    • Sending you a big hug. I’m sorry your going through this. The letters they send sound aweful, and the waiting game for them to stop. But these guys seem so knowledgable and these letters should stop. Hang in there, and keep in touch. Don’t feel alone 
    • In my time I've never seen a payout/commission from a PPC to a landlord/MA. Normally the installation of all the cameras/payment of warden patrols etc is free but PPCs keep 100% of the ticket revenue. Not saying it doesn't happen mind. I've done some more digging on this: Remember, what your lease doesn't say is just as important as what it does say. If your lease doesn't mention a parking scheme/employment of a PPC/Paying PCNs etc you're under no legal obligation to play along to the PPC's or the MA's "Terms and conditions". I highly doubt your lease had a variation in place to bring in this permit system. Your lease will likely have a "quiet enjoyment" clause for your demised space and the common areas and having to fight a PPC/MA just to park would breach that. Your lease has supremacy of contract, but I do agree it's worth keeping cool and not parking there (and hence getting PCNs) for a couple months just so that the PPC doesn't get blinded by greed and go nuclear on you if you have 4 or 5 PCNs outstanding. At your next AGM, bring it up that the parking controls need to be removed and mention the legal reasons why. One reason is that under S37(5b) Landlord and Tenant Act 1987,  more than 75% of leaseholders and/or the landlord would have needed to agree, and less than 10% opposed, for the variation to take place. I highly doubt a ballot even happened before the PPC was bought in so OPS even being there is unlawful, breaching the terms of your lease. In this legal sense,  the communal vote of the "directors" of the freehold company would have counted for ONE vote of however many flats there are (leases/tenants) + 1 (landlord). It's going to be interesting to see where this goes.  
    • @Whyisitthisthank you very much for asking. I am still feeling anxious, especially when someone rings the doorbell, or when I receive a letter I feel a it paranoid. I stopped going to the shops unless I really have to. I shop online now. When I see security I feel paralised. 
    • My expectation was their WS would include the best paperwork, like at least true copies of originals, but these just look wrong somehow, perhaps the font and size of font... Not sending me the DN in CCA request but producing it for evidence I would argue could be a tactic used by them... - Page 11 with ticks - there is no reference to IP addresses - Home addresses are correct for dates in documents   Just looking up example Defendant WS's while awaiting your thoughts on this

    • 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

 

Received a letter before action so sent a CCA request back

 

They have returned with a digital signature application form but there is nothing stating the credit limit, % Apr.

 

1.Is this enough for them to proceed to court?

 

On another note, I am in the process of moving house,

 

1. Do I legally need to inform them of me moving house?

 

2. If my mail is returned to them but they issue court proceedings to my old house and I dont get the paperwork, does that reset the time? ie if I left appealing the CCJ until after the 6 years?

 

3. How do you defend digital signatures?

Its for a credit card.

 

I thought that a CCA request would then have all the details ie statements terms and conditions etc.

 

Do I need to SAR them instead?

Just received a letter of claim from Lowell. Old Vanquis debt.

 

Default Date was May 2016.

 

Now what I would like to know is if I want to make an arrangement, would this then update my credit file? All I am getting on file is D.

 

I cant remember this debt, lot of things have happened since then and I have various credit cards then.

 

If I was to contest it what would I need to do now?

 

Thanks

There is absolutely zero point in making an arrangement to pay, all this does is mark your credit file with AP markers, even worse than D.....

 

You've got two more years of default markers on your CRF, then it'll drop off your file never to be seen again.

 

If Vanquis didn't want their 3k then why do you think they flogged it on to these clowns?

 

Lowlifes are simply hot air, until anyone comes up with enforceable paperwork then sit on your hands, file lowlifes silly missives in a drawer and forget about them, unless they think they have any evidence to put this before a judge, they're simply willy waving.

 

P.S. what's this ''notice of acting'' malarkey they're spouting on about?? Next thing they'll be telling you their letters are ''Valid even if not read by you!!''

All I am seeing here is them sending you standard responses to whatever letters you're sending them.

 

In my opinion, I'd be ignoring them, if Vanquis flogged this on then it's a toxic debt and something must be wrong with it, otherwise Vanquis would be wanting the money back.

 

If you rattle their cage too many times then they'll put you to the top of their list of mug awaits fleecing and scare you into paying money you don't owe.

 

Have they actually sent you a PAPLOC letter? Or is all you have this drivel?

Defence

 

The Defendant contends that the particulars of claim are vague and generic in nature.

The Defendant accordingly sets out its case below and relies on CPR r 16.5 (3) in relation to any particular allegation to which a specific response has not been made.

 

Therefore the Claimant is put to strict proof to:

a) show how the Defendant has entered into an agreement ; and

b) show how the Defendant has reached the amount claimed for; and

c) Show or evidence a Default Notice /Notice of Sums in Arrears,

d) show how the Claimant has the legal right, either under statute or equity to issue a claim;

 
As per Civil Procedure Rule 16.5(4), it is expected that the Claimant prove the allegation that the money is owed.

 

Despite numerous requests being made under the Consumer Credit Act 1974, for the agreement and the other documents referred to in the Statement of Particulars and on payment of the statutory fee of £1.00; the Claimant remains in breach of the Sec 78 request.

 

They have failed to supply under Section 61A (1) a copy of the agreement on numerous occasions and such the defendant states that Lowells in fact does not have a copy of this agreement and any copy produced at this time is not a true copy of the original agreement.

 

A further request made via CPR 31.14, after the claim had been issued, requesting other documents on which the Claimant claim relies upon.

The claimant has failed to respond.

 

Until such time the claimant can comply with the above sec 78 request is therefore prevented from enforcing or seeking the relief claimed or any relief.

My respect to people who post regularly and help people out on here. Without your help alot of wrongs would have been committed.
