    • 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.

Wow, dwheeler,

 

How wonderful to be so incredibly well organized in your finances. You must be incredibly well paid if the mortgage rate soaring last year, along with the price of petrol at £1.21 a litre, gas increases, electricity increases, food increases, and so on did not affect you. My mortgage came to the end of a fixed rate and doubled overnight because of the interest rate rises, but as we all know employees of banks always get special deals, so I doubt if the same happened to you. There again, if you can really afford to save 25% of your salary, maybe you live with your mum and dad and don't have any dependants?

 

One day you might have to deal with some tragedy in your life which will stop you working, or you could just be made redundant, at a time when you have dependants. A lot of people go up to their credit limit because they have NO other money with which to pay their bills. No-one would seriously use a credit card to pay their gas bill, for example, incurring interest on that amount, if they had cash with which to pay it.

 

Actually, I think some people might use the gun if it were offered - because they have been driven to it by debt collectors, and I emphasise I am not making a joke of this as you appear to be.

 

Well, I suppose at least if you lose your job for any reason you'll have those Barclays shares to sell .....

 

A number of us here don't know what we actually owe anyway, if anything, because Barclaycard won't send the agreements.

Mergers just sent me a nice letter stating they are going to send someone round to see me - another breach in OFT guidelines while in breach of my LAWFUL request for a copy of my cca - bring it on you muppets and bring your own vasoline for that phone !

Now listen up Caggers...you borrowed the money & have a moral obligation to pay back - you are all just trying to wriggle out of it by playing the legal system to its full extent....you all should be ashamed of yourselves, no wonder this country has gone bust ;):p

Yes because you slag us off for our actions and yet our shares are among few banks to be increasing and we have not asked for any help.

 

I would be interested to know... if you were owed 5.3 Billion which is currecnty our impairment figure, would you accept £1.00 per month and how would you debt collect on this amount??

i think you should ask your bosses about Welcome finance and Cattles Group and then ask about your shares, ooops, did you lends a few hundred million when you shouldnt have

 

trust me, your shares will start to look sick soon when the full extent of welcomes books gets released,

 

oh and do you know what securitisation is yet?

Like most DCA threat monkeys who come on here spouting the same desperate rhetoric he has crawled back under his stone. Still its nice to know that CAG is getting to these people.

CAG isnt just getting to them...it is positivley driving them out of their minds with anger & resentment :D

The whole finance/DCA industry is collapsing & that is in part thanks to sites like CAG which is doing an excellent job in making people aware of their legal rights.

Rights that these companies would rather you didnt have/didnt know about & just did as you were told :rolleyes:

So, that wasn't Barclays then who were recently sweating it out in the Middle East asking for help there instead of here?

 

I do hope you made sure all of the chubby Barclays fingers were still there after doing that particular handshake.

 

A little bird tells me that the Terms were pretty harsh, albeit at a slightly lower Rate of Interest than the lender of last resort had to offer you here when Barclays were indeed demanding cheap bailout help (but didn't like the terms on offer). The clue is in the name: the lender of last resort. What were you expecting, 0% Interest and a free Bank of England Mouse Mat and Pen?

 

Well I will leave you with a final thought.. if you and your family were owed £5 billion which is our current impairment rate...how would you debt collect and would you accept £1.00 per month??
It would be interesting to hear where, exactly, the £5 Billion of Debt you mention came from. Did Barclays really have £5 Billion in cash at some stage, lent it, and now want it all back?

 

Or, did Barclays never actually have £5 Billion in the first place. It seems an awfully large sum to fail to keep control over but, I can see why Barclays are not that bothered about it if Barclays never actually had it in the first place. After all, wanting people to pay at least £5 a Month for something you never had in the first place, is still jolly good money if you can get it. Although I can see why you'd turn your ample noses up at a paltry £1 a Month...that's hardly worth climbing off the Yacht for, is it.

 

It is amazing what a banker can pop into existence at the click of a mouse button. Even more amazing is the other banking trick that multiplies something created from nothing into much, much bigger numbers just by clicking another mouse button! The real skill lies in pressing the button faster than the next banker.

 

But, by far the best banking trick is when all the bankers get together and gamble using a highly complex game where every player is a total loser to start with, and every single one of them loses everything at the end!

 

Credit where it is due, it takes a real feat of arse to find a way to lose more money than all banks have ever made, ever. Yes, the bailouts really are that big Folks.

 

The only slight inconvenience is the way this banking mess has completely trashed our once fine Nation. But, the bankers hope we'll get over it. After all, so long as dull greedy pointless bankers stay in business, that is all that matters to them. Sadly, the Politicians cannot see a problem with this, because the invisble sea of number money that washes all around them pays for their Blue Movies, the all-expenses-paid fact finding trips to sunny places, the expensive restaurants, and the latest Kitchens in their 1st, 2nd and 3rd homes.

 

Cheers,

BRW

Notts

 

Hi Notts,

 

Why do I need to earn more?? I work 30 hours per week, my home is paid for in 12 years, I am happy with the cash I get and the lifestyle I have. if I lost my job tomorrow I have enough savings to clear everything I owe on credit and store cards and I havent remortgaged my home to the hilt so I still have equity - I think its me who can have the last laugh again. you may be on 100k or 200k but you also have the stress to go with it.

 

And just for your info our centre is the only one in the uk and employs 500 staff, if you think thats a big pond then maybe you need to get out a bit more

 

Maybe if people thought more about how to repay credit cards if they lost their job and didnt spend now and worry later they wouldnt need your advice!!!!!

Hi DD

 

actually I pay full price for my mortgage as its not with Barclays cos I bought my house before I started working for them. I am sure that there is a lot of people who are in financial difficulty and I do sympathise which is why me and my team go out of our way to help our customers. the point I was trying to make is that in a lot of cases people strech there borrowing and have 3, 4, or even 5 cards with various bank but still know how much it costs to pay back, all i was saying is that i work out the maximum i can afford to spend and then dont go over it, a lot of people spend and spend and then when we want to some agreement they say you cant get blood out of a stone and offer £1.00.

 

I would like to see people's reaction if it was them who was owed the money and was only offered £1.00.

 

I have asked various people on here and to date NONE of them have replied, if you were owed money and you knew you couldnt survive or feed your kids without it what lengths would you go to ??
