    • just to be clear here..... the DVLA do not send letters if a drivers licence address differs from any car's V5C that shows the same driver as it's registered keeper.
    • sorry she is a private individual, the cars are parking on her land. she can clamp the cars. only firms were outlawed from doing it bazza. thats what the victims of people dumping cars on their drives near airports did and they didn't not get prosecuted.    
    • The DVLA keeps two records of you. One as a driver and one for your car. If they differ you might find out in around a month when they will send you a reminder as well as to your other half for their car. If you receive nothing then you can be fairly sure that you were tailgating though wouldn't explain why they didn't pick up your car on one of drive past their cameras. However even if you do get a PCN later then your situation will not change. The current PCN does not comply with the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012 Schedule 4 which is the main law that covers private parking. It doesn't comply for two reasons. 1. Section 9 [2][a] states  (2)The notice must— (a)specify the vehicle, the relevant land on which it was parked and the period of parking to which the notice relates; The PCN states 47 minutes which are the arrival and departure times not the time you were actually parked. if you subtract the time you took to drive from the entrance. look for a parking place  park in it perhaps having to manoeuvre a couple of times to fit within the lines and unload the children reloading the children getting seat belts on  driving to the exit stopping for cars pedestrians on the way you may well find that the actual time you were parked was quite likely to be around ten minutes over the required time.  Motorists are allowed a MINIMUM of ten minutes Grace period [something that the rogues in the parking industry conveniently forget-the word minimum] . So it could be that you did not overstay. 2] Sectio9 [2][f]  (ii)the creditor does not know both the name of the driver and a current address for service for the driver, the creditor will (if all the applicable conditions under this Schedule are met) have the right to recover from the keeper so much of that amount as remains unpaid; Your PCN does not include the words in brackets and in 2a the Act included the word "must". Another fail. What those failures mean is that MET cannot transfer the liability to pay the charge from the driver to the keeper. Only the driver is now liable which is why we recommend our members not to appeal. It is so easy to reveal who was driving by saying "when I parked the car" than "when the driver parked the car".  As long as they don't know who was driving they have little chance of winning in court. This is partly because Courts do not accept that the driver and the keeper are the same person. And because anyone with a valid motor insurance policy is able to drive your cars. It is a shame that you are too far away to get photos of the car park signage. It is often poor and quite often the parking rogues lose in Court on their poor signage alone. I hope hat you can now relax and not panic about the PCN. You will receive many letters from Met, their unregulated debt collectors and sixth rate solicitors threatening you with ever higher amounts of money. The poor dears have never read the Act which states quite clearly that the maximum sum that can be charged is the amount on the signs. The Act has only been in force for 12 years so it may take a  few more years for the penny to drop.  You can safely ignore everything they send you unless or until they send you a Letter of Claim. Just come back to us if they do send one of those love letters to you and we will advise on a snotty letter to send them. In the meantime go on and enjoy your life. Continue reading other threads and if you do get any worrying letters let us know. 
    • Hopefully the ANPR cameras didn't pick up the two vehicles, but I don't think you're out of the woods just yet. MET's "work" consists of sending out hundreds of these invoices every week so yours might be a few days behind your partner's. There is also the matter of Royal Mail.  I once sold two second-hand books to someone on eBay.  Weirdly the cost of sending them separately was less than the cost of sending them in one parcel.  So to save a few bob I sent them seperately.  One turned up the next day.  One arrived after four days.  They were  sent from the same post office at the same time! But let's hope I'm being too pessimistic. Please update us of any developments.

    • 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,

 

I’ve been looking at forums all day long regarding statute barred status and really need a tiny bit more help

 

I understand the process if its a defaulted account over 6 years UK that it will be statue barred status so hopefully some of my debts should fall into this arena.

 

My question is regarding CCJ's, I need to check but have 2 old ones over 6 years for sure from my stupid uni days - I knew nothing about finance and it was available everywhere - hell I didn’t even know I had to make monthly payments at that time!

 

If anyone would be so kind to help. Been a rollercoaster of emotions for me today thinking I may have light at the end of the tunnel then realising CCJs are slightly different :

 

- I understand they fall off your credit report once 6 years 1 month is up ? Does this mean my credit rating will improve? (unless they put them back on)

 

- What I cant seem to find is how likely they are to be reapplied as from what I’ve read if its unsatisfied it does come off after 6 years but can be applied back on if DCA's go back to court - does anyone have experience of this?

 

- Another post touched on the fact that if its been passed around to other DCA's they are less likely to push for another CCJ due to needing original court paperwork?

 

 

Any advice would be greatly appreciated its because of forums like this us as consumers get some power and I’ve got my fingers crossed for some good news. Thanks so much in advance for helping.

Hi, if you have unacknowledged debts over 6 years old they are statute barred and as such unenforceable in Law and should also dissapear from your Credit File.

In the unlikely event of another DCA chasing the debt you should send them a letter requesting a True copy of the original CCA which probably doesn't exist any more.

If you need a letter you will find one in the template section on the site, just follow the instructions when you do it and remember all the rules.

 

1. All communications in writing - No telephone.

2. Send all communication by Recorded Delivery.

3. Always print your name - Never Sign (or use a signature diff than you usually do)

 

They have 12 + 2 days to comply with your request if they dont, no case to answer.

If you need more help keep posting and help will follow.

Thankyou so much for the reply really apprecaited.

 

I understood most of this orginally but I was under the impression CCJs (unpaid) are not statute barred?

 

This is the main area I couldnt find info on - maybe you could shed some light on this. Want to know more about chance of them re-applying the CCJ if unpaid?

 

Youve also made me think are you saying to send out the 12+2 etc letters if they try to reapply it as they may not have the required credit agreement anymore as debt has been passed around?

 

Thanks again to anyone that can help

OK, Once a CCJ has been issued then any question of an enforceable CCA is completely irrelevant, so it is completely useless asking for a CCA once a CCJ has been granted.

 

Any entry on your credit file, will automatically drop off after 6 years.

Once you have been granted a CCJ then the only real way of getting it removed is to pay, failure to do so can result in bailiffs etc.

Are you saying that you were unaware of the CCJ being issued? Did you fail to defend it in Court?

Who ever heard of someone getting a job at the Jobcentre? The unemployed are sent there as penance for their sins, not to help them find work!

What i mean is, a CCJ will no longer appear on your Credit File after 6 years. I had 2 and they dissapeared.

It is the debt that is SB after 6 years and because it is unlikekely another DCA will try to pusue it, but you can never be sure with them.

Some dimwit of a firm may try your ignorance of the Law to make you pay and if they do send them an appropriate letter from the Templates on this site in response to whatever they send to you.

Because of the time lapse it is most unlikely the original is available and for them to re-apply the CCJ they will need all the original docs.

If I have been helpful please tickle my scales or better still contribute to CAG.

Thankyou for you advice boswell and Bazakoo.

 

The CCJ to be tottally honest were on before I knew about it as I was away at uni and the letters came home address. It happened before I even had chance to read thier letters - I accept I am responsible for this to some degree.

 

So to confirm : The CCJ drops off after 6 years, the debt then carries on which is why you say it is statute barred (wierd because i thought CCJ debts didnt fall under SB?)

 

In terms of reapplying CCJ this is a low possibility if its been passed around because of time lapse they may not have original documents in order to apply for CCJ again?

 

So the debt carries on Statute barred status - if i receive any letters from DCAs the satndard statute barred letters are the ones I need not the 12+2+30 day ones?

 

So with the usual SB threads where (non-CCJ) 6 year period is up they cant apply a CCJ so you simply tell them so.

In cases like mine where its a unpaid CCJ the difference is that the CCJ can possibly be reapplied (but not likely after 6 years)?

 

In both cases the debt goes on under SB status?

 

Sorry for all the questions but im sure this will help some others out, been online for around 12 hours today finding out all the info and not found the great insight you kind people are giving.

 

 

edit: just seen your link boswell philapines but its interesting. The nets wierd really ive read so many threads and majority today made me feel depressed as they never mentioned the debt goes on under SB - they just said CCJ not covered and didnt expand.

Hi, did you read post 6 and the link i attached?

 

 

Yeah i actually edited my post to let you know ;)

 

Wierdly enough the last post on that thread says the same as i read elsewhere - no the debt is not SB and then poster talks about the fact debt agencies may not know about the CCJ - what if they do?

 

If you could extend your kindness to confirming my previous post I can rest at ease tonight and stop bothering you all :oops:

The CCJ will dissapear after 6 years.

For it to be re-applied to your CF it will have to be proved to be a debt that is still pending, ie, under 6 years old. As it is over that time,the debt not the CCJ, is SB.

I cant see how it can be re-applied to your CF twice if the debt is SB.

It has probably been written off by the Lender anyway as unenforceable and will cost another DCA money and time to try to re-apply it knowing it is SB.

Has anyone contacted you about the debt and have you checked your CF?

If I have been helpful please tickle my scales or better still contribute to CAG.

Thanks again - I am in process of getting it online via Trust Online (as i believe they wont notify DCA's of search). Im pretty sure the CCJs were back from 2002/2003 but of course will check it out by tommorrow.

 

I then will marry this up with the letters I have to see which are over 6y.

 

I would be the happiest guy alive if they do fall off and not reapplied, I can then get work (as financial institutions offer good pay for what I do) and pay it off.

 

Thanks so much for your help Boswell much apprecaited will report back when ive checked it out tommorrow

reverof, records of CCJs disappear from all official records (including Trust Online) after six years. In effect you don't have the CCJ anymore - it has disappeared in a figurative puff of smoke.

 

If a creditor or debt collecting agency tried to enforce repayment of the debt after the six years they would need need to obtain permission from the court and be able to show good cause why they didn't attempt to collect within the six year time frame.

I really do appreciate all those 'thank you' emails - I'm glad I've been able to help. Apologies if I haven't acknowledged all of them.

You can also ding my gong if you prefer. :)

Thanks Palomino Have pmed you - but would just like to say I am not proud of these issues I have been a real tough few years for me as im sure some of you users on this forum have had . Really appreciate all the help especially for a new poster like me full credit to the community for that. I will be checking my credit file with Trust Online shortly and will post back.

It appears you are now pretty much sorted with this?

There's a few links here that you might like to read also.

Legal Issues Explained - County Court Judgements

 

Removal of CCJ's - A guide to CCJ Removal

 

The second one won't really be relevant as it is over 6 years, but it's food for thought if anyone else is in the same situation.

 

Boo;)

Those old ccj's don't come under the statute of limitations , they come under court cpr rules to be (re) inforced . I'm in the same position as you . Old (over 6 year ) CCJ's from Uni days that seem to be forgotten about . I kind of think of these ccj's also in the same light as most people here look on the absence of a true copy of their credit agreement . If they don't have the original court documents anymore , and going by the way they tend to lose cca's thats a distinct possibility , then the ccj doesn't exist either in any enforceable sense . But as mentioned , over 6 years and they'll need to go to the court for permission and with a good reason.

It shouldn't because a personal search on your Credit file is only visable to you and not others even if they perfom a search on your file. But for some time now many are of the opinion that the CRA's are exchanging information with the DCA's.

 

A whistleblower could prove this as certain CRA files would be "flaged" IF information was being shared.

Sorry... but you have a lot to learn about how these industries work. One of the CRA's owns at least one of the well-known DCAs on here and as you become more familiar with the industry, you'll realise that there are loads of incestuous links between the lot of them.

 

Whistle-blowing has already been done and has no effect at all....

Hi all,

 

Thanks for all the replies - ive tried to get the details and found that they are also registerd against an old address - no wonder I got the letters alot later they must have been sent to our old family home!

 

Also wierd you should say some are linked I used the Trust One link which I believe was safe - tried using Equifax and got message online to say I have to phone them up witha reference number for some final questions - is this normal? My brother used his card details to pay for free trial for me , maybe thats why?

 

Thanks again all

hi reverof

 

post no 12 answers your questions correctly,

 

 

 

 

if theplaintiff hasn't physically got his copy of the ccj he cant do anything and the court certainly won't have a copy

 

nothing in this life is certain but it is highly unlikely that the creditor will pursue this now

 

I would let sleeping dogs lie

Be very careful when requesting your credit file.... as it often tips various DCAs off to your new whereabouts.

 

If no-one is currently chasing you, why worry about it anyway?

 

This is quite frightening - just looked at my credit file via equifax - will post if I receive any further contact from DCA - I've heard nothing for years - discovered 'default date goes back to 2008 so I'm wondering if it will tickle anything.
