    • Northmonk forget what I said about your Notice to Hirer being the best I have seen . Though it  still may be  it is not good enough to comply with PoFA. Before looking at the NTH, we can look at the original Notice to Keeper. That is not compliant. First the period of parking as sated on their PCN is not actually the period of parking but a misstatement  since it is only the arrival and departure times of your vehicle. The parking period  is exactly that -ie the time youwere actually parked in a parking spot.  If you have to drive around to find a place to park the act of driving means that you couldn't have been parked at the same time. Likewise when you left the parking place and drove to the exit that could not be describes as parking either. So the first fail is  failing to specify the parking period. Section9 [2][a] In S9[2][f] the Act states  (ii)the creditor does not know both the name of the driver and a current address for service for the driver, the creditor will (if all the applicable conditions under this Schedule are met) have the right to recover from the keeper so much of that amount as remains unpaid; Your PCN fails to mention the words in parentheses despite Section 9 [2]starting by saying "The notice must—..." As the Notice to Keeper fails to comply with the Act,  it follows that the Notice to Hirer cannot be pursued as they couldn't get the NTH compliant. Even if the the NTH was adjudged  as not  being affected by the non compliance of the NTK, the Notice to Hirer is itself not compliant with the Act. Once again the PCN fails to get the parking period correct. That alone is enough to have the claim dismissed as the PCN fails to comply with PoFA. Second S14 [5] states " (5)The notice to Hirer must— (a)inform the hirer that by virtue of this paragraph any unpaid parking charges (being parking charges specified in the notice to keeper) may be recovered from the hirer; ON their NTH , NPE claim "The driver of the above vehicle is liable ........" when the driver is not liable at all, only the hirer is liable. The driver and the hirer may be different people, but with a NTH, only the hirer is liable so to demand the driver pay the charge  fails to comply with PoFA and so the NPE claim must fail. I seem to remember that you have confirmed you received a copy of the original PCN sent to  the Hire company plus copies of the contract you have with the Hire company and the agreement that you are responsible for breaches of the Law etc. If not then you can add those fails too.

    • I understand what you mean. But consider that part of the problem, and the frustration of those trying to help, is the way that questions are asked without context and without straight facts. A lot of effort was wasted discussing as a consumer issue before it was mentioned that the property was BTL. I don't think we have your history with this property. Were you the freehold owner prior to this split? Did you buy the leasehold of one half? From a family member? How was that funded (earlier loan?). How long ago was it split? Have either of the leasehold halves changed hands since? I'm wondering if the split and the leashold/freehold arrangements were set up in a way that was OK when everyone was everyone was connected. But a way that makes the leasehold virtually unsaleable to an unrelated party.

    • 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 all

 

Have you taken a Payday loan with either Paycheckcredit or Speedcredit, paid it back and it showed on your statement as either Tooth fairy Finance OR CIM Technologies.

 

If so, tell the OFT. Both these names are NOT on Toothfairies or CIM Techs licence

An update. If any of you are thinking of getting PDL with Paycheckcredit, Speedcredit or Popcredit, think again. Their licence looks likely to go the way of Yes Loans.

 

MCO Capital (the registered name) have been letting CIM Technologies (the holding group of ToothFairy) use the names 'Paycheckcredit' and 'Speedcredit' which is against their licence requirements.

And against the sanctions the OFT imposed last time on Toothfairy and CIM Technologies.

 

Both lots should now be closed and all their court cases pulled for further investigation.

 

Yes, I checked the OFT before posting and the requirements are still in place for both Toothfairy and CIM

It means you MUST go to the OFT and Trading Standards and inform them that Toothfairy are again breaking the sanctions imposed on them by the OFT and trading in different names and not declaring they are Toothfairy.

 

The loan then may be (and I only say may be because a judge might think otherwise), unenforceable via court.

This is extremely misleading AND improper prqactice.

As you know, at the bottom of paycheckcredits page is a statement saying they are part of MCO Capital yet in the terms page, they state they are part of CIM Tech. Which is right? Either way, they are in breach of their CC Licence from the OFT

 

As the name is not on CIM Techs Licence, I would assume they are trading unlawfully and as such (long shot here) they may not be able to call in the loan. I wouldn't assume that to be fact BTW

We seem to be in agreement on that point.

 

I believe if the OFT took the line that each individual trading name (which exists as a separate legal company) needs its own individual licence, cannot trade on the back of another companies licence and needs the licence specific to its own activities, ie if it is debt collecting then it needs a debt collecting licence, if it is loan selling then a loan licence.

 

I sometimes see these companies registered with a licence which states OTHER, this should NOT be allowed for payday loan companies and their 'friends'.

Ok thanks for that. I am actually receiving emails from paycheckcredit, toothfairy and NDR daily and they all come at exactly the same time every day and say exactly the same word for word! Letters to OFT and TS are going to be written and sent asap!

Guys i took a pdl with toothfairy in January, couldn't pay the whole figure back by date required and was told by ndr (who were the office chasing me for payment) that the only solution is to make a payment plan for 11 months so when i complete this, the payback is huge! They debit my account with a few different names, although will need to check all of them . Am wondering, as the rate to pay back is immense, is it likely that this company is playing foul and i should fight the payments i have to make due to them already being investigated?

Thanks in advance

Yes, you should theoretically only repay the contracted amount, not what they like you to think you owe. Once this is repaid then get a new bank account to stop them taking funds.

 

Complain to the OFT about them taking money in different names, CIM Technologies who is their parent company were told off about this, if you don't complain you are wasting your time posting on here.

With reference to these vermin calling themselves various names.This week I have had an email from Speed Credit,NDR and Marshall H.They all want to seem to have a bite of the cake.They seem to have an adverse disliking to answering emails,so I will try again over the weekend.They are still trying to get money from my account,but conveniently for me,the bank as stopped my card.

This is the latest from Marshall H.

They do not demand anything from me,as if they had read my previous emails,I have told them that the matter is resolved,I do not owe them anything.I do not know why they are waiting,I am reading and willing to meet them in court.Then the court can judge who is right or wrong,they can also explain the following.

How have they arrived at the figure they are quoting.

Why are the 3 of them wanting the money,also several amounts in the same week.

Why is Speed Credit using the same bank account as CIM Technologies.

Is it usual business practice to use texts and emails as a medium for intimidation and harassment.

That is just for starters.

 

Regards,John.

Good, these email threats are a very nasty form of intimidation and need to be stopped.

 

I hope there is a positive outcome on this from the OFT and this unholy trinity of companies are stopped in their tracks and made to repay the customers they have 'overpaid' themselves.

Hopefully renegadeimp, you will be wrong, they have already had a sanction so now should have their licence scrapped and all people connected with the management of this company barred from being directors/officers of other similar companies.

I hope so too sillygirl. Companies like these, that flout the law without any regard to the effects it has on anyone else need bringing to task.

 

However, the PDL's could easily try and hide their tracks. It wouldnt surprise me at all if the companies involved were indeed ran by the exact same people, but on the OFT registration they made up fictitious names. In the PDL/DCA industry that wouldnt surprise me one bit.

will def complain to the oft but will get all my facts and figures straight first. Sorry to sound stupid, is the contract payment the original amount borrowed only or that and reasonable interest charges? Can't they state it has cost them money transferring to bn agent to arrange a payment plan and recover?

The contracted amount is the amount borrowed plus the interest stated in the contract.

 

They CANNOT charge for a file transfer to an agent to arrange a payment plan, nor can they charge for the payment plan to be set up.

 

Go to the OFT website and read the OFT Guidelines on Debt Collecting before you complain, then list each breach they have done in your complaint

 

http://www.oft.gov.uk for the OFT, http://www.tradingstandards.gov.uk for Trading Standards

 

Remind the OFT they have already sanctioned Toothfairy and their parent company CIM Technologies.

We really need to get other people who have had loans from this company to submit a complaint. I mean, theyve already had a round of sanctions and theyve learned nothing from them.

Thats why this site exists gaz. For that exact reason.

 

As youve found out, theres a very murky underbelly to the whole "industry". Especially as we've now uncovered the true nature of one of the main PDL's, and indeed a DCA that supposedly had nothing at all in common with them.

im currently in argument with speedcredit but to let you know all info is being fed to the oft. i will be including this tranding name information in my complaint. They have chosen not to accept a repayment plan over a 2 month period and will be adding 350 in charges should prove interesting. concerned my bank account will be emptied but from website states they do not debit accounts and its the acc holders responsibility to make payment. either way its another complaint about these guys. i originally applied via tooth fairy and ended up with a speedcredit loan caused alot of confusion with the interest amount as speed credits is much higher. something else i also find unfair and i emailed them almost immediately about this. ashame im getting no response from there contact details now.

If they do that then you contact the police, explain that you have already told the bank not to pay this bunch (which is why you should put requests to the bank in writing) and ask for a crime number. Give this to the banks fraud squad and also to the OFT and Trading Standards.

 

You should also contact MP Stella Creasy and let her know what is happening as she is pro-active in dealing with these sharks.
