    • 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.

Hello,

 

New to the site and hoping to get some guidance and help on a matter I have.

 

 

I have had an email from creditcorp regarding a debt I have in Australia and if I do not contact them within 48hours they will make arrangements to source a uk company to recover these debts on their behalf.

 

They’ve advised the amount of $6000 and from what credit card company they’re recovering for (st George’s bank).

I was paying my credit card whilst in the county but my partner cancelled my defacto visa and I had a very fast exit out of Australia last year.

 

I believe the debt recovery agents have found that I’m back in the uk after contacting friends in Australia about a ‘business matter’ and innocently my friends have said I’m back in the uk. There has been a total of 3 emails from the same guy working for credit corp, in his second email he confirms he knows I now reside in the uk.

My absolute main concern is that I own a house in the uk and so I am terrified of losing that.

 

I am willing to repay the debt to avoid losing this but I do not know where to begin,

what to do as so many things I read seem to contradict each other,

from ignoring them to paying it back in full.

 

Not to mention the amount the debt recovery have added to the amount I actually owed which I think was $3000ish

 

What rights do they have?

And can they get a uk company to follow this up?

I’m assuming it’s stevendrake they engage (from what I’ve read)

 

any help or advise will be very much appreciated.

i had tried reading up on them, there’s so many.

 

It’s hard to follow as everyone has slightly different situations.

I had read one on here about someone who actually got sent to court as the Aussie company had engaged a uk company.

 

Sorry but what does BK mean?

Not sure on the abbreviations with being new to this!

BK = bankruptcy

 

best idea is to stick to CAG

 

use the search CAG box of the top redtoolbar

 

something like Aus debt Drake

 

but just remember you have only received EMAILS

they don't even know if you got them

so think about that...are they trying to fleece me for free here hoping I'll wet myself and think they have some magical legal powers?

 

wait till they WRITE to you.

 

delete the emails block their email address and bounce them back as not received/unknown [your] email address very easy to do.

 

don't get sc@mmed!!

 

there are one or two court cases knocking around on the net

if they are real is one thing..

they were patsy's paid more to allow it to happen then what was actually being chased most probably

then people read about them and wet themselves when they get a free email chasing them...

 

I believe also there's one case that's banded around whereby the silly person totally ignored COURT papers from a COURT, not fake ones sent by email from the fleecers

that's another story, ...you don't ignore court paperwork sent from a UK court.

He he says he can pay it.

 

When end will you be stopped from advising people to avoid paying their debts, or is this now the official line of CAG? It is certainly not what CAG was set up for.

 

So so the official line is “Only pay what you owe if there is legal recourse”?

Urh??

 

Who says he owes it some fleecing dca from aus?

With no legal jurisdiction in this country?

 

Bit like our dca's in the uk then??

 

Our dca's are powerless and are not bailiffs

So one from aus is even less so!!

Always up to debt owner/creditor to follow the correct legal process and not just harass people.

 

There is nothing stopping a debt owner/creditor from outside the UK, issuing a UK court claim, providing they follow the correct process.

 

Foreign debts have been enforced in UK courts for a very long time. There is a case precedent going back to about 1971 that is still used by foreign creditors. As long as the debtor is resident in the UK, they can ask a UK court to look at their claim.

 

The issue is DCA's trying to use debtors ignorance about debts, in gaining payment by harassment.

We could do with some help from you.

He says he owes it. PAY what you owe.

 

So what’s the advise now “..only pay it if they can find you and pin you down”?

 

You will be telling him to blindly try a chargeback next ! ( you know, just in case he maid a payment by visa debit)

 

So so what is the official CAG stance on paying debts then...come on DX, I would love to hear it

Emails should always be ignored and bounced back

 

The only letters you do not ignore are:

 

A letter of claim from a solicitor representing their clients, the owner of a debt

Or

A statutory demand the same above

Or

A county court claimform

as from day one, its never changed, if a DCA/debt buyer owns the debt you always challenge it, never been any different.

 

if the debt is still owned by a UK bank, and is pre the apr 2007 CCA changes whereby a reconstructed CCA could be deemed enforceable - again you always challenge it.

 

but as already pointed out this is a foreign overseas debt.

which the above has no relation too.

 

throw the 'morality' card out the window as they always do.
