    • 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.

Had a default placed on my account by these lovely people, had some hilarious letters sent back by them basically telling me to get lost.

 

S.A.R - (Subject Access Request) request sent yesterday, going to reclaim any charges and get the default off too. Should be relatively simple!

NatWest - WON! £3350 Paid back

Yeah i've been reading up on the wins with Capital One. I have no problems taking it to court, the default amount is only £300 odd, and was applied 4 years ago. Based upon that, and the fact most of it is made up charges i'm hoping they wont bother persuing a court case for such a small amount of money.

All statements and manual intervention recieved today (very promptly, and Special Delivery too!).

 

Charges only amount to £360, spanning a year but the point is it amounts to more than the default amount they placed on my credit file (hurrah!). Preliminary Request for Repayment to be sent first thing tomorrow.

Ok, the 8% you can ask for at the court stage, not in your preliminary letter. You will probably get a small offer of some charges back, but if you follow the procedures you should get all of your charges back. You will have to file with the court first though. It has been this way for over a year now.

Yeah i realised my error this morning, i've sent out the letter not inclusive of any interest charges, and i've stated this in my Preliminary letter. I will argue the Interest if/when it gets to a court stage, we're not talking a massive amount here though, roughly £30.

 

The main thing i'm looking to resolve is the outstanding default, which is less than the total accumilated charges.

Recieved a reply to my rejection letter!

 

Generic words to the effect of:

 

'Our offer stands, get lost sucker, here sign another form (which they didnt attach), this is my final letter, let's put this behind us so we can save the court's valuable time.'

 

Ellie Renshaw.

 

I find the last bit hilarious! Save the courts valuable time! How about you just pay me instead then!

 

I'm going to file an N1 soon (when funds allow as decorating comes first!). How much does is cost to file? Amount is only around £350...

 

I suppose the steps after filing will include, full offer, neglecting the default on my Credit File. They tell the court i've settled. I then disagree, they remove default, i go and buy my new tv?

Remember to mention clearly on your N1 that this is regarding a credit card account otherwise it gets stayed automatically until the OFT case.....i made this mistake and then had to send separate forms and charges requesting a lift on the stay...

When I handed mine in the clerk said they knew Crap One it weren't bank claims so there wouldn't be a problem, and there wasn't. To make sure, I put "......return of penalty charges levied to the claimants Crdit Card Account" in the Brief Details of Claim part on the first page of the N1. Suppose it depends what Court it is as well and how up on things they are. I filed at Walsall. Did the same on OH's Snatchwest claim and that hasn't been stayed either.

Thats what I did on mine, except I didn't have a self litigation fee (whatever that is). I put the part about the daily rate underneath the total that I'd put in the value part.

 

As you've already got a Capital One thread of your own best thing to do would be to post any questions on that.

Is it worth applying for CCA before i proceed to court?

 

I want to get a default removed, and feel this could come in useful for leverage.

UK and Doo (Ithink) is your best bets for this one, but as far as I know you should be able to get the default removed if the charges make up the most part of the default. The advice is to claim default and charges as the same claim.

Hi Andy

 

I would get a CCA anyway. I have a feeling you may have an Application form and not a fully executed agreement. Worth a look. If this is the case then let us know.
