    • I have received a PCN from Euro Car Parks for MFG - Esso Cobham - Gravesend. I was completely unaware that there was any such limit for parking and always considered this to be a service station. I stopped there to use the toilet, have a coffee and made a couple of work calls. I have read the previous topics on this location which suggest I can ignore this and ECP will not take legal action. The one possible complication is that the vehicle is leased by my employer so I do not want to involve them with the associated reminders and threatening letters. The PCN was first issued to the leasing company Arval who have notified ECP of the hiring company. I have attached a copy of the PCN Notice to Hirer with details removed as per instructions. What options do I have or should I just pay the PCN promptly at the reduced rate of £60? img20240424_23142631.pdf
    • What you have uploaded is a letter with daft empty threats from third-party paper tigers.  Just ignore it. What we need to see is the original invoice you received last October or November.
    • Thanks for posting the CPR contents. i do wish you hadn't blanked out the dates and times since at times they can be relevant . Can you please repost including times and dates. They say that they sent a copy of  the original  PCN that they sent to the Hirer  along with your hire agreement documents. Did you receive them and if so can you please upload the original PCN without erasing dates and times. If they did include  all the paperwork they said, then that PCN is pretty near compliant except for their error with the discount time. In the Act it isn't actually specified but to offer a discount for 14 days from the OFFENCE is a joke. the offence occurred probably a couple of months prior to you receiving your Notice to Hirer.  Also the words in parentheses n the Act have been missed off. Section 14 [5][c] (c)warn the hirer that if, after the period of 21 days beginning with the day after that on which the notice to hirer is given, the amount of unpaid parking charges referred to in the notice to keeper under paragraph 8(2)(f) or 9(2)(f) (as the case may be) has not been paid in full, the creditor will (if any applicable requirements are met) have the right to recover from the hirer so much of that amount as remains unpaid; Though it states "if any applicable ...." as opposed to "if all applicable......" in Section 8 or 9. Maybe the Site could explain what the difference between the two terms mean if there is a difference. Also on your claim form they keeper referring to you as the driver or the keeper.  You are the Hirer and only the Hirer is responsible for the charge EVEN IF THEY WEREN'T THE DRIVER. So they cannot pursue the driver and nowhere in the Hirer section of the Act is the hirer ever named as the keeper so NPC are pursuing the wrong person.

    • 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.

Yes, i have the slips. Got a text file with CCA info only- cheque numbers, when cashed (or not), who signed for it, when, dates etc. Getting quite good at admin these days!

 

ah that's the bank lining up to get their just rewards! Nice! :)

 

Good stuff, if you do end up attending Court, this is all very useful!

 

Yes, that's about the measure of it. It's a shame I couldn't find a suitable avatar with an instrument of torture, or I might have had that one instead!;)

A very quick reply from Barclays this morning:

 

Dear Mr x,

 

In my previous letter i promised you with a full response to your complaint as quickly as i could. I am now able to do so.

 

Please find in enclosed copy of your agreement as requested.

 

I hope i have answered all your concerns..etc etc

 

Well, they have fulfilled the CCA request. (Shame). No mention of the other issues raised in being ignored and my requests and detailed questions not being replied to professionally. I guess we are back now to waiting for the next "can you pay us now" letter.

Not sure i would be able to tell a properly executed one from any other to be honest but it is a true copy and that's certainly my signiture. Isn't that's all that's needed to prove the debt is mine?

I have been sent two pages. One is the direct debt with my signiture and the other the interest and amount borrowed/interest rate/repayment terms..60 months etc.

I don't have a scanner but i have a good digital camera which usually makes up for it for copying paper documents to the computer quite clearly.

No worries. Thanks. I did look into what makes a properly executed CCA but didn't reach any conclusions. I'll have another look and see. I'm sure the answer is out there somewhere. Happy Sunday!

Davey Hi - gremlins were afoot yesterday!

I suggest you go on to the CCA thread - it's very long!! post your links to your agreement on that thread & see what they come up with. Also, you could go into "search thread" (on the CCA thread)and type in "prescribed terms "and you may get a bit further with it that way. Let me know what happens?

Hi Davey, I agree with Bird, post it on the CCA thread and get some advice although I have to say it does look pretty comprehensive to me. Which is a pity, as you say.

 

I really think that you ought to get some professional advice with dealing with your debt situation as I think it is highly unlikely that any of them are going to agree to a write-off. You might have some success with your MBNA agreement but I am guessing that most of them are quite recent, am I correct?

 

The fact remains that if any of them were to initiate enforcement action, the Judge would be able to plainly see what your situation is and that it is a long term one. You would only ever be ordered to pay what you could realistically and if that was only a pound a month, that is what it will be.

 

Lets see what comes of all the CCA's and your remaining correspondence and we'll take it from there. It may come to it that you will have to invite them to take you to Court and that outcome could be the best all round.

 

Onwards and upwards!:)

Davey777, Ladybird asked me to have a look at your Agreement and it looks like an executed Agreement to me, terma and conditins, signatures, all the rquired bits and pieces and even the maths are correct. I see it is a recent loan, so I think they have tightened their procedures considerably to comply with the Consumer Credit Act.

 

Cornucopia is right in saying, a Judge would look at your cirmstances and would not order to you repay more than what you can afford. If the Judge orders £1.00 aweek repayment, that is what they have to accept. They might not like it, but they will have to abide by it.

 

Sorry I cannot give a more hopeful answer. Have you been to the CAB yet?

 

I know they will write to your creditors and explain your circumstances.

Hi all, sorry to come in later but I just wondered

- does the typed name of an individual constitute a signature for the creditor?

- did you get a copy of all the terms and conditions as well, Davey777 because those are also needed for S77-79 requests aren't they?

- was the requirement for cancellation rights only extended to credit cards or was it to loans as well and if the latter was this one executed just before the date cancellation rights were a requirement?

- Davey this agreement seems to be executed when you signed it judging from the dates. Did you get a copy of the agreement to keep at the same time as receiving the copy to sign, date and return? If you have no evidence of that then you could ask Barclaycard to prove they did send them at the time. They may be able to come up with a letter showing they did but at least it is worth the question.

 

These are more remote possibilities in the unenforceable agreement arguments but may be worth a bit of research.

We were just discussing stamped signatures on another thread and these are permissible apparently. Some one is researching this further for me, but it looks like it is lawful. A loan agreement is slightly different to the Credit Card agreements.

Thanks for that BA. The signature part is interesting.

Is a loan agreement not part of the compulsory cancellation part of the later regulations? I couldn't work it out as I only found the OFT updates on cancellable agreements and wondered if that was because they all became cancellable. Perhaps not.

thanks all... yes i think the Barclays CCA isn't something i will investigate further. The concensus seems to be that it's AOK.

Yes joneshousehold, i had a copy to keep of that aggreement. I didn't get a full list of terms and conditions as such (although i did at the time of application) but if they can supply me with my aggreement and DD mandate then i suspect they can produce that easily as well. As people have pointed out, it's a recent loan (2006).

 

The only new updates are a reply from Mint and MBNA:

 

Mint:

 

Thank you for your letter.. I can confirm the matter is receiving my attention and I shall be writing to you again shortly.

 

MBNA:

 

Please find enclosed your payment cheque, which has been forwarded to you by your bank. I regret that we are unable to process this payment, as a valid account number has not been quoted.

...Please return this payment to us quoting your account number on the front of the cheque.

We request Customers to write their MBNA account number on the front of the cheque when making a payment, however it is helpful if you also write the name and address of the a/c holder on the rear of the cheque. This will enable us to find your MBNA account should your reference number be misquoted.

 

It may be of interest to you that we have a Direct Debit facility to our Customers etc etc etc....

 

What a load of pettiness over nothing. I don't understand why Lloyds had a problem with it. All account numbers were correct in the letter that accompanied the cheque. I made it out to 'MBNA'. That should have been good enough.

Oh well... a delay in the CCA with MBNA then. I will be writing again with that request and making sure the cheque is good and the details proper.

Thank you for your letter.. please find below the account information relating to your account in accordance with section 77 of the Consumer Credit Act.

Please find enclosed a statement of account and a copy of your legal agreement, for your perusal. The statement enclosed will list any payments received or charges incurred to date.

 

And what i got back was; the application form with my signature, statements showing balance/interest etc for the 1st Nov 06, 2nd Oct 06, 1st Dec 06, 2nd Jan 07 and 1st Mar 07. There was also a leaflet included refering to changes in the T&Cs - effective from 1st Aug 2006.

 

Once again, i am a little unclear as the whether they have fully complied with the CCA or not?

Help me to help you

 

I am aware that you are in a difficult financial situation at the current time. Please call me so that I can come up with a financial plan for you.

 

My goal is not to antagonise you, but to come up with a straightforward plan so that you can repay your debt in a way that is manageable for you. The best way for me to do that is to understand your circumstances.

 

I am willing to discuss your situation and will look to help you by potentially fixing a new payment programme to help you avoid any further charges accruing to this debt. There are many options I can take in relation to reducing your debt and I can guarantee that this type of solution will be offered to you if you complete on of the following actions for me before Friday 27th April 2007:

 

Ring me with details of your financial circumstances so that MBNA can set a reasonable minimum monthly payment that is unique to your circumstances whilst fulfilling MBNA's requirements.

 

Make a minimum payment of £54.80

 

This is my final attempt to help you, please call today to sort out your account.

A reply from MINT regarding the CCA:

 

Dear Mr x,

 

I refer to your letter dated 19th March 2007.

 

Whilst I appreciate your comments, we review each and every account individually and under your current circumstances, the Bank is not prepared to write off the outstanding debt on your Mint credit card. Having said this, to alleviate the pressure of this debt I am willing to accept 70% in full and final settlement (£3500).

 

Your request for documents contains some misconceptions about your entitlement to information in a specific form and our obligations to supply that information. So that there are no misunderstanding here we will set the record straight on the format of the information we are obliged to provide you.

 

Your written request for information made under s78(1) of the Consumer Credit Act must be accompanied by payment of a fee of £1. We are obliged to provide you with a 'true' copy of the credit aggreement and a statement of financial information relating to the account, namely, the state of the account, amount currently due, with amounts and due dates of future payments that still require to be made. In terms of CCA copy document regulations, the 'true' copy reuirement can be satisfied by providing a copy agreement at the date the card agreement was made and proving that plus a copy of the current terms of the card agreement. We are not insisting on payment of the £1 and therefore please find the enclosed.

 

Yours sinceerely, Olivia Mackinnon-Pattison,

Senior Recoveries Officer

No Davey, this is not a true copy of the executed agreement, merely an application form. I would wait until the 12 + 30 is up and then issue a default notice to them.

 

Regarding MBNA and Mint. What has Mint actually provided? Could we see it? Have MBNA provided any sort of agreement or application? I would write to MBNA and tell them you are doing nothing until they produce a true copy of your executed agreement.

 

Regards,
