I then wrote to all my creditor's with pro rata offers of payments but debt collectors took over the accounts.
    • Just an update for all. I received about a letter every other week, increasing in threat levels. Then I hadn't had one for a about two weeks, then Saturday received a carbon copy of the very first letter they sent me in February. Made me laugh, rinse and repeat. 
    • So, your response was not received by the SCP as you did not send it with a valid stamp. Therefore, from my two option in post #14, the first option is the only one available to you, but you do not have the option of asking to be sentenced at the fixed penalty level as the reason the SCP did not receive your response was down to you. Here's a reminder of what to do: Respond to the SJPN by pleading “Not Guilty” to both charges. In the “Reasons for pleading Not Guilty” box state that you are willing to plead guilty to the speeding charge providing, and only providing, the “Fail to Provide Driver's Details" (FtP) charge is dropped. This is a tried and tested method to deal with your problem and is almost always successful. Before the pandemic it was necessary to attend court to do this "deal" because it needs the agreement of the police prosecutor.. During the pandemic courts made every effort to have as few  people as possible attend and they began doing this deal under the "Single Justice" procedure without the defendant's attendance. Some courts have carried this procedure on whilst others have reverted to a personal attendance being necessary. If you are required to attend, your case will be taken out of the SJ procedure and you will be given a date for a hearing in the normal Magistrates' Court. If that is the way they do it in the area involved you will have to attend, see the prosecutor and offer your "deal" in person.

    • 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.

Tell them that you could find out who was actualy driving the vehicle on that occasion but if they would like you to divulge that information it will cost them £200 once you have sought the permission of the driver.

 

However , the best advice on these forums is to totaly ignore anything from them, they will eventualy give up and go away.

This advice does work, just have a read of all the PPC forums.

it should be borne in mind that by stating many people have access to a vehicle and as a result the defendant cannot state who had it at any one given time thrn they are comfirming that they did not know who was driving and therefore cannot be certain the vechicle was insured."

 

Saying I was not the driver is completely different from saying I don't know who was driving. They're talking bo**ox. Just ignore everything from now on.

 

here's what you can expect:

hi, can anyone help me here? got a europarking car park fine,

 

It's not a fine, it is more like a begging letter.

 

so i sent the first template letter saying i am the registered keeper but not the driver on that day,

 

One letter too many, but you have stated your position leave it at that.

 

received letter back from them saying if i dont name the driver,

 

Under what legal authority do you have to tell a private company the name of anybody?

 

quote" :confused:it should be borne in mind that by stating many people have access to a vehicle and as a result the defendant

 

Surely you only get a defendant in a court case! And we are an awful long way from there.

cannot state who had it at any one given time thrn they are comfirming that they did not know who was driving and therefore cannot be certain the vechicle was insured."

 

And that is anything to do with them, how?

 

so what do i do now????

 

Ignore them completely, have another read of their pathetic letter and have a good laugh.

regards

At the risk of asking what has been asked countless times, I wonder if someone would mind very much telling me if, with possible changes to the law, the current advice would still be to ignore, ignore and then ignore again letters re a Parking Charge Notice. I have received one of these and was just going to accept that I had been stupid and pay up (£50 if I pay this week, then £80, rising to a possible £110). However, before I signed on the dotted line I decided to do a bit of research and came across this forum. It seems to pretty much cover what I wanted to know, but I read one of the posts from quite a while ago and I wondered if the law had changed. The letter I received is from Parking Eye and apart from the car registration and the place and time, is very like a lot of the letters posted about in here. Many thanks for any responses I get.

one or a few PPC's have been spouting the Changes in The LAW , there is not its only something dreamed up on Planet Perky ( search for PERKY on the forum ) yet another one of their [problem] statements, but as watertight as a pint of water in a paper bag

 

ignore the rubbish they send you regardless of who they send letters from solicitors DCA's etc there just from the next desk along in their little hovel they call an office in the fantasy world of "SCAMVILLE"

 

golden rules DONT contact them in any way WHATSOEVER

 

then

 

1) IGNORE

 

2) IGNORE SOME MORE

 

3) GOTO 1

Great but regardless of what they send file under rubbish, and if and only if (chances are about 0.000000001%) they actually did send real County Court Papers (a few have tried sending Court Forms without the Court seal, a [problem]) there are many here that will help you with it

 

Also IGNORE any Notice To Owner saying you are Libel etc, its total hogwash, and you don’t have to tell them, who was driving either, only A Council with a real PCN can send a NTO, and the Police have similar powers

 

Bottom line PPC's are [EDIT] and leaches feeding of people who don’t know their Legal Rights

 

And tell every one you know about the [problem], and point them to CAG, where they can read all about it

CP Plus - result for the good guys!

Ref. #672 & 722 above and Blagton's reply -thank you - I have just received a letter from CP plus cancelling the notice, saying no further action will be taken and aopologising sincerely for any inconvenience! RESULT!

I did receive an acknowledgement for my complaint to the DVLA but nothing else. However, I did also complain to Consumer Direct requesting my information be passed to Herts TS, and they were very solicitous and positive. I have yet to discover why CP plus back-tracked but, after 3 attempts to extract money fraudulently from me with no return contact or result, they seem to have given up. If I discover which organisation did the job I'll post the answer. Keep up the good work!

hey everyone haven't posted for a while but seeing as there as a few worried people on here thought i'd help out. I am on my 4th letter from UKPC since beginning of September 09. I DID NOT RESPOND and i STILL HAVEN'T. The last but one letter said if i paid in the next 7 days they would take a discounted charge of £50 as a pose to £70. But if it wsn't paid it could rise to £200 etc... bla bla... The i had another letter 2 weeks after that stating the exact same, but adding that they were doing me a huge favour by still accepting £50 off me. That was around the end of november 09. My solicitor laughed when he heard. I am expecting more letters. But will not be doing anything about them . SAying that my rabbit needs new hutch paper to shred. KEEP IGNORING . and again thanks for the support xx:smile:

CP Plus and Ranger Services

Ref: #672/722/739 A final, I hope, note to my personal Parking Charge Notice pantomime. I have just received a very civil but useless justification from DVLA of their information disclosure policy following a request deemed to have 'reasonable cause'. It would seem that the request was made electronically by Ranger Services who have a written agreement with DVLA and are subject to 'audit procedures'. DVLA have been advised by Ranger Services that due to an administrative error the PCN was issued and has now been cancelled. Now, this may have been a simple 'typo' in the request to DVLA or something more sinister. Either way, CP Plus have backtracked smartly with a catchall apology hoping for no follow-up to identify the 'administrative error' and it's perpetrator, claims for harrassment damages or formal charges of obtaining money by deception. Perhaps most interestingly, Ranger Services and CP Plus share the same PO Box in Borehamwood, together with several other 'private parking enforcement agencies'. Perhaps DVLA should conduct a more rigorous audit, TS a formal investigation of the relationships and BBC Watchdog a complete public expose.

Finally, thanks again to all the experienced hands here and their priceless advice to those afflicted - keep up the good work!

Hi all, I received a £75 parking "fine" from UKCPS when I had parked at the side of a takeaway in the early hours of a sunday morning to collect a pizza. As usual, the pizza wasnt ready at the suggested time! When I returned to the car I found I had been issued this ticket and was in shock.

I read on the forums the best advice was to sit back and do nothing as I would receive letters once they had obtained the registration details from the DVLA. So I sat back....I have now received the following letter which I have attatched, and was just checking to see if this was the normal procedure for UKCPS and that I should continue to ignore the letters.

 

Thanks in advance

sorry about the thumbnail!

the letter says they have sent 2 reminders and

"By parking in the area you did you entered a contractual agreement to pay £75. plus £3 per day excess charges if payment was not received in 10 days.

You have clearly failed to honour this contract; therefore today I have prepared papers for court action to recover the amount due and any expenses incurred in recovery."

it then gives contact details and states "If we do not hear from you in 7 days of this letter we will proceed as outlined above. The amount now owing stands at £150 (capped). As a gesture of goodwill we will accept £120 as full and final settlement if sent within 7 days of this letter.

then it gives spiel about how ukcps is an etical company etc

 

After ignoring the first reminders I was just a little unsure as to continue ignoring these letters or send a response using the templates provided on here...?

I dont know where they get the figures from, but from reading the forums the £3 per day seems the standard accross the board for these companies. The line saying as a gesture of goodwill they would accept less, proves how desperate they are for the cash in my eyes.....but like others it was enough to put me in 2 minds whether to respond or not.....glad I havent.

cheers

They wrote to you because you are the Registered Keeper of the car. They have no idea who parked it there so how can they say "...you entered a contract...."?

You have clearly failed to honour this contract;

yep, coz you never made one :wink:

 

therefore today I have prepared papers for court action to recover the amount due and any expenses incurred in recovery."

so they often say. but they seem to be that useless at preparing papers, none of them ever seem to be prepared enough ever to go to court. :D

 

it then gives contact details and states "If we do not hear from you in 7 days of this letter we will proceed as outlined above.

what? they mean to carry on preparing papers coz it takes forever? Let them

 

The amount now owing stands at £150 (capped). As a gesture of goodwill we will accept £120 as full and final settlement if sent within 7 days of this letter.

A quick update. I was away for a few days and got home to a second letter from Parking Eye. Although they had originally told me I had until 14th January to pay the 'reduced £50 payment' the second letter was dated 11th January - so they didn't even wait to see if I paid by the 14th! The second letter also gives me a grace period in which I can pay £50 and this letter has photos of my car on it, with enlarged pictures of my number plate. The warning adds that 'If payment is not received we may pursue this matter through the appropriate channels.' but doesn't actually state what the 'appropriate channels' are!

 

I bet I'm supposed to be scared now! Thanks to this site (and the very helpful people on it), I'm not.

You have obviously worked out, correctly, that they do this on purpose with the hope of panicking people into paying for the increase 'deadline'.

 

The second letter also gives me a grace period in which I can pay £50 and this letter has photos of my car on it, with enlarged pictures of my number plate.

 

How nice, the photographs are evidence of nothing.

 

The warning adds that 'If payment is not received we may pursue this matter through the appropriate channels.' but doesn't actually state what the 'appropriate channels' are!

 

The usual, we may.

Well done sit tight and wait for your free toilet paper which they will be sending anytime soon.
