    • Northmonk forget what I said about your Notice to Hirer being the best I have seen . Though it  still may be  it is not good enough to comply with PoFA. Before looking at the NTH, we can look at the original Notice to Keeper. That is not compliant. First the period of parking as sated on their PCN is not actually the period of parking but a misstatement  since it is only the arrival and departure times of your vehicle. The parking period  is exactly that -ie the time youwere actually parked in a parking spot.  If you have to drive around to find a place to park the act of driving means that you couldn't have been parked at the same time. Likewise when you left the parking place and drove to the exit that could not be describes as parking either. So the first fail is  failing to specify the parking period. Section9 [2][a] In S9[2][f] the Act states  (ii)the creditor does not know both the name of the driver and a current address for service for the driver, the creditor will (if all the applicable conditions under this Schedule are met) have the right to recover from the keeper so much of that amount as remains unpaid; Your PCN fails to mention the words in parentheses despite Section 9 [2]starting by saying "The notice must—..." As the Notice to Keeper fails to comply with the Act,  it follows that the Notice to Hirer cannot be pursued as they couldn't get the NTH compliant. Even if the the NTH was adjudged  as not  being affected by the non compliance of the NTK, the Notice to Hirer is itself not compliant with the Act. Once again the PCN fails to get the parking period correct. That alone is enough to have the claim dismissed as the PCN fails to comply with PoFA. Second S14 [5] states " (5)The notice to Hirer must— (a)inform the hirer that by virtue of this paragraph any unpaid parking charges (being parking charges specified in the notice to keeper) may be recovered from the hirer; ON their NTH , NPE claim "The driver of the above vehicle is liable ........" when the driver is not liable at all, only the hirer is liable. The driver and the hirer may be different people, but with a NTH, only the hirer is liable so to demand the driver pay the charge  fails to comply with PoFA and so the NPE claim must fail. I seem to remember that you have confirmed you received a copy of the original PCN sent to  the Hire company plus copies of the contract you have with the Hire company and the agreement that you are responsible for breaches of the Law etc. If not then you can add those fails too.

    • I understand what you mean. But consider that part of the problem, and the frustration of those trying to help, is the way that questions are asked without context and without straight facts. A lot of effort was wasted discussing as a consumer issue before it was mentioned that the property was BTL. I don't think we have your history with this property. Were you the freehold owner prior to this split? Did you buy the leasehold of one half? From a family member? How was that funded (earlier loan?). How long ago was it split? Have either of the leasehold halves changed hands since? I'm wondering if the split and the leashold/freehold arrangements were set up in a way that was OK when everyone was everyone was connected. But a way that makes the leasehold virtually unsaleable to an unrelated party.

    • 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.

After a somewhat chaotic couple of years of drowning in debt I'm in a good job, sticking to a monthly budget and would love to buy a house in the next year. The issue however is my credit file and old debt.

 

Back in 2016/17 I experienced a period of ill health which saw me lose my job and fall behind with credit card and catalogue debts. I set up temporary arrangements with the majority of the creditors to pay £1 a month as this was all I could afford and I struggled to deal with communication with any of them. Most of the creditors defaulted me in Sept-Nov 2017 and sold the debts to debt collection agencies but there are 3 exceptions:

 

1. Newday Aqua Card

- they kept the debt for 2years with me paying £1 a month and then suddenly closed my account and sold it to Link financial who entered a default in August 2019.

I have only ever made £1 payments to Link financial and they have never pursued more. I'm thinking of submitting an irresponsible lending claim to Aqua as they increased my credit limit numerous times even though i was paying minimum payments and taking out payday loans - is this something I can do?

 

2. Vanquis Card - was paying £1 a month and then they suddenly closed and sold my account to arrow global who then defaulted me  May 2021 . Since the debt has gone to Arrow I have made no payments, they send statements every couple of months but that is it. This is the default that is hurting me the most. The balance is £2,700 should i offer a full and final settlement or challenge the default??

 

3. Creation Finance  Credit Card - No default entered and still with original creditor they just keep marking credit file as 5 months overdue - I pay them £5 a month with a balance of £500 - i'm thinking of offering a Full and final settlement to them.

 

For the defaults entered in 2017 will they fall off my credit file this year even if there is a balance with the debt collection company?

 

Any advice would be great and I'd be so thankful

aqua the OC defaulted you not the DCA.

same with vanquis.

 

debt collectors cant default you no matter what they might claim as the CCA agreement is terminated by the OC upon sale.

 

then regardless to whatever you do

each debt will be removed from your file as that date meets it's 6th B'day, never to return.

doesn't mean the debt is statue barred mind,

.that is if your original creditor did issued you with a default notice under sec 87/8 of the consumer credit act.

 

SB date ...thats down to if you paid or used the 'credit' after that date, or YOU wrote and SIGNED a letter to the debt owner stating i owe you this debt.

please don't hit Quote...just type we know what we said earlier..

DCA's view debtors as suckers, marks and mugs

NO DCA has ANY legal powers whatsoever on ANY debt no matter what it's Type

and they

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

If everyone stopped blindly paying DCA's Tomorrow, their industry would collapse overnight...

on your credit file in the debt summary it will state 

defaulted date=  xxxxx

thats when the OC registered the default having already sent you a DN.

 

a debt buyers name replaces that of the OC on your file when they buy the debt. following their Notice Of Assignment.

About your May 2021 Vanquis Default, with a view to you buying a house next year.

 

1. It will be 3 years old by then, and have a low impact on your mortgage eligibility

2. Paying this default off won't make any difference to that eligibility , it will simply be a waste of £2700

 

Don't pay them anything, but as with all debts if you have moved since taking it out then inform them in writing of your current address, that's just to be aware of any claimfom they might send you, and avoid a back door CCJ that would ruin your chances of a mortgage for at least a year.

We could do with some help from you.

no harm in trying though i would SAR Aqua (newday?) 1st and get the comms log too.

though unless you had numerous defaults already they'll probably be no case to answer for each limit increase . same goes for the PDL's they are your real target here on IRL, but most are now well dead and buried.

not sure what you think you can achieve by challenging a default mind. the quicker a debt is defaulted the quicker it's removed from your file regardless to paying or not.

well thats a true reflection, its a counter, you were late paying or didnt pay or didnt pay the required amount 5 times. not really hurting you at all.

 

paying off any debt by F&F or WHY does not improve your score any.
