    • Notice how Kev goes about his scam.  In Kahunaburger's case they left the car park well before the time shown on the ticket they had purchased.  But because Kev added on the time taken to look for a parking spot and queue to pay/try to get an internet signal he still sent them an invoice. So If you had left before the Justpark message, say at 3:55, Kev would still have managed to turn that into a stay of 4:06 and thus an overstay and an invoice. Unfortunately for Kev, judges have ruled against his reasoning.  Have a read of this famous case  http://parking-prankster.blogspot.com/2014/03/waiting-for-space-is-not-parking.html  
    • Its okay - It happens. And this is why DCAs  user every trick in the book to try and make you crack.  Now its time to come back.    Im not sure how to proceed if Im honest if they have issued a Letter Of Claim.  Only as You could complain to Oakbrook and they still proceed with Legal Proceedings, but I dont know if that would help or hinder the legal proceedings if they began down that avenue.  I know a FOS complaint wouldnt stop Legal Action and probably run along side it.  But I guess a judge would view a disputed balance with the original creditor as cause for concern whether the DCA's claim is valid?    A bit of a muddle.     
    • That is superb. To answer your question - Dear Mr Dhaliwal Change the sentence - As our disabilities were ignored and disregarded for the time taken I believe this is discrimination against us ... To - As our disabilities were ignored and disregarded for the time taken I believe this is discrimination against us contrary to the Equality Act 2010. Iceland have always been useless, not only in your case but in others, but I think if they realise they are breaking the law it will encourage them to act. I also think the letter is overlong and you could lose the paragraph - I cannot afford any unfair charges of this kind as I am severely struggling financially. I cannot work and am a carer for my disabled Son who also has a mental and mobility disability. I obviously do not have any disposable income and am in debt with my bills. So its an absolute impossibility for me to pay this incorrect charge - as the main points are made elsewhere.

    • 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 dont need to supply "proof"

 

All you need to do is send them a basic I&e form and sign it as a declaration of truth or fact. if they dont like it then tell them they arw getting £1 a month.

 

Pdls are low priority lenders despite the crap that they might try and tell you.

I would say if your income is less than your outgoings then payday lenders are the last people you should pay, make sure you have enough to pay the important bills like food and rent. They can't do anything apart from threaten you with bailiffs and court - so if you can ignore this then i wouldn't be in any rush to pay the loans at all.

They cant even threaten bailiffs. IF they do, its a breach of OFT guidance and MUST be reported. As for ignoring them, you could do, but its better to write a simple letter that states you cant pay and also provide a basic budget summary and sign it as a declaration of fact.

 

They have no way to continue to harass after this, as you have signed the form in a lawful way. If they do keep harassing, then off to the regulators and trading standards you go.

PayDayUK are a nightmare to deal with. I have 4 PDLs and all but PayDayUK have agreed to my repayment plan, and I owe PayDayUK the least of the four!!!

 

I spoke once initially to them on the phone and the guy tried to be very aggressive with me...bad idea!!! and they have tried to threaten court proceedings .. I've basically told them I'll see them there!!

 

I produced an I and E for all the companies and only PayDayUK had a problem with it, so as far as I'm concerned, they can take it up with a judge .. they are going to end up getting less from me per month than I initially offered!!

 

Main thing, do NOT be intimidated, threaten to report them to OFT if they try the bully boy tactics and keep ringing, and if they threaten you with court, go with it ... they are not a priority debt, remember that!

 

Should I receive any court hearings I will update with the result.

Be very VERY careful as they will agree to a repayment plan by phone just to get your payment details, then a few days later, they will decimate your bank account. We've seen it here hundreds of times. Can you create a new thread and tell us what happened, how you solved your issue, and info about the PDL's you were in debt with?

Hi . After your posts to me last night I had a think. I have switched my wages to go into a new account and set up all my direct debits from the new account so the pay day lenders cant access any of my money. I have also gone onto a debt management plan and provided them with all the pay day lenders details and amounts that I owe.. have I done the right thing?

Yep. Just be warned that some PDL's might say you owe more. They do this because a DMP can only go by what is said. It is up to you to tell them otherwise.

They're called legal loan sharks for a reason. They dont care about you. All they care about is getting as much money back from you as possible. Thats why their interest rates are so high, and you have **** like Oliver Larholt owning the absolute worst of them.

Who is Oliver? how do they get away with it though and how are they legal! now I know why its so hard to get credit from banks etc, its like that for a reason! so we dont end up getting snowed under debt. I learnt the hard way. I am on the plan for 7 months and cant wait till it finishes so I can have my income for myself and my partner! i rang all the pay day companies today aswell and gave them a new work number (a wrong one) so come the end of the month when i default on them they cant call my work

Oliver owns toothfairy/speedcredit and the other companies that supposedly arent attached to each other.

the worst thing is, after me contacting all the pay day lenders yesterday to tell them i cant pay, i get a txt from a couple of them today offering me more money!!!!! what is wrong with these people

 

I would suggest reporting those advertisements to the OFT, send them to the Watchdog as well, while it won't achieve much directly it can't hurt to expose such highly irresponsible lending practices.

It will look bad against them as its a direct violation of OFT guidance which states that debtors should never be encouraged to take out more loans with the creditor when they are having issues paying them back. Rollover fees by certain PDL's are also covered by this clause, especially by the PDL's that class it as a new loan.

I have to disagree with you renegade. If the letter is phrased correctly with we may apply for judgement and if we gain one ofthis could lead to etc etc that is lawful because it is what they COULD do and what could happen. If we are to complain we must get our facts and language as accurate as possible.

I know that feeling, they even use two different numbers, one in Nottingham and one from wherever. Luckily I have a smart phone so downloaded an app which stops the calls, txts are just filed away and the phone just picks up and drops the call, Even better I have an accurate log of how many times they try to contact me
