    • Thanks for posting the CPR contents. i do wish you hadn't blanked out the dates and times since at times they can be relevant . Can you please repost including times and dates. They say that they sent a copy of  the original  PCN that they sent to the Hirer  along with your hire agreement documents. Did you receive them and if so can you please upload the original PCN without erasing dates and times. If they did include  all the paperwork they said, then that PCN is pretty near compliant except for their error with the discount time. In the Act it isn't actually specified but to offer a discount for 14 days from the OFFENCE is a joke. the offence occurred probably a couple of months prior to you receiving your Notice to Hirer.  Also the words in parentheses n the Act have been missed off. Section 14 [5][c] (c)warn the hirer that if, after the period of 21 days beginning with the day after that on which the notice to hirer is given, the amount of unpaid parking charges referred to in the notice to keeper under paragraph 8(2)(f) or 9(2)(f) (as the case may be) has not been paid in full, the creditor will (if any applicable requirements are met) have the right to recover from the hirer so much of that amount as remains unpaid; Though it states "if any applicable ...." as opposed to "if all applicable......" in Section 8 or 9. Maybe the Site could explain what the difference between the two terms mean if there is a difference. Also on your claim form they keeper referring to you as the driver or the keeper.  You are the Hirer and only the Hirer is responsible for the charge EVEN IF THEY WEREN'T THE DRIVER. So they cannot pursue the driver and nowhere in the Hirer section of the Act is the hirer ever named as the keeper so NPC are pursuing the wrong person.  
    • This is simply a scam site.  It's been shown to be a scam in the national press and on national TV. Please fill in the the forum sticky and upload the invoice you've received. In fact what you have is an invoice, not a fine, a private company doesn't have the power to issue fines.

    • Good afternoon, I am writing because I am very frustrated. I received a parking fine from MET Parking Services Ltd , ( Southgate park Stansted CM24 1PY) . We stopped for a quick meal in Mcdonalds and were there fir around 30 mins. We always do this after flights and never received a parking fine before.  Reason: The vehicle left in Southgate car park without payment made for parking and the occupants southgate premises. they took some pictures of us leaving the car. i did not try and appeal it yet as I came across many forums that this is a scam and I should leave it. But I keep getting threatening letters.  Incident happened : 23/10/2023 I did contact Mcdonalds and they said this:  Joylyn (McDonald’s Customer Services) 5 Apr 2024, 12:05 BST Dear Laura, Thank you for contacting McDonald’s Customer Services. I’m sorry to hear that you have received a Parking Charge Notice following your visit to our Stansted restaurant.   We've introduced parking restrictions at some of our restaurants to make sure there are always parking spaces available for customers.   We appreciate that some visits such as birthday parties or large group visits might take longer and the parking restrictions aren't intended to stop this. If you think your stay will exceed the stated maximum parking time then please speak to a manager in advance.   Your number plate is scanned by our Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) system when you enter our car park, and then again when you leave. If you have overstayed the maximum time allowed, you will not be notified straight away- a Parking Charge Notice will be sent to you via the post.   If you feel that a Parking Charge Notice has been issued in error, please contact our approved contractors who issued the charge in order to appeal the charge. Unfortunately McDonald's are unable to revoke parking tickets- the outcome of the appeal is final and cannot be overturned by McDonald’s.   Many thanks for taking the time to contact McDonald’s Customer Services.   Can someone please help me out and suggest what I should do next?  Thank 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.

Hi

 

I am a newbie to this site and read as much as I canover last few weeks.

 

I am in quite a bit of debt (£40k+) spread over 6 creditors - since 2006 I have had a my own DMP in place paying pro rata to all of them approx 1% of the o/s debt - so quite reasonable.

 

Problem I have is with a Tesco Loan that went to Triton Credit and now with Incasso - they basically want me to pay an increased figure to clear the debt in 5 years - presently it will take me about 8-9 years. If I dont agree they MAY take legal action - I have written to them advising I cant pay more - I owe more to one other creditor and they are being unreasonable - NO RESPONSE to my letters. I have sent them last week a CCA request - will this help?

 

I am worried about being taken to court and getting a CCJ - I am trying to pay back my debts but its getting really difficult - I have read about Unenforecable Debts if CCA cant be supplied - all mine were taken out prior to 2006 so do I have a case? - sorry maybe more then one thread here. Ultimately I have been paying over £4k a year since 2006 to my creditors plus what I paid when I paid in full and would ideally like to not pay anymore as my mental health/family life is rubbish at the moment!

 

Help and advise please - seems there is plenty of it around and its very reassuring!

it is std practice for these 'fake' solictors to demand more than the rest.

 

to be honest, if you are paying what you can NO judge would ever make you pay more and would probably laugh the CCJ out the door or assign a LOWER sum.

 

so's don't worry.

 

as for the CCA's i'd CCA everyone you are currently paying.

 

if you look at the top of this page in the library, the CCA request letter is there

 

i would not pay any attention to the letter its prob littered with the words, if might, maybe, could, instructed etc etc

its made to make you contact them...DON'T!!

DX,

 

Many thanks that is so reassuring, I will CCA everyone and see what happens - I have written to a couple of them just to see if they will reduce my debt/write off - do you think they will do that out of the kindest of their hearts (if they have one) or will I have to offically do this CCA thing.

 

One of my debts with Egg was passed to Apex Credit - they have been fine but I have since read that they probably bought by circa £6k debt for a lot less - are they 1: able to enforce this debt or 2: accept lower final settlement/write off? I have been paying them £72 a month for about a year now.

 

I wonder if I have much chance of getting my debts written off or reduced substantially - does medical grounds count for anything anymore?

 

I also read that approx 8% of a Loan figure is the banks liability - is there any truth in this?

 

Finally is is best that I continue to deal with all issues myself rather then get solicitors involved or those companiesadvertising help. I am pretty clued up - ironically I am an Underwriter so know a lot about good/poor risks but not so much about the legalities in paying/not paying debts.

 

Sorry if I am rambling - its like a release of pressure, knowing there are people out there who understand!

no worries

 

no dont use these fleecing reclaim co's.

 

just be aware that even if the cca were to prove un-en, it doesn't wipe the debt out - it's not some magic bullet - contrary to wha these reclaim co's sprout.

 

the only thing it does do is prevent them from using the court route to enforce the debt.

 

have you looked at reclaiming unlawful fees &/or p'haps mis-sold PPI?

Yeah I have been reading about that - I guess if I CCA them and prove its unenforcebale then I could negotiate a reduced amount to pay back?

 

Does anyone know if I can agree to pay back a lower figure but do it over a period of time rather then a one off payment - I have no access to large sums of cash so even if they said pay back £10k I couldnt do it in one hit but could over 2 years.

 

I dont know much about unlawful fees or mis sold PPI - is there any links to that?

 

Are there any links to success stories of reduced/written off debts - just so I can get some ideas on how to go about it?

why...unless you need info on your cra file removed...i'd ignore them no cca = no pay!!

as above. if they have offered a lower one off settlement, thats a good sign they hold no legally binding agreement.

 

I dont know much about unlawful fees or mis sold PPI - is there any links to that?

just use our search

reclaim unlawful charges

there is also a PPI forum with lots of stickys like:

notes for claimants .... to read.

do some reading.

DX - your a star!

 

I am just very very nervous about all of this - if I CCA them and get no reply and stop paying I might end up in the S**T!! I guess from reading some of the links that wont happen - but I guess its the old story of a big company jumping all over the little man!

i'd not worry too much

 

dca's have no legal powers, and rely on threats to con people into paying things they have no legal requirement to do.

Newbie here again.

 

Reading various threads, I have sooo many questions.

 

It seems that I may have some rights against my Credit Card companies for increasing my Credit without me actually asking for it. I have Egg C/Card, Co Op and Natwest Cards from 2000 onwards, when I started heavy use in 2002 they started to increase by Credit - seems as one done it the others followed, thus contributing to my debt problems.

 

Ok maybe I shouldnt of spent it - thats another story.

 

Anyway - I am asking for my CCA's from them but just need to understand a bit more about the above.

 

Sorry if this is posted on wrong Thread forum.

 

Appreciate your help/comments

I dont think I have any PPI on the credit cards, I do on my loans. I currently have agreed repayments in place and all interest has been frozen. To be fair to them they have been quite reasonable

 

I was just wondering if I have any recourse against them for increasing my credit when I didnt ask them too.

 

Egg has since sent my debt to Apex and I am paying them back now - once I have CCA back I will review if they can actually enforce.

 

But from other threads I have read it seems if they have increased by credit level without asking then I can feasible ask for this to be refunded plus interest if so I could considerably reduce my overall debt which is what I am trying to do for all my Credit Card/Loan debts.

 

Thx

I would write a letter to that effect, you could argue that they didn't even carry out a credit check before rasing your credit limit, but make your you check first. I suppose

at some point after the interest rate was increased as well.

Thanks, is there a way of checking if they did this without my request? Or shall I just state they did (99% sure on most cases they did) as they wouldnt be able to prove it was me that requested it in the first place!

 

Anyone have any letters on how I should set this out??
