    • I have received a PCN from Euro Car Parks for MFG - Esso Cobham - Gravesend. I was completely unaware that there was any such limit for parking and always considered this to be a service station. I stopped there to use the toilet, have a coffee and made a couple of work calls. I have read the previous topics on this location which suggest I can ignore this and ECP will not take legal action. The one possible complication is that the vehicle is leased by my employer so I do not want to involve them with the associated reminders and threatening letters. The PCN was first issued to the leasing company Arval who have notified ECP of the hiring company. I have attached a copy of the PCN Notice to Hirer with details removed as per instructions. What options do I have or should I just pay the PCN promptly at the reduced rate of £60? img20240424_23142631.pdf
    • What you have uploaded is a letter with daft empty threats from third-party paper tigers.  Just ignore it. What we need to see is the original invoice you received last October or November.
    • Thanks for posting the CPR contents. i do wish you hadn't blanked out the dates and times since at times they can be relevant . Can you please repost including times and dates. They say that they sent a copy of  the original  PCN that they sent to the Hirer  along with your hire agreement documents. Did you receive them and if so can you please upload the original PCN without erasing dates and times. If they did include  all the paperwork they said, then that PCN is pretty near compliant except for their error with the discount time. In the Act it isn't actually specified but to offer a discount for 14 days from the OFFENCE is a joke. the offence occurred probably a couple of months prior to you receiving your Notice to Hirer.  Also the words in parentheses n the Act have been missed off. Section 14 [5][c] (c)warn the hirer that if, after the period of 21 days beginning with the day after that on which the notice to hirer is given, the amount of unpaid parking charges referred to in the notice to keeper under paragraph 8(2)(f) or 9(2)(f) (as the case may be) has not been paid in full, the creditor will (if any applicable requirements are met) have the right to recover from the hirer so much of that amount as remains unpaid; Though it states "if any applicable ...." as opposed to "if all applicable......" in Section 8 or 9. Maybe the Site could explain what the difference between the two terms mean if there is a difference. Also on your claim form they keeper referring to you as the driver or the keeper.  You are the Hirer and only the Hirer is responsible for the charge EVEN IF THEY WEREN'T THE DRIVER. So they cannot pursue the driver and nowhere in the Hirer section of the Act is the hirer ever named as the keeper so NPC are pursuing the wrong person.

    • 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.

Section D - amount ***

Applications - No

Witnesses -Me as a witness of fact

Experts - No

Track - Fast

 

Section E - I think one hour although they have listed 3 hours on the AQ

(do you think this is reasonable?) go for 2 hours just to be on the safe side although it wont take that long if they dont supply the documents

 

Section F - Directions - Yes and I will attach directions

Have they been agreed - No

 

Section G - Costs - I will leave blank

 

Section H - Other - Yes for the attached docs

Yes for sending to other parties

I wondered if some one could clarify the the template letter for the CCA request - this bit;

 

I do not acknowledge any debt to your company I understand that under the Consumer Credit Act 1974 (Sections 77−79)

Is it okay to add this as it stands or should I amend it to reflect whether it is a card or loan or overdraft?

TIA :)

I am comleting the list of documents:standard disclosure - form N265, would I be correct in thinking that I need only complete the claim details/claimant/defendant etc and then just tick the Defendant box, date and sign it and attach the list of documents and documents to it? the other bits are about carrying out searches but don't seem to be relevant - is this correct?

Hi

 

ok, well, i am a wee bit busy at this moment in time

 

the best thing i can suggest is to give your court a quick call,they are very helpful in these matters and if you explain that you only recieved the order a day or so ago im sure they will point you in the right direction

 

if youre still stuck then, give us a shout

 

 

 

regards

paul

ok will do :)

 

I am still trying to complete the disclosure list - I have spent hours trying glean information on here - I have all the documents that I have in my possession and have all these listed but am really confused as to which bits of the consumer credit act I need to list and include. I have the documentation from Wilson v First County Trust. Does anyone know what else I should include?

 

I presume that I don't need to include the AQ in the list of docs as they already have this, is there anyone that can help with which bits of case law and acts that I need to include in the bundle?

it says; each party shall give standard diclosure to the other party by list (with a copy of all the relevant documents attached) by 4:00pm

 

do you mean calling the court - I asked them about timescales as our post is so slow -( I got an unrelated letter this morning dated and postmarked the 5th Jan) and also about the form but they said that they were not able to help - they siad that they were not able to give advice

 

and also do I need to include a further copy of my defense in the bundle as they have had this also?

 

I have just called the the court again and they are willing to extend the deadline until friday due to the lateness of the post and they have updated their system accordingly. I have listed all the documents that I have bar the defense and the aq so far and also the wilson case para 29. Is there anything else that needs to be added?

i would say,

 

All copies of letters and correspondence (i mean everything) itemized as per the Document i sent you

 

under the heading statutes

 

CCA 1974

 

Consumer Credit (Agreements) Regulations 1983 (SI 1983/1553)

 

Consumer Credit (Enforcement, Default and Termination Notices)

Regulations 1983 (SI 1983/1561)

 

under the heading of case law

 

Wilson and another v Hurstanger Ltd [2007] EWCA Civ 299

 

Woodchester Lease Management Services Ltd v Swain & Co - [1998] All ER (D) 339

EDIT, just seen your above post, i see you have to send a copy to the court

thanks Paul, I have added all that I have but it is not much as I am still waiting for all the info requested from the solicitors. Do you have a copy of the CCA1974? I have the rest - thank you so much for your help.

 

sorry to be really thick but when you say everything, do you mean the defence statement and also copies of the AQ's as well as the court and the claimant will already have these

 

I have documented everything as per the doc that you sent, thank you for sending that to me

hi, nope , including your defence would be an idea to refer to imho

however what you need is every letter that you have sent the claimant in discussion of this dispute and every reply they sent back

 

you dont need to include the copy of the AQ

 

i would say that you need to copy the key points from the CCA.

 

section 60,61,78,127

 

but heres the best place to copy that from Results within legislation - Statute Law Database

 

as the copy i sent you has been amended by the 2006 cca which for these purposes is irrelevent

this was the app form that they sent in response to the CCA, they have not replied to my data request, I also sent a SAR to HFC in July but did not get a reply.

 

They sent a Stat demand that I completed a set aside for and the courts wrote to advise that it has been withdrawn including the claimants letter to the court to withdraw it but no conf from the claimant.

 

The sent a copy of an AQ but other than that nothing

 

i have not has a default notice that I can find other than one that was included in the claim I posted it on here and it appears to be ok, I did notice that my postcode was incorrect - but other than that was correct

right then

 

firstly,

 

it is not compliant with Regulation 2 ,Consumer Credit (Cancellation Notices and Copies of Documents)Regulations 1983 (SI 1983/1557) as it is not clearly legible and the lettering is not clearly distinguishable from the background

 

secondly, the prescribed terms set out in schedule 6 (regulation 6(1)) of Consumer Credit (Agreements) Regulations 1983 (SI 1983/1553) are missing, and further more Wilson and another v Hurstanger Ltd confirms that the prescribed terms must be contained within the agreement not in a seperate document

Hi all,

 

I am reaching the end of the paperwork regarding a court case with HFC - the last thing that I need to do is the pre-trial checklist.

 

Does anyone have an example of one of these, it is all pretty much straight forward except the first page -

 

1. I confirm that I have complied with those directions already given which require action by me. YES

 

2. I believe that additional directions are necessary before the trial takes place. YES/NO

 

I don't think that additional directions are needed as they remain the same as when they were first submitted. ...

 

The Claimant shall within 14 days of service of this order send to the Defendant and to the Court:

  • Copies of the Credit Agreement and any documents referred to within it which complies with the consumer Credit Act 1974 and all subsequent regulations
  • Default Notice compliant with s87 (1) Consumer Credit Act 1974 andConsumer Credit (Enforcement, Default and Termination Notices) Regulations 1983 (SI 1983/1561) as amended,
  • Document, contract or deed of assignment if any,
  • Notice of assignment, with proof of service of the same compliant with s196 of the Law of Property Act 1925 if any.
  • Copies of any statement or other document relied upon,

the judge ordered that the claimant supply all the information detailed in a request for information;

1. A true copy of the executed credit agreement and any terms and conditions that applied to the account at the time of default and at the time the account was opened.

2. All records you hold on me relevant to this case, including but not limited to:

 

a. Transcriptions of all telephone conversations recorded and any notes made in relation to telephone conversations by your company, or by any previous creditor

b. Where there has been any event in my account history over this period which has required manual intervention by any person, I require disclosure of any indication or notes which have either caused or resulted in that manual intervention, or other evidence of that manual intervention in relation to my account formerly held with ORIGINAL CREDITOR.

c. True copies of any notice of assignment and/or default notice or enforcement notice that you or the original creditor sent me, with a copy of any proof of postage that you hold.

d.Documents relating to any insurance added to the account, including the insurance contract and terms and conditions, date it was added and deleted (if applicable).

e. Details of any collection charge added to the account; specifically, the date it was levied, the amount of the charge, a detailed financial breakdown of how the charge was calculated, and what the charge covers.

f. Specific details of the fees/charges levied by any other agency in respect of this account and a detailed breakdown of said fees/charges and what each charge relates to and on what date said fees/charges were levied.

g. A genuine copy of any notice of fair use of my data as required by the Data Protection Act 1998

h. A list of third party agencies to whom you have disclosed my personal data and a summary of the nature of the information you have disclosed.

i. Copies of statements for the entire duration of the credit agreement.

 

3. Any other documents you seek to rely on in court.

 

but this has not been forthcoming.

 

I have written to request this again but my requests have been ignored. Should I just write again and does anyone have a letter that can be used?

 

 

Witnesses is just me - there are no experts allowed.

 

Presentation, again just me

 

The Trial details are straight forward

 

and then F - It lists a series of tick boxes, asking you to say which you have attached,

 

an application and fee for additional directions

a draft order

Listing fee - what is this?

A proposed timetable for trial - what do I need to for this?

An estimate of costs - Do I need to submit this as I am the defendant.

 

Thank you in advance

Hi i'm just 'bumping' this for you to see if someone can offer you some advice :)

I'm midway through the tunnel, but getting closer to the light.

 

 

 

Please be aware that i am not an expert in anything!

I may offer an opinion, but the final decision is yours.
