    • Ok you are in the clear. The PCN does not comply with the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012 Schedule 4 for two reasons. The first is that in Section 9 [2][e]  says the PCN must "state that the creditor does not know both the name of the driver and a current address for service for the driver and invite the keeper— (i)to pay the unpaid parking charges ". It does not say that even though it continues correctly with blurb about the driver. The other fault is that there is no parking period mentioned. Their ANPR cameras do show your arrival and departure times but as that at the very least includes driving from the entrance to the parking space then later leaving the parking space and driving to the exit. It also doesn't allow for finding a parking spot: manoeuvering into it avoiding parking on the lines: possibly having to stop to allow pedestrians/other cars to pass in front of you; returning the trolley after finishing shopping; loading children disabled people in and out of the car, etc etc.  All of that could easily add five, ten or even 15 minutes to your time which the ANPR cameras cannot take into account. So even if it was only two hours free time you could  still have been within the  time since there is a MINIMUM of 15 minutes Grace period when you leave the car park. However as they cannot even manage to get their PCN to comply with the Act you as keeper cannot be pursued. Only the driver is now liable and they do not know who was driving as you have not appealed and perhaps unwittingly given away who was driving. So you do not owe them a penny. No need to appeal. Let them waste their money pursuing you . 
    • If Labour are elected I hope they go after everyone who made huge amounts of money out of this, by loading the company with debt. The sad thing is that some pension schemes, including the universities one, USS, will lose money along with customers.
    • What's the reason for not wanting a smart meter? Personally I'm saving a pile on a tariff only available with one. Today electricity is 17.17p/kWh. If the meter is truly past its certification date the supplier is obliged to replace it. If you refuse to allow this then eventually they'll get warrant and do so by force. Certified life varies between models and generations, some only 10 or 15 years, some older types as long as 40 years or maybe even more. Your meter should have its certified start date marked somewhere so if you doubt the supplier you can look up the certified life and cross check.
    • No I'm not. Even if I was then comments on this forum wouldn't constitute legal advice in the formal sense. Now you've engaged a lawyer directly can I just make couple of final suggestions? Firstly make sure he is fully aware of the facts. And don't mix and match by taking his advice on one aspect while ploughing your own furrow on others.  Let us know how you get on now you have a solicitor acting for you.

    • 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 everyone,

 

I am having some trouble with British Credit Trust.

 

In 2003 our car was written off this was financed via BCT. When we were looking for another car a Broker rung us who we thought was working for BCT and arranged for us to view some cars (none of the cars he organised for us were any good), so we brought one via an independent garage.

 

In 2006 the car engine ceased up and we had to send the car back to BCT and was paying the outstanding balance via Marlin.

 

I then decided to send in a SAR request. What I got back was a copy of the fees the Broker charged even though he did nothing (nearly £1600).

 

I have written to both Marlin and BCT about this matter as hidden broker fees are a no no but neither of them have bothered to reply to my letters even though they have signed for them.

 

Does anyone have the contact details for the main person at both companies?

 

Thanks in adavnce

Just received a letter from Marlin Portfolio (so it has moved one desk down to chimp line) saying if we don't start payments they will start legal proceedings which would be nice, but funnily enough no response to our complaint, so we will start the process again with these chimps and see what happens.

Luckily we have changed phone companies and they don't have the number.

Hi, 

 

My other half has just received a letter from Cabot regarding a debt going back to 2006.

 

It was originally with Marlin, and after taking advice on here we put the account in dispute due to some errors in the paperwork, 

 

She has not heard a thing from them until Cabot wrote saying they got a CCJ at our old address dated 11/2014.

 

No payments have been made on this account since early 2005.

 

As it is nearly 5 years since the CCJ was granted would we be able to set aside the CCJ?

 

Thanks

 

JJ

  • dx100uk changed the title to Backdoor Cabot/Marlin 2005 CCJ for old BCT car finance remainder after vt . not paid since 2005!!

merged a few old threads

 

well TBH its not far away from 6yrs when they wont be able to enforce it wihout returning to court

 

but what strikes me is the account would have been well statute barred by 2014

I was thinking of writing along the lines of:

 

The account was placed in dispute in 2009/2010 as there was serious errors in the agreement and the account running.

Marlin/Bramble should not of sold the debt on when  a dispute has been raised.

 

We require you to remove the CCJ or we will go back to court and have it set aside as we have a strong defence

marlin are cabot, not been sold on

 

the debt was statute barred at the issuance of the claimform resulting in the default uncontested judgement because the claim was raised against an old address.

would need to return to court and get permission

forget the dispute, that's immaterial now

 

the bottom line is the debt was outside of the statute barred period when default judgement was attained.

 

if you have proof of last payment then they could quite easily remove the CCJ by consent FOC to you

 

write with a copy of that proof and tell them they have 14 days to remove the CCJ FOC or you'll seek financial compensation for the last almost 6yrs of damage this has done to his credit worthiness

 

do you have proof of last payment?

do you have proof you in formed either BCT or marlin in writing of his current address before they raised the court claim?

Glad you merged all the threads from earlier.

 

The last payment was 27/07/2005 and the CCJ was granted on 11/11/2014 so a clear 6 years.

 

I think by the looks of it they got the CCJ from the original address for the agreement and not the one they had been writing to us

Sorry for not posting sooner, have had a serious family matter.

 

I have drafted a letter of complaint, if you can think of anything please let me know

 

With regards to the above account I would like to raise a formal complaint.

 

In September 2009 I wrote to you when you was under the name of Marlin and raised a formal complaint as there was serious errors in the way the account had been processed, and have had no response from you until your recent correspondence.

 

After checking my credit file I noticed that you have lodged a CCJ that I did not have a chance to defend.

 

With this in mind I request you remove this CCJ from my file, if you are unwilling to do this I will apply to set aside the CCJ and will send the cost over to your company.

 

 

I look forward to hearing from you.

I've just been through all the paperwork here and it seems that some payments were made to Marlin upto July 2009 until we asked for a CCA and lodged the complaint about the serious error in the paperwork, so that takes it within the 6 years.

 

Weirdly this statement was in our original paperwork but not in their last statements that came through

 

We moved house in 2012 and they hadn't written to us during that time.

 

Don't know how to play this now
