    • 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. The Particulars of Claim is denied in its entirety. It is denied that the Claimant is entitled to the relief claimed or any relief at all.

    • 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.

What reason did they give for it not being SB they are very good at producing screen prints that show a card payment mysteriously appearing.

letter pdf is ok brig.

 

IMHO with the added additional loan, which was obviously taken out without the OP's permission & probably over the phone anyway

 

i'd let 1st crapit play their games,

 

a CCA might head them off at the pass

 

an SAR to citi might be an idea too.

 

PPI from that era will be worth £1000's now in reclaiming.

 

you mention the last payment was april 2005,

is there proof of this tha 1st credit have?

Agree with DX.

 

1) CCA req to 1st Crud

2) SAR to Citi

3) In the SAR request to Citi, also specifically ask about any payments for PPI, as you need this information to pursue a claim.

 

I don't think your letter in Dec 10 resets the SB clock. It clearly says that you are in dispute and that you feel that you don't owe anything. But there is no point in just arguing about that. Make the CCA request and see if they can provide it.

We could do with some help from you.

I'm afraid 1st Credit are right there is a clear admission that the debt subsists although disputed, I could put a letter together later in an attempt to bolw this out,

I can see a few eays to be as twisted in outlook as they are so just let me know if you want the letter.

Meanwhile do exactly what dx has suggested.

As I see it there are 3 approaches to this and agree with the posters above on the first 2.

 

1. CCA 1st Credit. This is unlikely to get you a compliant agreement, as discussed above. Account in dispute argument is then black and white if they fail. Inform them that all recovery activity must cease while the dispute exists.

 

2. SAR Citi. The 2005 payments are of interest here. If they can be shown to be internal (e.g. payment of the balance of the old loan by the new one) then a period of 6 years of no payments by Ed AT ANY TIME means the debt is SB and was when that letter was written.

 

3. Complain to 1st Credit that they are misrepresenting their legal position by saying the letter acknowledged the debt. Your strategy is to exhaust their procedures and elevate the complaint to the FOS. I suspect FOS would view that it didn't - no offer was made to pay, the debt was disputed and it stated that no money was owed.

Just my 2p worth here, 1st credits recent letter states that the last payment was made to the original creditor back in 2005, yet they also claim that a payment was made in 2009. To me that is them giving you prove they lied.

 

The payment in 2005 is genuine I have it shown on a bank statement, the 2009 payment is a lie which I have proved, I have an email from call credits complaints department stating they have never received any from me.

Thanks everyone for the help.

 

Brig, I would like that letter please yes, anything to try and make them go away.

 

Bandit, uncle and dx, I will do as you recommend, cca sar etc. I trust the templates are on here in the library.

 

Bandit, all lett I sent to them since the 2010 letter have been headed that way, shame I didn't look on here first before I shot from the hip. Back then I was under the impression I was dealing with intelligent and reasonable people that would like to try and help me. Instead what I found was that these people are vile pond life so low down the food chain it's amazing they can even go outside in sun light.

 

Thanks again everyone.

They cant prove the 2009 payment. my last letter to them was asking for proof of the payment, they sent a reply saying they had passed my letter to the appropriate department and 1 month later i recevied the letter enclosing my 2010 prose.

 

include a request for proof of this 2009 payment atleast it will give them something else to occupy thier tiny minds.

 

should i head the cca and sar requests with do not acknowledge statement??

Appendix B OFT GUIDANCE ON DEBT COLLECTION

B.7. A relevant acknowledgment will normally be made by performance of the

debtor (or his represenatative). For example by making payments, OR by making an unequivocal written

admission clearly acknowledging that the obligation subsists.

 

Although the letter implies acknowledgment, there is a sense that disputing the validity of the debt is not an

unequivocal admission.

 

I shall get an opinion from one more learned than I about 1300 today the will draft the letter.

they both posted on here as attachements. i'll attach them again in this reply.

 

Letter to the Compliance Manager 1ST Credit.

 

Ref: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

 

 

Dear Sir or Madam,

 

I refer to your letter dated xx xx xxxx in which you atempt to refeute my claim that the alleged debt for £xxxx is statute barred because you received a letter from me dated xx xx xxxx, I do not acknowledge any debt to 1ST Credit as my letter was sent only in regard to a DISPUTE on the alleged debt which had NOT been rectified by the original creditor.

 

I therefore contend that my letter does no constitute an admission of liability as laid down in the OFT Guidance on Debt Collection 2003/2011 Appendix B,

at B7. The Guidance states: A relevant acknowledgment will normally be made by performance of the debtor (or his representative). For example making payments,or by making An unequivocal written admission that the obligation still subsisie.

 

This quite obviously is not the case here.

 

You also allege that a payment was made by me on xx xx xxxxx to a third party namely xxxxxxxxxxxxx, I categorically deny that I made any such payment thence your claim is refuted.

 

1ST Credit must produce irrefutable proof that any such payment was made, as I have no knowledge of the company you claim the payment was allegedly made to.

 

If a cared payment was made you must supply the following details:

1. The name on the face of the card.

2. The name of the card issuer.

3. The 16 digit card number and the 3 digit security code.

4 The expiry date of the card.

5. The date (exact) of the alleged payment.

6.The amount of the alleged payment.

If a cheque payment was made:

1. The name of the bank the cheque was drawn on.

2. The Cheque number and account number shown on the face of the cheque.

3. The name of thr drawer.

4. the date on the face of the cheque

5. The amount allegedly pai.

For all other payment types the details as laid out must be provided.

 

Unless this information is provided I cannot enter into any further correspondence on this matter, having

now researched 1ST Credit quite throughly given the unenviable reputation if find for your company I must

insist on the proofs laid out above.

 

For clarification I have not admitted any liability for the alleged debt and I have not at anytime made any payment

to any other debt collection agency.

 

I expect your reply within 7 days.

 

Send recorded delivery to The Compliance Manager ( marked CONFIDENTIAL).

 

Good Luck.
