    • 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.

Arrived home tonight and in post today DN issued from Mercers!!!!

 

If I didn't have the knowledge of CAG this would really have bothered me, how would I have had any clue who Mercers are and how can Barclays act this way?

 

I will scan it and post it here tomorrow, but they have got the remedy date wrong! Why am I not surprised?

hiya dotty well mercers did that to me too, and yet it dont show on the credit file and no dn ever has shown to date - so i think it will be just a scare tactic and also im pretty sure mine really wasnt typed up in the way a proper DN should show :wink:

 

im sure others will come along and give further guidance but wanted to let you know my experience hope it helps

Hi Angel,

 

Thanks for that information, it's so annoying that they do this after my OH sent in an I & E and pro-rata offer, they would have had payments by now!

 

Guess it's their prerogative to hassle and stress people out even when a reasonable payment has been offered!

 

Very interesting what you say about CRA's , will keep an eye on them.

 

This is the DN, it was posted 1st Royal mail, so I make date on service 2nd June and 14 clear days = 16th June (I think). They want payment before 14th June which is a Monday so effectively giving only 9 days to remedy!

 

Does anyone know if they Terminate?

You are right that they have not given you sufficient time, the Bank Holiday helped out too!

 

I also think that a DN has to contain the name and address of the original creditor, which this DN doesnt.

Hello Again Dotty:

 

Sorry I have not been back for a couple of weeks.

 

I see you are still having problems with our friends, Mercers (B/C).Following on:-

 

As I said to you earlier...."send a letter to Mercers stating that the figure you are paying is £?. Tell them to please note that this is the maximum payment you are in a position to pay. Tell them also..(.please note that in the interests of keeping an amicable relationship that I require all contact regarding this account to be in writing only. Please take note that under no circumstances will any other form of contact be acceptable. You should take careful note that under no circumstances will any 'phone calls be accepted by me).)

--------------------------------------------------

If you can Dotty, or have not, set up a "Standing Order" with your Bank for the £1 or whatever and advise Mercers in the letter that the date of this payable monthly will be......??? .

-------------------------------------------------------------

 

I have just had another "DN" exactly like yours Dotty. Just let them hang themselves and ignore it for now. If they terminate this will be known by when you receive a demand for the full balance. Then, if the DN is faulty on days then you can send them a "Unlawful Rescission" letter.

 

Repeat! Just sit and wait regards the DN.

(b) Send that letter as above suggestion if I were you .(I did that) and all the calls have now stopped. They have stated though they are applying interest again because I won't pay them a minimum of £5. That is what the DN notice is for £12 arrears!!!!.

 

Let me know how you get on. Whatever you do, as Geoffrey and friends have said...do NOT let them work you up! They enjoy that and will harrass you all the more if you reply to phone calls. Everything in WRITING.

WMR

Hi WMR

 

Thanks for taking the time to post again. Did you see the letter I sent in post 48?

 

Of course no response yet, as expected.

 

If they had been reasonable they would have received over £500 by now but hey ho!

 

Will take a look at your MBNA thread, I am dealing with them myself, both UR, they deny this, but I have proof from SAR.

Whilst I appreciate there are many ways of getting these people of your backs, it seems they are changing their tactics!

 

My OH is being called several times on a daily basis (as early as 8 a.m.) by a company called MKDR!

 

Now the advice here would normally be to send the telephone harassment letter from the library, however these people have never put anything in writing, they don't say what they are calling about, you have no idea who the OC was, so you are stumped!

 

It's one of those times I am tempted to answer a call and give them what for!

 

Brian Carter are doing the same but not quite as frequently, again nothing in the post from them either! :x

They're using automatic dialling software.... and presumably, hoping to drive people nuts and wear them down. I had this with Mercers a few years back and despite sending letters, they carried on. It went on for around 6 months in all..... but they caved in before I did. As hard as it is, try and keep the faith :-)

Red - Lowells' rotweilers are doing the same.. using SMS text messages.. Despite having an ex directory number... BT are apparently passing on everyone's telephone numbers.

Thanks P1, they won't grind us down, it's no problem taking the phone of the hook at night (goodness that sounds a bit dated, but I think you will know what I mean!)

 

No problems (yet) with texts to the landline but will bear that link in mind CB should they become a problem, thank you.

 

I was aware of truecall Rebel but isn't it around £80? Not an expense I need TBH but I have heard it can be very useful. I suppose with having mobiles, we don't tend to use the landline nowadays so I could just un plug it completely!

Original thread here http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?252001-Barclaycard-Oh

 

I know it's been a long time since I posted on the thread but it's basically gone the rounds with the usual DCA's, Resolvecall, Mercers. Power to contact.CLS, Moorcroft, Midas, MK & Chilvers!

 

BC assigned to MKDP in Aug 11, then two letters from MK in Sept 11 and another one from Chilvers & Strachan in Oct 11 stating 'NOTICE OF INTENDED LEGAL ACTION'.

 

MK now issued a claim, no lba but Keynes sent a letter dated two days AFTER the N1 claim, referring to their recent letter (none received) and it gave 7 days to pay OR they MAY issue a claim via Northampton!

 

Having only recently defended one myself from these people, I am of the opinion that they are issuing these claims like confetti in order to get default judgements!

 

I have done the AOS and prepared CCA request and CPR31.14 to MK which will be going in the post tomorrow.

Posted CCA and CPR31.14 to MK, will check for receipt and await their reply.

 

Just want to confirm the date for submitting a defence, the N1 is dated 5th July, I make the last date 7th August. (5 days for service + 14 for AOS + 14 for defence = 33)

Hi Mike at least I know I haven't been sent to Coventry! :-)

 

I've had some professional help with this one and yes the cost will be pursued. I can't say who I've used unfortunately as I would more than likely be cagbotted!

 

What I can say is that they did back off very quickly after it was confirmed that they didn't have the BC CCA but said they may pursue as and when they had the paperwork! :flypig:

 

They had tried to stitch me up by agreeing an extension date which was more than the courts would have allowed, whether this was deliberate or they just didn't have a clue will remain a mystery!

Hi Dotty

 

My guess would be the latter, they probably haven't got a clue

 

Glad you found counsel to assist :-)

 

Not sure how you ended up talking to yourself on here, have been taking a sneaky look at your other thread now and again to see how you've been getting on and completely missed this.
