    • The postcode is an important point. You cannot be in two postcodes at the same time and the contract only covers the F area and not the E area where Met placed your car. See there is some   advantages in with idiots.🙂 The other fact about the electric spaces is that as you are not allowed to park there, the sign is prohibitory so cannot  offer a contract anyway. and another biggie in your favour is you were not the driver and the PCN does not comply with PoFA. I had another look yesterday at the PCN and there is another error since it does not say that the driver is responsible to pay the charge during the first 28 days. Schedule 4 Section 9 [2][b] (b)inform the keeper that the driver is required to pay parking charges in respect of the specified period of parking and that the parking charges have not been paid in full; so that is another nail in their coffin and it s something I would include in  your WS since that is one that every Judge would accept as a failure to comply. As far as their WS is concerned some of them leave it to the last minute to prevent Defendants being able to counteract their claims. However if they leave it too late [ie after the stipulated time] you can email yours to the Court on the last day and complain at the bottom of your WS that you have not received it and therefore you are asking the Court not to accept their WS. In your case it isn't that important since you have a virtual walkover in Court. I would be surprised if they don't concede beforehand. It is a lost cause for them. Not that I would advocate parking in their electric bay in future with a petrol driven car again.🙂
    • I think the post code 0 v O is nonsense personally and would just annoy the judge.  Cases are decided informally at small claims and judges are not interested in the weakest of trivialities. Understood re FY v EY.  So add to the Unfair PCN section that the PCN includes the wrong post code and places you at a residential area rather than the car park in question. You should wait till 7 June before filing your WS - as a Litigant-in-Person you wont't be penalised for being a day late - to see if MET's WS turns up.  It will also give you a chance to see if they have paid the hearing fee.  If it doesn't turn up you can attack them for defying court directions.  If it does turn up you can ridicule their arguments.  Win win. Also you can see if they have bottled it - which they have done with the last two cases we have here. I think the exact points of your WS have become a tad confusing - and I have heartily contributed to the confusion! - so can you please add the latest version.

    • Thank you Dave for jumping in yesterday and advising not to send off the letter I wrote. I am sorry Clou but I thought at the time that both car parks were owned by Alliance. Before doing a snotty letter does anyone in your family able to alos drive your car apart from yourself and are you the keeper?
    • Thanks for this. UPS never said they delivered to the wrong address. Tracking just showed as delivered. EBay couldn’t find it for weeks and then said they found it and it had chocolate in it. Something clearly doesn’t add up here.
    • Try to think things through logically & legally - the two go together as the civil court system in England is pretty decent and easy to get your head round. 1.  Say you & I got into legal dispute.  Who could sue who?  Well I could sue you and you could sue me.  My next-door neighbour couldn't sue you and your best mate couldn't sue me because the case would have nowt to do with them.  The same goes for a DCA.  It's not their debt.  They can do nothing. 2.  Of course a DCA can't affect your credit score.  If they could, then there would be nothing stopping you picking on someone you dislike, saying they owed you a billion pounds, and affecting their credit score.  Logically there must be more to it than some daft allegation.  CCJs are issued and credit scores wrecked after a judge has decided on the matter and the losing party has still refused to pay.  With nine grand in play the matter will not magically go away but you need to gen up and seperate daft threats from paper tigers from concrete threats which could really cause you trouble. The others are right - you need to inform the original creditor of your address in order to avoid a backdoor CCJ. Also, why did you decide not to sue UPS who have admitted to delivering to the wrong address which in turn led to the theft of your goods?

    • 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 had a c card and I ended up defaulting on it. I went to CCCS and they set up a debt management plan for me just over 12 months ago.

I have been making my payments. However, I got a letter out of the blue from Cap Quest DCA telling me that they had bought the debt. The amount they quoted I owed was higher than the debt was before I started the DMP. Over £8800.

After looking at this forum I have now sent Cap quest a CCA request using one of the templates.

Today have just got a letter from skycard telling me they have sold my debt.

 

My question are;

 

Can I pursue skycard to reclaim the 'charges' and other adjustments they have added?

 

If so, how do I do it?

 

What should my next action with Cap Quest be?

Thanks

if skycard put sonme unlawfull charges on your credit card yes you can reclaiming them bu ti will be carefull there as you said the ammount between skycard and your DCA are different. if i was you i will CCA the DCA asking for a statement of affair and a deed of assignment. However, iff you pursue this you will admit that you owed this ammount of money if i were you i will wait a bit and see what they come up with your CCA and yur deed of assignment ? did you receive a default notice also from skycard?

 

skycard may have sold the debt but they still have to provide your CCA as you have requested it .

 

if you wan to pursue them then if you don't how much exactly and what typeof charge then iadvise that you SAR them in order toknow exactly how much they have charge you.

 

i hope this help

If you have CCAd CapQuest then just sit & wait as they will be in default of CCA regs once 12 working days has passed & no CCA. This means they shouldn't pursue you until they have complied with your request.

 

In theory, even if you are in a DMP creditors can continue to add interest & charges to your account although obviously part of CCCS role is to try to negotiate this with them. You probably can't do anything about the interest if it's correct ( should be able to check this on your original agreement ), but if there are any possibly illegal charges on there you can try to reclaim them.

 

If CapQuest do manage to comply with CCA & your balance turns out to be correct ( bit of a stretch I know but it has been known to happen ), just refer CapQuest to CCCS as CCCS are your appointed 3rd party. Under OFT debt collection guidance rules CapQuest should not be refusing to deal with an appointed 3rd party ie they should leave you alone.

 

Good luck & keep us posted:)

Thanks for your comments. However I informed CCCS that I had received a letter from CapQuest and they said they would transfer to them.

 

Should CCCS pay them or should I ask them to hold it?

I have sent a request for CCA by recorded delivery.

 

I have now just received a letter from skycard stating... we have sold your debt to cap quest blah blah blah. This arrived 5 days after cap quest started phoning!

 

What should I do with Skycard aka Barclaycard? SAR?

  • 3 weeks later...

Just got a letter today dated 20th November stating that further to my communications they will accept payments of £38 per month from me.

 

I can only assume that the CCCS who manage my DMP have contacted them.

 

I sent them a request for CCA recorded on 1st Nov and I have not had anything back.

 

Should I write to them? what should I say?

Should I contact the CCCS and ask them not to pay capquest.

 

Capquest are asking £2000 more than the original debt with Skycard.

 

Should I send a SAR to Skycard (Barclaycard)?

 

Can anyone advise

Thanks:confused:

Just got this email back from cccs:

Dear

The only contact we have with your creditors is making payments and also issuing financial statements,

If you have requested a copy of your original credit agreement and also a break down in charges and they haven't replied I would advise you get in touch with the financial ombudsman on 0845 0801800 or access there website on

Financial Ombudsman Service

They should be able to advise you on the correct legal proceedings

 

I hope this helps

Please keep us informed with what happens

Regards

Support Counsellor

Can anyone advise what I should now do please.

I then started getting phone calls form capquest NON STOP!

 

I have checked with the CCCS and they have paid them evey month.

 

Can anyone advise what I should do?

 

A-with capquest who have added a lot more to the amount owed.

crapquest tried dumping interest and stuff on mine i told em point blank i aint paying it. have you thought about dumping cccs, usually a lot of these debts are unenforcable in court, if so you can concentrate on the ones that are enforcable and tell the ones that aint to take long walk off a short pier :D
