    • ive already CAREFULLY explained how it all works earlier. what you will have to pay is already preset and detailed on the court forms/TfL stuff you already have. you wont be asked any questions upon your financial means etc. thats not under debate . you wont be asked upon any mitigating circumstances, you have pleaded guity which you always SHOULD.  the ONLY 2 reasons you are attending is to: 1) after finding the TfL prosecutor... plead directly face to face before you go in to try and get an OOC (you can bring up or say anything/everything you like ...anything that might get them to agree) 2) if 1 fails...show your genuine remorse face to face to the magistrate, BRIEFLY mention how a criminal record would hinder your future then hope they take pity on you and dont also record this on your file.  PS its only declarable/shows there for one year anyway. regardless to what an employer might ask in job questionnaires past 1yrs you forget about it. they cannot see it even on enhanced DBS etc etc. you should not latterly ever appeal a criminal record for this type (1yrs)  of 'offence' its not worth it and if you lose said appeal it will cost your dear in terms of additional wages grabbing and court fees. and extends the time it shows if you lose too. dx

    • FTMDave - your cold light of day suspicions are correct, alas. Just had this back... Thank you for your email. I was very sorry to learn that you recently received a parking charge notice after shopping at our Kearsley Manchester Rd Express store. I appreciate this is always frustrating, especially as you'd just nipped in for the one item. I've had a look, and I can confirm that in this case the car park at this store is entirely owned by a third party - it is not owned or operated by Tesco in any way. The parking charge issued is on behalf of that third party, although I appreciate it does state Tesco on the letter. Regrettably as the car park is owned and operated by a separate company we don't have any form of influence or control over the parking charges issued. In this case, I can only recommend that you follow the appeals process outlined on the letter directly to take the matter up with UKPPO directly. I'm sorry that I cannot offer further help in this case.  Please do not hesitate to contact me again should you require anything further.  Kind regards Ewan Kelly Customer Service Specialist On behalf of the Chief Executive’s Office

    • 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 all - due to default on my QQ loan next week. I have been paying £100 interest every month for quite a while now and I just want to pay it off..

Been looking through a few threads which I have found to be very helpful - thanks!

I have cancelled my card and made sure they have no DD set up.. Im also prepared for the email ping pong aswell with them. Im just want to pay it off and I know that they are buggers for trying to set up a plan..

Also heard the DCA they pass to are awful! Any further help or tips would be verrrry welcome..

First time on here too hope ive posted this in the right place 8-)

Hi tink. Welcome to cag. You are doing it all right. All you need to do now is wait for dca contact. You are the one in control now. Some of their dcas are very easy to deal with, some like muckhall are a pain. Never seen a qq court case! Post again when you hear from them.

Well done for changing bank accounts - watch out for emails from other payday loan companies asking for your details - QQ have been known to glean info from these emails you don't want them to have.

 

I went through a barrage of phone calls from them both at home and at work, I refused to give security details, especially as they didn't identify themselves as Quick Quid, I had Double Q, Q lending, Q collections amongst others.

 

Once you stand your ground and they realise you know what your rights are they tend to sulk... watch out for the 'Phillips Specialist Bailiffs' or Marstons Bailiffs letters, in this case the bailiffs CANNOT use their bailiff powers to collect on a civil debt... if you get any letters or emails which are threatening send them to Trading Standards.

Mine was paid back late last year.

 

Cancelling your card isn't always enough, get another account for your main income source to go into to safeguard it from 'being arrested' as they love to state.

 

Halifax do a good online account with online banking and telephone support and they don't do a credit check.

If you have paid more than originally borrowed give them a call before thursday see if they will accept a sum to close the account.

 

if you default they will add hundreds more in charges and default fees you have nothing to lose at this stage, they can only say no (which will leave you in the same position you are in now)

Yeah ive opened a new one with halifax already, my wage will get paid into the one QQ have though so im going to have to keep a check and make sure they dont set up a DD before I get chance to transfer my funds to my halifax account.

26072004 - will they refuse to discuss my account though because I havent yet had a default on the account? Just read that a few times on here thats all.

Afternoon Everyone!

Been waiting for my QQ payday loan to be passed on to DCA and I have now received a letter from Mackenzie Hall stating that ive been issued a default and have 7 days to pay or it will go to court etc..

Is this normal? Should I now be contacting the DCA to arrange a payment plan?

Thanking You!

there are plenty of threads here which outline what to do

 

have a read

 

the more you read the stronger we become

 

dx

please don't hit Quote...just type we know what we said earlier..

DCA's view debtors as suckers, marks and mugs

NO DCA has ANY legal powers whatsoever on ANY debt no matter what it's Type

and they

are NOT and can NEVER  be BAILIFFS. even if a debt has been to court..

If everyone stopped blindly paying DCA's Tomorrow, their industry would collapse overnight...

Hi again!

 

After a bit of research and please correct me if I'm wrong ...................

 

Did you actually receive a Default Notice from Mucky Hall or QQ? If not, then they cannot take any action, including court action unless a default notice has been issued.

 

I think it's Bully Boy tactics here hun. They can't take you to court after 7 days - typical scaremongering - total barstewards imo. If they did send you a Default Notice You need to speak with whoever sent you it and come to an arrangement with them. Stick to your guns and keep a copy of all correspondence. They will eventually come to an agreement but only agree to pay the loan plus one month's interest. Remember if this does go to court (which it very likely will not) then you have a right to defend yourself and no court in the land is gonna take mucky hall's side especially if you try to come to an agreement with them. I think most creditors would prefer to come to an arrangement without going to court.

 

Let me know how it goes x

Mucky hall are a joke a q'q debt I have went to them about a year ago I tried to come to an agreement but they were not having it so I advised them accept my proposal or sod of (50 per month for a £600 debt)

In the end they said it was not enough so I just thought sod em.

I Have received numerous letters from them i.e

-pay within 7 days or we will take you to court

-we will send doorstep collectors within 7 days

- (I like this one) we have been left with no choice but to start court proceedings.

-and various offers of an early settlement.

Now I have received a weird letter saying "we have obtained this address as a financial link from a credit reference agency if you are not the named person please contact us"

As far as I am concerned mucky hall are one big joke and they should be ignored. (Personal opinion)

Hi Paxon - that's hilarious - SOD OFF to the DCA's :heh:

 

So basically they have made idle threats with no intentions whatsoever of carrying them out? So don't these people want their money or what? Or do they just enjoy harrassing people. Have they added loads of charges?

Glo,

If you look through/Google Mackenzie hall there are copious amounts of threads on all forums about them and there collection tactics.

It does seem they are idle threats as the letter categorically stating we WILL be issuing a claim at Northamptonshire county court within 7 days was sent to me 6 months ago.

Don’t get me wrong I have seen posts where they have taken people to court, though I would not be surprised if someone working for them was the poster that’s the sort of company they are.

Well you will have to refer that question to another more informed poster as I have been lucky as I have 14-15 creditors and am lucky as of yet no one has issued a claim.

 

I think but don’t quote me the dca/creaditor will issue the claim to the court then the court will send a summands and a poc (particulars of claim) for you to file a defence with a deadline for you to send it back. Then you go to court on the date they have gave you to fight your corner.

 

But I doubt you will be getting one of these from Mackenzie hall
