    • next time dont upload 19 single page pdfs use the sites listed on upload to merge them into one multipage pdf.. we aint got all day to download load single page files 2024-01-15 DBCLegal SAR.pdf
    • If you have not kept the original PCN you can always send an SAR to Excel and they have to send you all the info they have on you within a month. failure to do so can lead to you being able to sue them for their failure.......................................nice irony.
    • Thank you and well done  for posting up all those notices it must have have taken you ages.. The entrance sign is very helpful since the headline states                    FREE PARKING FOR CUSTOMERS ONLY in capitals with not time limit mentioned. Underneath and not in capitals they then give the actual times of parking which would not be possible to read when driving into the car park unless you actually stopped and read them. Very unlikely especially arriving at 5.30 pm with possibly other cars behind. On top of that the Notice goes on to say that the terms and conditions are inside the car park so the entrance sign cannot offer a contract it is merely an offer to treat. Inside the car park the signs are mostly too high up and the font size too small to be able to read much of their signs. DCBL have not shown a single sign that can be read on their SAR. Although as they show photographs which were taken the year after your alleged breach we do not know what the signs were when you were there. For instance the new signs showed the charge was then £100 whereas your PCN was for £85. Who knows, when you were there perhaps the time was for 3 hours. They were asked to produce  planning permission which would have been necessary for the ANPR cameras alone and didn't do so. Nor did they provide a copy of the contract-DCBL  "deeming them disproportionate or not relevant to the substantive issues in the dispute" How arrogant and untruthful is that? The contract and planning permission could be vital to having the claim thrown out. I can find no trace of planning permission for the signs nor the cameras on Tonbridge Council planning portal. and the contract of course is highly relevant since some contracts advise the parking rouges that they cannot take motorists to Court. I understand that Europarks are now running that car park which means that nexus didn't  last long before being thrown out.....................................
    • Hi,   I am not sure if I posted this already here but I don't think I did. I attach a judgement that raises very interesting points IMO. Essentially EVRi did their usual non attendance that we normally see, however the judge (for the first time I've seen in these threads) dismissed the notice and awarded me judgement by default because their notice misses the "confirmation of compliance" paragraph. in and out in 3 minutes (aside from the chat at the end with the judge about his problems with evri) Redacted - evri CPR loss.pdf

    • 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.

We received a final demand from lewis' this morning regarding a next account. my wife contacted them and got an agreement to pay £3 per month off a £1500 debt. She reckons next have been levying £30 late payment charges over the last 6 years. she thinks the account was set up over the phone and she doesn't recall signing anything. The plan is to send next an SAR and request a copy of the agreement. Anybody got any other suggestion, much appreciated any help.

sent the request for a copy of the agreement 10 days age , since then not heard a thing. Sent it recorded delivery but nothing has shown up on the royal mail website. do next normally ignore such requests, where do we stand when the 12 day is up?

 

Don't write to anyone!

 

Call the 0845 No on the back of the REC/DEL slip, go thru the automated bit and request a real person (!), ask for proof of del to be emailed to you if they can't provid it on website (this is what you paid for!), they did it for me in just over an hour.

 

Good luck, Dave.

If the cheque was cashed, you have irrefutable proof that the letter was received, the only thing you don't have...... yet...... is the exact date. Call the 0845 number..... then......

 

Just sit back and let them commit an offence :D

the cheque was cashed on the 7th feb and we have heard nothing. Just to get a few things straight in my head:

 

1 Next pass debt to lewis who contact wife who agrees to pay £3 per month

2 We send cca requst to next who cash cheque and have now gone over the 12 day limit in which to respond.

3 After 30 days we get into criminal offence territory. At what point do we tell next and lewis to go away?

 

All help is really appreciated, without the people on this site my bottle would have gone long ago. Thank you!

Thanks, so we should tell lewis that the debt is not enforceable and stop payment and then sit tight? I hope so that would mean that i have cleared "2k off our debts ove the last week.

 

You're missing the point just a little. Whilst in default the debt is unenforceable. There's still a chance that they will provide the agreement before an offence has been committed, and it will kick in again depending on them providing what is seen as an acceptable copy (by law) of the agreement, certainly don't count your chickens though! Even if they do provide an acceptable copy after the offence has been committed they still have the option of going to court but they would have to explain why they committed an offence... Hope that makes a little bit of sense, it sure wouldn't have to me just a few months ago! :grin:

 

Good luck, Dave.

Cheers, the more i read the darker it becomes although its starting to make sense. So to enforce the debt next have to provide a copy of the ageement, if they are unable to is that game over?

 

This might help.......

 

OFT rsponse to failing to provide agreement:

 

 

For your information, the general effects of sections 77-79 requires the creditor/owner

(in the case of a hire agreement) under an agreement for (fixed-sum credit, running

account credit and hire agreement) to provide the debtor/hirer with a copy of the executed

agreement and a statement of account on request.

 

If a creditor/owner fails to comply with a valid request within a period of 12 days

(not including the date of receipt of the request) he may not enforce the agreement at all.

This prevents enforcement with or without a court order. If a default lasts for a month

(for example a calendar month) it constitutes an offence. We understand your concerns in

this matter but please do remember however that once the creditor/owner complies with

the request albeit out of time, he may once again enforce the agreement.

 

A ‘true copy’ of an agreement principally consists of the terms and conditions of the agreement

and the statutory content of the agreement. The name, address and signature of the debtor do

not have to be provided. Additionally, the creditor must supply the total sum paid under the

agreement by the debtor; the total sum which has become payable under the agreement but

remains unpaid; and the total sum which is to become payable under the agreement by the debtor

(the latter two must include the various amounts comprised in that total sum and the date when

each is/was due). However, the copy must be a copy. It need not be exact on immaterial points,

but it cannot be a conjectured reconstruction. If the trader has no original copy, the trader will have

difficulty showing that he has complied with the regulation by supplying a ‘true copy’, since nobody

would know what was in the original. When the trader comes to enforce the debt in court, he needs

to have a signed copy of the agreement in order to enforce. As the law stands currently he cannot

otherwise.

 

In the absence of a copy of the original agreement someone's liability for a debt can only lead to

further query. However in circumstances like this we would view it is as unfair practice under

section 25(2) (d) of the Act and relevant to licence fitness if a trader failed to investigate and/or

provide details as appropriate when a debt is queried or disputed.

 

 

 

 

Bed time!

Can I just clarify here because the CCA request should have been sent to Lewis Group. They are the ones seeking to enforce the debt (they have probably bought it from Next). In order to establish their legitimate right to enforce the debt they have to be able to supply the Agreement. They should also provide statements of account in order to comply with the OFT guidelines on debt collection.

 

You should have sent a S.A.R. to Next in order to establish whether there were any penalty charges levied on the account which are reclaimable.

 

They are two separate issues.

 

I wouldn't be at all surprised if Lewis Group did come up with the Agreement (they did for me) and I would strongly recommend in this case that your wife keeps up the £3 a month agreed payments whilst this is being sorted out because if she doesn't they are quite likely to apply for a CCJ against her and for the sake of a couple of £3 payments it just isn't worth it (in my opinion)

 

I know that probably none of what I have said will be welcome news to you but, I felt that they were important details to point out.

 

To summarise:

 

S.A.R - (Subject Access Request) to Next to obtain your statements

 

CCA to Lewis Group to obtain the Agreement/up to date statement of account.

Thanks for all that.

This morning we received this letter from next.

 

I acknowledge that next retail ltd does not hold a CCA agreement signed by you.

 

However, the goods that have been charged to your account have been ordered by and delivered to you, without payment in full having been made for them. You therefore remain in debt to next directory.

 

 

any advice please?
