    • 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.

I have just received a voicemail from NDR stating:

 

as they have not heard from me they are passing the file over for a home visit and this will incur extra costs. In order to stop the home visit I need to get in contact with them today.

 

Is this legal? and is there anyway that I can stop them visiting my home?

NDR wont come around. Its a scare tactic. If you are still worried, read http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/content.php?441-If-you-do-receive-a-doorstep-visit-we-give-these-suggestions-to-Members

 

 

Also, if they DO come around, if they discuss anything at all with anyone apart from yourself, then they are in breach of the DPA, ICO regulations/guidance and OFT regulations concerning their credit licence.

 

 

Just remember, they have no rights at all, in any way, under any circumstances.

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..

Yes liam they ca do it but, you do not have to speak to any itinerant numpty with no authority. So

Send the following to the Compliance manager at NDR e-mail and RD.

 

Ref: as on their letter.

 

Sir,

 

I refer to your letter dated xx xx xxxx the conents of which have been noted, please take note I have no wish to make a appointment for any agent, representative or employee to visit my home, it is my choice to deal with ALL financial matters in writting therefore no such visit will be permitted. ( I refer you to the OFT Guidance 2003/2012 and the sections regarding the wishes of a debtor (alleged) as too when, WHERE and how they are contacted) should NDR persist with this course of action any such ''visitor'' will be invited to leave the premises immediately, failure to comply WILL lead to their removal.

 

As to costs of any such visit take note no such charge will be paid.

e-mail the delusional Ms Campbel the following.

 

Ref: as on their e-mail

 

I refer to your rather ridiculous e-mail makig threats that seriously breach the OFT Guidance on Debt Collection 2003 update November 2012.

 

One would presume that as ''Debt Manager'' for your appalling company you are aware of the Guidance but for clairification I will spell this out for you:

 

1.''Door agents have been despatched''. Take note I will not discuss any matters with any agent of NDR and as set out in the OFT Guidance 3.9(k) states '' Ignoring or disregarding a debtors reasonable requests as to WHEN

 

2.''Solicitors have been briefed''.& 3. & 4 all amount to a breach of section 3.5 ©. Stating or impltying that enforcement procedures will ensue ........ under circumstances when court judgement has not been obtained.

 

It is my belief also that this e-mail breaches guidance on the manner and content of ''debt collection'' letters.

 

Perhaps you and thos in authority at NDC should study regulation and guidance carefully given that consumers now are empowered by more knowledge than NDR exhibits by sending such comunications.

 

I will now only communicate by letter with NDR all other forms of communication are unacceptable.

 

A copy of this correspondece is being forwarded to the OFT with a comment on the fitness of NDR to hold a Consumer Credit Licence.

 

I have today recveived another ''threat'' regarding ''bailiffs visiting in 4 days'' you must be be aware that this is another serious breach of the OFT Guidance on Debt Collection and as such is being added to my original complaint.

 

How such incompetence is allowed beggers belief and shows your company is totally unfit to hold a consumer credit licence.

 

 

Liam, I will draft a complaint to the OFT for you this lot really are beyond belief.

Thanks for your responses. I am feeling a lot more relaxed knowing that this is a standard letter that is designed to scare and intimate people!

 

I received a text from NDR earlier this morning stating the below.

 

IN 4 DAYS BAILIFFS WILL CONTACT YOU. THIS WILL ADD FEES, LEAD TO COURT ACTION AND DAMAGE YOUR CREDIT RECORD POTENTIALLY STOPPING ANY FUTURE CREDIT - 08433810834

 

I will send a copy of BRIGADIER2JCS's letter above to NDR later today.

 

I am more than happy to repay my original loan amount and any reasonable interest charges. However any mention of a repayment plan seems to invoke a standard template response from NDR!

Ahh the good old texts. Ignore them.

 

One thing i urge you to do is make a full complaint with the OFT and NDR as Brig said. With NDR's complaint, make sure you head it in nice bold letters "FORMAL COMPLAINT". This makes them provide you with a final response, upon which you can take it to the FOS and even further.

 

Please understand that you MUST start complaining, as if you dont, others will get the same treatment too.

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..

OK.

This goes to the Managing Director by recorded delivery, you will need to send copies of all the correspondence received from them, mark the envelope Private & confidential.

 

The Managing Director

NDR

 

 

Formal Complaint/ Breaches of OFT GUIDANCE on DEBT COLLECTION 2003/2012.

 

Sir,

 

I have received a number of commuications regarding an outstanding debt of £ xxx.xx originally from xxxxxxx, the communications received are of a threatening nature and contravene the OFTT Guidance copies of these communications are attached for clarification.

 

I will list the various threats made and outline the breaches of the Guidance for each one.

 

1.An e-mail received on xx xx xxxx states ''we cannot accept payment plans'': OFT Guidance Section 3.7 (j): (physical/pschological harassment). ''Failing to allow for alternative, affordable , repayment amounts when a reasonable proposal is made by a debtor.......:

 

2.NDR has failed to comply with my wishes as to when, where and how I am contacted: (list dates . etc here): Section 3.7 (J) & (k) apply here: '' contcting debtors at unreasonable times.'' and ''ignoring or disregarding debtos' reasonable requests in respect of when, where and how to contact them''.

 

We now progress to the outrageous threats contained in e-mail from one Greg Campbell stated to be ''Debt Manager'':

 

1.Threats of Door step vistors.. see 2. above.

 

2.Bailifs have been informed. Section 3.3 (b) & (d) in particular (d). ''sending misleading communications........: Section 3.5 (b): ' falsely implying or stating that action can or will be taken, when legally it cannot'':

 

3. The statement that ''baliffs WILL call in 4 days. section 3.5 (b) as above is breached as is 3.5 ©:'' falsely stating or implying that a particular course of action WILL ensue before it is possible to know whether such action would be permissible'': A clear breach as bailiff action cannot take place until a CCJ has been obtained and the defendant fails to meet a judgement order.

 

This communication together with copies of ALL the communication is being sent to the Debt Collection Team at the OFT, and comments regarding the fitness of NDR to hold a Consumer Credit Licence will be made.

 

(liam if you wish to make an offer of payment put it here, perhaps amount of loan without any charges and 1 month interest on condition that charges are NOT pursude and all CRA entries are removed).

 

Covering letter to The OFT Debt Collection team.

 

Address to Ms P Ashford

 

Complaint Conduct Breaching OFT Guidance 2003/2012.

 

Dear Ms Ashford,

 

I have received a number of threatening and ''misleading'' letters from Northern Debt Collection Ltd of.... (give full address here) ..................................the communications are from a Greg Campbell who is stated to be ''Debt Manager'' these have caused me much stress and worry, in my opinion this company is unit to hold a consumer credit licence.

 

I am aware that the OFT cannot respond to individual complaints but would hope the OFT can act swiftly on this to prevent this company continuing to threaten debtors in this way.

 

All recorded delivery.
