    • I have just read the smaller print on their signs. It says that you can pay at the end of your parking session. given that you have ten minutes grace period the 35 seconds could easily have been taken up with walking back to your car, switching on the engine and then driving out. Even in my younger days when I used to regularly exceed speed limits, I doubt I could have done that in 35 seconds even when I  had a TR5.

    • Thank you for posting up the results from the sar. The PCN is not compliant with the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012 Schedule 4. Under Section 9 [2][a] they are supposed to specify the parking time. the photographs show your car in motion both entering and leaving the car park thus not parking. If you have to do a Witness Statement later should they finally take you to Court you will have to continue to state that even though you stayed there for several hours in a small car park and the difference between the ANPR times and the actual parking period may only be a matter of a few minutes  nevertheless the CEL have failed to comply with the Act by failing to specify the parking period. However it looks as if your appeal revealed you were the driver the deficient PCN will not help you as the driver. I suspect that it may have been an appeal from the pub that meant that CEL offered you partly a way out  by allowing you to claim you had made an error in registering your vehicle reg. number . This enabled them to reduce the charge to £20 despite them acknowledging that you hadn't registered at all. We have not seen the signs in the car park yet so we do not what is said on them and all the signs say the same thing. It would be unusual for a pub to have  a Permit Holders Only sign which may discourage casual motorists from stopping there. But if that is the sign then as it prohibits any one who doesn't have a permit, then it cannot form a contract with motorists though it may depend on how the signs are worded.
    • Defence and Counterclaim Claim number XXX Claimant Civil Enforcement Limited Defendant XXXXXXXXXXXXX   How much of the claim do you dispute? I dispute the full amount claimed as shown on the claim form.   Do you dispute this claim because you have already paid it? No, for other reasons.   Defence 1. The Defendant is the recorded keeper of XXXXXXX  2. It is denied that the Defendant entered into a contract with the Claimant. 3. As held by the Upper Tax Tribunal in Vehicle Control Services Limited v HMRC [2012] UKUT 129 (TCC), any contract requires offer and acceptance. The Claimant was simply contracted by the landowner to provide car-park management services and is not capable of entering into a contract with the Defendant on its own account, as the car park is owned by and the terms of entry set by the landowner. Accordingly, it is denied that the Claimant has authority to bring this claim. 4. In any case it is denied that the Defendant broke the terms of a contract with the Claimant. 5. The Claimant is attempting double recovery by adding an additional sum not included in the original offer. 6. In a further abuse of the legal process the Claimant is claiming £50 legal representative's costs, even though they have no legal representative. 7.

    • 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.

With regards to your referral to section 127(3) of the Consumer Credit Act. I must respectfully advise you that this subsection of the Act has been repealed and therefore you cannot rely on this. Futhermore you have not suffered any prejudice, the agreement will be enforceable as you have used the funds available to you and failed to repy them as evidenced by the statements we have enclosed again.

 

Really? Are they referring to the CCA 2006 - which only applies to agreements made after the middle of this year?

I do believe they are, SP. I do believe they are.

 

So they are either:-

a) Trying to hoodwink by giving false advice, or

b) Have a legal team so stupid that they don't deserve to be drawing their wages.

 

I really can't think of another explanation. But I admit the possibility that one exists. However infinitesimally remote that possibility might be.

 

I'm going for answer a, though. You all make up your own minds. ;)

You can read the post here... Cabot. Confused? at Cabot Financial Blog

 

But for those that can't be bothered, here's what I have written...

 

Cabot. Confused?

 

Well, it would appear that Cabot are advising their “customers” that they can no longer rely on Section 127 (3) of the Consumer Credit Act 1974. This is what they have to say on the matter…

With regards to your referral to section 127(3) of the Consumer Credit Act. I must respectfully advise you that this subsection of the Act has been repealed and therefore you cannot rely on this. Futhermore you have not suffered any prejudice, the agreement will be enforceable as you have used the funds available to you and failed to repy them as evidenced by the statements we have enclosed again.

Sorry, Cabot. I must regretfully tell you that you are in error once more. What you say applies to credit agreements regulated by the Consumer Credit Act 2006. This Act is NOT retrospective. So all agreements regulated by the CCA 1974 ARE still able to rely on section 127 (3) of that act, however much you wish that this were not the case.

To be kind, I am going to assume that you are accidentally mistaken. Otherwise, the only explanation I can come up with is, you are trying to falsely advise your customers on a point of law, which is at best in breach of OFT guidlines. That can’t possibly be true, can it?

So to anyone reading this who is so advised by Cabot regarding this matter, I trust this has put your mind at rest. But I’ll leave you with one final thought… for Cabot to be issuing this advice, they appear therefore to acknowledge that Section 127 (3) of the CCA 1974 completely blows their earlier arguments that any old scrap of paper can be assumed to be a valid agreement, right out of the water.

I think you would have to concede that point, wouldn’t you Willem?

So they're falsely using this to claim that a document has a legal force it doesn't actually have. Now where was that latest OFT guidance ..... ?

Trying to hoodwink by giving false advice

 

Surely Cabot aren't "leaving out or presenting information in such a way that it creates a false or misleading impression or exploits debtors' lack of knowledge", because this would be directly contrary to the OFT guidance, and would surely result in a formal complaint?

Hiya, Ive had a letter this morning from cabot financial. I thought they had forgotten about me lol.

 

I cant scan but its only a short letter so i will copy it.

 

Dear miss xxxxxx

We havent received any repayment proposal from you.

Its vital that you either pay the full outstanding balance of £1115.48 or send us your payment proposal without delay.

If we dont hear from you

As explained in our previous letter, well resume our telephone procedure if you dont send your full payment of payment proposal within 7 days from the date of this letter.

 

yours sincerely

Try this...

 

Dear Mr Anderson,

 

Thank you for your letter dated (whenever). As requested, I herewith detail my proposal for payment:

 

£0.00

 

I shall of course be pleased to recalculate that figure once I have absolute proof that the debt you allege I owe exists, or is otherwise due to you.

 

Until such time as you comply with my earlier request for a copy of any properly executed credit agreement, I must insist that you accept my very generous proposal.

 

Regards,

 

Karen

It's a template, so they can't possibly edit the telephone procedure bit out. That would require a degree of coherent thought and individuality.

 

Ignore it. They know full well that it's one thing to ignore guidelines, and quite another to leave themselves open to a charge of criminal harrassment.

 

Peter, if you or your minions are reading this, take heed. We're not fecking about here. ;)

Hiya ive today recieved a letter from barclaycard.

 

Dear miss *****

 

I refer to your complaint you raised with the fso.

 

I have reviewed your complaint and detail my findings

 

You have been contated by cabot f s about a barclaycard debt which you say does not relate to you. You have asked for a copy of the cca as proof of the debt.

 

A barclaycard account was opened in your name in december 1994 on receipt of the application form attatched. The account was sold to cabot financial services in august 2004. They are now the legal owners.

 

By signing the application form you have agreed to be bound by the terms of the agreement. I have enclosed a copy of the barclaycard conditions as the terms your credit card agreement may have been varied since the date it was entered into.

 

In requesting a signed copy of your agreement, we make reference to the consumer credit ( cancellation notices and copies of documents) regulations 1983 which states that there is no requiremnt for the copy of an executed agreement to contain any signature box any ate and signature.

 

We believe that the information enclosed completes our obligation to supply the information and copy documents under section 78 of the cca1974.

 

yours sincerely

 

 

Any help in what i should do next would be great.

 

thanks

ok so they believe they have carried out their side of the obligation ? without wanting to go through lots of threads K, is the agreement enforceable ? does it have prescribed terms ?

 

I am pleased to see that you confirm this as a true copy of the original agreement executed by yourselves on the 26th July 2007.

 

As you must realise this agreement does not conform to sections 60(1) and 61(1) of the Consumer credit Act and is therefore unenforceable under section 127(3) of the same act.

 

 

You had until (date here) to provide me with the true copy I requested. After that date you entered into default of my request. Whilst the account is in dispute, you are not permitted to ask for any payment, nor am I obliged to offer any payment to you. Furthermore, whilst the dispute remains, you are not entitled to charge any interest on the account, make any further charges to the account or pass the account to anybody else. I would also like to note that as from the (12+2 working days + 30 calendar days) it becomes a criminal offence.

Please note you may also consider this letter a statutory notice under Section 10 of the Data Protection Act to cease processing any data in relation to this account with immediate effect. This means you must remove all information regarding this account from your own internal records and from my records with any credit reference agencies including any defaults. Should you refuse to comply, you must within 21 days provide me with a detailed breakdown of your reasoning behind continuing to process my data. It is not sufficient to simply state that you have a ‘legal right’, you must outline your reasoning in this matter and state upon which legislation this reasoning depends.

 

Should you fail to respond within 21 days, I will expect that this means you agree to remove all such data.

Hiya i dont believe it is. I cant scan at the moment.

 

basically at top its headed barclaycard application.

 

It asks for my name, address, work details, any additional card holders, if i want ppi, its got a box saying applicants signature, there its states this is a credit agreement regulated by the consumer credit act 1974, (sign if you want to be legally bound by its terms. Just above this statement there is a box that is headed credit agreement regulated by the consumer credit act 1974 and its completely blacked out so cannot see what would have been in there. And at the bottom there is some small print which i cant read at all.

 

This is all it contains on this appliction form.

 

thanks
