    • Thank you for posting up the results from the sar. The PCN is not compliant with the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012 Schedule 4. Under Section 9 [2][a] they are supposed to specify the parking time. the photographs show your car in motion both entering and leaving the car park thus not parking. If you have to do a Witness Statement later should they finally take you to Court you will have to continue to state that even though you stayed there for several hours in a small car park and the difference between the ANPR times and the actual parking period may only be a matter of a few minutes  nevertheless the CEL have failed to comply with the Act by failing to specify the parking period. However it looks as if your appeal revealed you were the driver the deficient PCN will not help you as the driver. I suspect that it may have been an appeal from the pub that meant that CEL offered you partly a way out  by allowing you to claim you had made an error in registering your vehicle reg. number . This enabled them to reduce the charge to £20 despite them acknowledging that you hadn't registered at all. We have not seen the signs in the car park yet so we do not what is said on them and all the signs say the same thing. It would be unusual for a pub to have  a Permit Holders Only sign which may discourage casual motorists from stopping there. But if that is the sign then as it prohibits any one who doesn't have a permit, then it cannot form a contract with motorists though it may depend on how the signs are worded.
    • Defence and Counterclaim Claim number XXX Claimant Civil Enforcement Limited Defendant XXXXXXXXXXXXX   How much of the claim do you dispute? I dispute the full amount claimed as shown on the claim form.   Do you dispute this claim because you have already paid it? No, for other reasons.   Defence 1. The Defendant is the recorded keeper of XXXXXXX  2. It is denied that the Defendant entered into a contract with the Claimant. 3. As held by the Upper Tax Tribunal in Vehicle Control Services Limited v HMRC [2012] UKUT 129 (TCC), any contract requires offer and acceptance. The Claimant was simply contracted by the landowner to provide car-park management services and is not capable of entering into a contract with the Defendant on its own account, as the car park is owned by and the terms of entry set by the landowner. Accordingly, it is denied that the Claimant has authority to bring this claim. 4. In any case it is denied that the Defendant broke the terms of a contract with the Claimant. 5. The Claimant is attempting double recovery by adding an additional sum not included in the original offer. 6. In a further abuse of the legal process the Claimant is claiming £50 legal representative's costs, even though they have no legal representative. 7. The Particulars of Claim is denied in its entirety. It is denied that the Claimant is entitled to the relief claimed or any relief at all.

    • 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.

Had 2 page letter response back stating that:

 

"As a business we are entitled to set charges to cover additional work........

You accepted these terms when you opened your account. These charges are not hidden and are notified in in the guide to banking charges leaflet we produce .....

I am unable to agree with your request to refund the charges ...............

The last para. says "if you are unhappy with my decision and feel that you have something to add which might change the outcome, please get in touch. If we cannot agree on a solution at that point, I will help you refer your complaint to the Financial Ombudsman Service for independent arbitration.

 

So what's my next step please?

Hi geteven,

 

Unfortunately, Lloyds seem to enjoy forcing people to go as far as this step - and often well beyond it. There are numerous cases throughout this forum where people have had to return the Allocation Questionnaire.

 

Allocation Questionnaires - A guide to completion contains all you really need to know about filling the AQ out. In every case so far, Lloyds have offered a full settlement (usually with some conditions attached, which you don't necessarily have to agree to) before the claimant had to actually enter the court.

 

It'll be worth your while reading other people's threads in this forum - particularly the longer ones with 'Claim Settled' in the title, as it will give you a much better idea of the process that people have had to follow.

reload vs Lloyds - £2703.11 Settlement Reached 14/07/06.

reload vs Lloyds Round 2 - Prelim sent 27/03/07. £435 owed.

reload vs Capital One - £456.57 Settlement Reached 14/07/06.

reload's mum vs Barclays - £745 owed. £375 partial settlement reached 17/10/06.

I was recently told by a Mortgage Advisor that there is a default on my credit history in May 2000 (!), but he couldn't tell who was the perpetrator of this? I have asked Lloyds Bank if they have any information, and sent for my credit report from Experian, which I've received. But can someone tell me how I can locate it on that please, as it may give me a clue as to who to approach to get it removed. Although is it true that after 6 years defaults are ineffective?

You can get a copy of your credit file to see what information is held about you, including Defaults and CCJs.

 

There are now 3 main credit reference agencies called, Experian, Equifax and Callcredit plc. You should check information held by all these agencies as some information may be different.

 

These are the contact details for the three agencies:

Experian Ltd

Consumer Help Service

PO Box 8000

Nottingham NG80 7WF

Tel: 0870 241 6212

Credit Reports: Get your Credit Report from Experian UK

(you can order your credit file on the internet or by telephone).

Equifax plc

Credit File Advice Centre

PO Box 1140

Bradford

BD1 5US

Tel: 0870 010 0583

Online Credit Reports and Credit Reporting from a Leading Credit Agency: Equifax

(you can order your credit file on the internet).

Callcredit plc

I've already sent for it from Experian but when I looked at it can't find a default showing (?) I've wrote to Experian today and asked them to look into any default in May 2000.

Thought credit agencies all had the same information, obviously not. It's a bit of a money making racket when you have to pay for your reports £12.50 for Equifax and £8.95 for the other. Now I know why I plumped for Experian at £2. W send for the Equifax, etc., and see what I can find. Like my dad says, there's nothing free in this life.

They should be £2 for each one - send a £2 cheque or postal order to the other two.

Currently up to deadline in County Court (19th July) received Lloyds copy allocation questionnaire yesterday.

1) They've ticked the box to have 1 month postponement, but on mine I didn't want a postponement, so does the Court give the right to the bank to have a months negotiations (aka as delaying tactics.)

 

2) They've also ticked the box to state they have a witness (?) what's that all about then? Surrely I have the right to know who that witness would be?

 

Anyone had a similar experience please pm me. Thanks v. much

 

Mod note: Threads merged, please stick to one thread only for your claim. Thanks.

It's all designed to frighten and intimidate. It is difficult to give you an exact assessment as you have not given very much information about your claim, but many banks wait to see in the Claimant files the AQ before moving to a settlement - especally if it is over £1500 and a fee is needed.

Hi

My AQ deadline is the 19th as well, I've took mine into court this morning. I received the same AQ from Lloyds TSB as you also, with the witness and the extra time thing. Is it Sechiari, Clark and Mitchell the Solicitors?

I will keep an eye on your thread, as we have identical deadlines at the moment.

I WON!!!! :D :D :D

Well, well what a coincidence ... the plot thickens. I'm sending a copy of my AQ to Lloyds solicitors first class tomorrow (recorded delivery as usual) I sent it into Court a week ago. Just sending a covering letter asking them to acknowledge receipt.

 

Wouldn't it be good if we both received our money back at the same time ha ha.

Progress to date:

 

Allocation Questionnaires into Court by 19th July 2006.

Lloyds sent theirs in 3 days before deadline.

received 1 letter from them asking for a copy of my AQ.

I've rang Court and the case is with the Judge to decide on - should hear something within 28 days. Will keep you posted.

 

Note: After reading the Defence from Lloyds very thoroughly they've ticked that they are not available to attend Court for 24th, 25th July and the whole of August so I won't hear anything till September 2006.

Claiming these bank charges has taught me even more so that patience is definitely a virtue.

Update: Received 'Notice of Allocation to the Small Claims Track (Hearing) from Court giving me a Court hearing date on 1st November, and asking me to send copy documents to the Court and defendants no later than 22 September 2006. Original documents to be taken to Court on date of hearing.

 

I also have to include a schedule of how the amount claimed has been calculated and identify the basis for each charge (!). Could do with some help from the forum.

 

I've read different threads but can't find one specifically showing how you identify the basis for each charge. All I have is copy statements showing charges taken which I've put a pencil mark against and totted up to make a final total. I haven't included account charges of £7 per month, just overdraft interest charged and the unfair charges of £30 I've paid over 6 years. Many thanks for your help, could do with some guidance, thanks.

Have you filled in the spreadsheet in the Forum library to calculate your charges & 8% interest?

 

I have sent a copy of this in for all my claims & had no problems.

FIRST DIRECT: £4751.86 SETTLED IN FULL 5/07/06 :-)

 

TESCO VISA CARD: £90 SETTLED IN FULL 12/08/06 :)

 

LLOYDS TSB: £4403.59 SETTLED IN FULL 17/08/06 :)

EGG: £451.52 SETTLED IN FULL 18/01/07 :)

I've opened the spreadsheet.

I thought of putting 'Geteven 'v' Lloyds TSB Bank Plc.

then 'Breakdown of Amount Claimed'

then would you put columns for the relevant year, month and figure claimed?

Also whats the formula for working out the 8% interest calculation as it's over a year ago since I used spreadsheets.

 

Thanks for your help!

Sent statement of claim to Court by 22nd September as requested and copies to Lloyds solicitors, Sechiari, Clark, and Mitchell. Should have received copy of their papers (showing witness details) by 22nd September but have heard nothing from them at all.

Rang my County Court today to enter a judgement as they've failed to produce the documents but the Clerk told me I'd have to wait till the Court date 1st November and mention to the Judge that the solicitors have not sent papers to me.

Has this happened to anyone else? Any help would be appreciated thanks.

Due to go to Court on 1st November but have now received Letter from Lloyds Solicitors offering me the full amount claimed plus the £80 Courts costs I've paid. QUESTION: Do I accept, or ask them for the interest as well?? The total amount is £780 before costs. Anyone H E L P me work out what the interest would be on that. I couldn't fathom the Excel spreadsheet to do it myself.
