    • 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.

Hello seasidegirl,

 

What about your Subject Access Request?

 

Your dispute is with Halifax, Halifax need to discuss the matter with you, request the CCA again.

 

It seems that Iqor and Incasso have withdrawn until Halifax resolve the dispute, so that's a good thing for you.

 

Keep on at Halifax, in writing, until they start to deal with this matter properly.

 

I hope this will help you.

 

Kind Regards

 

The Mould

 

Should I write asking for the CCA and enclose a copy of the original request ?, I did enclose a PO with the first request and they did not send it back, or shall I do a new CCA request and send another £1 PO?

Or should I send the dispute letter again stating they have failed to supply the true signed CCA?

 

Thanks.

Send the request again (Enclose a copy of the original request) to Halifax, do not send them another £1.

 

Have Iqor and Incasso sent anything to you, I mean have they said they will put the account on hold and if so, for how long, or have they said they will cease pusuance?

 

Did you send a 'Subject Access Request' to Halifax?

 

A credit card statement is not the credit agreement.

 

OK, seasidegirl, up-date when you can.

Iqor and Incasso Have not been in touch since I sent the letters, I have not sent a subject access request to halifax, I did send the first CCA request and when this was ignored I sent the Dispute letter, I am now wondering if I should send the dispute letter to them again stating I have not had a reply from the CCA request from last year or as you say send another CCA request enclosing a copy of the first.

Whats the best route to take?

Thanks.

OK, seasidegirl,

 

I can see that you are off-line, when you pick this post up tommorrow, reply to it, and I will tell you what to do tommorrow with the Halifax.

 

In the morning (1 April), write a letter to Iqor and Incasso and request written confirmation from them that they have sent the file back to Halifax on this alleged debt, state to both of them, if you are not in receipt of written confirmation from them within seven (7) days, then you will report them to the Information Commissioners Office and start the process of legal action against them for unlawful holding of your personal data, ( And in Iqor's case, unlawful holding and processing of your personal data).

 

OK, you have said that Halifax have not responded to your CCA request since LAST YEAR, and also that your dispute letter has clearly been ignored.

 

Right, do not send another CCA request, Halifax have failed already to comply with the said request, Halifax are in criminal default of the Consumer Credit Act 1974, (Mention this in your letters to Iqor and Incasso).

 

You need to send a letter to Halifax, stating you do not acknowledge this alledged debt, and they are to remove all of your personal data on their internal system of records to this alledged account.

 

OK, seasidegirl, I will continue with this tommorrow, I am very tired at the moment, I hope you don't mind.

 

Get back to you in the morning.

 

 

Kind Regards

You need to send a letter to Halifax, stating you do not acknowledge this alledged debt, and they are to remove all of your personal data on their internal system of records to this alledged account. ok, seasidegirl, the Halifax have absolutely failed to provide you with a true copy of the credit agreement, Halifax have ignored that the 'Account is in dispute', and they have kept making demands for payment by using the third party DCA'S to enforce or exercise Halifax's legal rights.(Their failure to comply with your CCA request, means they have no legal rights)

In your letter you need to state to Halifax that you are going to report their ilegal activity to the OFT, FO, the ICO and the Financial Crimes Branch of HM Treasury, if they do not cease their debt -collection efforts against you for this alledged debt.

State to the Halifax that they are required to retain financial documents for at least five years after an agreement ends, pursuant to money laundering regulations. State to them, that their failure to keep a copy of the alledged credit agreement can be argued to be a breach of money laundering laws.

Inform Halifax that they have fourteen (14) days to respond in writing to you, and if there is no satisfactory response, then you will report them to the relevant authorities (Mentioned above).

DO NOT SIGN THIS LETTER IN INK, PRINT YOUR NAME ONLY -(ELECTRONICALLY).

OK, seasidegirl, I hope this will help you, please up-date, when you can.

OK, seasidegirl, I will continue with this tommorrow, I am very tired at the moment, I hope you don't mind.

 

Get back to you in the morning.

Hi, just an update, I sent the letters on the 7th April and have heard nothing from any of them.

Whats my next step?

 

Thanks.

 

 

Hello there seasidegirl,

 

Sorry I have only just recently noticed that you posted, I will get back to you tommorrow now as it is so late.

 

Halifax are really playing the you know what, they really are appalling, I will re-read through your thread tommorrow to refresh my mind and then post some further info for you.

 

Kind Regards

Hello seasidegirl,

 

I hope this communication finds you and your husband in good health.

 

Right then, firstly, telephone the Financial Ombudsman and ask them to send a communication to Halifax requesting the Halifax to open up a direct channel of communication with you, inform the ombudsman that you have an unresolved dispute/complaint with Halifax that has been going on since last year and that Halifax are refusing to acknowledge your complaint and refusing to communicate with you.

State that this disgraceful conduct of the Halifax is causing you and your husband to be subjected to needless and unnecessary high levels of stress and anxiety.

 

Secondly, telephone Iqor Recovery Services Ltd on this number -

 

01772 832002 and ask to speak with Ms Susan Myerscough, she is the complaints co-ordinator, and state to her that you want written confirmation from Iqor that your alleged account file has been returned to Halifax and also that you want written confirmation that Iqor have instructed Incasso LLP to withdraw and finally that Iqor are not going to unlawfully process your personal data any further.

 

Inform this complaints manager, that if you are not in receipt of the requested confirmation within the next 7 days, then you are going to take legal action against Iqor and their In -house solicitors Incasso for the unlawful holding and processing of your personal data, also inform this manager that you have brought your serious complaint to the attention of the Financial Ombudsman and the Financial Services Authority.

 

Did you send your letters to the Company Secretary of Halifax?

 

I would also advise you to make a Subject Access Request to Halifax and send it to their compliance department, you could phone Halifax and ask for the address of this department, do not send any written communication to the collections department or the card services department, include the £10 fee (Cheque or postal order) you want the whole data file on your personal details/information, they will have 40 days to comply.

 

Once you have informed the FOS, Halifax should start the communications with you directly.

 

At the moment it is quite possible that Iqor and Incasso have put your account on HOLD only, so it is important that you get that confirmation in writing from Iqor.

 

Halifax have not complied with your CCA request, for as long as this Non-Compliance continues Halifax cannot take any legal action or any action against you, Halifax are in criminal default of the CCA 1974.

 

You really do need your Subject Data File, if there is a credit agreement it will be in that file, you can then look at it to determine if it is flawed or not.

 

Print your name only on your SAR letter.

 

OK seasidegirl, I hope that will help you, come back to me if you need any further help or assistance.

 

Kind Regards

Thank you very much, I do appreciate all the help you have given us.

I will make the phone calls this morning and send the SAR off this afternoon or in the morning depending if I can get to the post office.

I will keep you informed.

 

Thanks again.

 

PS. Yes the letter did go to the company secretary of Halifax.

I rang the ombudsman, they are sending a letter to halifax and also some documents to me.

I rang Iqor but they have refused to send me confirmation regarding the file being passed back to Halifax, they said they cannot do that, they can only do that if Halifax ask them to, I did re-iterate that they have 7 days to send me written confirmation otherwise I will take legal action.

Iqor did say that the file was on hold and they have already sent me a letter regarding this on the 14th of this month (we have not received anything), I did ask her if this was sent recorded and she said no but she would send another one out today.

Anything else I should do?

 

Thanks.

Hello seasidegirl,

 

Well done for making those phone calls, Iqor are in the wrong and so too is Incasso, account on hold is not good enough, I will draft up a 'Letter Before Action' for you to use against those two dispicable companies, you can make any amendments that you wish to, when Halifax receive that communication from the Ombudsman, you should then only have to deal with the Halifax.

 

These banks, creditors and Dca's are going to get their come uppance, they all are really appalling, their behaviour is unacceptable and inexcusable.

 

OK seasidegirl, I will get that letter sorted out over the weekend and post it up for you when it is ready.

 

Kind Regards

Once again I thank you, I did find the telephone calls difficult to make but found myself wanting to do them, very strange :)

 

If you need to email me the letter I can send you my email via pm or just post the letter on the forum.

 

Thanks.

Hi, just a quick update, the 8 weeks are up now that FOS has said we should have a reply in.

We are filling in the next form that the FOS sent with the initial letter and will see what happens next.

We have heard nothing whatsoever from Halifax or any DCA.

 

I will keep you updated.

 

Thanks

Just a quick update, I received a collection letter from a different DCA last week, I have sent them a letter to explain the account is in dispute and not to contact me again other than to say they have passed the file back to Halifax, also been in touch with FOS again and they have passed it on to another department now because of Halifax's failure to comply.

 

Will keep you updated.

 

Thanks.
