    • 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.

    • 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.

HFC Marbles credit card SD - was dismissed as voluntary joint charge provided - now owed by Cabot - settled at home sale - was i overcharged?


Recommended Posts

I think the debt has been sold as the old entry has been marked as settled, so the new owners have now taken

over the registering of the debt.

I expect you will be getting contact in the near future until then there is not much you can do.

As soon as they do contact post up the details and help will be here.

If you are continuing to make the agreed repayments on the debt then any assignment I think has to honour that agreement.

I found it buried it's old but relevant .

Goes back a long way.

In guidance on debt.

A court should consider that if a debtor is already making payments by

arrangement that the creditor may agree to continue but may ask the court for variations

of amount and frequency of payments.

I can even give the history as this in not from a web sit but from an incomplete

archived document.

With regard to the 2 CRA entries, the OC has now Assigned the debt, so presumably has closed your files and marked as settled. A second CRA entry will then be put up for the same debt but by the Assignee, but it should contain all of the same information ie Default and Start dates as the original entry from the OC. What is confusing though, is if this has happened, why is the OC still accepting payments?

Could this be in house collections replacing the oc's company name?

UPDATE

Just found this on the OFT web site. http://www.oft.gov.uk/shared_oft/press_release_attachments/HFC-requirements.pdf

As my situation was before this ruling, but encompassed some of the items mentioned, large increase in sum owed, unreasonable behaviour (not responding to and denying receipt of "signed for" letters, etc.

Can I use this to remove charge.

Any Thoughts welcome.

Hello everyone!

On looking through posts generally, and specifically reading Brigadier2JCS's post no. 14 on here

http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/fowthread.php?431146-Grandfather-had-died-but-has-debts-what-to-do

it prompted me to ask a question.

Facts:

I have a charge in favour of a card provider on my house (debt incurred in my name, house in joint name with OH)

Charge was made before I found this site, and in response to SD and bankruptcy threats.

I was paying off regular amounts before charge, and after DN and have continued to pay monthly amounts, not missing any.

Payments are made directly to the card provider.

Since the charge, debt has been "assigned" twice, but I only have a solicitors word for this, nothing from the OC.

The charge is showing on the Land Registry site as being in favour of the OC.

My question is:

As the debt has been "assigned", in order for the charge to be effective, shouldn't the Land Registry details reflect the alleged current owner of the debt?

Surely a third party cannot claim a charge in this way?

Any advice and/or help welcome.

 

Thanks. t

You would be wise to check your credit ref. files to see who is registered as the owner of the debt.

The debt may have been "assigned" to a 3rd party for collection/management only.

These debt purchase companies, one of which claims to have been assigned the debt which is the subject of the Charging Order, can be a bit slow on the uptake.

However, their failure to update the Land Registry has no legal effect on the Order itself, even though it would be normal to request the Court to vary the judgement in favour of the new assignee, and then update the LR. If the previous assignee was paid accidentally then they would be obliged to pass the money to the new assignee.

It isn't quite correct to say that a CO cannot be made on jointly-owned property. It can, but it's unusual to request one because obtaining a Sale Order would be virtually impossible (the other joint owner has a right not to be disturbed).

If you jointly sell the property in the future then the CO will have to be satisfied from the OP's share of equity in the house, with the joint owner remaining unaffected. However, if the OP's equity is insufficient then the beneficiary of the CO could theoretically block the sale, so their permission should be sought beforehand.

If the debt is repaid before any sale then the CO should be removed and the LR record updated to its previous, unrestricted state.

Debt not showing on files anymore, as over the time limit.

Last statement received was from 2nd assignee, though statement shows all payments which are being made to OC,

who the charge is registered to.

I have had letters from same solicitors, who have acted for OC as well as allegedly 1st and 2nd assignees saying words to the effect that " all benefits/conditions of debt now passed on to assignees, who now own the debt" I could look up exact wording if you think that relevant.

Indeed at one stage this one debt was being reported to the CRA's as three by the various parties!

Last "assignment" was made some considerable time ago, more than 1 year anyway.

Incidentally, the debt was shown as "satisfied" by the OC, when it was being reported to the CRA's.

Thanks for this, when it comes to sale, I will have to find an efficient solicitor/conveyancer. 

Debt dates from 2007. No PPI, tried for charges but refused, have not pursued this yet.

Thanks, what would be the best way to obtain please?

From the OC or their solicitor (who also acts for the assignees)?

Would I need to see both 1st and 2nd assignments?

I seem to remember reading on other threads on here that OC's (and presumably their agents/solicitors) refuse to provide or are very reluctant to provide actual copies of assignments to debtors.

This is slightly incorrect.

A CO cannot be placed on a jointly owned property.

It would be a Restriction and permission would not be needed to sell.

Also, although most people would satisfy the CO from the debtors share of the equity, not doing so would not prevent the sale if done properly and you have a good conveyancer who knows the law in this area. The creditor just needs to be notified, it's all about timing.

There's plenty of info on this on CAG if you read around this issue.

Plenty of people have sold property without paying the restriction.

Thanks for this.

However, the phrase on the Land Register is: "Charge dated ** *** 2007 in favour of HFC Bank Limited"

Would this still be described as a "restriction" please? 

The OC is Marbles, their solicitor, Weightmans, pushed for charging order by consent, which was granted in 2007 without a CCJ.

Debt was over £9K.

Wish I had known about CAG then.

oh god not hfc/weightmans.

did you ever send HFC an SAR to get all the statements - I bet 50%+ of that debt was PPI and unlawful PENALTY charges

Here is the exact entry: Charges Register This register contains any charges and other matters that affect the land.

6. (15.06.2007) Charge dated 19 April 2007 in favour of HFC Bank Limited.

3 of first 5 entries pertain to matters concerning access rights over the property, and 2 concerning the original mortgage and the change of name of bank for the mortgage, not connected with entry number 6 stated above.

You are not wrong with your first statement.

W. did not respond to signed for letters, denied receipt of signed for letters, changed deadlines arbitrarily, even though I had complied with initial deadline.

Tried to add in excess of £1500 to the debt.

All this was BC = (before CAG)!

Yes, I had statements anyway, but I did SAR HFC, interestingly they were showing payments I made on the account even after the alleged "first assignment"

No PPI, some charges which they refused to reimburse

got their "we think they are lawful" response"

That was a few years ago now,

I have not pursued. t

Oh dear, then you've been had.

Bet they didn't explain the difference between CO and Restrictions.

They've made this into a joint debt, very devious of them.

I'd try and have it removed if possible.

Have you still got a copy of what you both signed.

Wat did it say?
