    • Had a previous car loan with this lot. Included in the amount (prior to added interest) on this agreement, is the outstanding balance from the previous loan. This outstanding balance had already been subject to hefty interest on the 1st loan, yet on this agreement they added interest to it again! Also, where it states that the particular Ts and Cs (ref # removed) form part of the agreement, the Ts and Cs they've sent, which they say are part of the agreement, but they are not- they have a different reference number to the Ts and Cs which form part of the (original) agreement. agreeandterm.pdf
    • I would only rely on your solicitor in this regard. The other two should not have a view.   And, you are responsible for how the court perceive you. They only have your words and deeds to go on. Expecting them to magically see things your way is not a great tactic.
    • Yes, I don't think there is any downside to doing this. If they decline then you can say that in your witness statement
    • Ok! Do you still want me to work on that letter you discussed above in post #26?
    • Thank you for posting up the required details and well done for apparently not revealing the identity of the driver. I am assuming you are the keeper? The depth of ignorance of the parking companies is absolutely amazing. The Protection of Freedoms Act 2012 Schedule 4 is the law relating to private parking and allows those rogues to be able to transfer the charge from the driver [whose name they do not know] to the keeper after 28 days . This is dependent on them complying with the Act. So many of the don't and Alliance is no different. It would help if we could see what you appeal was and to post the back of the PCN as it is lacking so much of the wording necessary to make it compliant so that in your case only the driver is liable to pay the charge. And of course just entering the ANPR arrival times means that they have failed to specify the parking time which is a requirement..  Because the car park was so busy you had to drive around for quite a while before finally finding a place to park which is when the parking period may  actually begin. The poor dears at Alliance have not grasped that particular part of the legislation as yet. To be fair the Act has only been in place for 12 years so one must make allowances for their stupidity . We shouldn't really mock them- but it is fun. You weren't to know but the chances of winning an appeal against Alliance and the IPC is around 5%-and that is high for them. If they allow you to cancel they lose the chance of making money and they would have had a field day when you were there with so many people being caught overstaying because of the chaos in trying to find a parking space then trying to pay.  Your snotty letter could go something like this- Dear Cretins, Yes I mean you Alliance. After 12 years one would have thought that even you could produce a compliant PCN. Did you really think I would pay you a penny extra considering the time I wasted trying  to pay with  long queues at the parking machine, then trying to get a signal to call Just Park. On top of that you then had the cheek to ask for an additional £70 for what dubious unspecified pleasure? You must have made a killing that day charging all those motorists for overstaying because the queues to pay were do long and even walking to pay from the over flow parking fields takes time. And yes I did take photos of the non existent signs in the fields so please don't give me the usual rubbish about your signs being clearly visible. Oh yes that £70. Please tell me and the Court whether that charge included VAT and if it did, why am I being charged to pay your vat? I am sure the Judge would look carefully at that as well as the Inland Revenue. The truth is you had no reasonable cause to ask the DVLA for my data given the chaos at your car park and I believe that you therefore breached my GDPR...................... I expect others will give their views as well.

    • 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.

Hi i had an old Capital One debt which is about £700 i didnt here anything for over a year then i started getting letters from Lowell Financial saying i owe them £2500 for a capital one debt which they have now bought. After looking at this site and getting final demands from lowell i sent them a CCA letter as follows.

Hamptons Legal

PO Box 173

Leeds

LS11 9WR

 

Dear Sir/Madam

 

Re: − Account/Reference Number xxxxxxxx

 

With reference to the above account, I request that you send me a true copy of this credit agreement, relating to your last letter dated 19th February, signed by S Hunter. As I do not acknowledge ANY debt to your company.

 

I understand that this is my right under the legislation contained within section 77 (1) and section 78 (1) of the Consumer Credit Act 1974, and am entitled to receive a copy of my credit agreement on request.

 

Your obligation also extends to providing me with a statement of account. I enclose a £1 postal order which represents payment of the statutory fee payable under the Consumer Credit Act. I understand that a copy of my credit agreement should be supplied within 12 working days from the date of this letter.

 

I understand that under the Consumer Credit Act, creditors are unable to enforce an agreement if they fail to comply with a request for a copy of the agreement under these sections of the Act.

 

Also, since you are a Debt Collection Agency, I would also ask that you supply a signed true copy of the executed deed of assignment for the above referenced agreement. This is an obligation, whether you are the original creditor or not, under section 189 of the Consumer Credit Act 1974.

 

 

In summary, Hamptons Legal/Lowell Financial is to supply the following documentation before I correspond further:

 

1. True copy of original credit agreement

2. Statement of account

3. Copy of the executed deed of assignment from Capital One to Hamptons Legal/Lowell Financial

 

As you are aware, a credit agreement that is not properly documented and signed by the customer is totally unenforceable under the CCA and therefore is a complete defence to any court claim that is issued.

 

Take note at this stage, that any legal action you may contemplate will be both vigorously defended and contested and consider this matter to be “in dispute”.

 

Thanks in advance and I hope to hear from you within the statutory time limit.

 

I look forward to hearing from you.

 

 

Yours faithfully

 

They got My CCA on the 02/03/07 and i got a reply in today 08/03/07

We are in receipt of your request for a copy of your credit agreement in this matter in accordance with Section 78(1) of the Consumer Credit Act 1974.

 

We are in receipt of the prescribed fee from you.

 

We are requesting a copy of the agreement from your original lender with whom you originally entered into the agreement.

 

While we endeavour to reply to you with the required information within the prescribed 28 day period under the Consumer Credit Act you will appreciate this is dependent upon receipt of the information from the

original creditor.

 

We will advise you further if it will take longer than the prescribed period and the reason to supply the required information.

 

We trust this meets with your saatisfation.

 

My first question is are they allowed to take longer than the prescribed period if they give you a reason why its taking longer? and also i asked them to supply the following items

 

1. True copy of original credit agreement

2. Statement of account

3. Copy of the executed deed of assignment from Capital One to Hamptons Legal/Lowell Financial

 

but in there letter they only mention supplying me with the credit agreement are they leagally bound to supply me with these 3 bits of information i asked for?

 

what should i do should i write another letter stating it will be an offence if they dont give me the info on time or just leave it now to see what happens?

 

i will be greatfull for any advise.

 

Thank you

You're doing good! :)

 

The reply you got back from Lowell's is completely standard, take no notice of it. The prescribed timeline applies. Just sit back and wait see what they send, they generally take a month to comply.

 

If they send you a copy of just the signature box from the application form, that is not a copy of the agreement!

 

(btw Hamptons/Lowell's=Same thing!)

 

Post again when they send you something.

 

Good luck, regards, Dave.

Thanks for the reply i will keep you updated on it. I know about Hamptons/Lowell the time i got round to writing the CCA i was getting the letter from Hamptons thats why i sent it to them. funny thing is they never phone my house they have only called once and i told them i dont know what they are talking about and i would be looking into it no more calls from them only letters.

If they do supply the original agrement they will i need to pay all this amount as i think it should only be £700 and not what they say £2500.

 

cheers

i have been bombarded with letters and phone calls from lowell.

I had the exact same note through my door (the irony is not lost - they tried to call "today", but sent the note via 2nd class post!), although it's addressed to someone who has NEVER lived in this property.

 

(It was converted from a church 3 years ago, and owned / lived in solely by the chap I bought it from since that date.)

 

Recently, I've intercepted a few other letters in this person's name, which has me slightly worried, but nonetheless in this case I suspect that this might be a trick to get you to call the 0845 number on there......
