    • Write to the IPC complaining that UKPC have not observed the requirements of PoFA . IPC  Waterside House, Macclesfield SK10 9NR Dear IPC, I am writing to complain about a serious breach of the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012 by UKPCM. I feel that as it is more a breach of the Act rather than not just  complying with your Code of Practice which is why I am bypassing your operator. Should you decide to insist that I first complain to your operator, I will instead pass over my complaint to the ICO and the DVLA . My story starts with being issued a windscreen PCN on 8/3/24 which was almost immediately removed and a second  PCN was then  sent by post on 13/3/24  [deemed delivered 15/3/24] which I did not receive and had to send an sar to have that particular mess revealed later  but that is not the reason for my complaint. UKPC then sent a Keeper Liability Notice dated 12/4/24 warning me that as 28 days have now elapsed, I as keeper am now liable for the charge.  This is in direct contravention of PoFA since the keeper does not become liable to pay until the day after the original PCN is deemed to have been given which would have been 13/4/24 -a Saturday ]. Not only does it not comply with PoFA but it fails to adhere to your Code of Practice and is in breach of their agreement with the DVLA. You will be aware that this is not the first time that UKPC have fallen foul of the DVLA and presumably yourselves. I have included copies of both Notices for information. You will realise the seriousness of this situation if this is standard practice from the UKPC to all motorists or just those where windscreen tickets are involved since the Law regarding PoFA is being abused and is unfair to misguide motorists. I await your  response which I understand will usually be within a week. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------I would think that should be sufficient for the IPC to cancel your PCN though  you should await comments from the Site team before sending your complaint. Don't forget to include both PCNs.

    • 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 evryone. I just cannot believe what ive been reading in this and another post re CapQuest. Ive been paying them for years re an MBNA debt.

I know i would never have recieved any letter of intention to pass on the debt,as I wasnt even in the country.

 

They just rang me today to say I was 5 days late with my payment. Ive been given a £500 penalty and have just reduced my payments down to £5 pm.

Great info on this site.

Thanks

£500 penalty? what do you mean? If you mean you got a reduction/discount on the total amount of the debt, then stop paying immediately as you are being cash cowed on a bad debt.

Any advice i give is my own and is based solely on personal experience. If in any doubt about a situation , please contact a certified legal representative or debt counsellor..

Hi renegadeimp.

No, they add £500 ontop of my original debt for late payment of our agreed arrangement. They should have got £7 on the 2nd of Aug but didnt get it til 7th...so, £500 please. Theyve added about 5k in total in 5 years.

Ok. Ignore that £500. It is a grossly unfair charge. If you have a statement of account, then im thinking the rest of those charges are unfair and reclaimable.

 

Can i ask if capquest actually own the debt, or are they acting on behalf of another creditor?

 

 

Edit: they reduced your payments because you are being cash cowed big time. Have you considered stopping all payments and requesting a CCA or SAR?

 

Could you also post more info about your debt, as i am 99% sure you are being conned. I will ask an admin to make a new thread for you, so we can help you get these charges removed, and your debt sorted.

Any advice i give is my own and is based solely on personal experience. If in any doubt about a situation , please contact a certified legal representative or debt counsellor..

Hi again. Ido ignore it, in fact, to be honest, I dont really worry about it.

Capquest tell me they have bought the debt, so Im going to follow previously ststed letter templates and get them to prove it..

Have you checked the 3 credit agencies to see what appears on your credit file? Capquest have been known to tell people that they own the debt, but fail to provide any proof.

  • 1 year later...

Ive recently bn sent a letter from Marlin re an alleged debt from Barclaycard (Orig Eggicon card)

Apparently this was an online application and as such, no signatureicon was needed.

 

I do remember having an Egg card, but I also remember the balance being around £300 not the 2428.50 they now assert.

 

This was over 5 yrs ago.

I was further puzzled when I heard recently that Barclaysicon had sold customers info to rogue traders.

 

I have just asked them to send me a signed agreement, but they say the tick box was sufficient... REALLY??

Ive also asked for a full statement of account, Payments made and full balance etc.

Any advice will be most welcome please.

Can you give us some dates? They are correct about the tick box providing that the agreement was post apr 2007.

 

 

When was the last time you made written acknowledgement to the debt or paid anything off it?

 

 

Regarding the amount they say you owe, it isnt unheard of for the dca to add a ton of unlawful charges to it. But it is much more likely the cc company put a ton of charges there. Good news is they can be reclaimed

The owners are now Cabot then, as Cabot have just purchased Marlin Financial!

Wonder if, Cabot will keep Martin Dumphy on?

Looks like they didn't keep Dunphy on; he took the money...

To Renegade Imp.

The debt is from Feb 2005. If it was digitally signed, is this still OK?... I refer to your previous comment about April 2007....How does that work with the CCA and their requirement to send me a true copy of my signed agreement?

 

Ive just found out, by ringing Barclaycard direct that this debt is real and the sum claimed is correct.

I cannot believe that it has taken them 9 yrs to get in touch with me.... I had not even realised the debt existed.

I have moved home 4 times in that time.

I am not aware of any correspondences at all, soI will send a SAR to them so they can prove it...

Without that, shouldnt the debt be statute barred??

 

Im just dumbfounded that this even is here...

 

Any further advice or comments would be appreciated.

Pre April 2007 they should have a copy of the original agreement, signed by you plus all T&C's at signature, any alteration, and the t&c's at closure of the account.

 

HOWEVER, A CCA request doesnt have anywhere near the power it used to, but pre apr 2007, iirc they should have sent out forms for you to sign and send back. Im pretty sure there have been cases where only a tickbox was signed and because there wasnt an agreement, then the debt was unenforceable.

 

Sadly though since the case that caused all these CCA changes, many judges allow the reconstituted CCA to stand as you did take the card and used the money. If i were you, i would be focusing on Possible statute barred status rather than lack of a CCA.

 

I also hope you have reclaimed all those junk fee's they have tried to charge you.

Any advice i give is my own and is based solely on personal experience. If in any doubt about a situation , please contact a certified legal representative or debt counsellor..
