    • I'll take a look in the loft - bear in mind it's 10-12 years ago, and we've had an extension built up there recently so hopefully I can find the folders they're in! 
    • Okay. Very scientific – but I think you have zero chance of getting if you take it to court. I think you will have to show actual loss and the court will think that you are trying to make a money grab. There could be a chance if you play very carefully to get 900 quid instead of the service – but that would be the maximum. If you bring a County Court action then I'm certain that you will win but the entire dispute will have done to a question of how much you are entitled to receive by way of compensation. It's up to you. If you want to see for £1900 then we will help you. However, you have to pay a claim fee based on the £1900 claim and then hearing fee based on the same amount if you go to trial. If I am right that you are awarded less then any costs you might be awarded will be based on the amount wanted to you – and not the value of your claim. I think you should be a bit more careful and realistic about what you want to claim – but it's up to you.
    • My story starts with being issued a windscreen PCN on 8/3/24 which was almost immediately removed and a second  PCN was then  sent by post on 13/3/24  [deemed delivered 15/3/24] which I did not receive and had to send an sar to have that particular mess revealed later  but that is not the reason for my complaint. UKPC then sent a Keeper Liability Notice dated 12/4/24 warning me that as 28 days have now elapsed, I as keeper am now liable for the charge.  This is in direct contravention of PoFA since the keeper does not become liable to pay until the day after the original PCN is deemed to have been given which would have been 13/4/24 -a Saturday ]. Not only does it not comply with PoFA but it fails to adhere to your Code of Practice and is in breach of their agreement with the DVLA.  I have included copies of both Notices for information. You will realise the seriousness of this situation if this is standard practice from the UKPCM to all motorists or just those where windscreen tickets are involved since the Law regarding PoFA is being abused and it is unfair to misguide motorists. I await your  response which I understand will usually be within a week.
    • It probably deletes after a certain time. What a shame you did not check at the time. However I have no doubt that there was a PCN envelope under your windscreen wiper  as shown quite clearly on one of the photographs. . It would seem strange that it was placed there empty hence the reason I stated a second Notice was issued [though not necessarily sent. As I said in that letter to IPC that was not what the complaint was about and probably  IPC will ask about that at the same time if they accept you  going direct to IPC for the other matter. It is immaterial how many original PCNs were issued or not issued. You are able to show the two that you have from their sar one of which coincides with the one you received in the post and that is the one that does not agree with the date times of PoFA. Thus breaching not only the Act, but also the IPC  Code of Conduct and the ability of UKPCM to obtain data from the DVLA. So leave that part of the letter as good to go. However as it is as Dave [Thank you Dave!} pointed out that it is UKPCM and not UKPCI have amended the letter and posted it below.

    • 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.

Folks - at 8.00am every morning for the last 2 weeks my wife has had a telephone call on her mobile phone from a company called RMA

 

"this is a very urgent call from RMA, please can XX XXXXXX call us back on this number as soon as she gets this message"

 

My wife calls them back but they can't identify her and they do not have any record of her - she tells them not to call and the next day the same thing happens - only ever on her mobile phone and never a letter.

 

I am guessing that this is a DCA who only have her mobile phone as a contact number - we moved house 6 months ago and they obviously have no record of our new address.

 

any suggestions?

 

Shold we hit them with the stop harassing us letter?

First NEVER talk to these "people" on the phone as they will try and get you to agree to anything.

 

Obviously you do not wish to give them your new address so at the minute writing to them to tell them to stop phoning is out of the question.

As you know its them who ring each morning at 8-00am I would switch off the answerphone service and when you see their number appear just press the reject button or put the phone on silent at let it appear to them to be ringing.

Thanks,

 

having done a bit of digging on this site it looks like RMA are a DCA used by Barclaycard. I am suprised that they have contacted us because we have been paying off that account through Mercers and are up to date with our payments.

 

Having read previous threads RMA look like a bunch of chancers who ignore CCA requests. I suggest that they are 'trying this on' as Mercers and Barclaycard both have our current address and phone number.

 

We will continue to ignore them

I would also suggest logging all calls in case you decide to make a complaint at a later date. As ODC says, i certainly wouldn't give them your address. The less info they have the better!!

I'm midway through the tunnel, but getting closer to the light.

 

 

 

Please be aware that i am not an expert in anything!

I may offer an opinion, but the final decision is yours.

Hi scooters,

 

You say she is being hassled on her mobile by these empty headed burger boys? Can I just ask what make and model of mobile she has?

 

The reason I ask is because, I have a Sony Ericsson K800i and they have a couple of cools features on.

 

1. When you are on a call you can record the call and and it saves directly to the phones memory or memory card. This can be played back later. Using this feature activates a small beep which can also be turned off so the numpty dumpty at the other end doesn`t know he/she or it are being recorded. First answer the call, disable tone then record.

 

2. They also have a feature of only accepting calls from numbers stored in the phonebook. So, say you have 36 names and numbers stored in the mobile. You tick each one you want to accept calls from and the phone will ring if the caller is on your list. Any other broken brained baboon`s backsides and it goes straight to VoiceMail. However, should this happen you could disable your VoiceMail.

 

Hope this helps.

 

Regards

It moves on -

 

RMA are now calling 2/3 times a day and giving us the "we don't send letters" line

 

- a letter from them turned up this morning - just mentios that they have sent us a default (we haven't seen one) and that they demand immediate payment.

 

I'm going to hit them with the CCA request and a telephone harrassment letter

Hi All.

 

I am having problems with RMA. I have an ongoing complaint with Barclays. I closed an account back in 1998 and now chasing me for overdraft fees. Don't know how as closed in 1998.

Anyway i have been recieving a lot of calls from RMA and have told them that Barclays are investigating my compalint ans they should talk to them as to where they are with it not me as i will not be paying anything untill its sorted. Got a mouthful of jargon from them but told them to talk to Barclays.

Recently i recieved a postcard form RMA stating that someone will be turning up at my home on Thursday between 8am - 8pm and if inconvenient to ring. As this day was not inconvinient for me i waited in all day. At 19.15 hoyrs i rang RMA asking where this person was as i would like to explain where i am with Barclays as i had the paper work out and a plate of nice biscuits for my visitor. I was told noone was turning up and it was just away for me to ring them and discuss. I asked to speak to the manager on duty and he informed me that he could cancel the person turning up. I said no as i ahve waited in all day and i still have 45 mins for him to turn up and he may want a cuppa after ahard days graft. He said he wont turn up as he just cancelled it. I then asked who will be re embersing me with a loss of a days wages becuase no one turned up. Oh the phone went dead. I did enjot the buscuits tho.

 

I rang RMA next day and asked if i could speak to R McCormack, was informed he does not work on phones, phone went dead again. I rang back asking if i could complian about the phone being put down on me and if R.McCormack if he existed could contact me. Person on other end said no. Anyone have any ideas where i stand? Please help.

Hi Scooters,

Your RMA problem sounds suspiciously like mine, which is also tied up with Barclays. I started being hassled by them in November and didn't know why. The I discovered that Barclays were claiming they'd sent me a default notice which I'd ignored, so they had passed my account to RMA. This was for a Mastercard, but I had been keeping up payments for 10 years and hadn't defaulted. The same thing occurred with the Barclaycard. They claimed I'd defaulted and passed it to Calders, which belongs to Mercers which are Barclays by another name. I never received any default notices, and am in the process of dealing with the whole thing.If you want to read about it, my thread is

Payment demand out of the blue. Help Please!

I've been given lots of really helpful advise by others on this forum and I'm sure you'll get the same. The most important thing to start with is never to speak to these people on the phone, no matter how tempted you feel.

RMA are very slippery characters, but there is strength in numbers here and we can all help one another to defeat these tinpot dictators.;)

All the Best, Patma

don't speak to them on the phone at all - do everything in writing. Before you say anything to them in writing or verbally consider this -

 

the debt is 10 years old if you have had no dealings with Barclays on the subject fot eh last 6 years (4 in Scotland ) then they lose the right to collect the debt.

 

have a look around this forum for more advise
