    • 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.....................................

    • 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.

Just received a letter from a DCA claiming ownership of an alleged debt and also in the same letter is another letter from the original creditor claiming to have sold the debt to the DCA, however the letter has obviously been produced at the same place as it has markings from the printer or computer that match identically with the DCA.

 

Also on the DCA letter it states the amount owing etc but next to it it states annual interest 12%. Now forgive me if i'm wrong is that them intending to charge interest on the amount owing?

The letters are proper notices of assignment,

as to the interest it could be but would depend

what the original contract allows for.

Who is the DCA and what is the debt.

Any Letters I Draft are N0T approved by CAG and no personal liability is accepted.

But Cabot are pussycats by comparison.

 

Cabot are allowed to send an NOA on behalf of the OC, as Brig says. Was this a debt covered by the CCA, ie. is it a credit account? Did you sign anything, or sign up online?

Not signed anything, although iirc a couple of years back i recieved a CCA signed by them as proof of debt validity. I'm sure i got the account online though a few years prior.

 

Was a credit account with a limit etc , each month a balance is worked out and a figure payable produced.

Hi, I have several debts that I owe,

 

one of which is being chased by cabot financial.

 

Cabot have now instructed solicitors to chase me up via a Bankruptcy warning letter

 

giving me 14 days or they will issue a bankruptcy petition against me.

 

the debt is £2500,

 

can they do that?.

 

I thought I would go to County Court?

 

Any advice or help please?

No idea if its on my file I gave up years ago bothering with that.

 

Debt is originally JDwilliams.

It is around £2500.

 

Debt being chased by Cabot who have handed it to WrightHassall solicitors.

 

Solicitors sent me a letter saying they have been instructed by their clients to review my case

with a view to serving me with a bankruptcy petition and obtaining a bankruptcy order.

 

The letter ends with I have 14 days to contact or they will issue a Statutory Demand.

 

Taken me back a bit to be honest,

 

I am tackling my debts but one or two at a time,

 

mostly when at court so its fixed in stone.

 

Bit worried I could lose everything now :-(

well you are no stranger to court nor being fleeced by DCA's.

 

send JDW an SAR

 

a CCA request to WHS

 

most cat debts are 90% PENALTY charges anyway.

 

bet the letter does not say WILL anywhere.

Please remember that IF they do issue a SD it does not just magically vanish . You have to put work in to get it set aside.

 

The CCA request is very important IMO as it will give you something to fight any SD with (hopefully)

 

When was the account opened and can you remember if it was done on the phone, online , or by filling a form out

Any opinion I give is from personal experience .

I know . Can you remember when it was opened ?

 

If it is genuine then they will probably take a repayment plan and there will probably be a lot of charges you can reclaim back ( Dx is pretty good at that) .

 

If it was taken out before 2005 they will need an actually signature

Any opinion I give is from personal experience .

Ok

Well I think the CCA request and the SAR are important.

If you have a lump sum available you may want to consider a full and final offer, if not maybe a payment arrangement.

A lot depends on your circumstances, do you have assets and/or a half decent income. I have neither so would happily say make me BR but it is quite serious as you say

 

 

When was the last payment and default?

 

DX is the man for reclaiming I believe

Any opinion I give is from personal experience .

I have a reasonable income.

 

not much spare cash but just beginning to have a little spare each month.

 

I am happy to pay back the debt but not at the ridiculous levels they usually demand but what I feel is affordable.

 

No lump sum available.

 

I have been in debt for a number of years and have been to court etc.

 

still settling debts and still have several outstanding.

 

Never been threatened with bankruptcy before though.

Ok Well it's hard to advise but as they probably paid a pittance for the debt try to negotiate a low payment.

 

This is quite useful at working out what is allowed https://nedcab.cabmoney.org.uk/quickfs.asp.

 

All i can say is that for example, my real food bill is much less than suggested but when I am working it out of course it is near the limit,

 

I really do suggest looking at reclaiming fees etc

Any opinion I give is from personal experience .

Thanks Fletch.

 

I have had a look and if it is the debt I believe it is (although no details link to the original debt like account numbers etc) ,

 

when Cabot first took it on it was only for £2083

but now their solicitors are claiming £2500 something.

 

The Cabot letter originally stated a 12% interest,

 

can DCA claim interest too?.

 

If I CCA the soliciotrs or Cabot and SAR the original creditor maybe, will that hold up the threat of them starting bankruptcy stuff?.
