    • 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.

I won't bother.

Honestly it was just the fact that I stumbled on that sticky that made me think. Surely the fact they are offering a £4000+ discount means they know exactly what they've got. Thinking back Capital one accepted my dispute in as far as they stopped writing and did nothing more than send an annual statement until they sold it to Lowells.

Even if you hadn't CCAd Capital1 my advice would probably have been the same. And if the sticky you refer to is the one I think it is, I profoundly disagree with it.

 

There are certain circumstances in which one is best ignoring Lowell unless / until a court claim form or proper S D is served - usually via Carter or BW Legal. Hefty discounts are one of a range of indicators.

  • 1 year later...

ive got to letter 3 from Lowell after a few years silence on this account

and I know this is near enough statute barred.

 

 

Are they likely to know this and put in a last second claim as the letters are getting more threatening?

 

Have checked noddle and the default date is early May 2010

so my gut instinct is that ive not paid since maybe Jan or Feb 2010

but for the benefit of doubt im considering it as May.

 

I know the agreement in unenforceable and Capital one admitted as much in 2010

but I cant find the damn letter.

Its one of those sheets of paper with a signature in the middle.

 

I just ideally dont want to have to go through the hassle of court again

 

 

. I was wondering if maybe I should cca them again to

just delay things or just keep quiet and hope it passes?

 

Its a large debt but I like think that irelevant given the lack of enforceable paperwork.

Have you previously sent a CCA request to Lowell Craig?

We could do with some help from you.

Just send Lowell a CCA request, the £1 Postal Order is money well spent for peace of mind & to see you over the statute barred line.

If a DCA rings you, refuse to go through the security questions & hang up!

Are Lowells aware of a previous CCA request?

 

If they are, are Lowells just sending the threatograms in the hope the op would crack or are they going through the normal procedures leading to a claim?

 

If the op could tell us where they obtained the Capital letter from, was the original CCA request made directly to Capital or via a DCA (and if so which one)?

I have only ever sent one CCA for this account which would be early 2010.

 

 

Capital one sent me the typical unenforcable sheet with seperate terms,

I disputed it and they wrote back saying they could not enforce it

but it was still owed then its just been passed around.

 

No I have not CCA'd Lowells.

 

Reading the letter they want a response by the 17th of March

so i'm going to wait till the 15th and send a CCA,

hopefully that will be enough to get us close.

Makes sense thanks.

 

I'm going to check my external drive see if I can find anything on there like a downloaded credit report that might show the last payments.

icon1.png Wheres my damn default notice or are Capital one resptecting my dispute?

 

 

 

 

13 weeks no payment,

£1200 arrears but no default notice.

 

 

They sent me one in Jan for £412 which was removed as it was paid within 14 days

and nothing was ever added to my credit history.

 

I have put the account into dispute on grounds of dodgy cca and they never responded.

 

Is this normal or is there a chance theyve messed something up or actually respecting my dispute?.

Nothing on my record and they updated it 6 weeks ago showing 2 months arrears.

 

I guess its a matter of waiting(which is the bad bit).

 

Be curious to get opinions though considering the first notice came after 1 missed payment

and being over limit a bit for a few months.

yep

please don't hit Quote...just type we know what we said earlier..

DCA's view debtors as suckers, marks and mugs

NO DCA has ANY legal powers whatsoever on ANY debt no matter what it's Type

and they

are NOT and can NEVER  be BAILIFFS. even if a debt has been to court..

If everyone stopped blindly paying DCA's Tomorrow, their industry would collapse overnight...
