    • I have just read the smaller print on their signs. It says that you can pay at the end of your parking session. given that you have ten minutes grace period the 35 seconds could easily have been taken up with walking back to your car, switching on the engine and then driving out. Even in my younger days when I used to regularly exceed speed limits, I doubt I could have done that in 35 seconds even when I  had a TR5.

    • Thank you for posting up the results from the sar. The PCN is not compliant with the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012 Schedule 4. Under Section 9 [2][a] they are supposed to specify the parking time. the photographs show your car in motion both entering and leaving the car park thus not parking. If you have to do a Witness Statement later should they finally take you to Court you will have to continue to state that even though you stayed there for several hours in a small car park and the difference between the ANPR times and the actual parking period may only be a matter of a few minutes  nevertheless the CEL have failed to comply with the Act by failing to specify the parking period. However it looks as if your appeal revealed you were the driver the deficient PCN will not help you as the driver. I suspect that it may have been an appeal from the pub that meant that CEL offered you partly a way out  by allowing you to claim you had made an error in registering your vehicle reg. number . This enabled them to reduce the charge to £20 despite them acknowledging that you hadn't registered at all. We have not seen the signs in the car park yet so we do not what is said on them and all the signs say the same thing. It would be unusual for a pub to have  a Permit Holders Only sign which may discourage casual motorists from stopping there. But if that is the sign then as it prohibits any one who doesn't have a permit, then it cannot form a contract with motorists though it may depend on how the signs are worded.
    • Defence and Counterclaim Claim number XXX Claimant Civil Enforcement Limited Defendant XXXXXXXXXXXXX   How much of the claim do you dispute? I dispute the full amount claimed as shown on the claim form.   Do you dispute this claim because you have already paid it? No, for other reasons.   Defence 1. The Defendant is the recorded keeper of XXXXXXX  2. It is denied that the Defendant entered into a contract with the Claimant. 3. As held by the Upper Tax Tribunal in Vehicle Control Services Limited v HMRC [2012] UKUT 129 (TCC), any contract requires offer and acceptance. The Claimant was simply contracted by the landowner to provide car-park management services and is not capable of entering into a contract with the Defendant on its own account, as the car park is owned by and the terms of entry set by the landowner. Accordingly, it is denied that the Claimant has authority to bring this claim. 4. In any case it is denied that the Defendant broke the terms of a contract with the Claimant. 5. The Claimant is attempting double recovery by adding an additional sum not included in the original offer. 6. In a further abuse of the legal process the Claimant is claiming £50 legal representative's costs, even though they have no legal representative. 7. The Particulars of Claim is denied in its entirety. It is denied that the Claimant is entitled to the relief claimed or any relief at all.

    • 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 all, spent the last hour navigating round the site for answers :-(

forgive me if this is the wrong place to post this enquiry.

 

In October 2014, due to ill health and having to give up a very well paid job, I couldn't satisfy my debts, before illness I could easily afford car payments etc.  I was advised  by my IFA that bankruptcy would be the only way forward. March 2015, I went through the process of declaring myself bankrupt, a very soul destroying process I have to say.

 

I recently had occasion to check my credit score through Transunion, Equifax and Experian, and find that most of my old debts have disappeared from my report apart from 2 from O2 and one from FGA (for car loan),  They appear to have issued continuous default notices and renewing the entry every year. 

 

The first default notice from FGA appeared 2 months after the Bankruptcy, and the notices from O2 7 Months after,  I have written to FGA twice and have had no reply and O2 want a certificate of Discharge which cost £70, something I can;t afford.  I've been trying for weeks to resolve this an getting nowhere, can anyone help please

How did you apply for you Bankruptcy...if it was done on line there is no fee for the certificate of discharge.

Your discharge from bankruptcy will happen automatically, so you won't necessarily get proof sent to you.

Email the Insolvency Service [email protected] to get a free confirmation letter. You should only ask for this after the discharge date.

also i believe under the IVA rules a debt should be marked as defaulted in its summary on or before the IVA start date. not just D in the calendar section.

 

the debts should not be showing at all.

and they

are NOT and can NEVER  be BAILIFFS. even if a debt has been to court..

Hi Andy, I applied online but was required to go to court and and give them relevant paperwork and feel

 

All my credit card card debts for three cards no longer show, just O2 for "loan" and outstanding amount for service charge,

 

I disputed this at the time as I was able to pay the service charge monthly call charges if you like, but they refused and disconnected my number as they pulled the plug i didn't consider that I was liable for any future charges. 

 

FGA have just today renewed the entry on equifax, the CRAs should Chase this in my opinion as it appears to me to be a false entry.

opps sorry i was on a small screen an thought IFA was IVA..:lol:

 

i believe the rules are the same though

all debts must be marker defaulted (I'e same as issuing a Default Notice) on or before BK .

 

the CRA's should know this if you provide proof of BK and everything should be removed.

Hi thanks for the info, I'm still struggling,

I have a letter of discharge so discharge was one calendar year of bankruptcy.

 

What is confusing for me is that there are notices of default with the CRAs that are after the date of my bankruptcy but before I was discharged.  I was under the impression that default notices can't be issued after the bankruptcy date.  I could do with some clarification on this if possible.

 

I have written to the CRAs and they tell me it is up to the client (My  Creditors) to add remove entries.  However if those entries should be there how can I bypass the (creditors and insist the CRAs remove the entries?

 

Sorry if I seem a bit hapless it is worrying me as the years are creeping up on me and I don't want any issues on my credit report should anything happen to me.

 

Thanks again

 

Kind regards

Ken

might be worth just letting them know you were declared bankrupt, case number, date and court it was heard in...

and the discharge notice 

 

demand they remove all trace of any debt that was within the BK, tell them they have 14 days or you will raise a serious complaint with the ICO and seek financial damage.

 

it is NOT solely down the the named creditor, though you could hit them with the threat first.
