    • worthy to not forget Just to let you know this bunch Kensington have been fined £1.225m by the financial regulator for treating borrowers who were in arrears unfairly. Claim those charges back plus the interest and tell them not to add any more to the account. There are a few news stories here you can get the info for a letter to send to them. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/8615870.stm  
    • Hi All. I went to visit a family friend in Rochdale on a new housing estate opposite a old row of houses. The location is Royle Road, Postcode OL11 3PE. I was originally parked in parking bays outside the old houses, then moved the car, when I noticed my tyre was flat, so parked on what looked like double yellows to use his air pump to check and inflate the tyres before we left the house.   In the time i went inside to sort the pump and power supply i got a PCN.  The tyre then got changed (has a puncture) and we left. PCN Number:         RE######## Date:             04/05/2024 Time:             20:36 Observation:         20:34 to 20:36 Reported location:     Royle Park Road Reason:        Parked in a restricted street during prescribed hours (Code: 01) I believe this PCN is not correct and has grounds to appeal: 1. My friend who moved into the property around 6 months ago, swears that even though it has old double yellows marked, they are not current or council marked.   He said the property development company had said they had marked them for ease of access during development. 2. The road i was parked on was Royle Road.  The PCN was issued for Royle Park Road, which is about 400 yards up the road. 3. There are no sign posts or marking showing parking  restriction hours in the entire area (there maybe on Royle park Road). I have attached a map of the Location where i parked as a red dot. I have 2 questions: a.  Is there a way to check where double yellow lines are marked on some register to check if they are current? b. Can my grounds of appeal simply be, wrong location, wrong offence? Thanks in advance. Map_20240505.pdf
    • you made it very confusing, though i doubt any of it was ever read by the delivery franchise for DPD. your saving grace might well be you didn't select your own address (though if you are all the same postcode..??) and neither mentioned a safe space other than another neighbour. but with the actual delivery address on the parcel, it appears the driver had a choice of 3 addresses, all under the same post code with differing house numbers. so chose the label one but left it on your doorstep. play it carefully and along with the photo and the retailers requirement you should be ok.   dx  
    • Are Resident car parks subject to Planning permission under Town and Country Planning {control of Advertisements ] Regulations? SCHEDULE 1CLASSES OF ADVERTISEMENT TO WHICH PARTS 2 AND 3 DO NOT APPLY Class A "1.  The advertisement is not readily visible from outside the enclosed land or from any place to which the public have a right of access." As a private residential site does the public have a right of access? This particular Act has so many caveats that even many Councils do not understand it and that includes me. Though I do understand it better than many council planning departments.

    • 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.

Rankines was a long time ago, certainly before Carey.

 

Anyway, I expect it's the way you present it to a DCA. If they think they could be done for fraud by producing documents they know can't have been the original agreement they may think twice about pursuing it.

 

As you say, it's good when they give up the ghost. :-)

Indeed it was but i think the judge was quoting the cancellation and copy regulations as was the case in question.

Copy documents are for information purposes only unfortunately and any mistake in content can be remedied by the creditor at any time, that is the problem.

Also as we know any failure to comply does not limit the creditors ability to demand payment , add interest nor does it render the account in dispute.

 

Many confuse the enforceabilty sanction under the copy regulations with that were available under section 127 they are of course two entirely different things.

Tell you what, I'll carry on doing what I'm doing which has worked for me and helped other people, and you can carry on saying what you think would work or not work. :-)

 

If a DCA sends me something they say is [my] agreement and it isn't then as far as I'm concerned that's fraud and they are attempting to get money to which they are not entitled.

If it frightens them off it can only be good. Anyway, if I have said I can prove it, I can. :-) I don't make idle threats.

 

I'm sure :)

I'm so mixed up now!

I had a payment plan agreed with the TSB and had been paying it for years and still am.

 

Now Cabot say they have bought this debt, and it shows on my credit file Cabot ,no mention of TSB.

 

I have been reading on these forums that a debt should not be sold on if there is a payment plan in place,

 

I don't know if this is correct or not.

 

I don't know what to do now.

 

I have already asked for CCA and Cabot says it will take up to 40 days to get it

and I have received a letter today from FIRE saying they will send doorstep Agents out

(This was dated one day before last Cabot letter).

 

When and if I get the CCA I don't know what to do after that.

 

I am so stressed with this I need things to be explained simply because my brain is just not functioning properly.

Many Thanks for all the help, and I am sorry for asking for it to be explained because of my frazzled brain.

Calm down it is not a problem creditors sell accounts with repayment plans in place all the time.

 

If this was part of a DMP by one of the providers they should automatically have transferred the arrangement but it sounds like the DCA are not aware that one was in place.

 

Contact them and tell them that you have been paying off the debt and ask them for details so that you can continue the arrangement see what they say, if they are uncooperative come back on here.

Sorry, pat5y, for getting off topic with our discussion about enforceability.

 

FIRE are part of Cabot so as you have written to Cabot they shouldn't be sending out doorstep collectors. However, if you go to the Library you will find a letter to send to them, and it's worth printing off a copy to hand to anyone who may turn up.

 

Having said that, I have had countless threats of doorstep collectors and only one ever did turn up - a weedy little old man who went away as soon as I handed him the letter. In nine cases out of 10, maybe even more, they won't be sending a collector and the threat is made to get you to pay up.

 

They should have been told that an arrangement was in place but either they haven't been, or they are trying to push you to pay more, which debt buyers often do when they take over accounts. They can't make you do that. You can only pay what you can reasonably afford, your repayment plan was accepted, and you have been paying as agreed.

 

When you eventually get the CCA, if there is one, the next step is to see if it is enforceable and we can advise you on that.

Have to say that I have dealt with many cases like this and all I do is give them a ring and get the payment details, I know that the advice on here is not to ring DCA's but I can only say what works for me and also indecently the professional advice sector. If they do not know you have a repayment arrangement in place they will keep pursuing for the total debt.

I just think people need to remember that requesting copy agreements under a s77/79 request; and challenging the enforceability of an agreement are two completely separate things. A reconstituted agreement may satisfy the information request BUT it would then be down to the debtor to argue that an agreement is irrideemably unenforceable if they have the grounds to do so.

I received a letter from Cabot today it said

 

"Unfortunately Cabot has been unable to provide you with the information you requested.

We shall continue to request the info from the original lender.

we will place your account on hold until we can comply with your request.

 

Your credit agreement is currently unenforceable which means we are not permitted to obtain a judgement or decree against you in court.

 

However, you are still obliged to repay the outstanding balance and you should contact us to set up a repayment arrangement or carry on with your existing payment plan."

 

I currently pay £5 per month by standing order to TSB, and have done for years.

TSB are not listed on my credit file but a cabot default is.

 

Can anyone advise me on my next course of action?

 

Thanks

there's probably a default date in the debt summary?

 

that will be the 6yrs clock start for the debt to vanish from the listing

as such, it does matter what else is put on the file

it sort of cant hurt you

 

however of course the 6yrs from default date vanish does always mean the debt is not owed

many factors effect that

which are what have already been discussed here..
