site, but I dont think even this lot would be that stupid enough to trade without it. LB
