    • Thanks Dave It's not too far away, about 8 or 9 miles, I will probably venture over on my bike if I can't think of a good reason to drive there again! I'll have a chat with Mrs GB_Joe tomorrow and see which shops they visited, I know M&S was on the list (had to try on multiple sets of trousers!) and they are actually in that bit of retail park. The uniform shop is across the way in the Meridian Centre, so probably not helpful to get them involved.
    • As they have failed to deliver their original PCN you will need to send them an SAR where they should provide that PCN. It should show the address they used . If it is not your current one that would explain the non delivery. If it was correct then perhaps the Post office messed up. A more cynical view would be that UKPC didn't send it so that you couldn't claim the reduction. It appears that UKPC have been there for some time  but I have been unable to find any pictures of their Notices.The leisure park itself is pretty big so while some parts maybe give 5 hours free parking other parts may have restrictions like permits. I haven't been there for years -I went  to Nandos and the bowling centre . I am surprised that they are now infested with UKPC as the place is plenty big enough not to require their dubious services. If you live not to far away it would help if you could get some legible pictures of their signs. Be carful to park in an area that doesn't require a permit and take photos of the entrance signs, the five hour sign and the permit only sign as well as any other signs that are different from the previous signs. Also if their is a payment machine could you please photograph that.

    • 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.

Hello, firstly im sorry if this is in the wrong place, please feel free to move if so.

 

I am looking for some help, in 2014, I foolishly took out a loan of £150, with mini credit. I soon after found myself in a position to be unable to pay it back - any of it.

 

I soon started receiving letters from a company called Kapama, (sp?) who were demanding £741. now i do not believe this to be a correct amount and have challenged this with them several times via email to which they have never replied. However they do still send their standard emails informing me how to pay and how much it is, they also send the occasional letter in the post.

 

The advice I am looking for is, what to do, is this a fair amount for a payday loan? and if they will not reply to me, how can i challenge it, i would like to be able to pay back the initial £150 and say its done, It would also be nice to have it wiped off my credit file, as I think its unfair.

 

Thanks in advance

Hi and welcome to CAG

 

Firstly, getting the default removed is going to be almost impossible as you did default on the payment.

 

With the figures quoted, I would go back to them and offer what you would have paid at the time of the loan. Everything else that has been added are likely unenforceable and Kapama (Opos) know this. If they have added extra charges, this is not allowed.

 

It's hard for me to say make a complaint as yet but what I would do is offer the amounts stated at a rate YOU can afford. If they refuse (and they will) then you can raise a formal complaint which they don't want as if they fail to resolve the complaint, you can go to the Financial Ombudsman who have found in the customers favour many times.

If you are asked to deal with any matter via private message, PLEASE report it.

Everything I say is opinion only. If you are unsure on any comment made, you should see a qualified solicitor

Did you have other loans and or defaults when you took this out?

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...

Silverfox - thank you for your reply, would my first step be to write or email them asking for the original credit agreement?

 

Dx100uk - yes I did have other defaults but they were like from 2006- 2008, at the time i took this loan out I did have up to date mobile phone contracts

You could but in my opinion, this just delays things as the law changed years ago so that they don't need to prove via an agreement that you agreed to the terms, just that you had benefit of the cash (which you did)

 

Email is fine so long as they send an automated reply but I would rather send a letter and get proof of postage from the post office. OR send the letter Signed For Delivery

minicredit and kapama are the same people. They put ona ton of charges and hope you dont notice. I dont even think they even consider court due to the charges.

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..
