    • Monika the first four pages of the Private parking section have at least 12 of our members who have also been caught out on this scam site. That's around one quarter of all our current complaints. Usually we might expect two current complaints for the same park within 4 pages.  So you are in good company and have done well in appealing to McDonalds in an effort to resolve the matter without having  paid such a bunch of rogues. Most people blindly pay up. Met . Starbucks and McDonalds  are well aware of the situation and seem unwilling to make it easier for motorists to avoid getting caught. For instance, instead of photographing you, if they were honest and wanted you  to continue using their services again, they would have said "Excuse me but if you are going to go to Mc donalds from here, it will cost you £100." But no they kett quiet and are now pursuing you for probably a lot more than £100 now. They also know thst  they cannot charge anything over the amount stated on the car park signs. Their claims for £160 or £170 are unlawful yet so many pay that to avoid going to Court. When the truth is that Met are unlikely to take them to Court since they know they will lose. The PCNs are issued on airport land which is covered by Byelaws so only the driver can be pursued, not the keeper. But they keep writing to you as they do not know who was driving unless you gave it away when you appealed. Even if they know you were driving they should still lose in Court for several reasons. The reason we ask you to fill out our questionnaire is to help you if MET do decide to take you to Court in the end. Each member who visited the park may well have different experiences while there which can help when filling out a Witness statement [we will help you with that if it comes to it.] if you have thrown away the original PCN  and other paperwork you obviously haven't got a jerbil or a guinea pig as their paper makes great litter boxes for them.🙂 You can send an SAR to them to get all the information Met have on you to date. Though if you have been to several sites already, you may have done that by now. In the meantime, you will be being bombarded by illiterate debt collectors and sixth rate solicitors all threatening you with ever increasing amounts as well as being hung drawn and quartered. Their letters can all be safely ignored. On the odd chance that you may get a Letter of Claim from them just come back to us and we will get you to send a snotty letter back to them so that they know you are not happy, don't care a fig for their threats and will see them off in Court if they finally have the guts to carry on. If you do have the original PCN could you please post it up, carefully removing your name. address and car registration number but including dates and times. If not just click on the SAR to take you to the form to send to Met.

    • Hello CAG Team, I'm adding the contents of the claim to this thread, but wanted to open the thread with an urgent question: Do I have to supply a WS for a claim with a court date that states " at the hearing the court will consider allocation and, time permitting, give an early neutral evaluation of the case" ? letter is an N24 General Form of Judgement or Order, if so, then I've messed up again. Court date 25 May 2024 The letter from court does not state (like the other claims I have) that I must provide WS within 28 days.. BUT I have recently received a WS from Link for it! making me think I do need to!??
    • Massive issues from Scottish Power I wonder if someone could advise next steps. Tennant moved out I changed the electric into my name I was out the country at the time so I hadn't been to the flat. During sign up process they tried to hijack my gas supply as well which I made it clear I didn't want duel fuel from them but they still went ahead with it. Phoned them up again. a few days later telling them to make sure they stopped it but they said too late ? had to get my current supplier to cancel it. Paid £50 online to ensure there was money covering standing charges etc eventually got to the flat no power. Phoned Scottish Power 40 minutes to get through they state I have a pay as you go meter and that they had set me up on a credit account so they need to send an engineer out which they will pass my details onto. Phone called from engineer asking questions , found out the float is vacant so not an emergency so I have to speak to Scottish Power again. Spoke with the original person from Scottish Power who admitted a mistake (I had told her it was vacant) and now states that it will take 4 weeks to get an appointment but if I want to raise a complaint they will contact me in 48 hours and it will be looked at quicker. Raised a complaint , complaints emailed me within 24 hours to say it will take 7 days till he speaks with me. All I want is power in the property would I be better switching over to EON who supply the gas surely they could sort it out quicker? One thing is for sure I will never bother with Scottish Power ever again.

    • 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

Looking for some quick advice on a court claim from Lowell dated 5th Feb who have a Lloyds overdraft debt sold to them in 2015 although it was around 2013 that Lloyds kept adding more and more charges and fees etc.

 

The POC is as follows :

Author Document

Debt assigned on 24/11/15 by Lloyds banking group PLC and the claimant claims

1. 3595.98

2.Statutory interest persuant to section 69 of the county courts act ( 1984) at a rate of 8% per annum from 24/11/2015 to 02/02/18

287.68 and thereafter at a daily rate of 0.79 to date of judgement or sooner payment

Ref ****************** ( there ref number here )

 

I will be defending fully

but was thinking of using CPR31.14 but the claim does not mention any documentation.

 

Also is it worth sending a SAR request today to help my defence.

 

As stated I know there are multiple charges on the account,

I also do not recall receiving and NOA or documents asking me to bring the account up to date in a set timescale.

 

Also as a side not I am currently self employed under contract work until the end of Feb so if it does go to court can I still receive a CCJ for being self employed or possibly unemployed if I do not get any contract work in the coming months ..

 

Thanks...

Yes thats it word for word !

 

One thing I initially thought is the line debt assigned..don't believe I got a NOA ...

 

You can also see they are adding interest as well..

 

I think initally the debt was £2600 made up of charges , but Lowell have been adding on since

Link to post
Share on other sites

well no they aren't adding interest

they are hoping to get a default judgement which would not be seen by any human, and that slips through

its for the JUDGE to allow 8% and not over several years either, typically only one year is allowed

 

I would assume as they always do that they've lefy this until just before SB date

or what they think is the SB date, to gain max int on it.

 

go ring LLOyds ask last payment date please

they have 24hs phone banking

or do you still have online access

keep getting passed from pillar to post by Halifax but not being deterred.

 

On a side note

I have received a letter today from Lowell on another debt ( Vanquis card ) for £710 ..

.I sent them a SAR request for this sametime I sent the 31.14 to their solicitors ,

guess what I have been offered a 40% discount....what a surprise !

This is another one that is full of charges etc but that is for another forum...

 

Spoke to Halifax and they cannot get into account for balance or last payment but will send out statements for within the next 5 working days.

 

What they did confirm is the account was closed March 2014.

I know that between 2012 to 2014 no payments were made by me

so in liklelyhood it is coming up to the SB period which is possibly why Lowell are going for it now.

 

Also checking paperwork I did the pre litigation letter from Lowells solicitors....

an overdraft?

Hi..

Awaiting documents for last payment...O/D was taken out in 2009

 

an overdraft?

aside from the last payment (have you checked that), when was the o/d taken out

 

Need to check figures but taken out on 2009 to 2012 when I lost job and then spiralled out of control with fees , chargers and honouring D/D's up to £3500 ..was left like that until 2015 and closed then passed to Lowell...

 

an overdraft?

aside from the last payment (have you checked that), when was the o/d taken out

 

Oh also not a signed in branch O/D but done over the phone with Halifax cust services so no signed docs to accept terms and conditions etc..

i was asking, as if it was after 2011 then the s61b cca act would apply. it wouldn't require signing though, just terms furnished at the time. then up to the court.

when was the last payment.

Okay got a letter today from Lowell not relating to this but to 2 other debts they have purchased that I sent a SAR request for sametime as the SAR 31.14.

 

Apparently they are only sending me data since they purchased the accounts and not from previously as I will need to contact the original creditor for this.

 

Surely that is for them to either have all the previous paperwork or down to them to get the information from the OC if Lowell are the supposed owners ?
