    • it is NOT A FINE.....this is an extremely important point to understand no-one bar a magistrate in a magistrates criminal court can ever fine anyone for anything. Private Parking Tickets (speculative invoices) are NOT a criminal matter, merely a speculative contractual Civil matter hence they can only try a speculative monetary claim via the civil county court system (which is no more a legal powers matter than what any member of Joe Public can do). Until/unless they do raise a county court claim a CCJ and win, there are not ANY enforcement powers they can undertake other than using a DCA, whom are legally powerless and are not BAILIFFS. Penalty Charge Notices issued by local authorities etc were decriminalised years ago - meaning they no longer can progress a claim to the magistrates court to enforce, but go directly to legal enforcement via a real BAILIFF themselves. 10'000 of people waste £m's paying private parking companies because they think they are FINES...and the media do not help either. the more people read the above the less income this shark industry get. where your post said fine it now says charge .............. please fill out the Q&A ASAP. dx  
    • Well done on reading the other threads. If ECP haven't got the guts to do court then there is no reason to pay them. From other threads there is a 35-minute free stay after which you need to pay, with the signs hidden where no-one will read them.  Which probably explains why ECP threaten this & threaten that, but in the end daren't do court. As for your employer - well you can out yourself as the driver to ECP so the hamster bedding will arrive at yours.  Get your employer to do that using the e-mail address under Appeals and Transfer Of Liability.  
    • good you are getting there. Lloyds/TSb...i certainly would not be risking possible off-setting going on if a choice were there, but in all honestly thats obv too late now..., however..you might not never be in that situation so dont worry too much. regardless to being defaulted or not, if any debt that is not paid/used in 6yrs it becomes statute barred. you need to understand a couple of things like 'default' and 'default notice' a default is simply a recorded D in the calendar section/history of a debt, it does not really mean anything. might slightly hit your rating. the important thing here is a default notice , these are issued by the original creditor (OC) under the consumer credit act, it gives you 14 days to settle whatever they are asking, if you don't then they have the option to register a defaulted date on your credit file. that can make getting other credit more difficult. and hits your rating. once that happens, not matter what you do after that, paying it or not or not paid off or not, the whole account vanishes from your credit file on the DN's 6th b'day. though that might not necessarily mean the debt is not still owed - thats down to the SB date above. an OC very rarely does court and only the OWNER of a debt can instigate any court action (Attempted a CCJ) DCA's debt collection agencies - DCA's are NOT BAILIFFS they have ZERO legal powers on ANY debt - no matter what it's TYPE. an OC make pass a debt to a dca as their client to try and spoof people into paying through legal ignorance of the above statement. an OC may SELL on an old debt to a DCA/debt buyer (approx 10p=£1) and then claim their losses through tax write off and their business insurance, wiping their hands of the debt. the DCA then becomes the debt OWNER. since the late 70's dca's pull all kinds of 'stunts' through threat-o-grams to spoof a debtor into paying them the full value of the debt, when they bought if for a discounted sum (typically 10p=£1). you never pay a dca a penny! if read carefully, NONE of their letters nor those of any other 'trading names' they spoof themselves under making it seem it's going up some kind of legitimate legal 'chain' say WILL anything....just carefully worded letters with all kinds of threats of what could/might/poss happen with other such words as instruct forward pass... well my dog does not sit when instructed too...so... DCA's SOMETIMES will issue a court claim, but in all honesty its simply a speculative claim hoping mugs wet themselves and cough up...oh im going to court... BIG DEAL DCA - show me the enforceable paperwork signed by me...9/10 they dont have it and if your defence is conducted properly, most run away from you . however before they do all that they now have to send a letter of claim, cause the courts got fed up with them issuing +750'000PA speculative claims and jamming up the legal system. so bottom line is two conclusions.... if you cant pay a debt, get a DN issued ASAP (stop paying it!) make sure it gets registered on your file then it stops hurting your file/future credit in 6yrs regardless to what happens (bar of course a later DCA CCJ - fat chance mind!)  once you've a registered DN , then look into restarting payments if the debt is still owed by the OC, if SOLD to a DCA, don't pay - see if they issue a letter of claim (then comeback here!).

    • 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.

In regard to your recorded letters not being signed for even though they have probably recieved the letter i'd just make a claim for the maximum allowed from the post office :) every penny counts and you have paid extra for the service and they have failed to get a signature to confirm delivery. Postmen don't seem to always be bothered about getting a signature i have recieved a few recorded delivery letters through my letter box that no one has signed for.

  • 2 weeks later...

No news yet, LBA all typed out and ready to be posted on Thursday! However 14 days compliance is up on Wednesday for my CCA request. Cheque has not yet gone through my bank account though, neither has my copied of microfiched statements, although they have got until the weekend to materialise.

 

Has anyone got an email address for someone that I can chase my CCA and statements from? Previously I had emailed Adrian Whalley, but have not had a reply, so do not know if they have been read or not....

 

Anyones email will do !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sent a few emails out yesterday reminding that this Sunday is 40 days from SAR request and tomorrow (Wednesday) is 14 days for CCA. This is the reply I received

______________________________________________________________

 

I refer to your e-mail below regarding your request for information on your Barclaycard Account under SECTION 78 of the Consumer Credit Act.

Please be advised, I received your e-mail today and also in the post I received your original request.

I can confirm that I am now in the process of gathering the information required under Section 78 of the CCA, I will of course forward this to you upon receipt.

Please accept my apologies for the delay in responding to you, however as previously explained, I was not in receipt of your request until today.

In the meantime, please do not hesitate to contact me should you require any further assistance

Kind Regards

Letter before action sent today. Still waiting for the other statements, although quite sure there will not be any further charges on them. However I will amend my LBA if needs be.

CCA should have been received today... nothing

that is how I read it, although I think a few have gone for contractual at the LBA stage don't know how it worked out though. There are spreads sheets to work out the interest for you, so you will be ok.

Interesting! Got my Barclaycard statement this morning. My account has been credited with £288 (Late payment refund)

The funny thing is I was in arrears. Now I am not, so at least they have not charged me a late payment charge this month!

No communication from them at all though. I sent a LBA yesterday. I will amend it, deducting the £288.00 and thanking them for their part payment.

Doesn't this go to proove that this system does work? I am now £288 better off than I was a few days ago (still owe £1079.35 to them!!)

Who says a little knowledge is dangerous!!!!

quick question. As I only sent the LBA yesterday to Barclaycard, I am considering sending a new LBA, and in the body of the letter saying

" I thank you for your kind gesture, and your refund of £288.00, which I am happy to accept as part of a settlement to my claim. Therefore I will now deduct £288.00 from the final total, and would like to respectfully remind you that I now require the payment as follows: £660 plus Interest of £215.50, total amount is £875.50, minus £288 paid as a part payment, Total amount I require to be paid is £587.50"

Does this sound ok??

That sounds good to me although perhaps also mention the fact that you have received no information at all regarding this payment from them, just so it's on record that you haven't agreed to accept this amount as a settlement.

I cannot find a letter template specific to a LETTER BEFORE ACTION for non compliance of a CCA

 

Is there one, or should I adapt the SAR one?

 

Thank you.

Received my CCA this morning. The photocopy is not great thogh. The reason I wanted the CCA is because I am convinced that initially I did not sign up for Barclaycard Payment protection, yet was charged it anyway until I realised what was going on.

As I say the photocopy is not great and on the box where you would tick to apply for the payment protection there is the faintest of smudges, yet further up the form where I ticked male or female, I can see the tick is larger, nothing like the smudge.

Am I within my rights to request a clearer copy?

I have also realised though that I had this card 2 years longer than I thought I had, so although I have already started a claim from June 2004 to present, as I thought I had only had the card since Xmas 2003. It now turns out from this CCA that it was Xmas 2001, so roll on the other statements coming through, which incidentally I sent out an LBA about yesterday.

received another 2 copies of my CCA this morning, still not totally legible, am trying to establish whether I asked for PPI or not. There is still just a smudge in the tick box. I am going to try and claim it back.

 

On another note, Barclaycard replied to my LBA this morning too, letter dated 2.5.07 and received 4.5.07 (pretty quick reallY)

 

"Thank you for your letter received at this office 26th April, I am sorry you are unhappy with the charges you have incurred. Your comments are receiving attention and one of my team will contact you as soon as possible....."

 

"We aim to find a solution within four weeks, if we are not able to do so, we will always write to you explaining what is happening, A full report or update on our progress will be sent to you within eight weeks"...........

 

Standard blah blah letter I imagine. ... I will stick to my own time scale though.... Although I have not yet had a reply from my requst for hurrying up with my statements prior to June 2004 and I want to amend my claim before it gets to court stage,.,,,

I'd try phoning the customer service or even the Data Protection number and ask them where the remainder of your statements are. They wrote me a letter telling me 6 weeks when i recieved mine back to 2004 and sent the rest within 4 days, so i reckon they have forgotten all bout you in their heap of paperwork and requests. Worth a try, being nice on the phone to them often gets them to help you a lot more than the letters we send them lol. Failing that you'd have to take them to court or report it to the ico which can take weeks so phonecall is definately worth a shot.

I have been on the phone to Barclaycard for fifteen minutes I have been passed on to three different people, put on hold four times, whilst one assistant talks to another. It ought to be straight forward surely,
