    • worthy to not forget Just to let you know this bunch Kensington have been fined £1.225m by the financial regulator for treating borrowers who were in arrears unfairly. Claim those charges back plus the interest and tell them not to add any more to the account. There are a few news stories here you can get the info for a letter to send to them. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/8615870.stm  
    • Hi All. I went to visit a family friend in Rochdale on a new housing estate opposite a old row of houses. The location is Royle Road, Postcode OL11 3PE. I was originally parked in parking bays outside the old houses, then moved the car, when I noticed my tyre was flat, so parked on what looked like double yellows to use his air pump to check and inflate the tyres before we left the house.   In the time i went inside to sort the pump and power supply i got a PCN.  The tyre then got changed (has a puncture) and we left. PCN Number:         RE######## Date:             04/05/2024 Time:             20:36 Observation:         20:34 to 20:36 Reported location:     Royle Park Road Reason:        Parked in a restricted street during prescribed hours (Code: 01) I believe this PCN is not correct and has grounds to appeal: 1. My friend who moved into the property around 6 months ago, swears that even though it has old double yellows marked, they are not current or council marked.   He said the property development company had said they had marked them for ease of access during development. 2. The road i was parked on was Royle Road.  The PCN was issued for Royle Park Road, which is about 400 yards up the road. 3. There are no sign posts or marking showing parking  restriction hours in the entire area (there maybe on Royle park Road). I have attached a map of the Location where i parked as a red dot. I have 2 questions: a.  Is there a way to check where double yellow lines are marked on some register to check if they are current? b. Can my grounds of appeal simply be, wrong location, wrong offence? Thanks in advance. Map_20240505.pdf
    • you made it very confusing, though i doubt any of it was ever read by the delivery franchise for DPD. your saving grace might well be you didn't select your own address (though if you are all the same postcode..??) and neither mentioned a safe space other than another neighbour. but with the actual delivery address on the parcel, it appears the driver had a choice of 3 addresses, all under the same post code with differing house numbers. so chose the label one but left it on your doorstep. play it carefully and along with the photo and the retailers requirement you should be ok.   dx  
    • Are Resident car parks subject to Planning permission under Town and Country Planning {control of Advertisements ] Regulations? SCHEDULE 1CLASSES OF ADVERTISEMENT TO WHICH PARTS 2 AND 3 DO NOT APPLY Class A "1.  The advertisement is not readily visible from outside the enclosed land or from any place to which the public have a right of access." As a private residential site does the public have a right of access? This particular Act has so many caveats that even many Councils do not understand it and that includes me. Though I do understand it better than many council planning departments.

    • 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.

You hit the nail on the head.

 

Once you are sure its past its SB date, you can sort out the payment they made - as its their responsibility to show it was you.

 

Have you had any very reduced offers for settlement at all?

Please disreagard the post above!!

You must place a notice of dispute

on the credit file and check theb3 CRAs

Equifax, Experian,and Call Credit to see

if the same data is held.

You then must make a formal complaint

to the Data Controller at AK with reference to

this entry.

And would making waves in a position where a potentially dubious payment may have already been made not just leave an open goal to start the ball rolling with 15 weeks to go?

Taking the action you suggest would be making an admission of liability!!!!!!!!!!

Care is needed in seeking to use SB as a defence!

 

One must be aware that ''making waves'' is potentily playnig

in to the hands of the creditor/DCA.

So little/no action - which the OP presumably has been doing close to for 69 months - can suddenly be taken as an admission of liability?

 

Can you explain it a bit more to me please?

It is simple DCAs looking to collect potentially SB debt are going to encourage contact that any debtor

not experienced may be persuaded to make a staement that maybe construde as an adnission of liability.

Are you in Scotland or England/Wales?

 

SB is 5 years in Scotland with cancellation of the debt as if it never existed (with the exception of remaining on your record for another year) and in England/Wales its 6 years, but the debt remains there although can no longer be pursued in court.

 

Was there any charges or PPI on it at any stage?

What are the time limits to question it?

None, the OP is in the West Midlands fyi.

I offered advice for both mainland jurisdictions, as I cannot see his IP.

 

It might be an idea to swap the location for the jurisdiction, given there is now an SB date, payment, and rough location to narrow identification.

hi thanks to all the advice given, have checked experian it says monthly payment 12/10 £0 02/11 £5 default date 05/09/06.

 

now havent received letters for this debt for ages.

Do i wait till sb'd and then see if drops of file or start making a fuss now.

i have checked noddle and it says £5 payment made but not date.

Equifax i have given up trying to register as i have ended up calling a call centre and not getting nowhere.

 

the debt is for £3307 with activ Kapital but default balance is £2423

 

i hope this info makes things clearer

 

Thanks in advance

what is best way to get such proof without it affecting the status of my sb .

looking at this debt now i think it relates to an overdraft on a crurent account that was a joint hsbc account with my late wife.

Ok.

Letter to the compliance manager,

 

Dear Curr or Madman (joke)!!

Ref:xxxxxxxx

I refer to your correspondence regarding the alleged debt for £xxxxx you claim is

owed by me.

 

You claim that a payment was made to the account on XXXXXXX in the amount of £5.00,

so far you have failed to prove that any such payment was made by me, therefore you

must provide irrefutable proof that any alleged payment was made by ME exact details

of the method of payment, the details in full of any alleged card payment, the card issuers

name, the name on the card,the 16 digit card number, the 3 digit security code, and the

expiry date of the card, all this data would have been gathered at the time any alleged

payment was made.

 

You will also provide the data regarding any cheque payment, bank transfer or

postal order payment.

 

Failing to provide this information regarding any alleged payment will lead to my

making complaints to the regulatory authorities regardindg a susupicious alleged

payment.

 

I will allow 7 working days for your explicit compliance with these instructions.

 

Furthermore I do not acknowledge any debt to you or any associated company.

brigadier i think our wires are crossed.

 

I HAVE NOT received any letter from aktiv kapital but as i was checking my cra files i noticed the phantom £5 payment.

 

my dilemma, do i ignore and see if drops off file or do i kick up fuss now.

i know there are alot of charges on here but i dont want to write to them if it is going to start a barrage of letters.

 

i have been receiving letters from the other dca's and have ignored as they are within weeks of being sb'd. they have been offering big discounts but am assuming they are hoping to get a sniff before sb'd

 

thanks in advance
