    • 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.

This thread is extremely useful and interesting.

I have had a contact from Cabot too. CAB are handling it for me. Should I send them the CCA letter? I really don't want to pay - at any time - if I don't have to.

What do you reckon?

It would depend on your situation really. None of us want to pay but explain your circumstances and we might be able to provide more information for you. If the debt exists then one has an obligation, but if you are like my own where the whole debt is made up of charges then it's a kinda different.

Hi

Thanks.

The situation is that DH is in rehab after depression set in and he hit the bottle big time. His problem but he has left behind a whole lotta debt. He won't be out of rehab til October earliest. When he went in I contacted every company that I knew of to explain that money was non existent and that please could they hold fire till the end of the year.

A lot of the companies such as Citi bank, Yes car credit etc. have said that they are giving the debt over to collection agencies. Not alot I can do about that so what else could I say. They don't want the bother of waiting to see if they get their money back, so they hand it on. Their privelage I suppose.

 

Anyway,most of the debts, including cabot, is DH;s debt. Sole name. There are others such as Welcome Finance which is secured, that sort of thing.

 

I found myself/him in such dire straights after his binge of 6mths inside a vodka bottle, that I felt I couldn't cope with all the phone calls, explainations, letters, threats etc... I needed help. I first went to CCCS, who I have to say are pretty good.

I have no idea what to do with all the forms etc. So I went to Debt Matters... I have been told they charge, but they can't help anyway. Not enough coming in for an IVA. So I went to the CAB financial "experts" who have so far written letters to the creditors with a financial statement. I just keep them informed of a progress that occurs with each creditor... ie summonses etc...

 

We are jointly liable for the mortgage but there is no way I can pay that on what I earn. (£80/wk) The mortgage itself comes to approx £1800 per month!!

 

DH went bankrupt about 9yrs ago because of a business deal that went wrong for him. He has been penalised for it ever since. He was only out of b/ruptcy 2yrs before we appllied for a mortgage.

 

Anyways, hope this puts a clearer picture on it.

There are other collectors involved now too.

 

Thanks for helping/just being there.:)

I'm really sorry to hear of your difficulties, but never give up hope - thesre's 40,000 people coming to this forum and everyone of them are sharing information which will take you through the steps and out of trouble stage by stage.

 

If you start your own thread Moderators will follow your every step.

 

As for Cabot, I think you will do no harm issuing a CCA for £1. My experience of them so far is that they don't know quite what they are doing, Using the templates I sent them the letter telling them I didn't recognise that I owed Cabot anything. I sent the CCA letter with the £1 postal Order and they sent me back a letter thanking me for my payment and that I should contact them to set up a payment plan:-| With the 12 days now passed they would need a court order to gain payment and at the end of the 30 days it will become uninforceable. They responded to the Data Protection Act request and sent statements and a lot of ghost letters ( copies of unaddressed standard letters from their computer which mean nothing at all).

 

Would I be correct in thinking there are a lot of charges on the original accounts ? If so you can write to everyone for the Data Protection Act requests re charges and all the collection agents telling them that the accounts are in dispute and that you do not wish them to call you by telephone and that if they do they will be breaching the Wireless and Telegraphy Act - so everything in writing.

 

What is emphasised throughout this forum is the necessity for people to get control back over these debts and only you can do that by reading what everyone is doing. There are various different approaches being taken by so many people and even the most knowledgable can learn something. One thing to remember is that we all have had some kind problem with debt for all types of reason and the synergy of this site gives the power back to the individual using the very laws these finance companies and collection agents throw at us all.

 

You will never be alone on this site - theres 40,000 of us!:)

Well said!

 

Ask any questions that you may have and you will get all the help you need.

 

One thing to remember is that there really is very little they can do if you simply cannot pay.

 

A friend of mine told me today that he had sent his CCA letter off to Legal & Trade and they (quite incorrectly and incompetently) accepted it as a payment and sent him a bundle of payment slips and informed him that they "look forward to another payment next week" and that they "accepted his payment offer of £1 per week."

 

Thing is, the debt is for just over £12,000 and he is in his 60's so at £1 per week...

tell him to keep stum. If they don't understand the CCA process that's their problem. That's exactly what cabot have done to me, taken my £1 as a payment so to hell with em. 12 days have expired - roll on the end of the month! If your chum finds they don't respond within 30 days the debt is uninforceable from what I can understand. I'll find out the exact legal position tomorow and post here again.
