    • Write to the IPC complaining that UKPC have not observed the requirements of PoFA . IPC  Waterside House, Macclesfield SK10 9NR Dear IPC, I am writing to complain about a serious breach of the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012 by UKPCM. I feel that as it is more a breach of the Act rather than not just  complying with your Code of Practice which is why I am bypassing your operator. Should you decide to insist that I first complain to your operator, I will instead pass over my complaint to the ICO and the DVLA . My story starts with being issued a windscreen PCN on 8/3/24 which was almost immediately removed and a second  PCN was then  sent by post on 13/3/24  [deemed delivered 15/3/24] which I did not receive and had to send an sar to have that particular mess revealed later  but that is not the reason for my complaint. UKPC then sent a Keeper Liability Notice dated 12/4/24 warning me that as 28 days have now elapsed, I as keeper am now liable for the charge.  This is in direct contravention of PoFA since the keeper does not become liable to pay until the day after the original PCN is deemed to have been given which would have been 13/4/24 -a Saturday ]. Not only does it not comply with PoFA but it fails to adhere to your Code of Practice and is in breach of their agreement with the DVLA. You will be aware that this is not the first time that UKPC have fallen foul of the DVLA and presumably yourselves. I have included copies of both Notices for information. You will realise the seriousness of this situation if this is standard practice from the UKPC to all motorists or just those where windscreen tickets are involved since the Law regarding PoFA is being abused and is unfair to misguide motorists. I await your  response which I understand will usually be within a week. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------I would think that should be sufficient for the IPC to cancel your PCN though  you should await comments from the Site team before sending your complaint. Don't forget to include both PCNs.  
    • Hi DX, Sorry, fell asleep as I was up all night last night writing that statement. Yes, I attached the rest of the witness statement on post 50, bottom of webpage 2. That's the important part.  It looks like the lawyer who wrote Erudio's Witness statement does not work for them any more. So, I'll have another lawyer representing instead. Not sure if I can use Andy's hearsay argument verbally if that happens.... I did not put it in writing. Apart from not sending deferral forms, my main argument is that in 2014 Erudio fixed some arrears mistake that SLC made and then in 2018 they did the same mistake, sent me confusing letters. What is the legal defence when they send you confusing material?

    • That isn’t actually what the Theft Act 1968 S1 actually says, BTW. https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1968/60/section/1 (1)A person is guilty of theft if he dishonestly appropriates property belonging to another with the intention of permanently depriving the other of it;   The difference between what you’ve said and the Act? a) intent to permanently deprive rather than  just depriving (which is why the offence of “taking without consent” was brought in for motor vehicles, as otherwise "joyriders" could say "but I intended to give it back at the end") b) dishonesty : If I honestly believed A's pen belonged to B, and took it and gave it to B - B might be found guilty of theft but I shouldn't be.

    • 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.

Yes, the defence put a massive grin on my face! :D

I can't wait for the outcome either, but I think when the sols see the defence, they'll realise they don't have a leg to stand on!

 

First shift back at work last night....wasn't too bad, but obviously I wished I was back at home. Ive only had about 4 hours sleep too because Im still used to getting up early-and Ive got to go do it all again tonight Grrrr

 

Thanks for the messages and support everyone. Its nice to see we're not alone in all this. :)

Got a letter from the Northampton Court Bulk Centre today just saying that they are acknowledging receipt of the defence and a copy is being served on the claimants solicitor.

 

Still up and running on MCOL. My guess is that they will just ignore it now, unless they've dug out some kind of loop hole....

Hi Monopoly, hope you are well and not suffering too much from your return to work. Still eager to see how your case goes - I do think you are in a good position! I thought I would let you know that the bank charges refund that I was claiming on behalf of my partner has just been paid. 13k!!! I am in shock. Whilst your case is totally different, I want to say, hang on in there - the feeling when it closes is unreal! I am absolutely screaming to tell everyone - just soooooooooo chuffed!! Thank God for the CAG!

WOW CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!

I wish I had 13k to claim lol. Well done! I bet you're well chuffed.

I think the solicitors will probably just ignore the defence to be honest, which seems a shame because of how good it is. I would have liked to see what they came up with. Unfortunately, I think they'll just leave it to Next to chase me for it. :D

No, no news. Just waiting to see if they just let their time run out.

 

It was a cartoon of an aquaruis woman pouring beer into a man's mouth instead of the usual water from a jug.(The water bearer) It said aquarians are less popular than beerarians. The cartoons just had fig leaves on though so it got a few complaints from those whose kids had seen it.

Just a quick question...

 

Ive just checked MCOL (again! lol) the claim is still up and running. Ive noticed though that it says the defence was received and processed 2nd July even though I filed it on 29th June. This makes it look like I filed it late. Will this matter?

 

Also if I filed it on 29th, does that give them until 1st August to respond? Or going by MCOL will it be the 3rd?

Hi again Monopoly,

 

I think it must be normal for MCOL to show the 'received' date as 3 days later than when you actually submitted your defence. I submitted my defence on the 11th of May and it shows the court received it on the 14th of May so I'm assuming it must just take 3 days from when anything is submitted online until it is actually processed at their end. When you submitted your defence using MCOL, you should have had the option to 'print confirmation page' which would include the original submission date & time. It didn't cause any problems for me so I think you should be ok.:)

 

Kind Regards,

 

Symeon.;)

Thanks Symeon. I think it has something to do with me submitting at 3.15pm on a Friday. It won't get processed until the Monday.

 

I noticed you submitted on a Friday too..

My understanding is that if you use MCOL the defence still has to go to the court. This would account for the time delay (particularly at the weekend).

DOPE... Silly me!:rolleyes:

 

The delay probrably is due to it being submitted on a Friday. I filed my AoS on a Friday too and it showed as received 4 days later which was a Tuesday due to it being Easter Monday, so it looks like they process info the next working day.

Hi Guys,

 

Sorry to but in on this posting, but my wife has a similar problem with Next/Howard Cohen.

 

We have sent a letter based on the letter posted by Monopoly23 on 11th June, but giving them until 23rd July to provide the details requested. Its now 24th and we have received nothing. We have filed acknowledgement with MCOL for the extra 14 days to prepare the defence.

 

We are hoping that they will follow the same line they did with Monopoly23, so that we could use the same defence provided by Laiste.

 

Any advice would be appreciated.:confused:

Roger

If they haven't responded within the time limit, or don't at all, you will have the evidence you need (proof of postage) to show that they have acted unreasonably and haven't provided the information needed for you to file a defence.

 

I don't know how you would present this to a judge or whatever, but someone who knows better might be able to point you in the right direction.

I should think that if they do provide what you need, then making a few small amendments to the defence Laiste kindly provided would suit you, if it's pretty similar.

If they don't give you the time to defend properly, then I'd suggest sending a PM to Sequenci or Laiste, who are both very knowledgeable but also very busy. They may be able to help

One wonders if they have ever read the Consumer Credit Act. Section 88 of the 1974 Act provides for the sending of default notices and allows regulations to be made specifying the form and content of these notices. The Consumer Credit (Enforcement, Default and Termination Notices) (Amendment) Regulations 2004 prescribe the form and content of these notices.

 

The default notice must contain all of the necessary information which includes

  • a statement saying the notice is a default notice served under section 87(1) of the 1974 Act
  • a description of the agreement
  • the name and address of both the debtor and the creditor
  • details of the breach (i.e. late payment) and, if the breach can be remedied, the date by which it must be remedied or, if the breach is not capable of remedy, the amount required to be paid after the expiry of the specified date;
  • a statement saying: if the action required by this notice is taken before the date shown no further enforcement action will be taken in respect of that breach
  • a statement saying: if you do not take the action required by this notice before the date shown then the further action set out below may be taken against you
  • a clear and unambiguous statement saying that if the action is not taken by the date specified, what it will do (for example, if will it terminate the agreement)
  • if the agreement is one of hire purchase or conditional sale, a statement saying: but if you have paid at least one third of the total amount payable under the agreement set out below (or any installation charge plus one third of the rest of the amount payable). The creditor may not take back the goods against your wishes unless he gets a court order. (In Scotland, he may need to get a court order at any time.) If he does take them back without your consent or a court order, you have the right to get back all of the money you have paid under the agreement set out below
  • if an amount of money is required to be paid, the amount before deducting any rebate on early settlement
  • statements saying:
  • if you have difficulty in paying any sum owing under the agreement or taking any other action required by this notice, you can apply to the court which may make an order allowing you more time
    if you are not sure what to do, you should get help as soon as possible. For example you should contact a solicitor, your local trading standards department or your nearest citizens' advice bureau

Also as of 1st October 2006 the period of notice to remedy the breach was increased from 7 days to 14 days from the date of service of the default notice. The CCA quite clearly states that the creditor shall not take action such as mentioned in s87(1) before the date so specified or before those 14 days have elapsed.

 

 

have read all yes all the thread & well done to you all

rory can you tell me the ruling for the words in red as we all thought defaults went from 7 days to 14 under the 2006 consumer credit act

 

thanks in advance

With effect from 1 October 2006, the provisions relating to service of a default notice under the Consumer Credit Act 1974 was amended. Section 14(1) of the Consumer Credit Act 2006 amends the relevant provision of the 1974 Act (section 88(2)) and provides that the period of notice given in the default notice is extended from 7 days to 14 days. An agreement cannot be enforced until a correctly prepared notice has been served.

 

The 2006 Act also makes provisions for further changes. For example, provision is made for a Default Notice to be accompanied by a Default Information Sheet.

HI, just registered, not sure if anyone can give me some advice.

 

I have received a letter today from barclays saying that they have sold my account to Lowell Portfolio 1 LTD. This relates to an un-secured business start up loan from Barclays business banking divsion in Basildon Essex.

 

I paid the loan for around 2 to 3 years, I fell out with my business partners and sold them my share of the business, at the same time ceased paying the barclays loan, I've not paid them anything for around 3 to 4 years.

 

I thought they had just written the debt off, but it seems not.

 

Any thoughts of what to do?
