    • I have just read the smaller print on their signs. It says that you can pay at the end of your parking session. given that you have ten minutes grace period the 35 seconds could easily have been taken up with walking back to your car, switching on the engine and then driving out. Even in my younger days when I used to regularly exceed speed limits, I doubt I could have done that in 35 seconds even when I  had a TR5.

    • 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.

    • 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.

Help! Eurudio have 'outsourced' me to Capquest

Hi, can anyone help me please?

Erudio Student Loans have referred my deferred debt to Capquest!

 

I took out loans in 1996/7/8 with SLC and paid regularly when earning enough.

Serious poor health led to me deferring

 

 

whilst I was in hospital in 2014 I checked my bank account and someone called Erudio had taken over £100 without warning.

 

I contacted the fraud team at my bank as I'd never heard of them

- the bank had and said I was not alone and refunded the money.

 

I sent a strongly worded letter to Erudio who I now knew had bought the loans

- in July 2014

with evidence of my benefits/income to prove I was entitled to defer

-which I sent by recorded delivery.

 

I also copied in FOS as I was extremely angry.

 

The Financial Ombudsman replied in writing but I heard no more from Erudio except for a small amount paid into my bank 'in compensation'.

Thus I assumed that the evidence I supplied Erudio and the letter advising of serious ill health had done the trick and it was deferred again. I never heard from them again.

 

As my health has begun to improve and I am looking at getting my affairs in order, although I am still on benefits due to my health - I emailed Erudio to ask what is the status of these loans as I had not heard from them since

 

I was unsure if these loans were still active or had been 'written off' as I believe can happen in instances of serious ill health.

 

Much to my horror they replied today saying my account has been 'outsourced to Capquest' who I now know are a debt recovery firm.

They also state that I am unable to defer the loans anymore and I should deal with Capquest and not them!

 

The reason for this outsource is that I failed to respond to their letter in Oct 2014 and attached a copy

 

I see that they sent it to a random address in Birmingham

- not the address in Lincolnshire which was given on the letter I sent them in July 2014,

nor my parents address which was always the correspondence address when I took out the loans with SLC.

 

Thus, no wonder I haven't replied to them or their alleged requests for their deferment form. This is yet again their error.

 

They also admitted they failed to write to me - presumably at any address - and inform me that they were going to take money from my account - hence the £25 'compensation.

 

What can I do?

I'm not working and need to defer these loans

- as per the terms I took them out under with SLC

 

they say I am no longer eligible to do this as I didn't reply to their letters

- sent to a random address

 

Can they 'outsource' me to Capquest debt recovery when the mistake is theirs and they haven't used my address?

 

I'm not well and don't want a bailiff turning up on my doorstep

- unless they have a random one in Brum!!

 

This is their error that has led to this, not mine - is my credit score ruined?

 

The scanned letter they attached from Oct 2014 also mentions the loan amount going up 'due to arrears due to missed payments'

- God knows what the amount will be now!

 

Any help / suggestions who to contact for help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks

1st

Erudio are a DCA , they are Arrows group

As are capquest

 

So its gone nowhere

Same office same printer

Just a diff desk with a diff bloke

In a diff coloured skirt

 

2nd

A DCA is NOT A BAILIFF

 

You should have ignored them

But good you got you money back

 

How old are you please?

Near 50??

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...

Hi,

I'm 43 but seemingly if ive 'defaulted' I am not subject to the agreement with SLC and I can no longer defer nor will it be wiped at 50 - is this still the case?

 

 

can Eurudio mark me as a default for not responding to letters sent in their error to a random address when I had supplied them with correct addresses?

thanks

Officially with SLC it would appear - presumably in 2013 - as Eurudio took the money in 2014

(I still have the letter I sent to SLC with evidence dated 1st May 2012

 

 

- I was extremely ill and spent many months in and out of hospital for the next couple of years

my record keeping is poor during this period I'm afraid

 

 

the next thing I have is snot-o-gram letter I sent to Eurudio in July 2014 after they took the money out of my account

- this was the first I'd ever heard of them

- hence contacting fraud team.

 

 

I don't know when Eurudio took over, I was never told.

I enclosed proof of benefits etc with letter to Eurudio and assumed they'd deferred it again.

 

 

Its only now they emailed me a copy of the response letter they posted in 2014 to a Birmingham address which stated they had refused to defer it

- even though I'd provided evidence as I hadn't filled out their form or something??

No idea why they started writing to a Birmingham address

- hence I didn't know they had refused to defer it.

I think you have a good case here

you NEED to type in erudio

in the search cag box of the top red toolbar and get up to speed

 

http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?412611-Govt-sells-old-style-SLC-loans-to-Erudio-one-Arrow-global-DCA

 

I would argue :wink: now that with your snot o gram you sent in a filled out copy of the old SLC deferment form

and they lost it.

 

and since then have never been contacted and that you should get ahold of the SLC blank deferment form on this forum and get ready to send it in.

ILL health is a very big bonus here and their refusal to write to the correct informed address.

is there a footprint on your credit file yet?

Hi, I was wondering if Citizens Advice would be of any help?

I have drafted a reply email to Eurudio

but maybe I'll be better off keeping quiet as they appear to be using the wrong address

- through error or design as they knew I wouldn't get their correspondence

so could would default and they could call the whole amount in

- this and ignoring you seems to be a tactic!

 

Is it worth me writing with old SLC defer form and evidence of continued benefits to them now?

(where can I find a blank old SLC deferment form btw??)

as they've ignored it before and refuse to deal with me and have told me to deal with Crapquest?

I would also cc in FOS and FCA with a complaint about their conduct btw.

 

Or should I just ignore voice messages I'm assuming are from DCA

- I refuse to speak to them or Eurudio

(I told a bloke at the time they stole money in 2014 I would only deal with them in writing

- obv they are incapable/can't be bothered to write to anyone!!)

 

At lease reading all the other threads on here I'm not alone,

disgusting they can do this

- and the Government has let them!

 

 

As far as I'm concerned my loan was with SLC, not Erudio,

I have signed nothing from Erudio, and refuse to,

 

 

surely the terms and conditions of SLC agreement I signed still stand???

For 15 years post degree I successfully paid or deferred my loans whilst SLC handled them,

funny how its all gone to * since Erudio took over!!!

 

I haven't ever done a credit ref check

- which one do you recommend

- free one please

- I'd like to see if Eurudio have ruined mine!

 

 

P>S will Eurudio/Capquest be able to access it and find all my addresses??

I obv update bank, etc when I move (I don't have any outstanding credit cards / loans etc - except for student loan!) , I've never defaulted on anything, or missed a payment - except for daft demands from Eurudio!! I didn't know you updated your own credit file - I thought they just pooled information off records??

 

What are the 'stickies'?? Sorry, bit dim!!

 

Yes, I'll write again enclosing copies of everything and send recorded delivery again. I'll check credit rating first too.

 

They said they are/have charged me arrears for missed payments - can they do this as they failed to write to my actual address with deferral refusal/default notice?

 

Thanks for all your words of wisdom btw!

its erudio not eurudio....

stickies click the blue student/slc link up top of this webpage

 

 

the fact that they didn't send to right address is immaterial

if you didn't update slc then you cant argue over that.

I think you'll be ok

 

 

go get that credit file

see if they've defaulted you first please

Hi dx, just checked, there is nothing on my credit file - phew! So do I rock the boat or keep quiet??

 

SLC have always had my updated address, and for 15 years contacted me to pay/defer - hence I can't understand why Erudio used a random address in Brum!

 

I've found the original SLC defer form now, thanks.
