    • I disagree with the charge and also the statements sent. Firstly I have not received any correspondence from DVLA especially a statutory notice dated 2/5/2024 or a notice 16/5/2024 voiding my licence if I had I would have responded within this timeframe. The only letter received was the single justice procedure notice dated the 29.5.2024 this was received on 4.6.2024. I also disagree with the statement that tax was dishonoured through invalid indemnity claim. I disagree that the licence be voided I purchased the vehicle in Jan 2024 from RDA car sales Pontefract with agreement to collect the car on the 28.1.2024. The garage taxed the vehicle on the 25.1.24 for eleven payments on direct debit  using my debit card on my behalf. £62.18 was the initial payment on 8.2.24  and £31 per month thereafter the second payment was 1.3.24.This would run from Jan 24 to Dec 24 and a total of £372.75, therefore the car was clearly taxed before  I took the car away After checking one of my vehicle apps  I could see the vehicle was showing as untaxed it later transpired that DVLA had cancelled my tax , without reason and I did not receive any correspondence from DVLA to state why it was cancelled or when. The original payment of £62.18 had gone through and verified by my bank Lloyds so this payment was not declined. I then set up the direct debit again straight away at my local post office branch on 15.2.2024 the first payment was £31 on 1.3.2024 and subsequent payments up to Feb 2025 with a total of £372.75 which was the same total as the original DD that was set up in Jan, Therefore I claimed the £62.18 back from my bank as an indemnity claim as this payment was from the original cancelled tax from DVLA and had been cancelled . I have checked my bank account at Lloyds and every payment since Jan 24  up to date has been taken with none rejected as follows: 8.2.24 - £62.15 1.3.24 - £31.09 2.4.24 - £31.06 1.5.24 - £31.06 3.6.23-£31.06 I have paper copies of the original DD set up conformation plus a breakdown of payments per month , and a paper copy of the second DD setup with breakdown of payments plus a receipt from the post office.I can also provide bank statements showing each payment to DVLA I also ask that my licence be reinstated due to the above  
    • You know hes had it when they call out those willing to say anything even claiming tories have reduced taxes on live tv AS Salmonella says: The Conservative Party must embrace Nigel Farage to “unite the right”, Suella Braverman has urged, following a disastrous few days for Rishi Sunak. The former home secretary told The Times there was “not much difference” between the new Reform UK leader’s policies and those of the Tories, as senior Conservatives start debating the future of the party. hers.   AND Goves replacement gets caught booking in an airbnb to claim he lives locally .. as of yesterday you can rent it yourself in late July - as he'll either be gone or claiming taxpayer funded expenses for a house Alongside pictures of himself entering a house, Mr McGuinness said Surrey Heath residents “rightly expect their MP to be a part of their community”. - So whens farage getting around to renting (and subletting) a clacton beach hut?   Gove’s replacement caught out on constituency house claim as home found on Airbnb WWW.INDEPENDENT.CO.UK Social media users quickly pointed out house Ed McGuinness had posted photos in was available to rent     As Douglas Ross says he'll stand down in scotland - if he wins a Westminster seat - such devotion.
    • I've completed a draft copy to defend and will post up here for review.  Looking over the dates and payments this all stemmed from DVLA cancelling in Feb , whereby I set up a new DD in Feb hence the overlap, why they cancelled when I paid originally in Jan I have no idea. Anyway now stuck with pending court action and a suspended licence . I am also firing off a letter to DVLa recorded disputing the licence revoke
    • Thank you both for your expert knowledge and understanding. You're fighting the good fight by standing up for people like me and others with limited knowledge of this stuff. I thank you. I know all my DVLA details are good. I recently (last year) renewed my license, and my car's V5 is current with the correct details; the same is valid for my partner. I'll continue to ignore the love letters 😂 and won't let it bother either me or my partner.  I'll revisit this post if/when I get a letter of claim.  F**k ém.

    • 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.

The names these clowns think up to frighten people is pathetic. By recovery agents they mean the tea boy 3 desks down. IGNORE, and if you are ever feeling sad read over all their letters to give yourself a good laugh.

regards

 

lets hope so, thanks so much to all xx

Oct: failure to pay within 7 days will result in it being forwarded to legal department for further action.

 

 

Dec: Full payment of the above amount is hereby demanded within 7 days of this notice to prevent further recovery procedure commencing."

 

 

am I screwed?
No more than you were in October and then again in December. If I'm not mistaken the second anniversary of the original 'crime' is coming up. You really must remember to send them a card!!

Hi guys, Sorry to hijack this thread but im having a bit of a panic over a letter i received this morning from Ethical Debt Recovery Services Ltd, regarding an "outstanding parking charge notice" from LDK security group ltd.

 

Ive received advice from the forums before regarding this matter, as i've had the letters from LDK themselves and also from Graham white solicitors. But this EDRS letter has me freshly panicked!!

 

It states it is a friendly reminder regarding the outstanding charge notice and also states

" we appreciate that you may have overlooked this so if you could please get in contact with us as a matter of urgency to avoid any increased charges. Please not that EDRS ltd do accept payment plans from a minimum of just £5.00 a week, should you require spreading the amount." It then has a list of payment methods.

 

Any advice would be greatly appreciated, i think the friendly tone of the letter has thrown me! And im starting to think that perhaps this letter is legitimate??

 

Please Help!!!

Hello again, just me, got another letter today from ldk group saying they notice I have 2! Outstanding tickets, if I don't contact them and pay £180 then legal action will follow, do not ignore this letter then they go on about seizing goods for auction to pay it off.

I don't know what to do, I never had any tickets and in two minds to ring them though I know I shouldn't, sorry for my panic xx

Hello abi. I'm sure the guys will be along soon, but just to clarify, the 'tickets' are from a private parking company?

 

Are you sure it says they will go to court and not that they might, can etc?

 

It could well be further scare tactics because they're desperate for the money, but the guys will tell you. Sit tight.

yeah hb they private company, they say in letter, legal action against u, if successful this will lead to a ccj against you,

 

Enforcement options include:

An attachment of earnings order

Your personal effects being attached and auctioned to pay outstanding amount

 

DO NOT IGNORE THIS NOTICE AS LEGAL ACTION WILL FOLLOW

 

Then says if legal action follows you will be liable to extra fees.

 

What chews me the most is I never had a ticket let alone two!

 

Thank you xx

the matter of private parking tickets is VERY serious indeed.

 

A tremendous amount of publicity has been generated through the motoring forum here on CAG, Pepipoo, MSE etc concerning the matter of clamping on private ground and with pressure also from the likes of the AA & RAC, this has led to the Home Office Minister; Lynn Featherstone introducing into the forthcoming Protection of Freedom Bill a ban on clamping and vehicle removal on private ground.

 

This is brilliant news for all those who have campaigned BUT unfortunately, in the forthcoming bill, the Minister is introducing a clause whereby private parking tickets will becoming the responsibility of the VEHICLE OWNER as opposed to the current position whereby the vehicle DRIVER can be found to be liable.

 

Furthermore, the vehicle's keeper will have to identify the driver responsible for parking offences and if he refuses to identify the driver, he will be held responsible.

 

It is of course feared that “rouge clampers” will simply move into the role of “rouge ticketing” and there will be NO regulation of car ticketing.

 

The Minster has done an excellent job in banning clamping on private ground but introducing the requirement for the vehicle owner to be responsible is seriously flawed.

 

The Protection of Freedom Bill will have to go before the House of Lords for scrutiny and the Lords can be lobbied to insist on changes to the regulations.

 

Norman Baker; Minister for Transport is the person responsible for implementing the keeper liability regulations.

 

All private parking companies are supposed to abide by the British Parking Associations Code of Practice.

:???: what me. never heard of you never had a debt with you.

Actually the registered keeper, there is no national record of vehicle owners at this time.

 

Furthermore, the vehicle's keeper will have to identify the driver responsible for parking offences and if he refuses to identify the driver, he will be held responsible.

 

Again not right, the registered keeper is to be held responsible there is to be no onus on supplying the drivers details.

 

It is of course feared that “rouge clampers” will simply move into the role of “rouge ticketing” and there will be NO regulation of car ticketing.

 

Agree
