    • Hi everyone, Thanks for the responses. Just a few follow up questions in light of what's been said:   If I dont appeal to PPM, who can I appeal to?   Why should the PCN been attached to the windscreen? Is this written in law?   I assumed the document I had received was the NTK, if this is not the case, what does a NTK look like?   Regarding the compliance with the Protection of Freedoms Act, could the "period" of parking not be argued either way? The legislation doesnt state it must have a start/end time of parking, which I assumed an ANPR camera would pick up if it had one. Is 4 minutes not technically enough to show the vehicle was parked?    Thanks !

    • 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.

Today a letter came from them....wanting me to make monthly payments of £857 a month! I dont earn this much a month! im a single mother, i earn £803 a month, are they expecting me to not eat, pay bills, survive?!

 

Im totally gobsmacked and i dont know what to do now, i cant pay this! I had offered £87 a month, which Natwest have declined.

 

Please can someone help me, the letter states i have 16 days to contest but doesnt say anthing else, half of the page has been cut off!

When you have get the court forms about the debt you have to return them to them, not the courts. the forms clearly state this. Had written in big bold writing, ive just checked the forms i got about being taken to court and it states to sent to Irwin mitchell and not the courts. is this not correct?

If they put the above quote on the form they are in big trouble

That's definitely out of order, when you get a claim form and fill in the response it should go back to the court not to the Claimant. Do you have a scanner? if so can you post up the claim form (remove your name and claim number and anything that can identify you).

 

You will need to send an N245 to the court asking for the judement to be varied to an affordable amount. You also need to complain to the court about Irwin Mitchell's behaviour. We can help you with that.

 

What they have done is not forwarded your response to the court and have got judgement by default - despicable ! :mad:

 

Don't panic - you are NOT going to have to pay that amount each month !!

i have a scanner but will need someone to help me with it tomorrow, my sister will post it on here then.

 

The 1st form i got stated ' if you agree with all og the claim and are asking for time to pay complete the admission form (N9a) and send it direct to the claimant. Do not send a copy to the court'.

 

I did this and today i rec'd Judgement for Claiment (after determination). The claiment has objected to the rate of pyment you offered. the court has therefore decided the rate which you should pay. £857.86 per month.

 

do i just write to the courts now and explain that i cant pay this? i spoke to National debtline who advised that this is all i need to do now, explain that i cant pay these monthly payments.

You need to fill in a N245 form and send it to the court - we can help you with that but we really need to see the claim form which states you should send the form back to IM.

i stupidly didnt copy the forms, all i have is the delivery proof and copies of budgets. i just paniced and sent everything off that was requested by them. i feel like an idiot now. The form i sent back didnt have much information on because i had attached everything requested on other sheets of paper.

OK, see if you can get the claim form uploaded onto here and we'll take it from there.

 

Please don't worry about having to pay the amount they state - you have the right to ask for it to be reduced and your income and expenditure will back that up.

i have spoke to someone on money saving expert who has advised that i dont need to pay the fee of £35 for the re-determination as i was given a fair hearing, here is the letter below. is this correct? do i send the letter below and also the N245? i'm getting very confused. i also have the claim forms and the judgment letter to put on here, can someone advise me how?

 

To the Court Manager:

 

REDETERMINATION UNDER RULE 14.13 CPR

 

I apply for this matter to be reconsidered (redetermined under Rule 14.13 of the Civil Procedure Rules). Under rule 14.13 there is no court fee to make this application.

 

I am unable to pay the full Judgment instalment as ordered on (insert date of order) and submit that this has been set an unrealistic amount.

 

I request the Court reconsiders the Judgment. To assist I enclose an up to date financial statement and list of other unsecured debts, which have been provided to me by the Consumer Credit Counselling Service (CCCS)/CAB/National Debtline (delete as applicable).

 

As you can see my budget shows I have £…. surplus/ £…. deficit after essential living costs and also have (insert number of creditors in total).

 

Given my circumstances and considering my finances as a whole I am able to offer £…. .monthly instalment and request the court set the Judgment at this amount.

 

Under rule 14.13 of the CPR it is clear that because the Judgement was granted without a hearing I am entitled to have this redetermined and if necessary transferred to my local county court.

 

My application is also compliant with the time limit as it falls within the 14 days from the original order.

 

I look forward to hearing from you.

 

Yours faithfully,

Hello,

 

I have my redertermination hearing on Thurday but today i had a letter come in the post from Irwin Mitchell saying they have applied for a charging order against a property which i havent lived at for 3 years, my name is still on the mortgage though.

 

I spoke to the lady on the phone and she was totally disgusting to me, she said she didnt care if that i was going to redetermiantion and they want the £857 a month that the orginal order was for.

 

I just want some advice please, i am really worried about this. the flat they are going for is in negitive equity, i borrowed £97,000 and i had it valued at 85,000 2 months ago.

 

Can they go for a charging order while i am waiting for my retermination? i still have been paying the amount of £78 a month whichi have been paying through cccs for 3 years.

 

Thanks.

You have been given good advice on this forum, but for whatever reason you have chosen to ignored it and have taken advice from MSE. This seems to have crfeated some confusion. I suggest that you either use CAG or MSE to avoid mixing up advice. There are many Caggers who can offer good solid advice. From my own experience I no longer post on MSE due to conflicting and incorrect advice by some people on the forum.

Thanks.
