    • Hi Just to be clear a Notice to Quit is only the very start of the Housing Association going down the Eviction route there is a long process to go. Also to be clear if you leave at the Notice to Quit date only and go to the Council claiming you are Homeless they will more than likely class you as Intentionally Homeless therefore you have no right to be given temporary housing by the Council. The only way that works is when the Court has Granted a Possession Order then you can approach the Council as Homeless with the Court Order. As for the Housing Association issuing the Notice to Quit because there investigation has proved it's not your main residence but you have witness statement to prove otherwise. From now on with the Housing Association you need to keep a very good paper trail and ensure to get free proof of posting from the post office with anything you send to them. You now need to make a Formal Complaint to the Housing Association and please amend the following to suit your needs:   Dear Sir/Madam FORMAL COMPLAINT Reference: Notice to Quit Letter Dated XX/XX/2024, Hand Delivered on XX/XX/2024 I note in your letter that you stated that the Housing Association has carried out an investigation into myself and came to the conclusion that I am not using this property as my main residence and have evidence of this and have therefore issued a 'Notice to Quit' by XX/XX/2024. I find the above actions absolutely disgraceful action by the Housing Association. 1. Why have I never been informed nor asked about this matter by my Housing Officer. 2. Why have I never been given the opportunity to defend myself before the Housing Association out of the blue Hand Delivered a Notice to Quit Letter. 3. I have evidence and witnesses/statements that prove this is my Main Residence and more than willing provide this to both the Housing Association and the Court. I now require the following: 1. Copy of your Complaints Policy (not the leaflet) 2. Copy of your Customer Care Charter (not the leaflet) 3. Copies of your Investigation into this not being my main residence.    As well as the above you need to send the Housing Association urgently a Subject Access Request (SAR) requesting 'ALL DATA' that simple phrase covers whatever format they hold that in whether it be letters, email, recorded calls etc. The Housing Association then has 30 calendar days to respond but that time limit only starts once they acknowledge your SAR Request. If they fail to respond within that time limit its then off with a complaint to the Information Commissioners Office (ICO).     
    • Hi Sorry for the delay in getting back to you The email excuse and I do say excuse to add to your account and if court decide LL can't recoup costs will be removed is a joke. So I would Ask them: Ask them to provide you with the exact terms within your Tenancy Agreement that allows them to add these Court Fees to your Account before it has been decided in Court by a Judge. Until the above is answered you require these Court Fees to be removed from your Account (Note: I will all be down to your Tenancy Agreement so have a good look through it to see what if any fees they can add to your account in these circumstances)
    • Thank you for your responses. As requested, some more detail. Please forgive, I'm writing this on my phone which always makes for less than perfect grammar. My Dad tries but English not his 1st language, i'm born and bred in England, a qualified accountant and i often help him with his admin. On this occasion I helped my dad put in his renewal driving licence application around 6 weeks before expiry and with it the disclosure of his sleep apnoea. Once the licence expired I told him to get in touch with his GP, because the DVLA were offering only radio silence at that time (excuses of backlogs When I called to chase up). The GP charged £30 for an opinion letter on his ability to drive based on his medical history- at the time I didn't take a copy of the letter, but I am hoping this will be key evidence that we can rely on as to why s88 applies because in the GP opinion they saw no reason he couldn't drive i need to see the letter again as im going only on memory- we forwarded the letter in a chase up / complaint to the DVLA.  In December, everything went quiet RE the sleep apnoea (i presume his GP had given assurance) but the DVLA noticed there had been a 2nd medical issue in the past, when my father suffered a one off mini stroke 3 years prior. That condition had long been resolved via an operation (on his brain of all places, it was a scary time, but he came through unscathed) and he's never had an issue since. We were able to respond to that query very promptly (within the 14 days) and the next communication was the licence being granted 2 months later. DVLA have been very slow in responding every step of the way.  I realise by not disclosing the mini stroke at the time, and again on renewal (had I known I'd have encouraged it) he was potentially committing an offence, however that is not relevant to the current charge being levied, which is that he was unable to rely on s88 because of a current medical issue (not one that had been resolved). I could be wrong, I'm not a legal expert! The letter is a summons I believe because its a speeding offence (59 in a temp roadworks 50 limit on the A1, ironically whist driving up to visit me). We pleaded guilty to the speeding but not guilty to the s87.  DVLA always confirmed to me on the phone that the licence had not been revoked and that he "May" be able to continue to drive. They also confirmed in writing, but the letter explains the DVLA offer no opinion on the matter and that its up to the driver to seek legal advice. I'll take the advice to contact DVLA medical group. I'm going to contact the GP to make sure they received the SAR request for data, and make it clear we need to see a copy of the opinion letter. In terms of whether to continue to fight this, or to continue with the defence, do we have any idea of the potential consequences of either option? Thanks all
    • stopping payments until a DN arrives does not equal automatic sale to a DCA...if you resume payments after the DN.  
    • Sleep apnoea: used to require the condition  to be “completely” controlled Sometime before June 2013 DVLA changed it to "adequately" controlled. I have to disagree with MitM regarding the effect of informing DVLA and S.88 A diagnosis of sleep apnoea doesn't mean a licence wont be granted, and, indeed, here it was. If the father sought medical advice (did he?) : this is precisely where S.88 applies https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/64edcf3a13ae1500116e2f5d/inf1886-can-i-drive-while-my-application-is-with-dvla.pdf p.4 for “new medical condition” It is shakier ground if the opinion of a healthcare professional wasn’t sought. in that case it is on the driver to state they believed they met the medical standard to drive. However, the fact the licence was then later granted can be used to be persuasive that the driver’s belief they met the standard was correct. What was the other condition? And, just to confirm, at no point did DVLA say the licence was revoked / application refused? I’d be asking DVLA Drivers’ Medical Group why they believe S.88 doesn’t apply. S.88 only applies for the UK, incidentally. If your licence has expired and you meet the conditions for S.88 you can drive in the U.K., but not outside the U.K.

    • 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.

Wow!

 

I am in exactly the same boat! Similar issues, similar letters, same car park! I found this thread through google.

 

I apologise for the lengthy first post:

 

Like the OP, I received letters from LDK security, and then from Ethical Debt Recovery, and now more recently bpcollins.

 

I wonder if it was my letters that were included in your envelope, as the latest letter I received from bpcollins was dated 30 April 2013, and demanded payment on "4pm on ," - no specified day!

 

The difference between me and the OP was that i didn't pay. I had been visting my granda frequently, most days, and paying the ticket as usual. He was pretty ill, and had a leg amputated. However one saturday night, I was running late. It was dark and wet and I only had about 30 mins of visting time remaining. As i drove into the car park, i ploughed into an unseen pothole which made quite a bang with my car. I was annoyed by this, and as I didn't have the right money to pay the minimum fare, and I was only staying for 30 mins, I decided to risk not getting a ticket.

 

Unbelievably, despite the fact that there was literally just 2 other cars in the car park due to it being a wet miserable saturday night, (around about the same time as the OP) someone had come and given me a ticket.

 

apart from the proximity to the hospital, the car park is in the middle of nowhere. It is a dump, full of pot holes, muddy, no parking bays. Basically just wasteland with a sign stuck in the ground. If I hadn't ploughed into a pot hole i would have paid the ticket, and I stress i paid every other time I had used the car park. I would happily pay whatever fee it is for 30 min stay in that place, but I am no way wanting to pay £170!

 

Now I could use some help, as I have totally ignored the letters I have received.

I could possibly have appealed, as my parents were in the car park at a similar time to me, and they had paid for their ticket, which (I think) I have kept somewhere. I had considered saying it had fallen off the dashboard. I guess I must be too late to appeal now though, as this was towards the end of 2012, and I was only given a set period of time in which to protest.

 

LDK initially spelt my name correctly, but 'Ethical debt collection' and 'bp collins spelt it incorrectly'. Would this make any difference? Is this a genuine excuse for me ignoring the letters?

 

Do you think I should follow the same advice you have given the OP, and just ignore these now? Or Should i still try to appeal as advised in an earlier thread?

 

I had started to get concerned by the threatening letters, but finding thsi site and this thread has made me feel calmer about it all. Thank you.

 

Well defo make a small donation to this site once this is all concluded.

Thanks for moving the post here. Not sure if I have anything more to add really, I'll update here if i get summoned to court, but for now, unless anyone has any questions, I'll just see if I get anything more through the post.

 

Thanks all.

Why bother giving them any credibility for their actions by mitigating your actions. If you want to write to them then tell them that it is a disputed debt and any further correspondence will result in a complaint to the reguklatory bodies for harassment.

Never ever contact Debt Collectors they are powerless to do anything to you and any contact will simply convince them you are a 'live one' and ready to finance their lifestyle.

 

Just ignore this and it should go away, if you are one the very few who receive stamped official court papers then come back here for the defence which the PPC cannot argue against.

Hi shearclass and all!

I'm pleased I found this thread. I've been at this car park today and received a fine.

 

I actually tried to pay but 1 machine said out of order and the other wasn't accepting money. There were lots of people hanging around concerned but we were running to an appointment in the hospital so I took number from the board and called them.

I was advised by the customer services to walk back to car park and use mobile to pay from number on machine.

I explained I wanted to pay over phone with her but she insisted she could not take payment and I was to walk back to car. At this point I advised I was calling her to advise HER machines were out of order and I wasn't going to be late for a hospital app for the sake of £2!

 

On returning to the car mine along with many others were ticketed.

This is despite us writing a note displaying on windscreen that machines were out if order and what time I entered car park.

 

I'm actually furious they are charging me £60 or £30 if I pay in 14 days for their issue.

 

My friends advise me to ignore it. I keep reading that letters will come but will at some point stop.

 

Please can anyone advise???

Hi Tilly,

Others may disagree but this is what I would do.

 

1. Appeal the ticket to LDK and when it comes back as rejected, ignore. This just wastes their time

 

As far as I can tell LDK are not part of POPLA so no appeal there.

 

There is nothing they can do, especially if they are not the land owner. Only the land owner OR their agents (if allowed in the contract) can take action

If you are asked to deal with any matter via private message, PLEASE report it.

Everything I say is opinion only. If you are unsure on any comment made, you should see a qualified solicitor

Firstly it is NOT A FINE!! It is a speculative invoice which you do not have to pay

 

You can ignore or you can hover your mouse over the word ignore and follow that advice

 

Ignore is old advice now and personally I prefer to send an appeal to the PPC which will get refused - do not misunderstand this, there is NO appeals process for PPC's, they simply reject your appeal and tell you so but...

 

With your rejected appeal they have to provide you with a POPLA number which you then use to appeal and give the circumstances of the reason for the PPC raising their invoice and in this case as their machines were not working they haven't got a leg to stand on, however...

 

Remember to include in your POPLA appeal the request for a breakdown of costs to show that the invoice is an accurate representation of their losses and not just some random figure that is a punitive amount - this they cannot do and POPLA should allow your appeal, but...

 

If POPLA don't allow your appeal then it is only binding on the PPC and not you, you can then ignore, sit back and wait to see if the PPC send official stamped court papers, if they do then you enter the defence in the stickies (basically the same reasons as in your POPLA) and it is likley the PPC will pull out before it goes to court, if...

 

It goes to court then there are plenty of previous examples heard at County Court where these charges have been declared unenforceable by Judges and the case will be dismissed andat that point you can claim your costs - the fun part!
