    • Well we can't predict what the judge will believe. PE will say that they responded in the deadline and you will say they don't. Nobody can tell what a random DJ will decide. However if you go for an OOC settlement you should still be able to get some money
    • What do you guys think the chances are for her?   She followed the law, they didnt, then they engage in deception, would the judge take kindly to being lied to by these clowns? If we have a case then we should proceed and not allow these blatant dishonest cheaters to succeed 
    • I have looked at the car park and it is quite clearly marked that it is  pay to park  and advising that there are cameras installed so kind of difficult to dispute that. On the other hand it doesn't appear to state at the entrance what the charge is for breaching their rules. However they do have a load of writing in the two notices under the entrance sign which it would help if you could photograph legible copies of them. Also legible photos of the signs inside the car park as well as legible photos of the payment signs. I say legible because the wording of their signs is very important as to whether they have formed a contract with motorists. For example the entrance sign itself doe not offer a contract because it states the T&Cs are inside the car park. But the the two signs below may change that situation which is why we would like to see them. I have looked at their Notice to Keeper which is pretty close to what it should say apart from one item. Under the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012 Schedule 4 Section 9 [2]a] the PCN should specify the period of parking. It doesn't. It does show the ANPR times but that includes driving from the entrance to the parking spot and then from the parking place to the exit. I know that this is a small car park but the Act is quite clear that the parking period must be specified. That failure means that the keeper is no longer responsible for the charge, only the driver is now liable to pay. Should this ever go to Court , Judges do not accept that the driver and the keeper are the same person so ECP will have their work cut out deciding who was driving. As long as they do not know, it will be difficult for them to win in Court which is one reason why we advise not to appeal since the appeal can lead to them finding out at times that the driver  and the keeper were the same person. You will get loads of threats from ECP and their sixth rate debt collectors and solicitors. They will also keep quoting ever higher amounts owed. Do not worry, the maximum. they can charge is the amount on the sign. Anything over that is unlawful. You can safely ignore the drivel from the Drips but come back to us should you receive a Letter of Claim. That will be the Snotty letter time.

    • 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.

Have just received the attached letter from Bryan Carter Solicitors.

Have been fighting Lowells and a number of other DCA's for years.

None have been able to provide a signed CCA despite numerous SAR and CCA requests.

 

Any advice on what I should do (if anything)?

 

Thanks.

Hi welcome to CAG,

 

The letter is too small to read, but I can see Carter is acting for Lowell Financial.

 

Information please:

 

What is the name of the original creditor.

 

When was the last payment or written acknowledgment of this date made.

 

This is one of Carters standard approaches probably threatens court action an lists costs and fees?

Any Letters I Draft are N0T approved by CAG and no personal liability is accepted.

Thanks for the reply.

 

Until I can post an image, then, the gist of the BCS letter is that they act for Lowells but that I must pay Fredrickson International Ltd what they claim to be my outstanding Credit Card debt (with Barclaycard), in full, within fourteen days.

 

"Failing which we will recommend to our client that proceedings be issued without further notice" blah, blah, blah extra costs etc., as you guessed.

 

Yet, as I said, neither the Credit Card issuer, Lowells or Fredrickson (or any others they have employed) have provided me with a true copy of any Credit Card Agreement signed by me.

 

Should I respond or ignore this latest threat? (Incidentally, I have received no communication from them for a number of months, on this matter).

 

Last payment on the account was made over 4 years ago.

 

I SAR'd Barclaycard but they have no copy of a signed agreement between us. Each Debt Collection Agency simply passes the account onto another DCA whenever I make a repeat CCA request.......until now.

 

Lowell and Fredrickson have been unable to produce a CCA but have passed it to Bryan Carter Solicitors, instead.

 

Thanks, again.

OK reply to Carter as follows.

 

Bryan Carter Solicitors LLP

 

 

Ref: use theirs:

 

Sir/Madam,

 

I refer to a letter dated xx xx xxxxx regarding an alleged debt for £ xxxx. xx relating to an account with Barclaycard now supposedly in the hands of Lowell Financial Ltd and be processed by Fredrickson International.

 

Please take note I do not acknowledge any debt to any party mentioned in your letter.

 

For information and for avoidance of any misunderstanding this alleged debt has been passed around the unsavoury depths of the 'debt collection industry' for some considerable time and during that time NO company has provided unequivocal proof of my liability no agreement has ever been provided.

 

My advice to Bryan Carter LLP is to close the file on this matter and return it to its client forthwith.

Please note any County Court Claim will be rigorously defended.

 

Final response.

You don't pull your punches, do you, Brigadier?:hail: A man after my own heart!!!

 

A follow up punch, descending into a scrap, is only necessary if the first blow is too weak to finish the job.

 

I like and appreciate your advice and will take it on board.

 

Additional advice is also more than welcome from anyone with the relevant knowledge or experience.

 

Much appreciated.:clap2:

On a point of note, the warning letter I received from Bryan Carter seems to contain a number of anomalies.

 

1) They name their client as being LOWELL FINANCIAL LIMITED

2) Yet they warn me to remit payment to FREDRICKSON INTERNATIONAL LTD.

3) The account number they quote is only 3-quarters correct in that the first 12 numbers are correct but the final 4 are incorrect.

 

Does any of this have any bearing on matters?

 

Thanks.

A usual method of attempting to deceive you in to believing passing the account around other DCAs is an giving them more importance and impact eg a load of twaddle.

The account number has to be completely correct.

 

Lowell own the debt Freds assigned to collect Carter employed to make threats.

Many thanks, so Lowell is the key, then.

 

Last I heard from them was in December and prior to that, January 2012 (they seem to be annual events). I simply ignored them.

 

Heard from Freddy's in January (ignored them, too).

 

Am somewhat tempted to ignore this also (particularly as, being a stroke victim, I am on incapacity benefit and haven't worked since 2005 and genuinely possess no savings or assets (not even an automobile) - so, unless they are either alchemists or financial-masochists, I can't see what they can realistically hope to achieve in their somewhat futile pursuit of me.

Indeed Lowell are the beneficial owner of the account, it may be useful given your state of health and financial situation to ''suggest'' to Lowell that it would be best for them to take a commercial decision on the viability of the debt and close the file.

 

I can draft such a plea if you wish to consider this course of action.

That would be really kind of you, if you have the time and inclination (I do like your no-nonsense, but considered, style of addressing situations such as this with simple realism).

 

However, if you decide to, may I request that you either PM it to me or post it in, say, the Templates Section as a general "Duress Appeal" or similar as I have no doubt that the money-monkeys also monitor these boards (along with MI5 and the CIA, of course - LOL).

 

Many thanks for your advice, thus far, Brigadier.

Hi there,

 

JibTeenuc, has there been any progress in your dealings with Fredrickson / Lowells / Bryan Carter Solicitors / Barclaycard?

 

With apologies for the thread hijack, I'd be really interested to know how you're getting on. My husband sent a "prove it" letter to Bryan Carter Solicitors on 20th September and has received a letter from Fredrickson dated 2nd Oct - making no reference to the "prove it" letter which essentially says:

 

"Despite a recent letter from Bryan Carter Solicitors LLP it appears you have not discharged your debt with our client Lowell Financial Ltd".

 

The letter then goes on to demand payment in full within 48 hours of receipt of the letter.

 

My husband last made a payment of £100 on the account to an entirely different company called "Scotcall" back in January this year (2013), but has not made any payments since. At the time Scotcall rang him and demanded payment he panicked, having no idea of the full extent of the debt, or what to do for the best. I realise this may compound his options now.

 

What bothers me about this debt is that I've managed to find paperwork dating back to June 2010 when the amount requested was £7,590 and, at today's date, the matter has passed through the hands of at least six different DCAs (including Lowells, Red, NCO, Scotcall, Hamptons Legal and Fredrickson) and is now over £300 MORE than originally stated.

 

Any help and advice will be most gratefully received - and, JibTeenuc, I apologise once again for the thread hijack, but hope you are making good progress with your own action!
