    • If that was the reason then that is good news. The whole reason that being able to charge £100 for breaching private car park rules is because the law Lords decided in a celebrated case that the rogues had a legitimate interest in keeping their car park spaces available for all motorists . {parking Eye v Beavis]. However when the business is closed then there is no legitimate interest in keeping spaces free so to charge £100 is a penalty. As such any Court would automatically throw out the case  when he penalty charge is accepted.

    • 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.

OFT complaints are essential here - about BC withholding info and HFO

 

You can also complain to Trading Standards via Consumer Direct and the police

 

Trading Standards via http://www.consumerdirect.gov.uk/contact

 

I have sent two emails to the Barclaycard rep, I think bil should contact Wimbledon police over the threats, IMO this is very serious.

They have previous over stuff like this...........

US President Barack Obama referred to Ugland House as the biggest building in the world or the biggest tax SCA* in the world.

That's just the problem though Barclaycard Rep. The Head of the Debt Sale Team, Ken Apter, failed to ensure that all of the sale agreements were signed off properly. Any account held by HFO Capital/HFO Services or Roxburghe are not valid under English Law.

 

There have been no legal assignments. Oooopsss... better get the cheque book out ;-)

Roxburghe or HFO? So who did Barclaycard sell this to?

 

The OP said in his first post that Barclaycard would not give him any information –*that is a problem for Barclaycard, not HFO. Barclaycard should still hold information on the account. I agree that the OP can issue an SAR, but a simple phone call can help move things along quickly and I see no reason why Barclaycard cannot be helpful.

You are completely missing the issues here. The information about these accounts that the people having problems require is NOT available from HFO, HFO are spinning them a line and being economic with the truth.

 

Barclaycard are obliged to give their ex-customers information on who has bought their account and when, also information such as when BC last received a payment. This should be available under the DPA and freely if BC are an ethical company. When these debts were sold, your customers were not properly informed about this in many cases and left to the mercy of these companies.

 

People are being told by BC recoveries to 'contact HFO' and this is not acceptable when the data is available via BC ssytems.

 

BC are utimately responsible for selling debts on to companies such as HFO who then subject people to harassment and abuse. Harrison V Link highlighted the responsibiliy of an original creditor for the behaviour of their agent, possibly future court action will test the responsibilities of debt sellers. Hopefully the authorities will look it the whole area of debt selling.

Here is a form of limitation defence to a claim based upon a simple contract. There may be other grounds of defence in this particular case, but this defence alone will serve to defeat the claim assuming the facts stated in it are true.

 

You are entitled to be cocksure.

 

1 The Claimant's claim was issued on (date).

 

2 The Claimant contends that the Claimant's claim so issued is a claim in contract and is statute barred pursuant to the provisions of section 5 of the Limitation Act 1980. If, which is denied, the claimant contends that the Defendant is in breach of the alleged contract, in excess of 6 yearslink3.gif have elapsed since the date on which any cause of action for breach accrued for the benefit of the Claimant.

 

3 The Claimant's claim to be entitled to payment of £x or any other sum, or relief of any kind is denied.

 

I BELIEVE THAT THE CONTENTS OF THIS DEFENCE ARE TRUE.

 

Signed:

 

Dated:

And as has been said here you simply MUST report this nest of vipers to the Office Of Fair Trading....their behaviour is unacceptable and oppressive and is completely in breach of the OFT's guidelines on debt collection as well as a potential offence under the Consumer Protection From Unfair Trading Regulations 2008. I would also suggest you report this to your local MP too. HFO have been warned enough about their past behaviour... - have a read - http://www.dailymail.co.uk/money/article-1179871/TONY-HETHERINGTON-Hurl-brick-window-advises-solicitor.html

This is a joke right?

 

Is it HFO or is it roxburghe - and if its HFO which one? Services, Cayman, Ireland.

 

The complaints are that Barclaycard are telling people who enquire, under the data protection act, for information that BC hold on them, to go to HFO for data, that is held by BC, on BC systems, under the data protection Act.

 

We just want BC to comply with UK law - and be honest in their replies - not hard is it?

 

On a scale of one to ten that "help" is in minus figures.

Agree DoH, the response of the BC rep here is very odd. When ex BC customers are defending court action after 6+ years of non activity on the account and they find that this has been 'sold' to another company without their knowledge they have a right to request all relevent information to use in their defence.. What exactly is the DPA for? I really hope that such sales will become a thing of the past and there will be some official investigation into this whole sorry mess

Guest Barclaycard

Hi everyone.

 

You are correct. You are still welcome to request all information that is held about you by Barclaycard under Section 7 of the Data Protection Act (1998 ).

 

With this in mind, if you wish to request this information, then you can send a written request to:

 

Data Protection Dep.

Barclaycard House

1234 Pavilion Drive

Northampton

NN4 7SG

 

You will also need to include a £10.00 cheque made payable to Barclaycard.

 

If you have any more specific queries or questions, you can forward them to us via email.

Thanks

yes we know we are correct.

 

In which case why did you, and others in your company, keep advising people to contact HFO direct?

All very well, you are describing a SAR request which takes up to 40 days to fulfil. We advise all CAG members whose accounts have been sold to HFO to request this. However this is taking the 'hard line' IMO

 

We have CAG members who are faced with pending legal action and serious harassment from this company, HFO, often after many years of not hearing anything at all about this matter. In these cases a simple phone call to BC with confirmation in writing of a few basic facts will assist them greatly and save a lot of worry and distress. I would consider this to be part of the customer service offered by such a company as yourselves.

 

I trust that we CAG members can have a meaningful dialogue with yourselves and mean no offence by any of my comments. I am grateful that you have taken time to assist.

Please support CAG and they will support you.
