    • It is an interesting Final Notice. Firstly because there is usually a reminder Notice before the final Notice. Secondly because it contains some of the wording that should be in the original PCN [aka Notice to keeper]. It could be that the necessary wording in the NTK is missing so they put it in the Reminder Notice to cover their error. If they have it hasn't worked. But the only wat we will know if you post up the back page of the Notice to keeper along with the other details asked for on Post 8 .  If they have got it wrong it means that they are unable to transfer the liability to pay the PCN from the driver to the keeper . I take it that you are the keeper and not the hirer? And do you know how long you are supposed to stay in that car park? In the past I have found Sainsbury's pretty good at cancelling PCNs for their customers. Take both PCNs in to the store and point out if you are a regular customer and that the driver spent a lot of money in their store and see if they could please do something with the ticket for you. if the manager can't help, then come back and we will give you their Head office and write to them. It is the easiest and quickest way to get the ticket cancelled. No point in appealing since that would mean they lose the chance to make any money out of you which is their whole reason for running the car park. If you cannot get Sainsbury to cancel then we rely on ECP getting things wrong so that you don't have to pay  on a technicality or technicalities. For example if the PCN does not comply with the Act and the keeper is not then liable it makes it difficult for ECP to win should it go to court as so many people are legally able to drive your car and Courts do not accept that the driver and the keeper are the same person. Which is why we do need to see the questionnaire filled in and the rest of the NTK. Also it would be helpful to get photos of the signs in the car park. Ones that can be read by us, and the sign at the entrance as well as the inside ones especially those that are worded differently. Poor signage is another defence that works well and you will  need a good defence should they decide to go to Court.
    • Thanks for answer ref address/bank. Thought it wise to double-check.   When I reply to them as per post #5, what should my reason for dispute be?   " dispute this debt because..recommended reason as advised from your thread and add the debt purchaser has yet to provide any or all of the required documentation."
    • Alternative is to access the video yourself, upload to YouTube or similar and link back here.  Video will be accessible once you input your details into Wandsworth website: https://parking.wandsworth.gov.uk/pcn  
    • Yeah only £10 so may as well just get it done. When it comes to liaising with the police and bargaining before it hopefully goes to court. How does that happen? Via email? Phone call etc

    • 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.

They are now in default of your CCA request. This means that they cannot enforce the debt (i.e. get a judgement in a defended case in court).

 

They can still chase for payment, report to the credit reference agencies etc.

 

They cannot get a CCJ (as long as you defend a claim) or repossess property on HP.

 

If they now write suggesting court action you should (as Brig advised) report them to the OFT.

 

Write to remind them that they are in default of your request and that the debt is now unenforceable - do this anyway.

failure to comply letter

stop payment

 

dx

please don't hit Quote...just type we know what we said earlier..

DCA's view debtors as suckers, marks and mugs

NO DCA has ANY legal powers whatsoever on ANY debt no matter what it's Type

and they

are NOT and can NEVER  be BAILIFFS. even if a debt has been to court..

If everyone stopped blindly paying DCA's Tomorrow, their industry would collapse overnight...

Have to differ from DX here.

 

Stopping payment is fine right now, but if they come back in 6 months time with a compliant agreement you will be at a disadvantage if you stopped paying. And possibly (maybe) justifying your actions in front of a judge.

 

Not saying you should stop or carry on - up to you. But realise that there might be long term consequences if you do stop.

 

If it were me, I might carry on paying for another month to see what they reply with.

 

Stopping payment can happen anytime you like. Recovery from stopping too soon will be on their terms and have you on the back foot.

Why would there be consequences?

 

The creditor has failed in their duty to provide a legal document which is to be used to prove that they are able to enforce the debt.

 

If the debt is unenforceable, then theres little point paying,

and really the only thing a creditor can do is mark your credit file.

 

Thats why most creditors just write the debt off and go and harass someone else,

 

because they know that there is no possibility of getting money.

Default of a CCA request could well be a transient thing. I have seen posts where a DCA has turned up 15 months later with a compliant agreement.

 

There are also threads on CAG where people have received claims while the creditor is in default of a CCA request. If so, they have to defend or they get a CCJ anyway.

 

Yes, the risks are small, but I still don't think stopping payment at an early stage is a one-size-fits-all strategy. The OP (in this case) needs to know what might happen.

yes but the defendant can never be 'penalised' for stopping payments when creditor is in defalut of a CCA request.

else whats the point of a CCA?

 

no judge would ever allow that.

 

however as you pointout, sneaky tacics like sending the papers to an old address might apply!!

YES IGNORE THAT NONSENSE, no agreement no pay, go away!!!!

 

The withdraw CCA request part needs reporting to the OFT it breaches guidance as misleading at least.

You can download an OFT complaint form so please do so it all counts.

Have you formally placed the account in dispute? If not, do so on the basis that you cannot verify the sums owed and that they have not produced the agreement or statement of account to allow you to do so.

 

You will then be in the driving seat. You will make an offer of a reduced settlement when you feel like it and for the amount you want (I suggest 25%).

 

But please bear in mind the advice above - they can fix this by producing an agreement at any time. Just because they haven't doesn't mean they can't.

 

Personally, I would save the amount you were paying them in to a F&F settlement fund. Let that build up to 50% but offer 25% to start with.

This has gone far beyond dispute, Cabot wanted the CCA request dropped and a negotiated payment plan, this was rejected and Cabot admit no CCA is extant,

so misleading and unfair business practice complaint to OFT and possible complaint to FOS!

Per Brig's advice then.

 

Contravention of (at least) OFT guidance, section 3.9(k).

http://www.oft.gov.uk/shared_oft/consultations/OFT664Rev_Debt_collection_g1.pdf

They have clearly not ceased "recovery activity".

 

That is just a starter.

 

I don't know what asking the CCA request to be dropped falls under - perhaps Brig could help there.

The request to withdraw CCA lawful request and agree payment is serious. deceptive conduct, may be even other legislative sanctions available on this.
