    • Ok you are in the clear. The PCN does not comply with the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012 Schedule 4 for two reasons. The first is that in Section 9 [2][e]  says the PCN must "state that the creditor does not know both the name of the driver and a current address for service for the driver and invite the keeper— (i)to pay the unpaid parking charges ". It does not say that even though it continues correctly with blurb about the driver. The other fault is that there is no parking period mentioned. Their ANPR cameras do show your arrival and departure times but as that at the very least includes driving from the entrance to the parking space then later leaving the parking space and driving to the exit. It also doesn't allow for finding a parking spot: manoeuvering into it avoiding parking on the lines: possibly having to stop to allow pedestrians/other cars to pass in front of you; returning the trolley after finishing shopping; loading children disabled people in and out of the car, etc etc.  All of that could easily add five, ten or even 15 minutes to your time which the ANPR cameras cannot take into account. So even if it was only two hours free time you could  still have been within the  time since there is a MINIMUM of 15 minutes Grace period when you leave the car park. However as they cannot even manage to get their PCN to comply with the Act you as keeper cannot be pursued. Only the driver is now liable and they do not know who was driving as you have not appealed and perhaps unwittingly given away who was driving. So you do not owe them a penny. No need to appeal. Let them waste their money pursuing you . 
    • If Labour are elected I hope they go after everyone who made huge amounts of money out of this, by loading the company with debt. The sad thing is that some pension schemes, including the universities one, USS, will lose money along with customers.
    • What's the reason for not wanting a smart meter? Personally I'm saving a pile on a tariff only available with one. Today electricity is 17.17p/kWh. If the meter is truly past its certification date the supplier is obliged to replace it. If you refuse to allow this then eventually they'll get warrant and do so by force. Certified life varies between models and generations, some only 10 or 15 years, some older types as long as 40 years or maybe even more. Your meter should have its certified start date marked somewhere so if you doubt the supplier you can look up the certified life and cross check.
    • No I'm not. Even if I was then comments on this forum wouldn't constitute legal advice in the formal sense. Now you've engaged a lawyer directly can I just make couple of final suggestions? Firstly make sure he is fully aware of the facts. And don't mix and match by taking his advice on one aspect while ploughing your own furrow on others.  Let us know how you get on now you have a solicitor acting for you.

    • 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.

You might want to copy those two letters to the OFT, Duffers Mum.

 

The first one breached OFT guidelines in that they must not imply that they have obtained CCJ when they havent and the 2nd confirms they were fibbing. Error my btm !!

Hi DM..I have a similar Sainsbury's Bank credit card, dated 2002...and am dealing with an Unenforeceable Agreement (missing prescribed terms). Also a defective DN.. Was just wondering, where did you get your original application from ...and did you post a copy up of it ?

It's just I saw a case a while back...Traynor v Phoenix recoveries, where Traynor said he was given an application form in Sainsbury's supermarket...and I'm sure there was another where the guy recalled the application form 'fell out of a magazine' he had bought. both early 2000's. My application form was in the Sunday Express, as I recall...It helps if you can remember where and what you had when you signed it I guess.

Oh Duffers Mum, is this little odyssey still continuing ?????

 

Now take a good big chunk of delight out of this. 1. Wright Hazzle were caught with there pant's down telling you a porky pie, if they think they can do it,, what do you think Crapbot do.. BUT THE MOST IMPORTANT THING I SEE ON MAY 21ST 2013 IS THEY STILL HAVE NOT TAKEN YOU TO COURT !!!!!!!!!! SPEAKS VOLUMES TO ME. IF THEY THINK THEY HAD A CASE FOR YOUR HARD EARNED THEY WOULD HAVE BEEN THERE FASTER THAN MR BOLT.

 

I hope there is a little smile on duffers mum's face,

May I ask the point behind this please?

 

I was asking DM if she could recall where she obtained the blank application form from because from what I've seen of the application form they have sent her back, there is no mention of any prescribed terms on it. Not sure it even says overleaf or attached. This suggests it was a seperate leaflet perhaps to the application form ..or maybe no leaflet at all...in which case it is unenforceable (127(3))..DM would need to recall though, which she says she cannot at the moment.

 

The issue regarding Cabot charges...there should be no charges after the default is issued. in fact it is arguable if charges should be applied after the creditor has been first advised of difficulties with the account. A letter to Cabot should be sent, listing all fees/interest and compounded interest demanding a refund and advising the issue will be taken to the FOS if they fail to comply. The FOS will insist they refund...If there was any interest or fees charged by Sainsburys after you agreed a reduced payment plan, these should also be refunded too, so send them a letter too and tell them if they fail to refund, you go to the FOS with them too., The FOS will make them refund you..

I can't remember, but what they have sent is the application form and a load of t&cs printed off on a computer, I will check charges from sainsburys, I don't want to contact Cabot at the moment as they are quiet, I will wait until they start again!

oh, and head your letters OFFICIAL COMPLAINT...then they have to respond through the complaints procedures...

Formal Complaint is the correct term then they have 56 days to reply, and if they make a Final Response you can take the case to FOS.

Citizen will look into doing just that..I know from reading other posts that its standard procedure,for them to send that letter out, so implying it was sent in error is also untrue :)

 

They were making the same 'error' more than six months previously to your's Duffers Mum! Same letter sent to my OH in Oct last year for a Citi card. :!:

 

I've been looking for my Sainsbury's thread but can't find it! Will have to get my file out and update myself with it as I've received a call on my mobile, a text and now a letter today from ARC Europe. I can't remember the last time I had any correspondence regarding Sainsbury's CC.

 

I'll have a full read through your thread when I have a little more time

Where have you been hiding that CB? :wink:

 

Thank you, looks like I've got a lot of updating on it but I haven't had anything for ages that I can remember and the months go by so quickly, it may be 2009 since I heard anything!

Cabot have sent me a letter saying they have been trying to contact me as I owe £xxxx to them.

 

 

.the last I heard was in March 2013 when Wright Hassell said they were closing their file and returning it to Cabot.

 

 

Presume I shoild just ignore?

 

 

If they take to court now surely the court will wonder why they have taken 5 years and not contacted me for almost 2 years?

Courts are used to claims from anxious creditors bearing cases on brink of S B. Nothing especially unusual in a 2 year absence of contact and I'm afraid it doesn't much help you. If I were you, I wouldn't be responding to Cabot just yet.

Another little note from Cabot saying they understand how difficult it is to clear my account over a short period of time and because they are nice caring people they are prepared to reduce the balance and all I need to do is give them a call...for starters the balance wouldn't be as high if they hadn't added almost £3k of unauthorised charges, then farmed it out to a group of muppet solocators who implied cabot had a CCJ against me before closing their file and returning after they couldn't find appropriate paperwork...if they think I'm calling them they are sadly mistaken...they can jog on.....however I guess by offering me a reduction means they know they don't have the correct paperwork...I await their next letter!

Sadly not until summer 2016 as I carried on paying...I've since received a statement of account and associated garbage from them, obviously their new way of doing things...says no charges are added, not sure what.the £2.5K which has been added by them is if not charges...they really do take the Micky.
