    • Write to the IPC complaining that UKPC have not observed the requirements of PoFA . IPC  Waterside House, Macclesfield SK10 9NR Dear IPC, I am writing to complain about a serious breach of the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012 by UKPCM. I feel that as it is more a breach of the Act rather than not just  complying with your Code of Practice which is why I am bypassing your operator. Should you decide to insist that I first complain to your operator, I will instead pass over my complaint to the ICO and the DVLA . My story starts with being issued a windscreen PCN on 8/3/24 which was almost immediately removed and a second  PCN was then  sent by post on 13/3/24  [deemed delivered 15/3/24] which I did not receive and had to send an sar to have that particular mess revealed later  but that is not the reason for my complaint. UKPC then sent a Keeper Liability Notice dated 12/4/24 warning me that as 28 days have now elapsed, I as keeper am now liable for the charge.  This is in direct contravention of PoFA since the keeper does not become liable to pay until the day after the original PCN is deemed to have been given which would have been 13/4/24 -a Saturday ]. Not only does it not comply with PoFA but it fails to adhere to your Code of Practice and is in breach of their agreement with the DVLA. You will be aware that this is not the first time that UKPC have fallen foul of the DVLA and presumably yourselves. I have included copies of both Notices for information. You will realise the seriousness of this situation if this is standard practice from the UKPC to all motorists or just those where windscreen tickets are involved since the Law regarding PoFA is being abused and is unfair to misguide motorists. I await your  response which I understand will usually be within a week. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------I would think that should be sufficient for the IPC to cancel your PCN though  you should await comments from the Site team before sending your complaint. Don't forget to include both PCNs.  
    • Hi DX, Sorry, fell asleep as I was up all night last night writing that statement. Yes, I attached the rest of the witness statement on post 50, bottom of webpage 2. That's the important part.  It looks like the lawyer who wrote Erudio's Witness statement does not work for them any more. So, I'll have another lawyer representing instead. Not sure if I can use Andy's hearsay argument verbally if that happens.... I did not put it in writing. Apart from not sending deferral forms, my main argument is that in 2014 Erudio fixed some arrears mistake that SLC made and then in 2018 they did the same mistake, sent me confusing letters. What is the legal defence when they send you confusing material?

    • That isn’t actually what the Theft Act 1968 S1 actually says, BTW. https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1968/60/section/1 (1)A person is guilty of theft if he dishonestly appropriates property belonging to another with the intention of permanently depriving the other of it;   The difference between what you’ve said and the Act? a) intent to permanently deprive rather than  just depriving (which is why the offence of “taking without consent” was brought in for motor vehicles, as otherwise "joyriders" could say "but I intended to give it back at the end") b) dishonesty : If I honestly believed A's pen belonged to B, and took it and gave it to B - B might be found guilty of theft but I shouldn't be.

    • 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.

Good morning

 

After my success in Court on Wednesday I get in from work yesterday to a letter from NR confirming the arrangement.

 

However, they are demanding another £133.30 in addition to the agreement.

 

What can I do? The judge has already said that if payments are not paid on the 1st of every month then NR can seek possession without going back to court.

 

Your advice please?

 

Thanks

Hi All,

 

Well, I didn't think I would be back here again so soon!!

 

I went to court last year (August) regarding a enforced repossession order and it was suspended and a payment plan agreed by the District Judge.

 

Payments have been paid every month and we are currently waiting for Northern Rock to review compounding the arrears (taken three months). We made a late payment in April as my other half's work colleague died (he did the payroll, and wages were week late) but made two payments in May to bring us up to date. We have also paid amounts over the arrangement to help bring the arrears down.

 

On Tuesday we received a letter informing us that NRAM are enforcing the repossession. When I called them I was told that as there was no formal arrangement in place they were going for repossession. I asked if there was anything we could do and were told to supply wage slips bank statements etc., They did this to us last time and gave us the false hope that they would cancel it but at last minute said only payment of full arrears amount would stop it. I have spoken to them for an hour today and even though the arrears have gone down by £3,000 they say this is not enough and they want the whole amount of £18,000.

 

I am at my wits end with them, how can this be allowed and what do you think a judge will say when he sees all the payments have been made and NRAM are the ones being awkward. They are confident as they will slap the court charges onto our arrears and earn even more money from our misery!!!

 

All advice would be gratefully received.

 

Many thanks

Unbelievable ! if you have made payments in accordance with the order the judge gave at the hearing, how on earth do NRAM think they are going to get possession ?and what do they mean there is no formal arrangement in place - how much more formal can you get than a judge? they cannot ask you to pay more than the court order

 

- if they do go for possession we will help you defend and look forward to the judge giving them a very hard time! and they won't get to add legal costs to your account as they are bringing the action without cause.

I'm so glad you agree with me Ell-enn as usual you are a wonderful support!! Thank you.

 

We entered into a new arrangement once the one the judge inforced expired for £200 less than the judges arrangement which NRAM agreed as this would be around the repayment once the arrears were compounded. We were told it would take 7 days to confirm the compounding of the loan but some three months later we have heard nothing!!

 

How can they be allowed to be such bullies? It made myself and my partner so ill last time and they seem hell bent on a rerun!! I have been told the only way to cancel eviction is to pay whole amount. I spent an hour on the phone with them today being kept on hold for most of the call whilst the young lady checked with her manager. They ran through income/expenditure with me, then asked for the wage slips and bank statements, when I asked if this would stop court action was told no!! Why ask then?? They did this last time to try and drag out the process leaving us to see a judge half an hour before the eviction. I will never forgive them for the stress and worry they cause wish I could take legal action against them!!!

Hi yeah we have the arrangement in writing but they say we broke it in April because of the late payment. This was made up early May then another payment for May at the end of the month.

 

The judge made the enforcement for three months and when we questioned this the judge said just keep paying them and they would have no reason to go back to court.

 

I just don't understand this at all!! Apparently someone reviewed it and as there was no formal agreement in place in June they have decided to enforce repossession.

 

Amazingly I got a letter yesterday informing me that they get busy on the last day of the month so to make our payment early to save their poor busy staff!!

 

We have one late payment and that is it which was explained fully at the time.

 

They will not budge on this so unless I can find £18K we are back to court!!:sad:

I think it would be a good idea to go back to court ! If you have £80 it would be worth applying on an N244 to get before the judge and put your side of the story before NR issue further proceedings. That way you can get a payment arrangement formalised by the court and if you keep to it there is nothing NR can do about it. If you can prove all the payments you have made and show the court their letter regarding the arrangement then you will have the judge on your side.

Hi

 

I have all the statements here! That will be my next move I don't think my nerves will be able to stand another scenario like last time!

 

Do they not care about what this does to people??

 

Glad us tax payers bailed them out, for us to be treated like this, after all most of the blame for the country's financial situation lies firmly with them!!!

 

And the arrears have gone down in 9 months by £3k I just don't understand why they are doing this!!

 

My thanks to you

Hello everyone. Well, it looks like I spoke too soon regarding these people. My partner and I have been paying under the arrangement and have not missed one payment in over two years, bringing the arrears down by some 6k. All was going well until I lost my job at the end of August, I called NR to explain the situation and paid £1,000, and agreed to pay £300 on top of the usual payment to clear up the shortfall. I was told to go through an income/expenditure form, (where the call centre operative told me that as I was earning more I needed to pay more) but to make the payment at the end of October and they would then make a new arrangement. Oh if only ..........

 

In the post today I get a letter from Wallers their solicitors saying they are applying to enforce the Order for Possession. You can imagine how I feel when some 20 minutes after the postman the Bailiff then drops in the Eviction Order.

 

I know that it will mean another day in Court but I am not sure that I can do this anymore, the arrears are going down I haven't missed a payment and it seems that all these lenders want to do is see hard working people out of their homes.

 

I cannot go to Court until next week to ask for a hearing can anyone please advise?

 

Many thanks and apologies if I should have added this to my previous threads of over a year ago.

Hi, we went to Court where the judge told Northern Rock(solicitor) in no uncertain terms not to do this again to us. They then bleated on about negative equity etc and the Judge then said well you lent the money you only have yourselves to blame. No payments have been missed since until this recent one. I will be paying the full payment (plus the shortfall) next week. Thank you.

OK, well obviously you need to point out to the judge this time that despite what he said they have done it again. Do you need help with the N244?
