    • 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.

I was wondering if someone could quickly cast an eye over the following figures, prior to me doing a Voluntary Termination of my Car back to Welcome.

I have researched the background to this, so I am not new to it as such, however I just need clarification if possible.

Ok here goes.

Firstly this IS a credit agreement regulated by the Consumer Act.

Total Amount Payable of Goods - £17327.36

Total Amount Payable of Insurances - £1440.00

Total Amount Payable - £18767.36

Mechanical Breakdown Insurance - £650.00

Shortfall Insurance - £350.00

Deposit - £100

 

Ok after you have picked yourselves up lol....

 

I have paid a total of £9383.68.

The car is in decent nick, apart from the usual wear and tear. There is an issue with the engine, yet Im not prepared to resolve it. (Ill deal with that later) Since Ive had the car, I have replaced (at my own cost)

 

New Turbo and Intercooler

New Head Gaskett

New Glow Plugs

New Fuel Rail Sensor

New Starter Motor

New Crank Sensor

New EGR Valve

New Exhaust

 

That is added to, 3 sets of tyres, 1 Split Alloy and 2 sets of Brakes. These I expect to replace as thats general wear and tear.

So looking at figures, am I within my rights?

Any comments/advice would be most WELCOME. (no pun intended)

Thanks for the reply.

 

I have not claimed on the insurance yet, I was thinking of doing that.

 

The agreement says 8613.68, so Im over that, however I just want to make sure there are no loop holes.

 

As for the APR - Its 22.25% :(

no loopholes and they owe you!!

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...

yes you can claim both insurances.

 

Did you arrange the loan with welcome yourself or was it done via a broker?

 

Also on your agreement figures - if you can tell me how much the monthly repayments on the agreement are - and how many months for - i can check out the APR for you. Welcome have made errors on that in the past.

Wow.

 

Ok - I did the deal at the car place, just using the salesman there.

 

Payments are 386.62 x 48

 

Many thanks for this, its really appreciated.

that gives an APR of 22% so they are within acceptable tolerances. Would be worth sending them an SAR though to have a look at thier statement of price to see how they have worked this out - sometimes shows up erros in their calcualtions.

 

Where you ever informed that the salesman at the garage would be paid commission for arranging the finance?

 

Was it a welcome site - or independant?

Then you have a case for undeclared commission too.

 

You can Google Hurstanger v Wilson for more info on that.

 

To get the info though you need to do an SAR to the original garage for all paperwork and also welcome. If it's something you wanted to follow up.

Send it to the head office - never deal with the local branch - the branches are only there to collect money not sort out problems. They tend to lose letters/complaints etc. Unless it has a cheque in of course.

Hi, when I vt'd my car with Welcome I did them all. I also took a copy to the local branch just to make sure they didn't 'loose' it, funny enough the local branch didn't want to sign that I had dropped it off (probably couldn't find any crayons)

Make sure that when they send you their so called liability letter that they have your deposit listed - as on mine the deposit went missing.

Well thanks for all the help.

 

Ive cancelled the DD and had my local branch on. They were quite helpful, however they wanted a copy of the termination also. So Ive just faxed it them too.

 

Ill keep you posted on all the developments....
