    • 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.   Signed I am the Defendant - I believe that the facts stated in this form are true XXXXXXXXXXX 01/05/2024   Defendant's date of birth XXXXXXXXXX   Address to which notices about this claim can be sent to 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.

That's what I'm thinking - but if I default ( I already have 3 months missing payments), where do I stand? I want to keep the car - I got lucky and got a sweet car!

 

I suppose you could always pay back what you agreed to in the first place

post,

can i ask for a little advice please. my loan agreement was for 3986 however my balance starts at 4061. so the acceptance fee has been added.

 

the only t&c regarding the acceptance fee i can states -

"in order to ensure as far as possible that you will be able to meet your obligations under the loan, we will review your income and expenses, including any current indebtedness and other outgoings. The acceptance fee will be charged to you by being included in the total advance to cover this credit counselling. If you wish we will also provide you with a medium and long term financial plan."

 

is this a standard term that lets them of adding the acceptance fee to the the balance and then charge interest. It would also appear that they upped the interest by 8% although I can find any documentation in the SAR stating that they give me the 14 days notice.

Pity you couldn't tell welcome to pay back the fees and insurances that they got people to sign up to instead of stalling on refunds. Well you can only stall so long welcome.:lol:

I've yet to read a post describing how a welcome employee held a gun to a prospective client's head. Maybe all those who want to rip off welcome should just honour the terms of the contract they voluntarily signed when they went to the company cap in hand. All I've seen on this thread over the last few months is people who went to welcome because they'd borrowed from reputable companies and not honoured the terms of their contract for whatever reason, and so the high street would not touch them again. So when they wanted a new car/some more cash/a new credit card (delete as appropriate) they were forced to go to a company like welcome. With the exception of a few genuine cases, the rest knew what they were getting in to when they approached welcome. They knew they would have to pay through the nose, and it ****es me off that some people are now claiming they shouldn't have to meet the terms of their contract, and the loans they were given should in fact be just free money. Many recent posts have focussed on the apparent demise of Cattles, and suggestions that people should just cancel their direct debits and not pay anybody. It all stinks of double standards, you all knew what you were getting into when you went to welcome, as did I. For the record I took out a small unsecured loan with welcome last year, have never missed a payment, and have never had a threatening phone call or letter. The loan is expensive, but I knew it would be and I am prepared to pay it back. I was under no illusions of what I was getting myself into, and neither should anyone else be. You knew what you were borrowing, you knew what you would have to pay back. Stop moaning and trying to get out if it, face up to your responsibilities and manage your money like an adult. I await a slating.

well, i wont disapoint you and leave you waiting too long for the slating

 

What you say there is classic "youve borrowed it pay it back" nonsense.

 

what about the massive secret commission payments that go on behind the scenes, dont hear you screaming "welcome youve been dishonest you should pay back the secret commissions yove taken from people which inturn inflates the APR for the customer"

 

Quite frankly, these loan companies are NOT whiter than white , they know the Consumer Credit Act requirements, they know that if they fail to comply with the act the agreement automatically becomes unenforceable until the court orders otherwise and they know that in certain cases non compliance leaves them no way to recover their money

 

so i dont see where the consumer can be held at fault here??? or maybe your a welcome share holder whose a wee bit upset at the fact that they have not given a clear and accurate set of accounts??? i dont know but your view really is wide of the mark!!!!

OMG what a plonker, you are obviously some kind of proper berk arn't you mate...

 

The reason everyone on here is debating whether to pay what they agreed or not is because 80-90% of them are in the process of court action or very close largely because welcome finance has ignored every persons attempt to deal with this amicably outside court.

 

And it seems likely that 80-90% of people who are in the process of court action are going to get shafted on winding up...

 

...every one will stand in line upon winding up and guess who ranks last in pecking order us the consumer...

 

So why would every one keep to their agreements when it is widely acknowledged on the Cattles discussion board that they are stalling every one...

 

So, if welcome want paying then i suggest that they stick to their agreement as in accordance with the consumer credit act...

 

Jamie the mac...you've got a great future ahead of you...i predict great things...tee heee

Not really mate no...

 

I went to V.T my agreement (never missed a payment) and welcome tell me i owe £1700 for insurances i never knew i had. Here's the best part...

 

The insurances were valued at £1000 apparantly yet after 2 years of paying them off along with my agreement i owe £1700, how can that be fair dummy...

 

I talk to Welcome they dont want to know...

 

So frustrated i come on here, and everyone helps each other out...

 

If Welcome and there little cronies (car dealerships) had thrown straight dice and i could have v.t my agreement which is my legal right then there would be no trouble would they...dummy...

 

Now i'm that angry i will be looking to rescind the contract by virtue of secret commission (illegal) and get all my money back as a result of there under dealings...(legal)

 

Quite a fair proposition wouldn't you say jamie the mac aka THE DUMMY

Jamiethemac,

I read thru every post you have ever made before I replied to your initial post. You must acknowledge that welcome have be up to no good. Why would 6 directors be sacked and postings forced out? Everyone including shareholders, the current board and auditors acknowledge something serious has been happening at welcome over a long time. I can't wait to hear the full story when it comes out. You will have notice that the media as been restrained in their reporting.

 

Your very lucky that welcome has treated you fairly. What I got of welcome I have paid back and much more as well. I have asked welcome a number of questions over the last 18 months and they have failed to give me a proper answer. It is obvious from their letters that they are intent on delaying complaints and they couldn't even comply with my subject access request in the timeframe set down in law.

im thinking the night before the battles begins springs to mind...

 

cattles have until tommorrow 14/7/09 to sort out there 500million shortfall i led to believe...

 

remember these were adults running an adult lending company,who in turn made stupid adult mistakes which led to adults like us pointing out there adult mistakes!!!!

 

please dont tell us to grow up and act like adult...we are ...we do nothing underhand unlike some (welcome) adults we know...

 

cattles have ripped off there customers too long and now they are ripping off rich adult investers (bondholders)

 

they also ripped off over 25 banks which include royal bank of scotland which has been bailed out by non welcome customers..public funds..

 

so in short welcome have felt what the karma feels like

 

'what goes around , comes around'

 

bye bye welcome;-)
