    • Thank you for posting up the results from the sar. The PCN is not compliant with the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012 Schedule 4. Under Section 9 [2][a] they are supposed to specify the parking time. the photographs show your car in motion both entering and leaving the car park thus not parking. If you have to do a Witness Statement later should they finally take you to Court you will have to continue to state that even though you stayed there for several hours in a small car park and the difference between the ANPR times and the actual parking period may only be a matter of a few minutes  nevertheless the CEL have failed to comply with the Act by failing to specify the parking period. However it looks as if your appeal revealed you were the driver the deficient PCN will not help you as the driver. I suspect that it may have been an appeal from the pub that meant that CEL offered you partly a way out  by allowing you to claim you had made an error in registering your vehicle reg. number . This enabled them to reduce the charge to £20 despite them acknowledging that you hadn't registered at all. We have not seen the signs in the car park yet so we do not what is said on them and all the signs say the same thing. It would be unusual for a pub to have  a Permit Holders Only sign which may discourage casual motorists from stopping there. But if that is the sign then as it prohibits any one who doesn't have a permit, then it cannot form a contract with motorists though it may depend on how the signs are worded.
    • Defence and Counterclaim Claim number XXX Claimant Civil Enforcement Limited Defendant XXXXXXXXXXXXX   How much of the claim do you dispute? I dispute the full amount claimed as shown on the claim form.   Do you dispute this claim because you have already paid it? No, for other reasons.   Defence 1. The Defendant is the recorded keeper of XXXXXXX  2. It is denied that the Defendant entered into a contract with the Claimant. 3. As held by the Upper Tax Tribunal in Vehicle Control Services Limited v HMRC [2012] UKUT 129 (TCC), any contract requires offer and acceptance. The Claimant was simply contracted by the landowner to provide car-park management services and is not capable of entering into a contract with the Defendant on its own account, as the car park is owned by and the terms of entry set by the landowner. Accordingly, it is denied that the Claimant has authority to bring this claim. 4. In any case it is denied that the Defendant broke the terms of a contract with the Claimant. 5. The Claimant is attempting double recovery by adding an additional sum not included in the original offer. 6. In a further abuse of the legal process the Claimant is claiming £50 legal representative's costs, even though they have no legal representative. 7. The Particulars of Claim is denied in its entirety. It is denied that the Claimant is entitled to the relief claimed or any relief at all.

    • 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 agree MC, can you see the revision of

regulated agreement to exclude the DCA's

from being ''authorised'' third parties to

the agreement, which are included in all

agreements but rarely read by those signing

them and thus permitting the DCA's to Access

credit files even if they are on a phishing trip.

Myself I cannot see it ever improving.

Arrow never did reply to my F&F.

They are cheerfully enough accepting payments direct though.

FOS have ordered Egg to pay up more PPI. How Arrow and Egg now resolve the balance problem will be interesting.

Doubtless I'll end up complaining about Arrow pursuing a disputed debt sum.

Are Arrow under an obligation to keep the loan balance updated each month with the CRAs? Or can they just keep it showing as e.g. £6,000 on 1 July 2011 until the default / account drops off my credit files?

Ooh ooh I know this one!

 

Yes, the information shown on your CRA file must be correct and factual. That has always been the case, but I think new EU Credit Directive (sorry can't recall the exact name) has clarified who's responsible for keeping your CRA details up to date, which is the assignee (Arrow).

 

I had 1st Crud remove information on Equifax because it was not correct, out of date, and well passed its six year lifespan. Equifax and 1st Crud just complied with my request to have it removed.

 

HTH

Excellent. Mine will be going soon, along with a little suprise for the OC Egg.

 

I take the view that while they are being nice to me I shall not rock the boat, but when they start to play silly buggers then I will do likewise. I have in the last few days DSAR'd Egg with a view to starting a charges claim. The original loan was split use (part used to pay an Egg credit card) and there was defo PPI. Back in 2001 when I applied on-line for the loan it was followed immediately with a telephone call regarding why I had not selected the PPI option, I told them because I didn't want it. I then asked the lady if it was a requirement of the loan i.e. will I only get the loan if I accept PPI, to which she responded 'YES'. So I think I have enough to put a big fat spanner in thier works.

 

Why they won't just let sleeping dogs lie, I'll never know. They have to turn the thumb screws even though they have been getting the payments as agreed. Greed I suppose!

 

BTW: I have responded to your PM as requested.

 

All the best with your complaints.

Greed is their god.

 

I suggest you claim for mis-sold PPI, claim back the charges and trot this all off to the FOS for some compo.

 

My "Egg Top Up Loan" (their terminology) was a consolidation of an Egg card an older Egg loan. Throw in some single premium PPI and monthly PPI, capitalise that onto the Top Up Loan without the nebefit of the PPI, and then treat the customer with contempt. Egg passed me on to CapQuest who terrorised me for years until I came across this forum. From that point on I fought back. It will be interesting to know what Egg will do with the FOS approach, if they will appeal to an ombudsman or not.

 

Either way I'll fight them to the biter end ;-)

Update: Arrow have finally responded, apologising for not replying sooner due to "adminstrative oversight."

 

They have said that they are in contact with Egg.

 

They go on to say that they cannot consider a f&f while the account is in dispute and further state that all payments and future f&fs must be sent to their DCA, Wescot.

 

With regard to Wescot, I have already told Arrow that they should not be referring collection to a DCA on a prior disputed debt. I believe I am correct in this (OFT Guidance). Moreover, I have complained to Wescot telling them that they shouldn't be collecting on a prior disputed debt and that was more than 8 weeks ago and I haven't heard from them since.

 

Hitherto Arrow have been cashing my cheques.

Hi mate,

 

sounds like you are getting the run around. If Wetcloths 8 weeks is up with no response then I reckon that has to be a FOS job, do you have proof of delivery for your complaint?

 

OFT Guidance (must not say reg's as I had my wristies slapped today by a certain DCA for mistakinly saying regs instead of guidlines) I'm a bit out of touch with as it seems there have been some updates recently, certainly in terms of Unenforceable's in any case. Need more swatting time I think.

No, but you see it was in dispute before they bought it. I simultaneously wrote to Arrow and Wescot pointing this out. In Wescot's case I formally complained. In Arrow's case I have not complained, just pointed out the existence of a prior dispute.........

I am not being pedantic but was

there at any time a final response,

I lost a case last week on FR and

sale and assignment of a debt in

''dispute'' because of a missed

last line in normal type face

''This is our final response.''

after this has been sent they

will sell assign or issue CC claims.

Point taken, for sure. No, no FR from Egg as it was still with the FOS when they assigned it; amazing but true. No FR from Arrow (obviously, as I haven't formally complained to them yet) and no FR from Wescot.

the whole fecking saga hasbeen odd from start to finish. that said, egg treat customers with good credit in an appalling fashion as well so I shouldn't be surprised.
