    • Thank-you dx for your feedback. That is the reason I posted my opinion, because I am trying to learn more and this is one of the ways to learn, by posting my opinions and if I am incorrect then being advised of the reasons I am incorrect. I am not sure if you have educated me on the points in my post that would be incorrect. However, you are correct on one point, I shall refrain from posting on any other thread other than my own going forward and if you think my post here is unhelpful, misleading or in any other way inappropriate, then please do feel obliged to delete it but educate me on the reason why. To help my learning process, it would be helpful to know what I got wrong other than it goes against established advice considering the outcome of a recent court case that seemed to suggest it was dismissed due to an appeal not being made at the first stage. Thank-you.   EDIT:  Just to be clear, I am not intending to go against established advice by suggesting that appeals should ALWAYS be made, just my thoughts on the particular case of paying for parking and entering an incorrect VRN. Also, I continue to be grateful for any advice you give on my own particular case.  
    • you can have your humble opinion.... You are very new to all this private parking speculative invoice game you have very quickly taken it upon yourself to be all over this forum, now to the extent of moving away from your initial thread with your own issue that you knew little about handling to littering the forum and posting on numerous established and existing threads, where advice has already been given or a conclusion has already resulted, with your theories conclusions and observations which of course are very welcomed. BUT... in some instances, like this one...you dont quite match the advice that the forum and it's members have gathered over a very long consensual period given in a tried and trusted consistent mannered thoughtful approach. one could even call it forum hi-jacking and that is becoming somewhat worrying . dx
    • Yeah, sorry, that's what I meant .... I said DCBL because I was reading a few threads about them discontinuing claims and getting spanked in court! Meant  YOU  Highview !!!  🖕 The more I read this forum and the more I engage with it's incredible users, the more I learn and the more my knowledge expands. If my case gets to court, the Judge will dismiss it after I utter my first sentence, and you DCBL and Highview don't even know why .... OMG! .... So excited to get to court!
    • Yep, I read that and thought about trying to find out what the consideration and grace period is at Riverside but not sure I can. I know they say "You must tell us the specific consideration/grace period at a site if our compliance team or our agents ask what it is"  but I doubt they would disclose it to the public, maybe I should have asked in my CPR 31.14 letter? Yes, I think I can get rid of 5 minutes. I am also going to include a point about BPA CoP: 13.2 The reference to a consideration period in 13.1 shall not apply where a parking event takes place. I think that is Deception .... They giveth with one hand and taketh away with the other! One other point to note, the more I read, the more I study, the more proficient I feel I am becoming in this area. Make no mistake DBCL if you are reading this, when I win in court, if I have the grounds to make any claims against you, such as breach of GDPR, I shall be doing so.

    • 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.

Hello All,

 

Today I have received a claim form from CCBC.

 

 

Here is the fun part...

 

 

It is from a credit card I had in 2000.

 

 

Long story short,

I lost my job, got in a pickle and ended up (stupidly) going to a "get debt free within 5 years" company.

 

 

The company then left me in a big pickle after telling me they wont be able to get me debt free within 5 years (3 months before the 5 years were up)

 

 

The last payment they will have had from me would have been around Nov 2008 - Feb 2009.

 

 

I checked my credit history on Experian in August last year and this isn't showing?

 

 

Any ideas?

 

Do I reply? Will this risk sending things back to square one?

If the last payment was in 2007 then you might be able to use the Statute Barred defence.

 

 

 

Your timeline is ...

 

Issue date 27.02.2015 + 5 days for service =03.03.2015 + 14 days to acknowledge = 17.03.2015 + 14 days to submit defence = 31.03.2015.

Afternoon,

 

Thank you for your advice so far. I have been digging back through all the information I have (thankfully I kept it) and I have found a few bits of conflicting information re the amount and dates.

 

I have found a breakdown of transactions which I requested in 2009. The other is a letter from Cabot which states that they have not received a payment since April 2007?

 

I am going to try and look back through old bank statements but if I can't find the right one, which information do I use?

The following defence is all you need if it is SB

1 The Claimant's claim was issued on (insert date).

2 The Defendant contends that the Claimant's claim so issued is a claim in contract and is statute barred pursuant to the provisions of section 5 of the limitation act 1980.

.

If, which is denied, the claimant contends that the Defendant is in breach of the alleged contract, in excess of 6 years have elapsed since the date on which any cause of action for breach accrued for the benefit of the Claimant.

.

3 The Claimant's claim to be entitled to payment of £x or any other sum, or relief of any kind is denied.

.

Hello All,

 

I thought a little update was required...

 

I did what was advised (thank you for your help!!)

 

 

On 02/04/15 I received a reply from Mortimer Clarke Solicitors.

 

 

In short Cabot are saying I made a payment on 10/07/09.

 

 

I called straight away asking for Cabot to present proof of this.

 

 

I also confirmed to the Solicitor that I hold a substantial back catalogue of statements/history, including unused paying in slips etc.

I explained that any payments I did do were via card only so that they were tracable.

 

I received a confirmation letter on 13/04/15 that they have requested proof of this payment in Aug 09

and that while they await further instruction the matter is on hold.

 

I have since heard nothing... Do I call and chase?

 

 

Do I question why I was forced within a time constrain to reply

 

 

yet now I'm left hanging whilst their client searches for apparent proof??

let them wriggle

 

 

its not a good idea to go ringing these people

unless you record the calls.

as you'll have no paper trail of what was actually said

if they ever went to court

Hello All,

Just when I thought Cabot had crawled back under the rock from which they came they are back...

 

I have received a letter from Mortimer Clarke Solicitors completely ignoring the fact that I have asked them to send me proof that this is not statute barred

and are still asking me to pay!

 

 

Am I within my rights to reply explaining this is harassment?

 

Thank you for your help

What you really want from yhem is a notice of discontinuance and confirmation that as the account id SB they no longer have any legal right to chase you.

 

i would write back asking for them to prove it or push off or you will escalate it to the FCA, give them 7 days only, theyve had months to respond to your request and then escalate it.

as long as they don't threaten court they are entitled to ask for payment

as you are to ask them to go away.
