    • Yeah, sorry, that's what I meant .... I said DCBL because I was reading a few threads about them discontinuing claims and getting spanked in court! Meant  YOU  Highview !!!  🖕
    • Though it would be Highview you would  pursue. DCBL are nonentities-on their best day,
    • Yep, I read that and thought about trying to find out what the consideration and grace period is at Riverside but not sure I can. I know they say "You must tell us the specific consideration/grace period at a site if our compliance team or our agents ask what it is"  but I doubt they would disclose it to the public, maybe I should have asked in my CPR 31.14 letter? Yes, I think I can get rid of 5 minutes. I am also going to include a point about BPA CoP: 13.2 The reference to a consideration period in 13.1 shall not apply where a parking event takes place. I think that is Deception .... They giveth with one hand and taketh away with the other! One other point to note, the more I read, the more I study, the more proficient I feel I am becoming in this area. Make no mistake DBCL if you are reading this, when I win in court, if I have the grounds to make any claims against you, such as breach of GDPR, I shall be doing so.

    • the Town and Country [advertisments ] Regulations 2007 are not easy to understand. Most Council planing officials don't so it's good that you found one who knows. Although he may not have been right if the rogues have not been "controlling" in the car park for that long. The time only starts when the ANPR signs go up, not how long the area has been used as a car park.   Sadly I have checked Highview out and they have been there since at least 2014 . I have looked at the BPA Code of Practice version 8 which covers 2023 and that states Re Consideration and Grace Periods 13.3 Where a parking location is one where a limited period of parking is permitted, or where drivers contract to park for a defined period and pay for that service in advance (Pay & Display), this would be considered as a parking event and a Grace Period of at least 10 minutes must be added to the end of a parking event before you issue a PCN. It then goes on to explain a bit more further down 13.5 You must tell us the specific consideration/grace period at a site if our compliance team or our agents ask what it is. 13.6 Neither a consideration period or a grace period are periods of free parking and there is no requirement for you to offer an additional allowance on top of a consideration or grace period. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________So you have  now only overstayed 5 minutes maximum since BPA quote a minimum of 10 minutes. And it may be that the Riverside does have a longer period perhaps because of the size of the car park? So it becomes even more incumbent on you to remember where the extra 5 minutes could be.  Were you travelling as a family with children or a disabled person where getting them in and out of the car would take longer. Was there difficulty finding a space, or having to queue to get out of the car park . Or anything else that could account for another 5 minutes  without having to claim the difference between the ANPR times and the actual times.

    • 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 wonder if someone could give me an idea as to where to start to see if i can claim back my ppi against firstplus.

In August 2004 my husband and I took out a loan for £25,000 ove108 months and £4982.50 was added as ppi. The total amount now £29982.50 which was first payment of £416.88 and then susequent payments of £385.19.

 

In February 2006 we had run into some financial problems and we took out a further advance over 120 months.

£23125.03 to repay off existing Firstplus loan

£25.00 TT Fee

£5849.97 cheque to ourselves

£7102.10 PPI

Total loan £36102.10

monthly repayments of £431.71

 

Yeah I know it was a stupid thing to do and now with hindsight I could have sorted our problems differently. The arrangements for the 2nd loan were all done on the phone with FirstPlus I had initialised contact with them but they were even calling me at my place of work telling me their was a time limit to complete .

 

The montly amount was paid but again we were struggling as my husband works in construction and times were hard. Eventually we were taken to court by Eversheds for possession of our home but we had agreed to pay the monthly premium and £128 off the arrears so the judge agreed with this. Our monthly payment to them now is £600

 

In October 2009 my husband caught a virus that put him on life support in a coma in ICU for 4 weeks and in hospital for a firther 6 weeks. We made a claim on our ppi and they paid the monthly premium till August 2010 when my husband was fit to go back to work. Although the monthly payment was made obviously nothing was paid off the arrears .

 

We are still paying £600 a month although the ppi finished in February 2011 and our payment has not gone down. I can't seem to get a total amount of what we still owe from Firstplus.

We presumed the ppi would be active for the lifetime of the loan - 120 months but it was only for 60 months so we were informed in February 2011 that it had finished. This wasn't pointed out at the time.

 

One other thing , once when I was ill and had to have an operation and take time off work I made a claim on the ppi only to be told that Full cover was for my husband but only death cover for myself. We had always presumed that because we were both named on the loan and the ppi then we had equal cover.

 

We are really struggling at the moment and I have a dmp with cccs but it doesn't include the payment to Firstplus.

 

Do you think |I am eligible to make a claim even though I am in arrears with my payments and the ppi has finished but I am still paying £600 a month.

 

If so how do I go about it.

 

Any and all help would be very much appreciated.

time to Reclaim!

 

have a look on the fos website

 

everything is there

inc a copy of the 'complaint form' to fill out and send the fleecers.

 

i would be inclined to also have a look at the ppi pdf's

there you can also find info on how to calculate what you should be getting back

and many case reviews to follow.

 

i'd also put a copy of your 'SOC' [schedule of charges] for PPI in with your complaint form

 

will show them you mean business and have researched the FOS advice

 

comeback if you need further help

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...

Carter,

 

This can be mind blowing when you first start to consider a claim, but that is why we have this great forum.

 

First things first, do you still have a copy of the credit agreements, or at least know how much of your monthly repayments were made up of ppi?

yes i do have some copies and i know how much some of my monthly payments were made up of ppi.

 

1/10/2004

Amount of advance £25,000

Optional Payment Protection £4982.50

Total Loan £29,982.50

Monthly interest rate 0.639%

APR 7.9%

Estimated number of monthly payments 108

Monthly payment £385.19

 

Can't find out exactly how much of monthly payment was made up of PPI

 

Then from the 27/2/2006 we had another advance to pay off the above

 

Cash Loan £29,000

Monthly repayment Variable were interest rates changes £346.78

PPP Loan £7102.10

Monthly repayment variable were interest rates changes £84.99

Total monthly repayment £431.71

Total amount of credit £36,102.10

Number of repayments 12o

Minimum duration 120 months

APR 7.9%

 

£23125.03 of the above went straight to Firstplus to pay off the first loan. I dont know how much was paid off loan or ppi.. would it have been just loan?

 

we currently pay £600 a month which is £128.60 off our arrears which were £4019.65 in march this year. So the monthly payment is £471.40 + £128.60

this is the payment until October 2013

It is really killing us to find this money each month .

 

The ppi paid out from 26th October 2009 until the end of August 2010 - about 10 months. We had to provide a sick note every month and the ppi payments were worked out on a daily basis not monthly .

 

the payments the ppi made were as follows

 

2/12/09 £455.69

25/1/2010 £769.95

18/3/2010 £769.95

18/5/2010 £471.40

02/6/2010 £659.96

28/6/2010 £549.97

10/9/2010 £659.96

 

as you can see although we sent in a sick note every month it wasn't paid monthly.

 

We have been paying ppi since 2004 and now it has finished it is still on our monthly payment .

 

How would this work. do i try to work out how much ppi i have paid since 2004 and then deduct the amount of ppi paid to us and ask for the balance to be refunded. also do i ask for the amount of ppi that was put on the loan as a lump sum to be taken off so that my monthly payments are reduced

 

any help with composing a letter would be very much appreciated.

 

many thanks

Carter,

 

I can help you to work all this out but need a couple more bits of information.

 

When were you not making your payments which resulted in the arrears and from when did you start paying £600 pm?

Hi

here is the info.

I have found a letter dated February 2006 that firstplus sent informing us that we could have a guaranteed top up loan of £15,500 to top up our existing loan .

it was a unique offer but only available till 28th February 2006.

it gave us a telephone number and said our application would be processed within 3 days.

 

This seemed the answer to our problems and we contacted them on the pre approved hotline number .

There is no date on the letter but just states february.

Our top up loan was signed on the 20th February so as to be in with the deadline of this offer of 28th February.

 

On the 10th September 2008 we received a letter from Evershed solicitors stating we were £3161.90 in arrears on the amount of advance of £29,000

( looking at that i can see that doesn't include the £7102.10 ppi to make the amount £36102.10)

 

They confirmed that possession proceedings had commenced in our local county court.

 

on 17th September 2088 we received claim forms for the possession claim from the county court.

 

It stated the date of the hearing would be 6th November 2008.

It stated that the claimant is asking for possession on the following grounds

the amount loaned was £29000

the total amount to pay the mortgage in full would be £34357.64 including any adjustment for an early settlement .

 

on the 9th October we received a letter from Evershed to say that they would accept the off of full monthly payment and £140 each month towards the arrears but that they would continue to apply for a suspend possession order on these terms.

this amount was one that I had agreed to over the phone with Eversheds because I was so scared we were going to loose our house.

I was very desperate by this time.

 

On the 24th October we received a letter from Eversheds saying that they had received a payment of £1000 from us and would accept £120 per month towards the arrears.

I cant remember how we came to agree on this figure. but that the court proceedings were still going ahead.

 

I met the representative from eversheds outside the court in the waiting room and he said as long as we paid £600 a month then they would ask for the possession order to be suspended.

We went inside to see the judge and he agreed with this.

 

In October 2009 my husband was struck down with an virus that left him in a coma and on a ventilator in intensive care for 5 weeks and in hospital for a further 4 weeks and unable to work till August 2010.

 

During that time i had to apply for payments to be made under the ppi and eventually they were but no arrears just the monthly payment but these weren't done on a regular basis as they pay a daily amount and i had to send in signed medical certificates even thought the icu specialist had said my husband was in a coma and would be unable to work for quite a while.

 

The arrears then went up to £4622.22 and after sending income and expenditure sheets to eversheds they agreed to accept the £600 per month to clear the debts and they will be clear in October 2013.

 

Sorry this is so long winded but tried to put in everything i could remember.

 

If there is anyone out there who could help me put a letter together then it would be very much appreciated.
