    • Hi All. I was driving in Stevenage down a 40 road.  After coming off the motor way i noticed my car felt a little "weird" so i accelerated, then slowed the car down.  Shortly after i got stopped by a manned police car with a laser. During the stop the officer stated i was doing 54 in a 40, the conversation was short, but he said i would unlikely get a awareness course and it was most likely 3 points and a fine.  Mrs thought it was a good idea to have dairy when she is lactose intollerant on date night, so we just got on our way.  At the time, i didnt admit to the offence, but did say i didnt realise and had slowed down in any case. The officers chest camera was recording and on. At the stop, he asked where to send the fine to, as i knew i would be travelling to visit family up north, i provided my temporary details at that location in Yorkshire. It is now 05/05 and i havent recieved anything at either my home address in Stevenage or the temporary address. 1. Is there a time limit in which paperwork needs to be sent to me. 2. SHould i query the ticket as i dont want to miss any deadlines (if so who do i check with?) OR should i keep queit. 3. Given nothing has arrived in 20 days, is there a chance of appeal if and when it comes through? Many thanks CrazeUK
    • Hi All. A family friends car was having issues when she was on a trip visiting family up north at the begining of January.  She ended up leaving it at my friends garage in the same location, who parked it on his forecourt to investigate the issue, howver he said most likely it is beyond economical repair as its a serious gearbox fault. In the meantime i replaced her car with one of my spare cars. The insurance on the car then expired in at the end of January.  When the insurance expired, I sent a paper V890 paper as i didnt have her V5 Reference number in hand to do it online (i have a copy of this).  She didnt mention she hadnt recieved any confirmation as she didnt know if she would get one.  She then cancelled her road tax at the end of March (i think) as she was paying by DD. She then was travelling up north so didnt get her ,ail until last week. She recievd a letter dated 09/04/2024 stating she had failed to insure the vehcile and there was a £100 fine which could be reduced to £50 if she respons by 11/05/2024.  As soon as we noticed, i got her to dig  out the V5 and SORN'd the vehicle.   My friend has been a bit slow in checking the fault, however i suspect it will still be scrapped and is still on his forecourt. Is this possible to appeal?
    • worthy to not forget Just to let you know this bunch Kensington have been fined £1.225m by the financial regulator for treating borrowers who were in arrears unfairly. Claim those charges back plus the interest and tell them not to add any more to the account. There are a few news stories here you can get the info for a letter to send to them. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/8615870.stm  
    • Hi All. I went to visit a family friend in Rochdale on a new housing estate opposite a old row of houses. The location is Royle Road, Postcode OL11 3PE. I was originally parked in parking bays outside the old houses, then moved the car, when I noticed my tyre was flat, so parked on what looked like double yellows to use his air pump to check and inflate the tyres before we left the house.   In the time i went inside to sort the pump and power supply i got a PCN.  The tyre then got changed (has a puncture) and we left. PCN Number:         RE######## Date:             04/05/2024 Time:             20:36 Observation:         20:34 to 20:36 Reported location:     Royle Park Road Reason:        Parked in a restricted street during prescribed hours (Code: 01) I believe this PCN is not correct and has grounds to appeal: 1. My friend who moved into the property around 6 months ago, swears that even though it has old double yellows marked, they are not current or council marked.   He said the property development company had said they had marked them for ease of access during development. 2. The road i was parked on was Royle Road.  The PCN was issued for Royle Park Road, which is about 400 yards up the road. 3. There are no sign posts or marking showing parking  restriction hours in the entire area (there maybe on Royle park Road). I have attached a map of the Location where i parked as a red dot. I have 2 questions: a.  Is there a way to check where double yellow lines are marked on some register to check if they are current? b. Can my grounds of appeal simply be, wrong location, wrong offence? Thanks in advance. Map_20240505.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.

Here is todays latest update:

 

 

Dear

 

 

Our response to your correspondence

 

 

I refer to your email below, which was received on 2nd June 2011.

 

In your email you acknowledge receipt of the information we have provided in response to your request pursuant to section 77/78 of the Consumer Credit Act 1974 (“CCA”). However, I note you remain dissatisfied with the same.

 

 

 

Upon reviewing our records, I refer you to our previous correspondence dated 19th May 2011, in which Cabot Financial (Europe) Ltd responded to the issues you have raised and our position remains unchanged. I would with respect advise you that you have been misinformed in relation to the arguments you continue to raise and you have no grounds for your continued dispute and failure to repay your financial liabilities. I would with respect advise that you have not been misinformed by CAG but are being led up the garden path by these muppets, no Terms and Conditions no CCA as its nothing but an application form as per its title.

 

 

 

In addition to the above, I note your reference to section 127(3) of the CCA. From the documentation previously provided, there is no question as to the enforceability of your credit agreement. It clearly complies with the requirements of the CCA and the Consumer Credit (Agreements) Regulations 1983, relevant at the time. Should you intend to challenge the enforceability of your credit agreement, you must apply to the Court to obtain a declaration of unenforceability. We would recommend you seek independent legal advice prior to the commencement of any such proceedings. (No it does not theres not terms and conditions so as i said its nothing but an application form. As for "you must apply to the Court to obtain a declaration of unenforceability" that's bull****, why would we want to do that and incur the costs of doing so, when a court can not enforce their legal claim and will strike out their claim upon the agreement being as not being enforcable as we all ready know it isn't.)

 

 

 

We would also like to highlight that the sole purpose of the CCA is for consumer protection, not to provide a method for the avoidance of a debt, which we believe you are attempting in this matter. And we are not advising her avoid payment but simply protect angry mums rights under the CCA, i,e, no enforcable agreement means issuing proceedings being unlawful and a breach of her rights under the agreement P.s. you think all that stand up for there rights are trying to avoid paying you anyway, so your logic their is somewhat flawed idiots.

 

 

I would again like to reiterate that the information provided is sufficient to satisfy the requirements set out under section 77/78 of the CCA. It is also adequate to justify the existence of this debt and your liability to repay the same. Therefore, we recommend that you continue to maintain payments in accordance with your agreed repayment arrangement, which for your information has been agreed for a monthly payment of £1.00. NO TERMS AND CONDITIONS THERE NOTHING BUT AN APPLICATION FORM

 

As for the monthly payment - well no such agreement was agreed or entered into between angrymum and you muppets so no it was not agreed with you. The payments were agreed with Capital one, and your owners ship of the account is question due to your fabricated NOA with a 2008 logo for a 2006 document. So if she should pay anyone its capital one not you muppets as she has never had a contract/agreement with you

 

 

 

Finally, I note from your email received on 1st June 2011 that you refer to recent correspondence we have sent in relation to your account, which states we have recently purchased your account. I would like to take this opportunity to clarify that this letter was a duplicate of the introductory letter, which was originally sent to your address on 22nd December 2006. Therefore, it is clear that we have not been illegally trying to collect payments on your account as you have alleged. Right so why does it have a 2008 logo if it was a duplicate of the letter supposedly sent in 2006 which would have had a 2006 logo? You do know the meaning of the word duplicate is exact copy - don't you? Hardly say its an exact copy of a letter sent in 2006 when its got a 2008 logo on it that did not exist in 2006 idiots

 

 

 

The Customer Assurance department will not enter in to any further correspondence with you regarding this matter as we have continually responded to the issues you have raised. And you are still in default of the CCA request and have been since may 2010 i do not see a judge looking favorably on you for refusing to discuss the dispute, and choosing to ignore it all together

 

 

 

For your ease of reference the outstanding balance on the above account is .

 

 

 

I trust I have set out our position clearly. Yeah you admit that the notice of assignment is fabricated and that your a dumb desk jockey that has not understanding of the CCA 1974, and who as a biased opinion of all those standing up for their rights as nothing but people wanting to avoid their debts.

 

 

Yours sincerely

If they aren't going to correspond with me any more, how do they expect me to set up a payment? :wink:

 

Lol exactly. Best thing is, they assume you already had an agreed repayment plan of £1 with them, when really you never had an repayment plan with them as it was with capital one not them. And why should you pay them when their ownership is questionable and they have failed to provide a valid CCA. Basically they have not proven their ownership but proven they have fabricated documents so who's to say they did not also fabricate the application form as its funny how they didn't have on in last year but as if by magic 12 months on they have an application form and an NOA (though with a logo from 2008 on a alleged duplicate of a 2006 document lol)

So, on the one hand they claim you have a payment agreement of £1 a month in place... and on the other, they’re saying you haven’t paid... is that correct?

 

Why not send them a jigsaw? It will keep them amused for decades.

They say they did, but we didn't receive one, so when I questioned it, they sent a letter saying they had 'recently' acquired the account and the letter was dated the day I asked about the letter of assignment. When I questioned it, they said it was a copy of the letter they sent in December 2006, surely if it was a true copy it would have December 2006 date on it?

Ok, once again this morning we've received a letter from FIRE stating this is their Pre-Visit notification, no further Notice or warning will be given that doorstep agents will be call upon us!

 

I've sent them letters, emails telling the account was in dispute, asking for copies of the CCA again and letter of assignment, none of which we have received. :-x

 

The letter states we have 48 hours to respond by calling 0845 0700381.

Standard garbage designed to make you ring them so they can bully you into making a payment. Waste of your time and money to write to them again, wait and see if someone does turn up advise them to **** off or you will call police as someone is at your home and is liable to cause a breach of the peace.
