    • I have looked at the car park and it is quite clearly marked that it is  pay to park  and advising that there are cameras installed so kind of difficult to dispute that. On the other hand it doesn't appear to state at the entrance what the charge is for breaching their rules. However they do have a load of writing in the two notices under the entrance sign which it would help if you could photograph legible copies of them. Also legible photos of the signs inside the car park as well as legible photos of the payment signs. I say legible because the wording of their signs is very important as to whether they have formed a contract with motorists. For example the entrance sign itself doe not offer a contract because it states the T&Cs are inside the car park. But the the two signs below may change that situation which is why we would like to see them. I have looked at their Notice to Keeper which is pretty close to what it should say apart from one item. Under the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012 Schedule 4 Section 9 [2]a] the PCN should specify the period of parking. It doesn't. It does show the ANPR times but that includes driving from the entrance to the parking spot and then from the parking place to the exit. I know that this is a small car park but the Act is quite clear that the parking period must be specified. That failure means that the keeper is no longer responsible for the charge, only the driver is now liable to pay. Should this ever go to Court , Judges do not accept that the driver and the keeper are the same person so ECP will have their work cut out deciding who was driving. As long as they do not know, it will be difficult for them to win in Court which is one reason why we advise not to appeal since the appeal can lead to them finding out at times that the driver  and the keeper were the same person. You will get loads of threats from ECP and their sixth rate debt collectors and solicitors. They will also keep quoting ever higher amounts owed. Do not worry, the maximum. they can charge is the amount on the sign. Anything over that is unlawful. You can safely ignore the drivel from the Drips but come back to us should you receive a Letter of Claim. That will be the Snotty letter time.

    • Yes, it was, but in practice we've found time after time that judges will not rule against PPCs solely on the lack of PP.  They should - but they don't.  We include illegal signage in WSs, but more as a tactic to show the PPC up as spvis rather than in the hope that the judge will act on that one point alone. But sue them for what?  They haven't really done much apart from sending you stupid letters. Breach of GDPR?  It could be argued they knew you had Supremacy of Contact but it's a a long shot. Trespass to your vehicle?  I know someone on the Parking Prankster blog did that but it's one case out of thousands. Surely best to defy them and put the onus on them to sue you.  Make them carry the risk.  And if they finally do - smash them. If you want, I suppose you could have a laugh at the MA's expense.  Tell them about the criminality they have endorsed and give them 24 hours to have your tickets cancelled and have the signs removed - otherwise you will contact the council to start enforcement for breach of planning permission.

    • 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.

Post, Welcome previously told me if I paid my arrears of £896 in full they would freeze the remainder of my balance at £1600 and I could agree monthly payments with them - I was thinking of approaching my bank for a loan of £1500 and offering it to them as full and final settlement of my account - do you think this would be a good idea or not. I just want them out of my life!! Thanks.

Below are details of the letter I propose sending to wfs. can you please advise if you think it is in order.

 

Dear Sir/Madam,

 

Ref: Agreement No.

 

I am writing in regards to the insurance policy which I was sold by you, Welcome Financial Services in conjunction with my application for a secured loan on 21st September 2005

I now believe that I was mis-sold this policy because I was:

 

a) Suffering from a pre-existing medical condition that could affect my insurance and was not asked about this by your salesperson at the time

 

b) Not informed that taking the PPI policy was optional

 

c) Not asked whether I already had sufficient cover in place at the time the policy was sold to me

 

d) Not informed that the policy premium was to be added to my loan as a single premium and therefore attract interest

 

e) Not informed that the PPI policy would expire before I had fully repaid the loan

 

f) Not made aware of the features, exclusions and terms of cancellation relating to the PPI cover

 

g) Told that taking the cover would improve my chances of getting my credit application approved

 

As such, unless you can prove that this policy was sold to me fairly and that it is, in itself, fair and reasonable, I request a full refund of all premiums and subsequent interest on these payments that I have made towards this policy to date. I will also ask that you add the 8% statutory interest deemed as reasonable by the courts to each payment I have made.

 

Also in conjunction with the above I also believe I have incurred unfair charges, please see attached, for which I also request a full refund and subsequent interest plus the 8% statutory interest deemed as reasonable by the courts.

 

I would like you to investigate this matter further and look forward to receiving a full response from you within 8 weeks. Should my complaint not be appropriately dealt with during this time I will be asking the Financial Ombudsman to investigate.

____________________________________

My final loan payment is due to be made on 27/9/10 once I make this payment can I stop any future direct debits while awaiting the outcome.

pers i would not 'speculate' upon why the PPI was mis-sold.

 

put down the reasons that are true in your case.

 

you'll get a PPI questionaire back as a delaying tactic out of them anyhow i bet.

 

also becareful about 'what' you expect back.

 

clearly state that you want the PPI cancelled forthwith & that....

 

you should be put back into a position whereby the PPI was never sold to you & under restitution, be given 8% stat int back on any payments already made from the date [each month]

you ACTUALLY PAID for the PPI to the date of your claim.

 

i would also make the charges reclaim a separate issue [letter] to that of the PPI reclaim.

I have sent my claim to wf but what would you recommend regarding by payments. The final payment will be out of my bank on Monday 27 and this will leave the arrears of £890 & the interest of nearly 3k left owing - should I let them know I am stopping all future direct debits once the final payment has been made pending the outcome of my claim.

  • 3 weeks later...

I have put my ppi claim to welcome along with a separate claim for unfair 'adhoc' charges and I have received a letter acknowledging my complaint. Since my loan technically matured on 5/10/10 am I within my rights to stop my direct debit payments of £181.79 and offer to pay them £100.00 per month of the arrears, which are £864, pending the outcome of my complaint. (Welcome are saying I still owe them £2600 as interest has been charged on my arrears since they occured in '05/'06)

 

Any advice appreciated.

 

Thanks

Likewise - I put a complaint in saying that I have paid the full original amount and then some...Cash loan of £1500. Because I fell behind with the payments in 2007, they told the loan was 'rewritten' and the total amount to pay back is £5300. Obviously I responded and told them to 'DO ONE!' with a CCA request, as surely I would have needed to authorise and sign a new agreement? I have also filed a complaint with the FOS. I'm still waiting for a response to my PPI reclaim.:|

I waited for nearly three months for them to respond. Then they told me that my complaint is unjustified. So I have now filed a complaint with the FOS aboutt them wanting £5000 for a £1500 loan! and also not responding to my complaint with 8 weeks. I'm going to fight this one out! Only give them eights weeks and no more!

Good luck with it.
