    • I can only speak from personal experience. But a similar thing happened to me. Seriously dented door.  I made the other insurance pay. They regarded it as a write off. Took the money, replaced the door. Never heard anything more about it.    Except clearly someone sold my details to claims company, because I got loads of calls in bad English for a few month's 
    • The incident was 03rd March 2024 - and that was the only letter that I have received from MET 15th April 2024 The charge I paid was at the Stansted Airport exit gate (No real relevance now - I thought this charge was for that!!).   Here is the content of email to them (Yes I know I said I was the driver !!!!) as said above -  I thought this charge was for that!! "Stansted Airport" Dear “To whom it may concern” My name is ??  PCN:  ?? Veh Reg: Date of Incident: 03rd March 2024 I have just received a parking charge final reminder letter, dated 10th April 2024 - for an overstay.  This is the first to my knowledge of any overstay. I am aware that I am out of the 28 days, I don’t mean to be rude, this feels like it is a scam My movements on this day in question are, I pulled into what looked like a service station on my way to pick my daughter and family up from Stansted airport. The reason for me pulling into this area was to use a toilet, so I found Starbucks, and when into there, after the above, I then purchased a coffee. After which I then continued with my journey to pick my daughter up. (however after I sent this email I remember that Starbucks was closed so I then I walked over to Macdonalds) There was no signs about parking or any tickets machines to explains about the parking rules. Once at Stansted, I entered and then paid on exit.  So Im not show where I overstayed my welcome.. With gratitude    
    • Just to enlarge on Dave's great rundown of your case under Penalty. In the oft quoted case often seen on PCNs,  viz PE v Beavis while to Judges said there was a case for claiming that £100 was a penalty, this was overruled in this case because PE had a legitimate interest in keeping the car park free for other motorists which outweighed the penalty. Here there is no legitimate interest since the premises were closed. Therefore the charge is a penalty and the case should be thrown out for that reason alone.   The Appeals dept need informing about what and what isn't a valid PCN. Dummies. You should also mention that you were unable to pay by Iphone as there was no internet connection and there was a long  queue to pay on a very busy day . There was no facility for us to pay from the time of our arrival only the time from when we paid at the machine so we felt that was a bit of a scam since we were not parked until we paid. On top of that we had two children to load and unload in the car which should be taken into account since Consideration periods and Grace periods are minimum time. If you weren't the driver and PoFA isn't compliant you are off scot free since only the driver is liable and they are saying it was you.

    • 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

 

At the end of April, my last bad debt falls away from my credit rating

 

However i just got a letter from shoosmiths ( debt already gone from my credit report) saying that

 

'If we cannot agree during the next 14 days how you will repay the amount outstanding to Arrow Global limited, we will issue Court proceedings against you for the full sun outstanding together with legal costs. We will not contact you again to warn you that the proceedings will be issued.

 

They have been sending letters in bursts over the years but I've been ignoring them, this one seems like the end of the road.

 

- out standing sum is just under 10k

- i cant afford to pay or even offer a lump sum at the moment

- it's a loan taken out in 2006 and I remember signing the agreement with HSBC.

- I'm nearly 99.9 per cent sure i have made payments in the last 6 years

-I don't want to ruin my credit rating by another 6 years ccj :( -

 

Should i call them? If i ignore this letter how likely are they to issue Court proceedings?

 

I rather pay them 20 quid a month ( currently not working) then have a ccj

I think that they are extremely likely to issue court proceedings. In fact if you ignore it, they may feel that there will be an easy kill by getting a default judgement.

 

I think that the best thing you could do now is to respond with a statutory request for a CCA.

 

Also, do you think that you have had any late payment charges for any PPI related to this loan?

 

If you have made payments within the last six years then the debt certainly will not have expired by the end of April. There may be a long time to go yet.

 

We should probably deal with it. If it really is £10,000 and I can't imagine them accepting £20 a month. They may even wish to consolidate their position by obtaining a judgement against you and then agreeing a scheme of instalments afterwards..

Thanks for the prompt reply.

 

Debt is just under 9800. Loan was originally for 25k i think.

I don't think HSBC they added any excessive charges as i remember them being pretty understanding.

 

I don't have any assets and live with my parents. ( Marriage failed as i couldn't buy a house and in laws security etc blah blah)

What type of loan was this ?

 

Can you phone HSBC to find out last date of payment, as if statute barred, then it would be a massive help. If you don't try to find out, you may never know.

We could do with some help from you.

ask yourself why would a big multinational sell a debt of this magnitude and not take you to court themselves AND CRUSH YOU.

My mum used to make small payments on all my debts as i wasn't living at home but the post was going here. She eventually stopped when she ran out of money. Sad i know (I'm 36 now)

 

I'm 99.9.per cent sure because defaulted cards used to show payments in 2013 on my credit report before they fell off late last year.

 

How can i find out if I'm wrong?

not for you to prove

if they are stupid enough to issue a claimform

 

you'd be filing the SB defence [ no payment made by you in over 6yrs]

 

its then for THEM to prove these payments were made

or authorised in writing by YOU.

they weren't you never wrote or signed a letter to HSBC stating the fact

 

hence that other thread GO READ IT

So to spell it out, your saying

 

wait for them to file a claim for a CCJ, contest it on the basis they have no WRITTEN proof that the payments were made by me.

 

As far as i can see, none of the debt agencies ask for written confirmation so this rule could apply to anyone?

 

I'm assuming its a high risk approach apart from giving them a call, telling them my situation and setting up a monthly contribution?

 

i really dont want to do this with a CCJ hanging over me- another 6 years!

Nope

Go read that thread..

 

If if if they issue a claim

You would defend it by filing the SB defence

 

They'll never win as there is no signed authority by you allowing those payments

 

That's a very low risk to you

 

Please don't be stupid and ring nor pay them
