    • How does one obtain the permit? The permit team number is only open between the hours of 9am to 3pm Mon - Fri. It says on the website, To obtain an additional 2 hours, the driver must pay a tariff of £3.00 + booking fees in person at our Security Hut, is that how you get the permit also, from the security hut? What a rigmaroll that would be but maybe just another step to take to try and catch people out?
    • Anotheruser0000 bear in mind that not all Judges are equally versed in the PoFA regulations. Fortunately now most of them are but sometimes a Judge from a higher Court sits in who is well experienced  in Law but not PoFA. and so they sometimes go "offkey" because their knowledge can raise a different set of arguments and solutions. It does seem particularly unfair  when the decision is so  bad . it can also be that in some situations the motorist being a lay person is not sufficiently know ledgeable to be able to counter a Judge's decisions in a way that a barrister could.
    • The argument about the date of receipt is now dead because the PCN  does not comply with the wording  of the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012 Schedule 4.  First reason Section 9 [2] [e]  "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;" Second Reason Section 9 [2][a] "specify the vehicle, the relevant land on which it was parked and the period of parking to which the notice relates;" All your PCN does is mark the time you entered and left the car park. It does not include all the myriad things you do in between-driving into the car park, looking for a parking space-perhaps a disabled space or  parent and Child place@ getting the children or disabled person out of the car then going shopping. Coming back; loading the car with shopping [, getting the children or disabled into the car, taking the trolley back to the store; driving to the exit perhaps stopping to let vehicles/pedestrians cross in front of you etc. so subtracting the driving times from before and after parking can make quite a difference from their time to the actual period parking time. So the upshot is now that only the driver is responsible for paying the PCN and the keeper is not liable at all even if the name of the driver is never known by Nexus so well done for not appealing. You obviously want to keep it that way to make it very difficult for them to win in Court if it ever goes that far. Although your question is now moot since  the same objective has been achieved by the non compliant PCN [ie no keeper liability] just  about the only way to dispute the timing of the PCN would be if one kept the envelope and there was a discernible date stamp on it that did not match the date on the PCN. There is a new Act coming out [and it cannot come quickly enough ] and one of the things required is that parking companies will have to prove the date of sending out their PCNs. We are not the only ones who sometimes doubt the veracity of their dates particularly as the later it is sent [unlawfully] the shorter the period motorists have to benefit [?] from the reduced payment. I haven't seen it on your posts but do you know how long you are permitted to park for free?
    • I was so annoyed and frustrated about the fact this case was lost it's been floating around my head all night. Dave962, are you sure that's what the Judge said? .... It doesn't make sense. Did the judge in fact dismiss the case on the grounds that the defendant did not make an appeal within 28 days? Effectively telling the PPC about the error entering the registration number and providing proof of payment at that time? To me, that's an important point.

    • 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.

Hi,i,m new to this site and have been reading alot of the posts,

 

here is my situation

 

i currently have over £23,000 in credit card debt acumilated over 10 years,

 

i have contacted cccs about the situation as i am finding it hard to keep up repayments.

 

i have managed to get citi card to stop interest and have been on that for a few years,

 

barclaycard have reduced interest,

 

m+s card had froze interest for 12 mnths but now refuse to and they want me to increase my payment as they say it is not right that i am paying more to other credit cards than to them.

 

my other cards have refused to stop interest or accept smaller payments,

 

i have sent them all the usual template letters but with no luck from that.

 

The cccs have sent me the paperwork for a dmp plan which i have currently next to me filled out ready to be posted but now i am unsure what to do,

 

it is wearing me down each month having to deal with all these creditors individually and with no good outcome from them,

 

citi card have been really good and are happy to keep on the plan,i have included them on my dmp as they needed all my outgoings etc,

 

do i go on this plan so as just to have the one payment which is more affordable or keep trying with other creditors of which i have been for the last 6-8 months which now seems like i,m getting nowhere.

 

I am also with nationwide who have given me no help whatso ever,they have had over 3000 in bank charges from me for which i had my case in the courts and then that got thrown out,i have £120 of charges last month for returned dd and to top this off they reduced my overdraft which i was basically living off from £1800 down to £700,

 

my wife is currently out of work and looking for a job but this seems not to matter towards my hardship as far as the companies are concerned,

 

so do i go on the plan,has anyone else gone on the plan and are they still getting hasseled by creditors,

 

 

your advice would be much appreciated,many thanks

Hi Richard

 

Welcome to CAG.

 

I am not an expert, just a simple soul fighting a similar battle with the great support of CAG.

 

There is nothing to lose in holding off from the CCS DMP until the status of all the alleged debts is clear in your own mind.

 

What is the status, history and amounts of them all?

 

Which might you want to challenge because of PPI, penalty charges or failure to provide a true CCA?

 

How much can you realistically afford to pay each month based on a realistic I&E?

 

If you take the lot as it stands to CCS then there is no guarantee that all creditors will freeze interest and charges and CCS will expect pro-rata payments of at least £100 per month in total. people have different experiences of CCS DMPs - read the threads on CAG

 

I should do the preliminary list first and clear your mind.

 

You might then go to CAB for advice.

 

Once the situation is clearer, you can post again here and you'll get support.

 

Best wishes

yep i'd fire a cca of to everyone.

 

and these charges...

 

all CC charges/fees and loan charges/ppi can be reclaimed

 

as for I/E sheet

 

never tell anyone your pers financial details

the only person that can demand that is a judge

hence the troble with M+S!!

 

take control....its YOUR money not theirs!

 

you decide what they get not THEM.

DMP's are easily done by yourself. You do need a VERY clear of your position, what you owe, how much and to whom as well as an honest and accurate I/E sheet. I don't know if the I/E sheet here works out prorata payments automatically for you or not? If not, I can send you one that will.

 

Are all your debts still with the original creditor? If so fine, if in doubt, send a prove it letter to them and make sure it has a correct Deed of Assignment. I'd also be inclined to say you'll only communicate via letter from now on - they won't like this, but it is your right!

 

Once you've done this, repost and we'll take it from there.

per i'd not give any detailed info about pers finance

 

very very basic stuff to creditors only

 

 

only a judge can order detailed info.

Hi Richard

 

I&E is a difficult one because, although they have no 'right to it', they won't agree a DMP or token payments without one.

 

I have supplied I&E based on a National Debtline template to OCs only (i.e. not to DCAs). I refuse to supply any supporting documentation or to fill in their intrusive I&Es.

 

I am careful about how I sign things. A scanned signature that is slightly different or signed in red (difficult to photocopy) and that overlaps printed text. I'm sure you get the drift.

 

This is just practical advice based on recent experience; if an alleged debt is in dispute because, e.g. failure to provide a CCA, then different tactics may be more appropriate.

 

best wishes

I have found IE sheets proving extreme hardship a very useful and powerful negotiating tool. Just this morning a company wrote off a £2500 debt because of my financial circumstances. I would say it depends what is on it as to whether or not it is good to use it.

slightly going off point now but i bank with nationwide and have incurred alot of bank charges with them went through the courts etc but then lost due to the courts outcome,but was on the nationwide banking website and was looking at account charges it is saying that returned dd inncurr a £15 charge,the charges are correct as of the 1st nov 2010,well only last month i was charged £30 for returned dd as was all my original charges.what i am wondering is have they just reduced there charges rates and if so surely this should open up the case again as if they feel £15 is a fair charge now then surely i can have the £15 extra that i paid them for previous charges which had totaled over £3000 over the years with them.does anyone know have they just changed there charges or has it been this amount for some time because if so i want a rebate .
