    • 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.

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.

hi all,

 

having just had another "local representative" letter the other day, I sent this to our chums this morning:

 

1) Offer In Full and Final Settlement

 

In response to your letter of ** July 2007 I sent a written offer of £150 to settle the account in full and final settlement. I subsequently received your letter of 31 July 2007 inviting me to make an offer in full and final settlement of the account. I then phoned your office and learnt that you had declined my offer of £150, but was told that you would accept £400; I asked you put that in writing, which you did in your letter of August 2007. Unfortunately this letter makes it clear that you do not regard this sum as full and final settlement and this was confirmed in our telephone conversation of August 2007.

 

I am unable to make any such payment to you until I have your written assurance that this would be full and final settlement of the account.

 

2) Communication

 

Your letter of July 2007 is misguided in suggesting that I have failed to reply to your letters. A look at my file will show that there is a regular and prompt response. I can assure you that I shall always respond to your letters.

 

However since the conclusions of our phone calls do not correspond to what you subsequently put in writing, I see no purpose in communication by telephone. The fact that you use an exorbitant 0870 telephone number also discourages me from calling you. For these reasons, I trust that all future communications will be by letter.

 

 

 

3) Local Representative

 

I note from your correspondence that your local Representative has called at my home on several occasions. This is entirely unnecessary since you are well aware of my position from my letters and our telephone conversations. As there is no conceivable role (other than intimidation) which your local representative can fulfil by calling at my home, I would regard any further such visit as harassment and I will not hesitate to seek a County Court Order to prevent this.

 

Please send me the name, address and local phone number of your local Representative. I can then contact him to arrange a mutually convenient meeting place if you give me advanced notification of any aspects which you wish me to discuss with him.

 

4) Bank Charges

 

You are fully aware of my dispute regarding the £300 of bank charges added to my account by Barclaycard. The legality of these charges is now being considered in the High Court. Until this point reaches a final ruling, I suggest that we place this amount of £300 “on-hold”.

 

5) Capital Repayment

 

Since you have reneged on our agreement to settle this debt once and for all, I propose to recommence making monthly payments to you. Due to recent increases in rent I am able to pay £10 per month.

 

6) Please confirm the following:

 

1) That you will not accept £400 in full and final settlement.

2) You will not send any local Representative(s) to visit me at home.

3) You will put the £300 of bank charges on hold.

4) You will accept £10 per month as capital repayment as per our previous agreement.

 

 

Yours Sincerely,

Can anyone advise me of how to get my repayments down to £1 per week???

 

best wishes

You need to start your own thread on this.

 

What type of debt is it?

 

HAVE YOU cca'D THESE ****?

 

 

hi clutchingatstraws,

 

did try to set my own thread, but have not worked it out yet - but will keep trying!

 

re my account, it was from an old sharkleycard credit card, was alot younger and stupid back then and run up a £3500 debt which never got paid, it was passed to RMA and I didn't pay them either so ended up with you know who...

 

Up untill bank charges issue came up, I had been paying of at £50 pm and balance is now £1500, but this balance is in dispute as £300 of the money owed is bank charges. I guess I could just go after Barclays for the charges to be refunded but I enjoy irritating RWC so have gone after them for the charges to be removed from the total debt.

 

I'll be honest and admit I don't know quite as much about this sort of thing as some others on the site and do not really know what the score is in my situation. I just want rid of the debt for good as it the last debt I have! But would be delighted if I could find a way of not paying at all?

 

any advice greatly appreciated?!

 

kind regards

 

Edd

You need to CCA Robbers Way... I will go and get the link in a mo.

 

It costs £1.... send it by PO.... and don't sign it; type/print a signature on the bottom. Send it by rec. delivery... keep the receipt.

 

If they do not produce it within 12 working days from receipt, then you can legally withhold all further paynents until they can produce it and have it re-enforced in court. If they continue to pursue you one calendar month after this deadline... then they are in criminal default and should be reported to Trading Standards.

Can you explain why it should go unsigned?

 

thx again - have you "knocked them"?

 

 

Unsigned... just in case they haven't got a CCA... but decide to scan your sig. onto one. I haven't experienced this myself, but have read that others have suspected it of going on.

 

I have "knocked them" in the sense that 2 of mine have not had a CCA... therefore payments were stopped around 7 months ago. Others on here have had similar success. I am hoping for similar success with the rest... all in good time though.

hi all,

 

Re CCA's - this how I am interpretating things, if they cannot provide a copy of your CCA after 12 days you may lawfully cease payments on the account and subsequently reclaim all monies paid to RWC as they cannot prove the debt exists?

 

However, in my case where I have been sent copies of the credit card statements as was looking to have the charges refunded, do these statements alone prove i have had/spent the money and therefore are enough proof of the debt?

 

thanks

You can cease any further payments, but re-claiming would require you to go to court, where they would more than likely claim that payments were made voluntarily... and land you with a bill for costs.

 

However, in my case where I have been sent copies of the credit card statements as was looking to have the charges refunded, do these statements alone prove i have had/spent the money and therefore are enough proof of the debt?

 

They would need the CCA to re-enforce it in court... and that is the point. If they haven't got it, then there's nothing to re-enforce.

 

thanks

thanks again PriorityOne

 

i think they can provide a copy, some months ago (when I was less aware of my options!) RWC sent a dodgy looking photocopy of my credit agreement signiture, I did know what to make of it as I had not requested it, i was sure i had kept it but alas have been unable to find it (turned the place upside down!) so althought i will write asking for a copy, I suspect they can provide it.

This may not be a Credit Agreement though.... a lot of DCAs try to fob you off with Application Forms, in the hope that you will think they're enforceable. If you get something back, let us know.

However... when creditors, etc. show no morality with the application of unlawful charges, incorrect/missing paperwork and so on, then they shouldn't expect any morality from us when circumstances turn around and slap them in the face.... IMO.

I totally agree with you and have just posted about my experiences in another thread.

How can I put this....

Follow the advice given and if at the end of it you get a "we will take no further action" letter then you have a result.

Just don't say things like "I don't want to pay my debts, should I CCA them?".

Damnit it's gone off topic now. This isn't why I was going to post.

Not to blow my own trumpet but my thread could maybe use a sticky?

I've had quite good feedback about it.

Anyway hope THIS helps Edd.

thanks NitrousOxide

Re non payment, I have paid off several thousands of pounds over the last few years or so without any complaint from me, however when it comes to this particular bunch of cowboys - they can F**K RIGHT O*F !!!

 

thx again

Hi PriorityOne,

Do you know if any of these appear on your credit score?

HI Everyone,

 

Quick update on our pals at Quays Reach in case anyone experiencing similar issues with them?

 

A few months ago they sent (unrequested) a very dodgy looking copy of my initial credit card application form for sharkleycard from 2002, it is my belief this was sent to put me off asking for a copy of my CCA. It was sent in a hand writen envelope 2nd class (natually), there was an undated comp slip attached saying "please find enclosed a copy of your signed agreement"

 

I have not requested my CCA yet but will be writing the letter this eve, I wonder if they will be able to accomodate my request?

 

I took the opportunity to visit my local Trading Standards Dept this afternoon to deliver my complaint about RWC reneging on thier agreements of payments / F&F S, and sending round "Local Representatives" to my home whilst they had been fully informed of my situation. RWC have been copied in.

 

Thats all for now

 

Best Regards

  • 2 months later...

hi everyone,

 

here are the latest developments:

 

as above made a complaint about "local representatives" having called at my home whilst acc was on hold to trading standards, oft, local council & fso , oft have written to me asking for my permision to forward my complaint/personal details to rwc so they can begin licensing action against them, they will only take action if i agree.

 

has anyone else rec'd a similar request from oft? the more complaints they recieve the better the chances of having thier licence revoked!

 

they state "it is unlikley that a licence would be revoked on the strenght of one complaint." but they also state "where we have strong evidence that unfair business practices have occured, we may take steps to revoke or refuse the licence of the business in question" "however if we are to do this we need to take into account factors such as the number of complaints recieved, how recent they are and how well evidenced."

 

if anyone has any documented evidence, please forward a complaint to oft !

 

 

Kind Regards,

 

DownEm
