  1. . Intrepid there is nothing pleases me more than our members getting money off the rogues. However I feel that your over aggressive way of going about it including the speed with which you are doing it may count against you. By counterclaiming you have prevented them from withdrawing their claim prior to Court which, had they done so and it quite likely that they would have, that would have strengthened your case. So bad could have been their their case that you might not have had to take them to Court -just the threat might have been enough for them to come to a settlement. Telling them that they hadn't included their contract would

  3. Hi I have just had a good read of that letter and it is actually nothing to do with the shortfall that you paid £1000. What it is to do with is the claim you are making via the HSS Scheme for the Post Office Compensation due to this shocking scandal which in you case was going back to 2005/2006 approx. So your HSS Scheme Claim although recent is to do with 2005/2006 and as you went Bankrupt in 2006 and were then Discharged as the Claim as stated is to do with 2005.2006 it is then classed by the Insolvency Service as part of the Estate when you went Bankrupt. I know its disgusting that a Government Body The Insolvency Servi

  5. Look - apologies. When we won the persuasive judgement about POFA my thoughts were - at last we have a persuasive judgement - StoryBoard is going to court soon - StoryBoard can use the persuasive judgement. It completely slipped my mind - again - that you had outed yourself as the driver so POFA is neither here nor there in your case. Sorry, all your time on the phone was wasted as you can't use the judgement. FTMDave holds hands up. As a tiny justification we are all volunteers here and it's hard to remember every detail of every case, I just presumed like most users you hadn't appealed and hadn't outed y

  8. One can only imagine that the IPC and BPA inhabit some other planet where good sense is overcome by greed and the inhabitants have infected some of the leaders of car parks in Britain to join in their greed on the spurious grounds of "legitimate interest". rather then face The reason that more PCNs are being issued is twofold. The first one is the ever increasing rules introduced by the parking rogues for motorists to fall foul of. They try to charge you £100 for either putting in a wrong reg. number or failing to fill in your reg number inside the store. Despite having paid the entrance fee!! The second reason is that with the

  9. Sorry I cannot work out on this forum how to reply to my previous post. I got free legal advice from student solicitors and their supervisor at a local university which was really helpful. The seller's claim was thrown out of court when I actually attended. I even offered to settle the full cost of the bag out of court, which he rejected as he pretended he should be paid at the level of a solicitor for the case and would only settle for £3000. Anyway, in the event, he got nothing

  10. Evening, Just to add here - essentially that means that the claim is being dealt with as "box work" This is common practice for claims of mininmal value, that the court don't view as needing an in person hearing. Box work means that the judge can decide such claims within 10-15m. It's actually quite common, and my local CC deals with some claims on paper even if N180 says no. However, normally, depending on the court, you can send an email with the following at the top "PLEASE PLACE THIS EMAIL BEFORE THE COURT WITHOUT UNDUE DELAY" in which you can ask that the matter is listed for an oral hearing. I had this once for a PM

  12. Hi KP, 1. When you declared trading income for 20-21 and for 21-22, did you discuss with or declare to HMRC other income (PAYE or S/E earnings, savings income, etc)? 2. You say "we" so did HMRC assess you and your partner together for the eBay trading? 3. Did you submit the 22-23 return(s) by the paper deadline of 30-9-23 or online deadline of 31-1-24? Regarding your primary question about the need to submit tax return(s) for 21-22, it's probably better to just comply and file the return(s) regardless of you already paying tax and penalties for the tax year.

  13. Hi again all. I'm posting this for others now, more than anything else. I today received a further letter, more of the same, with the caveat bold and underlined, 'failure to respond or make payment will result in this case being prepared for court without further notice to you'. Payment requested by the 28th Feb. I will continue giving this no oxygen and no response. Thanks again to you all.

  15. By what you're saying, the payment failed? I personally wouldn't alert them to this. Call the bank and cancel the continuous payment authority. Do this now because they'll likely try and charge your card again in a couple of days once they realise the payment failed. Your bank might kick up a stink but stick to your guns and get it cancelled. The likelihood of them taking the time and effort to take you to court over £50 is pretty much zero.

  17. Hi I have to fully agree that if you only signed that Salford Council Tenancy Agreement some 20 yrs ago and no other Agreement since then your Salford Council Tenancy Agreement is still in force and can't be superceded by ForHousing quoting from there own Agreement. So ForHousing Housing Officer is wrong in what they have stated to you and need to be corrected as they can't enforce there own tenancy agreement clauses for there own tenancy agreement when you Tenancy Agreement was with Salford Council and signed at that time with no new Tenancy Agreement Signed. Just for info even if ForHousing insist that you sign a New Tenancy

  20. The bigger issue here is FD fobbing you off re: Fraud. Google is not your target here, FD is. They should have immediately frozen the card and removed Google Pay's authority to take payments as soon as you reported it. You need to call them NOW and get put through specifically to their fraud team (not some jobbie in the general customer service) and get them to freeze the card. You should also demand that they raise a chargeback immediately for the 2 charges. This should be trivial as they're euro payments and you're in the UK.

Of course there's the usual Will & John pretending to improve matters for the motorist before instantly contradicting themselves. However, there are bits that are half decent, and which the PPCs will surely ignore, which we can use in WSs. These are below. Bits in red are new, taken from the government CoP. Bits in blue are new, but not based on the government CoP. Bits in black had always been there, just not noticed properly by me. They have also had to accept the government consideratio

  23. I've just just received a letter from the local county court this morning saying that after consideration of the file and directions questionnaire etc etc.... it is ordered that The Claim is Struck Out!!!!! I won't pretend that I understand all the detail as to why, but basically they said the particulars of claim were inadequate, neither the court, nor the defendant is able to understand why the claim is being pursued, and the particulars don't state all the necessary facts, despite the option to provide more detailed particulars. It says both parties have the option to have the order set aside, varied or stayed, but hopefully

  24. worthy to note this area is cover by port of authority byelaws too. and Port reinforce importance of responsible parking - Shoreham Port (shoreham-port.co.uk) where it clearly states FINE, which means it's cover by the byelaws and thus only the port authority can issue the required penalty charge notice a powerless private parking company cannot do that. thread title updated.

  25. I understand that dx but I have seen at least on case where a Judge ruled that as the parking company still had all their signs up and running the car park and therefore with the landlord's approval that the contract had been renewed even though it was not on show nor did we know the revised terms if any. Judge lottery. Their rules, not ours.

  27. Apologies. I didn't think through things properly before I wrote my last post. We don't have one case of NPE doing court (although of course there are no guarantees). Outing you as the driver now would mean going back to square one with them sending a PCN, a reminder letter, ten million threatening letters, etc., and be even more work for her. It may well be better to let sleeping NPEs lie. In any case you made the decision not to out yourself months ago before your move and I think we're stuck with it now.

  28. According to PoFA the keeper should inform the rogues within the first month of a PCN being issued who was the driver involved [their name and address]. After that time it would be up to them to decide whether to carry on against your Mother or switch over to you. Once they discover that you won't be in the Country to appear in Court they may be able to revert back to pursuing your Mother. poFA does not appear to cover such a situation so we are pretty much in the dark on that. You would have thought that they would jump at the chance to cancel the case since it was very much a trumped up botch which should never have been started.

  29. Hi Tosca. Welcome to CAG. Naughty Naughty by the freeholder to bring a claim against someone without the capacity to deal with it. When was the judgment awarded? You should be looking to apply for an N244 set aside due to your mother's mental capacity. CPR 21.3 is very clear that no further steps in the proceedings should be taken if a party involved loses the mental capacity and does not have a litigation friend to handle it on their behalf. A judgment should never have been entered in the first place

When you send the item back, make sure it is absolutely according to their instructions and you have a very firm proof that you have sent it off. But wait for them to designate the courier or postal method.

I have asked if by paying the CCJ I am to assume they will also be fulfilled but will update shortly before we know how to carry on..... Dear The CCJ sum has been paid It was paid by two instalments and by electronic transfer I've attached proof of payment Could you check your account for those payments and let me know.

  34. Maybe something like this in my reply to CEL... I will not deal with all of the points raised here as I have adequately set out my grounds for the claim in my letter dated 09 February 2024 . I will, however, add that you did cause a delay by ignoring my initial letter and only took action once I had contacted your associates, DCBL. This is evident in your email reply to me on the 24 January 2024 which stated We have been contacted by DCBL with regards to matter you have outlined in your complaint. My “complaint”, as you are aware was raised through your online complaints portal on the 24 January 2024 and was a chaser to my original let

  35. Well done on your victory ... at least for now. I would reply to Santander and tell them, for their investigation, that the reason for the dispute is because Zipcar have confused a Penalty Charge Notice from a council with an invoice from a private company. It is amazingly unprofessional for a large national car hire company to make such a basic mistake.

  36. What a bunch of shysters they really are. You have told them several times, before they issued the LOC that they had the wrong person. You returned innumerable letters saying you were not the right person including their LOC which had they opened their returned mail they would have understood the situation. [No I am sorry they wouldn't have understood as they are pig ignorant ]. You could write back to them saying "I am in receipt of your letter blaming me for not replying to your letter which was intended for some one else who lived some where else who I don't know and whose car I have never owned!

  37. OK, so the developments were predictable. You were never just going to get a cheque for three and a half grand! CEL have gone running to their solicitors. The solicitors have done what solicitors do, dug up as many reasons as possible to undermine your case. Some would stand up in court and some wouldn't, but that's not important at the moment, they are doing their job of attacking your case in the hope that you will give in. Before going into the minutiae of what they state, perhaps consider what you hope to get out of this and how much effort you're prepared to put in. You can of course issue the claim on Monday, but you could

Or at least, that's what I was told by them. Apple were never at fault. it seems somewhere between being picked up from my property to their depot, the shipping label was swapped. On Monday they were going to interview the driver and let me know on Tuesday. They advised that it was a long standing employee with a spotless record and he would most likely lose his job.

  39. Ideally we would need photos of their signage to see if they have included "no Stopping " in the car park. Would be pretty unusual since to either back into a parking space or back out of it would require stoppping to change from reverse to forward. Your appeal in this case is hardly a problem since the whole PCN is rubbish. First, they haven't specified a parking period on the PCN [the photos don't count] And even if they had it is obvious that you had to drive from the entrance to the parking place and then leave the parking space and drive back to the exit so the time spent turning you car could only have been a matter of two minutes

  40. Martin Lewis was one of the people who set up Money Saving Expert - and their site, like ours, takes great pains to point out that the parking companies issue invoices, not fines. A private company has as much right as me or dx or you to issue a fine - i.e. none. I haven't seen the programme but I'm damn sure Martin Lewis wasn't so stupid as to talk about non-existent "fines". I don't know what you mean by "unqualified". Dx, Honeybee, Brassnecked, LFI and the other long-term Caggers have been here for 18 years dealing with about 22,000 of these cases. The vast majority don't reach court, and of those that do about 85% are won

  41. which describes your comment to a TEE... it is NOT A FINE.....this is an extremely important point to understand no-one bar a magistrate in a magistrates criminal court can ever fine anyone for anything. Private Parking Tickets (speculative invoices) are NOT a criminal matter, merely a speculative contractual Civil matter hence they can only try a speculative monetary claim via the civil county court system (which is no more a legal powers matter than what any member of Joe Public can do). Until/unless they do raise a county court claim a CCJ and win, there are not ANY enforcement powers they can undertake other th

  43. Honestly, this wake up call is probably what you needed. The likelihood of police being involved is practically zero. They usually don't bother for reports after the fact (security would have had to have placed you under citizens arrest) and the amount you've stole is relatively so little it wouldn't be worth their time. Use this as a learning experience, and build back better. You've got my full support! You absolutely 100% need to talk to someone about this. Speak to someone on the phone ideally, as it sounds like in-person support didn't work. Talking matters was likely group therapy and you really need 1-to-1 support now.
