    • 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.

So after a routine check of my credit file this morning I found 2 new entries from motor mile finance, extremely surprised as I have been regularly checking my credit file for the last 6 years. They are supposedly 2 defaults from 2008, I have no idea who this company is or have I ever received any correspondence from them. I cleared all my debt in 2009 and worked on rebuilding my credit, I got a mortgage in 2012 and now have a good credit score. I contacted Experian to query this and await a response. Both entries are listed on the same day in 2008 but I have absolutely no idea what they are for or have ever heard of this company. What do I do? Experian say the defaults will be removed next month but where does this leave me?

Hi

Unfortunately, MMF seem to think they have carte blanche to do what they like with credit records. Why they have added these defaults to your file is unknown.

 

Creditors have a duty to keep data records up to date so there may be a possibility that the original creditor defaulted you but failed to record it on your file so MMF have now done so. If you negotiated a Full and Final settlement with any of your creditors without getting confirmation that the remaining amount is not passed on, this may explain why.

 

It may be an error and MMF have recorded the data on your name rather than the real debtor.

 

The bigger question is: Do you really want to bother with this as the default will fall off next month. If you need to get more credit in the next month then it will be a problem but if not, then let it go.

 

You can write to MMF and demand an explanation but don't expect a sensible answer. This company come across as bully boys.

The default is due to fall off on the 7th august so not long, I have never received any letters or calls from them so after this date am I right in thinking not to worry about anything?

Only another 10 days then, Once they have fallen off, it should be as if nothing has happened.

 

As you have contacted Experian, they should give some response. To be on the safe side, you would be wise to check the other CRAs as well just to make sure the dates are the same.

Ojo!!! (OR Watch Out)

 

MMF can and WILL mess about with things they are not supposed to... So it makes me wonder if itll be on longer than just "10 Days"

Watch your credit file... Lets see what happens...

 

We could do with some help from you.

  • 1 month later...

so the defaults have dropped off my credit file as expected however...they have now written to me saying I owe them 2 separate amounts. Surely as now the defaults have passed the are statue barred? Also I have no idea where they've come from.

 

 

Do I ignore or should I send them a statue barred letter?

You could do either. With MMF, you could quite easily ignore them but they are quite determined to get their pound of flesh so to stop them you could send an SB letter. No doubt when you do, they will write back saying it isn't but don't supply the necessary proof.

If you ceased payment prior to the time the default was registered originally in 2008, then I would think that the debts are statute barred.

In the credit file entry there is usually an explanation as to who the original creditor is or the type of account e.g. Loan/credit card.

 

 

What date in 2008 were these accounts defaulted.

 

 

It most certainly not safe to ignore MMF.

I have seen 2 cases recently where court action has been started when debtors have ignored MMF

 

 

Send a statute barred letter to Mr Neil Petty the MD of MMF use signed for post and check delivery.
