    • Not at all.  The onus is on them to ensure that their invoice respects the provisions of Schedule 4 of the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012 to establish keeper liability.  Which it can't as the area is covered by bye-laws. Spot on. Irrelevant as to whether you entered into a contract with VCS to pay them £100 if you didn't obey what was written on their silly signs. Who cares?  What about their ridiculous generic Particulars of Claim where they deliberately mix up driver and keeper. And where do they mention this?  You haven't shown us anything. Of course you have to prepare a Witness Statement and you'd better get on with it. This is the problem here - you've disappeared for months & months, haven't kept us updated and presumably haven't read other VCS threads.  That needs to change - now. Otherwise you will lose - simple as that. For a start - please upload the court order which fixes the hearing date plus plus where "VCS mentioned my initial defence was generic and clearly copied from the internet".  We're not mind readers.

    • Hi,  It has been a long time but I have had confirmation claim will proceed to hearing in roughly 1 months time.  I was wondering if anyone could advise on defence please.  A few questions I have are: 1) I didn't notify VCS that I was not the driver of the vehicle and the judge may look negatively on this point.  I did not receive any direction in correspondence from VCS  that I should inform them if I was not the driver and that was going to be the foundation for may argument on this point. 2) The vehicle is stopped at a zebra crossing.  Based on the images from VCS for around 10 seconds.  At that time there is someone standing near the zebra crossing and someone else enters my vehicle.  I was going to raise the point that stopping at a zebra crossing when someone is standing near it is to be expected.  I was also going to ask the question how you can have a no stopping zone when there are zebra crossings where the driver is required to stop. 3) The no stopping zone is clearly signposted, however, no drop off or pickup is not clearly signposted with one small sign at the zebra crossing, parallel to the road and on the passengers side.  I was going to challenge that no-drop off or pickup is clearly signposted.  4) VCS mentioned my initial defence was generic and clearly copied from the internet.  It covered 1) Claimant not being in a position to state if the Defendant was the driver at the time.  2) No evidence that claimant's contract with landowner supersedes byelaws & signage isn't legally binding contract. 3) No contractual costs and interest cannot be accrued on speculative charge. I am interested to know if anyone has had success or been unsuccessful with this 'generic' defence. 5) If I should submit an updated defence to the court based on questions 1, 2 & 3.  Or if it is better to only raise these points in court? Thanks.  Any guidance would be appreciated

    • 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.

If you are on benefits theres no need for long letters. get your jsa advisor to write a short letter confirming your benefits. Innclude it in a letter to the creditor that states you are on benefits and they are only getting £1 a month for the forseeable future. They wont like it but theres absolutely nothing at all they can do about it.

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..

Could, would, might. They cant legally do anything to collect debt in this country as they dont have an office here. The most they can do is sell the debt to a DCA, which is pretty much what they do to bad debts.

They have seriously calmed down on the phone calls, although today quick quicd did send a letter through the box and in the window so it was highly visible wrote "1st notice, open immediately, do not ignore". Not very nice as I don't live alone and don't want others knowing about it particularly. Anything I can do about this or is this legit?

Update.

 

Need to know if the information they have sent me is in accordance with the cca.

 

They wrote to me under section 86e if cca that I have to pay them £15 default fee. They go on to write that this is the cost of the letter.

 

They go on to write that under the act they cannot charge interest on the fee for one month but thereafter 25% .

 

Is this true or misrepresentation?

 

They still ignore my payment proposals.

 

And now they are writing under this act I think in a misrepresentative manner. I feel like cca ing them myself.

Dont worry about it. They cant do anything and its a very simple debt to defend in court. if they start offering discounts then you know for sure the debt is bad.

  • 3 weeks later...

A lot has happened the past two weeks. Still being pestered incessantly by these guys, one took money from an account which I did not authorise, they still keep advertising the debt.adding charges

 

On the up side I have started. New job. It is only a four month contract but if I live frugally for those four months I could pay back the original debt amounts or nearly.

 

Can you advise on a letter that basically says that I am willing to pay back these debts over a four month period but only for the original amounts, for them to stop taking money out of my account during this period and to set up payments via a method that doesn,t mean I have to give them my new bank details?

 

Also, is it worth me complaining about their behaviour to the oft, or should I just think I should just pay them back and be done with them?

Did you file a full complaint, get a chargeback from your bank and issue a complaint to the OFT and possibly trading standards? As for paying them back, never try to reduce your essential outgoings to pay off debts. Once they see you are starting to pay big amounts, theyll try and go after more.

Im not at home right now ( working away via a VPN), can you report the amounts you owe, the amounts they claim you owe and the creditors for the debts? I have a few letters on this laptop that i can post depending on the issues.

Hi, I did not submit a complaint as I didn't have all the phone records, but I still may register one in any case.The bank were useless. Basically I knew £100 was going in there, so I phoned them up and said to them can you stop all reoccuring paymets please. They said explicitly that ther weren't any. the money went in at 12pm, at 1pm payday uk took the whole amount. I phoned up the bank first thing and said what was going on there wasn't any reoccuring payments you said. And they replied, from that person's screen it didn't ;look like there were any. but from her view she said that they have been trying to take payments every hour for the past couple of months. Said I could try and get the money back but it wouldn't be worth the bother. as they wouldn't refund it as I owe them the money. I said that's not correct, but she wasn't having it.

I wil look at this tonight and do the calculations. I want an agreement that concretely states that I am willing to pay back all monies owed but not with any excessive charges or interest being applied which they have done. And pay it in a fashion that doesn't involve my bank, and for them to stop trying to take money from me. even though I have switched banks , as my primary bank, I would still like this to stop. And all the letters and calls.

You MUST put any cancellation's in writing to a bank, take 2 copies, and get them both signed, stamped and dated by the bank manager there. This is the only way to guarantee a fast resolution. If you havent, then you could be forced to take the bank to the OFT/FOS/FSA and even court.

Sorry for the delay, it's quite difficult to get exact numbers of what the pdl claim I now owe. These are the details I have.

 

Quick quid total original agreement Inc interest £1350 total they are asking for £1374

Paydayexpress original amount owed in total £790 amount asking for now, not known

Payday uk total original owed £645 total they are asking for now £709.5

 

Monies taken from account.

 

Pay day uk £92.78

Pde £15

 

Now I,m working I don't mind these amounts going towards the totals owed.

 

As previously stated I now need a letter to formalise a repayment plan until such time my finances change, I want to make clear that I will only pay th original amount owed less monies already taken, and I will not give them my new bank details and I wish them to stop adding charges and interest and stop trying to take money from me.

 

I have worked out how much I can pay them and it is qq£200/ month and £100 each for the others. However my work contract is only guaranteed fir 4 months although it is likely to be extended, hence why I want to include these arrangements to be set in stone unless my circumstances change.

 

Can anybody help construct. Letter with he appropriate legal terms etc included please?

 

Your help is greatly appreciated.

Payday Express won't agree straight away so i would make a formal complaint to [email protected] once they start playing up. Just tell them you're paying back what you can afford each month, owing nothing more than original loan and interest, or they can go get stuffed!

 

I recommend using [email protected] for better results with them. Currently in the process of agreeing to settle my debt with them. Only paying back 50% of what i originally owed.
