    • 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 2024-01-15 DBCLegal SAR.pdf
    • 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

    • 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.

So I have had my battles with these companies, and with one still bugging me for £70....

 

I set out on a mission to annoy, disrupt and make their lives a misery.

 

The first company i had chosen to have a battle with, i have imo won.

 

You can see the results nect wednesday on www.asa.org.uk

 

These are some wee minor battles, but will then show up in internet searches if people starting googling them.

 

i will supply the link next week.

 

I have stayed away from PDL's since i repaid them, but im still keen on battling with them.

ihateyes,

 

Intriguing post!!! Well done on the battle, keep up the good work.

 

To follow up, it looks like there is some form of backlash commencing against PDL's and their advertising, this was reported in the Guardian earlier today -

Football fans seek removal of Wonga ads from club websites. A group of fans ?(supporting some 20 clubs) led by Northampton Town supporter Bob Ward and his grandson Dan are asking their clubs to seek sources of advertising revenue other than from Wonga.com

Its under embargo til Wednesday.

 

What we need to remember is most webs ads are driven by what people are viewing on the net. Especially if you use Google Chrome.

The first battle is with Moby Loan

 

www.mobyloan.com

 

notice the testimonials? but there is no application process???

 

ASA has now ruled........ http://www.asa.org.uk/ASA-action/Adjudications/2012/4/Financial-Text-(FT)-Ltd/SHP_ADJ_180228.aspx

 

The site has since been updated since i made this complaint last year. It is now under copyright 2012. there was a number in the T&C's.... i rang but with fluffed off.

 

I have other complaints with various sources, like QuickQuid

, who have no business address in the UK, but are trading against their consimer license which is due to be renewed in July.

 

We must now show who this company trades, and the disregard for their licence.

Yes, QQ are operated outside of the EU, so they claim our rules do not apply to them. They seem not to have proper staff but staff on commission ringing from home... plus you cannot email them directly.

 

Another company claims only to answer emails in 28 DAYS..... which is madness, how are they meant to operate like that?

 

Any campaigns to get this murky market cleaned up is good news but I can't endorse any campaigns unless I know the full story.

I'd be surprised if we see QQ after july. They seem to be selling all their overdue loans fast and chasing after the smaller ones. Hence the very fast threats of court action and the lack of any kind of attempts at settlement beforehand.

Any advice i give is my own and is based solely on personal experience. If in any doubt about a situation , please contact a certified legal representative or debt counsellor..

I would check that they are not going to resurface as another company in this rapidly moving market.

 

As I've said before, each separate trading name MUST have a specific licence for Payday Loans, that would stop the multiple companies setting up using a group licence.

 

Scrap the group licence for everyone, including the solicitors for rent brigade (we know who you are, Uncle Bryan, Nelson Guest, et al...) and that too would help clear up the DCA industry

I remember Bryan Carter. had some "interesting" times with them a few years ago. It's amazing how clueless they actually are. Also Robinson Way :)

I had great fun with Robbers Way, they were writing to me over a four month period about a debt which was not mine, had even been to court and been thrown out, I noticed however on their letters the same person had gone from Doorstep Collections Manager to Senior Litigitaion Manager via a couple of other job titles, so I congratulated him on his promotion....

 

These companies and their so called 'industry' are ripe for cleaning up, but very few people want them closed down as they provide essential jobs in a depressed economic climate... that is probably the only prime factor keeping them going they way they are.

my campaign is too make this companies take note. i know im a one man band, but these companies made my life a misery. i will do my best to reverse roles.

 

Now i know moby loan wasnt a great one, but its one nonetheless. they ignored the letters from ASA. but its a start.

 

We know the bulk of these companies operate from outside the UK. they will have a virtual office, so feel invincible in whatever they do ie riad bank accounts!? what is the police/OFT/trading standards goign to do? raid a virtual office? of course not! there is nothing there bar mail

Plus the fact that the previous owner of one of the major PDL's also was one of the biggest donaters to the Conservative party ;)

Nicely done "ihateyes", good work with the ASA, keep it up and keep us informed. Also, if there's any additional support you need, bang it on here.
