    • Thank you for posting up the results from the sar. The PCN is not compliant with the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012 Schedule 4. Under Section 9 [2][a] they are supposed to specify the parking time. the photographs show your car in motion both entering and leaving the car park thus not parking. If you have to do a Witness Statement later should they finally take you to Court you will have to continue to state that even though you stayed there for several hours in a small car park and the difference between the ANPR times and the actual parking period may only be a matter of a few minutes  nevertheless the CEL have failed to comply with the Act by failing to specify the parking period. However it looks as if your appeal revealed you were the driver the deficient PCN will not help you as the driver. I suspect that it may have been an appeal from the pub that meant that CEL offered you partly a way out  by allowing you to claim you had made an error in registering your vehicle reg. number . This enabled them to reduce the charge to £20 despite them acknowledging that you hadn't registered at all. We have not seen the signs in the car park yet so we do not what is said on them and all the signs say the same thing. It would be unusual for a pub to have  a Permit Holders Only sign which may discourage casual motorists from stopping there. But if that is the sign then as it prohibits any one who doesn't have a permit, then it cannot form a contract with motorists though it may depend on how the signs are worded.
    • Defence and Counterclaim Claim number XXX Claimant Civil Enforcement Limited Defendant XXXXXXXXXXXXX   How much of the claim do you dispute? I dispute the full amount claimed as shown on the claim form.   Do you dispute this claim because you have already paid it? No, for other reasons.   Defence 1. The Defendant is the recorded keeper of XXXXXXX 2. It is denied that the Defendant entered into a contract with the Claimant. 3. As held by the Upper Tax Tribunal in Vehicle Control Services Limited v HMRC [2012] UKUT 129 (TCC), any contract requires offer and acceptance. The Claimant was simply contracted by the landowner to provide car-park management services and is not capable of entering into a contract with the Defendant on its own account, as the car park is owned by and the terms of entry set by the landowner. Accordingly, it is denied that the Claimant has authority to bring this claim. 4. In any case it is denied that the Defendant broke the terms of a contract with the Claimant. 5. The Claimant is attempting double recovery by adding an additional sum not included in the original offer. 6. In a further abuse of the legal process the Claimant is claiming £50 legal representative's costs, even though they have no legal representative. 7. The Particulars of Claim is denied in its entirety. It is denied that the Claimant is entitled to the relief claimed or any relief at all.   Signed I am the Defendant - I believe that the facts stated in this form are true XXXXXXXXXXX 01/05/2024   Defendant's date of birth XXXXXXXXXX   Address to which notices about this claim can be sent to 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.

Evening all,

 

Don't know if this is posted in the right section, but here goes.

 

I haven't acknowledged / made payments to any of my debts ( unsecured ) since Sept/Oct 2007.

 

I am not on the voters roll and have not been since I left my house in Sept 2007.

 

My father has just rang me to say that their is a letter for me ( 1st letter in 2/3 years to his address), which I asked him to open.

 

Its from Lowell Portfolio to inform me that HSBC and HFC have sold my bank accounts to them.

 

I am assuming that these debts are ( or very very near ) statue barred, but from what I understand they cant be SB if a CCJ was registered somewhere along the way.

 

Is there any way I can check for CCJ's against me without setting off alarm bells?

 

Also whats the best way to get confirmation that these debts/other debts are now SB?

 

Thank

Trust online is i think what you need. You can enter old addresses. As they are current accounts it is mire difficult to give an exact date as to when they become statute barred. I think it will be 6 years from when the bank made a formal demand for payment if that was after your past payment

Any opinion I give is from personal experience .

Check your credit files and any CCJ's should flag up on them.

 

To double check go to http://www.trustonline.org.uk/

 

What exactly are they're puerile missives saying? Are they begging for money?

Thanks for the quick reply fletch70.

 

So I could use trust online ( say with my dads address / address in 2007 ) and it wont show up on my credit file/against my name?

 

I have let sleeping dogs lie for the last 6 years and I know from January 2008 for DEFINATE that I didn't acknowledge any debts or make any payments to ANYONE.

 

Will Lowell send debt collectors to my dads address, or will they just keep sending letters?

 

HSBC = £800 , HFC = £2500

 

Any help appreciated.

It makes no odds what you check, be it credit files or otherwise, the only person who will know you've checked is you.

 

DCA's would like us all to think checking your CRF's flag up activity but as usual, this is all BS.

 

DCA's ar NOT bailiffs.

They have NO legal powers whatsoever.

 

If the debt is SB then once you have confirmed this, you can send them the SB letter and they will go away!

Yes fletch is right Trust Online, each search will cost you £4, it is worth keeping an eye on the register if you have some debts and have moved around Lowell and other DCA's will try to sneak in the occasional CCJ in by posting court papers to an old address, Lowell once tried to contact me at an address I left 12 years ago.

Interesting,

 

I thought if you did a CRA that it would log the address that you searched,

but I don't suppose that matters as there is someone else living in 1 address,

and my father in the other.

 

Just worried that if I did a CRA and used my dads address that they would assume I am living there and knock the door.

Thanks alienskumn - Lol, I am from Swansea too! - I might just wait till January 2014 to do any search, any where as I know it will def by SB from them ( assuming they didn't register CCJ's for them all!!!)

A debt DOES NOT follow an address, there is NO such thing as a blacklist.

 

A debt follows the individual, not the address.

 

Any unsolicited stranger knocking the door can be treated the same as a gypsy selling wooden pegs.

 

Hiding won't do anything except exacerbate the problem.

Hit them head on, as Lowlifes are quite litigious of late and will issue a summons if they think they can get away with it.

 

Like I say, checking credit files or the CCJ register DOES NOT alert anyone, as ONLY you will see that you have checked your files.

 

Debt Collection Agencies are NOT bailiffs, they have NO legal powers.

Ok so it necessary its blagging time.

 

Have a look at trustonline although you do have to pay.

 

If the last known address was your dads and you have not had papers through you are probably ok.

 

Of course there is nothing stopping someone returning the letters with not at this address all over them.

 

If they do find you i have a nice little letter that confuses the poor dears.

 

If i remember i will try to post it tomorrow

Then check your credit files use Experian, you can send them £2 and receive hard copies of them, OR, use the free 30 day trial, check but remember to cancel within the 30 day period.

BB the issue would be that by doing a credit file check they verify your identity and current address. Hence the op would be traceable. I personally know of someone this happened to

 

Again, the debt is tied to the individual and NOT the address.

The issue is that Lowlifes have already found the OP so he needs to check his credit files to see what is on them, otherwise it's back to ostrich fever whereby lowlifes will obtain a CCJ by default and all that entails.

 

Check your credit files with the correct details so you are then suitably informed and can either put this to bed once and for all, or fight them off.

Wouldn't this be the same as the post immediately above yours BB?, as in it would be traceable? Confused now!

They haven't find the op they have found his dad. The honourable thing to do would be to check your credit files and see what happens. I must say providing the op and his father are talking then he will be in the loop.

 

If you have any spare cash now could be a time to make a low full and final.

Maybe wires are getting crossed here?

 

The only way you are ever going to find out what is on your credit file is to check it.

Simply checking your credit file DOES NOT mean that DCA's etc will know.

 

Lowlifes have already been looking at your file and have sent you a begging letter, you are not going to do any harm in checking your own files.

If you don't and they obtain a CCJ by default then you will wish you had checked them, as if the debt is SB, then you will know this by the absence of it being on your credit file, thus you are able to tell them it is SB and to have a nice day.

 

You ARE already traceable.

They HAVE already traced you.

 

By checking your credit file, it WILL NOT show them.

If I did a CRA using my dads address as current address i.e (2007-present),

and used my former address ( debt address) for 1999-2007,

surely they couldn't trace me at my REAL current address could they???

:-x

No NO No!

 

PAY NOTHING!

 

Just check your credit file.

And the reason why the letter went to the OP's fathers address, is because that is the address that is on the OP's credit file.

Something so simple as checking your file, should not be this hard.

What does it matter if they can?

I am assuming that you have a mobile phone and a bank account?

If so then you're traceable.
