    • 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.

    • Doubt the uneconomic write off would be registered, unless you agreed to accept write off settlement of the claim. It is just cosmetic damage. All that has happened, is that the car has been looked at and they realised the repair costs are going to exceed the value of the car. If the car is perfectly driveable with no upcoming normal work required to pass next MOT, your current Insurers will continue Insurance and you can accept an amount from third party Insurers to go towards you repairing the scratched bodywork.

    • 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 have received a letter re: possession order from Drydensfairfax today (not unexpected) for arrears of £3258.

 

The letter states that the order will become enforceable on 9/10/17 and that a money judgement for £92982 was also obtained.

 

The letter asks that I clear the arrears in full prior to this date

. If I am unable to clear the arrears, to forward proposals for clearance of the same within the next 7 days.

(I have no way of clearing these arrears).

 

Once the enforcement date had expired they will apply to the court for the issue of a Warrant of Possession.

 

The only way that action will be cancelled is on clearance of the arrears in full.

 

Should it be necessary to apply for enforcement,

you will be notified of the time and date of eviction direct from the court.

 

what happens next and what can I do to stop this.

 

Mortgage payments £550,

have recently been paying £600 with an additional £50 per week.

I cant afford any more than this.

 

Forgot to add that we have previously been in arrears, around 2 years ago, but borrowed money from family to clear it, which we are still paying back.

 

Cant go down this route again

No, you're home isn't automatically gone - if you don't pay the arrears by 9th October the lender can apply for an eviction order however you can still apply to the court to have it stopped.

 

The first thing you need to do is write to Kensington making an offer of monthly payments to clear the arrears. If you have been paying an extra £100 per month plus £50 per week that seems an awful lot to me for arrears of just over 3,000. How much extra per month can you realistically afford?

I cant speak to them, tried that in the past

 

DX, i reckon they owe me thousands in arrears fees

 

Ell-enn, tbh this is really stretching us, like I said before we have been in arrears in the past and have borrowed money off family to stop action for which I am paying back 100.00 per month.

 

 

We could probaby afford realistically 600.00, we just felt pressured into the extra 50 per week.

You don't need to speak to them, you write to them, that way if you do have to go to court you can show the judge you have tried to come to an arrangement with them but they haven't played ball - that will work in your favour.

 

I am away until Wednesday but I can draft a letter for you when I get back if you like ?

If they don't respond to your offer then you will have to apply to the court for a hearing in front of a judge to get your payment offer accepted. We can help you with all the paperwork for that. It's a shame that you didn't go to the possession hearing, the judge would almost certainly have accepted your offer and Kensington would have had to accept that decision. If you had found us before the hearing we would have been able to assist with your defence, but at least you found us now :)

 

I will pick this up on Wednesday when I'm back.

You may not have to, but if you do - it's nothing like what you'd think - not a courtroom like you see on TV etc, this is a civil court. The judge sits in a room at a table and you sit in front of him and he will read your defence ask a few questions and make his decision - 10 minutes max. We would guide you through it so try not to worry too much, judges won't take people's homes away if they can see you're able to pay.Y

 

You're right, fight to keep the roof over your head first and then we can deal with charges etc.

but you are not terrified of being on the street with their outrageous charges added to the sale.

 

Get the SAR off, they have 40 days to provide the info.

In the meanwhile make the offer of additional payments and try and work out what fees have been added that you know of.

 

They arent allowed to add interest to a fee as it is not part of the loan.

Once they know that you know this the liklihood of a successful possession order is much reduced.

 

When you know the exact amount of all the unlawful fees and interest applied to your account that will most likely clear the arrears and knock a bit off the capital as well.

 

Court is really nothing to be afraid of if you have done some homework.

 

Doing nothing isnt an answer to any problem though

 

I am really worried that I will be homeless :-(

 

I am terrified to be going to court

Thank you Eric, I have an interest only mortgage, so nothing will come off the capital? I will get the letter off tomorrow :)

 

I hate this company so much..

a few years ago we had compensation from the local authority for double glazing because a new bypass passed our property, but because they were in arrears with our mortgage, Kensington wouldn't authorise it, they wanted us to pay it off the mortgage :(

got any equity in the property?

If you have a decent amount then you can probably get an ordinary repayment mortgage elsewhere as long as you can pay the proposed monthly amount.

They will be quite strict on their lending because of your current situation.

 

Do you have a vehicle you are investing in to pay off the capital at the end of the mortgage term?

 

 

What was said to you when you took out the mortgage and who by

- a broker or directly though them.

 

 

You might have a good claim for being missold the mortgage product and that will allow you to get away from these bandits a lot easier if the ombudsman finds in your favour and the broker may well just owe you a small fortune
