    • 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 there and good on you for starting to take control...they are sharks and can see from the sum s they are lending you that youve been rolling these loans over and over. As you ve done the best thng and made your money safe, have you closed the old one ? if not you need to or if there is an overdraft report card stolen and direct debits. If your completely safe then put together an email before default day stressing your financial hardship and put what you can afford to repay and dont be bullied into parting with a penny more. Ask for charges and interest to stop to help you repay this debt and repay them by standing order only. Keep us posted

Contact all now, advise them of the situation. Most will not want to play ball to start with.

email wonga, send email to these 3addresses [email protected] and [email protected] and j[email protected].

 

You should get an email back, most likely asking you to call. Call and explain you recieved the email and they will set up plan.

 

Most prefer 3mths, some will accept 6, plead your case you might get 12.

 

Even if they wont accept, adv debt plus 1mths intrest, request sort code acc number and reference number, and make payments.

Makes it harder for them to take you to court.... as you are payng and they are being unreasonable.

 

Remember balance + 1mths interest. no more.

 

Good Luck and say Hello to Life....... a good friend.

I have sent all emails this morning using a template i found on the forums

 

i have just recieved this email back from Quick Quid

 

Dear Nathan Clark,

Customer

 

We received your email regarding your loan balance and your situation has been noted. Unfortunately, we are not able to setup any arrangements on your current balance as it is not due yet. Please not you have an arrangement setup for your default balance of 157.20 on 31/03/2011. Please note, if you can payment your default balance today, you would be able to request an extension on your current balance.

This means nothing other than pay this months interest and then request an extension...should i wait till the 31/3 and not pay so that im in default then resend?

 

i will keep you updated on the others

 

with regard to Microlend i dont know what to do as after reading the forum it looks like they are the only one that will go to court and get a ccj then do an AOE which i cant afford them to do.Should i keep paying them and try and reduce the balance each month any advice would be much appreciated

 

thanks again all

Ok take all the figures of each company and work out what is owed with 1additonal mths interest (pay no more than this). Request their sort code and acc number... with reference number.

Keep bombarding them with emails asking them to accept a plan. Having to wait til you default is Blarney.

Work out a resonable monthly payment and pay it through a bill payment from your bank acc.

The fact you are now making a payment to them, makes it near impossible for them to take further action, as taking you to court would be foolish as your paying a 'reasonable' amount.

Eventually they will have to accept.

They have still harrass and hound.

Yes, with regards to the amount of times you have rolled over the loans you need to work out the repayments as suggested above. One way of doign it is 'snowballing' where you pay the smallest loan off completely, then put the rest in a 'pot' and pay them token payments, then the next loan is paid off the following month, after three months you will have repaid three loans and be in a better position to renegotiate.

 

Otherwise contact one of the free services where you go into a Debt Management Plan and get their help - Payday companies don't like negotiating with them but sometimes it is the only way out of the trap.

Just keep sending the email back, now put in the email that you have now closed that account, and to protect the repayment plans you have already agreed you require paying in details (sort code/acc number/ref number) so you can make payment. Adv them you will not be divulging your bank details to them.

 

Keep sending this everyday until they give the details... they will eventually.

 

If payday loans is your only debt/worry at the moment, you can do this yourself. Plenty of people on here will help. And when you get it sorted, and you done it yourself, and can feel proud you tackled the problem yourself.

Just recieved this from Capital Finance One

 

threatening to call and email me every day and add charges

 

Good Morning

 

Thank you for your E-mail. Unfortunately as your loan is not actually in default at present there is not a lot at the moment that we can do in Relation to your account, I must however advise you of your options and also the consequences of payment not being made. You will have the option to defer your payment by making the Interest payment on your due date, this will then defer your loan until your following pay date. By doing this it means that the account will not be in default and will also save you a large amount of fines and fees on the account. If you do default as per your contract fines and fees will be applied to the account until the balance is settled in Full. You will also receive daily calls/texts and E mails chasing the Debt. After a period of 33 days of being in default the debt will be passed to our door to door collections team. They charge their own fee which for the debt recovery which you will be eligible for paying. We suggest therefore that you try and at least make the interest payment to defer the loan to avoid this. We can also take a payment from your debit/credit card or if needed from someone else credit/debit card who may wish to pay on your behalf.

 

Please advice

 

Kind Regards

Capital Info

QQ wont accept unless over 3 months so you wont be paying them until it goes to a DCA, but i would still keep whatever you offer them on the side.

WDA - they would accept 5 months without hassle if you can do it.

CFO - 6 month plan would probably work for them, but not to sure as not much experience

PDUK - really easy to deal with in my own personal experience, they would probably accept 12 months plan.

MICROLEND - it's a sore topic, i had an AOE from them, but i have learned from my mistakes

WONGA - would bite your hand off for 12 month plan.

 

let us know how they go, dont ignore but be firm with your offers. most of the above will at the worst sell the debt to a DCA who will accept your offer easily, mainly QQ and perhaps wonga but if you email erroll (above) they normally get back to you.

Hi

 

Reading your post its as if i wrote it myself, I too am about to default on paying pay day loans, after months of paying deferral charges I have reached a stage where I can no longer do it, 5 of the 6 lenders you mentioned are the same ones Im in debt to, I have cancelled my card and moved my money into a savings account. I just joined this site and some of the advise i have read has been extremely helpful. I just want to ask if anyone has got into a debt management plan with a company , are they helpful, or will they take my money while the loan companies continue to put charges on my loans, so it will just increase the pressure rather than solve things.

When it cae to default day with me, the companies while maybe getting money by other means will still try your card numerous times. each month i even get textes from LENDUK saying im in arrears until the get their arses into gear and look in their suspense accounts, at which point they find the payment......

 

So even though your on plans still be prepared for the fone calls.
