    • 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, been a while since I posted on here, really hoping for the same support an advice I received last time :-) Long, long story for us, but basically through bad choices, bad luck and bad advice ended up in an IVA in 2016. The accounts involved all defaulted, to be expected. In 2018, I got contacted by an 'independent advisor' advising me that I shouldn't be in an IVA, that it wasn't the solution for our circumstances and that they would guide us through the process of leaving the IVA and finding a better solution. I feel very stupid for taking this persons advice, and feel they prey on vulnerable people for their own financial gain (it ended with us paying our IVA monthly contribution to them)-long and short of it our IVA failed in 2018. At the same time the IVA failed we also had our shared ownership property voluntarily repossessed (to say this was an incredibly stressful time would be an understatement!) When we moved to our new (rented) property in August 2018, I was aware that creditors would start contacting us from the IVA failure. I got advice from another help website and started sending off SARs and CCAs request letters. I was advised not to bury my head and update our address etc and tackle each company as they came along. Initially there was quite a lot of correspondence, and I still get a daily missed call from PRA group (and the occasional letter from them), but not much else. However, yesterday i had a letter through from Lowell (and one from Capital One) advising that they had bought my debt and would like to speak with me regarding the account. There will be several.of these through our door i suspect, as we did have several accounts with Capital One. Capital One have written to us with regular statements over the last 5 years, and my last communication with them was to advise of of our new address (June 2019), I also note that all of these accounts received a small payment in Jan2019 (i'm assuming the funds from the failed IVA pot). Really sorry for the long long post, but just thought id give (some of) the background for context.... I guess my question at the moment is.....how do I respond to Lowell...do I wait for the inevitable other letters to arrive then deal with them all together or individually...? Do I send them a CCA?  Many thanks

    • 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 started this thread 5 years ago but I never actually completely resolved my debt problem.

 

The only correspondence I have had regarding this debt since 2009 is a statement of account each year

showing the balance (which is the same every time) it doesn't actually ask for payment but the prospect of them doing so is bothering me.

 

Does anyone know how successful they would be in getting the CCJ enforced after 14 years?

 

I am concerned that they may have been biding their time until I was in a better financial position (In their opinion)

and if they did get it enforced would they have to do it for both debtors or just me?

 

I still have the documents from the SAR and wondered if someone would take a look at them for me.

As has been said before, if they want a courts help re the CCJ they got in 2000,

they would have to make an application to them.

 

Although the CCJ does not die as such,

I believe they have 6 years to enforce the judgement

and if they don't do it within the 6 years, a Judge is unlikely to extend.

 

I would think there is not much chance of this debt coming back to trouble you.

 

They might send you an annual statement,

but this is just so they can evidence contacting you.

 

The tricky bit for them is taking the matter back to court.

We could do with some help from you.

I tried to get a solicitor to have a look for me but they wanted £500 upfront which isn't affordable for me.

 

 

They have had me address since 2008 and done nothing at all to enforce, they also had my address within the 6 year time period (2003) but did nothing with it.

 

 

Suppose I am just spooked again by getting another statement!

Hi

If they tried to enforce the CCJ, they would have to go back to court and they would have to give you notice. You can them object to the enforcement. Unless there are really, really good grounds, no judge is going to allow the enforcement. They have had plenty of time to get their 'bite of the cherry' so really, stop worrying over this.

 

They will struggle and this letter is just another trick up their sleeves to disturb you. Don't let it.

If you are asked to deal with any matter via private message, PLEASE report it.

Everything I say is opinion only. If you are unsure on any comment made, you should see a qualified solicitor

I have found discussions on other forums.

 

this states that if the claimant tried to enforce the ccj within the 6 years

then a judge would have no problem in enforcing it at any time afterwards!

 

From the transcripts I have, they initially tried enforcing it with my ex from 2000-2003

on a couple of occasions, then in 2003, it said they would try and pursue me.

 

Then nothing recorded until 2006,

where they were apparently trying to trace us both again

(despite knowing our addresses in 2003).

 

Debt was sold in 2005 to asset link,

who found me in 2008, wrote to me in 2009 and just annual statements since.

 

http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?398807-CCJ-aged-over-6-years

 

and this one, one of the posters had his enforced,

but he had been paying it for 10 years and the DCA wanted a redetermination of payments

if I am reading it correctly

 

I am obsessively googling this as it seems there are previous cases

where a judge has enforced old judgments. Really frightening me now!

please refrain from posting links to external sites without permission.

 

i'll pointout some of those threads are really 'doubtful'

 

I can guarantee 100% tht if link have this debt then its as dead as a dodo.

 

there no-way a DCA can ever get it back into court

 

they were not the claimant

and the claimant had 6yrs to sort the issue out.

 

you are on a phishing list

 

that's the bottom dollar here

and because theres an old CCJ knocking around

these DCA's think they have a magic bullet on debtors

 

they DONT.

 

esp where LINK is concerned.

 

pers i'd forget all about it.

Sorry, I hope I am not coming accross as ungrateful for advice. I have read around the forum about this company and its a familiar story it seems. Just wish I could get it wiped out in some way as its currently affecting my mental health.

if a creditor or dca 'thinks' they own a debt that's due

they are duty bound to send a statement of account once in 12mts.

 

that's all it is.

 

doesn't mean anything is owed.

On one of the links I posted (but shouldn't have) i have had notification of a reply that states they are unaware of any court not allowing the renewal of a ccj of any age in recent years!

 

You mentioned them threads may be dubious, what did you mean?

My own fault for asking the same question in different places but I am now confused!

 

I have also been reading an old thread on here with regards to a court granting a charging order 16 years after judgement and that there is apparently no time restriction on this!!

 

Now i am worried this may happen to me, my ex will get away with it as hes not a home owner and my husband and children will be the ones made to suffer.

 

God I feel sick over all this!

I know this is an old thread and I have started my own, however, this has spooked me a fair bit!

I have a 14 year old ccj and so does my ex for a joint home improvements loan. Apart from annual statement of accounts they have not asked for payment since 2009 which is when I discovered I had the ccj from 2000.

 

After reading this thread I am starting to think that I should do something about this rather than leave it and one day they decide to act but I have no idea on how to proceed or maybe I should follow the advice given on my thread.

opps no good

 

you need to make a multi page word doc of them

 

THEN convert that to a PDF

 

**you can post up images/letters by this method immediately..you don't need 10 posts**

.

set your default scan page size to A4 less than 300DPI [150 will do]

scan the required letters/agreements/sheets - as a picture[jpg] file

don't forget you can use a mobile phone or a digital camera too!!

'

BUT......

ENSURE: remove all pers info inc. barcodes etc

but leave all monetary figures and dates.
