    • 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,

i took out an mbna card in around 2002 (unsure of exact year)

i was made redundant and ran up debts,

on returning to employment i started to pay them off for many years,

 

however the interest rates kept going up and eventually (aug 2012) i just stopped paying completely,

 

initially i intended to enter into a debt arrangement scheme but mental health issues and anxiety/stress meant i just started to ignore it!

I have ignored this situation for almost 5 years

 

Recently found out that after 5 years its unenforceable.

ive been praying that it would get to that point to relieve this stress

 

Balance is sitting at around £8.5k

I have always had PPI on this card

 

I phoned broadies on receipt of the letter to request a CCA which they said they'd send.

 

I have not received anything,

does anyone have any advice,

 

ive no idea what to do next?

im scared they dont send any on for

because it was done via phone,

 

should i email them?

 

just checked and my first month of not paying was august 2012, last recorded payment was july 2012

Are you in Scotland?

If so then yes it's SB after 5 years, otherwise its six years.

 

Is it these guys chasing? http://www.brodies.com/legal-services

 

First thing is to STOP discussing financial matters over the phone.

 

What did they send you?

 

You need to send them a CCA request in writing, not verbally.

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!

I know you are green so i'll fill you in till you take time to read around.

 

a DCA is NOT A BAILIFF

they have NO SUCH LEGAL POWERS

and broadies act for THEIR CLIENT and do as they say

only the OWNER of a debt can instigate court.

 

they [or more correctly the same printer the other PRA threat-o-grams came from]

simple click the differing letterhead to use because you are in Scotland and they use their fake/tame solicitors letter template for this end of the world

I've got a copy of my cca from Brodie's and a statement. Last payment was 18th July 2012 they have asked for a response of my position by 6th July 2017

"

Please see attached the copy of your agreement and the statements of account, as per your request.

 

Now that this has been provided it is important that you provide an update on your position by close of business 6th July 2017, as failure to do so may lead to further action being taken without prior notice.

 

Regards,"

 

Not sure how to attach cca docs

Sorry im over enthusiastic and panicky!!

 

worried they'll start a court claim on 6th which it won't be statute barred by then?

I didn't send an official cca request just emailed them

Asking for it.

 

 

should I send one on the 5th?

That way they won't be able to issue court proceedings till they've sent it will they?

Which would take me past the 18th?

Btw that was the whole document

Ha ha ha, excellent, these clowns are more nervous than you, this is why they are sending you rubbish application forms, and hoping you'll cough up!

 

There are no T&C's, it's an application form, means nowt. They're panicking.

Court letter today from Brodies - freaking out!

 

Phoned them to say it was statute barred and they said default wasn’t served till March 18 (correct) so it’s not

- I said according to Sse last payment was 18th July 2012 so statute barred.

 

They are “looking into it”and will phone me back!

 

Panicking massively

OK easy to do

Don't do anything without asking here FIRST!!

 

It's statute barred so won't go near a court

Let me go off and find a thread exactly the same that's here already that details everything.

 

Wait

Sorry I’m clearly a gibberish idiot cause I phoned them,

 

they said their position is it’s from the default date,

he then said “it’s at an early stage, would you be looking to settle?”

 

I said “well no cause I don’t agree with the debt”

 

he said they had details of my debt so had enough information to back to their claim

 

I said “it’s not just the total I don’t agree with, there’s other issues” and said “I’ll just contact the debt advisory service” and left the call. I promise faithfully o will not call them again
