    • I have just read the smaller print on their signs. It says that you can pay at the end of your parking session. given that you have ten minutes grace period the 35 seconds could easily have been taken up with walking back to your car, switching on the engine and then driving out. Even in my younger days when I used to regularly exceed speed limits, I doubt I could have done that in 35 seconds even when I  had a TR5.

    • 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.

    • 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.

PPI Claim with a statute barred debt owned by DCA

Hi all,

 

I used to have a credit card and paid a large amount in PPI for several years.

I'd now like to claim back that PPI as, not only was it forced upon me,

but it was useless in my circumstances anyway (self-employed, claim was denied).

 

Unfortunately, that credit card had a large outstanding balance when my income plummeted and was ultimately passed through several debt collection agencies.

The debt is now owned by a notorious DCA (statements mention a date of "assignment").

 

the debt is statute barred, I haven't acknowledged the debt or serviced it in any way ..

. although I haven't written to the DCA, so I still receive endless letters about it.

 

The problem is,

I've read about a lot of PPI claims being successful, only for the refund to be sent to the DCA.

I'd rather not make a claim at all, than do anything which will profit this particular lying, manipulative, deceitful, apology for humanity.

 

So, with all that in mind,

I thought it would be worth getting in touch with the DCA and trying to settle the debt for a tiny amount.

The idea being that with the debt satisfied, the DCA would have no claim to any PPI refund.

 

This worries me though, as I've read about the clock being reset on a statute barred debt,

by either an acknowledgement of the debt or a payment of the debt.

 

So ... umm ... that's about where I'm at.

 

Does the DCA have the right to a PPI refund with a SB'd debt?

Is it worth trying to settle the debt? Would this make a difference for PPI claim purposes?

Is it risky to contact a DCA offering settlement? Would this reset the time limit?

 

It would be great to hear of anyone else who's been through this situation,

particularly with barclaycard, and obviously any advice anyone has generally would be gratefully received.

 

Thanks!

 

Bob.

Since its sold on, the full reclaim must go to you. The dca cannot touch it. If they do, get reporting it.

Any advice i give is my own and is based solely on personal experience. If in any doubt about a situation , please contact a certified legal representative or debt counsellor..

Once a debt is SB NOTHING can ever unbar it.

 

Although I am a little rusty as to reclaiming PPI on a SB account?

Who ever heard of someone getting a job at the Jobcentre? The unemployed are sent there as penance for their sins, not to help them find work!

Thanks Bazooka, you echo exactly what dx100uk told me - once statute barred, always statute barred. Unfortunately there's suggestion otherwise out there and, frankly, I didn't know who to believe. It'll come as no surprise to you, but - CAG 1, ROW 0. I'll hang my infidel head in shame ...

 

Limitation Act 1980, section 29, part 7:

 

" .. a right of action, once barred by this Act, shall not be revived by any subsequent acknowledgment or payment."

 

Excellent!

 

I'm still trying to get my head around the possibility of a PPI claim being paid to either a DCA or being retained (offset) by the original creditor. In my case, the PPI claim would be less than the SB'd debt, but more than the debt were it not for some very heavy interest and penalties. I don't know if that makes a difference, but i've just read Stacey30's "Shop Direct Want To Offset PPI To DCA - help" thread (where a company buys back a debt to then offset a PPI refund before selling it back to the DCA), and there's clearly more to consider than I realised. Maybe settlement with the DCA, given it can be negotiated without fear of reprisal, is the way to go? Would a full and final settlement stop the potential of a PPI refund being offset?

Wait!.

 

The debt is SB, end of.

 

There can never be any suggestion of a F&F payment on a debt that is time barred.

 

AFAIK, ppi is a separate agreement with it's own T&C's and % rates, so cannot/should not be used to offset on another agreement, even if it was set up & arranged in conjunction with that 'other' agreement, technically they are two separate accounts.

 

Like I say, PPI claims on running accts are easy, but claims on SB accounts I'm not clear on......

Who ever heard of someone getting a job at the Jobcentre? The unemployed are sent there as penance for their sins, not to help them find work!

the claim for PPI will be to BC

 

 

we have seen BC buy back debts and offset the PPI

which they can do even on an SB'd debt.

 

 

in E&W the debt still exists even if SB'd

just cant threaten or enforce in a court

they can ASK for payment

you can ask them to go away

crazy situation = a Debt buyer buys an alleged debt which they state they own outright right/responsibilities of the said debt, then if PPI in the figure they bought they say it is the OCs responsibilities,? they bought the rights and responsibilities sounds a bit double dutch

Ok cool thanks DX

 

I have one last question for you...

 

My partner had 2 CCJ's placed but they were never paid as the claimant never came looking to recover the money themselves, only very loosely by a DCA.

is it still safe to claim PPI in their situation?

 

Believe me we paid more than we owed by some tune so trying to get some back..

[as it goes to the trustee]

 

 

bankrupt or IVA or DRO etc

also. if things get a bit tricky, for whatever reason, on a bought account, seems they sometimes just send it back to the o/c. some kind of return option maybe?

must be a clause in sale agreement!

it would be interesting to know. there seems some cases where they've 'given up' and sent the bought 'account' back to the o/c?

maybe there is a dca/creditor whistleblower out there who can enlighten us as to the usual terms of a sale/assignment.

MMMMMMM

 

Maybe I shouldn't claim it back?????

i see what you mean. re post #7.

if its barred its barred, so that wont effect things.

but, if they take it back, award ppi recompense and can offset it on a barred debt, then you wont actually get any payment or 'recompense' (as its barred anyway which doesnt require settling)

you need to read carefully

if the original creditor buys back the debt

if its been sold

then yes they could offset the PPI

as said a statute barred debt in E&W simply means no-one can do court.

OK cool, I think I've got it now..

Excuse my dumbness!!

So if I claim ppi refund in a stature barred or CCJ old debt the worst that can happen is I don't get a penny and it gets offset against the outstanding debt?

But they can't reopen or chase again for the debt?
