    • I do disagree with you regarding one thing - we are not very good with letters or these situations and are slow on the uptake. So far you have stood up to Excel and their threats, immediately given us the information in the sticky, done loads of reading up to educate yourselves, learnt from the mistake of outing the driver so you'll know not to do so in the future, got on to the organ grinder to try to get them to call off their dogs, etc., etc.  Good grief - we wish everyone who came here would do this!!! Most people who get these invoices sadly think they have been fined and if they don't pay a drone from Ukraine will be diverted and will fall on their home (or some such vague grand apocalyptic threat) and they fold and give in.  You haven't.  Well done. Don't worry - you won't be paying a penny.  Although it will take some time to see off this vile company.
    • Spot on!  You learn quickly. Who cares if the case gets sent to debt collectors?  They have no powers.  All the effort you will have to put in will be to open envelopes - and then spend time laughing at their daft "threats".  No stress at all!
    • I did ask them why, but seems they have more spare cash than we do .. ;-( .. I doubt their bank would even support a chargeback after a year has passed. Anyway I've constructed my first DRAFT Snotty Letter .. so here goes ..   RE: PCN 4xxxxx Dear ALLIANCE PARKING Litigation Dept, Thank you for your dubious Letter Of Claim (dated 29th April 2024) of £100 for just 2 minutes of overstay. The family rolled around on the floor in amazement of the idea you actually think they’d accept this nonsense, let alone being confused over the extra unlawful £70 you had added. Shall we raise that related VAT issue with HMRC, or perhaps the custodians of the unicorn grain silos? Apart from the serious GDPR breach you’ve made with the DVLA and your complete failure in identifying the driver, we’re dumbfounded that the PCN is still not compliant with the PoFA (2012 Schedule 4 Under Section 9.2.f) even after 12 years of pathetic trial and error. We also doubt a judge would be very impressed at your bone idleness and lack of due diligence regarding the ANPR entry / exit periods compared with actual valid parking periods. Especially with no consideration of the legally allowed grace periods and the topological nature of the Cornish landscape versus a traditional multi-storey. And don’t even get us started on the invisible signage during the ultra busy bank holiday carnage, that is otherwise known as the random parking chaos in the several unmarked over-spill fields, or indeed the tedious “frustration of contract” attempting to get a data connection to Justpark.  We suggest your clients drop this extreme foolishness or get an absolute hammering in court. We are more than ready to raise the issues with a fair minded judge, who will most likely laugh your clients out in less time than it takes to capture more useless ANPR photos. We will of course be requesting “an unreasonable costs order” under CPR 27.14.2.g and put it toward future taxis to Harlyn Bay instead.  We all look forward to your clients' deafening silence. Legal Counsel on behalf of the Vehicle Keeper.  
    • Hi,t I'm not sure if I'm posting in the right subsection but General Retail appears to be the closest to it I think... About a year and a half ago I got a new phone so I listed my iPhone 10 on eBay.  The listed stated 'UK only' and 'no returns accepted'. Considering I had had the phone for about 4 years, I myself was amazed that I had kept it in such good condition all that time - apart from being slightly scuffed around the charging port there was absolutely nothing wrong with it. It had the original box, its unopened original Apple cable, plug, and earbuds, and I threw in a case for it and It had always had a screen protector on it. Someone wanted it from Armenia, and I stupidly agreed to it.  She paid and I sent it off, fully insured. Not long after she received it, she sent a message saying it 'was not as described', so I asked to see photos of whatever was the problem.  She sent two photographs of the box.  Just the box.  I said I wasn't even going to consider refunding her unless she told me what she meant by 'not as described'.  I thought, if it's been damaged in transit, then it would be covered by the insurance. Anyway, she didn't respond at all, even though I had messaged her several times, so she opened a case with eBay. I have sold a fair few things of mine on eBay in the past buy had never had had anyone come back to me asking for a refund.  I got in touch with eBay several times by phone and by email, and found out they always side with the buyer, no matter what with their 'eBay Seller Guarantee'.  She had been told she could keep the phone and told me they would recover the money from me from my account blah blah.  So I unlinked all of my cards etc and changed my bank account to one that I never use with no money in it. My account got suspended.  I continued to try to explain to eBay that I had been scammed but I got nowhere. My account was permanently inaccessible by this point. I reported the phone stolen and the IMEI blacklisted but I'm not sure if that would make any difference being in Armenia, but it was all I could think of to piss the buyer off. A couple of months later I was contacted by email by a debt recovery company (I can' remember who now), to whom I explained I will not discuss the matter with them until I had received an SAR I had requested from eBay. As I could no longer access my account, I couldn't review the communication I needed to show I was not in the wrong. The SAR was produced but I was advised that the information I was looking for would not be included but I said I wanted it anyway.  There were so many codes etc. and hoops to jump through to access it, that even after trying whilst on the phone to them, I still couldn't get into it, so I never got to see it in the end.  I think they said they would send the code by post but they never did and I forgot about it after a while. I've just come across a couple of emails from Moorgroup, asking me to phone them to discuss a private matter regarding eBay.  I haven't replied or done anything at all yet.  The amount they are trying to recover from me is £200ish from what I remember. I know it's not that much but I don't want to pay the b*astards on general principle. I've had a lot of useful advice from CAG in the past about debt collectors but it has always been about being chased by creditors, I've never been in this situation before. I don't know what power they legally have to recover the 'debt', and most importantly, I am two years into a DRO, and the last thing I want is another CCJ to shake off if I'm cutting my nose off to spite my face.   Any advice gratefully received!!
    • Hi, I have the Sims 4 on Macbook. Over the last year I have paid for multiple add on packs spending a lot of money on them. I bought them all in good faith as my Mac met all the minimum requirements to play them. I have been playing happily for about a year and bought my latest pack just over a week ago. The games were all working fine yesterday. Then suddenly today EA released a new app to launch the games and this new app requires a MAC OS that my computer cannot use. Now suddenly none of my games are accessible and I am unable to play anything. They did not warn us about this change in requirements and if I had known they would be doing this I wouldn't have bought all these add ons as they are now all totally unusable. The games themselves have not changed, only their app to launch them and I can't afford to buy a brand new mac just to play. So my question is how can they change the minimum requirements after I have paid for a game? I agreed to pay for them based on the fact my mac met their requirements and was not informed when purchasing that this would be an issue in the future. I understand new games (like Sims 5 which is to be released next year) might not be compatible but this is a 10yr old game that they have suddenly made inaccessible due to their new launch app. Does anybody know if I can do anything or anyway to get a partial refund from them? Thanks   Here are their T&C... I can't find anything in there about them being able to do this so not sure what to do https://tos.ea.com/legalapp/WEBTERMS/US/en/PC/

    • 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.

ok you were told to blink 1st by the court order 16th jan...

switch off the worry chill out.

 

there are some background related to your issue I need clarification on....

let me seek that we have till the 26th.

 

the court order clearly states 'transactions'

financially wise you have had NONE with the claimant.

 

it is unclear to me if by using that word, if its meant to mean..'communications.'

in otherwords the judge is after everything the fleecers have sent to you..

 

to me they appear to have solely gone out to prove to the judge they have a valid claim...

is that really what he actually asked for,,...

 

let me seek help on a few things.

 

post 1115 which is a merge of many posts

is EXACTLY the kind of thing you need to do

I started that before you told me in 126 not to.

 

I’m in limbo. I’ve had nothing from court since they’ve replied and I feel I should be putting something together for the 26th.,

 

I’m just thinking along the lines of they don’t ave a valid claim for the repo. As the charge doesn’t link.

 

However for the monies outstanding.

 

They have provided loan agreement 984 which isn’t that legible and full statement from when welcome owned it to date.

 

They have also provided a partial statement to 661 (missing page of which I i had in the welcome sar I forwarded to you) that clearly shows the amount that was re written was the same amount as the start of further loan 984

And then more Ppi was bumped on the top.

 

If that doesn’t prove a forced rewrite for no Finacial gain to the customer but for welcomes benefit I’m not sure what does?

 

Why would this rewrite have happened?

 

The Ppi was included in the total charge for credit.

 

It says cash advance on agreement.

 

There was no cash advance.

 

The new loan settled the previous one.

 

What exactly was the purpose of this rewrite.

 

And also their agreement was signed by a totally different person in welcome than all the others

Made a start on witness statement. Let me know what you think

 

I make this Witness Statement in support of my defence in the claim of

 

The claimants witness statement confirms that it mostly relies on hearsay evidence as confirmed by the drafts person in the opening paragraph.

 

1. I understand that the claimant is an Assignee, a buyer of defunct or bad debts who are based in Luxembourg which are bought on mass portfolios at a much reduced cost to the amount claimed and which the original creditors have already wrote off as a capital loss and claimed against taxable income as confirmed in the claimants witness statement exhibit RP8 by way of the Deed of Assignment

 

2. As an assignee or creditor as defined in section 189 of the CCA this applies to this new requirement on assignment of rights. This means that when an assignee purchases debts (or otherwise acquires rights under a credit agreement) it also acquires certain obligations to the borrower including the duty to comply with CCA requirements (such as the rules on statements and notices and other post-contractual information). The assignee becomes the creditor under the agreement. This ensures that essential consumer protections under the CCA cannot be circumvented by assigning the debt to a third party. Even if this loan became a regulated Mortgage contract by reasons of the Mortgage Credit Directive from 21 March 2016 Then the loan is still covered by the CCA.

 

3. On or around the 2 April 2017 I received the original claim form for possession of property from this court for the amount of £3,342.42 The claimant contends that the claim is for the sum of £3,342.42 in respect of monies owing under an alleged agreement with the account

 

4. Contained within the claimants particulars the claimant pleads that The defendant has not paid the agreed repayments of the loan and interest. and that a default notice has been served upon the defendant 17/3/2017. It does not evidence a default notice in their exhibits.

 

5.It is therefore contended that the original creditor failed to serve a valid Default Notice pursuant to section 87(1) Service of a notice on the debtor or hirer in accordance with section 88 (a “default notice ”) is necessary before the creditor or owner can become entitled, by reason of any breach by the debtor or hirer of a regulated agreement.

 

6. On the numerous dates from March 2017 until January 2017 made many formal written requests to the Claimant requesting that the Claimant provides copies of all documents relevant to this case. Nothing was produced.

 

7. After submitting my defence to solicitors on 30th January. I finally received a copy of the Consumer Credit Agreement dated 28/08/2008. Exhibit RP6. This is very poor quality. It is averred that it is very hard to read and illegible. The court is invited to try and decipher the contents and in particular the prescribed terms pursuant to section 77 CCA1974 and sec 61 (1) c of the CCA1974.

 

 

8. Claimants Exhibit RP12 shows a loan statement account no xx which started on 5/10/07 . It is meant to have 4 pages but only has 3. I provide to the court the missing page no 4 of this statement. The amount is £22,000 plus and acceptance fee of £235.00 and PPI £4506.20 the total amount of credit is £26,741.20. I respectfully ask the court to take note of all the charges and fees applied and on page 1 29/08/08 amount of £27,971.82. Which appears to be exactly the same amount on loan agreement xx. But this new agreement then has £2,307.70 added to it.

 

I would like the court to take in to account the unfairness by the original creditor welcome finance on this rewrite.

 

The FOS and FCA have been unable to help with the above as the original creditors Welcome finance have entered into a scheme of arrangement. In normal circumstances both advised they would look into the issues I have raised but their hands are tied due to the scheme.

 

The claimant has failed to show any link between the charge that was registered on 19/10/06 under loan number xx which welcome failed to removed upon settlement 3/4/2007 of the said loan number. The error lies with welcome not removing this.

 

The claimants appear to be trying to use this charge for possession. They are trying to fool the court into believing this charge is on another loan they have purchased. Loan 984 was taken 16 months after settlement 661 6 months after settlement.

 

They have failed in their reply to my defence to produce any charge notice relevant to the loan number they are litigating over so have no grounds to repossess as no charge exists.

An assignment which does not fulfil the statutory criteria for a legal assignment. An equitable assignment may be made in one of two ways:

The assignor can inform the assignee that he transfers a right or rights to him.

The assignor can instruct the other party or parties to the agreement to discharge their obligation to the assignee instead of the assignor.

Only the benefit of an agreement may be assigned. There is no requirement for written notice to be given or received. The only significant difference between a legal assignment and an equitable assignment is that an equitable assignee often cannot bring an action in its own name against the third party contractor, but must fall back on the rules governing equitable assignments and join the assignor as party to the action.

good

lots of time don't panic

 

strip out everything that's not relevant.

 

solely concentrate and ONLY rely upon what the CLAIMANT has provided in terms of documentary evidence....

 

use THAT ONLY to disprove their claim.

 

that's ALL they can reply upon.
