    • I have just read the smaller print on their signs. It says that you can pay at the end of your parking session. given that you have ten minutes grace period the 35 seconds could easily have been taken up with walking back to your car, switching on the engine and then driving out. Even in my younger days when I used to regularly exceed speed limits, I doubt I could have done that in 35 seconds even when I  had a TR5.

    • 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.

    • 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 am posting this on behalf of my stepdad. He suffered a stroke whilst at work in August 2002. He has not been able to work since. He knew the staff in the branch reasonably well and they were all aware of what had happened to him.

 

On the 13th September 2004 he was given a loan of £8,000.

The rate is 12.9%

The term is 84 months.

The monthly payment is £183.92 per month

The actual amount that goes towards the loan is £142.24.

This leaves £41.68 per month paying Payment Protection Insurance.

 

If the loan is left to run on until 2011 without overpayments he will have paid (84 x 183.92) £15, 449.28 including payment protection, without payment protection it would cost £11,948.16. I feel that the cost of £3,501.12 for insurance is ludicrous. He has paid £1,000.32 in the past two years.

 

The interest on the loan is front loaded and an early settlement is simply the loan amount + total interest – remaining payment protection insurance payments.

 

His income is £722 per month. The loan payments are soaking up 25% of his income. This leaves £539. Once the bills are out of the way it leaves £135 for food and miscellaneous expenses (less than £34 a week).

 

The reason is I gave the above information is to give an idea of how much the loan is costing in proportion to the other outgoings.

 

My step dad would like to cancel Payment Protection Insurance (freeing up the £41.68 per month). The loan was taken out when he was receiving disability living allowance and incapacity benefit (he still receives these to this day). He does not receive a salary from his employers or any other state benefit.

I stated earlier he has not worked since August 02 (two years before the loan was taken out). The branch member who sold the loan was well aware of this). She also knew what his income level was and that my step dad's employers had promised him his job back if he recovers.

 

Under of the circumstances I believe he has been missold the Payment Protection Insurance because:

 

1. He was not working when loan was taken out

 

2. If he became unemployed it would be either due to redundancy or retirement under medical grounds and both would provide enough income to cover the loan payments (both scenarios will provide a higher income).

 

3. He has been promised his old job back if he recovers which provides a much higher income and he would be able to maintain loan payments.

 

I found a template on this site re: cancelling Payment Protection Insurance and asking for a refund, I customised it and sent it to the Colmore Row address in Birmingham.

 

We received a response a month later stating that they can not cancel Payment Protection Insurance as the terms were explained when the loan was taken out i.e. It needs to be before 30 days had passed etc. They also stated they could not refund existing Payment Protection Insurance payments.

 

Is there anything more I can do to help my stepdad?

I don't think I can be of any use as I have never encountered PPI Insurance. But if you haven't seen it then it would probably be worth checking out Reid v Lloyds 2 - PPI Insurance ***SETTLED IN FULL***. It may have some useful information for you and your stepdad.

 

Good luck. Lucid :)

Hi,

 

I'm struggling with reclaiming two massive PPI payments and I too have had the same response as you. I have argued the case from several angles (including attacking the sales target culture which exists in the Bank) over the last six months but they have not moved. I have now had their Final Response and they are not going to discuss it further. Looking at the material on the FSA and Ombudsman's sites I think a claim for repayment might have some success via that route. I know many people have a jaded view of the FSO but if they do reject a claim it still leaves the court route open. The problem is that unlike the unlawful charges with an established path for claiming refunds the issue of of PPI via the CC is a relatively untried procedure. I'm trying to get organised for this but it looks like the FSO might be the way to go first. I'll keep you informed as I go as it may help you to decide what to do - I'm determined to get my money back! Don't give up - lets get em.

I received a response today... no luck whatsoever..

 

Dear Mr Complete Novice

 

Thank you for your letter dated 25th September 2006, I have tried contacting you by telephone to discuss your concerns further, but we do not hold a current telephone number for you.

 

Your letter advises that you have been mis-sold your Loan Protection Insurance policy.

 

On the 6th July 2006 we received your concerns via our Customer Care Department in Birmingham, I then wrote to you on the 19th July 2006 with my findings.

 

I have enclosed a copy of this letter for your perusal, however, in the meantime if you have any further queries or concerns please do not hesitate to contact me on 0845 300 5599 (option 3),

 

Original Letter. This is the result of a phonecall three months ago.

 

Dear Mr Complete Novice

Thank you for contacting us about your Loan Protection Insurance policy.

I have tried calling you today but the number we have is unobtainable. I understand that you are unhappy that Loan Protection has been added to your Joan.

 

Whilst I empathise with the position that you are in, I am unable to offer a refund of your Loan Protection Insurance premiums.

 

Upon taking out your loan, as well as signing your Consumer Credit Agreement, you also signed an Optional Loan Protection Acknowledgement of Purchase form.

 

This you have signed accepting that you have received information relating to the 30 day cooling off period. You have also received information relating to the cost, cover, terms and conditions and exclusions of the Optional Loan Protection policy.

You also received your Loan Agreement and the Loan Protection policy documents contained within the policy document wallet.

 

I have also received information from the seller of your Loan Protection Insurance, as she recalls that when you took out your Loan Protection Insurance all exclusions as well as the benefits were discussed. She recalls that you were fully aware of all aspects of the Loan Protection and its exclusions.

 

I do appreciate that this news will be a disappointment to you but trust that you understand why the decision was made and that I have adequately explained the reasons for this decision.

 

However should you be dissatisfied with my response you do have the option of escalating matters within Lloyds TSB General Insurance. Should you wish to do this, please either write to the Customer Care Manager at the above address, providing your reasons for being unhappy and any further evidence you have, or alternatively Jet me know and I shall relay this information for you.

 

If for any reason, you were to remain dissatisfied with our final response you may have the right to refer your complaint to the Financial Ombudsman Service and we will tell you how to contact them. If we do not hear from you by l4h September 2006, your file will be closed.

 

yours sincerely

****

 

Customer Care - Lloyds TSB Insurance

 

Is there anywhere I can go from here or is this the end of the line?

I pressume then that the Advisor was aware that you were not working and actually signed off on the sick?

 

If this is the case surely you should be claiming Now on the insurance ..

hi complete novice , if you are paying loan protection ask for a claim form .

if your Dad gets a doctors not and sends a copy in he can claim but cannot get it back dated more than a month . (i said i didnt know if i could claim acted dum)i have had to claim and that was what i was informed . check to see if there are any exclusions on the original loan agreement as your father took the loan out while he was on the sick .

and they usually exclude the illness if not make a claim . if he can get a note saying he cannot work for 12 months then they pay off the loan completly.most Doctors only give a maximum of 6 months at a time

 

if this helps great if not sorry

good luck Dave

That could well help Dave :)

 

We've already had a consultant say that he recommended retirement and my stepdad is in no state to work (that's my opinion) the loan may well paid off in the near future then ;) He has a medical on friday and I can speak to the Doctor involved then.

Hi complete novice,

dont for get any think with payment protection could be claimed this includes

credit cards, morgages even car finance

the forms are usualy straight forwades

make sure yo copy any sick notes as most companys will except these instead of getting the doctors to fill them all out (doctors can charge £20- £30 each)

if your stepdad gets DLA he may be able to get a car and an allowance for assistance .

ps good luck and please excuse my spelling

  • 4 months later...

Hi again,

 

Digging up this old post.. we wrote to Lloyds requesting a refund of the insurance as it was missold. They declined the request. Yesterday my stepdad plucked it up the courage to make a claim.. to be told he can't make the claim because he was ill when it was taken out.

 

Who should I contact next to try and get a refund ? Ombudsman? CAB? Watchdog?
