    • 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! Not new to this, I had couple of successes and currently taking on HFC and Lloyds. A friend of mine seek my help as she's thinking on claiming charges from Barclaycard. But she's currently on payment plan with them. She's hesitant because she might loose and might be asked to pay the full balance (as stated on her agreement. ???) which she will not be able to afford.

I would like to encourage her, but I would like to check first if she can claim charges whilst on payment plan? And will her payment plan automatically stop once she send her preliminary letter?

Hi GW,

 

What a beautiful username.

 

There should be no problem claiming back charges on this a/c but I would expect the bank to use the refund to reduce the debt owing on the CC.

 

However, if your friend has other debts she's paying off by arrangement, she could ask for refund to be paid direct to her so she can pay all banks, etc that she owes on a pro rata basis to reduce her overall debts.

 

Your friend will not lose her claim for unlawfull CC chgs.

 

Does she have her state's to see what chgs she's suffered or will she need to send S.A.R.

Hi GW,

 

Send the SAR. If the bank cancel the arrangement, it would be viewed as retaliatory and could be contested/complained about to FOS and/or FSA.

 

Has she sent CCA request to see if the debt in itself is enforceable. If they don't have proper Consumer Credit Agreement, she could stop paying off the debt and they COULD NOT force her to pay any more. They may enter the debt on her CRA details but I suspect this may have happened already.

 

This should be done seperately to the SAR.

 

Does she have other debts she is paying by arrangement.

Thanks slick.

 

Yes, she said she got 3 credit cards on arrangement, 2 with barclaycards and 1 with cap one.

 

Slick, sorry about my stupidity :confused:, but can you elaborate please... specially the part : "If they don't have proper Consumer Credit Agreement, she could stop paying off the debt and they COULD NOT force her to pay any more. They may enter the debt on her CRA details but I suspect this may have happened already."

 

CCA, that's consumer credit agreement right? And how can she request for that? Through S.A.R - (Subject Access Request), I presume?

Hiya,

CCA being your friends Consumer Credit Agreement. Your friend would have to send a CCA request to the creditor who would then in turn have to supply a 'true copy' of the agreement, that is if one exists! If there isn't an agreement, or the agreement is lacking certain terms making it unenforcable then the creditor (Barclaycard) cannot enforce the debt at all. I have posted the letter below which your friend needs to send, ensure she encloses a payment of £1 preferably as a postal order and that she sends it recorded delivery so you have proof of postage. I have had a lot of experience dealing with barclaycard and can comfortably say 80% off all CCA's I've seen are unenforcable!!

Dear Sir/Madam

Re:− Account/Reference Number

I ACKNOWLEDGE NO DEBT TO YOU OR ANY COMPANY YOU PURPORT TO REPRESENT.

With reference to the above agreement, we would be grateful if you would send us a copy of this credit agreement.

We understand that under the Consumer Credit Act 1974 (Sections 77−79), we are entitled to receive a copy of our credit agreement on request. We enclose a payment of £1.00 which represents the fee payable under the Consumer Credit Act.

We understand a copy of our credit agreement should be supplied within 12 working days.

We understand that under the Consumer Credit Act creditors are unable to enforce an agreement if they fail to comply with a request for a copy of the agreement under these sections of the Act.

We look forward to hearing from you.

Yours faithfully

Hi Graceful Willow,

 

If pay'ts are being made by arrangement on several cards, YF can demand the repayment of chgs to be made to her personally so she can distribute pay'ts to all her debtors on a pro rata basis. As opposed to BC refunding chgs direct to the BC a/c and reducing only the BC debt.

 

Don't apologise - this site is about helping peeps who in turn can help others.

 

If asked, BC MUST supply a proper copy of the CCA for a debt. If they fail to do this (which they very often do), the debt is unenforceable - so if YF stops paying the debt, BC in this instance cannot sue her for the balance and the balance could be written off.

 

YF may acknowledge the debt, however, and feel morally bound to clear it as best she can.

 

Use letter N from the templates here - http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/general-debt/20758-creditors-dcas-letter-templates.html

 

This is not my strong point and I hope I am right so far - however, the place to check it all out is here - http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/general-debt/

 

You'll find lots of interesting reading there and good advisors.

To request the information YF needs to consider reclaiming her unlawful BC chgs, she should send the SAR.

Thank you guys for your replies.

 

CCA - is that the confirmation of the payment plan or the one BC issued with the credit card when she applied for it?

 

And if the debt happens to be unenforceable, how can she get it written off? Does she needs to wait for BC to take her to court?

Hi GW,

 

CCA = Consumer Credit Agreement is what there SHOULD be in existance to set out the terms of the contract that exists between YF and BC when the CC a/c was opened - it has nothing to do with the payment plan.

 

Send letter N to formally request this doc't.

 

If BC cannot produce the nec'y CCA setting out all the required details, the debt is not legally enforceable. YF can stop paying the BC a/c and they cannot do any more about it. That's the simple theory but it doesn't ALWAYS work like that.

 

Have you had a look in the Debt Forum for examples.
