    • next time dont upload 19 single page pdfs use the sites listed on upload to merge them into one multipage pdf.. we aint got all day to download load single page files
    • If you have not kept the original PCN you can always send an SAR to Excel and they have to send you all the info they have on you within a month. failure to do so can lead to you being able to sue them for their failure.......................................nice irony.
    • Thank you and well done  for posting up all those notices it must have have taken you ages.. The entrance sign is very helpful since the headline states                    FREE PARKING FOR CUSTOMERS ONLY in capitals with not time limit mentioned. Underneath and not in capitals they then give the actual times of parking which would not be possible to read when driving into the car park unless you actually stopped and read them. Very unlikely especially arriving at 5.30 pm with possibly other cars behind. On top of that the Notice goes on to say that the terms and conditions are inside the car park so the entrance sign cannot offer a contract it is merely an offer to treat. Inside the car park the signs are mostly too high up and the font size too small to be able to read much of their signs. DCBL have not shown a single sign that can be read on their SAR. Although as they show photographs which were taken the year after your alleged breach we do not know what the signs were when you were there. For instance the new signs showed the charge was then £100 whereas your PCN was for £85. Who knows, when you were there perhaps the time was for 3 hours. They were asked to produce  planning permission which would have been necessary for the ANPR cameras alone and didn't do so. Nor did they provide a copy of the contract-DCBL  "deeming them disproportionate or not relevant to the substantive issues in the dispute" How arrogant and untruthful is that? The contract and planning permission could be vital to having the claim thrown out. I can find no trace of planning permission for the signs nor the cameras on Tonbridge Council planning portal. and the contract of course is highly relevant since some contracts advise the parking rouges that they cannot take motorists to Court. I understand that Europarks are now running that car park which means that nexus didn't  last long before being thrown out.....................................
    • Hi,   I am not sure if I posted this already here but I don't think I did. I attach a judgement that raises very interesting points IMO. Essentially EVRi did their usual non attendance that we normally see, however the judge (for the first time I've seen in these threads) dismissed the notice and awarded me judgement by default because their notice misses the "confirmation of compliance" paragraph. in and out in 3 minutes (aside from the chat at the end with the judge about his problems with evri) Redacted - evri CPR loss.pdf
    • Just to update this. I did apply to strikeout and they did not attend the hearing. I won by defualt and the hearing lasted 5 minutes (court only allocated 15). The judge simply explained that the only matter he was really considering is if the Defendant could have any oral evidence to defend the claim. However he said he had decided that based on their defence, and their misunderstanding of law, and their non attendence he did not think they had any reasonsable chance so he awarded me SJ + Costs on the claim form + the strikeout fee. Luckily when I sent the defendant the order I woke up the next day to a wire trasnfer for the full sum of the judgement

    • 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 Guys

 

I have had great advice before on this site when dealing with Capquest and now I am experiencing a similar problem with Wescot.

Story is 7-8 years ago I stopted paying my credit commitments and heard nothing for 6-7 years. I had a battle with capquest but other than that the statute barred letter worked for all the other creditors.

Recently Wescot has come out of the woodwork, the last debt I had not heard from. The others contacted me year to year and a half ago. I sent the standard statute barred letter with Without Predjudice, Etc Etc.

I know I have not paid anything for within the six year period.

 

I received a reply from Wescot

___________________________________________________________

Stating that a payment for £20 was paid on 28/11/2005 and therefore the account does not qualify as being statute barred.

The letter then goes on to quote section s29 (5) and (6) Limitation Act 1980 which states that the limitation period can be restarted by an acknowledgement or part payment.

The letter then asks me to complete a claim form which was not enclosed within 14 days of receipt or judgement in default may be entered against me.

 

No proof of payment was enclosed or any other further details

________________________________________________________________

I know I have not made this payment, I never even had a bank account at that time and I never received any letters/ calls from them.

 

What should I do??

Have I restarted the clock by sending the statute barred letter? in 4 days it will be the 6 year mark according to them.

 

What should I write back, I know its best not to write anything before 29/11/2011.

 

I don't fancy having a letter battle like I did with Capquest, is there a final letter I can send and then just ignore them unless they are stupid enough to try to go to the courts.

 

Thanks

I think it is a common tactic by DCAs to Bluff people into believing they have restarted the clock by supposedly acknowledging a debt.

 

I suggest you take four or five days to very carefully consider your position and then resend the statute barred letter along with a notification that you will be reporting the matter to trading standards. A foolish person would rush:wink:

They are beginning to do this a lot lately, they are trying to CONvince people that a payment has been made within the limitation period. The onus is on them to prove when & how a payment was made.

 

They've been kind enough to give you 14 days to respond & by their dubious calculations it will be SB in 4 days in any case. If they continue to pursue complain to Hull Trading Standards. http://www.hullcc.gov.uk/portal/page?_dad=portal&_pageid=221,52380&_schema=PORTAL

My understanding is depending on the T&Cs it may be a couple of months after the last payment date that a debt is deemed to have defaulted. It will at the very least be a month after the last payment date. however, you are clear that you did not make this payment so I would put them to strict proof of this. But wait as long as you can before you write as they may well not contact you again!

The date is the date of the last delinquent payment for

the start of the the six year clock eg., payment made Nov.25th no further

payment made last delinquent Dec, 25th. clock starts.

I understand that in some cases the terms in the contact may determine when the clock starts ticking.

I seem to be posting this up a lot just lately :lol:

 

Many DCAs will argue that limitation accrues from the time when the "default notice" is issued. It does not.

Limitation clock starts ticking from when the payment is due and not paid not when they send a default notice.

 

We see often that CRA entries will date 5 or 6 months ahead of when the payment was missed.

 

People need to be sure that they aren’t being hoodwinked and that the DCA is extending limitation so they can sue when they are not allowed to.

Absolutely the missed payment date starts

the clock as long as there is no further payment

or acknowledgment of a debt, acknowledgment als

would have to have been in writting, telephone call

DO NOT restart the clock, but some chancers will

try to tell you the opposite.
