    • Because of the tsunami of cases we are having for this scam site, over the weekend I had a look at MET cases we have here stretching back to June 2014.  Yes, ten years. MET have not once had the guts to put a case in front of a judge. In about 5% of cases they have issued court papers in the hope that the motorist will be terrified of going to court and will give in.  However, when the motorist defended, it was MET who bottled it.  Every time.
    • Hi everyone, Thanks for the responses. Just a few follow up questions in light of what's been said:   If I dont appeal to PPM, who can I appeal to?   Why should the PCN been attached to the windscreen? Is this written in law?   I assumed the document I had received was the NTK, if this is not the case, what does a NTK look like?   Regarding the compliance with the Protection of Freedoms Act, could the "period" of parking not be argued either way? The legislation doesnt state it must have a start/end time of parking, which I assumed an ANPR camera would pick up if it had one. Is 4 minutes not technically enough to show the vehicle was parked?    Thanks !

    • Will get them done asap My job changes week to week so at the time I didn’t know. 
    • You will probably get a couple more reminders followed by further demands fro unregulated debt collectors with even increasing amounts to pay. They are all designed to scare you into paying.  Don't. It's a scam site and they do not know who was driving and they know the keeper is not liable to pay the PCN. Also the shop was closed so they have no legitimate interest in keeping the car park clear. So to charge £100 is a penalty as there is no legitimate interest which means that the case would be thrown out if it went to Court.  Keep your money in your wallet and be prepared to ignore all their letters and threats. Doubtful they would go to Court since a lot more people would not pay when they heard  MET lost in Court. However they may just send you a Letter of Claim to test your resolve.  If yoy get one of those, come back to us and we will advise a snotty letter to send them.  You probably already have, but take a look through some of our past Met PCNs to see how they are doing.

    • 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.

My sister in law has just rang yes loans and they accepted her then asked her to pay £49 she didnt have it in the bank so had to say no, so they are sending her a form out.

I told her not to pay it, but she wants some extra cash for the kids for xmas, is there any decent loan companies she could try.

She has a low credit score and wants to borrow around £500

God no, I should hope she would`nt take out any more loans!!

 

This is my sister in law, she lives in my road and doesnt have a landline so she just rang them an hour ago from my house.

She does not have anything on credit but is finding it hard still to get a loan off the high street.

Many loan companies are offering loans in the run up to the feastive season, going through the bank will most likly offer the best APR, others like provident will consider the loan but with very high APR, ur sis can do a search on loans and input her information that finds the best deals, if thats what you can call em, best deals to suit them i would think, getting a loan to cover xmas will cost more in the long run, what with intrest etc added, can she not, just explain to the children that money is a little tight and just buy each child one gift there really want, and a mixture of smaller cheaper gifts, aution sites offer items to bid on, which might work out cheap and cheaper retail shops offer 3 gifts for the price of 2. which might be useful.

Christmas time is never easy for parents, with all the expensive toys/gadets advertised on tv etc, that ploy on parents to buy there children. Buying a board game could assist as been one of the kids gifts, that there all can share, another way of giving gifts, write down one thing you all can do, after xmas, like a day at the beach or funfair, like a iou, that can be redeemed after xmas. Christmas can be fun, and happy, without having to spend hundreds that isnt available. Just been there for the kids having a hearty meal and laughter in the house is just as good as the latest phone or gadet. Saying no to the children at xmas isnt easy, thats what these companies prey on, but don't get into the loan/debt loophole just to buy the latest must have.

Dont touch Yes Loans.

 

I paid out the £49 had to sign a contract to say that they would search on my behalf to find a lender that will help me with the loan for 1 month.

 

After 1 month they couldn't find anybody - so they had my £49 for 1 month earning them interest - I had about 12 searches on my credit file which meant that I couldn't apply for aything else for 6 months as this did not look good and it took me a further 2 months to get the £49 back.

 

I am sure they have helped other people - I just had a very bad experience so please be careful.

 

I know what it is like with regards to finding money for children for presents - we have this year gone down the route of going through everything old toys linen etc and selling it on ebay - we made about £250!

And it didn't cost a penny!:-D
