    • His financial situation isn’t great, and the landlord has made lots of things up. The things he’s put isn’t true at all. My friend did tell the full truth with incoming and outgoing, I helped him fill in his form and he checked bills etc. to make sure it was right. His wage is ok, but not as good as the landlord thinks it is,  and he doesn’t have anything spare. How much are they likely to take from him? Should he send any reply?  the letter just says to take the court letter with him. 
    • Hi welcome to the Forum.  If a PCN is sent out late ie after the 12th day of the alleged offence, the charge cannot then be transferred from the driver to the keeper.T he PCN is deemed to have arrived two days after dispatch so in your case, unless you can prove that Nexus sent the PCN several days after they claim you have very little chance of winning that argument. All is not lost since the majority of PCNs sent out are very poorly worded so that yet again the keeper is not liable to pay the charge, only the driver is now liable. If you post up the PCN, front and back we will be able to confirm whether it is compliant or not. Even if it is ok, there are lots of other reasons why it is not necessary to pay those rogues. 
    • Hi 1 Date of the infringement  arr 28/03/24 21:00, dep 29/03/24 01.27 2 Date on the NTK  08/04/2024 (Date of Issue) 3 Date received Monday 15/04/24 4 Does the NTK mention schedule 4 of The Protections of Freedoms Act 2012?  Yes 5 Is there any photographic evidence of the event? Yes 6 Have you appealed? [Y/N?] post up your appeal] No  7 Who is the parking company? GroupNexus 8. Where exactly [carpark name and town] Petrol Station Roadchef Tibshelf South DE55 5T 'operating in accordance with the BPA's Code of Practice' I received a Parking Charge letter to keeper on Monday 15/04/24, the 17th day after the alleged incident. My understanding is that this is outside the window for notifying. The issue date was 08/04/2024 which should have been in good time for it to have arrived within the notice period but in fact it actually arrived at lunchtime on the 15th. Do I have to prove when it arrived  (and if so how can I do that?) or is the onus on them to prove it was delivered in time? All I can find is that delivery is assumed to be on the second working day after issue which would have been Weds 10//04/24 but it was actually delivered 5 days later than that (thank you Royal Mail!). My husband was present when it arrived - is a family member witness considered sufficient proof?
    • lookinforinfo - many thanks for your reply. It would be very interesting to get the letter of discontinuance. The court receptionist said that the county court was in Gloucester 'today' so that makes me think that some days it is in Gloucester and some days its in Cheltenham, it was maybe changed by the courts and i was never informed, who knows if DCBL were or not. My costs were a gallon of petrol and £3.40 for parking. I certainly don't want to end up in court again that's for sure but never say never lol. Its utterly disgusting the way these crooks can legally treat motorists but that's the uk for you. I'm originally from Scotland so it's good that they are not enforceable there but they certainly still try to get money out of you. I have to admit i have lost count of the pcn's i have received in the last 2 yr and 4 months since coming to England for work, most of them stop bothering you on their own eventually, it was just this one that they took it all the way. Like i mentioned in my WS the the likes of Aldi and other companies can get them cancelled but Mcdonalds refused to help me despite me being a very good customer.   brassednecked - many thanks   honeybee - many thanks   nicky boy - many thanks

    • 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

 

I sent a CCA request by Recorded Delivery to Cabot Financial(Europe) on 9th June 2007 which they signed for on 11 June 2007 and wrote back on 13/6/07 advising they had the rights but not the duties etc and that they had contacted Citi Financial which would take 21 days/ 8weeks and also returned my cheque as they were not the creditor.

 

I then sent a CCA request to Kings Hill no.1 on 19th June 2007 which they signed for on 20th June 2007.

 

I also sent a CCA request to Cabot Financial (UK) on 19th June also which they signed for on 20th June 2007.

 

I then received a letter from Cabot Financial (Europe) dated 22nd June advising rights not duties etc and returned my cheque as they were not the creditor and they also stated they did not have to supply a true copy of the executed agreement as that was only relevant to the creditor. They also promised to arrange for a copy of the notice of assignment to be forwarded to me and went on to say their letter constituted written notice of the assignment under section25 LOP and they did not need to provide a copy of the assignment deed itself.

 

Accordingly, as no CCA supplied i stopped instalments as per timescales of 12+2 then 30 days.

 

Heard nothing since June until today when received letter attached.

 

Can anyone advise what to do next?

 

Should i report to FOS or CCA The Associates (OC)?

Any help much appreciated.

PS the debt outstanding was approx £4,500 Jan this year as confirmed by letter in Jan from them.

The letter today, Balance owing has increased to £8,600.00 plus.

Yup. Write back to them that you have no intention of recommencing repayments until such time as they can prove they have any entitlement to any alleged debt. Remind them that you do not acknowledge any debt to them, and they are to consider the account in dispute.

 

Also tell them that, as they have not complied with your request for a copy of the original agreement, you are now making a formal complaint. Their procedures are here...

 

Cabot Financial (Europe) Limited Complaints Procedure

 

After you have exhausted that, you can report them to the FOS.

 

Have you SAR'd them?

Volvo - Uou are getting good advice from Seahorse - you do need to chase this CCA to actually prove whether an enforceable agreement exists etc..

 

What Cabots are saying is irrelevant with the "rights and duties" argument until the CCA has been proven one way or the other.

 

ICO might be able to help you chase this if you complain for non compliance etc.. and that Cabots are unlawfully sharing your data with 3rd parties with an erroneous figure etc.. (with this I am thinking that there will be unlawful charges involved etc.. = figures they are using are wrong? Cabots are probably still adding interest - the SAR will show this up)

 

The other way to do this is to issue an N1 claim against Cabots for the paperwork you are asking for etc.. - you'd be asking court to order Cabots to comply and prove their documents etc.. you'd need to ask for all of the documents you'd be likely to need at the outset in the order that you want them and a strategy for working through this with court etc..

 

I feel bothered that Cabots do seem to be trying to cloud issues and skipping over the CCA and confusing people with the LoP rights and duties etc.. - my advice to anyone is pull the argument back and stick to the CCA until it has been proven - THEN move on with remainder of the issues involved. Don't let any company skip over the CCA.

Hi volvo

 

I am having a similar problem with Cabot Financial in relation to a Providian Card. They have registered incorrect information against my name and are refusing to remove it and I paid them off over 2 years ago. They credit reference agencies are useless especially Experian.

 

You need to contact the information commissioner and also the if the account defaulted in 2000 6 years has passed it should no longer be on your credit file and you could in theory ignore Cabot.

Hi Rory & all

 

Fianlly resbmitted Cabot response to My Formal Complaint regarding Cabot non compliance with my CCA request regarding old Associates credit card.

Cabot say they have purchaed the debt but appear not to be the creditor for CCA 1974.

Well they have truely shot themselves in the foot with that one.

As you know no CCA = No Enforceable debt.

Keep that letter safe, as it maybe needed.

 

Now what to send back, other than feck off idiots.

Try this, edit as needed:

 

Dear Sir/Madam,

I refer to my recent correspondence with your company concerning this alleged debt, copies of which are enclosed for your perusal and ease of reference.

As **DCA** have failed to comply with my Consumer Credit Act request and admitted that the alleged signed executed agreement is unavailable enforcement action is impossible under section 127 (3) of the Act.

 

The Consumer Credit Act allows 12 working days for this request to be carried out before your company enter into a default situation. If the request is not satisfied after a further 30 calendar days, Your company commit an offence. These time limits expired on XXXXXXXX and XXXXXXXX respectively.

 

As you are no doubt aware subsection (6) states:

 

If the creditor under an agreement fails to comply with subsection (1)—

 

(a) He is not entitled, while the default continues, to enforce the agreement; and

(b) If the default continues for one month he commits an offence.

 

Therefore as at XXXXXXXX this account became unenforceable at law and it is now my intention to refer this matter to the enforcement authorities.

 

If **DCA** chooses to ignore my dispute and attempt enforcement, I will initiate legal action and file reports with the appropriate authorities, including, but not limited to, Trading Standards, Office of Fair Trading, Information Commissioners Office, Financial Ombudsman Service and possible court action.

 

It is also my belief that your continued pursuance of this matter also constitutes an

offence under Section 40 of the Administration of Justice Act 1970.

 

Failure to respond favourably to this letter within seven (7) days of receipt will result in immediate litigation being commenced against your company without further notice.

I also require a copy of your internal complaints procedure as further action may be necessary.

 

I would appreciate your due diligence in this matter.

 

I look forward to hearing from you in writing.

 

Yours Faithfully

Be VERY careful whose advice you listen too

I'll get the links removed volvo. As Ben says no agreement = no enforceable debt so I wouldn't worry about things like interest being applied or as Cabot say contractual interest, even though they admit there isn't a contract.

Update

 

As expected the FOS wrote to me in OCT 2008 advising that they would not uphold my non-CCA compliance complaint against Cabot.

 

Recived attached letter from Cabot in the last couple of days.

 

IMG-5.jpg

 

However, i do have a letter dated Oct2007 from Cabot advising that Cabot are unable to provide a copy CCA agreement as due to the long time elapsed that the OC, ie: The Associates no longer hold this information.

 

Am i correct, that if Cabot are still in default of my original CCA request dated 9th June 2007 then they should not be undertaking any collection activity whatsoever, such as their attached letter.

 

Anyone got idea of a suitable reply to them??
