    • I will annotate the message I sent for the forum.  Sorry, didn't see this straight away...
    • I went back to the area, this photo is taken on entry. My vehicle was parked in the first space on the left.    Would you say there is sufficient signage ? It’s different to the street view as one sign is missing. The sign nearest to where I parked is 2.23m above ground! So even if the car had been reversed parked in front of it, I don’t think it could be seen. PCN PPM.pdf
    • Thank you. I expect that @dx100uk will be along soon to give advice. Meanwhile, I really wonder whether the default date – as being the starting point of the six years – something which has been decided in law. It has always seemed to me to be extremely unfair. According to the limitation act, the six year period begins from the date on which the cause of action accrued. This normally means that the breach of contract occurred. Section 6 of the limitation act says that in terms of loans, the cause of action begins on the date that the debt was "demanded". Over the past two years this has come to mean the date that the default notice was issued – but I have to say I don't find that very satisfactory. If you received demands for payment before then then I don't see why section 6 shouldn't refer to that date. Did you not receive any correspondence at all in 2017/2018? What was the value of the original loan – and how much you pay off? I see that there was some kind of instalment agreement. Tell us about that. See what my colleague @dx100uk says but anyway, if I were you I would send off an SAR immediately both to the claimant and also to the original creditor. It costs you nothing. There is no downside. Get in the post straightaway with some kind of utility bill establishing your identity. You can even include a copy of the claim form as well as proof of your identity

    • 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.

I sent a CCA request on 9th Feb, Recorded Delivery to a DCA, I have checked with Royal Mail and it has not been received/signed for.

 

Now I rang the DCA today, the person that answered the phone was a little old man (bless):grin: and he just said "hello" there was no company name mentioned at all.

 

I said I was just calling to confirm that they had received my letter, he replied "yes" I replied "I am only calling for confirmation of a letter that I sent" He said that he did not think he had received it, but as I was on the phone what was it about as we could discuss it now. I said I am not phoning to have a conversation with you I am purely ringing to see if you have received my letter. He slammed the phone down:shock:

 

Now do I have to send another CCA request on the assumption they have not received the original one, or what do you advise I do?

 

Also I find it quite strange that they answer the phone with just "hello" no company name etc.

No, you have sent it, class it as being with them 2 days after delivery and stick to the timetable (or so i have been told). And they will often answer the phone like that as sometimes they try and trick people into ringing them. If they answer it blah blah debt recovery people will put the phone down straight away.

Cheddar,

 

So the fact the Royal Mail site states "not delivered" and I have actually spoken to Royal Mail & they say the letter has not arrived yet, although the las person from Royal Mail said that there was a small remote chance that it would be delivered without a signature. Mmmmm:eek:

Don't send another letter.

 

The onus is on the DCA to prove it didn't receive your request. Sent by recorded delivery it should have arrived two days after posting. If its not been signed for (because they refused to do so) it will be returned to you by Royal Mail with an explanation for non-delivery. Keep the receipts carefully and if the letter is returned try and keep it unopened to show a judge.

 

If a postal order was enclosed you can check whether it has been cashed and by who by asking the Post Office to do so. Using the counterfoil number this is easy to do. If it was crossed (made payable to etc) it will even show into which account it was paid into.

 

As far as I would be concerned the CCA request has been made and the debt collector has 12 working days to comply. If they fail to produce that's a matter for them. Leave them to default and to continue that default for a month when the criminal offence kicks in. Don't expect anyone to do anything about that but it will give you a massive stick to beat them with if they decide to be stupid and try legal action.

Hi nannanoon

 

I don't wish to carp but you appeared to have rushed headlong into this without doing your home work.

 

If they deny having received your CCA & you have no proof of delivery then it's your problem. You cannot claim nor assume delivery if it is denied. Nor can you claim they have had your CCA merely because they refused to sign for it. If it is being or has been returned by the PO then your CCA is void. After all they cannot comply with a statutory request if they have not been asked.

 

You don't appear to say when you sent your CCA but I would send another special delivery (not recorded) & DONT forget to keep the PO no which I believe is on the receipt the post office will give you at the time of purchase.

 

On the otherhand you could send a cheque & when they present it for payment, as they almost cetrtainly will, they would been unable to deny receipt.

So in this respect couldn't all DCAs refuse their post and never recieve CCA letters? (mind you they'd wanna get the ones with cheques in i guess lol)

I would send again keeping a track of the payment method used to prove they have cashed it...oh and again keep the Recorded Delivery slip and a COP.

Many people send cheques by special or recorded delivery. If there is one thing that keeps debt collectors going its the prospect of opening letters with cheques in them. Its why they even pay the cost of receiving letters without stamps. They are greedy barstewards.

 

If the CCA has been sent recorded delivery an expanation is due if it has not been delivered. Lets take it from there.
