    • Jasowter I hope that common sense prevails with Iceland and the whole matter can be successfully ended. I would perhaps not have used a spell checker just to prove the dyslexia 🙂 though it may have made it more difficult to read. I noticed that you haven't uploaded the original PCN .Might not be necessary if the nes from Iceland is good. Otherwise perhaps you could get your son to do it by following the upload instructions so that we can appeal again with the extra ammunition provided by the PCN. Most of them rarely manage to get the wording right which means that you as the keeper are not liable to pay the charge-only the driver is and they do not know the name and address of the driver. So that would put you both in the clear if the PCN is non compliant.
    • Thank you so much. Yes, I wish I had done my research and not paid. It's all for the same car park. Here is one of the original PCNs, they are all the same bar different dates. PCN-22.03.24-1.pdf PCN-22.03.24-2.pdf
    • Hi Clou, Welcome to the Forum and thank you for reading first before you posted. There seems to be many problems with Cornwall and getting a signal to use your a phone which could be why these parking companies don't use alternatives. It is a shame you paid the first one as you would probably have not had to pay that one either.  Was the car park at which you paid the same parking company as the one sending you these PCNs? On the subject of PCNs could you please post them up so we can see if they comply with the Act.

[Y/N?] post it up Yes, rejected:   Site: Sea View Car Park, PL27 6SR Date of Event: 16th March 2024 We are in receipt of your challenge in relation to the above Parking Charge. Appeals must be handled in a fair and consistent manner, therefore, in order for us to cancel any Parking Charge; it is necessary for us to find that the Notice was issued in error. As per the clear and prominent signage at this location ('The Contract'), drivers agree to pay the sum of £100 if 'A valid ticket is not displayed face-up on the dashboard; enabling all of the printed information to be inspected'. 'The Contract' also details that there is an exception for those with a valid mobile session in place. Had the driver felt that the terms of the contract were unacceptable, they had the option to seek alternative parking. By remaining, the driver is deemed in law to be bound by the terms of 'The Contract'. Our photographic evidence confirms that a valid ticket was not displayed, and a search of our records confirms that no mobile session was in place for the registration XXXX at this location; therefore, your appeal is declined. We note that you have submitted evidence of payment; however, said payment is not for this location. It may be the case that you feel that the charge is unfair; however, there is no legal basis to now reject a charge that the driver has already agreed to pay. In light of the above, the sum £100.00 is payable by 21/05/2024 or £170 thereafter. Our internal appeals procedure is now exhausted, our decision is final; therefore no further correspondence other than payment will be addressed or responded to. Should you disagree with our decision, you may submit an appeal to 'The Independent Appeals Service'; full details are on the rear of this letter. 7 Who is the parking company? Alliance Parking LTD   8.

IAS Hi there, thanks in advance for any help on this.   Had 3 'PCNs' in post from Alliance for parking 3 times over a period of two weeks, unfortunately we were away from home so letters must have come over the two weeks but we received all at once if that makes sense. I realised I had used the wrong location on the car park app. The signs are not clear what the location is called (no code.) I only had receipts for two instances so I assume the first it didn't go through as had terrible signal. Paid £60 for one of the fines. Appealed the others saying it was an honest mistake and not very good signage (unfortunately submitted on their website and have no evidence of my appeal.) received the rejection of appeal as above.   Have now received the attached letter of claim. I have done some research for the amazing snotty letters but wonder if someone could kindly help me with writing one specific to my case? Thank you so very much in advance.

    • 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 Sleepy

 

Gavin is a bully so just refuse to speak to him.

 

He can only get to you if you let him. He has no power over you. He only gets to keep the account for a few weeks then he has to give to clarity. From what I have seen you can't negotiate with him so I wouldn't try.

 

Keep strong, you will be fine.

well heres an update on my ptp nightmare, had the usual i must get in touch email from Gavin, then nothing and then today i got an email yada yada saying hes checked my details Ni number and work etc hmm am sure theres got to be a data protection thing there ? anyway i have been warned to telephone him ASAP as thats the only way he wants to talk to me re my account.......... now i am so stressed out its unreal , any advice welcome

Take the email to the police and ask them to treat Gavin as a stalker, and contact the relevant authorities in the USA and Canada and complain, they seem to be able to do things our authorities cant.

 

As long as you have your salary paid into a different bank account you should be safe. In my limited payroll experience you are NOT allowed to discuss payroll details with anyone other than the person concerned, and that is after various security checks. He can bluff about having your NI details but as far as I am aware there is very little to link your bank details via your NI no, if there was the authorities themselves would be checking everything possible in the guise of 'fraud and terriorist activities'.

 

You can get out of this hole, and are doing the right thing by continually emailing them, do not let Gavin get you down, he sounds like he is on hefty commission which is why he gets aggressive.

 

At the end of the day he is after money, and if he ends up getting none then he will be even more aggressive.

 

Stay calm and don't identify yourself on the phone, if you get calls from unidentified or unknown numbers don't answer them.

Hi sleepy

 

Sounds like your getting it a bit rougher than I am!

 

All I've had for 2 weeks is calls to my mob - the number is on my reject list. Then they started witholding number and it comes up as 'unknown'. On friday I had a voicemail asking me to contact them urgently. I have again emailed and asked for contact in writing only and have had no reply to that yet. I expect I will get the usual reply 'our collections department can only deal with matters by telephone'

 

TBH just waiting for them to pass me on to clarity now.

 

As for Gavin, the stuff about the NI number etc sounds like a big empty threat too me. Yes, he has your NI number, it's used to set up your account. Whether he can access any info about you with it is very doubtful. NI numbers are used by various government depts (I work for one) and ther's no way any of those depts would give out any info on you to a third party. Sounds like scare tactics to me. The only way he can know where you work is if you put on the original application. And if he were inclined to contact your employer I think he would have done it by now.

 

I know it's hard but stay strong. never answer the calls and politely reply to every email with the same answer - you will only deal with this in writing! Silly Girl's advice about the police is sound as well.

 

Hopefully it won't be too much longer before they pass you (and me) to clarity. Then it can be sorted out peacefully and sensibly without any more hassle. Do try not to worry too much and don't be bullied.

 

Let me know how you get on. Take care

as i read somewhere in this forum...its not a crime to be in debt. I now think its a crime to have internet legal loansharks! our government are trying to stamp out doorstep loan sharks (which are probably cheaper) but dont seem interested in the internet sharks! its like telling people they cant use a bow and arrow but its ok to use a gun......

and then this morning omg i got this back from him im totaly mortified!!

XXXXX

It is quite obvious that the reason that you do not wish to speak regarding your

account is that you are not willing to deal responsibily regarding you debt. £15

per month is completely unacceptable. You have not even bothered to have the

courtesy to explain why you are only able to pay this amount. It is fairly

clear that you have taken this loan out under false pretences and therefore I

will be passing this onto 3rd party recovery who will contact you any way they

wish whether that be phone, email, door to door or by letter.

Sleepy,

 

I reckon that is just what you need! He might think the threat to pass you on to a third party fills you with dread. In reality is the best thing that can happen. Can they be any worse than him to deal with?? If you genuinely offer what you can afford, no-one can make you pay more than that. With any luck clarity will be happy to deal with you in writing and accept your offer of payment and this nightmare will be over.

 

You've done well....stuck by your guns and it looks like the dreaded gavin is giving up. My advice to you if he sends any more emails is to ignore them....bin them, don't even read them. He is a bully who will sadly be giving someone else grief by now. You haven't committed fraud....you're just short of money and fell in to the same trap as lots of others....like me!

 

Have a virtual hug from me:) and don't worry....

 

take care

Hey sleepy

 

whats happening?

 

I've heard absolutely nothing this end. No phonecalls, no emails and no letters from clarity.

 

Am just waiting now.

 

Feel like telling everyone else in this mess to do the same as we have done. Yes the phonecalls at the start were stressful and the worry was awful but the feeling of being back in control of my whole wages at end of last month (before payday people got their hands on it as soon as it hit the bank) was a very nice feeling!!

 

These people confuse me. Try to reason with them and they ignore you. They want all or nothing....and end up getting nothing through the way they deal with things....if I was them would take the reasonable route....but:)

 

Anyway sleepy hope all has been quieter for you too.....let me know x

Sorry if I but in guys but could not resist saying my part. I have 4 on the go and all of them have had to accept my offer it took me almost a year and half to get out of the mess now I am richer. Every who has a payday loan and cannot get off the roundabout should follow, soon these companies will be banned over here so I have been told. They threaten with all sorts but I just ignored them and told them they will be lucky to get anything from me as I have paid back their loans through the course 4 times over. They are just loan sharks.

 

Fell better now and sorry for intuding.

Hi guys,

 

Reading these posts rings all too familiar with me....I have 2 pd loans - one with PTP where I defaulted last month and have had the "lovely" Gavin Armstrong chasing me and one with Quick Quid which will be defaulting this month, not looking forward to dealing with QQ as they seem a nightmare from some of the posts I've read on here. The general stance seems to be remain strong when you negotiate a repayment plan

reagrdless of the threats.

 

I've been on and off this merry go round of payday loans for probably the last 3 years (dare not even think of the interest I've repaid back) :eek: but since about Sept it's got out of control and I'm just reloaning to cover my previous loans all the time and finding very little money for anything else.

:(

 

I missed the channel 4 programme but hopefully as Marshmallow said these companies will soon be banned from trading - I think they hardly promote responsible lending as PTP were prepared to lend me just £100 short of my salary (which when they have added there charges would have been more than my salary) and although never borrowed quite this much the temptation was there so how can PTP expect people to be able to pay back more than they earn :confused:

 

Anyway, just interested to know how people are getting on? Fairclaire, have you heard from Clarity? Sleepy - have you?

 

Good luck whatever situation you find yourself in. I've found some invaluable information on this site and think that it gives people some strength to help fight back against these bullies. :)

Hi! Have just read all these post with intrest as i am going to jump off the merrygoround of these payday loans. When u can get to a agreement of repayment how do u make them? dont want to give debit card details out as just reported my purse stolen to get new cards ??

Hi there,

 

I am in a similar situation and have read all the posts with interest.

 

I have payday loans with 9 of these companies and have been struggling to keep my head about water for months. Finally, last month, I decided to bite the bullet. I contact the debt charity CCCS and entered into a debt management plan with them. They take all your income and expenditure details and work out what you can afford to repay - make sure you are honest about it. Then they make offers to your creditors.

 

Unfortunately, I have not got it set up in time to avoid the sh*t hitting the fan this month, and it is my pay day tomorrow. I have cancelled my card and all direct debits, so hopefully they will not be able to get any money off me. I have sent them all the letter as advised by CCCS, and CCCS will be contacting them to offer a repayment next week. In the meantime I intend to tell anyone calling me that I am in severe financial difficulty and I am entering a debt management plan, and to contact CCCS to arrange repayment of the debts. I don't know if this will get them off my back, but I will let you all know.

 

So far I have found CCCS to be nothing less than excellent. If they can help me out of this mess I've got myself in, then I owe my life to them!!!

 

Good luck to everyone.
