    • I have had a secondary thought.  I borrowed £s from a completely separate entity 6y ago. It was personal and unsecured. I was going to repay upon sale of the property. But then repo and I couldn't.  Eventually they applied and got a charging order on the property.  Their lawyers wrote that if I didn't repay they may apply for an order for sale.  I'm not in control of the sale.  The lender won't agree to an order for sale.  The judge won't expedite it/ extract from trial.  Someone here on cag may or may not suggest I can apply for an order v the receiver?  But could I alternatively ask this separate entity with a c.o to carry out their threat and actually make an application to court for an order for sale v the receiver instead?
    • You left the PCN number showing, but no worries, I've redacted it. Euro Car parks are very well known to us.  I've just skimmed through the titles of the latest 100 cases we have with them (I gave up after 100) and, despite all their bluster and threats, in not one have they taken the Cagger to court. You stayed there for 2 hours &:45 minutes.  I'm guessing the limit is 2 hours and 30 minutes, right?  
    • If the claimant fails to draft directions the court can order a Case Management Hearing to set them but normally in Fast Track claims the claimant sets the directions...Unlike small claims track which are always set the court.
    • Not Evris offer, the court offers mediation service.   All claims proceed to hearing if mediation fails /not happen.   Why do you not wish to attend in person to stand your claim ?     Absolutely you must comply with the courts directions or your claim risks being struck out. Preparation for a hearing should happen irrespective of mediation.   https://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/topic/460613-suing-a-parcel-delivery-company-when-you-dont-have-a-direct-contract-with-them-–-third-party-rights-copy-of-judgment-available/#comment-5255007   Andy  
    • LPA.  (I'm fighting insolvency due to all the stuff that he and lender have done).  He appointed estate agents - (changed several times). Disclosure shows he was originally appointed for a specific reason (3m after repo) : using his powers as acting for leaseholder to serve notice on freeholders (to grab fh).  There was interest from 3 potential buyers. He chose one whose offer depended on a positive result of the notice.  Disc also shows he'd taken counsel advice - which was 'he'd fail'.  He'd simultaneously asked to resign as his job (of serving notice) was done and he'd found a buyer.  Lender asked him to stay on to assign notice to the buyer.  Notice failed, buyer didn't buy.  So receiver stayed.  There was 1 buyer who wanted to proceed w/o fh but receiver/ lender wasted 1y trying to get rid of them!  Disc shows why. But I didn't know why at the time. In later months Lender voiced getting rid of receiver. Various reasons - including cost.  But there's a contradiction/ irony: as I've seen an email (of 4y ago) which shows the receiver telling lender not to incur significant costs and to minimize receiver costs.    Yet lender then asked him to serve another notice - again counsel advice indicated 'he'd fail'.  And he did fail.  But wasted 3y trying and incurred huge legal costs - lender trying to pass on to me. Lender interfered - said wanted to do works.  Receiver should have said no.  But disc. shows he agreed to step aside to let them do the works - on proviso lender would discuss potential costs first (they didn't), works wouldn't take long (took 15m), and lender would hold interest (they didn't) (this last point is crucial for me now - as I need to know if I can argue that all interest beyond this point shouldnt be allowed?)   I need to check receiver witness statement in litigation with freeholders to see exactly what he said about 'his position'. But I remember it being along the lines of - 'if the works increased the value of the property he didn't have a problem'.  Lender/ receiver real problems started at this point. The cost of works and 4y passage of time has meant there is no real increase in value. Lender (or receiver) didn't get any permissions (statutory or fh) (and didn't tell me) and just bulldozed the property to an empty shell.  The freeholders served notice on me as leaseholder for breach of covenants (strict no alterations).  The Lender stepped in (acting for me) to issue notice for relief of forfeiture - not the receiver.  That wasted 2y of litigation (3y if inc the works) and incurred huge costs (both sides).  Lender's aim was to do the works that every potential buyer balked at due to the lease restrictions.  Lender and receiver knew couldn't do works w/o fh permission. Lender did them anyway; receiver allowed.  Receiver remained appointed.  I'm arguing lender interfered in receiver duties.  Receiver should have just sold property 4-5y ago w/o allowing any works.  Almost 3y since works finished the property remains unsold (>5y from repo). The property looks brand new - but it was great before.  The lender spent a ton of money - hoping that would facilitate a quick sale.  But the money they spent and the years they have wasted has meant they had to increase sale price.  It's now completely overpriced.  And - of course - the same issues that put buyers off (before works) still exist.   The receiver has tried for 2y to assert the works increased value. But he is relying on agents estimates - which have proved highly speculative. (Usual trick of an agent to give a high value to get the business - and then tell seller to reduce when no-one buys.). And of course lender continues to accrue interest (despite 4y ago receiver saying pause interest). Lender tried to persuade receiver to use specific agent. Disc shows this agent was best friends with the lender's main investor in the property.  Before works this agent had valued it low.  After works this agent suggested a value 70% higher!  The lender persuaded receiver to sack one agent and instead use this agent.  No offers. (Price way too high).   Research has uncovered that this main investor has since died.  I guess his investment is part of probate? And his family want it back?    Disc shows the sacked agent had actually received a high offer 1y ago.  Receiver rejected it.  (thus I don't know if the buyer would have ever proceeded). He was relying on the high speculative valuation the agents had given him to pitch for the business. The agents were in a catch-22.  The receiver sacked them. Disc shows there has been 0 interest ever since (inc via new agent requested by lender). I don't think lender or receiver want all this to come out in public domain via a trial.  It will ruin their reputations. If I can't get an order for sale with lender - can I apply separately against receiver?

    • 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, not sure what to do now, they refused to deal with me via email even though the pcn said I could email them so they rejected my appeal, I have now recieved a letter saying ' NOTICE TO KEEPER, DO NOT IGNORE THIS LETTER' what do I do now? do I write back and appeal again? This notice is very unclear as to what I should do? It says if I was not the driver and wish to challenge this pcn, then I have to write to them... I was the driver so what now? totally lost.....

Hi I did post last month when i first recieved this pcn, it said I could email them and so I did, but they then said they couldn't deal with it via email and I had to provide them with my postal address, I emailed them again with my evidence and asked why they hadn't answered my email and they wrote back saying because I had failed to provide them with a postal adress they had automatically rejected my appeal, I have now recieved a letter saying ' NOTICE TO KEEPER, DO NOT ignorelink3.gif THIS LETTER' what do I do now? do I write back and appeal again? This notice is very unclear as to what I should do? It says if I was not the driver and wish to challenge this pcn, then I have to write to them... I was the driver so what now? totally lost..... it also states under the heading Declaration of owner/driver that If I was not the owner of the vehicle stated herein etc etc Well where is the section saying If I was the driver and owner? that section doesn't exist?

What should I do as it says I have 28 days to now pay £100....

They have obtained your details from the DVLA.

 

As this is addressed to you as the registered keeper, then you appeal as such.

 

I would simply state that as the registered keeper you are not liable for this charge.

No loss has occurred to the land owner.

Go into the details if you wish.

Demand the charge to be cancelled, or a validation code for the independent appeals service POPLA be issued.

State that the appeal has been sent with proof of postage.

remind us of the date your vehicle was parked at the hotel and whether you got a ticket slapped on the windscreen or was it a CCTV type number plate capture. What was the date of your first letter from the parking co adn when did you get a rejection of your appeal.

All of these dates are critical as the parking co has to follow very strictly timetabled procedures and it is something they frequently get wrong.

If they are nit members of the BPA it may be difficult getting an appeal looked at properly but there again they have no rights to pursue you as the keeper of the vehicle either, only the driver could create a liability and thet is for them to prove.

So, post up a timeline of what you have from them.

  • 3 weeks later...

ok, so they sent me a letter saying NOTICE TO KEEPER DO NOT IGNORE THIS LETTER. I responded by writing back to them telling them that as I had already appealed via email that was all they would get from me and either accept or reject and send me a popla code. Well today i recieved their response, They state that they responded to my emails asking for my address as they cannot consider my appeal without it, as I had failed to give them my address the appeal was rejected and due to that failure, no popla code will be supplied, they also state that as my appeal is outside of the timescale my letter of appeal is not being considered and no popla code given?

So what do i do now? I responded the first time via email within 14 days as per the pnc which said i could appeal via email, I responded via post within 14 days of recieving their NOTICE TO KEEPER after they obtained my address from dvla..... so what now? i'm lost? help..... please.

Personally I'd ignore them, you've done your bit. Let them take you to court, they (PPC's in general) lose 99% of anything that goes near a court, though they'll swear black was white to have you believe otherwise.

 

They probably won't bother though, there are plenty of people out there that just roll over and pay up (unfortunately), so they'd much rather go after the easy money.

 

 

You could complain to the BPA I suppose, but as they are a bit of a toothless tiger, it's really not worth the effort.

 

 

The usual chain of events....

 

1. Notice to Keeper.

2. Notice to Keeper. Reminder.

3. Notice to Keeper. Final Demand or we pass this to our Debt Recovery robots.

4. Debt recovery letter. Pay up, we've added more fees but pay us anyway.

5. Debt recovery letter. Pay up, we've added even more fees because we've had to write to you again. (by this stage it will be about £150)

6. Debt recovery letter. We've recommended to our clients that they start legal proceedings.

7. A new company get in touch, saying that they've bought the debt and making you an offer to settle the account for between £75 and £99 depending on what sort of mood they're in.

8. They give up.

Please note that my posts are my opinion only and should not be taken as any kind of legal advice.
In fact, they're probably just waffling and can be quite safely and completely ignored as you wish.

You could write one more letter to NPE stating that as they are not allowing the registered keeper access to the Independent Appeals Service POPLA , then you consider the matter closed.

No further correspondence will be entered into.

 

Or do as above.

 

Either way, expect some empty threats from debt collectors...

 

NPE don't do court.

Sorry but this is bad advise.

 

The Op must write to appeal the ticket, once the appeal is automatically denied, the Op goes to POPLA who will cancel the ticket.

 

Others in the past have either got a CCJ needlessly or had an up coming Court case mentally distracting them.

Please read around the forums.

If you read abobe the appeal was made and has already ben denied on the basis of not giving his address and POPLA code refused as out of time

 

-----------------------------------------------------------

 

To OP. you now may find this scary but on the basis of POPLA code refused and appeal refused you now have two options

 

1) Pay up for a quiet but poorer life

 

2) Wait for court papers and stick it to the b******s

 

Now if you hold onto your nerve. its likely that all you will just get loads of demand letters for a while. Ignore.

 

If they are silly enough to want to take you to court then with a proper solid defense ( members here will help) you should easy win.

 

I personal would fight, but only you can make that choice

Well, that's as good a reason as any to read the whole thread then my friend. I'd not normally give that advice to anyone else, although I do it myself, but in the circumstances of having appealed (more than once) and had it rejected, and then the company refusing to issue a HOOPLA code, the OP has only two choices. Ignore it and see what happens, or pay up. And I'd never recommend the latter.

Please note that my posts are my opinion only and should not be taken as any kind of legal advice.

the company have continually fialed to follow the protocols of the PoFA and the guidelines of their Trade Associations. they will get a real spanking if they went to court over this so you will probably be in line for a couple of threatograms from the likes of Debt Recovery Plus, the PPC's favourite debt collector. They are always worth a laugh and can be ignored.
