    • Yeah, sorry, that's what I meant .... I said DCBL because I was reading a few threads about them discontinuing claims and getting spanked in court! Meant  YOU  Highview !!!  🖕
    • Yep, I read that and thought about trying to find out what the consideration and grace period is at Riverside but not sure I can. I know they say "You must tell us the specific consideration/grace period at a site if our compliance team or our agents ask what it is"  but I doubt they would disclose it to the public, maybe I should have asked in my CPR 31.14 letter? Yes, I think I can get rid of 5 minutes. I am also going to include a point about BPA CoP: 13.2 The reference to a consideration period in 13.1 shall not apply where a parking event takes place. I think that is Deception .... They giveth with one hand and taketh away with the other! One other point to note, the more I read, the more I study, the more proficient I feel I am becoming in this area. Make no mistake DBCL if you are reading this, when I win in court, if I have the grounds to make any claims against you, such as breach of GDPR, I shall be doing so.

    • the Town and Country [advertisments ] Regulations 2007 are not easy to understand. Most Council planing officials don't so it's good that you found one who knows. Although he may not have been right if the rogues have not been "controlling" in the car park for that long. The time only starts when the ANPR signs go up, not how long the area has been used as a car park.   Sadly I have checked Highview out and they have been there since at least 2014 . I have looked at the BPA Code of Practice version 8 which covers 2023 and that states Re Consideration and Grace Periods 13.3 Where a parking location is one where a limited period of parking is permitted, or where drivers contract to park for a defined period and pay for that service in advance (Pay & Display), this would be considered as a parking event and a Grace Period of at least 10 minutes must be added to the end of a parking event before you issue a PCN. It then goes on to explain a bit more further down 13.5 You must tell us the specific consideration/grace period at a site if our compliance team or our agents ask what it is. 13.6 Neither a consideration period or a grace period are periods of free parking and there is no requirement for you to offer an additional allowance on top of a consideration or grace period. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________So you have  now only overstayed 5 minutes maximum since BPA quote a minimum of 10 minutes. And it may be that the Riverside does have a longer period perhaps because of the size of the car park? So it becomes even more incumbent on you to remember where the extra 5 minutes could be.  Were you travelling as a family with children or a disabled person where getting them in and out of the car would take longer. Was there difficulty finding a space, or having to queue to get out of the car park . Or anything else that could account for another 5 minutes  without having to claim the difference between the ANPR times and the actual times.

    • 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 took out an unsecured loan with Lloyds bank early 2008 for £15k and defaulted on the account in 2009 upon separation with my violent ex partner. 

 

The debt has since been passed onto Cabot Financial debt collectors with a current balance according to them for £10k roughly. 

 

I have an 8 year old child who was diagnosed with ADHD when he was 6 years old and at present I am his sole carer since his father left us when he was 12months old.  

I too was diagnosed with ADHD in late 2018 and have my own struggles along with trying to support my child throughout school. 

 

I am just about managing to meet my mortgage payments each month and my child and I are currently living in sub standard living conditions which I must urgently resolve therefore I cannot afford to make payments to them right now although I'm not refusing to in the future. 

 

The issue i have with them is the constant bombardment of letters and telephone calls to my landline even though I have informed them over the telephone I am not in a position to make payments at present. 

 

I am am concerened they will take me to court because on top of all my other problems I don't feel I could mentally take anymore right now and not being stabilised on my medication. 

 

I would appreciate any advice thank you

Have you been making these token payments all the time since it was defaulted? If it has that I'm afraid that has kept the debt alive because otherwise it might have been statute barred. Who was it who recommended that you make £1 token payments?


This was a loan made under the consumer credit act – have you asked for a CCA agreement?

Citizens advice advised me to make token payments after the account defaulted however I refuse to have token payments taken from my bank account since 28 March 2018 to avoid going overdrawn for I have no overdraft and have been penalised with bank charges therefore I stopped them. 

 

No I haven't asked for a CCA.

Were I expect that site team member @dx100uk will be along at some point to provide some more direct advice, but I suggest that you start off by making a CCA request. I'm afraid that the payment of a regular 1 pound token has kept the debt alive otherwise it might have been statute barred.

A proper approach by citizens advice or any other agency would have been to test the enforceability of the debt by trying to find out if there was a CCA agreement. However, the debt was a lot younger then and so it is probably more likely that the agreement existed. I suppose there is a slight possibility that it doesn't exist now.

Make a statutory CCA request – they have 12 days +2 days of service to provide it.

Hi, thank you for your response.  

 

I will make a statutory CCA request this week to Lloyds bank or Cabot Financial? 

 

Also Lloyds bank contacted me via letter last month to inform me that they have refunded £100.02 back into my account before they moved me to Cabot financial for they incorrectly applied some interest to my account when they shouldn't have. They also advise me to contact Cabot in relation to this.

why did I think there was a charge...silly me.

 

Lloyds sold the debt to cabot for <15p=£1 and cabot will try and fleece you for the full balance.

 

get a CCa request off to Cabot ASAP

 

o'd also get an sar off the LLoyds to get all the statements  etc

as there will be a very good reason why LLoyds did do court as they do, and would of crushed you.

 

don't be scared od DCA's they are not bailiffs

and have

ZERO legal powers on ANY debt.

Thank you for your response. 

 

I have questioned why Lloyds bank haven't already taken me to court already and I thought maybe it is due to having my own property perhaps? 

 

I shall CCA Cabot and send a SAR to Lloyds bank and I will update the thread accordingly.

Far more likely that they would take you to court if they knew that you had a valuable asset. That would give them an opportunity to place a charge on your property. They haven't done this so it's even more interesting

I agree with you and I am totally intrigued with this matter now. 

 

In all fairness the loan should never have been agreed for I wasn't in full time employment at the time and I was on medication for depression which I learnt was ADHD in 2018. The loan was to consolidate my existing debts into one so I could manage it better. 

 

I am not refusing to pay the debt for I took the money but I am not in a position at present to make payments to clear the account. I hope this changes in the future.  

 

i have financial and personal problems upon which I am trying to keep a roof over my childs head and raise him as a single parent. This isn't easy since he has ADHD himself and is struggling and behind academically at school. 

 

I am at the end of my teather with it all.

well stop being at the end of your tether and stop worrying about the morality of paying this loan (or any other consumer debt) back to a fleecing DCA..throw the morality card out the window..they do..they couldn't careless about your situation...so neither should you.

 

await the results of the CCA/SAR and stay OFF that phone regarding ANY debt.

you are under NO legal obligation to converse with ANYONE regarding ANY debt at your door, on the phone or by email.

WRITING from iow on ONLY.

No.  It's not about contact - it's about acknowledging the debt.

 

Where did you read that???

debt camel can be good but it sometimes wanders into freeman of the land twaddle.

 

you do not have to id yourself nor sign a cca request ..which always goes to the present owner of a debt.

 

however an sar is the total opposite, if you have moved you should provide say a ctax copy par example to prove who/where you are now and you always sign an sar…-it that always goes to the original creditor, regardless to present ownership,

 

neither can reset the sb clock as they are legal requests .

This is terrible advice from the CAB. It's one thing to make token payments before a default, to try and stop it happening in the first place but afterwards it's totally against your best interest.

 

Once you have done the CCA and SAR as advised above, its worth browsing through the below link

 

https://cdn.ymaws.com/csa-uk.site-ym.com/resource/resmgr/docs/code_of_practice/code_of_practice.pdf

 

This is the Credit Services Association of which all trading styles of Cabot are a member of.There is a section about halfway through on dealing with health and mental health issues, 

 

k. Upon identifying a customer with health problems, including mental health and customers with disabilities, consider what evidence of their health problem is necessary and appropriate, especially in circumstances where seeking such evidence could add a cost burden to the customer. This would include requesting evidence through the Debt and Mental Health Evidence Form. l. In instances where a customer is in a vulnerable situation, only initiate court action if it is reasonable and proportionate to do so. m. Ensure information in relation to a customer’s vulnerable.

 

 

It might well be that them not being able to dig up a CCA will be the end of the matter but the above might be another weapon in your aresnal to get them off your back if it isn't. A consultant's / doctors letter with medications , side effects etc can be a powerful tool, to end these things.

We could do with some help from you.
