    • Northmonk forget what I said about your Notice to Hirer being the best I have seen . Though it  still may be  it is not good enough to comply with PoFA. Before looking at the NTH, we can look at the original Notice to Keeper. That is not compliant. First the period of parking as sated on their PCN is not actually the period of parking but a misstatement  since it is only the arrival and departure times of your vehicle. The parking period  is exactly that -ie the time youwere actually parked in a parking spot.  If you have to drive around to find a place to park the act of driving means that you couldn't have been parked at the same time. Likewise when you left the parking place and drove to the exit that could not be describes as parking either. So the first fail is  failing to specify the parking period. Section9 [2][a] In S9[2][f] the Act states  (ii)the creditor does not know both the name of the driver and a current address for service for the driver, the creditor will (if all the applicable conditions under this Schedule are met) have the right to recover from the keeper so much of that amount as remains unpaid; Your PCN fails to mention the words in parentheses despite Section 9 [2]starting by saying "The notice must—..." As the Notice to Keeper fails to comply with the Act,  it follows that the Notice to Hirer cannot be pursued as they couldn't get the NTH compliant. Even if the the NTH was adjudged  as not  being affected by the non compliance of the NTK, the Notice to Hirer is itself not compliant with the Act. Once again the PCN fails to get the parking period correct. That alone is enough to have the claim dismissed as the PCN fails to comply with PoFA. Second S14 [5] states " (5)The notice to Hirer must— (a)inform the hirer that by virtue of this paragraph any unpaid parking charges (being parking charges specified in the notice to keeper) may be recovered from the hirer; ON their NTH , NPE claim "The driver of the above vehicle is liable ........" when the driver is not liable at all, only the hirer is liable. The driver and the hirer may be different people, but with a NTH, only the hirer is liable so to demand the driver pay the charge  fails to comply with PoFA and so the NPE claim must fail. I seem to remember that you have confirmed you received a copy of the original PCN sent to  the Hire company plus copies of the contract you have with the Hire company and the agreement that you are responsible for breaches of the Law etc. If not then you can add those fails too.

    • I understand what you mean. But consider that part of the problem, and the frustration of those trying to help, is the way that questions are asked without context and without straight facts. A lot of effort was wasted discussing as a consumer issue before it was mentioned that the property was BTL. I don't think we have your history with this property. Were you the freehold owner prior to this split? Did you buy the leasehold of one half? From a family member? How was that funded (earlier loan?). How long ago was it split? Have either of the leasehold halves changed hands since? I'm wondering if the split and the leashold/freehold arrangements were set up in a way that was OK when everyone was everyone was connected. But a way that makes the leasehold virtually unsaleable to an unrelated party.

    • 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.

Evening - Just trying to put a few issues to bed.

My H'fax loan disappeared off my CR file in May.

But I have continued to pay a nominal amount monthly.

The original loan of £25k was taken out in mid 2003.

I have repaid over £24k.

But have not paid the interest added to the loan - which should have been apx 8k.

If it is statute barred now and off my CRA file - can I stop making the nominal payments ? Or can I still be chased?

I am trying to decide if I write to 1st Cred and tell them that I consider the debt cleared....

1st Cred bought the debt off H in July 14. Apx £7k - which is the interest that H never got...

They only just - in April - sent copies of the agreement + my id and all payments I made to H

if you've been paying it it cant be SB'd...

 

 

the fact that a debt falls off a CRA file is nowt to

do with state barring whatsoever, or if/if not a debt is then still 'owed'

Thanks

So it was defaulted 6 years ago and I have continued to pay monthly nominal amount which has almost cleared the original loan amount.

Cos I have made these payments it cant be SB.

what would happen if I stop paying the nominal payment ?

Do you think 1st cred honestly expect full payment of an interest payment when the original loan is repaid ?

As I understand from earlier postings,

they can ask for payment but as Default has dropped off the CRA file they cant pursue it through the courts - is that correct?

I cant figure out if I write to 1st cred and say the loan is cleared so please go away

or if I should offer a token settlement ?

Morning

I have received a letter from 1stcred saying my account "will shortly be passed to their legal department to consider initiating bankruptcy proceedings against me"

I have been paying a nominal amount every month.

It has dropped off my CRA file.

I have paid off all the capital; what remains is the interest amount unpaid - apx £7k.

Should I be worried that they will start court proceedings for bankruptcy?

Thanks....

I haven't done a cca yet.

But now they have sent this threatogram perhaps I should now?????

you sent them a CCA last august

they didn't reply

you continued paying...why?

pers until/unless someone sends an enforceable CCA

or an SD [unlikely as they said this 4 times in as many years.]

or a claimform

I'd be stopping all payments and letter tennis

hi

1st Cred did reply to my cca request.

In April this year. Post #30 above

I sent it in Aug last year and it took them until April to dig out paperwork

- driving licence/signature / payment history.

They have subsequently been increasing the amount of letters they send me...

Which is why I am a bit nervous about this threatening letter re bankruptcy

sorry for not posting what 1stCred sent....

 

1st cred sent:

One page entitled Personal Loan Agreement - unsecured.

Credit Agreement Regulated by the CCA 1974.

It had H address and my address.

 

It listed the financial info

- the loan amount,

the charge amount,

the total to pay,

the amount of £s to pay over x instalments,

the APR rate (7.9%) and monthly interest rate (0.639%)

 

It listed a number of conditions and there was a box with my signature and dated (12y ago)

There was a H employee signature also.

 

Interestingly the date is not in my hand-writing.

The date is the same writing for the H employee.

 

The Personal Loan Application Form.

The date is the same as the Agreement and again is in the H employee hand-writing.

I did not agree to Personal Loan Repayment Cover.

 

Passport copy

Driving licence copy

NOA - from H to me, notifying assignment July 2014 to 1stcred.

 

6 pages of Personal Loan Statement

- shows monthly correct payments from the start date of the Agreement as per the docs they sent.

 

2 pages entitled "Pre-Sue".

This says Creditsolve - Live legal report.

It says date placed (last summer)

- and it lists all the nominal monthly payments since mid 2009.

 

Does this alter my situation?

Can they seriously threaten me?

do I assume that 1st Cred know they have been non-compliant and are just threatening me emptily??

 

If I don't partake in letter tennis I think I have a couple options:

continue paying a monthly nominal amount

stop paying

 

write and ask for a f&f figure to settle (a small % of what owed)

 

The debt is no longer on my cra - so a f&f low settlement won't show, will it?

Interestingly I have received another letter from 1stCred.

 

It outlines my agreement to Hal and date of assignment to 1stCred

and then - ironically - lets me know about the convenient payment methods available to me !! (dd, so, online, phone, card, post, web)

 

It then attaches an annual statement - which says "Annual Statement relating to fixed-sum credit agreement".

 

The statement shows the nominal monthly payments made - under the heading 'Description' there is written 'payment to client (purchase)

 

Would be kind of interesting to stop the monthly nominal payments - if I was confident they would not threaten me

 

PS - is there a probable likely reason why 1stCred have not sent the T&Cs ?

Is it because it is so long ago (03) ?

Because Hal won't have kept the pertinent T&Cs for this loan ?

Or just lazy and silly....

that's the standard 'statement of account' that the owner of anything related to an account under the 'consumer credit act' must send under the new [apr 2013] FCA rules.

 

nothing to worry about.

 

haliprats prob do not have a copy of the T&C's with your AD on it

 

wait for 1st crapit to get an old copy from their files and mundge it with your address

 

bet they get that wrong for the address at time of take out, and the correctly dated version.

Well....1stCred are certainly spending many pennies on postage at the moment !

 

Just got another letter.

 

This time they say:

"my account has been passed to their legal dept as I haven't given them an acceptable offer of repayment;

credit bureau info suggesting I have sufficient means to begin repayment of the debt ;

and they say they are unaware of any reason as to how my current circumstances may be affecting my ability to begin repayments".

 

They are giving me another 10 days to respond.

 

Then they "may" issue a 'statutory demand'...

 

despite the advice above saying ignore and don't get into letter tennis

- is it a good idea to remind them that the info they sent was missing required info ???

 

ps - address has been the same all the time
