    • it is NOT A FINE.....this is an extremely important point to understand no-one bar a magistrate in a magistrates criminal court can ever fine anyone for anything. Private Parking Tickets (speculative invoices) are NOT a criminal matter, merely a speculative contractual Civil matter hence they can only try a speculative monetary claim via the civil county court system (which is no more a legal powers matter than what any member of Joe Public can do). Until/unless they do raise a county court claim a CCJ and win, there are not ANY enforcement powers they can undertake other than using a DCA, whom are legally powerless and are not BAILIFFS. Penalty Charge Notices issued by local authorities etc were decriminalised years ago - meaning they no longer can progress a claim to the magistrates court to enforce, but go directly to legal enforcement via a real BAILIFF themselves. 10'000 of people waste £m's paying private parking companies because they think they are FINES...and the media do not help either. the more people read the above the less income this shark industry get. where your post said fine it now says charge .............. please fill out the Q&A ASAP. dx  
    • Well done on reading the other threads. If ECP haven't got the guts to do court then there is no reason to pay them. From other threads there is a 35-minute free stay after which you need to pay, with the signs hidden where no-one will read them.  Which probably explains why ECP threaten this & threaten that, but in the end daren't do court. As for your employer - well you can out yourself as the driver to ECP so the hamster bedding will arrive at yours.  Get your employer to do that using the e-mail address under Appeals and Transfer Of Liability.  
    • good you are getting there. Lloyds/TSb...i certainly would not be risking possible off-setting going on if a choice were there, but in all honestly thats obv too late now..., however..you might not never be in that situation so dont worry too much. regardless to being defaulted or not, if any debt that is not paid/used in 6yrs it becomes statute barred. you need to understand a couple of things like 'default' and 'default notice' a default is simply a recorded D in the calendar section/history of a debt, it does not really mean anything. might slightly hit your rating. the important thing here is a default notice , these are issued by the original creditor (OC) under the consumer credit act, it gives you 14 days to settle whatever they are asking, if you don't then they have the option to register a defaulted date on your credit file. that can make getting other credit more difficult. and hits your rating. once that happens, not matter what you do after that, paying it or not or not paid off or not, the whole account vanishes from your credit file on the DN's 6th b'day. though that might not necessarily mean the debt is not still owed - thats down to the SB date above. an OC very rarely does court and only the OWNER of a debt can instigate any court action (Attempted a CCJ) DCA's debt collection agencies - DCA's are NOT BAILIFFS they have ZERO legal powers on ANY debt - no matter what it's TYPE. an OC make pass a debt to a dca as their client to try and spoof people into paying through legal ignorance of the above statement. an OC may SELL on an old debt to a DCA/debt buyer (approx 10p=£1) and then claim their losses through tax write off and their business insurance, wiping their hands of the debt. the DCA then becomes the debt OWNER. since the late 70's dca's pull all kinds of 'stunts' through threat-o-grams to spoof a debtor into paying them the full value of the debt, when they bought if for a discounted sum (typically 10p=£1). you never pay a dca a penny! if read carefully, NONE of their letters nor those of any other 'trading names' they spoof themselves under making it seem it's going up some kind of legitimate legal 'chain' say WILL anything....just carefully worded letters with all kinds of threats of what could/might/poss happen with other such words as instruct forward pass... well my dog does not sit when instructed too...so... DCA's SOMETIMES will issue a court claim, but in all honesty its simply a speculative claim hoping mugs wet themselves and cough up...oh im going to court... BIG DEAL DCA - show me the enforceable paperwork signed by me...9/10 they dont have it and if your defence is conducted properly, most run away from you . however before they do all that they now have to send a letter of claim, cause the courts got fed up with them issuing +750'000PA speculative claims and jamming up the legal system. so bottom line is two conclusions.... if you cant pay a debt, get a DN issued ASAP (stop paying it!) make sure it gets registered on your file then it stops hurting your file/future credit in 6yrs regardless to what happens (bar of course a later DCA CCJ - fat chance mind!)  once you've a registered DN , then look into restarting payments if the debt is still owed by the OC, if SOLD to a DCA, don't pay - see if they issue a letter of claim (then comeback here!).

    • 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 hope you can help me please with my new quest.

 

I am in the process of rebuilding my credit report after being really really stupid in the past but all is well now, just got 2 defaults and they will be off next year. YEY!

 

Anyway I have been taking out small payday loans from PDUK after reading this on there website,

https://www.paydayuk.co.uk/payday-loans/rebuild-your-credit-with-paydayuk.php

 

It states that they may help rebuild/improve credit files if they are paid back on time.

 

I have taken about 15 PDUK loans out all for about £50 and then paying them off in full, or maybe deferring a month and paying interest and most of the £50 being sensible.

 

Trouble is when I checked my credit file and spoke with Credit Expert/Experian they have told me that payday loans are so so bad for your credit file even if you pay them off in full and on time. They told me that they are only open a month and you build no history (I was told that lenders like to see well managed accounts over a period of 6 to 12 months).

 

So my question is, is this advert misleading and is there anything I can do about it?

 

I have referred this to the FOS and the advertising standards authority yesterday 20/04/12. Can you think who else to send my complaint to?

 

I feel I have paid excessive interest under the belief they were helping only to find out its a load of rubbish!

 

Any advice would be greatly appreciated and lets see these scumbags disappear!

The advert is misleading. Pdls say that it MAY help rebuild, knowing full well it never will. Credit status is built on mid-long term standing. Not a loan you have for 4 weeks that isn't even regulated.

 

Experian rightly informed you, and they know infinitley more than anyone who works for the pdl's. You also need to get a complaint into the OFT as well and let them know you were mislead into taking the loan out.

Any advice i give is my own and is based solely on personal experience. If in any doubt about a situation , please contact a certified legal representative or debt counsellor..

Thanks renegadeimp for your help, will write up the letters tonight and have them sent first class recorded.

My only problem is that experian are happy to give me this advice freely over the phone but won't give me anything in writing. Any ideas?

 

As an end result I would like these loans taken off my credit file, they are all settled in full and on time so no issues regarding removing bad information.

 

How would you guys suggest I go about this to give me the best chance.

Which details exactly? The only things you need to know is that for the FOS to start an investigation on your behalf, you need to have exhausted the creditors own complaints system, hence the reason for a FINAL RESPONSE letter.

 

Once they have proof of this, they will start an investigation. Thats in its simplest form. However, you get much more credibility if you can back everything up in writing about the complaint, and also inform the OFT, OFCOM ( if you get harassing or abusive calls) and possibly trading standards. Even the ASA is getting involved due to multiple PDL's saying that taking out a payday loan can get your credit rating higher, which is just not possible.

Any advice i give is my own and is based solely on personal experience. If in any doubt about a situation , please contact a certified legal representative or debt counsellor..

Ahh. I dont have the name for him/her, but its easy enough to write and ask for a copy of their complaints procedure. They have to give the name then.

Thank you for all your replies, you have all helped so much!!

 

My plan of action is to send a complaint off to pduk regarding what is I'm my option false advertising that there loans may help build credit files and that I only took them out under the impression that they would help m and that due to this misleading advertising I would like them to remove all entries from my credit file.

I will inform them that I have also informed the fos and they will be hearing from them shortly.

 

I will also send complaints of miss advertising including print out from there website to the financial services authority, trading standards, consumer direct, oft and ofcom.

 

Sound about right?

Hi James,I have read with great interest your battle with paydayuk or MEN consumer finance. I wondered if you could update me with how you letter/s requesting removal of all entries on your credit fie was resolved?I too have been scammed into thinking applying with them would improve my credit report - this had an awful affect on my rating so much so I was refused a mortgage because these were on my file.I would be so grateful if you could let me know and hopefully offer me some hope!Many thanks,Niall

Hi NCP, sadly for me nothing happened. I tried all avenues including the Ombudsman, trading standards and the advertising standards authority but they all came back stating they PDUK had done nothing wrong as the wording had been wrote in a way that suggested it will improve your credit report but doesn't actually say there loans will improve your credit report if that makes sense. I have since wrote to PDUK asking where they got the evidence from which allows them to make the claims they make and I just get a snotty letter back revering to the Ombudsman's decision and that they will not discuss it further. Im not sure if anything can be done to be honest, if you have any ideas please share them as I would love to get these wiped. James

James, do you still need these removed. I have copies and screen shots of their site stating the following "This will help your credit rating" this information was on their website from mid 2009-early 2012. I'm currently using this information coupled with irresponsible lending .

Hi RossW

 

I could really do with these screenshots you have if you wouldn't mind sending them?

 

I have tried PM'ing you, but you have that option switched off

 

Could you let me know if you can sort this for me?

 

Cheers!
