    • So I just found a couple abandoned traffic cones locally by some bins.   A bit squished but free!  So have placed them on the land.  Will wait to see if the cones get moved and signs ignored again this week before I consider rocks/ boulders.
    • 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 the 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. So if you subtract the time you took to drive from the entrance. look for a parking place and park in it perhaps having to manoeuvre a couple of times to fit within the lines and then unload the children followed by reloading the children getting seat belts on etc before 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

 

I have been a browser of these forums for some time now , to cut a long story short my life going back a few years hit rocks bottom and during that period i got myself into some trouble financially. Most of which I have now rectified however I am left with a few companies chasing me, the advice on this forum is invaluable to me and I have used one of the letter templates to request my CCA from Aktiv Kapital for a debt they claim I owe to JD Williams for £221 I asked them for proof and they sent me a statement of items i had allegedly ordered.

 

Neither my name nor account number was on the statement, I asked them then for the signed credit agreement, they have written back to me today to say they they don't have one but if i pay up £91 in full and final settlement they will change my credit reference file from default to settled. I'm not sure what to do now, I am working on trying to get my credit file sorted so myself and my partner can eventually get a mortgage, but if they are saying all collections will stop because they haven't got the agreement then aren't they wrong to ask me to pay it? I'm quite confused any idea what to send them next? Please see copy of letter i got today scanned.

as it was their charges not YOUR spending that caused them.

The default i am looking at here on Experian is logged in 2007 from Aktiv Kapital (ex JD Williams ) the trouble i have is a settled/satisfied marker is just as bad for me as a default so i am told if i am looking for a mortgage over the next few years. Are they allowed to log a default when they have no proof of a debt like this? I did ask them for the default notice and in the letter it says they are asking JD Williams for it, I never received one back then at all. Yes on the statement they sent to me there are charges but they dont cover the whole debt, they cover just over half of it.

 

Thank you for the replys!

...right I see, if I want the default removed should it be JD Williams I ask or Aktiv? I have sent a copy of their letter to Experian via e-mail, will the fact they don't have proof of the debt or a default notice be enough to make Experian remove it? If not I think I am going to write Aktiv a letter telling them yes mark it as satisfied but I am not paying a full and final unless they can provide proof of debt, which they say they cant. I looked in the letter library here for a template but there doesn't look to be one covering this scenario, if anyone has one i could use and adjust i would be really grateful though, or if someone could point me int he direction of where i could get one. Just the other two collectors on my case to deal with now, Robinson Way..who seem to be walking a fine line with the law and insanity actually and Consumer Credit Finance..but I will make different threads about those and keep you updated on this one here.

 

Thanks again for your reply's!

This is just a bump, I really would appreciate it if someone could tell me what letter i need to send these people now, I need the letter to let them know I am not paying a full and final on a debt they cannot collect on and regardless of that they should remove the default notice as it is therefore unlawful. I have sent their letter off to Experian ..do you think having seen that they may remove it themselves?

 

Thank you in advance x

Sorry to disillusion you IMHO the default is lawful,as although the debt is

not enforceable at the present time it still exists in law,and has been defaulted.

I've argued this point many times and consulted senior lawyers and what they

have said is echoed in this post.

The CRA I expect will refer you back to Aktiv.

thanks for your reply, thats useful to know, I have written them a very short letter, please see below. I wrote it prior to reciving your answer , so I guess just wait and see what happens :-(

Is the fact they have not been able to produce a default notice or evidence of one served taken into account at all?

 

 

To whom it may concern,

 

Please be informed that I have received your letter dated 26/07/2011. Please let it be noted as you have confirmed in this letter that you are unable to supply to original credit agreement and the collection activity is to stop it is therefore not acceptable for you to offer me full and final settlement in return for my default notice to be removed from the CRAs, this is tantamount to blackmail. I am therefore now taking this matter further. I have already sent a copy of your letter to Experian and I am going to be contacting Trading Standards and the OFT as you are clearly acting outside of the law if I do not hear from you within 12+2 days will news that this account is now closed and will not be passed on to any other agencies and that the unlawful default is removed completely from Credit Reference files as per Date Protection guidelines immediately.

 

Please take this letter as final correspondence.

Technically yes it should be, but they could rectify it.

Your letter is ok, and I wish you luck, let us know the response.

  • 2 weeks later...

Update , received a letter this morning after that email I sent and they have ceased all collection activities , closed their file and said they were contacting CRAs to have the default removed, having checked with Experian they have already done it :-) ...very pleased but having read some of the other threads a little bit concerned another DCA will take over from them now , guess its just wait and see
