    • I have just read the smaller print on their signs. It says that you can pay at the end of your parking session. given that you have ten minutes grace period the 35 seconds could easily have been taken up with walking back to your car, switching on the engine and then driving out. Even in my younger days when I used to regularly exceed speed limits, I doubt I could have done that in 35 seconds even when I  had a TR5.

    • 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.

    • 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 need help,

I had a student loan in 1997, and was deferring until 2011 when I was made redundent and thought if I wasnt working I didnt have to defer anymore,

thesis took hold of the loan, but I didnt make any payments,

 

 

now link have rung saying no payment plan can be considered,

 

 

I have 48 hrs to find the money,

she told me to borrow it from family,

which I cant as its £1800.

Or I will be given a ccj and

peopke will come to my house to take goods to the value of the amount owed.

 

 

She told me to take legal advice.

 

 

I'm scared, what do I do!!!

 

 

Will people just turn up and come in my house???

 

 

Any help will be much appreciated she is ringing back today as 48 hrs is up!!!

Gemmings.

How disgusting of this company and the cow on the phone.

 

 

Do not phone them for any reason, this is very important, and do not answer if they phone you, just say "in a letter please" and put the phone down.

 

 

First off they cannot insist that it is in one payment and it is unlawful for them to suggest that you go borrow it from someone else.

 

 

Do yourself an income and expenses sheet to see exactly how much disposable income your actually have after everything has been taken into account and that includes something for a rainy day and Christmas.

 

 

You now send them by recorded post, a postal order or cheque with the amount you can safely afford, say £5 per month. It is important that you can afford this amount without a break as continual payments are more important than the amount.

 

 

Include a letter 'telling' them (no requesting) that this is all you can afford and ask for their banking details so you can set up a standing order. It's best to set up a standing order, (never a direct debit) as postal orders cost on top of their value.

 

 

It's very unlikely they will take you to court if you make regular payments to them as the court will want to know why when you are already making payments and will probably drop the monthly payment to £1 if your only income is benefits.

As for bailiffs, they won't be coming as they have to take you to court, and win, and then you have a further 28 days to pay, but you will have given the judge a copy of your expenses sheet so that will be that.

 

 

As for the unlawful and disgusting language used by them and their insistence that you borrow the money, you 'must' report it to the FCA

Have you been ignoring correspondence on this loan as it seems odd that someone would ring up and threaten a CCJ with 48hours notice.

 

Don't panic. If it does come down to court you can get some advice from the Citizens Advice bureau and they will help you to fill in any necessary forms.

 

Link may apply to the court in 48 hours but there is a hearing and a process to go through before a CCJ is issued.

You will be given notice of a court date and time to refute either that you owe the money or accept you owe the money but need time to pay.

 

 

Usually by demonstrating through a income and outgoings schedule what you can afford to pay.

Even if a CCJ is issued against you then the company have to go back again to get an order for the court bailiffs to collect

but some companies try it on by selling the debt to a DCA. (Debt collection agency).

 

 

These should never be given admittance to your home and do not negotiate with them only with the person with whom you made the contract.

 

I would try to avoid getting a CCJ as it will affect your credit rating for some time to come and you are likely to find yourself unable to get credit or a mortgage.

Once you are advised of a court claim you will need to complete form N244

 

You can also get advice from the National Debt helpline.

If you are phoning for help make sure you are contacting a debt charity and not a company that will negotiate debts on your behalf but claim huge fees.

 

 

Once you have started this process through a charity I understand that court proceedings if started have to be put on hold.

 

 

So I would be straight onto the National Debt helpline today if I was you and get advice from them

They have 12 + 2 days to comply then they are in default and would be unwise to submit a Claim...which they need to get to attain a CCJ first ...which you must ignore and not pay.... for them to execute the judgment using bailiffs.

moved to the SLC forum.

 

 

plenty of other thread here to read too

 

 

just remember thesis ARE link.

 

 

they are trying to spoof you here.

 

 

I'd get an sar off to thesis too.

 

 

if the SLC sold your loan to thesis

then odds on theres something amiss with it.

 

 

just because you failed to defer

doesn't automatically mean you have to pay up.

 

 

investigate things first

and stay off that phone as advised!!

You are worrying over nothing. Link cant do much if anything. They will say ANYTHING over the phone to scare you into paying.

 

Is this debt even enforceable at all give its age?

Any advice i give is my own and is based solely on personal experience. If in any doubt about a situation , please contact a certified legal representative or debt counsellor..

 

 

If my advice helps you, click the star icon at the bottom of my post and feel free to say thanks

In the very unlikely event that someone knocks on your door, they will have no powers to take or demand anything, they will just be a collector hoping to get something, so just say sorry, am talking to the creditor and shut the door.

 

 

Bailiffs wont be coming, they need a ccj against you first and then 28 days to expire without payment. Even then, you do not and should not allow anyone to come inside your home.
