    • just to be clear here..... the DVLA do not send letters if a drivers licence address differs from any car's V5C that shows the same driver as it's registered keeper.
    • sorry she is a private individual, the cars are parking on her land. she can clamp the cars. only firms were outlawed from doing it bazza. thats what the victims of people dumping cars on their drives near airports did and they didn't not get prosecuted.    
    • The DVLA keeps two records of you. One as a driver and one for your car. If they differ you might find out in around a month when they will send you a reminder as well as to your other half for their car. If you receive nothing then you can be fairly sure that you were tailgating though wouldn't explain why they didn't pick up your car on one of drive past their cameras. However even if you do get a PCN later then your situation will not change. The current PCN does not comply with the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012 Schedule 4 which is the main law that covers private parking. It doesn't comply for two reasons. 1. Section 9 [2][a] states  (2)The notice must— (a)specify the vehicle, the relevant land on which it was parked and the period of parking to which the notice relates; The PCN states 47 minutes which are the arrival and departure times not the time you were actually parked. if you subtract the time you took to drive from the entrance. look for a parking place  park in it perhaps having to manoeuvre a couple of times to fit within the lines and unload the children reloading the children getting seat belts on  driving to the exit stopping for cars pedestrians on the way you may well find that the actual time you were parked was quite likely to be around ten minutes over the required time.  Motorists are allowed a MINIMUM of ten minutes Grace period [something that the rogues in the parking industry conveniently forget-the word minimum] . So it could be that you did not overstay. 2] Sectio9 [2][f]  (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 does not include the words in brackets and in 2a the Act included the word "must". Another fail. What those failures mean is that MET cannot transfer the liability to pay the charge from the driver to the keeper. Only the driver is now liable which is why we recommend our members not to appeal. It is so easy to reveal who was driving by saying "when I parked the car" than "when the driver parked the car".  As long as they don't know who was driving they have little chance of winning in court. This is partly because Courts do not accept that the driver and the keeper are the same person. And because anyone with a valid motor insurance policy is able to drive your cars. It is a shame that you are too far away to get photos of the car park signage. It is often poor and quite often the parking rogues lose in Court on their poor signage alone. I hope hat you can now relax and not panic about the PCN. You will receive many letters from Met, their unregulated debt collectors and sixth rate solicitors threatening you with ever higher amounts of money. The poor dears have never read the Act which states quite clearly that the maximum sum that can be charged is the amount on the signs. The Act has only been in force for 12 years so it may take a  few more years for the penny to drop.  You can safely ignore everything they send you unless or until they send you a Letter of Claim. Just come back to us if they do send one of those love letters to you and we will advise on a snotty letter to send them. In the meantime go on and enjoy your life. Continue reading other threads and if you do get any worrying letters let us know. 
    • Hopefully the ANPR cameras didn't pick up the two vehicles, but I don't think you're out of the woods just yet. MET's "work" consists of sending out hundreds of these invoices every week so yours might be a few days behind your partner's. There is also the matter of Royal Mail.  I once sold two second-hand books to someone on eBay.  Weirdly the cost of sending them separately was less than the cost of sending them in one parcel.  So to save a few bob I sent them seperately.  One turned up the next day.  One arrived after four days.  They were  sent from the same post office at the same time! But let's hope I'm being too pessimistic. Please update us of any developments.

    • 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 am afraid I don't have a Fax machine,Kenny. I guess I am stuck in limbo with this but their obstruction - not taking payments and not signing for mail for which I have the receipt is just nuts. I will just have to wait and see if they collect it. Thanks anyway for the advice.

Thanks for your offer, Kenny. I'll leave it for now to see if they pick it up. What's strange is that I have heard nothing from them at all - no phone calls, no letters, nothing. The Bank of Scotland insisted I deal with them and to be honest I have never been sure whether L and T owns the loan or is just acting for the BOS. I didn't get any letter of assignment. I get 6 monthly statements from the BOS but they won't take any action of any kind on it and simply refer me back to L and T. Whatever the case, it's a piece of nonsense. I am going to do my damndest to see they don't get another penny after all their carry on! Ha!

Well, some developments in this saga. L and T have received my CCA request and have replied that they have requested the agreement from the BOS and that my account is "on hold" until they receive it. No word from the BOS. So I continue to wait.

This is day 12 (+2) and no copy credit agreement from the Bank of Scotland. As I suspected, they don't have one. Legal and Trade's time isn't up yet but if the BOS don't have one, they won't have one either. So, what happens next and what do I do now? Thank you.

Hi Pinky,

 

If they can't produce a CCA... then you can stop paying :D . If they have still not supplied one in another calendar month.... report them to TS and the OFT.

 

There is no need to contact BOS or L & T to inform them of their non-compliance... just keep hold of everything that they send you. If they cannot substantiate the debt, then they have no business trying to extract payments from you. If they continue to chase you after the additional calendar month, they can be reported for a criminal offence.

Well, that is it - the 12 days (+2) and 30 days are over - and there is no sign of a credit agreement - I didn't think there would be. In the interim I had a letter from the Bank of Scotland returning my pound and saying that Legal and Trade were dealing with it. I had a letter at the beginning of April from Legal and Trade saying that they were contacting the Bank of Scotland about the agreement and in the meantime my account was on hold. Since then nothing- zilch.

 

So, what happens now? Thank you for your continued advice.

It would appear Legal and Trade have no agreement so should not be pursuing you. You can do two things

 

1. Ignore them

 

2. Write to them and ask for details of their complaints procedure and complain about demanding money that they cannot prove you owe, harrasment etc etc

Complain to Trading Standards

Thank you for your reply CD. My preferred choice would be just to ignore them because I have a feeling I am not going to hear from them again. They know the score and I think if they had been going to contact me they would have done so by now. If they do, I'll come back for more advice. Thank you again.

Thank you dpick - I will do that. Out of interest, how long ago did you request your agreement?

 

Hi pinky all my CCA requests sent out 28/02/2007 all missed 12+2 days but all replied within 1 month but none complied in full with CCA request,

2 application forms, 1 agreement recieved as agreements only 1 sent terms and conditions (from 2005 not 2000 when I got card) and all of them did not state the credit limit, the rate of interest, details of any power to vary the agreement or debtors repayment obligations so even if classed as an agreement they would be improperly executed and have been advised all are unenforceable even if they could be classed as an agreement.

 

As you can probable tell after years of having these mongrels on my back after ill health and company I worked for folding I am now enjoying myself.

Thank you dpick and kenny. I just got so mad when they asked me for more money (I am disabled and pay towards my care) and threatened to take me to court that I asked for advice on here. I now know they were never in a position to take me to court and I was paying them regularly - they have shot themselves in the foot! Thank you again for your wonderful advice.

I had these **** on my case for ages but now I HAVE taken control and thanks to this Forum and the excellent advise feel able to beat them all. Like yourself I find I have a lot of time on my hands myself due to illness and enjoy going through this forum which I find informative. It must be a real pain in the butt to the mongrels when the people they phone to intimidate know more about their rights than the monleys who browbeat, bully and lie.

Hello Again,

 

The Bank of Scotland do not have a Credit Agreement for a loan I was paying - I did the 12 days and 30 days in April. I am still receiving staements from them and today received a threat of court action. Can someone explain to me what offence they are committing trying to pursue this and what can I do to stop this? Thank you.

they are commiting a summary criminal offence.

 

write back to them at the address on the court letter, and say that "non-compliance of CCA is a complete defence to any court action taken" and enclose copies of your previous CCA/SAR requests.

 

If you did SAR them did they cash the payment?

Who did you get this threat from. If it was from L & T then its just another threatogram.

 

As the have gone pat the 12 + the calendar month report them to Trading Standards. Also write to them and DEMAND a copy of their official complaints procedure. If the original Creditor cannot produce the Credit Agreemnet the L&T are bluffing. What are they going to use in any supposed Court case against you. You have beaten them and they know it

Thanks for that Kenny.

 

Legal and Trade were dealing with it. They cashed the cheque but not Bank of Scotland (I sent them both a payment). B of S sent me the postal order back and said Legal and Trade were dealing with it - I never heard from Legal and Trade again after they were unable to produce the agreement. This week I have had a statement from the B of S and now this letter. There is nothing they can do as there is no Credit Agreement but how do I get this activity to stop? Thanks again - you have been very helpful.

I doubt that this is any more than a "threat", as you say. However, you could write send following (by rec. delivery)

 

Thank you for your letter of xx/xx/2007.

 

However, a request for my Consumer Credit Agreement (Consumer Credit Act, 1974) was received by yourselves on xx/xx/2007. Until such times as you are able to comply, no payments will be forthcoming and any action that you do take will be vigorously defended.

 

As you are now in serious default of this request, any further attempts to contact me for payment will be forwarded to Trading Standards without further notice.

 

:)
