    • I can only speak from personal experience. But a similar thing happened to me. Seriously dented door.  I made the other insurance pay. They regarded it as a write off. Took the money, replaced the door. Never heard anything more about it.    Except clearly someone sold my details to claims company, because I got loads of calls in bad English for a few month's 
    • The incident was 03rd March 2024 - and that was the only letter that I have received from MET 15th April 2024 The charge I paid was at the Stansted Airport exit gate (No real relevance now - I thought this charge was for that!!).   Here is the content of email to them (Yes I know I said I was the driver !!!!) as said above -  I thought this charge was for that!! "Stansted Airport" Dear “To whom it may concern” My name is ??  PCN:  ?? Veh Reg: Date of Incident: 03rd March 2024 I have just received a parking charge final reminder letter, dated 10th April 2024 - for an overstay.  This is the first to my knowledge of any overstay. I am aware that I am out of the 28 days, I don’t mean to be rude, this feels like it is a scam My movements on this day in question are, I pulled into what looked like a service station on my way to pick my daughter and family up from Stansted airport. The reason for me pulling into this area was to use a toilet, so I found Starbucks, and when into there, after the above, I then purchased a coffee. After which I then continued with my journey to pick my daughter up. (however after I sent this email I remember that Starbucks was closed so I then I walked over to Macdonalds) There was no signs about parking or any tickets machines to explains about the parking rules. Once at Stansted, I entered and then paid on exit.  So Im not show where I overstayed my welcome.. With gratitude    
    • Just to enlarge on Dave's great rundown of your case under Penalty. In the oft quoted case often seen on PCNs,  viz PE v Beavis while to Judges said there was a case for claiming that £100 was a penalty, this was overruled in this case because PE had a legitimate interest in keeping the car park free for other motorists which outweighed the penalty. Here there is no legitimate interest since the premises were closed. Therefore the charge is a penalty and the case should be thrown out for that reason alone.   The Appeals dept need informing about what and what isn't a valid PCN. Dummies. You should also mention that you were unable to pay by Iphone as there was no internet connection and there was a long  queue to pay on a very busy day . There was no facility for us to pay from the time of our arrival only the time from when we paid at the machine so we felt that was a bit of a scam since we were not parked until we paid. On top of that we had two children to load and unload in the car which should be taken into account since Consideration periods and Grace periods are minimum time. If you weren't the driver and PoFA isn't compliant you are off scot free since only the driver is liable and they are saying it was you.

    • 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.

I have just received the reply from my CPR 31.16 request and am unsure of how to challenge or what letter to send next and who to.

I am hoping someone can help as im panicking due to the time left until it goes to court.

 

Basically the claim is dated 4/2/10, i extended on line by another 14 days so i am guessing the time is up 5/3/10. I only received their reply yesterday although their letter is dated 23/02/10.

 

This is what i have received:

 

1. a copy of the electronic credit agreement i signed on line - Fixed Sum loan agreement regulated by the consumer credit act 1974

2. a default notice that i did not receive (i am not sure how to check it is valid)

3. a breakdown of how they have calculate the debt:

original loan - £220

interest - £53

issue of DN - £22

Email sent at £5 each - £20

Telephone contact at £5 per time- £50

24% balance interest - £110

Court charges - £35

 

Total payable - £510

 

4. confirmation that a deed of assignment or notice of assignment is n.a due to the debt not being transferred.

 

Please help, unsure of what to do next!

What you do is defend the whole claim, stating that the emails and telephone charges are extortionate, £5 for a telephone call... come on what salary are they paying the agent who makes these calls? that should be a question they HAVE to answer to justify the charges here...

 

The two different interest amounts dont make sense, nor does the issue of a DN fee, I think that comes in the OFT guidelines.

 

Did you pay anything back towards this loan... also I believe this comes under the CCA 1983 amendments.....

 

Somebody else will be on soon to help out here.

Hi Sillygirl,

 

thanks for your reply. I advised i was going to defend the whole claim when i asked for the extra 14 days on MCOL.

 

I am just unsure who to send a letter to or what to write to defend the claim.

 

Also if the claim date is 4/2/2010, i beleive i only have until 5th March (this Friday).

Go online and fill in the information, and write to Northampton (I assume it is them) and copy in Tower Capital stating you are defending the claim, and you have rolled over several times.

 

The wording should be

 

"I am defending this claim and need it to be transferred to a local court so I can attend in person. I have no legal representation and will therefore be a litigant in person."

 

Make sure the letters go first class recorded delivery, and that you get the online stuff done asap. I cant help much as I haven't defended anything for ages now, but once you have submitted your defence there is a chance the other side might 'discontinue'.

 

FAX your details and the letter to Northampton as Tower Capital may be relying on your ignorance in these matters and go for judgement by default.

 

If you do get a judgement by default letter from the court you can clearly state that you contacted them in the timescale and stated you were defending, so that stuffs Tower Capital.

 

Are you sure you calculated the dates properly, they don't include weekends and bank holidays.

Hi Sillygirl,

 

thanks for the advise. on the letter to the court, do i have to list the reasons why i am defendin gthe claim, if so, are thee templates on the forum?

Right, there aren't really any template letters for this sort of thing, so you need to get the defence sorted out. As it is a payday loan and you have rolled it over make a list of the payments you have made, and then READ the online information about getting your defence in. I would do it by Monday to really throw them into a spin, don't leave it unil the last day 'just in case',

 

I am not about again until later this afternoon when I can give a bit more help. I've never defended a payday loan case but have done plenty of mortgage cases, and a few shortfall cases.

 

Tower Capital are on distinctly dodgy ground citing their alleged interest rate, that would possibly be clipped by the judge but we have to give him the ammunition - if you can print the details off from the MCOL site and link them here I will see what I can do this afternoon.

Its up to you, I would fill in a part admission and the defence form, you admit the original amount LESS the rollover fees and see what their response is.

 

From my understanding this company has only had wins when people havent bothered to contest them. I cant guarantee a win but we can make their life very uncomfortable.

TC might be trying to get you to come to an agreement and they will drop the case, DONT do this cause they might try for a Tomlin Order, (basically it means if they get an arrangement with you and you miss a payment they can go straight back to court and reinstate the claim... )

 

Good luck

an update on this case. i have received a N149 form for allocation of small claims but i could do with help on the form (or at least the wording).

 

The form asks me if i want permission to use an expert's report at the meeting?

 

part g asks for other information, so i guess that is going to be the points i have made regarding the charges, harrasment and the roll over fees etc?

You don't want an experts report at the meeting, this isn't applicable for the type of claim.

 

Part G gives you a chance to provide background info to your dispute, ie printouts of their website which shows company registration etc and their blurb about how fair their rates are.... you can put N/A here as it isn't relevant unless you need more info...

 

At least by receiving the N149 they know you have acknowledged and mean to fight, wonder if they will -

 

Hello yet again guest, why do you keep following this thread and not identifying yourself?

Hi All,

 

i defended a claim against Tower due to ridiculous charges/dodgy DN and several roll over fees after they submitted a judgement application.

 

I have had a n24 general form of judgement or order form back stating:

 

1. POC's do not comply with CPR 16.4 or practise direction of 16pd3

2. unless claimant sends a compehensive POC's in by 18/4 the case will be struck out.

3. because the order has been made by the court without reps from both parties, the partiers can apply to set aside, varied or stayed.

 

at this stage, do i need to do anything, im reluctant to just wait and hope, is there anything else i need to do to arm more ammunition?

I am as advised sending off a letter asking for set aside and costs - is there any particular wording i should use?
