    • Morning all, a while since I've been here....I contacted my bank regarding the matter and they took the decision to take "charge back" action against QVC, I initially got the money back and then letters from QVC basically stating I had defaulted on my payments and owed them the money Nationwide had claimed back, just as BF speculated they would. In short I repaid QVC to avoid having debt collectors after me, and having contacted CAB am now in the process of writing to Evri outlining my claim. CAB provided me with a basic template for the letter so I'll see how that goes. Regards.
    • Well you could say that you have pictures where the signs were not on the wall where you parked so would require strict proof of when they were erected . But in any case it was dark so even if a sign was there you didn't see as it was not illuminated. Little point in not having signs that can be seen at night though it obviously makes it easier to issue PCNs and pursue motorists claiming they have breached non contractual contracts whilst breaching those same motorist's GDPR.
    • It fizzled out, they kept delaying the complaints process. In the end I believe they stopped charging me for a bunch of services, unsure if it was deliberate or a mistake so I stopped bringing it up. Ultimately we bought a house and moved out.
    • There are so many factors, and local elections are often far more about local issues and people, but the one previously general rule in a general election are that the hard core Tories vote Tory and hard core Labour voters vote labour   Gaza seems to have dulled both the muslim and Jewish labour votes more than the Tories - and I can see why - but do the muslim voters really think that the Tories will do ANYTHING other than talk and then do whatever the Americans say - and thats support Israel whatever they do first and foremost in real terms? Reform has unquestionably affected the Tory local vote - so should affect the GE vote a bit more, but has largely been factored in - reform isnt new in any way - its all Brexitish although there seem to be far more ex 'conservative' core reform/ukip/brexitish voters than ex 'labour' core voters - about 6-8% of the national vote in a GE seems to me. A little up on prior brexitish/faragits scores But the large swathes of center ground voters who decide who wins the election seem to have utterly deserted the Tories in their millions - although they have gone to labour, libdems and greens - and many real conservatives are in limbo despite Sunak being naturally more a thatcherite than most - his party currently seems far less so. Johnson promised much, and many were taken in, just as people (inc me) made that mistake with Farage in the early days - but we now know that they are self serving liars who can't be trusted with anything - although I still think it likely The Liar will be back - but most likely after the GE (60/40) Starmer is lacking in charisma and presence, but others in his cabinet should shine. But Corbynistas could still cause trouble - another group that seem happy to drag everything down if they think it suites   Johnson perhaps could reunite some of the Tory party - but he seems to have numerous criminal and political convistions sitting in the background should he try Lying about giving preference to dogs in the Afghan evacuations - and lying about it Unlawfully proroguing parliament embezzlement re funds and spending (eg flat referb) .. repeatedly Taking jobs before he should after being booted - should lose his PM pension and rights over that IMO the list goes on ad nauseam
    • Hi I am negotiating with my ex (commercial) landlord's solicitor for a debt I owe for rent. This has been going on for a little while and I expect they may go ahead with the court action they threaten. I wanted to ask however, In the event this action goes ahead, I think will have a response pack sent to me from the court, along with the claim. Google tells me that a section of this response pack is a 'Admit the claim and ask for time to pay'. Would this time to pay, if accepted also mean a CCJ registered against me? Thanks

    • 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.

Did they put a breakdown of what the debt amount was for, and what fees have been applied?

 

If attended as bailiffs move any car well away, and don't let them in.

We could do with some help from you.

Bailiffs can only force entry to a private house if they are enforcing a criminal fine or carrying out an eviction.

 

If it is not either of these, then they can't and won't force entry. If you open the door, they will try foot in the door and if necessary claim they were invited in. Therefore not wise to open up the door or to acknowledge that you are in. Don't have a car parked near the house and nothing in separate garages or sheds of any value.

 

You should have had a notice of enforcement letter previously and letters from whoever is owed an amount.

possible forced entry is allowed

you say you have unopened letters

so what are they .

I can see nothing on the notice to suggest that this debt is anything at all to do with a court fine for unpaid car tax. Neither can I see any reference regarding 'forced entry'?

 

To me, this debt is a simple road traffic debt for an unpaid penalty charge notice issued by a local authority.

Those letters from Rossers are too vague. ' Road traffic offences'. They should have to state exactly what the enforcement visit relates to. Surely it only takes a minute to write down PCN issued by x authority August 2017 or whatever the issue is.

 

Is this deliberate or does the EO not have the details when they write these ?

I would agree with you UB about the vagueness of the information on the notice. Regrettably, the notice is not a statutory one. When the regulations were overhauled in 2014, they did not provide for a statutory notice that could be left at the property to advise that a visit had been made whilst the person had been at work/out shopping etc.

 

More detail on the debt and what it relates to would have been provided on the Notice of Enforcement.

Update...

 

I spoke to the enforcement agent who confirmed it was for a unpaid PCN from last year.

 

She wanted me to agree to 4 x monthly installments of £100 + to settle which i could not afford

 

i suggested i would speak with my parents to use a credit card ~(no intention of doing so)

 

I never heard back from her

 

now i have another letter from rossendales notice of proposed legal proceedings,

 

7 days to pay etc..

 

Date of offence was 05/07/2016 total outstanding is £423.00

Spoke to local authority asking if they would accept payment without involvement of rossendales but apparantly once its with them its out of there hands. have emailed rossendales one of the templates off here suitably adjusted asking to see proof of ownership of the debt.

I don't know where the idea has come from that Rossendales 'owns the debt'? For clarity, the local authority have been granted a Liability Order in the Magistrates Court. Once granted the council can use a range of options to enforce payment. One of those options is an Attachment of Earnings but sadly, there are many pitfalls to these attachments, and this is why councils (and courts) do not use them as often as they could.

 

The most popular way in which councils enforce payment of the Liability Order is via the use of bailiffs.....in this case by using Rossendales. That company will have a contract with the council. They neither own the debt or buy the debt. Rossendales are simply acting as agents for the local authority.

 

PS: Would you mind posting a link to the template that you have used.

Sorry but I am totally confused here as to what this is all about.

 

Early on in the thread there is talk of this being for an unpaid fine for non-payment of car tax and the letter in Post 8 appears to have been left following a visit to the premises - one assumes a Notice of Enforcement was sent prior to this. That would have been on top of all the previous letters about it when it all started.

 

The letter in Post 16 alludes to a PCN and from the tone of it appears to be a notification to pay before it goes to Court (TEC).

 

Think we need a lot more information about this.

Yes it is for an unpaid PCN the car tax post was prior to finding out what it was about. Basically my car was parked on a local road on double yellows and therefore got a ticket from the local authority. After not paying the initial and then increased charge i had letters sent from Rossendales and after ignoring them had the door step visit. Since then the most recent correspondence is the letter posted above. Hope this clears it up a little.

I've not helped the position either as I mistakenly mentioned that the debt had been for a Liability Order (instead of a simple parking related debt).

I am sorry to be blunt but ignoring all correspondence from the council has directly lead you to be in the position that you are now in. I'm not sure what the position is with your car but it is now seriously at risk of being seized.

 

In your first post you claimed that the letter from Rossendales stated that they would force entry. That claim by you was proven to be wrong when you posted a copy of the letter.

 

Today, in another post you have confirmed that you had received all notices from the local authority and that you had also ignored letters from Rossendales.

 

In your above post you have stated that you had informed the agent that you would try to borrow the money from your mother . You then mention that in reality, you had no intention of doing so.

 

My personal opinion is that you are not wanting help from the forum in dealing with this debt....instead, you are wanting assistance with ways to avoid paying.

No worries car in question has been sold on this charge is from July 2016.

 

Avoid paying fees/charges etc yes. I was quite willing to pay the council when i spoke with them and am happy to pay an increased fee also but not £423.00.

 

Just received this email reply in response to yesterdays email.

 

We are acting on behalf of Staffordshire County Council who have asked us to enforce a warrant granted against you by TEC Northampton County Court for an unpaid Road Traffic fine.

 

Our parking clients send out a number of letters/Notices prior to registering debts with TEC (Traffic Enforcement Centre) at Northampton County Court and then finally referring the warrants to us to commence enforcement

 

The Warrant allows a certificated Enforcement Agent acting on behalf of the council to take control of goods. There are specific regulations which allow for recovery action to be taken against customers who do not pay their Road Traffic Fines.

 

We can confirm that no contract exists between us as no consideration has been received by either party.

 

Please note that details of our complaints procedure can be found on our website http://www.rossendales.com

 

In the meantime, if you would like to pay by instalments we need a full financial statement listing all your household income and expenditure to enable us to agree an appropriate level of repayment.

 

Please find attached a blank financial statement form for you to complete. If for any reason you are unable to use the attached form, please write down your income and expenses in an email or in a letter and send on to us.

 

We have placed a hold on your case for 14 days to allow you time to send the information in to us.

 

If we do not hear from you further recovery action may be taken.

 

Yours sincerely
