    • It is an interesting Final Notice. Firstly because there is usually a reminder Notice before the final Notice. Secondly because it contains some of the wording that should be in the original PCN [aka Notice to keeper]. It could be that the necessary wording in the NTK is missing so they put it in the Reminder Notice to cover their error. If they have it hasn't worked. But the only wat we will know if you post up the back page of the Notice to keeper along with the other details asked for on Post 8 .  If they have got it wrong it means that they are unable to transfer the liability to pay the PCN from the driver to the keeper . I take it that you are the keeper and not the hirer? And do you know how long you are supposed to stay in that car park? In the past I have found Sainsbury's pretty good at cancelling PCNs for their customers. Take both PCNs in to the store and point out if you are a regular customer and that the driver spent a lot of money in their store and see if they could please do something with the ticket for you. if the manager can't help, then come back and we will give you their Head office and write to them. It is the easiest and quickest way to get the ticket cancelled. No point in appealing since that would mean they lose the chance to make any money out of you which is their whole reason for running the car park. If you cannot get Sainsbury to cancel then we rely on ECP getting things wrong so that you don't have to pay  on a technicality or technicalities. For example if the PCN does not comply with the Act and the keeper is not then liable it makes it difficult for ECP to win should it go to court as so many people are legally able to drive your car and Courts do not accept that the driver and the keeper are the same person. Which is why we do need to see the questionnaire filled in and the rest of the NTK. Also it would be helpful to get photos of the signs in the car park. Ones that can be read by us, and the sign at the entrance as well as the inside ones especially those that are worded differently. Poor signage is another defence that works well and you will  need a good defence should they decide to go to Court.
    • Thanks for answer ref address/bank. Thought it wise to double-check.   When I reply to them as per post #5, what should my reason for dispute be?   " dispute this debt because..recommended reason as advised from your thread and add the debt purchaser has yet to provide any or all of the required documentation."

    • Yeah only £10 so may as well just get it done. When it comes to liaising with the police and bargaining before it hopefully goes to court. How does that happen? Via email? Phone call etc

    • 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've just noticed that the account number quoted by MBNA and Global is completely different, although the amount they claim I owe is the same. Is there any significance in this?

 

Fred

Before you criticise another man you should first walk a mile in his shoes. Then, when you criticise him, you'll be a mile away and he won't have any shoes on.

 

Don't get me confused with somebody knowledgeable by all those green blobs. I got most of them by making people laugh.

I think the DCA's just produce a new number to tie in with their filing system.

 

So how does this explain that MBNA quoted the same number and presumably, their letter was sent first - although they were both in the same envelope? This is a sixteen-digit credit card number - would Arrow Global use a number like that? I may be able to check this as my old Egg Credit Card account has also been bought by Arrow.

I'm still looking into this, but I'm fairly certain that an account like this starting with 4129 is a credit card account. So why would Arrow use and account number like this? I wonder if there has been a boob. At the very least, when I first get contacted by the Wescot idiots I will tell them I don't recognise this number and leave them to explain.

If it's come in the same envelope it could be that Arrow produced both of them, I have read on other threads that this does happen!

 

If they are still using the 16 digit reference number, could it be from an old expired card? This happened with one of mine that I just happened to remember the number of.

Thanks dpick.

 

I'll use it to wind up Wescot in the first instance.

Well well.

 

My MBNA account has also just been flogged to Arrow to be managed by Westcot, (who had it already). As I have it in writing from MBNA that they cannot produce an agreement, or due to the age of the account even come up with a realistic reconstruction, Arrow have bought a pup.

 

Will wait until Westcot contact me regarding this, then quite cheerfully tell them to **** off.

Hi David,

 

Is the account number they quote one you are familiar with?

Got the same letter today - Arrow have just got another pig in a poke!

 

Steve,

 

Given what you said in your previous post, I'm now wondering what to do about this. There are plenty of other ways to get Wescot disappearing up their own orifice. I'm just amazed by this. I get 2 letters in the same envelope, both with a new account number. MBNA even state that "We're writing to let you know that we've assigned our rights in respect of the outstanding balance under the above referenced account to Arrow Global Guernsey Limited." But the above-referenced account, is not one that I've ever had and nowhere in this document is there a reference to what the previous MBNA account number was. What a stupid blunder. They could well be issuing default notices and court documents relating to an account number I've never had. Bloody idiots.

 

I think the best bet at the moment is to keep schtum.

 

Regards.

Agree Fred, see which way the cats going to jump.

 

I to found it a bit odd getting both letters in the same envelope, also they were delivered to me 10 days after the date, (according to the date on the letters), they were written.

 

All a bit strange until you look at the 'if undelivered please return to: PO Box 189, Huddersfield HD8 1DY' on the back of the envelope.

 

This return address is used by, among others, Westcot/Nelson Guest.

I think Victoria-sempre has also started a thread in respect of IDEM.

 

http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?335755-Sold-on-to-Idem

 

Nelson Guest are a solicitor for rent - if you write to them, they just hand over the letters to Wescott.

 

I would think with regard to the Assignments, that MBNA have had no input at all - They will have been printed by Arrow/Wescot - I am not sure how relevant that is.

 

I guess if you want to make them work for their money you could send the following letter..

So guess what, off has gone me CCA request, should be interesting..... Have been so busy on other offenders that I forgot I had an Virgin Card... my way was if the original creditor was playing ball I would leave well alone.... now it's time to see what they produce. !!!!!!!!!!! have had a old morgan stanley a barclaycard and a yorkshire bank CC confirmed by Crabot that it is uneforceable because the original cannot be found.

Well it's been about 6 weeks since I was first informed that Arrow Global had bought this account and since then, nothing. I have noticed though that they have registered a default with the CRAs.

Well today I got this in my post from my good friends Moorcroft:

Moorcroft1-1.jpg

 

Now when Arrow Global bought this account, they told me it was being looked after by Wescot, so it seems that Wescot gave up without a shot being fired - I've not had one letter from them.
