    • 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.  
    • This is simply a scam site.  It's been shown to be a scam in the national press and on national TV. Please fill in the the forum sticky and upload the invoice you've received. In fact what you have is an invoice, not a fine, a private company doesn't have the power to issue fines.

    • 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.

Hi,

 

after CCA'ing my creditors as per advice here in an earlier thread back in October one of my main DCA's (Wescot has responded - took them a while!)

 

They are saying they have sent me my original agreement as requested and have now passed the debt back to Lowell who they were collecting on behalf of?

 

is the CCA a valid copy?

The original creditor was HSPF (home shopping personal finance)

 

Not sure if i should get back in touch with Lowell and start arranging payments again or not :(

 

Any help appreciated as always, i have uploaded copy of what Wescot have sent me.. next steps for me?

think those T&C's are lacking somewhat IMHO

and poss not all the prescribed terms are there either.

 

tell us more about the history of this please and your payment history/

 

moved to the CAT forum and retitled for clarity

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...

No, that will be the statement of account which they are legally bound to send you annually.

 

IMHO I'd ignore for now until Lowlifes send you one of their begging letters.

 

Has anyone offered a discount?

 

Have you reclaimed any charges and PPI/fees back?

Hi, thanks this isn't actually a catalogue it was a loan from a Company called HSPF i think they were something to do with RBS but the original loan was HSPF they are not a catalogue as far as i know.

 

I managed to make the payments for about 12 months then fell into a debt spiral, originally went into a DMP with Stepchange and then more recently with payplan.

 

To be honest i have just been making the payments into my DMP all these years until i found this forum.

I have uploaded the statements they sent me along with the alleged copy of the CCA, that is everything i received today from Wescot.

 

Any help appreciated not sure what i should do next.

Hi no i stopped paying last year after they failed to comply with the CCA request.

 

Then let that remain.

 

UNTIL they do comply.

 

IGNORE everything less for a court claim, if they're silly enough to chance their arm.

Hi,

Have received another letter from Lowells they say they are giving me until the 31/03 to get in touch with them and arrange repayments or they will start pursuing the debt once more. Based on the CCA in my original post should i get in touch and start paying them again or ignore? Really unsure what to do next...

wetcloths don't buy debts 

and like all DCA's they are not bailiffs

and have 

zero legal powers.

Sorry my mistake the letter is from Lowells who wescot were collecting on behalf of, Lowells have now taken the debt back from Wescot and are saying they have complied with my CCA request and to contact them by 31/03 to arrange payments or they will begin pursuing the debt again.

 

Should i contact them to arrange payment?

Why not tell us a bit about the loan why  you defaulted on it ...was there a dispute with the original creditor etc...does it contain unfair charges...difficult to give advice just because they have sent you what purports to be a copy of the agreement...and an almost illegible copy at that.

Of  course....

Originally the loan was from a company called  Home Shopping Personal Finance  (i think they were part of RBS) and was for 10k in 2008..

..i got into real financial difficulties when Northern Rock went under and my Mortgage deal was pulled and ended up defaulting on this and other loans in 2010

 

entered into a DMP with one of the debt charities,

i have been paying into that ever since and not missed any payments.

 

In November last year i found this site and decided to CCA all my remaining creditors based on the great advice given here.

.nearly all the debts have been passed on through various  DCA's over the years i have been on a DMP...

 

. Wescot were collecting this debt on behalf of Lowell's but passed back to Lowells after receiving my CCA request..

.Lowell's have sent me what they claim to be a valid CCA (in my first post) and  a payment history (6th post down) and are now saying the debt is enforceable again due to valid  CCA being provided and to arrange payment with them before 31/03 or they will take things off hold and  begin pursuing me for payment again....

Just to let you know, that I received a CCA from Lowell, that was blurred, just like yours.  I wrote to them  with this piece of CCA Legislation.

17.33 The agreement must be in writing and must contain the specified information. This must be clear and concise, and must be easily legible and of a colour which is readily distinguishable from the background medium.

 

I just qouted them the above legislation, and told them what they had sent me was illegible, and as a result unenforceable. They wrote it off and removed it from my credit file.

 

I know letter tennis isn't recommended on this site, but it worked for me !

Hi, no i removed Wescot from my DMP when they fell outside of the time limit to provide me with a valid CCA request in November, so i haven't paid anything towards this debt since November.

 

And yes Wescot are out of the equation now as passed back to Lowells

Thanks for the info that's really interesting, i have noticed a lot of the wording is missing as crops off the edge of the page so i definitely wouldn't say it is fully legible at all and is also very blurry......

I see.... Im clearer now on why the question of enforceability arises.Well in my opinion what they have provided is questionable but possibly enough to attain a judgment...also  you must be aware that as the amount in question is quite considerable should they litigate this will go Fast Track.....risky for you but also expensive for the claimant to litigate on and not be guaranteed recovering its costs should their claim fail.

 

I suppose the question for you and deciding your next move is how imperative that you avoid a CCJ ?

Yes it is very imperative i avoid a CCJ if at all possible.....thinking i should just add them back into my DMP now or wait to see what they do next?

Or make an offer to Lowell and agree a new monthly payment plan...much reduced to what you have been paying...which is manageable and affordable and forgettable 😎

 

Its all very well us telling you yes its enforceable or unenforceable and illegible...a Court may have a different opinion...and you lose with substantial costs (Fast Track)
