    • I can only speak from personal experience. But a similar thing happened to me. Seriously dented door.  I made the other insurance pay. They regarded it as a write off. Took the money, replaced the door. Never heard anything more about it.    Except clearly someone sold my details to claims company, because I got loads of calls in bad English for a few month's 
    • The incident was 03rd March 2024 - and that was the only letter that I have received from MET 15th April 2024 The charge I paid was at the Stansted Airport exit gate (No real relevance now - I thought this charge was for that!!).   Here is the content of email to them (Yes I know I said I was the driver !!!!) as said above -  I thought this charge was for that!! "Stansted Airport" Dear “To whom it may concern” My name is ??  PCN:  ?? Veh Reg: Date of Incident: 03rd March 2024 I have just received a parking charge final reminder letter, dated 10th April 2024 - for an overstay.  This is the first to my knowledge of any overstay. I am aware that I am out of the 28 days, I don’t mean to be rude, this feels like it is a scam My movements on this day in question are, I pulled into what looked like a service station on my way to pick my daughter and family up from Stansted airport. The reason for me pulling into this area was to use a toilet, so I found Starbucks, and when into there, after the above, I then purchased a coffee. After which I then continued with my journey to pick my daughter up. (however after I sent this email I remember that Starbucks was closed so I then I walked over to Macdonalds) There was no signs about parking or any tickets machines to explains about the parking rules. Once at Stansted, I entered and then paid on exit.  So Im not show where I overstayed my welcome.. With gratitude    
    • Just to enlarge on Dave's great rundown of your case under Penalty. In the oft quoted case often seen on PCNs,  viz PE v Beavis while to Judges said there was a case for claiming that £100 was a penalty, this was overruled in this case because PE had a legitimate interest in keeping the car park free for other motorists which outweighed the penalty. Here there is no legitimate interest since the premises were closed. Therefore the charge is a penalty and the case should be thrown out for that reason alone.   The Appeals dept need informing about what and what isn't a valid PCN. Dummies. You should also mention that you were unable to pay by Iphone as there was no internet connection and there was a long  queue to pay on a very busy day . There was no facility for us to pay from the time of our arrival only the time from when we paid at the machine so we felt that was a bit of a scam since we were not parked until we paid. On top of that we had two children to load and unload in the car which should be taken into account since Consideration periods and Grace periods are minimum time. If you weren't the driver and PoFA isn't compliant you are off scot free since only the driver is liable and they are saying it was you.

    • 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 am seeking help from anyone on the forum who may be able to help with this difficult PPI claim against GE Money and Central Capital.

 

we borrowed a total of £183,292 remortgaged in november 2005. during a time of financial dificulties, we applied for the mortgage through Central Capital , and GE money approved the mortgage,

the total amount borrowed includes paying off for 2 other mortgages. other charges on the agreement is: central capital £1,995, GE money £25, processing and completion costs £575, telegraphic tramsfer fee, £50. and Central Capital Limited£6197. Further letters from Central capital outlining the PPI details are as follow, Premium £5901.88, Insurance premium tax £295, Total premium £6197.12. it also confrim that at present interest rate the total amount payable for this insurance will be £10,389,60. I still have the PPI insurance certificate ,issued by wessex group, which expires november2010 , and confirm single premium of £6,197. I wrote to Central capital back in 2009, recieved rejection letter from them , tried to contact them by telephone ,but told at the time they were no longer in buisness . I left it took no further action.

 

i contacted both GE money and Central Capital again in May 2012, after realising they were still in buisness with slight name change, GE money first response letter was to denied PPI is added to the mortgage, and stated i may have negotiate this with the Broker,and have recieved x3 standard letters of refusal , and directed to the ombudsman

Central Trust claimed that i have exausted my claim , and stated i also will not be able to go to omsbudsman because its past the 6months limit to refer.

I then decided to send a final letter of action to both, on 8/1/13,

GE MONEY stated they are unable to consider the case any further , and again refer me to FOS.

Central Capital -they have already investigated and do not intend to undertake any further actions, they stated that that i am free to go o the courts, and sent me their Soliciters details, they conclude that if i chose court action, they will seek to have the matter struck out as statute barred, in accordance with limitation act 1980. and they will seek to recover any legal cost they incur as a result of such application from me.

Ihave recieved full SAR from both.

I am currently paying £960 monthly to GE Money , and now owed about £130,000

Any one can advice me what to do next, I am vey inexperience when it gets to the Legal side.

What are the reasons you gave for the mis-sale?

 

If you go to court for mis-selling, the onus of proof of mis-selling will be on you as the claimant (civil burden on the balance of probability)

 

You would also have to rely on the provisions fo S32(1)© of the Limitations Act 1980 for payments made under a mistake if they are going to say that your action is time barred.

 

Your court claim would need to be against the broker although S56 of the Consumer Credit Act is worth reading regarding a principal being responsible for the actions and representations of its agents etc.

hi there , I need some further advice on the above matter ,

I got an offer of redress from Central Trust today, a total of £8,728,78, the calculation is PPI payment £3,694 plus £1,321,19 of 8% interest tax on interest £264.24 , subtotal = £4,751.51. then a further £3,977.27 was added to reschedule the loan going forward without the cost of PPI, making a total amount of redress to £8,728,78. They claimed that they are unable to fully restructure the loan without the cost of the PPI cover going forward due to previous arrears on the account, therefore in accordance with DISP App 3.7.41 (a) (ii) they intend to make the entire redress payment directly to me, in accordance with DISP 3.7.41b. Please advice me if this information is correct , or shall I contact the Financial Ombudsman or citizen Advice service,

Their principle is correct but whether the figures are correct is another matter.

 

You would need to use the information previously linked so that you can work out whether their figure is correct. There is a spreadsheet in that link which will do the calculations for you.

 

The basis of your maths will be the use of percentages so you need to work out what percentage of the total loan was for the PPI part of the loan and then apply that percentage to the monthly repayments you have made. You then use the spreadsheet for the monthly PPI payments up to the date that the offer was made.

 

Then you need to work out what the as yet unpaid PPI in the loan is so that you can check whether the restructured part of their calculation is correct.
