    • The incident was 03rd March 2024 - and that was the only letter that I have received from MET 15th April 2024 The charge I paid was at the Stansted Airport exit gate (No real relevance now - I thought this charge was for that!!).   Here is the content of email to them (Yes I know I said I was the driver !!!!) as said above -  I thought this charge was for that!! "Stansted Airport" Dear “To whom it may concern” My name is ??  PCN:  ?? Veh Reg: Date of Incident: 03rd March 2024 I have just received a parking charge final reminder letter, dated 10th April 2024 - for an overstay.  This is the first to my knowledge of any overstay. I am aware that I am out of the 28 days, I don’t mean to be rude, this feels like it is a scam My movements on this day in question are, I pulled into what looked like a service station on my way to pick my daughter and family up from Stansted airport. The reason for me pulling into this area was to use a toilet, so I found Starbucks, and when into there, after the above, I then purchased a coffee. After which I then continued with my journey to pick my daughter up. (however after I sent this email I remember that Starbucks was closed so I then I walked over to Macdonalds) There was no signs about parking or any tickets machines to explains about the parking rules. Once at Stansted, I entered and then paid on exit.  So Im not show where I overstayed my welcome.. With gratitude    
    • Just to enlarge on Dave's great rundown of your case under Penalty. In the oft quoted case often seen on PCNs,  viz PE v Beavis while to Judges said there was a case for claiming that £100 was a penalty, this was overruled in this case because PE had a legitimate interest in keeping the car park free for other motorists which outweighed the penalty. Here there is no legitimate interest since the premises were closed. Therefore the charge is a penalty and the case should be thrown out for that reason alone.   The Appeals dept need informing about what and what isn't a valid PCN. Dummies. You should also mention that you were unable to pay by Iphone as there was no internet connection and there was a long  queue to pay on a very busy day . There was no facility for us to pay from the time of our arrival only the time from when we paid at the machine so we felt that was a bit of a scam since we were not parked until we paid. On top of that we had two children to load and unload in the car which should be taken into account since Consideration periods and Grace periods are minimum time. If you weren't the driver and PoFA isn't compliant you are off scot free since only the driver is liable and they are saying it was you.

    • Doubt the uneconomic write off would be registered, unless you agreed to accept write off settlement of the claim. It is just cosmetic damage. All that has happened, is that the car has been looked at and they realised the repair costs are going to exceed the value of the car. If the car is perfectly driveable with no upcoming normal work required to pass next MOT, your current Insurers will continue Insurance and you can accept an amount from third party Insurers to go towards you repairing the scratched bodywork.

    • 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 All,

 

Yet more problems :-(

 

Have been dealing with cleaning up my fiancee's credit record and just about there. All defaults have fallen off her record, a court decree has been satisfied but will fall off her ecord in about a year's time. The only outstanding issue is that of two crdit searches associated with an unpaid debt.

 

Having done some digging, it turns out that one of the searches is related to a store card she had (Which was one of the defaults which have fallen off), the store card was a Dorothy Perkins one from way back in 2002 which would be statute barred now. My question is how do I go about getting the search removed. Equifax have said they can't remove it without BCW's permission (I have reminded Equifax of their responsabilities under the DPA) and BCW have told them the account is not in dispute (Over than it is statue barred now!!!)

 

I'm just wondering what course of action I should take now? Is it worth while CCAing BCW and see what we get back?

 

Also, there is a second search listed by Aktiv Kapital for which we have no information, they have requested that we phone them, is it worthwhile CCAing them too?

 

Any help is greatly appreciated.

 

 

Cheers

PS Anyone got any ides on how to handle Equifax????

 

PPS Just noticed that the two letters have the same reference number, i.e. they're the same debt!!!

Hiya,

 

The searches will have no bearing on your CF as these should be seen as unrecorded searches,

 

if you want them removed then you will need to send a letter of complaint to the data controllers

Hi Ida

 

These are table 1 searches which do show up on your credit record and have an adverse effect on your credit rating. Ones for unpaid debts stay for two years and are accessble for all who can search your file.

 

As it happens, Equifax say they don't have the permission to remove them; as seen in my attachments :-(((

 

I've sent the usual don't know this debt letters to Aktiv and BCW and also away to send CCA requests tomorrow.

 

Just wondering if anyone else had any thoughts?

 

 

Cheers,

Yeah, fired them off today :-)

 

Also got this back from Equifax:

 

Dear

 

I am sorry to learn that the response to your recent Notice of Dispute was not satisfactory. I acknowledge your comments; however I must advise that as the company concerned has not provided Equifax with authorisation to amend or remove the disputed information from your Credit Report, this currently remains unchanged. I can only advise that should you wish to query this matter further that you contact the company concerned. Any documentary evidence regarding this information is held by the lender.

 

If however, you wish to make a complaint, please note our regulatory body is

 

Information Commissioner’s Office

Wycliffe House

Water Lane

Wilmslow

Cheshire

SK9 5AF

 

Kind regards

 

Wendy Morris

Customer Relations Customer () 17/06/2009 08.57 AM Regardless of whether Aktive Kapital claim to have my permission to process MY data, YOU have still not provided proof positive that the searches are legitimite and that the companies in question have my permission to process MY data as per the data protection act; mearly claiming that they do is insufficient as per the Data Protection Act.

 

Need I remind you that it is YOUR responsibility as a DATA CONTROLLER as per the Data Protection Act to ensure that the data you hold on me is relevant, accurate and most importantly been acquired legally, i.e. the companies in question have my explicit, written permission to process my data. Need I also remind you that if the data you hold on me is neither relevant, accurate or been acquired legally then it is YOUR responsibility to ammend it and that if you choose not to it is YOU that I complain about to the Information Commissioners Office and to Trading Standards.

 

Furthermore if you cannot substatiate the claims you make about me via my credit record, this would be tantamount to defamation and I would then be forced to seek recourse through the courts to have the incorrect data removed and for appropiate compensation awarded.

 

Finally I request that you give me the address that correspondence can be sent to your data controller as I feel that I have no other course of action but to issues a section 10 statiatory notice to yourselves.

 

 

Kind Regards

 

 

 

Anyone any thoughts???

 

 

Cheers,

Subscribing to this if you don't mind - I've got the exact same problem with Equifax. i'm just putting together my first letter to them to request the removal of the multiple searches from DCAs (yet no debt on my file) but I fully expect to receive a an uncooperative response. There seem to be a few Caggers with similar issues.

However the debt is stat barred anyway :-) Does anyone have any suggestions on how to word a letter to AK telling them that the debt is stat barred thus unenforceable and to stop place searches against my fiancee's name????

 

 

Cheers,

you could edit this:

 

Dear Sir/Madam

Acc/Ref No 4563210025897412

You have contacted me regarding the account with the above reference number, which you claim is owed by myself.

I would point out that under The Prescription and Limitation (Scotland) Act 1973 Part 1 Section 6 "If, after the appropriate date, an obligation to which this section applies has subsisted for a continuous period of 5 years:

(a) without any relevant claim having been made in relation to the obligation, and

(b) without the subsistence of the obligation having been relevantly acknowledged,

then as from the expiration of that period the obligation shall be extinguished:"

I would also point out that the OFT say under their Debt Collection Guidance on statute barred debt that "it is unfair to pursue the debt if the debtor has heard nothing from the creditor during the relevant limitation period".

The last acknowledgement of this alleged debt was made over five years ago. Unless you can provide evidence of payment or written contact from myself in the relevant period under Part 1 Section 6 of The Prescription and Limitation (Scotland) Act 1973 , I would respectfully suggest that you are no longer able to take any court action against myself to recover the alleged amount claimed.

Should you continue to pursue this account without providing this evidence I shall seek an interdict and damages accordingly. A formal complaint will also be made to Trading Standards along with a report to the OFT questioning your fitness to hold a consumer credit license.

 

Please note you may also consider this letter a statutory notice under Section 10 of the Data Protection Act to cease processing any data in relation to this account with immediate effect. This means you must remove all information regarding this account from your own internal records and from my records with any credit reference agencies including any defaults. Should you refuse to comply, you must within 21 days provide me with a detailed breakdown of your reasoning behind continuing to process my data. It is not sufficient to simply state that you have a ‘legal right’, you must outline your reasoning in this matter and state upon which legislation this reasoning depends.

Should you fail to respond within 21 days, I will expect that this means you agree to remove all such data.

 

I await your written confirmation that this matter is now closed and that no further contact will be made concerning the above account after that last letter.

I look forward to your reply.

Yours faithfully
