    • Thank you all   JK, I agree; if they were to accept my full claim today, then the interest would be around 8-9 pounds. If I were them, I would have offered to pay the interest and said no to the 12 pounds for the letters. These have not been mentioned, which is my mistake.   As you pointed out, if the judge were to award at 4% and I did not get the letters, I would get less.   Bank, thank you. I do hear what you are saying. If I am to continue with this, then I will need to pay an additional trial fee of £59. If I win everything, then great, but if I win less the claim and court fee, then I lose out. I am not sure what the judge will think about the interest. I think we have to remember that I won the item and, therefore, did not pay a penny for it. Yes, I have had to purchase an additional one, but maybe the judge will hold this against me. I am content that this is a win. I have not signed any non-disclosure clauses, and they do not ask for this either in their offer. 
    • Are you saying that both businesses were closed? Yet you stayed there for over two hours. . If both were closed than to charge £100 is a penalty since Horizon had no legitimate interest in keeping spaces clear for the company. sake as there were no customers..
    • Well you would think that would be the case. Sadly i doubt there is one honest broker within the BPA or IPC and most of their members. they are there to take as much money as they can from motorists regardless of PoFA.   Take the Consideration  period for example. This is a minimum of 5 minutes to allow motorists to find a parking space, read the T&Cs giving them enough time to leave the car park without having to pay if they decide not stay. Simple. Well it would be simple if it were any other company than BPA [or IPC who have now fallen into line with BPA's "reasoning"].  You see if you decide to stay then despite the fact that during the Consideration period when you still weren't classed as parking , once you accept the terms [with all the underhand little tricks designed to trip you up] that five minutes is now included in your parking time. [No not the parking period because the poor dears who ANPR cameras are apparently unable to work out what the exact parking period is since their ever so infallible cameras [yeah right] are incapable of tracking cars once they are in a car park]. After 12 years they still haven't worked out a way of doing it. Some of them fudge and the majority [with a wink fro their ATA [Accredited Trade Association though it should be Discredited Trade Association] just ignore the parking period all together. This is what BPA claim is the Consideration period Entrance grace period: This is for when motorists enter a car park, read the signs and/or attempt to make payment then leave. In these instances, motorists must be offered a reasonable amount of time before an operator takes enforcement action, but we do not define this time, due to the variance in size and layout of car parks. An entrance grace period for a small, permit-only car park could be below 5 minutes, whereas for a large multi-story this could be 15. But  heaven forbid that anyone should leave 6 or 7 minutes after entering  their member's car parks. . They are dutybound to receive a PCN. This is regardless of how busy the car park would be [Christmas eve for example ] .Our minimum is their maximum. Moving on to Grace periods. Again BPA gobble degook. Exit grace period: This must be a minimum of 10 minutes and this is when a motorist intends to stay – for example, if you paid for an hour but spent a total of 1 hour 10 minutes on-site, you will not receive a PCN. It is important to note that the grace period is not a free period of parking however and should not be advertised as such. If that ten minutes in not free parking what is it. their members all think they can send out PCNs for anything after 1 minute after the exact time never mind ten minutes. Our snotty letters have stood the test of time. Do not try to reinvent the wheel -especially with DCBL . They don't even know what a non compliant PCN is for goodness sake! You already know more about PoFA then they do. However if you include that they will find a way to disabuse the Judge of your logic and the law. So don't give them the chance.  I am sure you have the Parking Prankster going on about the rogues misusing the rules on planning permission by lying and stating that they had "retrospective permission". There is no such thing in English law yet Judges were swallowing it until one Judge pulled up Parking Eye about one of their Witness Statements alluding to "rp" by claiming it was "tantamount to perjury".  It wasn't tantamount,it was plain and simple perjury.

    • 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.

Hopefully I can get a bit of clarity of where I actually stand.

 

Having racked up a bit of debt in younger years I had little choice but to default.

 

Due to circumstances I simply stopped paying (although I did enter some dialogue for a short time

but the overly aggressive stance of the creditors meant it never progressed)

- this would have been circa 2007/8.

 

Since then I've had a fairly troubled life

- never having any money to pay off the debts and simply ignoring any letters sent.

 

I've not heard from most for 18 months or longer.

 

I'm now in a position where I want and am able to sort my life out,

took the plunge and ordered a credit report from both Noddle and Equifax.

 

Both are showing as clear, with no debts, defaults or CCJ's showing.

The only thing listed is my basic bank account.

 

Am I correct in thinking these debts are statute barred or are they likely to come back and haunt me?

 

Also, what impact are they going to have in the future,

for example will I ever be able to get a mortgage or even a mobile phone on contract?

 

Thank you in advance for any advice.

if they are not showing on your cedit file they cant harm you.

 

debts are statute barred after 6yrs in E&W

and GONE in 5yrs if you took out the debts whilst resident in Scotland

 

creditors or debt buyers can after 6yrs in E&W can 'ask' for payment

 

you can equally ask them to ... well you know what I mean

 

go enjoy your debt free life

Thanks for the reply although I am still a little confused by it all.

 

If the debts and CCJ are not showing on my credit file

(have looked at both Noddle and Equifax)

does this mean they have passed the 6 year threshold and are statute barred?

 

I ask as I received a letter yesterday regarding one debt which was notification of a change of name of the company

who currently owns the debt (Aktiv Kapital) and a statement of account.

 

Looking back through the letters I have regarding this

no payment has been made since 2007

so I would assume it is statue barred and I can simply reply in writing stating this?

 

I really don't want to go through all the stress once again as I had hoped to put it all behind and move on.

If the last payment was 2007, I would suggest it is well and truely Statue Barred. There is a letter in the library you can sent AK.

 

Remember a CCJ never becomes Stat Barred. but if they have not collected on it for over 6 years, they would need permission from the Court to reinstate the CCJ. I have never heard of one being reinstated all the time I have spent on this site.

 

Don't be surprised if a 'phantom' payment appears from whichever company are chasing you.

 

If you need a link to the letter, just shout.

The CCJ is something I have always paid and will do until such a point I might be able to negotiate a settlement payment (assuming I can with a CCJ?).

 

I seem to recall that Horwich (who hold the debt/CCJ) did offer me a reduced payment offer but this was a long time ago

 

All other debts were only taken to defaults - from memory not a single company ever threatened to take any further action than this / send a man round!

As far as I know they were named on the CCJ action but I have no record of it.

 

Nothing will be sent unless I have to (court action etc).

 

Again, all of this just shows how murky the world of finance and debt is.

Seems I'll have to go back to keeping my head down and existing on the fringes of society.

 

 

Can't be dealing with playing the game for another goddamn who knows how many years.

 

 

The maddening thing is that if they were less aggressive and actually listened to people they would probably recover more money.

Do you mean Horwich Farrelly , solicitors [of a sort] to Robinson Way [or Lewis or other branch of Hoist Group]? How long you been feeding these creatures?

 

The very same.

According to the court papers I found the CCJ was issued on the 3rd of May, 2008

so been paying them the princely sum of £4 per month since then.

 

 

As the debt was bumped up to £1400 due to 'charges'

I'm still a long way from ever getting near to paying it off.

Reckon there is still best part of £1100 owing.

You asked about getting credit again.

 

Various ways of demonstrating a track record include

 

- obtaining a credit repair credit card but ONLY if you have the will / discipline to pay monthly in full , failing which steer well clear

 

- taking out a mobile phone contract but keep an eagle eye on call / data usage

 

- asking your basic bank account provider whether they will up

you to a full current account [but not a fee-charging frills one]

 

If your salary level is sufficient, you would probably qualify for any of the above, as your credit file now seems to be in the clear.

 

Don't go near PDLs or forget your CCJ payments, no matter What, or you'll slide right back to the bottom of the pole

To be honest they were probably as above board as they were ever going to be.

 

 

Then again, I didn't know as much about the system as I do now.

 

 

The bump up in costs was mainly due to court fees and a lump sum for 'interest'.

 

 

Although it could well have had PPI included,

I really have no idea.

 

Some of the other debts I had were made up of charges

(I recall a £20 Natwest debt becoming close to £1000 this way).

 

 

Plus there were loans (with HSBC for example)

- even though the original accounts are going to be close to 10 years old,

do they still fall within the time limit for PPI?

No time limit to misselling compensation claims.

 

To try to find what you've paid , make SAR. It's one request per group not per account, so your HSBC one would cover your HFC as well as HSBC account itself. But you should mention this , not just say "all accounts", as records may not have been integrated. You may struggle to get such old information, but it does often turn up if you kick up a fuss .

I will look into sending a SAR. If I can tie in the HFC with HSBC stuff that would good. Probably worth doing the same for Natwest and MBNA (although this one does feel like prodding the hornets nest somewhat).

How do I find out the best address to send each SAR to? Looking at the Data Protection Register, HSBC have 20 plus addresses. Natwest have 5 or 6. Is there a list of the most common ones anywhere?

A little off topic but I don't want to start a new thread.

 

 

What happened to Horwich Farrelly as a DCA.

 

 

I have a CCJ supposedly with but I can't find out anything about it.

 

 

Have tried Trustonline search which doesn't come back with anything.

 

 

I just want to see what I still owe (if anything) and get it sorted.

 

 

The CCJ is over 10 years old (been paying £4 per month) but I have no idea where that money is going or to who.
