    • What you have uploaded is a letter with daft empty threats from third-party paper tigers.  Just ignore it. What we need to see is the original invoice you received last October or November.
    • Thanks for posting the CPR contents. i do wish you hadn't blanked out the dates and times since at times they can be relevant . Can you please repost including times and dates. They say that they sent a copy of  the original  PCN that they sent to the Hirer  along with your hire agreement documents. Did you receive them and if so can you please upload the original PCN without erasing dates and times. If they did include  all the paperwork they said, then that PCN is pretty near compliant except for their error with the discount time. In the Act it isn't actually specified but to offer a discount for 14 days from the OFFENCE is a joke. the offence occurred probably a couple of months prior to you receiving your Notice to Hirer.  Also the words in parentheses n the Act have been missed off. Section 14 [5][c] (c)warn the hirer that if, after the period of 21 days beginning with the day after that on which the notice to hirer is given, the amount of unpaid parking charges referred to in the notice to keeper under paragraph 8(2)(f) or 9(2)(f) (as the case may be) has not been paid in full, the creditor will (if any applicable requirements are met) have the right to recover from the hirer so much of that amount as remains unpaid; Though it states "if any applicable ...." as opposed to "if all applicable......" in Section 8 or 9. Maybe the Site could explain what the difference between the two terms mean if there is a difference. Also on your claim form they keeper referring to you as the driver or the keeper.  You are the Hirer and only the Hirer is responsible for the charge EVEN IF THEY WEREN'T THE DRIVER. So they cannot pursue the driver and nowhere in the Hirer section of the Act is the hirer ever named as the keeper so NPC are pursuing the wrong person.  
    • This is simply a scam site.  It's been shown to be a scam in the national press and on national TV. Please fill in the the forum sticky and upload the invoice you've received. In fact what you have is an invoice, not a fine, a private company doesn't have the power to issue fines.

    • 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.

Yep. Time to get on with your life. If it's sb they'll start offering discounts etx. Just laugh it off and ignore unless they're stupid enough to get a claimform.

 

Can.I ask, have you ever wrote or responded in writing them since 2008 saying the account is yours

 

Thanks for reply firstly I have never replied to Cabot I am certain my deceased partner never replied.in fact I never heard from any dca for years. The only time I have written to them was requesting my CCA I don't think that has started the clock ticking, when they first wrote to me they offer a discount for quick settlement .so let's see what they send next

Doesn't matter one jot if you acknowledged it over the phone, it has to be in writing, anyhow, I'd forget about it, it's SB and they will drop it like a brick and flog it to some other parasitic DCA to chance their arm 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!

Discounts mean lemon debt.

 

Ignore them. Cabot have just bought a huge number of unenforceable debts and are trying anything they can to milk money from them before they are forced to resell them

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..

 

 

If my advice helps you, click the star icon at the bottom of my post and feel free to say thanks

hello again,

i have received a letter from cabot, it has been december 21 last year since they last mailed me.

 

this time they have sent me a original signed credit agreement terms and conditions statements.

they go on to say, that i must phone them to agree a payment plan,

 

 

they quote..

 

we consider that the agreement is now enforacable and therefore we are entitled to obtain a ccj against you, we would prefer a reypayment plan to settle your account.

 

unquote...

 

the date of me signing the original agreement was on 18 july 2008

so what is the next step ?

thanks for replies..

 

remember last year i did request the cca and sent them a pound postal order..

you'd get a claimform in the post from the court.

 

and the judge would laugh himself off his chair as they have sent a statement with a payment last made more than 6yrs ago on it.

 

ofcourse carboot will swear blind that every judge is wrong and its from the defaulted date...

nothing to do with un-en

the debt is statute barred.

 

pers i'd simply ignore them unless you get a claimform.

 

if you wanted to

you could start a whole new game of letter tennis

 

quoting CONC rules to them and forcing them to stop writing.

but I doubt they'd listen

cabot never do.

Have you moved since having the account?

 

Lowells are very good at issuing claims to old addresses to try and get an undefended, rubberstamped ccj.

 

Should this happen, you would then have the problem of setting aside at a cost of £255 which you would be unlikely to get back.

HI just a final point, had another letter this morning it was a statement of my account covering sept 2015 to march this year.. no payments..

it states on the statement original lender VANQUIS, agreement date 11 AUGUST 2008 and date assigned 8 MARCH 2011

 

now am i right in thinking the date assigned is when they took over from Vanquis ?

 

and the original agreement was signed by me at the address i am at now, but soon after i signed it i moved to stoke on trent for a few years, then i moved to kent for 3 years, and now back at original address, but on their papers they also have my stoke on trent address, and my present one.

which again shows the importance of informing them of your current address..

 

 

yes assigned date is sold date

it just a std letter you have [statement]

which they must send if they consider themselves the owner of a debt.

If they know the debt is unenforceable and your not going to pay. Why waste their time and mine in sending letters and all their crap

because its cheap and 99% of people have no idea that a DCA is NOT A Bailiff

and can actually do bugger all to anyone bar go for a CCJ

which means they have no more legal powers than you or I

 

 

but they blindly cough up like mugs.
