    • Thanks for posting up the back of the NTK. The good news s that as it does not comply with the Protection of Freedoms Act, it means that you are not liable for the charge as the keeper as I explained in a previous post.  The PC fails for two reasons. The first is that it does not specify the period of parking. All it does is list the arrival and departure times of your car. Obviously that does not include the time taken to drive to the car parking space, manoeuvre the car into the space and later drive from the space to the exit. Nor does their times include things like getting kids disabled people out of and into the car as well as things like returning the trolley whilst still being parked. All of which can add a fair bit of time to the parking period which can then be subtracted from their ANPR times and makes your actual parking time a lot shorter than 118 minutes they seem to think it is. The second reason is that they failed to ask the keeper to pay Schedule 4 Section 9 [2][e]  (e)state that the creditor does not know both the name of the driver and a current address for service for the driver and invite the keeper— (i)to pay the unpaid parking charges You as keeper are now in the clear which is a good reason for you to contact Sainsbury  stating that you are being pursued as the keeper when you are not liable under the Act as well as the oher things I suggested in my previous post. If you don't get it cancelled with Sainsbury this could drag on for months with endless letters unlawfully pushing the price up to scare you into paying.  
    • Brilliant! That's great to hear and honestly pleased I'm wrong, my advice was out of concern. I checked some of your previous posts last night and you've been giving great advice to others at times. Bringing a claim can be serious (counter-claims etc) and it didn't appear you were knowledgeable based on posts so far. Far from an expert myself, just interested and will try to help. I'll sit on the sidelines, best of luck with the claim!
    • Thank you so much for the advice  I will try and up my savings to £500 for the next 6 months. Although I do still have an uphill battle, I feel more able to deal with it.  I hope my experience with the cifas marker helps someone else who finds themselves in that quite horrible situation. It is a huge weight off my shoulders getting it removed.

    • 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.

A company called Fresh Start who I have never had any dealings with constantly calling me at work, despite me asking (and then telling) them several times to remove my details from their register. When I say I will complain they hang up.

LCS (Leeds) constantly sending me POSTCARDS stating that their representative will call at my home, despite an agreement being in place and I havent deviated from it.

Halifax bank who are charging my son an extortionate £5 a day interest for going over his overdraft, which incidently went over his overdraft due to their own charges ! Despite requesting the account and charges be frozen they have ignored his letters and still keep piling on the charges.

 

If anyone can shed any light on where to go or advice on what to do about any of the above (aside the mass complaint) Id be most grateful : )

Good evening,

 

I can help you out with LCS they are not a firm of Solicitors, the Solicitor who 'uses' this name is a Mr R. Marr, and he is stated to be 'an employee of 1st Credit (Finance) Ltd.

 

A report to the SRA would stop Mr Marr in his tracks and a report to the OFT will do wonders - 1st Credit already on restrictions with OFT!

 

What a load of of hapless clowns.....

 

Best wishes to all as always

Evening all,

 

Speaking as an ex-policeman I could not agree more : it is blatant theft - the police will act if you approach them properly...I will be pleased to help you if you wish and can tell you how to get someone to take an interest at the police station!

 

Trading Standards and the FSA also need to be told. Note this shower are Licensed by Office of Fair Trading to carry out this business under licence number 0447202. (Not for a lot longer possibly?)

 

You will also need 'good' evidence to support your case....BUT you WILL succeed against them!

 

Best wishes to all

One problem – where to start

Lots of problems with hostile DCAs who knew full well that accounts where disputed due to

 

Multiple mis selling of Payment Protection Insurance Policies

Breaches of Office of Fair Trading Debt Collection Guidelines

Harassment by 3rd Party Agencies instructed by HBOS

Breaches of Data Protection Act 1998

Breaches of Consumer Credit Act 1974

 

They breached OFT guidelines, via their aggressive collection activities and all have been reported to the regulatory authorities.

 

These are currently the DCAs who have given me trouble:

 

Cap Quest.

1st Credit.

Iqor Recovery.

Apex.

Blair Oliver and Scot (HBoS)

Credit Solutions.

Mercers.

Calders. Nelson Guest Solicitors (for hire)

Cabot.

Moorcroft

Robinson Way

Wescot.

CL Finance.

Reliable Collections (J D Williams)

Sta Graydon

 

I must have missed a few but ...

Morning all,

 

The important thing to remember is this DO NOT GIVE IN TO ANY THREATS OF ACTION IN ANY FORM - ONLY A COURT CAN ORDER RECOVERY TO SETTLE DISPUTES AND EVEN THEN ONLY WHEN THAT CLAIM IS VALID IN LAW.

'THE MORE YOU STAND UP TO BULLIES THE SMALLER THEY BECOME' -[ My late mother's words not mine - but true nonetheless.]

 

In the meantime compliments of the season to all of my fellow Caggers, and here's to a very busy New Year!

 

Sincere best wishes to all,

 

Dougal

Scotcall...doorstep visit last night, left me a mobile number to call. Asked him who the debt belonged to "not at liberty to say" asked him what his vague threat of "they want to move it to the next stage" meant "not at liberty to say" He kept insisting I make a CREDIT CARD payment over the phone to prevent "further actions" he couldn't explain... I let him tie himself in knots for ten minutes, then emailed his head office stating the account was in dispute. They have bounced it back...

I was being pestered by somebody a while ago - could have been Westcotts.

When they ring they say they have to go through identity checks.

I said I wouldn't divulge my personal information over the phone to a complete stranger and they had to verify their identity to me.

After a few calls they stopped calling.

For two and a half years I have been harassed by Activ Kapital for a CC debt I know nothing about. They have failed to provide a CCA, did send an application form after a year, state they have no obligation to provide a CCA or any financial statement. They don't acknowledge that the application form is not a CCA. I have now written a complaint to the OFT. I understand the OFT issued a warning to them in December about trying to claim money in this manner. I hope they will now have their licence revoked.

I've just looked Aktiv Kapital up. How is it even in the slightest bit possible if these people have no CCA or anything signed ???

 

 

Good morning,

 

Can you explain this comment for our benefit? I must be very dense this morning (situation normal) but I do not see the point that you are making!

 

Kind regards to all

No problem. I'd never heard of them before so I looked them up to see what they do and was quite flabbergasted at

1) what they do

2) the scale

3 The number of complaints

and by the looks of things taking on accounts when they know there's no CCA.
