    • I have received a PCN from Euro Car Parks for MFG - Esso Cobham - Gravesend. I was completely unaware that there was any such limit for parking and always considered this to be a service station. I stopped there to use the toilet, have a coffee and made a couple of work calls. I have read the previous topics on this location which suggest I can ignore this and ECP will not take legal action. The one possible complication is that the vehicle is leased by my employer so I do not want to involve them with the associated reminders and threatening letters. The PCN was first issued to the leasing company Arval who have notified ECP of the hiring company. I have attached a copy of the PCN Notice to Hirer with details removed as per instructions. What options do I have or should I just pay the PCN promptly at the reduced rate of £60? img20240424_23142631.pdf
    • What you have uploaded is a letter with daft empty threats from third-party paper tigers.  Just ignore it. What we need to see is the original invoice you received last October or November.
    • Thanks for posting the CPR contents. i do wish you hadn't blanked out the dates and times since at times they can be relevant . Can you please repost including times and dates. They say that they sent a copy of  the original  PCN that they sent to the Hirer  along with your hire agreement documents. Did you receive them and if so can you please upload the original PCN without erasing dates and times. If they did include  all the paperwork they said, then that PCN is pretty near compliant except for their error with the discount time. In the Act it isn't actually specified but to offer a discount for 14 days from the OFFENCE is a joke. the offence occurred probably a couple of months prior to you receiving your Notice to Hirer.  Also the words in parentheses n the Act have been missed off. Section 14 [5][c] (c)warn the hirer that if, after the period of 21 days beginning with the day after that on which the notice to hirer is given, the amount of unpaid parking charges referred to in the notice to keeper under paragraph 8(2)(f) or 9(2)(f) (as the case may be) has not been paid in full, the creditor will (if any applicable requirements are met) have the right to recover from the hirer so much of that amount as remains unpaid; Though it states "if any applicable ...." as opposed to "if all applicable......" in Section 8 or 9. Maybe the Site could explain what the difference between the two terms mean if there is a difference. Also on your claim form they keeper referring to you as the driver or the keeper.  You are the Hirer and only the Hirer is responsible for the charge EVEN IF THEY WEREN'T THE DRIVER. So they cannot pursue the driver and nowhere in the Hirer section of the Act is the hirer ever named as the keeper so NPC are pursuing the wrong person.

    • 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 guys,completely new to this, any help would b greatly appreciated

have mtg with end and loan with firstplus,, taken out 2004 (if only I knew back then)

 

Wife and self had managed to run-up quite Lot of credit and were basically robbing peter to pay the dreaded Paul. Convinced by their ad. Rang fp and was given a loan to consolidate

 

SOME of them, not all, as ltv on house wouldn't allow any more (even though the fp loan then took us into neg. Equity. Was told had to take ppi, altho could cancel, so first opportunity I did this to make it more affordable.

 

after reletivy short time realised that this Was unaffordable, ended up having to run up more unsecured debt,aswell as missed payments to fp which then led to us taking out a trust deed over 3years.

 

 

this only covered the unsecure lending.

 

 

during this time, contacted fp to try to arrange upping payments to rectify, and was told To do nothing that dd would increase to do this.

nothing changed apart from a slight increase , which I guess now was interest increase.

 

 

promotion opportunity came up for wife which meant us moving. Took long time for me to find a job south after she move (about 2years). Now been south two n half years renting here whilst paying for mtg n fp (tight but manageable) wife lost job 5months ago! So been managing on her redundancy , but not much left.

 

 

occasionally return to house to try to maintain (400 mile drive) and at weekend found letters from fp saying in court 25jan for repossession! And older letters from November warning of this.

 

 

help :( cannot offer more as income and exp. Would go against us until she is again working. Can we ask for continuation? If they take house be huge ammount still left to pay n will never be free.

 

 

ps house is in Scotland, and were currently renting and living in England, until can get job back north.

You need to list all your debts and place them in a priority list starting with the Mortgage + arrears and Council Tax then Utilities and living. What you have left over is what you should divide amongst your other debts and write recorded to them making an offer of that.

 

If you can continue paying the mortgage and a reasonable amount off the mortgage arrears, you should be ok.

 

You could do with having a chat to CCCS (now called Stepchange) which is a debt help charity who will advise and can even set up payment arrangements for you.

Peking out income and expenditure, could we include wife's monthly ammount she adds from what she has saved from her redundancy money? (wil poss only last another 3 or maybe 4 months but would then allow more time to find job, repairs to house etc)

Hi, how much are the arrears ?

heck of a lot, around 20k according to fp :o(. Wife's now waiting to see if needs hysterectomy now also, this is all going to to tip her over the edge. Not sure who or where to turn to right now :( so little time,and so much to lose. If had time to bring house upto scratch and move everything out and sell it, would poss. Cover everything, (tricky with 800 mile round trip however). Saying that, settlement fig for fp of almost 90k us daunting (loan was 71k over 8years ago)

been paying around 770-800 a month to fp for over 8 years, so even deducting the 20k would mean Wed still paid them over 50k. Orig. Paperwork is found they've ticked to include ppi costing over 17k, although I didn't want, was told had to , but could cancel after loan opened so I did, could this still be included? Payments went down,but don't have any figures, or had any letters or statements for years...until these repossession ones now :(

Don't know where to turn :o(

Stepchange seem to want to do income expend. Leading to budgeting idea, which is always helpful, however cannot see as way out of this problem.

contacted another company also that help in repossession cases but charge initially 350 for a number of hours. However seem to know their stuff re fp. And suggested that even though I canceled the ppi, theyve been known to still include it on loan ( just under 18k) which would almost clear the arrears as well as vastly reduce the interest accrued.

However he also said they only deal cases in England and wales,but since fp based wales could maybe go after them to some degree. However I can't afford to risk 350.if nothing comes from it .

If his theory is correct though, would b great.

however income exp. Currently only my salary and wife's input from saved redundancy would only.make thing affordable afew months (unless she finds employment within.that time)

seem trapped....should b applying for assistance from rbs and fp. To reduce payments whilst she unemployed, however, if show can't afford even higher payments will lose our house :(

203 months remaining on fp loan, which would be around 120 ish extra a month, if they was to allow to sprread over it? Would have to use monthly input from wife's redundancy money until she again working. Worth asking? Would also allow more time for her to find work again

It's certainly worth writing a letter to them offering payment - you can find sample letter on page 10 of this guide (you need to enter you r own words where there is writing in blue). http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?325527-CAG-guide-Are-you-facing-eviction-or-repossession

 

Make sure you send the letter by special delivery so they get it before the hearing date.

Send the letter to FP. Then send a copy to Optima with a covering letter stating " please find affixed copy letter for your information"

  • 2 weeks later...
  • 1 year later...

Ended up going with the 350 pounds company who managed to stop court action by offering more cash, however, after redundancy ran out, back to square one.

Have not been able to pay any mtg or firstplus for quite a while

Moved, both working now, but having had to use very high interest loans, are still struggling a bit catching up.

Decree given to Rbs to take house,

I have a meeting Monday with a representative from ' ascent' to see if anything else can be explored re the rbs repo. But also firstplus now going for repo 2nd may??

Can they if decree already granted to Rbs?

Also will be huge.shortfall as fp are claiming 90k owing still to them...

Over 40k of this being interest

Am.I better going for sequestration? Or will they not be able to chase us fir shortfall?

P's..

The two letters sent both to ourselves and court by their solicitors have different amounts as to original. Amount borrowed. Varies by 18k which oddly enough was amount of ppi I was told I would have to take, but could cancel ( which I did before first payment was taken)
