    • Well the difference is that in all our other cases It was Kev who was trying to entrap the motorist so sticking two fingers up to him and daring him to try court was from a position of strength. In your case, sorry, you made a mistake so you're not in the position of strength.  I've looked on Google Maps and the signs are few & far between as per Kev's MO, but there is an entrance sign saying "Pay & Display" (and you've admitted in writing that you knew you had to pay) and the signs by the payment machines do say "Sea View Car Park" (and you've admitted in writing you paid the wrong car park ... and maybe outed yourself as the driver). Something I missed in my previous post is that the LoC is only for one ticket, not two. Sorry, but it's impossible to definitively advise what to so. Personally I'd probably gamble on Kev being a serial bottler of court and reply with a snotty letter ridiculing the signage (given you mentioned the signage in your appeal) - but it is a gamble.  
    • No! What has happened is that your pix were up-to-date: 5 hours' maximum stay and £100 PCN. The lazy solicitors have sent ancient pictures: 4 hours' maximum stay and £60 PCN. Don't let on!  Let them be hoisted by their own lazy petard in the court hearing (if they don't bottle before).
    • Thanks for all the suggestions so far I will amend original WS and send again for review.  While looking at my post at very beginning when I submitted photos of signs around the car park I noticed that it says 5 hours maximum stay while the signage sent by solicitor shows 4 hours maximum stay but mine is related to electric bay abuse not sure if this can be of any use in WS.
    • Not sure what to make of that or what it means for me, I was just about to head to my kip and it's a bit too late for legalise. When is the "expenditure occured"?  When they start spending money to write to me?  Or is this a bad thing (as "harsh" would imply)? When all is said and done, I do not have two beans to rub together, we rent our home and EVERYTHING of value has been purchased by and is in my wife's name and we are not financially linked in any way.  So at least if I can't escape my fate I can at least know that they will get sweet FA from me anyway   edit:  ah.. Sophia Harrison: Time bar decision tough on claimants WWW.SCOTTISHLEGAL.COM Time bar is a very complex area of law in Scotland relating to the period in which a claim for breach of duty can be pursued. The Scottish government...   This explains it like I am 5.  So, a good thing then because creditors clearly know they have suffered a loss the minute I stop paying them, this is why it is "harsh" (for them, not me)? Am I understanding this correctly?  
    • urm......exactly what you filed .....read it carefully... it puts them to strict proof to prove the debt is enforceable, so thus 'holds' their claim till they coughup or not and discontinue. you need to get readingthose threads i posted so you understand. then you'll know whats maybe next how to react or not and whats after that. 5-10 threads a day INHO. dont ever do anything without checking here 1st.

    • 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.

Priority One - you are still there! Thank you for the advice. I will write to them and hopefully that will be the end of the harrassment - becuase that is what this is. If they do start Court proceedings and I have to go to a lot of bother for nothing, I am seriously considering suing them!

AHA! I see what they have done now! The loan was originally an overdraft - which they converted into a loan! Now that there is no credit agreement, the letter I received is demanding repayment of the overdraft! So they want their cake and eat it too. All my statements from them relate to a loan. Do I need to request the overdraft agreement now or what? Surely I can now demand all the payments I made to them under the loan, for which there is no agreement. This is getting really complicated! Ha!

i would write back to them and state that your statements relate to payments made to a LOAN and not an overdraft, therefore cough up the CCA!

There shouldn't be a need for another CCA request.... and I would forget about re-claming your payments back unless you want to open up a new can of worms with BOS. It's not as straightforward as it seems and success is highly unlikely.... as those payments will have been made voluntarily.

 

As it stands, L & T have no Agreement... so can berger off.

I have looke d at the letter again Kenny and the account number on it was not my original current account number. Also, the number on the letter is nothing like a current account number the B of S would use - it is clearly a loan acount number! You couldn't be up to the sonning sods!

I understand what you are saying Priority but if they start legal action then I am going to see a solicitor and will take advice about what I can claim off them. They have taken more off me than the original loan and there are many judgements about the unfairness of this.

 

This is the letter I am sending and hopefully it will stop any further action in its tracks.

"I have never had a Current Account with the Bank of Scotland numbered xxxxx – that is a loan account number and can be easily traced.

A request for a copy of the Consumer Credit Agreement(Consumer Credit Act, 1974) was received by your client’s agents on 10 April 2007. They were unable to produce a copy of said agreement. No such agreement exists.

 

As your clients are now in serious default of this request, any attempt to contact me for payment is a criminal offence, which I am reporting immediately to Trading Standards and the Office of Fair Trading. In addition, any attempted Court action will not only be vigorously defended but will entail action for return of all monies solicited from me illegally under a non-existent agreement, my costs and substantial damages for harassment."

The people are fighting back - Ha!

Hello again,

 

An update on my Bank of Scotland saga. They have huffed and puffed and sent me umpteen threats but I have totally ignored them and without a credit agreement they know there is nothing they can do. I am grateful for all the advice I received from you.

 

I have joined Priority One in making even greater inroads into getting (hopefully) the larger portion of my debts written off. I terminated my Debt Management Plan with CCCs as there had been nothing but errors with it since July and I am now free to pursue who has credit agreements and who hasn't. I am no longer afraid of any of this - I feel as If I have taken back control.

 

Thank you again everyone.

Thanks Luminol! I am finished with Legal and Trade. They passed it on with lightening speed as soon as I asked for a copy of the credit agreement. It is now with another company and they are up the creek without a paddle. I get letters saying they are going to do this and going to do that but they can do nothing and I just ignore them. Thanks for the info though!

Hello Everybody,

 

I was busy in December asking for copies of Credit Agreements using the template and sending the £1. I sent 7 in total. So far 2 haven't replied and their time is up on the 27th. The others are a shower of chancers! Moorcroft asked me "in a spirit of co-operation" what action I planned to take "in court or with other official bodies" so that we each know what the other is planning! Are they near the limit of the OFT's patience? Cabot have only written about one "alleged" account even though they have two! They returned the £1 and said they are not obliged to furnish me with a copy of the agreement but are hopeful of doing so within the 12 days! Nice try. Direct Legal Collections have said that they are hopeful of acquiring a copy of the agreement but if they don't they will provide me with a copy of a document that fulfils the criterion of the Credit Act. If they don't get a copy of the agreement, they will be in touch with me in 21 days. Take your time! If you don't supply me with a copy of the agreement, you can send me a piece of loo roll if you like because whatever you send me will have as much worth.

 

Yesterday I felt for the first time that I was taking back control from these scavengers. I am so glad I came on here - thank you all. There is a bit of a bumpy ride yet before I finally get rid of them once and for all but I am looking forward to finally putting this behind me.

Some confusion that the experience of posters might be able to clear up for me!

 

I had a loan and credit card with the Co-operative Bank. On the list of addresses of creditors I received from CCCS, the credit card was listed under the Central Bureau of Defaulters and the loan under Phoenix Credit Services. I wrote asking both for copies of the credit agreements. The Co-operative Bank itself has not been on the list of creditors since 2003 but I still get statements from them concerning the credit card and I got one again yesterday.

 

I am confused about who now owns these debts - and whether these two agencies are acting as agencies or do they own the debts? Is a request to them for a copy of the credit agreement legitimate even if they are only acting as agencies? - I have never received letters of assignment. And why would the Co-operative Bank pass them on for others to manage when they have their own debt management section? The 12 days is up for both on Thursday and I have had no replies.

 

I think the banks act in cahoots with agencies even when they sell the debts on. I wrote to both the Bank of Scotland and Legal and Trade asking for a copy of the credit agreement and the Bank of Scotland returned the £1 and said Legal and Trade would deal with it - I never received a leeter of assignment from them either (that loan is now well in default). I got statements from the Bank of Scotland.

 

My query is : if an agency is acting on behalf of a bank, are they bound in law to provide a copy of the Credit Agreement if asked or should I also write to the Bank? I'd apprecate your guidance - thanks. I don't even know who owns these debts.

Hi I had same problem what I did was send CCA to company who was demanding payment, in both cases they wrote back that they had asked their client to forward the information on to me, as far as I am concerned the time scales involved with the CCA request start from the date the first company received the CCA request. Though this did prove to me that they did not own the debt as one of them had said in their letter to me.

 

all the best dpick:)

Thanks for that, dpick. So, just to clarify - the request to the agency satisfies the credit agreement request. I see from the statement I received that they have actually paid the £1 I sent with my request for the agreement into the account! That's academic because the important thing is that in sending the £1 I have complied with the CCA. They are obviously going to try and ignore it but I am going to ignore them longer - for the statutory period!

2 of the 7 DCAs requested for CCAs are in default today. The funny thing is that I have had letters from 4 of the others but not even an acknowledgement from these 2. Oh well, a further 30 days and counting!

Time is moving on and 5 of the DCAs I wrote to are now in default, with the remaining two being in default in 2 days time. I have had a letter from Hillsden Securities saying they are trying to get a copy of the agreement from MBNA and in the meantime all activity on the account has been suspended - that tells me they don't have one and I expect I will receive a hashed up application form in due course. I have also had a letter from the Co-operative Bank saying they haven't received a payment and I replied that their agents/assignees haven't replied to my request for a copy of the agreement are now in default - either the DCA hasn't contacted them or they are at it!

 

Tick tock, tick tock - just take your time - no rush!

Letter from Cabot to say they are still trying to get the agreement from the originator, which means there isn't one. The Co-operative Bank have gone strangely quiet since I informed them the DCA they passed/sold the debt onto haven't replied to my CCA request, so that means they don't have the agreement either. Isn't this fun? - Ha!
