    • 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.
    • 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.

    • 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.

further to my last

- I received a letter today (addressed solely to me - why??) from DLC

stating the letter I sent to MDB was passed to them.

 

 

They state whilst they are not able to provide a copy of the T&C's I am still "liable for payment of the monies originally borrowed.

 

 

Please note that a request for account documentation is not to prove a properly executed agreement exists

but is to provide customers with information about the account.

 

 

We have provided a copy of the agreement you signed in November 2001 to assist you."

 

They then go on to say statements from Abbey & themselves were provided and show payments over the last 11 years

"so we question why you claim you do not acknowledge the debt".

 

 

They also say regarding a Doorstop Specialist

- "should one be appointed, they would give you reasonable notice of the timing of any intended visit, which is all that is required."

 

They then request that I contact MDB to discuss repayment options available to me

& if I am in financial hardship to have to hand monthly I&E so an apt payment plan can be agreed.

 

I am at a loss what to do.

:-(

If the Ts & Cs are not supplied with a recon agreement then the recon has no merit.

 

Sounds to me that they know they can't enforce this otherwise there wouldbe threats of court action, not a visit from a doorstepping dimwit.

 

Personally I would say you cannot agree to make any payment as the Ts &Cs are unavailable so the debt remains in dispute and liability is denied.

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

What a lot of rubbish.

 

1: They havent provided anything to "assist" you - they have provided (or not) information that you are legally entitled to in order to establish if your rights under the CCA1974 have been denied you.

 

2: They can give you all the notice they want - but unless you agree to a visit, they have no right to turn up on your doorstep. Should they be foolish to do this, then just ask them to remove themselves from your property. Do not let them in for any reason. If they want the bathroom, direct them to the local public facility. If they want to use your phone, direct them to the nearest public phone booth.

 

You were entitled to receive for your CCA request..

 

A copy or truthful reconstruct of the original document

terms and conditions at both inception and default or current and if any variations, then copies of those as well.

Plus a statement of account which shows the balance outstanding and any default charges.

Hi again

- it has been some time since my last post regarding DLC and a lot has changed since then.

We heard nothing from them for months and in the meantime moved counties and forgot about them.

 

 

They have started to contact us again (well, my husband) and

I guess got our info from the electoral roll.

They are asking him to contact them to arrange payment of the outstanding debt.

 

a quick summary so you don't have to go back through this thread:

 

original loan with abbey national, debt cancelled by them in 2008.

DLC (Hillesden) contacted us "on behalf of abbey national" and

said they were taking over the collection of the debt.

 

We had not been told this by AN but believed them and continued to pay them for the next 5 years (until I found the CAG).

 

Before I got wise they used threats on a regular basis and our repayments just kept on going up and up.

 

in 2013 we received a letter from Santander stating the debt was sold to Hillesden in Nov 2007

.

We had no such letter prior to this, and this wasn't mentioned on the debt cancellation document

 

however we were with Payplan for a couple of years so it could've gone straight to them.

 

Payplan claimed they had 'lost' our file some years ago.

 

We have submitted a SAR, CCA request (in 2012), harassment letter etc.

 

No CCA has been provided so far by the DCA.

 

They acknowledge this but state the debt remains owing either way.

 

I am getting really fed up with this lot.

The o/s debt is approx 6K,

they have already had over 5K from us prior to help from this forum.

What do we do next (nothing?)

 

We have moved in the last 2 weeks to a new rental and have yet to register our new address on the electoral roll.

 

Any advice most gratefully received as ever.

 

S x.

 

 

p.s. We tried to get a mortgage recently having paid off all our debts (bar this one)

and having a lump sum from my husband retiring from the forces.

 

 

The DLC debt did not appear on Experian or Noddle and we were cleared for a mortgage

until the lender decided they didn't like my husband's zero hours contract.

 

 

Could this have triggered new interest in us from DLC?

I haven't paid a penny to them for 18 months and for 10 months prior to that only a pound a month.

 

Of course my instinct is to ignore the latest letter but my husband is really worried.

 

 

He never really got involved in our finances when he was in the forces but

now he's opening his own mail he's really shocked by this.

I have tried to placate him but it's not working!! :|

Hiya,

 

It's not just the electoral roll but a number of factors, your Credit Reference Report is updated by both the Bank & Insurers when you notify them of a change of your address.

Applying for/ changing address for phone/broadband (depending on your provider) can also appear on your CRA File.

 

Also, the CRA's offer the DCA's (for a fee) a facility where a marker will be placed on your CRA File and as soon as this is updated, the CRA will notify the DCA.

 

For now, sit tight as you have just moved (let sleeping dogs lie so to speak), when DLC write again at your new address asking for payment then write to them reminding them no CCA, no pay.

 

Please tell your husband never to worry over any DCA, the worry in the end could easily lead to arguments so please sit him down and show him around various threads on this site to put his mind at ease.

NEVER telephone a DCA

If a DCA rings you, refuse to go through the security questions & hang up!

Simple - changing your address does not change anything to do with this debt. So if you decided not to pay for the last 18 months then carry on with the decision.

 

AS Stig states - you need to chat calmly with OH and introduce him to the wonders of CAG. I am sure he will see the light and stop being concerned about this.
