    • 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.

firstly contact your bank and make sure that nothing else can be taken from your account by these people.

 

Secondly ask them for the contact information regarding the money (or what information they have.)

 

There are a number of "lending Groups" so you need to know which one has taken the money,

I recently applied for a loan and the lending group asked me for my bank card details for security reasons...i stupidly gave them.I told them that there would bbe no money in my account until the following week therefore not to try taking any money. Anyway,after 20 mins of the application,i rang them back and cancelled the application as i did not want to pay admin fees of £49.99.

The following week,i found out that they had taken £49.99 out of my account despite assuring me that wouldnt happen. When i rang them,i was told that it would take 3-5days as they have to find out weather the application was cancelled BEFORE or AFTER my money was taken out. I KNOW it was not taken until AFTER yet they are obviously going to try getting out of refunding my money. Thats not the worst of it....NOW..im overdrawn by yet another £49.99 as they are holding that until my next lot of money goes in...i have got new debit cards ect but they had actually authorised 2x £49.99 before i found out about all this. The bank tell me that they are aware of this company and are now sorting it out but can only sort out the second £49.99 that has taken me overdrawn so hopefully that`ll be the end of it. for anyone that wants to know...the lending group told me to ring the manager (of the loan supermarket) on 0800 019 5626 and he goes by the name Mr Iky...he`s the one thats apparently sorting it out ect but i wont hold my breath!

Its not `money`supermarket...its `loan`supermarket...there is actually a `money`supermarket online and they have put a notice up on their site explaining about people ringing them and complaining when its a different company...as far as im aware,moneysupermarket is legit. the loan supermarket number is the same number you have above! and they are dodgy as i have recently found out myself...my comment is below.

Hi all the same thing has happened to me I was looking for a loan and I had a phone call and to be quite honest I never remembered apllying for one with them. They called anyway and made me believe that I had got the loan and that alll they needed was a few more details to finalise my loan which i gave them he then went on to say that he needed my bank details well i just assummed they were so i could have the money deposited into my account but after giving them to him he said I then needed to pay £49.99 but I just said I couldnt afford to pay it was I dont get pai till 28th and plus I couldnt afford to go ahead and pay it anyway. And he just said Ill call again next week see if I wanted to go ahead but I just said no I wouldn't. So I have checked my account and they have taken it. I just can't believe it I dont have much as it is and It has now left me short for my rent. I have used the number on here but get no answer and have no idea what to do now? any help please?:evil:

Hi guys yippee I have finally managed to speak to those lovely people at The Lending Group I had a miss call from Loan Supermarket and I saw it was mentioned above so I Phoned them back, turns out the lending group our a sister group to the loan supermarket I explained what happened and they put me through to some Indian man there. Can you believe these people there excuss for taking my money was because they were unable to contact me to finalise things so they went ahead and did it! I just cant believe they did it what sort of people our these. So if your trying to get hold of them without any luck try calling the loan supermarket on 07891589021 they should put you through if you explain you can not get through to the lending group, and good luck getting your money back! I have told them if i do not have a loan 100% within 5 working days i will be reporting them to FSA and Trading Standards and I advise all you who has had the same thing happen to them do the same we need to stop this happening to others!:)

Hi tom650

 

Perhaps you would like to give us more detail of your loan who's it with & the APR etc:

 

Have you been here before perhaps praising any other such firm?

I'm sure a mod can confirm one way or the other but we can't be too careful especially about those who having just joined praise such firms in their very 1st post.

I have since spoken again to the lending group,to the manager apparently,calling himself Mr Iky. He told me that they cannot refund my money until head office has sorted it out...they want to find out if i cancelled the application before or after the money went out of my account...i applied on 27th jan...i cancelled on 27th jan...the money went out on 29th jan...as it shows on my bank statement. they tell me it is now a `dispute` so i asked how it could be a dispute,they [EDIT] took my money and i want it back,end of. tomorrow,my weekly money goes into my account and yet another £49.99 is waiting to be taken so before i even get outta bed tomorrow morning,ive lost another £49.99,luckily my bank is now doing something about the second payment thats due to go out tomorrow but why should i have to go through all this in the first place? [EDIT] Oh and just to add insult to injury...when i rang them again friday...they told me i couldnt speak to the manager `mr iky` as he was away on holiday til next tuesday...no doubt our hard earned money that hes [EDIT] taken is paying for that.

Well ive tried to contact Mr Iky yet again but he seems to be permanently busy! Ive had several arguments with anyone and everyone that answers the phone and said i cant believe that the whole company relies on one person called MR IKY...to refund payments that weve made and told them ive contacted finance ombudsman,CAB,Watchdog,OFT and so on....but the only reply i get is...you have to speak to Mr Iky!!!

Its like talking to a bunch of robots that are programmed to say very few words!

Anyway...i will keep trying as i told them...im like a dog with a bone and i wont let this go...its not about the money anymore...its the fact that ive been screwed over...i will keep bugging them everyday...atleast whilst im on the end of the phone...they cant receive another call on that line from another victim! watch this space...................

I've had the same problem they took two lots of £49.99 from my account on the same day. I've just spoken to them a told them I want the money back straight away, they told me "their refunds policy is for me to send my bank statements in..." I cut the woman off and told her that if the money is not back in my account within 3 days I'd been speaking to the police. She said....." ok they money will be in your account in 2-3 days" I'll see what happens & keep you posted.
