    • I have received a PCN from Euro Car Parks for MFG - Esso Cobham - Gravesend. I was completely unaware that there was any such limit for parking and always considered this to be a service station. I stopped there to use the toilet, have a coffee and made a couple of work calls. I have read the previous topics on this location which suggest I can ignore this and ECP will not take legal action. The one possible complication is that the vehicle is leased by my employer so I do not want to involve them with the associated reminders and threatening letters. The PCN was first issued to the leasing company Arval who have notified ECP of the hiring company. I have attached a copy of the PCN Notice to Hirer with details removed as per instructions. What options do I have or should I just pay the PCN promptly at the reduced rate of £60? img20240424_23142631.pdf
    • What you have uploaded is a letter with daft empty threats from third-party paper tigers.  Just ignore it. What we need to see is the original invoice you received last October or November.
    • Thanks for posting the CPR contents. i do wish you hadn't blanked out the dates and times since at times they can be relevant . Can you please repost including times and dates. They say that they sent a copy of  the original  PCN that they sent to the Hirer  along with your hire agreement documents. Did you receive them and if so can you please upload the original PCN without erasing dates and times. If they did include  all the paperwork they said, then that PCN is pretty near compliant except for their error with the discount time. In the Act it isn't actually specified but to offer a discount for 14 days from the OFFENCE is a joke. the offence occurred probably a couple of months prior to you receiving your Notice to Hirer.  Also the words in parentheses n the Act have been missed off. Section 14 [5][c] (c)warn the hirer that if, after the period of 21 days beginning with the day after that on which the notice to hirer is given, the amount of unpaid parking charges referred to in the notice to keeper under paragraph 8(2)(f) or 9(2)(f) (as the case may be) has not been paid in full, the creditor will (if any applicable requirements are met) have the right to recover from the hirer so much of that amount as remains unpaid; Though it states "if any applicable ...." as opposed to "if all applicable......" in Section 8 or 9. Maybe the Site could explain what the difference between the two terms mean if there is a difference. Also on your claim form they keeper referring to you as the driver or the keeper.  You are the Hirer and only the Hirer is responsible for the charge EVEN IF THEY WEREN'T THE DRIVER. So they cannot pursue the driver and nowhere in the Hirer section of the Act is the hirer ever named as the keeper so NPC are pursuing the wrong person.

    • 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 am trying to go down the Irresponsible Lending route with all my payday loans.

 

I complained to Lending Stream and they have very quickly come back to me with this;

 

 

 

 

Dear --- ---------

 

We write in reference to your recent correspondence.

 

Please note that you borrowed 16 loans from Lending Stream, out of which 12 loans were closed successfully and the ownership of 4 loans (Ref. No: -------, -------, ------- and -------) has been transferred to the third party debt collection agency Asset Collections & Investigations Limited (ACI).

 

Hence, we would request you to get in touch with ACI on 01698 907055 for further proceedings in regards to the loans (Ref. No: -------, -------, ------- and -------).

 

Affordability Check:

 

We confirm that an affordability analysis is conducted for all customers (existing or new) and on each loan application. Our advanced analytics and underwriting processes review the information provided by the customer, all public information and details held by Credit Reference Agencies before making a decision.

Your Experian score was ranging upto 722; which factored into our proprietary underwriting and deemed acceptable

At the time of applications, you were full-time employed

Your monthly income at the time of applications was ranging upto £2118.00

We could observe a sufficient disposable income, which denoted that repayments towards the loans can be made without any financial difficulties

 

Rollover:

 

We would also like you to note that a “Rollover” is an option provided by some lenders where a customer is allowed to delay paying back a loan on the payment of additional fees. Currently, Lending Stream does not offer this option. Hence, we confirm that the FCA regulation on “Rollover” Loans is not applicable to us.

 

Credit file/Data Validation:

 

When a customer requests for a credit report from a Credit Reference Agency, he may acquire specific information including names of different lenders and their respective reporting. However, when a financial institution does a credit search on a customer’s credit report, they are not privy to that exact information. Hence, our decision to lend money does in part rely on the information received from Experian (credit scores).

 

Financial Difficulties:

 

Our constant message to customers whose circumstances change or who experience hardship is to speak to us and we will work something out together. Upon reviewing your account, we found that the required assistance was offered, whenever, we were informed about the change in your circumstances.

 

In lieu of the overall situation, we believe that Lending Stream has behaved responsibly in approving your loans.

 

Hence, we would request you to get in touch with Asset Collections & Investigations Limited (ACI) for further proceedings. Else, you may ask them to contact us directly in case they require any account specific details.

 

For further queries, please email us at [email protected] or call us on 0203 365 0138 (Monday to Friday between 7 am to 10 pm). Call charges apply.

 

Regards,

Lending Stream Customer Service

 

 

Do I go back to LS and ask if this is their final decision before I take it to the FOS? I have seen people negotiate and it hasnt needed to go to the FOS and they have had an offer.

If I do go back to them what do I say?

 

Or do I just take that as their final decision and go to FOS asap?

 

Many Thanks

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...

What an earth are they on about with Credit Scores?

If they are using underwriting methods then they will beable to see all of your accounts and whether they have paid on time etc and not these credit scores that they go on about.

Credit scores are used as a guide by the agencies to show you how likely you are to be accepted for credit (Not ever guaranteed) - The Credit Scoring the company does is against a set underwriting criteria that they use to score how likely you are to pay and not what Experian provide them!!!!!!

So what they are telling you is complete bull..

 

Lending Stream like to be difficult like that

 

If you were to apply the current rules to the PDLs they have offered then

How much of these have default charges and if so how much are each?

Can you get a full DSAR sent to them and get statements too?

 

We could do with some help from you.

My advice - FOS It!

 

What did you tell them about your financial difficulties? What did they offer?

During this time PDLs were known to be very very difficult to deal with
