    • 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.

Hi, I am currently in the middle of the CCA process with Iqor, who are acting on behalf of Lowell.

 

I CCA'd them and the letter was signed for on 9th February 2008. The 12 working days was up on 26th February, and now I'm waiting on the calendar month deadline to expire.

 

I received a letter from them dated 21st February, which basically said that they have passed my request to their client (lowell I presume) for their urgent attention. They also stated that they had put the account on hold while they await confirmation from their client that my request has been actioned.

 

Well today I have checked my credit file and a default has been registered on my file on 24th February 2008 - 2 days before the 12 days expired.

 

This account wasn't on my file when I checked it in January after getting the original letter from Iqor.

 

Can they (Iqor or Lowells) register a default whilst the account is 'on hold' pending further information.

 

What can I do? I'm positive they wont have a true copy of the CCA agreement. Do I wait until the calendar month is up before highlighting this issue?

 

Thanks in advance

I'm shamelessly bumping this up again, as the calendar month deadline is today and I've received nothing.

 

I was wondering if there is a letter I can send to let them know they should not contact me again, and also to remove the default they have so nicely placed on my credit file.

Further to the above, I have received this letter this morning - as far as they are concerned thats the end of it.

So how do I respond? Bearing in mind their continual updating of my credit file only began in February after they received my CCA request.

I've already sent a complaint to the CRA - only equifax has replied as yet - their advice was to purchase some of their products.:mad:

 

All advice gratefully received.

Iqor are doing a great job of distancing themselves from Lowell. got this letter today, along with my £1 PO.

My last correspondence to them was to request that they cease processing my data.

Does the fact that my PO was returned mean I now have to CCA Lowell and start again?

Incidentally have already sent my complaint about Lowell to the FOS and the ICO.

 

Dear Madam,

 

Further to our letter dated 21/02/2008 we are writing to up date you as to the progress of our request for a copy of your credit agreement. We have made our Client, Lowell, aware of your request for a copy of your credit agreement on 21-02-2008. We have reminded our Client of your request on a number of occassions but the copy agreement has not been provided to us to date.

We have now closed the account on our system and returned control of this file to our Client, Lowell. We understand that our Client will contact you directly regarding this matter. (they've already sent me their final response)

Please find enclosed your postal order valued £1.00 that we are returning to you uncashed.

Please be assured that we had no intention of causing any upset in our attempts to contact you to discuss repayment of the above-mentioned account. (sure you didn't)

iQor Recovery Services Ltd. has acted in good faith and on our Clients instructions in our attempts to collect the balance that our Client believes to be outstanding.

WE trust that this matter is now resolved, however, should you wish to discuss the matter further may we respectfully suggest that you contact our Client directly using the reference number shown above.

 

Yours sincerely

For and on behalf of iQor Recovery Services Limited

 

Susan Myerscough (hand-written proper signature)

Complaints Coordinator

Let it run, Lowells know that you requested it and you have a letter telling saying this. my bet is it will now go quiet.

 

Will it be worth CCAing the O/C now? this way you will know if if they have one or not
