    • Ok you are in the clear. The PCN does not comply with the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012 Schedule 4 for two reasons. The first is that in Section 9 [2][e]  says the PCN must "state that the creditor does not know both the name of the driver and a current address for service for the driver and invite the keeper— (i)to pay the unpaid parking charges ". It does not say that even though it continues correctly with blurb about the driver. The other fault is that there is no parking period mentioned. Their ANPR cameras do show your arrival and departure times but as that at the very least includes driving from the entrance to the parking space then later leaving the parking space and driving to the exit. It also doesn't allow for finding a parking spot: manoeuvering into it avoiding parking on the lines: possibly having to stop to allow pedestrians/other cars to pass in front of you; returning the trolley after finishing shopping; loading children disabled people in and out of the car, etc etc.  All of that could easily add five, ten or even 15 minutes to your time which the ANPR cameras cannot take into account. So even if it was only two hours free time you could  still have been within the  time since there is a MINIMUM of 15 minutes Grace period when you leave the car park. However as they cannot even manage to get their PCN to comply with the Act you as keeper cannot be pursued. Only the driver is now liable and they do not know who was driving as you have not appealed and perhaps unwittingly given away who was driving. So you do not owe them a penny. No need to appeal. Let them waste their money pursuing you . 
    • If Labour are elected I hope they go after everyone who made huge amounts of money out of this, by loading the company with debt. The sad thing is that some pension schemes, including the universities one, USS, will lose money along with customers.
    • What's the reason for not wanting a smart meter? Personally I'm saving a pile on a tariff only available with one. Today electricity is 17.17p/kWh. If the meter is truly past its certification date the supplier is obliged to replace it. If you refuse to allow this then eventually they'll get warrant and do so by force. Certified life varies between models and generations, some only 10 or 15 years, some older types as long as 40 years or maybe even more. Your meter should have its certified start date marked somewhere so if you doubt the supplier you can look up the certified life and cross check.
    • No I'm not. Even if I was then comments on this forum wouldn't constitute legal advice in the formal sense. Now you've engaged a lawyer directly can I just make couple of final suggestions? Firstly make sure he is fully aware of the facts. And don't mix and match by taking his advice on one aspect while ploughing your own furrow on others.  Let us know how you get on now you have a solicitor acting for you.

    • 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.

Hi

I hope somebody can help me.

 

I have a debt of c £2,700 which I presume Link bought from MBNA.

 

I have been paying £15 per month for over 10 years and they have now all of a sudden started telephoning me.

 

I dont know how they have my number as it is ex directory and in a different name to the debt.

 

I no longer work and am disabled and really cannot afford the £15 but keep paying just to try to pay the debt off.

 

I owe over £30k in total as I had to give up work due to ill health and I have two very small children also.

 

I have MS and this is making me ill with worry.

 

Please can somebody help and give me some advice.

 

I have sent the letter asking them to confirm that they own the debt but I am now frightened to answer the phone in case its them.

Help help help please.

Thank you

Charlie

 

Do you think I would be better declaring bankruptcy?

Hi

Yes I sent that letter straight away but at the moment their mail goes to my parent's address they haven't got my new address but I cant understand how they managed to find my new phone number. I have changed name and address since the debt started (marriage).

I am paying them more than I should be when I work out with National Debtline my ins and outs and money for creditors

Can I just ignore them and keep paying the £15 and if I do will they go away?

Thanks

Charlie

Problem is all applications you make have address and phone number on them - all reported back to CRA's - all available if DCA's go digging around. And they do.

 

You say you PRESUME Link bought from MBNA? Have you got evidence? Have you sent SAR - what did it say?

 

Don't panic - debt isn't a crime. These idiots prey on frightening people.

Hi

I've been paying the Link/Wescot MBNA for over 10 years and have probably been paying the other two for 4 years.

 

I was keeping up the repayments on them (loan and credit card) until I found out I was pregnant with my second child

and had to give up work for maternity leave,

 

I telephoned them both and they reduced the payments for me but my MS got worse and I couldnt go back to work hence here I am in this situation.

 

I do have a car but I need it to run my children to school and the childminder as I am unable to walk very far.

right lets blow a few things out the water here.

 

LINK are a Debt Collection Agency.

 

NO DCA is a BAILIFF

 

and they DO NOT HAVE ANY SUCH LEGAL POWERS

 

whatever you've been told, most prob on the phone by these people

they would NEVER repeat in a letter as they KNOW its a LIE

 

link esp will lie, cheat, deceive, blag

or use ANY TACTIC to make you pay them...

 

wanna know WHERE the money you pay them goes..

.http://www.homesandproperty.co.uk/property_news/news/millionairedebtcollectordigsdeepinsouthkensington.html

 

as for your CAR

 

NO-ONE not even a BAILIFF can take you car for a civil debt

that it is not secured against.

 

you SERIOUSLY need to have a read around the forums here

and get wise.
