    • 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. The Particulars of Claim is denied in its entirety. It is denied that the Claimant is entitled to the relief claimed or any relief at all.

    • 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 just cant get my head around this at all.These forums still mentioning unenforcible agreements.What if in my case there are not ANY agreements in place.We have been going around in circles since last July,three companies havent provided anything other than terms and conditions.They state thats all they have to provide and have said they can not produce the agreements.If they did have them I think we would have gone to court by now,but still we get hounded by solicitors letters and debt collectors.FOS are now investigating but I presume it will come to nothing.IF there are no signed agreements than these companies are operating my dads accounts illegally as they shouldnt be sharing data,shouldnt be adding defaults,and shouldnt be using anyone 3rd party.

 

IS this correct? could anyone with professional knowledge please advise me?thanks in advance.:???::???:

 

Not a professional opinion but from my experience the position is as follows.

 

If the agreement is uneforceable then all that it means is that a Court is not given powers under s127 of the CCA.

 

The debt will still exist.

 

As the debt exists the OC or any Company/DCA that it may have sold the account to are allowed to report the status of the account to the CRA's - although a default is only supposed to be registered once - in practice you may get more than one default for one account. The way to stop this would be to have the agreement declared "unenforceable" in court.

 

The OC or DCA will attempt to collect the outstanding debt but with much less venom - especially if they know that the agreement is uneforceable. This is no longer considered as enforcement ref McGuffick- v- RBS.

 

You may get some relief from the constant hounding by offering small percentage offers to settle

They should have a cca signed & dated by you. If not how can they prove the alleged debt exists. Also you need to see a statement of accounts to prove how much you owe. No contract no alleged debt. They can say you owe more money than you do.

If they do not have a signed agreement, then they are sunk.

 

They will however, still continue to chase for the debt. After 6 years it will become statute barred.

 

Theoretically, if they do not have your permission to share data, then they should not do so, but they will, until you challenge that, but it will be a long fight usually ending up in court.

if they have stated in writing that they do not have the original agreement- then that is the end of it (as far as legally enforcing the agreement is concerned)

 

however- you still OWE them the debt (assuming there are no counter claims for unlawful charges, interest ppi etc)

 

there is nothing stopping them from chasing you for payment- they just cant legally enforce the debt

 

IMO the best way to deal with this is along these lines (to any debt collector that contacts you)

 

dear Sirs

 

Re your reference XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

 

Your client has acknowledged that they do not have a properly signed and/or legally enforceable credit agreement.

 

until such time as your client provides me with a true copy of a properly executed and/or legally enforceable credit agreement , together with copies of any other documents referred to within that agreement AND copies of any amended or varied agreements and in a form that is Easily legible, i will not communicate further in this matter

 

In short, your client must either now "Put up" or "shut up"

 

all further correspondence of a circular nature will be filed unanswered

 

Yours sincerely

Hi Im a newbie so hope this is in correct place!. Unfortunately I have recently set the ball rolling to set up a DMP with CCCS, which so far so good! One interesting thing that has occurred is that HSBC (one of my creditors )wrote a very strange letter asking for my signaturelink3.gif as it wasnt on their file? I rang them to ask what they meant and she first of all said it wasnt on my file, then changed story to say it didnt agree and would I go to any HSBC Bank, quote my credit card number and give them a new signature? She also insinuated that the DMP agreement was reliant on this happening but I got their agreement next day so this was also untrue. I have had this credit card for over 20 years and have never defaulted (even now is UTD but reduced DMP payments will obviously make a difference) so would appreciate any advice as to what this all means?

IMO they want to 'recreate' an agreement with a copy & paste signature dmp. Almost postive proof they don't have an agreement.

Don't go anywhere near an HSBC branch with your signature & don't sign anything - not even a letter to them!! Print or use a digital signature.

 

Have you ever applied for a copy of your agreement under S78? May produce an interesting result ;)

Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately, I have already signed the DMP agreement which they have although this is on CCCS letterhead. I have never applied for copy of anything - what does "agreement under S78" actually do? I really am not in a position at the moment to upset them as I really need to keep them happy so that they will agree to the DMP. Would it actually be worth me doing this?:?

You are entitled at any time to apply for a copy of your agreement under S78 of the CCA1974. It costs £1.00. You would need to send a PO (not a cheque), letter of request (no signature-see previous post) & send by Rec. Del. They have 12+2 days to produce it.

The template is here:

http://www.consumerforums.com/resources/templates-library/86-debt-collectors/581-cca-request-letter

 

When you have received it, start your own thread, post it up (minus your personal details) & CAGers will tell you whether they think it is enforceable in law. If it is not enforceable, you choose how to take it from there depending on your circumstances eg. as to whether you continue to pay them but be aware that if you stop payments they may take you to court & you would have to prove that the agreement was not enforceable.

However even if you continue with debt management payments they may still take you to court at some point in the future :( but you may want to leave that bridge until it breaks instead of taking an axe to it at this time.

 

A simple S78 request should not rock the DMP status but you may prefer to leave it until you have your plan agreed.

thanks to beaubrummie,diddydicky,vint1954,and lightningd.This is exactly the missing information i have been looking for to push things to another level.They have all stated they cant find the original agreements.When i used to do car finance there were correct protocol to adhere to and if you didnt sign someone up correctly the agreement was null and void,thats why we had to have a credit licence.Why do these people think they are any different?

I will now use the letter from diddydicky see if that works thanks again i just needed a different angle of things.;);)

The Ombudsman said that I can check the legality of the contract with Lloyds Bank only in the court. However National debt line advised me to check it with solicitor company.

I wonder if somebody has ever checked the legality with solicitor before going to court?

Hi alina

:confused: Which contract? Can you start a new thread on your specific problem stating all the details & actions to date? (minus any personal info of course) Suggest you post in the Lloyds forum where you might get more help than on this long thread here.

Thank you.

It is a credit agreement between my husband and Lloyds bank dated 2003, which looks like unenforceable as there is no signature under Term and Condition.

So we searched for advice and looked in the internet where there are lots of companies, which promised to check the credit agreement and give certificate, if they found the agreement is unenforceable. It will be cost up to £300. But we aren’t sure if it is worth.

:eek::eek: It most definitely is not worth it!!

 

Start your own thread in the Lloyds forum, post up a copy of the agreement you have (minus personal details) & put a link to it on this thread so it can easily be followed by CAGers.

Sorry if this is in the wrong place but ive been away for a while and not sure where to post it.

Ive rung my catalogue today (GU) to complain about the £12 charge for a missed payment, which occurs because my hubby gets paid 6 days after they want their money

They won't change the payment date as we requested because they say it's set in stone but as it's a new account and we've only made two payments are they being unreasonable?

Unless we can pay further upfront we're going to get this charge every month :???:

Sounds like a lazy customer service oppo's fob off to me. Ask to speak to a supervisor or put it in writing.

I have been asked this:-

 

Hi Diddy

I know it seems to be a commonly accepted argument that without an original CCA there is no legal enforcement, do you have any statute to confirm this?

 

if only, if only

 

the architects of the consumer credit act created confusion when none ought to haev existed by stating that " the original SHOULD" be produced in court

 

IF ONLY "should" would have been written as "shall" all our troubles would be over!!
