    • 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.

    • 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.

Hi,

 

I've just had a nose round Cabot's site, and checked my payment history and noticed in July my payments increased from £80 to £88, I have received nothing from Cabot. I'm sure they can't do this, can anyone offer me any advice? i first agreed to pay £70 a month for a Monument Credit Card, way back in 2008 (01/09/2008 - first payment) then about three months after that, they phoned me and kept on and on, pushing me to up my payments which i did, then in July 2010 they up'ed it again this time with no call or anything....and certainly without my permission.

 

What's my next move, to whom should i report them to? is it worth contacting them? i've got to do something as i recently lost my job (i found other employment quickly but have had to take a drastic pay cut) Any advice gratefully received.

Ah of course, the Direct Debit Gurantee!? i'll get in touch with the bank.

 

On the CCA note, i haven't, and now i'm thinking that perhaps i should, i recently used an outside firm to recover credit card charges from Monument (Barclaycard) with whom the debt is from, and got about £600 back, dealt directly with Barclaycard, i think i will CCA them and see what they've got, if anything!

Thanks DX

Cancell you DD straight away and set up a Standing Order, that way you are in control of what you pay and when. And the previous person is right the DD guarantee anables you to call back the payment, you dont even have to give the bank a reason why.

Always makes me chuckle how these jokers get far too greedy for their own good, I fully condone cancelling the DD with the bank and setting up a S/O, except what you also should do, is set it up to pay them the 'token' payment of £1 a month, and yes it is tit for tat, tough luck for them, if they cannot behave legally and above board then they will lose out, get that CCA off in the post ASAP, and lodge a formal complaint about their unlawful tactics to the OFT&TS via http://www.consumerdirect.gov.uk/contact

AND to their industry regulator http://www.csa-uk.com/page/codes-and-standards as they have fallen way short of any acceptable standards that the CSA likes to make us believe they have!

i'll put in a complaint, and also lodge a complaint with the bank and get some money back on a claim. i'll keep you posted with regards to the CCA.

Well, i sorted out an indemnity claim with the bank today, just waiting for it to be confirmed. I've also sent the CCA off today as well. And, i'm going to complain using the links so kindly given to me by Bazooka.

 

I'll keep you posted on the CCA, no doubt, the next step will be putting the account in dispute, although the DD for £88 has just been cancelled (but not by me, hadn't got round to it.) which leads me to believe there about to try increasing my payments again! i'll keep you posted, and as soon as i see it set up i'll cancel it and put in another claim!

I'm a little confused? Under the DD guarantee, you are entitled to a full and immediate refund, has the bank done this?

As for the DD, cancel it immediately and tell the bank that under no circumstances is this clown outfit to have any access to your account using a DD as they cannot be trusted.

Demand cr@pbots bank details, and until they supply them they won't get paid.

right i'll try again, i think i was speaking to a phone monkey, as he kept putting me on hold, and then he couldn't transfer me to someone who deals with indemnity's when i do get a call back, i'll get this sorted, it has been cancelled, but i will keep a careful eye on my account. i've let them know about these shisters and their antics.

just as a side note

how long have they had some of this money?

 

you might well be entitled to stat int @8%

 

also if this money being missing from your a/c caused you bank charges or charges from other creditors because they did not get paid, you need to look at redress there too

Hi all

Seasoned Caggers know already NEVER EVER to use DIRECT DEBITS FOR ANYTHING especially to miserable vermin like DCA's. The problem with DD's is that they can be changed by the person receiving the money at will.

 

If you want to transfer money regularly use STANDING ORDERS INSTEAD. These are FIXED AMOUNTS THAT ONLY YOU CAN CHANGE.

 

I know people like British Gas etc prefer people to pay with Direct debits for obvious reasons but if you insist that they will only change the amount on a DD AFTER CONSULTING YOU then it might be OK to pay these types of people -- Council Tax, Utilities etc.

 

BUT NEVER EVER EVER EVER EVER USE A DIRECT DEBIT FOR PAYING A DCA.

 

Cheers

jimbo

Thanks for responses! and a good point dx about the 8%, i'll look into that, also jimbo, i'm attempting to get bank details of cr@pbot, in order to set up a s/o, actually what i'm waiting on is them to mess up on the CCA i've asked them for, but at least Natwest are chasing them about the indemnity! and no phone calls from them!! :)

thanks, i can't remember the last time i got a statement and i also received a letter from them today, stating that they have approached the original lender for the documents and they have returned my p/o. so i'm waiting for Monument to come up empty or come up with a toilet rolls worth of a credit agreement!!

well,

 

i've received a reply from cabot with a badly photocopied 'reply card' that i don't remember filling in, but it's my handwriting and signature on there (it also says my salary at the time was £32,000!! trust me, if i was earning that i wouldn't have needed monument!!) and they also sent me the loo roll of all the T & C's from Monument, in fact they sent me the T&C's for the platinum card as well as the 'classic' and also two pages of printout (it looks like payment made by me to cabot not Monument) what do you want me to post up first? all of it or just bits that are important? you can also see on the printout that they sat on the debt from 2005 until 2008 (when i still lived at the address they had) and they've lumped on £1222.64 in PENIN interest transaction

like i said

 

99% of all monument debts are unlawful charges and their 'spoof' PPI

it went under another and they still to this day say it is NOT PPI, so cannot be claimed under mis-selling rules.

 

WRONG done it twice now!

Right I have had to take a very close look at that just to attempt to read it properly it is so poor, so you 'could' argue it on that point, and that you want a clearer legible copy of those T&C's, and secondly trying to put the scans in order, is that all they sent you?

well TBH you wont get very far by arguing that its now not you debt sadly, various court cases by silly individuals and rip-off claims companies have put the deathnell on paperwork errors.

 

my next move now would be to SAR the OC

 

i bet there are heaps of unlawful fees and that OPBP [PPI in sheeps clothing] that will have been charged you to reclaim

 

i bet you can kill this debt stone dead with a few pounds to your pocket if you get reclaiming
