    • 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.
    • 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.

proves CQ own them

 

it good in a way as the OC would not have sold the debts

if there was not something WRONG with them.

 

so good news there.

 

what are the defaulted dates plase from the summary?

 

as for the CCA etc.

 

online accounts esp catalogues, their T&C's [as do the adverts] state that your first order acts as your acceptance you are entering into a CCA.

 

if they were opened way before apr 2007 then typically the OC would have sent CCA's out for you to sign and return.

 

if/if not you did/didn't get/do this, sadly with your current orders I don't think will get you anywhere.

 

however, the sar DATA in terms of the statements will prob open a whole can of worms for them

and you'll be able to discover why they've sold the debts.

 

odds on, it'll be PENALTY charges/PPI/something else wrong as to why they

don't want to risk could so have written the debts off against tax

and sold them on a phishing list.

 

lets see what develops

 

opening dates

and defaulted dates

for the accounts from the cra file please

Ok so Isme - opening date of the account was 22/05/08 and default date was 28/08/12 and

 

Littlewoods the opening date was 22/05/08 and default date was 27/11/12.

 

I honestly don't think the accounts were both opened on the same day but can't remember sadly.

 

Thanks

Oh dear - not good then.

 

What confuses me is that with the Littlewoods account whereby I received the copy of the CCA,

Capquest have done the usual phone calls and harassment via any which way possible

 

but with Isme and no returned CCA they have done lots of phishing letters to previous addresses but no direct contact to this address

until the letter from CallServe threatening a doorstep visit

- am confused as to why they haven't just written to this address

- any ideas on that one?

 

With the SAR - I will be sorting out the figures for the Littlewoods account as I have the statements here to go through

, is it worth sending an SAR for Isme at this stage or see what happens in the meantime

, do you have any suggestions. Sorry for all the questions

- it's so worrying with all of this.

 

Thanks

even IF IF IF they do get in dourt

that sar is a must.

the comms log will be a good read.

Thanks, will go through the statements for Littlewoods and read through everything. What do I need to log from the statement - just all the charges that have been added on over the whole period of the account? Thanks

yes fixec sum PENALTY charges [late/over/letter/debt management/phonecall]

 

they sometimes hide them as admin fees.

 

you'll spot them though

they'll be a repetitive fixed sum

like £12/£20/£25 etc etc]

Hi,

I'm not expecting an immediate reply seeing as it's New Years Eve but

 

just wondering if anyone could advise how Capquest are with settlement figures and if they negotiate.

 

We have received an offer of settlement of half the owed amount on one of the account.

(still waiting to get some charges hopefully removed and this is also the account we didn't ever receive proof of signature for),

 

they want £1900 to settle (we haven't got that but may be able to borrow from a family member if lots less),

 

is it worth writing back with a counter offer do you know?

 

Thanks in advance.

We have actually had no contact over this account,

 

about a year of letters going to my Mum's looking for us but nothing to our address and

 

then letters started appearing threatening court etc

 

which they have done now saying they are preparing the paperwork for court proceedings but

 

then further down the letter they are offering the settlement.

 

Do they acutally need to have the initial proof of signature on the account to proceed do you know.

 

This is so confusing as we are also tackling a previous Littlewoods account with them too and trying to reclaim charges,

 

they sent proof of signature with that account but not this one - very odd.

 

Any idea what we should do,

 

we haven't actually tried reclaiming the charges yet although I have the statements etc to go through

(I have been ill for weeks and in and out of hospital, all better now so ready to get this sorted!)

 

Thanks for replying and sorry for yet more questions.

just std threats

 

the discount is the give away.

 

scan up that letter.

 

**you can post up images/letters by this method immediately..you don't need 10 posts**

.

set your default scan page size to A4 less than 300DPI [150 will do]

scan the required letters/agreements/sheets - as a picture[jpg] file

don't forget you can use a mobile phone or a digital camera too!!

'

BUT......

ENSURE: remove all pers info inc. barcodes etc

but leave all monetary figures and dates.

The accounts are in my husbands name hence the phone calls at work

although have no idea how they got hold of his number but that's another story!

 

Yes, sent the letter (thank goodness for the help from here)

and finally received a letter advising of no further phone calls

but I just don't trust them to not try again at some point if no response to letters,

 

my husband works for a registered charity and it would be awful if they found out about any of this.

 

Thanks with regard to sorting the letter so can be posted, much appreciated.

 

Will not respond and see what happens next

.Just one more questions,

 

I am going to be sorted the charges for the other Littlewoods account which is also with Capquest,

 

total owing is approx £750 and think approx £300 are charges,

 

have all the paperwork to go through still.

 

nyway, once I have listed down all the charges what do I do next, do I ask for them back via Littlewoods as Capquest now own the debt?

 

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

 

 

Wondering if anyone could help with this.

 

 

Capquest purchased a shop direct account with a debt of around £2,500.

 

 

We did the official request for proof of the agreement and charges etc but never got a copy of this back

 

 

did get lots of info regarding orders that had been made at the time of having the catalogue so can't really deny ownership of the account!

 

 

Drysden now have the account,

balance is now over £4,000 and

 

 

just received a letter today from the County Court Business Centre stating I have 14 days to reply

including wanting income and expenditure etc etc.

 

 

Having been on the phone to family in a panic they have asked if the company may take a lower payment in full and final settlement

but not sure how much to offer or how much they are likely to accept,

 

 

not sure if by offering something they will assume I have more to offer (which I don't).

 

 

Can anyone help please,

 

 

am in a total panic with the mention of court etc and a possible judgement too.

 

 

My main question is how much they would be likely to accept to get them away for good.

 

 

Many thanks in advance.
