    • 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.

Hello Everyone,

 

Please can I ask for some advice...

 

I have a CC with a very high balance. I have CCA'd them, they responded in accordance with procedure and the agreement has been checked and is enforceable.

 

They have had I&E sheets and a wage slip. I have been making my reduced payment on time. I have spoken with them (I know I shouldn't) on the phone 4 weeks ago and they said they would get back to me with regard supending interest and charges and accepting my reduced payment.

 

What worries me is that I haven't heard anything back from them and wonder if they are just holding on to my account for as long as possible to rack up what I owe them. (interest alone is several hundred pounds)

 

As my balance is very high compared to my income and token payment I was thinking is the reason why I havent heard anything beacuse it is being sold on to a DCA?

 

Anyway I thought about sending this letter would it be wise?

 

 

Dear Credit Card Company

 

Following my last written communication to yourselves dated 29th June 2009 and sent to you recorded delivery complying with your request for up to date income & expenditure information including a wage slip to be sent, it is disappointing and concerning that I have had no communication back from you.

 

Furthermore in response to your letter dated 23rd June 2009 in which you state

‘we are not looking to make unreasonable demands of you. We seek from you an arrangement that you can afford and maintain’

 

I have again complied with this and discussed my situation with one of your advisors via the telephone on the 10th July 2009. I still haven't heard back from you.

 

 

It concerns me that you are allowing my account to profit yourselves by adding interest and charges and making my situation even more dire.

 

This certainly isn’t the action I would have expected following your statement in your aforementioned letter.

 

I look forward to hearing from you promptly.

 

Yours faithfully

I would threaten them with reporting them to FOS also... as part of banking code they sign up to investigate and help people in financial difficulty, FOS will make them reply with a response to your request for reduced repayments, it may not be in the positive but they will ensure you get a response at least.

I think you should remove your name lovey, when I first came on here I put my name on it, and someone told me that you get fishers on here also from DCAs and Original creditors.

Just a tip hun.

From past experience, they should have suspended and ceased all interest and charges when the arrangement was made.

As you have come into an arrangement with them, they automatically default you.

But I am also sure that I have read somewhere that you can get your default removed in they defaulted you due to their charges and interest, maybe someone will come along soon to elaberate, I may have got it wrong, but I am sure that I read that somewhere.

Also, I wouldn't bother trying to be so polite with them.

Be firm with them, you've done nothing wrong, though they like to try and make you feel as though you have. You haven't brokem any laws, and you have more rights then you probably think and the governments would like you to know.

 

Hope this helps, even just a little.
