    • 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.

    • 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 Guys,

I just received a claim form from Northampton BC regarding Lowell Porfolio/HBOS debt purchased.

 

the amount is under £2000.

 

This was a balance from the unsecured loan took over 10years ago

but due to no job i stop this payment about 6years back

and that was my last contact with HBOS

and i have never had any contact with BC or Lowell.

Please what should i do?

It appears that your debt has the potential to be 'statute barred' under the Limitation Act. More info on what that means here:

I'm going to flag this thread to the rest of the team, let's see what we can do to help.

 

Hold fire :)

Check credit reference files for this account, Equifax and Experian have free 30 day trials (cancel before end of trial period) Noddle from Call Credit is free but not always up to date.

The files should give you some idea of the relevant dates.

Yo

Okay, I will do that and get back to you, should i look for the time it was put in my record.

Also should I wait and get the information before I complete the claim form.

On the claim form, Lowell claimed that the debit was purchased/assigned sometimes last year.

Thanks!

You need to look at the default date it will give an indication as to the status of the debt, e.g. the default date can be up to 6 months after the cause of action i.e. The last payment made, so from what you have posted so far it seems this may already be S Barred.

 

 

Lowell are chasing a lot of these lately.

 

 

Get the date and come back. I have some effective suggestions as to how to deal with Lowell.

I would have a look at the National debt-line guidance posted earlier in this thread for a reliable idea of when the SB clock starts to run, it will not be on the last payment and may be some time after.

 

The notice on you credit file is also no indicator of when this may be, they can register the account as being in default before or after cause of action for the purposes of the statute of limitation.

If you are going to defend you ned to acknowledge the claim in order to give you extra time to prepare.

 

Have you sent a request off for a copy of the agreement under section 77(if it is a fixed sum loan) if not I would do so.

 

What was the term of the loan and when did you take it out, did you ever receive a default and/ or termination notice ?

Hi Brigadier2JCS, i don't think equifax are helpful they are asking for proof of identity by post or online submission. should i send it to them and is it safe?

 

 

The CRAs are all 'safe' usual ID is is a Debit or Credit Card registered at your current address.

So you need to find your last credit date to the current account....in view of the above I would surmise it has racked up unfair charges.

You need to get the section 77 request off ASAP, perhaps someone on here will link you to a template,

 

You say the loan was taken out in 2003 what period was it over(how many months)
