    • How does one obtain the permit? The permit team number is only open between the hours of 9am to 3pm Mon - Fri. It says on the website, To obtain an additional 2 hours, the driver must pay a tariff of £3.00 + booking fees in person at our Security Hut, is that how you get the permit also, from the security hut? What a rigmaroll that would be but maybe just another step to take to try and catch people out?
    • Anotheruser0000 bear in mind that not all Judges are equally versed in the PoFA regulations. Fortunately now most of them are but sometimes a Judge from a higher Court sits in who is well experienced  in Law but not PoFA. and so they sometimes go "offkey" because their knowledge can raise a different set of arguments and solutions. It does seem particularly unfair  when the decision is so  bad . it can also be that in some situations the motorist being a lay person is not sufficiently know ledgeable to be able to counter a Judge's decisions in a way that a barrister could.
    • The argument about the date of receipt is now dead because the PCN  does not comply with the wording  of the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012 Schedule 4.  First reason Section 9 [2] [e]  "state that the creditor does not know both the name of the driver and a current address for service for the driver and invite the keeper—(i)to pay the unpaid parking charges;" Second Reason Section 9 [2][a] "specify the vehicle, the relevant land on which it was parked and the period of parking to which the notice relates;" All your PCN does is mark the time you entered and left the car park. It does not include all the myriad things you do in between-driving into the car park, looking for a parking space-perhaps a disabled space or  parent and Child place@ getting the children or disabled person out of the car then going shopping. Coming back; loading the car with shopping [, getting the children or disabled into the car, taking the trolley back to the store; driving to the exit perhaps stopping to let vehicles/pedestrians cross in front of you etc. so subtracting the driving times from before and after parking can make quite a difference from their time to the actual period parking time. So the upshot is now that only the driver is responsible for paying the PCN and the keeper is not liable at all even if the name of the driver is never known by Nexus so well done for not appealing. You obviously want to keep it that way to make it very difficult for them to win in Court if it ever goes that far. Although your question is now moot since  the same objective has been achieved by the non compliant PCN [ie no keeper liability] just  about the only way to dispute the timing of the PCN would be if one kept the envelope and there was a discernible date stamp on it that did not match the date on the PCN. There is a new Act coming out [and it cannot come quickly enough ] and one of the things required is that parking companies will have to prove the date of sending out their PCNs. We are not the only ones who sometimes doubt the veracity of their dates particularly as the later it is sent [unlawfully] the shorter the period motorists have to benefit [?] from the reduced payment. I haven't seen it on your posts but do you know how long you are permitted to park for free?
    • I was so annoyed and frustrated about the fact this case was lost it's been floating around my head all night. Dave962, are you sure that's what the Judge said? .... It doesn't make sense. Did the judge in fact dismiss the case on the grounds that the defendant did not make an appeal within 28 days? Effectively telling the PPC about the error entering the registration number and providing proof of payment at that time? To me, that's an important point.

    • 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.

Hi there,

 

I arranged for me and some friends to enter a 5-a-side football league set up by a company called 'Football Mundial' which I 100% do not recommend by the way.

 

The league was ran very poorly and we decided to pack it in after a few weeks. They continued to charge us for games which we did not turn up at when we chose not to participate. I let them know via email we no longer wanted to participate in the league.

 

They are now chasing me for £222 for not turning up to games.

 

The letter states the following

 

"RE - Football Mundial

Amount Due £222

 

we have been instructed by Football Mundial to commence formal debt recovery proceedings against you.

 

TAKE NOTICE

 

There will be no further reminders sent to you or any opportunities for you to delay this payment any longer.

 

SHould you with to avoid a COURT SUMMONS being served on you, payment must be made in full within the next 3 working days using the pre-paid envelope enclosed. Alternatively we accept all major credit and debit cards.

 

We are advised you have been previously furnished with full details of our clients claim, however please telephone our offices immediately should this not be the case and we shall endeavour to resolve any query you may have.

 

Please note that our client has considered legal action therefore any litigation issued against you may result in your credit rating being adversely affected."

 

I responded to this letter via e-Mail to the debt collection company saying;

 

"Hello,

 

Just so you know there will be NO payment made within 3 days. Please call me if you have any questions.

 

I have told your client that I am not paying this 'Fee' for 'Not turning up to games'

 

I was never told by the organisation of the consequences of not showing up to a game. Nor was I shown a written agreement from the organisation. Which also means I certainly have not signed an agreement.

 

Thank you,

 

(edit)

 

As you can see above I have never seen or signed an agreement from this company so I am looking for advise on what to do next? I am yet to receive a response from my e-Mail.

 

Thanks

Shame you let then have your number, watch the harassment flow!

 

Who is the DCA? Name please.

 

Keep everything in writing or email as you have done, never EVER discuss this over the phone with anyone, unless you can record your calls, they will deny everything they have said, unless it is advantageous for them.

 

By the look of that very amateur letter, this would be one of the low life bottom feeders on a NWNF.

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 for your response. Where would the DCA be stated? I can't see it on the letter

 

Usually in the header or footnote? Is not Icon Collections as per your thread title?

Yeah, just been looking at their website, quite a joke for a Monday morning, they even lay out fees that the creditor can charge the alleged debtor!!!!

 

As with all powerless DCA's, they will bombard you with some scary missives, and no doubt harass you by telephone, before giving up.

 

If they do ring, laugh and hang up.

They can request what they wish...the question is whether you will fall for the threats of courts and summons and pay the DCA ? Without an agreement then loss can not be proved or litigated in a court of law.

Okay thanks.

 

There is no way I am giving in, I will just wait for a response from the DCA regarding the e-Mail that I sent them.

 

If they call & mention they are from the DCA or Football Mundial do you suggest I hang up?

Preferably after you ask them to put it in writing as you do not discuss these matters over the phone.

Do NOT engage these fools on the phone, if they ring you can either tell them ''Everything in writing'' and hang up, or just laugh and hang up.

 

The outcome will be the same, they'll get bored and harass someone they can intimidate.

 

TS and the CMA might like to hear about the antics of this 'Footbal Mundial' outfit.Consider dropping them a complaint.

 

WoW!! Is all I can say, have a read of their T&C's......incredible!
