    • That is a big improvement Dave and I do agree that it s best to leave it till the last moment to prevent VCS from countering your WS. [usually using doubtful logic that can't be easily argued against in a Court atmosphere] However my first post [no. 32] about the contract is the one that really exposes Jake's flummery and calls into  question jost how close he comes to committing perjury. And that is what hopefully VCS will not want questioned by a Judge. 
    • 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.

    • 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.

Is this from a creditor's point of view? I would imagine they would be fine although i'll do a bit of investigating for you. In the worst case I would imagine that the agreement would still be enforceable with the leave of the court (Providing the other aspects of the agreement are all OK)

 

This is not a definitive answer; I'll report back in a while.

thanks for getting back to me Sequenci:p I posted another thread..am i being fobbed off?....i`ve tried for the past two days to get the info uploaded but have now given up!! the application form contains....principal cardholder details,employment details,financial details,cardholder payment protection,card protection,additional cardholder,tesco credit balance transfer,data protection act,your declaration...which says,i apply for a tesco credit card and pin to be issued to me.i accept and agree to be bound by the general conditions applying to the card as set out serperately,and the details about the card as set out overleaf and as may be amended from time to time etc,your right to cancel and signature box....however at the top of the form where it says apply for your tesco credit card today,credit agreement regulated by the CCA 1974.Issued by TPF ltd.there is a box with 3.9% APR but it does`nt state whether it is fixed or variable-should`nt it state what form the apr is? As the terms and conditions were seperate,how do i/they prove that they were the ones that i agreed to at the time,and the ones that they sent me are as they have quoted the current ones....i thought everything had to be original as at the time of signing?Thanks for listening!! if you`re ever in norfolk i`ll see you right for a pint!!:razz:

I'm not a moderator, so can I answer, LOL?

 

Goodman -v- J Eban Limited. That decision established that:

 

  • mechanical signatures using rubber stamps, printing or typewriting were valid in english law;

  • a signature can be by a mark rather than a name as long as evidence can be given to identify the placer of the mark and the intention to sign; and

  • words other than a name can amount to a signature if the necessary intention to sign can be proven.

The decision in Goodman -v- J Eban Ltd was subsequently confirmed by the more recent decision in Re a Debtor (No 2021 of 1995).

 

However, if the stamp says something like "recieved by" etc, rather than stating an intention to be bound, it might not constitute a signature.

i will be off site for the next month or so. if you have any problems, feel free to report the post so a moderator can help you.

Are any of these agreements actually signed by you? Is the only thing signed by you the first page? And what was the date you signed?

Cos the only document that appears to have your signature on has an APR of 3.9%, no credit limit, and I was wondering whether you would get back more money via this route, compared to the unexecuted agreement route.

I would wait a while, until sequenci posts again.

 

In particular, though, If I were you I would ask him to look at the terms & conditions they sent to you (no 003 ) , since the APR is clearly different than what the application form states, suggesting that this was a precontractual document that does not embody the terms of the agreement.

I am no expert but isnt the first page an application.

Clearly at the top of the document it says "apply for your Tesco credit card today" and the declaration you have signed at the bottom starts "I apply for a Tesco credit card and PIN to be issued to me"

 

I would say that this isnt an executed agreement because who is to say that it was accepted. We know it was but can it be proven by the DCAs etc that it was subsequently approved and issued.

 

The last line of the declaration where you authorise them to make any enquiries necessary to confirm the information provided and assess you for credit would confirm my feelings about this.

Of course I will pay you everything you say I owe with no proof.

so,do i write to them and thank them for sending my application form? can i quote any bits that specifically make it an application and if i can what are they?Just so it sounds like i know what i`m on about!!Thanks again xx

Perhaps someone more knowledgeable may have differing opinions but mine would be to wait and see at this stage.

If they wish to take court action then the link posted earlier shows that an application for credit is not an executed agreement therefore you have a defence.

I know others have pointed out to DCAs what has been sent and then entered into a dialogue with them over its acceptability.

You could always PM Rory or Sequenci for an answer if they dont pop along shortly.

Of course I will pay you everything you say I owe with no proof.

thanks for that Belaflat,i have to renew my payment plan with them next month as they are accepting a lower payment it would be nice to know if the ball was in my court so they could accept a payment under my terms,also if they had any right to issue the default,i was a mess when we finally took hold of the reigns but thanks to this site i`m gaining more knowledge and confidence,basically i don`t cry everyday and dread the postman coming!!Because am i right in thinking that they have to remove the default if the agreement is unenforceable or is it tough s**t? I know i had so many days to do someting about the default but i did`nt know what the hell I was doing!! thanks for helping xx

Dont renew the payment plan as they are in default by not providing an executed agreement. They cannot take action or enforce a debt while it is in dispute.

Of course I will pay you everything you say I owe with no proof.
