    • Well done with the photo. Of course the signage is insufficient.  PPM are not interested in competent management of a car park, they are interested in catching drivers out so they can issue their PCNs. For a start, according to their trade associations' Codes of Practice, they are supposed to have signage at the entrance. Any e-mail reply from the company and whether they will/won't/can/can't get the invoice cancelled?    
    • I will annotate the message I sent for the forum.  Sorry, didn't see this straight away...
    • I went back to the area, this photo is taken on entry. My vehicle was parked in the first space on the left.    Would you say there is sufficient signage ? It’s different to the street view as one sign is missing. The sign nearest to where I parked is 2.23m above ground! So even if the car had been reversed parked in front of it, I don’t think it could be seen. PCN PPM.pdf
    • Thank you. I expect that @dx100uk will be along soon to give advice. Meanwhile, I really wonder whether the default date – as being the starting point of the six years – something which has been decided in law. It has always seemed to me to be extremely unfair. According to the limitation act, the six year period begins from the date on which the cause of action accrued. This normally means that the breach of contract occurred. Section 6 of the limitation act says that in terms of loans, the cause of action begins on the date that the debt was "demanded". Over the past two years this has come to mean the date that the default notice was issued – but I have to say I don't find that very satisfactory. If you received demands for payment before then then I don't see why section 6 shouldn't refer to that date. Did you not receive any correspondence at all in 2017/2018? What was the value of the original loan – and how much you pay off? I see that there was some kind of instalment agreement. Tell us about that. See what my colleague @dx100uk says but anyway, if I were you I would send off an SAR immediately both to the claimant and also to the original creditor. It costs you nothing. There is no downside. Get in the post straightaway with some kind of utility bill establishing your identity. You can even include a copy of the claim form as well as proof of your identity

    • 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 was parked at my partners new flat one evening and he did not yet have his parking permits from his landlord. A UKPC attendant came along and we told him the situation and he said that was fine. Only he came back a little while later and gave us both parking tickets! I have appealed on line but have received a letter saying that the fine has now gone up to £90 and that I must pay it. I have rang them up and asked them how this is fair when the parking attendant was told the situation but they have said there isn't anything they can do.

I am really angry with the whole situation and I am in two minds whether to pay the fine or not. Should I pay it?

It's not a fine and you nor your partner should even be thinking of paying the scumbags.

 

Stop communicating with them in any fashion whatsoever. They will treat you as a hooked fish if you write to or telephone them.

It's a [problem]. Do now what you should have done from day 1:

 

• do not contact them

• do not pay

ignore their threatening junkmail

• they will give up and go away

• they will not take you to court

 

You seem surprised that a private company disallows 'appeals' and the opportunity to turn down cash.

 

It's not a fine, it's an unenforceable invoice. Private companies have no power in law to issue fines.

Hi, regarding the above I have now received a letter of 'notice of intended litigation' from a Debt Recovery Plus Ltd saying that I must pay in the next 7 days or contact them otherwise it will be referred for approval to apply for a County Court Judgement. The cost has now gone up dramatically. I feel quite sick to be honest, does this now mean i will definately be taken to court if i don't pay?

Of course you won't . You are falling into their trap and taking the matter seriously. The "we may take take you to court" letter is just part of their plan to scare people into paying something they don't have to pay. Some people would call this "demanding money with menaces". They won't take you to court, because they won't win.

magsgibson,

I know that the threats make you feel uncomfotable but please remember that you have done nothing wrong. You are being threatened & intimidated because these companies have nothing else in their armoury. They know that many people will pay up for a quiet life and this is how they manage to keep operating. Please have a good look at all of the threads. There are loads of people in the same boat as you, all of whom start out worried and end up simply being angry at the way they are being treated.

Good luck.

Yes, to get a CCJ on someone you just have to fill out a little form and bingo, all done.

 

Utter bollox of course.

Of course not. It's junkmail.

Don't panic - all you have are bits of paper aeroplane material designed to look official and menacing and scare you into paying i.e. it is a [problem] to catch to unwary which will only work if you do not know it is [problem]

 

Ignore works well and the last place they want to end up is court as they would cost them money as they would invariably loose and there [problem] would become even more well known

 

Ignore, ignore and if still uncertain read through the various threads here and then ignore again

I have just received a letter from a company called Parking Collection Services Limited (who are linked to Debt Recovery Plus Ltd) saying they have purchased the debt. (i've previously had 3 from the debt recovery plus ltd). Is this the norm to pass it onto yet another company?

 

What happened to the threat of court action? They know that this threat has not worked, so have changed tactics by referring the debt on. Stand firm and they will have a similar lack of success. Sounds as though they are really scraping the bottom of the barrel now!

There is no debt to do anything with let alone refer on.

Hi

Welcome to The Consumer Action Group.

 

 

I am just letting you know that as you haven't had any replies to your post yet, it might be better if you post your message again in an appropriate sub-forum. You will get lots of help there.

 

Also take some time to read around the forum and get used to the layout. It is a big forum and takes a lot of getting used to.

 

 

Once you start to find your way, you will soon realise that it is fairly easy to get round and to get the help you need.

 

It can be bit confusing at first.

Please be advised that my time will be limited for the next few weeks.Thanks for your understanding.
