    • 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.

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.

    • 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.

Cannot seem to find anything about Black Horse on here so apologies if there is a sub forum.

I believe they are a subsidiary of Lloyds Tsb.

 

My car finance is provided from them and they are next on my list to send a letter to reclaim late payment charges.

Just wondered if anyone has had any dealings with Black Horse or have any contact details.

I do remember phoning them to change a direct debit date recently and was told £15 charge for that!

they are on my list as well, my car loan is with them and they have clobbered me a few times when i have missed payments. the phone operators have told me that their charges have been added to the amount outstanding (their actual words were 'added at the end', suggesting no interest charges, but i very seriously doubt this).

 

i would be interested to hear how you get on!

Hi Clint.

 

I hope they get your letter. It is more advisable to send letters to these companies via recorded mail, it costs an extra 68p but there is a track and trace number for you to see when the letter arrives.

You can prove posting the letter but you cannot prove them receiving it if they say it hasn't arrived.

 

I sent a letter to Abbey on August 16th and they received it on 18th. During a conversation they said the letter hadn't arrived until the 23rd but I knew otherwise and if it comes down to it I can prove it via the signature on the RM website.

Settled at 50%

Clydesdale £155. Should have been £310 charges, plus interest :( Husbands Account.

 

 

SETTLED IN FULL:

MBNA £1230. For Hubby.

Halifax £39.

RBS £342. For Hubby.

Cap One £200.

Abbey:

:D Settled in FULL April 18th 2007. £5179.83 Paid but what a long battle!

:D

COMPENSATION OF £100 ON 14/04/08 FOR CONTINUED HARASSEMENT.

Hi Kerrie

 

So do I! I sent the request for Bank Statements recorded but as this account is only 6 months old i took the risk. I also managed to get Credit Card statements via telephone. I would normally use recorded but reckon its worth the risk this once!

Hello

 

I have read some of the previous threads and thought i would start my own regarding my HP. I have a car on finance thru Black Horse which was taken out in February this year. I owe around £2800. I no longer want it. What legally can i do?

 

Can i voluntarily terminate the agreement and what are the conditions for this? 50% has to paid? If not then is there anything that can be done to get out of this agreement?

 

Thanks

Hi There

 

If its a true HP agreement there WILL be an amount printed (usually on the schedule sheet) of how much needs to be paid before you can V.T. ...I've already done this twice without any problems...

 

The car can then be returned to the finance company but needs to be in a condition which is expected for age & normal wear'n'tear when it was originally sold to you,

ie. theres no major dents or scratches etc...if there is its best to get these sorted or patched up yourself as they'll charge you a small fortune if they do it themselves.

 

You need to watch though as some agreements which look like HP are actually personal loans then the V.T. rules do not apply only a 14 cooling off period...

 

Hope this helps??

No probs...They'll just send the forms etc when all the paper works completed they'll either get a man in a van to pick it up or you'll have to return it back to where they say & find your own way home (As I had to do with my last car).

Hi Clint1974,

 

I am currently trying to end my HP agreement with Blackhorse Finance also, I have paid over the amount required to end the agreement. I wrote to Blackhorse requesting the end of my agreement, they sent me a form to complete and stated that I need to pay a further £428.30 in oder to return the car.

 

I called them to find out why I had to pay this balance and they said it was the 'insurance premium'. Not happy with this answer I was advised to request a copy of the agreement, to see if an insurance premuim was included in the agreement ( I'm sure there isn't). I called again to dispute this balance and I was then advised that I was 'behind with my installments'.

 

If I have paid more than the amount specified in the agreement, and the car is in good condition, why am I liable to pay this balance?! The saga continues. Good luck, I hope things go smoothly for you! I'll keep you updated. If anyone has some advice i'll appreciate it.

I recieved a copy of the credit agreement i sent for yesterday but still not had the "pack" through. Rang them up and the guy told me it has been sent but 2nd class, cheap skates. Do you know if the car has to be taxed? mines up and would rather give it back as is!

Hi, last year I handed back 3 SEATS and the boy who picked them up advised us to keep the tax and cash it in, which we did and no negative feedback about any aspect of what we did.

 

It wasn't with your finance company but same rules should apply I imagine.

 

Cheers, hope this helps

Hi ya When i was having cars returned it was 3/4 of the agreement to be paid and the sum was usually written on the contract. The contract also states f the car has been maintained well and is in reasonable condition and some company's take liberties with this section, dont take "no we don't want it as a reply" say " sorry but your having it"

 

BL:)

I have the pack, there is a line that say's " I also understand that i may have additional liability if i have not taken reasonable care of the goods and the resale price is adversly affected" which i have to sign. Should i A: not sign or B: Sign crossing out the line? Then i have no liability?! The car IS in reasonable condition i just don't want them stating otherwise. ?

Hello there,

 

I am just navigating my way through the maze that is the CAG forum! It is a doddle compared to the red tape and horse doo doo that Black Horse use...

 

I have just spoken with BlackHorse regarding my loan with them and several things of interest have appeared:

 

1) although they quote APR the interest is charged monthly; therefore if you take a 'payment break' you dont pay them any money, but you are accruing an extra months interest on the outstanding balance.

 

2) Apparently according to them I have a £1500 loan over 60 months - I thought I had taken it out over less (24 months) than that, but cannot find my paperwork due to house moves etc (and I am - correction was - rubbish at retaining that sort of thing) - Would they have increased the length of the loan to cover the extra charges I have incurred by missing a few payments? (another story entirely!) The figure I pay has not changed so I am even more confused!

 

3) When I asked for a settlement figure I was given this (paraphrased) response:

 

"The outstanding amount is currently £960; the settlement would be £936"

 

When I enquired further:

 

"the actual amount outstanding is £700 but the extra £230 odd is for 'admin' charges and interest..."

 

If I pay it off next month the amount will have increased due to the way the interest is calculated.

 

I took the loan out for a short-term period - I had been working in Spain for about 18 months, so my UK bank balance was 0 and credit history was pretty poor, which is why I put up with the 49% APR, but I feel I am being royally screwed over here. I can imagine I have been quite naive, but I think I innocently assumed that a large company like this would play fair!

 

I am currently going through the process with Lloyds trying to get my charges refunded etc but have no clue where to start with Black Horse. I think it may turn out that one of the sub-clauses gives them the right to my eternal soul.

 

Can someone suggest where to start in clearing up this mess? I am now in a position to be able to pay back the loan but which I thought was pretty much paid off - now I find I still have 2/3 of the loan still outstanding after nearly 2 years with apparently another 41 months to go!
