    • I have received a PCN from Euro Car Parks for MFG - Esso Cobham - Gravesend. I was completely unaware that there was any such limit for parking and always considered this to be a service station. I stopped there to use the toilet, have a coffee and made a couple of work calls. I have read the previous topics on this location which suggest I can ignore this and ECP will not take legal action. The one possible complication is that the vehicle is leased by my employer so I do not want to involve them with the associated reminders and threatening letters. The PCN was first issued to the leasing company Arval who have notified ECP of the hiring company. I have attached a copy of the PCN Notice to Hirer with details removed as per instructions. What options do I have or should I just pay the PCN promptly at the reduced rate of £60? img20240424_23142631.pdf
    • What you have uploaded is a letter with daft empty threats from third-party paper tigers.  Just ignore it. What we need to see is the original invoice you received last October or November.
    • Thanks for posting the CPR contents. i do wish you hadn't blanked out the dates and times since at times they can be relevant . Can you please repost including times and dates. They say that they sent a copy of  the original  PCN that they sent to the Hirer  along with your hire agreement documents. Did you receive them and if so can you please upload the original PCN without erasing dates and times. If they did include  all the paperwork they said, then that PCN is pretty near compliant except for their error with the discount time. In the Act it isn't actually specified but to offer a discount for 14 days from the OFFENCE is a joke. the offence occurred probably a couple of months prior to you receiving your Notice to Hirer.  Also the words in parentheses n the Act have been missed off. Section 14 [5][c] (c)warn the hirer that if, after the period of 21 days beginning with the day after that on which the notice to hirer is given, the amount of unpaid parking charges referred to in the notice to keeper under paragraph 8(2)(f) or 9(2)(f) (as the case may be) has not been paid in full, the creditor will (if any applicable requirements are met) have the right to recover from the hirer so much of that amount as remains unpaid; Though it states "if any applicable ...." as opposed to "if all applicable......" in Section 8 or 9. Maybe the Site could explain what the difference between the two terms mean if there is a difference. Also on your claim form they keeper referring to you as the driver or the keeper.  You are the Hirer and only the Hirer is responsible for the charge EVEN IF THEY WEREN'T THE DRIVER. So they cannot pursue the driver and nowhere in the Hirer section of the Act is the hirer ever named as the keeper so NPC are pursuing the wrong person.

    • 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.

-IDEM Services replied that debt is unenforceable as they are unable to provide CCA paperwork,

but they refuse to release me from my financial obligations. (£2000)

 

This debt does show my on credit file, defaulted 09/2001

 

Not sure what to do here,

 

please any help info on next steps???

 

stop paying ?

 

wait for it to fall off credit file?

Without the CCA, then STOP paying.

 

What is the date of default on your CRF? Can't be 2001 else it would have dropped off in 2007, how come it is still on there??

 

You can withhold payment until/if they can magic up the CCA.

Who ever heard of someone getting a job at the Jobcentre? The unemployed are sent there as penance for their sins, not to help them find work!

no CCA no PAY

 

bugger off you fleecers

you cash cow has been removed from the milking parlour...

 

bottom line is you ignore any begging letters

from any DCA that owns any debt that they cant provide an enforceable agreement for.

 

the only thing you do not ignore

 

is any court claimform.

 

unti/if they do

 

enjoy your life and the extra money you now have available

 

shame you didn't find cag a few years ago.:lol:

Card was taken out in 2004

 

Debt shows on credit file twice under both MBNA & IMDEM looks like I have 2 defaults for same card,

but entries have the same details, not sure if this is correct /normal practice?

 

I Believe debt was sold on in 2012,

 

 

can't find letter at mo but sure there was another DCA before IDEM

Hi all,

 

Really require urgent response in case they come back.

 

Quick background:

 

CCA requested all debtors sorted all debts apart from one with IDEM.

 

 

They could not provide CCA,

continued to chase debt £1400 and have sent loads of letters,

which I have ignored with guidance from this site.

 

 

Last week received a letter from Fidelity stating they have been instructed to collect debt on behalf of IDEM.

If I didn't response, they may visit home.

Thought this was their latest scare mongering statics,

 

 

couldn't believe it today when someone actually turned up!

I understand my rights and theirs (they haven't got any)

Fortunately at time of home visit I was out and my husband dealt with them (said nothing).

 

- My question is

what shall I say or do if they appear again ?

Do i have to engage them ?

say nothing ?

can they keep returning ?

can I report them ?

Best to ignore them. If they have not dealt with your CCA request, then the debt is not going anywhere. If they want to proceed to enforce the debt, they need to supply the CCA.

 

If they turn up again, just advise that you have made a statutory request under the Consumer Credit Act and they have failed to comply with this. As such, you will not be communicating with them until they have complied with your request. Advise if they return again, a complaint wiill be made of harassment.

We could do with some help from you.

Fisrt and foremost as you're aware of your rights, and the fact that these clowns have absolutely none, if the doorstep beggar returns to try and get their little bit of commission, IMO film them, and say nothing, except to tell them to get off your property or you will call the police and have them removed.

 

If they ignore you, then give the police a ring 101, and report that there is a stranger on your property who will not leave when told to do so, and you believe they will cause a breach of the peace.

 

I've never understood why they use these 80's style intimidation tactics, who in their right mind is going to discuss anything with an unsolicited doorstep caller, least of all anything of a financial nature?

Who ever heard of someone getting a job at the Jobcentre? The unemployed are sent there as penance for their sins, not to help them find work!

Debt defaulted 23/10/10 so guess it will drop off credit file this October,

although I'm sure these clowns will try a few more tricks yet.

 

 

I have not made a payment since I closed my StepChange plan 6 months ago with the help from this forum

(I am no longer a cash cow)

 

I will keep everyone posted as to if they return and what happens.

Hi All,

 

Thought everything was finally sorted !

 

End of November Cabot wrote to say they had purchased debt from IDEM.

 

IDEM could not provide CCA, therefore stopped payments and they stop chasing. Debt has now fallen of my credit file:smile:

 

Searched forum not sure if I need to CCA Cabot for same debt ? Surely not ?

 

They call 3-5 times a day. I haven't answered. How can I tell them where to go?

 

many thanks

when they phone (assuming you know it is them beforehand) just scream down the phone at the top of your voice for a couple of seconds then put the phone down. Another one is to accpet the call but just leave the phone alone and get on with something else. Cold callers love to listen to your radio whilst you get on with the ironing
