    • Hello dx100uk, After months of waiting for a response I finally got a reply and I must say it was the worst 4 months of my life the - fear of the unknown. So, they wrote back and said I was in the wrong BUT on this occasion they  would not take action but keep me on file for the next 12 months. It. was the biggest relief of my life a massive weight lifted -  I would like to thank you and the team for all your support
    • I have contacted the sofa shop who are sending someone out tomorrow to inspect the furniture. I suspect if anything a replacement will be offered although I would prefer a refund. Few photos of the wear in the material, this is how it was delivered.  
    • Yup, for goodness sake she needs to stop paying right now, DCA's are powerless, as .  Is it showing on their credit file? Best to use Check my file. All of the above advice is excellent, definitely SAR the loan company as soon as possible.
    • Hi all, I am wandering if this is appealable. It has already been through a challenge on the Islington website and the it was rejected. Basically there was a suspended bay sign on a post on Gee st which was obscured by a Pizza van. The suspension was for 3 bays outside 47 Gee st. I parked outside/between 47 & 55 Gee st. I paid via the phone system using a sign a few meters away from my car. When I got back to the car there was a PCN stuck to the windscreen which I had to dry out before I could read it due to rain getting into the plastic sticky holder.  I then appealed using the Islington website which was then rejected the next day. I have attached a pdf of images that I took and also which the parking officer took. There are two spaces in front of the van, one of which had a generator on it the other was a disabled space. I would count those as 3 bays? In the first image circled in red is the parking sign I read. In the 2nd image is the suspension notice obscured by the van. I would have had to stand in the middle of the road to read this, in fact that's where I was standing when I took the photo. I have pasted the appeal and rejection below. Many thanks for looking. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- This is my appeal statement: As you can see from the image attached (image 1) I actually paid £18.50 to park my car in Gee st. I parked the car at what I thought was outside 55 Gee st as seen in image 2 attached. When I read the PCN issued it stated there was a parking suspension. There was no suspension notice on the sign that I used to call the payment service outside number 55 Gee st. I looked for a suspension notice and eventually found one which was obscured by a large van and generator parked outside 47 Gee st. As seen in images 3 and 4 attached. I am guessing the parking suspension was to allow the Van to park and sell Pizza during the Clerkenwell design week. I was not obstructing the use or parking of the van, in fact the van was obstructing the suspension notice which meant I could not read or see it without prior knowledge it was there. I would have had to stand in the road to see it endangering myself as I had to to take images to illustrate the hidden notice. As there was no intention to avoid a parking charge and the fact the sign was not easily visible I would hope this challenge can be accepted. Many thanks.   This is the text from the rejection: Thank you for contacting us about the above Penalty Charge Notice (PCN). The PCN was issued because the vehicle was parked in a suspended bay or space. I note from your correspondence that there was no suspension notice on the sign that you used to call the payment serve outside number 55 Gee Street. I acknowledge your comments, however, your vehicle was parked in a bay which had been suspended. The regulations require the suspension warning to be clearly visible. It is a large bright yellow sign and is erected by the parking bay on the nearest parking plate to the area that is to be suspended. Parking is then not permitted in the bay for any reason or period of time, however brief. The signs relating to this suspension were sited in accordance with the regulations. Upon reviewing the Civil Enforcement Officer's (CEO's) images and notes, I am satisfied that sufficient signage was in place and that it meets statutory requirements. Whilst I note that the signage may have been obstructed by a large van and generator at the time, please note, it is the responsibility of the motorist to locate and check the time plate each time they park. This will ensure that any changes to the status of the bay are noted. I acknowledge that your vehicle possessed a RingGo session at the time, however, this does not authorize parking within a suspended bay. Suspension restrictions are established to facilitate specific activities like filming or construction, therefore, we anticipate the vehicle owner to relocate the vehicle from the suspended area until the specified date and time when the suspension concludes. Leaving a vehicle unattended for any period of time within a suspended bay, effectively renders the vehicle parked in contravention and a Civil Enforcement Officer (CEO) may issue a PCN. Finally, the vehicle was left parked approximately 5 metres away from the closest time plate notice. It is the responsibility of the driver to ensure they park in a suitable parking place and check all signs and road markings prior to leaving their vehicle parked in contravention. It remains the driver's responsibility to ensure that the vehicle is parked legally at all times. With that being said, I would have to inform you, your appeal has been rejected at this stage. Please see the below images as taken by the CEO whilst issuing the PCN: You should now choose one of the following options: Pay the penalty charge. We will accept the discounted amount of £65.00 in settlement of this matter, provided it is received by 10 June 2024. After that date, the full penalty charge of £130.00 will be payable. Or Wait for a Notice to Owner (NtO) to be issued to the registered keeper of the vehicle, who is legally responsible for paying the penalty charge. Any further correspondence received prior to the NtO being issued may not be responded to. The NtO gives the recipient the right to make formal representations against the penalty charge. If we reject those representations, there will be the right of appeal to the Environment and Traffic Adjudicator.   Gee st pdf.pdf

    • 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.

Have they provided any evidence for this payment yet?

 

Have you pushed them for the evidence under CPR?

 

As of yet no sufficient evidence has been provided by them and the court have put dates in place for HFO to submit better evidence.

 

I have submitted some 'stronger' evidence of my own displaying no payments being made to anyone at the time in question so hopefully that might put the pressure on them itself.

What 'evidence' did they submit to the Court that a one off payment had been made?

 

Can you scan it and upload it?

 

 

All the evidence they had and brought to court was a 'screen' shot of some system that made out money had been made which to be fair any larry on a PC could create and it was not good enough..

 

They have since been told to produce 'much more solid evidence', Basically a payment from a bank or credit card is only deemed as being acceptable.

Sorry, not been in the loop for a while,

 

But where it says HFO Caymen purchased the debt on 5 oct 2007 and transfered it to HFO Dublin in Jan 31st 2008 via an inter group agreement, hadn't the account already been transfered to HFO Services automatically under the CP2 agreement?

 

Or am I getting mixed up?

No, not heard anything from HFO for months. Occassionlly they have sent my Dad their usual 72 hours crap, but they know that I know they aren't going to take me to court on the strength of their case.

Did you get a copy of the evidence, as you should have? Did you get a WS? Can we see them?

 

I did get a copy of the lame screen shot/file print out of figures that looks like was done in 'Notepad' by someone (there so called evidence).

The date has been set for the next hearing in Feb..

 

In the meantime I had to produce another statement by 8/12 which I did and submitted my evidence of no payment being made to both parties.

I also made reference in my latest statment that: I contacted M&S and was confirmed that the last payment ever being made by me on that account was in 2004.. 4 months after that payment was made the debt was sold to a company called Roxburghe T/A HFO Services, Wimbledon etc..

Which is the same address as Turnbull rutherford solicitors (who are acting on behalf of HFO).

 

I wonder if the judge will spot anything in that and then also spot the fact that why are HFO Capital in Ireland are getting involved.

 

I have yet to hear anything back but I know theres only a few days for them to get a reply back in.

OK, bog standard HFO/TR system notes.

 

A few things strike me as odd.

 

1. The charge off amount is £2,875.11 – this info would have been provided by M&S.

 

2. The assigned balance is £2,435.11 – some £450 less. Is there any way you would have paid £450 to M&S before the account was sold?

 

3. They record the last payment as 22 February 2011! Did they actually take any money then? It’s a moot point if the account was already SB.

 

Did you send an SAR to M&S to get account statements? Or have you called them to ask? If not, call M&S now and ask about the last payment dates. This is urgent.

No chance I paid 450.00 to M&S...

In Feb this year they phoned and bullied my parents into being made to think baliffs where coming out to there house (my old address at time of debt) and so she agreed to make payments on my behalf there and then as she was **** scared..

Luckily she told me and I stepped in ASAP and got the bank to reverse it just in the nick of time and no money ever did get to them.

That was when all the rest of it starts with all the bombarding of letters and calls and then here we are 9 months or so later going through a small claims process over an 'alleged' payment in 2006.

 

I have spoken to M&S as I could never get through to the desired SAR dept. that they have so a colleague gave me as much info over the phone as she could when I explained this.

I was informed that:

 

After the last attempted payment was made by me (according to there records was on 28/1/04 of a fee of 50.00 but bounced ) the account was left at £2875.11 until it was sold on 18.6.2004.

The exact name and address the debt was sold to on this date was: Roxburghe, T/A HFO Services, 5th Floor, 165 The Broadway, Wimbledon, SW19 1ME.

 

Again to get account notes in writing I need to call the M&S Agency team to request a SAR but can never get through to them so that was the best info over the phone she could give me at the time.

Something odd here. Something possibly very smelly.

 

M&S claim it was sold 18 June 2004? Can you call them again and double, treble check that? This is so important.

 

HFO claim they bought it on 5 October 2007.

 

Here’s why there’s a problem. M&S say it was sold to Roxburghe t/a HFO Services on 18 June 2004.

 

Well, HFO Services was only formed on 5 May 2004. It was dormant until 31 December 2005.

 

The company now known as Roxburghe (UK) Ltd was dormant until 31 August 04. Until 3 August 2004 it was known as Roxnet Online.

 

Here’s where it gets complex (and, some might say, deliberately so, a smokescreen of some kind):

 

HFO Services changed its name to Roxburghe (UK) Ltd on 16 July 2004 for a few days. It changed back to HFO Services on 3 August, the same day that Roxnet Online changed its name to Roxburghe (UK) Ltd.

 

What this means is that there was no trading entity that M&S could have sold to on this date in 2004.

 

Roxburghe’s forerunner, Roxburghe International Credit Services Ltd, was dissolved on 15 March 2005 but at the time of alleged assignment was also a dormant company.

 

Dormant companies CANNOT trade.

 

You need to get to the bottom of this.

The impression I have got from being in the court room was that whether it is stature barred or not everything is just hanging on the fact that whether a payment was made on the date in question of Nov '06.

 

Whether that impression would include that whoever was running what company at whatever time would not come into question.

 

I have however as explained before that in my latest reply to this case I explained that the debt was sold on to Roxburghe on such and such a date etc. trading the same address as HFO etc..

It's whether or not the judge will notice or maybe now wonder why 'HFO Capital' of Ireland are the ones who are acting as the claimants in this and question it or still make it irrelevant I do not know?

I did however also send a copy of a bank statement from the whole month in question with it showing that no payment of 20.00 had left my account on the date in question or any there around it.

 

Maybe I have just turned the screw a little on the whole matter I don't know. :x
