    • Well we can't predict what the judge will believe. PE will say that they responded in the deadline and you will say they don't. Nobody can tell what a random DJ will decide. However if you go for an OOC settlement you should still be able to get some money
    • What do you guys think the chances are for her?   She followed the law, they didnt, then they engage in deception, would the judge take kindly to being lied to by these clowns? If we have a case then we should proceed and not allow these blatant dishonest cheaters to succeed 
    • 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.

    • 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 in dispute with Black Horse Finance for some time now (for reasons that I don’t think I need to go into here) & they have now “sold” the debt on to DLC (Hillesden Securities), who have recently begun to chase me for payment.

On 22nd of November I sent a CCA request using the template on this forum. It was received and signed for by DLC on 23rd. Today (2nd December) I have received the attached letter.

I’m at a loss as I don’t really understand what this means. They seem to be saying that they can’t supply an agreement (having requested it from Black Horse apparently) but despite this fact they still intend to continue “collection activity” – in other words they are choosing to ignore the fact that they are unable to comply with my request and are carrying on regardless (or that’s how I read it).

Can somebody advise what I should do now please? Are they acting in a correct manner, or are they simply ignoring the law?

Do I need to respond to this letter? Or should I just wait until they contact me again?

All advice will be very much appreciated.

Many thanks

Standard template, simply saying that they will continue to process your data with the CRA's whilst they try to source your agreement. They are unable to take any LEGAL recovery action, so they cannot take you to court whilst they are still unable to provide you with your request.

So once they are out of time (12 working days from receipt of your rerquest) You should send them the 'failed in dispute' letter and withhold ALL payments until such time that they do provide the docs.

If they fail to find it, then you can submit them with a S10 notice to tell them to stop processing your data.

Who ever heard of someone getting a job at the Jobcentre? The unemployed are sent there as penance for their sins, not to help them find work!

Many thanks for that Bazooka Boo - I shall sit tight until the 12 days have expired. Where will I find a "failed in dispute" letter please? Also, what is an S10 notice and at what point do I send them that?

Yes don't worry just yet about a S10 notice, this is the 'failed' letter you will need to send them when they are out of time.

Hi Soli,

That letter is actually an excellent result. As above, it may not stop them asking you for the money but it means that the account is unenforceable in court until they do fulfill the request.

Send them the account in dispute letter as above.

A link to the template and more info is in the debt help blog:

kind regards,

Many thanks to everyone for all the great advice given – very much appreciated.

I have this morning received a letter (attached) from solicitors acting for Hillesden/DLC which suggest that they are pursuing legal routes despite them not yet supplying the information I have asked for & the account being in dispute.

Can anybody suggest how I should respond to this letter please – do I need to reply or should I just ignore it? If I do need to reply, what do I say?

Many thanks

another threat-o-gram

 

ignore totally

please don't hit Quote...just type we know what we said earlier..

DCA's view debtors as suckers, marks and mugs

NO DCA has ANY legal powers whatsoever on ANY debt no matter what it's Type

and they

are NOT and can NEVER  be BAILIFFS. even if a debt has been to court..

If everyone stopped blindly paying DCA's Tomorrow, their industry would collapse overnight...

As long as the 12+2 working days is up since you sent your CCA request, you can send it now. Get proof of postage and make sure you keep a copy of the letter.

 

It isn't quite - I posted on 22/11 & the received on 23/11 - so the 12 + 2 is up next Tuesday (I'm presuming weekends are included in the 12 days).

 

I sent the CCA request to DLC but got my reply (as my orginal post, above) from Hillesden. To whom should i send my dispute letter? I'm guessing Hillesden?

And I'm going to ignore the Aplins letter.

Isn't it ironic how, if we send anything important to them, they have to respond within "working days" from day of receipt whereas if they send anything important to us eg a DN we have (according to a misguided judge) to respond in calendar days from the day they post it.

 

Coincidence?

I don't think so!

Just looking at that letter, it is clearly printed off by a computer on it's normal threat cycle, if it had any human input they would know whether you were Sir or madam, in fact they would address you directly.

And another point to note, the signature, clearly there is no-one with just the name 'Aplins' so if these charlatans can use such signatures to sign off documents, why when you begin flexing your rights do they then try to hide behind the DPA, which they have no knowledge of?

Because they are second rate, tin pot, knuckle dragging, immature oxygen thieves!

I'm going to start signing with an X, perfectly legal to do so...

I can understand though why people get so worried by these types of firms - they send out very official looking paperwork all tied up in legal jargon. I would imagine that the vast majority of people just pay up.

Yes agreed, it used to scare me something chronic before I knew my rights, now I welcome their letters, just for something to do...currently waiting for TV licensing to pass on an imaginary debt to Idiot Iqor, I love dealing with their shambolic call centre...

It does give a feeling of empowerment, I agree. First came across this forum a few years back when I was fighting with a place called Welcome Finance, and it was life saver. The help I received was fantastic and I beat them! This time too the help has been quick, very clear (to a novice liek me!) and extremely helpful.
