    • just to be clear here..... the DVLA do not send letters if a drivers licence address differs from any car's V5C that shows the same driver as it's registered keeper.
    • sorry she is a private individual, the cars are parking on her land. she can clamp the cars. only firms were outlawed from doing it bazza. thats what the victims of people dumping cars on their drives near airports did and they didn't not get prosecuted.    
    • The DVLA keeps two records of you. One as a driver and one for your car. If they differ you might find out in around a month when they will send you a reminder as well as to your other half for their car. If you receive nothing then you can be fairly sure that you were tailgating though wouldn't explain why they didn't pick up your car on one of drive past their cameras. However even if you do get a PCN later then your situation will not change. The current PCN does not comply with the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012 Schedule 4 which is the main law that covers private parking. It doesn't comply for two reasons. 1. Section 9 [2][a] states  (2)The notice must— (a)specify the vehicle, the relevant land on which it was parked and the period of parking to which the notice relates; The PCN states 47 minutes which are the arrival and departure times not the time you were actually parked. if you subtract the time you took to drive from the entrance. look for a parking place  park in it perhaps having to manoeuvre a couple of times to fit within the lines and unload the children reloading the children getting seat belts on  driving to the exit stopping for cars pedestrians on the way you may well find that the actual time you were parked was quite likely to be around ten minutes over the required time.  Motorists are allowed a MINIMUM of ten minutes Grace period [something that the rogues in the parking industry conveniently forget-the word minimum] . So it could be that you did not overstay. 2] Sectio9 [2][f]  (ii)the creditor does not know both the name of the driver and a current address for service for the driver, the creditor will (if all the applicable conditions under this Schedule are met) have the right to recover from the keeper so much of that amount as remains unpaid; Your PCN does not include the words in brackets and in 2a the Act included the word "must". Another fail. What those failures mean is that MET cannot transfer the liability to pay the charge from the driver to the keeper. Only the driver is now liable which is why we recommend our members not to appeal. It is so easy to reveal who was driving by saying "when I parked the car" than "when the driver parked the car".  As long as they don't know who was driving they have little chance of winning in court. This is partly because Courts do not accept that the driver and the keeper are the same person. And because anyone with a valid motor insurance policy is able to drive your cars. It is a shame that you are too far away to get photos of the car park signage. It is often poor and quite often the parking rogues lose in Court on their poor signage alone. I hope hat you can now relax and not panic about the PCN. You will receive many letters from Met, their unregulated debt collectors and sixth rate solicitors threatening you with ever higher amounts of money. The poor dears have never read the Act which states quite clearly that the maximum sum that can be charged is the amount on the signs. The Act has only been in force for 12 years so it may take a  few more years for the penny to drop.  You can safely ignore everything they send you unless or until they send you a Letter of Claim. Just come back to us if they do send one of those love letters to you and we will advise on a snotty letter to send them. In the meantime go on and enjoy your life. Continue reading other threads and if you do get any worrying letters let us know. 
    • Hopefully the ANPR cameras didn't pick up the two vehicles, but I don't think you're out of the woods just yet. MET's "work" consists of sending out hundreds of these invoices every week so yours might be a few days behind your partner's. There is also the matter of Royal Mail.  I once sold two second-hand books to someone on eBay.  Weirdly the cost of sending them separately was less than the cost of sending them in one parcel.  So to save a few bob I sent them seperately.  One turned up the next day.  One arrived after four days.  They were  sent from the same post office at the same time! But let's hope I'm being too pessimistic. Please update us of any developments.

    • 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.

I have had the same MBNA letter for all of my accounts...2 yesterday. It's just a means of reeling you in. You need to CCA them asap. Standard letters and 'rules' available on this site...just search.

 

Good luck!

 

Many thanks for the prompt reply. I will do the same for my other creditors.

PS When you don't contact them the follow up letter (4 weeks later) will ask you for circa 30% and tell you that this is a partial settlement. They will also threaten to default and sell your account which is why you must act and CCA them now.

 

The letters for the 40% offer also contained threats to sell the account on. I am guessing this is them trying to recover as much as they can and sign people on to enforceable agreements before it all goes wrong for them.

If it's the same as mine it will suggest that you borrow off a family member to settle the debt!!

 

You shouldn't respond to these as it's seen as sign that you're both willing to pay and also have the means to pay. CCA them and get a goods night sleep until they manage to produce a properly executed agreement...which won't be for a while...if at all!!

The 40% reduction offers are just a standard template letter. If you read them carefully it says something like 'we will not collect the balance'. They don't mention that you'll think it's been paid in full but they'll be selling the balance onto a DCA.

 

As WelshMam said - don't tell them you'd like to but you don't have the money, or anything similar. You could write and complain about the method used (ie contravening OFT guidelines), but it won't do any good aside from showing that you are willing to keep in contact (good if it ever gets to court). Otherwise, yes, just ignore it.

 

It seems to be nigh on impossible to get on a pp with them. You need to be paying enough to pay the balance off in 120 months, as they of course are goverened by USA laws. Or so they'll tell you. It's complete bow larks. If they wanted to accept a lower offer, as a company they could, they just choose not to.

 

They also don't stop interest/charges for ages despite knowing you are in financial trouble. Complete a**eh**es the lot of them.

Time flies like an arrow...

Fruit flies like a banana.

That's a good point, Welshmam. Thanks. :)

 

Think I'll start making noises to them about my doubts of their documents authenticity - which I was all set to do a month ago before wasting time on a cr*ppy time wasting shark of a lawyer.:rolleyes:

 

That's what I would be inclined to do UD.

 

I tend to keep things vague at first before going in for the kill. So you could even start by simply asking them if they are 100% certain that this is indeed a true copy of your agreement. You will have planted the seeds of doubt and if they come back and say 'yes' (more ammunition) then you can start highighting your specific concerns.

 

Good luck...:D

 

UD, as Welshmam says.. dont spell it out for them. Ask innocuous questions. Let them trip themselves up. Letters by lexis 200 are a good place to start she has a devious way of requesting information :D

I did all that – asked them outright if the application was copied exactly – they sold me on – think I hit a raw nerve.

I am waiting for 1ST Credit to pick up the baton – my plan now is to tell them that I believe I have been misled and will be reporting them to trading standards and the OFT to investigate – that’s if they want a fight that is.

I think TS is the only realistic option – if they smell fraud then they can prosecute and it’s not a civil matter either it’s a criminal one. Maybe a mass complaint to Cheshire TS will get the ball rolling.

hiya atwozee you know thats not too bad an idea, however, cl finance they would fall under the cheshire ts too do you think or have i got that wrong ? (this is for my ge accounts)

 

cos my letter i got from cl finance was copied for the ts area by my local area....and now they admitted that they had sent me wrong info firstly but now had sent me correct rear of agreement ie application form. but it contains pin info and my card does not support pin and as it was 2005 i smell a bit of concoction to match up previoulsy disputed section which now miracalously matches what i diputed before - if you get my drift!

 

sorry for hijacking your thread underdog

 

also to welshmam,,,i noted your earlier posting about the seed of doubt, i think this is what ive done and not heard from cl finance for quite a few months,,,,however, i always expect a court action letter in the post,,,,

 

so really i do need to follow this up again or should i just go for the kill with their ts area team???

 

something ive learned again today huge thanks,,,, see my thread

Thanks for that Atwozee - that's interesting to know. Who did you address your query to? I was wondering whether to contact MBNA's solicitors.

 

Great idea about the mass complaint - it must be harder to ignore dozens if not hundreds of people, surely?

Oh I agree, however being the largest employer in Cheshire.. I doubt TS will do anyrhing. In fact, I made my first complaint to them as have others and they just knock it back to local TS who of course, have no idea.

Got some developments that I am cautiously optimistic about:)

 

Have been in contact with a new lawyer - this one actually seems genuine, unlike the last shower; at least he's willing to talk to me without a fee upfront! Have heard some very good things about this guy, so here's hoping...

 

He has confirmed that if we can prove MBNA's (alleged:rolleyes:) cut and pasting, then they are guilty of financial fraud:D.

 

He suggests forming an action group and bringing a group action/defence - well we're halfway there with that; anyone interested in the group action?

 

He advises that it would be useful to acquire the services of a copy document technician - any one have any contacts, relatives, friends in the copy document field?

 

Further suggests requiring the company to hand over all paperwork regarding the development of its T+Cs over the years - it was possibly outsourced to a large firm of lawyers who are not going to mess around falsifying their files.

Find out whether each version of the T+C as used has to be registered with FSA [or someone] or some body keeps track of these changes.

Does anyone have copies of their application forms/agreements, or T&Cs - even blank historic ones? I know Blue squirrel has copies of his agreements, but does anyone else?

I have some historic T&Cs, how about anyone else?

I'm going to talk further with the solicitor, tomorrow if poss.

Any takers?:D

Hiya Underdog,

 

Nice to see you got some movement on this regarding a solicitor, seems to me that solicitors have not got the -alls to take on a big financial institution

 

I tried getting one yesterday without luck even though my case is now pretty solid regarding the fraudulent DN.

 

im gona be sending a few letters and try and find out why solicitors are not willing to enforce the cca 1974 for consumers.

 

I think its also a good idea to start a GLO on MBNA too as they are the biggest credit card provider buying up all the books from other providers and not insuring in that process that they have all relevant documents.

 

There must be many thousands of people in the uk that will now find themselves in financial difficulties and then find that they have a battle on there hands regarding lack of documentation.

 

MBNA,s fraudulent activity's are widespread i believe.

 

The fact that MBNA call sidestep all Protocols, CPR, CCA etc and railroad a claim to get a CCJ really gets me.

 

PF

 

When i am done with them its not gona stop there i will be actively seeking recourse.

Finally if you succeed with your claim please consider a donation to consumer action group as those donations keep this site alive.

 R.I.P BOB aka ROOSTER-UK you have always been a Gent on these boards and you will be remembered for that.
