    • next time dont upload 19 single page pdfs use the sites listed on upload to merge them into one multipage pdf.. we aint got all day to download load single page files 2024-01-15 DBCLegal SAR.pdf
    • If you have not kept the original PCN you can always send an SAR to Excel and they have to send you all the info they have on you within a month. failure to do so can lead to you being able to sue them for their failure.......................................nice irony.
    • Thank you and well done  for posting up all those notices it must have have taken you ages.. The entrance sign is very helpful since the headline states                    FREE PARKING FOR CUSTOMERS ONLY in capitals with not time limit mentioned. Underneath and not in capitals they then give the actual times of parking which would not be possible to read when driving into the car park unless you actually stopped and read them. Very unlikely especially arriving at 5.30 pm with possibly other cars behind. On top of that the Notice goes on to say that the terms and conditions are inside the car park so the entrance sign cannot offer a contract it is merely an offer to treat. Inside the car park the signs are mostly too high up and the font size too small to be able to read much of their signs. DCBL have not shown a single sign that can be read on their SAR. Although as they show photographs which were taken the year after your alleged breach we do not know what the signs were when you were there. For instance the new signs showed the charge was then £100 whereas your PCN was for £85. Who knows, when you were there perhaps the time was for 3 hours. They were asked to produce  planning permission which would have been necessary for the ANPR cameras alone and didn't do so. Nor did they provide a copy of the contract-DCBL  "deeming them disproportionate or not relevant to the substantive issues in the dispute" How arrogant and untruthful is that? The contract and planning permission could be vital to having the claim thrown out. I can find no trace of planning permission for the signs nor the cameras on Tonbridge Council planning portal. and the contract of course is highly relevant since some contracts advise the parking rouges that they cannot take motorists to Court. I understand that Europarks are now running that car park which means that nexus didn't  last long before being thrown out.....................................
    • Hi,   I am not sure if I posted this already here but I don't think I did. I attach a judgement that raises very interesting points IMO. Essentially EVRi did their usual non attendance that we normally see, however the judge (for the first time I've seen in these threads) dismissed the notice and awarded me judgement by default because their notice misses the "confirmation of compliance" paragraph. in and out in 3 minutes (aside from the chat at the end with the judge about his problems with evri) Redacted - evri CPR loss.pdf
    • Just to update this. I did apply to strikeout and they did not attend the hearing. I won by defualt and the hearing lasted 5 minutes (court only allocated 15). The judge simply explained that the only matter he was really considering is if the Defendant could have any oral evidence to defend the claim. However he said he had decided that based on their defence, and their misunderstanding of law, and their non attendence he did not think they had any reasonsable chance so he awarded me SJ + Costs on the claim form + the strikeout fee. Luckily when I sent the defendant the order I woke up the next day to a wire trasnfer for the full sum of the judgement

    • 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.

...and so the fun goes on....LOL Elizabeth you had me in fits :lol:

 

This morning have received a credit card statement from Lloyds TSB - despite the fact that they have sent an APPLICATION FORM in response to my CCA and will therefore be receiving sweet f.a. from me in the way of money from now on!...

 

Next thing will no doubt be their letter asking where their money is!

 

Oh what joy I will have responding to that!

LOL ncf they are priceless!

 

Kenny, what you said about asking for a transcript of the Cap1 conversation, I've tried this in the past with Lloyds and they managed to wriggle out of it by their Data Control Department sending my cheque back saying "despite an extensive search they could not find a record of the conversation" (yeah right :p ) and I had their "profuse apologies" etc etc....some of the other lovely members on here said I would have almost no chance of getting a transcript because they would find a way round it - never mind I have a note of her name and the date I spoke to her at Cap1 so its her word against mine, PLUS their default on my CCA of course which is the main thing....with the imminent arrival of the application form she is so certain is a CCA!

 

While I'm on, can anyone direct me to a thread with a letter of response for when the DCAs start hounding me because I have stopped my repayments due to their default on the CCA letter. I know I saw one somewhere but can't remember where???

 

Many thanks in advance guys & girls x

if they say they cant find a copy of the transcript then they are breaking the law under the Data Protection Act

 

any correspondance you have with them, they have the legal obbligation to record it farily and accurately.

Thanks for the info guys - You have been so informative - Spend 5 hrs on the site last night reading up - I have sent of the CCA Letter recorded delivery yesterday and they signed for it today - Clock is ticking. I am going to take these guys down with everything I have. I cannot belive i was so stupid in the first instance not to request a copy of my credit agreement. One of the debts is an overdraft which the bank kept putting up without my authority - Granted I used it but I will be getting charges removed and (what would my stance be as an overdraft is not signed for?) I will be reclaiming all my direct debits of £3210 from my bank once they default - Thanks again guys

CAP1 - are the funniest people - the entertainment I have had from these people :grin: Just give them "rope" and you'll not fail to beat these people - they are funnier than a cart load of monkey's ? They "mega mucked up" as my son would say!! :lol:

 

It's like instant "karma" ? When I think of the hardship these people put us through when even though I thought we'd relevant insurance covers and PPI - and they wormed out of settling card repayments and slapped us for charges etc.. - I so struggled like many people on here and found it near impossible to cope financially - AND NOW THIS STUFF ?? Like they say "what goes around - comes around" ?:lol:

Guys and gals get this....

 

I have today received a letter from H Cohen following my CCA request, and they are enclosing a copy APPLICATION FORM for a store card (which they refer to as "the original agreement") BUT even better, where my signature appears on the application form, someone has written in a date in x/x/96, and in the signature box below (signed by the company the date appears as x/x/95...)

 

And so...since I took this agreement out on x/x/95 the date under my signature has been added!. So someone has definitely "fiddled" with this application form - also at the top there is a scribble of a name in EXACTLY the same handwriting as whoever has written the wrong date under my signature!! The photocopy is also pretty naff and I can't read the terms and conditions either. They have also defaulted as they signed for my CCA letter on 3rd April 2007 - some 25 days ago!

 

Probably them fiddling with it is why it has taken them so long to get it to me! :idea:

 

The letter states they look forward to receiving my further payments as they "trust this is in order"

 

Well bow larks to that! My gut feeling immediately is that this is certainly NOT in order for all the reasons above, but will one of you lovely peeps please confirm this for me ready for when they kick off as they are one of the awkward ones.

 

By way of some background, these are the low lifes who sent me "fake" court forms when they originally took over the debt :-x ...not that it got them anywhere cos I played them at their own game, filled in the alleged "court forms", sent an income and expenditure form prepared by the CAB with it and a full explanation of my financial situation. At the time I didn't realise these were fake, it was only after reading about it on help sites.

 

Shortly after Cohens wrote to me again and said "pay up or else the court will enforce judgement" I wrote back to them that they should not be contacting me but should contact the court direct for a decision since they had "instructed the court" and I told them I had already sent back the paperwork by recorded delivery to the court!! :p

 

Amazingly, just a couple of days later they wrote to agree my offer of £1 token amount "under the exceptional circumstances"!

 

This lot are so unscrupulous I need to know where I stand before I kick bottoms!

 

Many thanks

Spiritgirl ;)

Hiya guys

 

Am starting a new thread on this task so as not to get confused.

 

Sent off all CCA requests (11 in total) at the beginning of the month, recorded delivery.

 

Interestingly all hassling phone calls have suddenly stopped this week from one DCA in particular (a bunch of rude and ignorant low lifes who are constantly abusive ... you'll no doubt guess who I mean!) ) so I'm wondering if they have now seen my CCA letter and realise they haven't got a leg to stand on :D

 

So far only one response out of the 11 with a copy of my actual signed agreement (which is kosher) so the clock is now ticking.

 

Will update as and when I get anything back.

 

Best of luck everyone, I am following many of your threads with interest.

 

Spiritgirl ;)

 

Spiritgirl - they are definitely "meddling" with DOCS in there and I have seen another version other than the "application form" which they are also trying to convince the account holder "this is the original executed agreement" - theirs is totally different to mine and looks like the signature was pasted back to front - if held backwards to the light it reads the correct way - but on a page face upwards is illegible.

 

But as we know early days with this company - they are shooting more toes off their feet everyday!! :D

Thanks Elizabeth :)

 

I intend to fight the lot of them all the way - I just feel it will not be easy and do anticipate some of them kicking off, but as I've said before the ONLY properly executed document I have is that from the A&L which to my mind is definitely a "precedent" as to how these documents should appear. I wish I knew a County Court Judge personally, because I would love to get his/her opinion on this!

 

I am also bearing in mind that RBS wrote off my debt due to them admitting in writing they were unable to find the proper executed agreement - they did not send an application form instead! - so all these little events and the written proof I have are surely in my favour!

 

Will keep you posted and thanks for your help.

You are all on the right track:grin:. I Have vapourised about £32k of debt with CCA's in the last nine months. I just got a letter from nice Mr Beavan at Lowells telling me that I "should recieve no further correspondence" with regards to my £4,285.40 Capital One balance. I was looking forward to the Lowell / Hampton Postman Pat Statutory Demand however...:evil:

Stormo, of course I don't mind you adding to this thread ;)

 

Well friends the day has arrived! They have now ALL except for A&L defaulted in one way or another! :D :D

 

I still can't believe it to be honest...so out of nearly £50k of debt and 11 Creditors I now have only one payment to make to A&L.

 

Interestingly the phone rang late last night and when I checked 1471 it was one of the 10 trying to contact me...so let the games begin!!! :p Calls will be totally ignored, and I shall await contact from them in writing!

 

I'll be back when I hear anything from them which I am sure I will cos they will by now be wondering where their money is!! :)
