    • 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 still very scared that the bailiffs will come knocking!! without my stuff I cannot work.

 

Agreed, not going to happen.

For any notion of Bailiffs to make an appearance they will need to go to court, then win a judgement against you, then you would need to default on that judgement, then they would need to go back to court where the Judge will decide the best course of action, one of these being the use of bailiffs.

 

A long way to go, and easily defended.

Who ever heard of someone getting a job at the Jobcentre? The unemployed are sent there as penance for their sins, not to help them find work!

It's not the judge's choice, it's the creditors - of course a judge could refuset he actual application for the bailiff's warrant. This is all academic, mind you, as I don't beleive we'll be seeing bailiffs.

Thanks, that I didn't know!

So it really is those with the biggest wallet get to coerce the "justice" system to their favour...

Indeed it is, just as it is in a Magistrates' Court where the Further Steps Notice gives loads of other options - an AOE being the most practical. They do, however, often tend to instruct bailiffs. One can only assume it is almost out of malice.

DO NOT PAY UPFRONT FEES TO COLD CALLERS PROMISING TO WRITE OFF YOUR DEBTS

DO NOT PAY UPFRONT FEES FOR COSTLY TELEPHONE CONSULTATIONS WITH SO CALLED "EXPERTS" THEY INVARIABLY ARE NOTHING OF THE SORT

BEWARE OF QUICK FIX DEBT SOLUTIONS, IF IT LOOKS LIKE IT IS TO GOOD TO BE TRUE IT INVARIABLY IS

Sorry, it wasn't designed to scare.

This is in a different court anyway isn't it.

 

 

As Seq said, it is the creditor's decision

, and even then the court have to approve the course of action

. It is HIGHLY unlikely this will ever go anywhere near bailiffs.

Hi Guys. I have now received a letter stating that they 'WILL' seek their clients instructions to issue proceedings in the County Court with a view to obtaining a CCJ. This is unless they receive a payment of £10,000.

 

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Here is what is states:

 

'We have written to you previously indicating our intention to take legal action should acceptable proposals not be made to repay this debt. We have reviewed your account and payment does not appear to have been made.

 

Unless we receive payment of £10,000 by 14th August 2013 we will seek our clients instructions to issue proceedings in the County Court with a view to obtaining a County Court Judgement. If judgement is obtained we will look to take appropriate action to enforce it if payment is still not made.

 

If you are unable to make immediate payment due to your personal circumstances, then please contact us immediately.'

 

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Please help! this is making me ill... I clearly do not have ten grand to give them and off the advice on here i am reluctant to phone them. All this for a lemon student debt, are they trying scare tactics?

 

Any ideas?

Just to double check, is this the CCA request?

Yes I should have really but have been too scared. So one should go to 'ARROW GLOBAL LIMITED' and one to 'DRYDENSFAIRFAX'? both with the one pound postal order...

 

should I put my address on the sample letter? or leave it blank?

Just the one with the fee to AG, the copy to DF is to keep it in the loop. If it has a standing instruction to file against you and its comms with AG are tardy the copy request should hilite the possibility of a dispute to it.

 

Attach a one line cover note to it's copy stating for its records and awaiting its clients response.

Current full address or it will file the request in the bin.

Ok well the CCA request letters have been posted 'Special Delivery' today to both 'DRYDENSFAIRFAX' and 'ARROWTRADINGLIMITED',

 

 

this I am sure is where the fun begins.

 

 

I will keep you posted. Many thanks again for the help, it is much appreciated.

Assume you had the correct address for each from previous correspondence?

 

Hopefully it will act correctly and comply with the request so you can work out an affordable repayment schedule. The terms may allow for future deferment without penalty but without sight of them and the creditors obligations to you its going to be next to impossible to establish the true indebtedness.

 

I think (due to the age of the agreement) the end result will be for you to enter into a payment plan with the correct value evidenced.

Well I have no correspondence with ARROWS but I used the address at the bottom of the letter for DRYDENS.

 

Do you think it would have been wish just to ignore them, as some of the previous suggestions?

 

Although a common factor in this thread was to send a CCA,

 

i suppose this is to find out the finer details of the debt.

 

Could some of the original information been lost with the passing off the debt from company to company.

'TOTAL CREDIT FINANCE' after a while went quiet,

 

 

why didn't they threaten some kind of action?

 

 

DRYDENS are really putting on the pressure via letters.

 

 

Wouldn't they both have the same agenda and powers?

 

 

Seems strange to me.

TCF were probably just a collection tool, in effect it would have no rights. AG appear to have purchased Salliemae's historical book debts some time ago, DF act (as do Restons amongst others) as AG collections arm and appointed counsel.

Wow it sounds almost military!

 

 

The scare tactics from 'TOTALCREDITFINANCE' were quite harsh so I imagine people would be intimidated by them.

 

 

'DRYDENSFAIRFAX' have the word 'solicitors' associated with them so that would definitely scare people! like me!!

A little reassurance - the wording of the last letter is still ambiguous "we will seek our clients instructions to issue proceedings" doesn't guarantee their 'clients' will say do it. Worded to scare, that's all, you have the CCA request in, wait for the response.

Thanks Homer67, it was with the word 'will' included in the letter that sounds quite forceful and I am sure they do it to be clever. The CCA is sent and I have proof of postage just incase, I will keep you posted as soon as anything happens.

Always remember that these letters are printed by a computer, their threats are more psychological than actual, once this is realised then they cease to have any effect or credibility.

Who ever heard of someone getting a job at the Jobcentre? The unemployed are sent there as penance for their sins, not to help them find work!
