    • Plenty of success stories, also bear in mind not everyone updates the forum.  Overdale's want you to roll over and pay, without using your enshrined legal right to defend. make you wet yourself in fear that a solicitor will Take you to court, so you will pay up without question. Most people do just that,  but you are lucky that you have found this place and can help you put together a good defence. You should get reading on some other Capital One and Overdale's cases on the forum to get an idea of how it works.  
    • In both versions the three references to "your clients" near the end need to be changed to "you" or "your" as Alliance are not using solicitors, they have sent the LoC themselves. Personally I'd change "Dear ALLIANCE PARKING Litigation Dept" to "Dear Kev".  It would show you'd done your homework, looked up the company, and seen it's a pathetic one-man band rather than having any departments.  The PPCs love to pretend they have some official power and so you should be scared of them - showing you've sussed their sordid games and you're confident about fighting them undermines all this.  In fact that's the whole point of a snotty letter - to show you'd be big trouble for them if they did do court so better to drop you like a hot potato and go and pursue mugs who just give in instead. In the very, very, very, very unlikely case of Kev doing court, it'd be better that he didn't know in advance all the legal arguments you'd be using, so I'd heavily reduce the number of cards being played.
    • Thanx Londoneill get on to it this evening having a read around these forums I can’t seem to find many success stories using your methods. So how successful are these methods or am I just buying time for him  and a ccj will be inevitable in the end. Thanks another question is, will he have to appear at court..? I am not sure he has got it in him
    • Here's a suggested modified version for consideration by the team. (Not sure whether it still gives too much away?)   RE: PCN 4xxxxx Dear ALLIANCE PARKING Litigation Dept, Thank you for your dubious Letter Of Claim (dated 29th April 2024) of £100 for just 2 minutes of overstay. The family rolled around on the floor in amazement of the idea you actually think they’d accept this nonsense, let alone being confused over the extra unlawful £70 you added. Shall we raise the related VAT issue with HMRC, or perhaps the custodians of the unicorn grain silos? Apart from the serious GDPR breach you’ve made with the DVLA and your complete failure in identifying the driver, we’re dumbfounded that the PCN is still not compliant with the PoFA (2012 Schedule 4 Under Section 9.2.f) even after 12 years of pathetic trial and error. We also doubt a judge would be very impressed at your bone idleness and lack of due diligence regarding parking periods. Especially with no consideration of section 13 in your own trade association's code of practice and the topological nature of the Cornish landscape versus a traditional multi-storey. And don’t even get us started on the invisible signage during the ultra busy bank holiday carnage, that is otherwise known as the random parking chaos in the several unmarked, unmanaged over-spill fields, or indeed the tedious “frustration of contract” attempting to get a data connection to Justpark.  We suggest your clients drop this extreme foolishness or get an absolute hammering in court. We are more than ready to raise the above issues and more, with a fair minded judge, who will most likely laugh your clients out in less time than it takes to capture a couple of useless ANPR photos. If you insist on continuing this stupid, money grabbing quest, after having all of the above pointed out, we will of course show this letter to the Judge and request “an unreasonable costs order” under CPR 27.14.2.g and put it toward future taxis to Harlyn Bay instead.  We all look forward to your clients' deafening silence. Signed, "Spot". (Vehicle Keeper's pet Dalmation).
    • Paying DCA's one penny, never mind £50 per month is a mugs game, they have really been milking him as a cash cow   See where received a claim form is underlined in your post, you need to click, on that and read carefully, then answer the questions, then copy and paste into a post on this thread Forget the CAB ,  their advice is sometimes weird. Is it worth defending? Lowell brought these debts for 10 p in the pound , years ago, because they are flawed. Think about it! if it was such an easy win, Capital one could have taken it to court and crushed him.  It could be an invalid agreement, default notice, or many other things. In a nutshell , yes, and we can help 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.

The two biggest from a telephone perspective are Stepchange and NDL.

The CAB and Birmingham Settlement are both excellent, too.

Good grief.

sequenci and joshmark

Working in the same city.

One a debt counselor the other has a few debt problems.

What a coincidence.

You could not write this stuff.

Could be minutes apart.

sequenci,i bet you get a lot of job satisfaction from your job.

People come in ,stressed out, anxious(that took some spelling.) and you help them out.

I bet you can see the stress and anxiety fading from their faces.

I feel a tune coming on.

 

 

Help you get rid of any stress.Chill. And pass the time away waiting for updates

And a happy ending.

Had my bit of fame joshmark

A full page in the Telegraph

A journalist came up from London via Euston-no names mentioned.But a well known journalist.

And covered the story.

Went bust,bankrupt and lost my business.Then got repossessed. In the subprime days.

A blog,really i do not understand those.Or where to start.But i do like rambling on about things.

sequencis reply i am looking forward to.

Hoping.

Through help from councils.

Meeting people and sleeping on their floors.

Outside at times.A joiners yard for a while.

Bed and breakfast,hostels,even moved to the North East to find work.

One of the hostels had bars on the windows,a old police station.

Had help from the CCCS, now http://www.stepchange.org/ i believe.

And help from here with debt from members of the CAG

My mother died,my father moved south and i left home with 4.50 and a old casette,Bridge over troubled water it was called.

Here is my favourite tune from back then.

 

 

I was 17.A long time ago.Decision was,North or South.

Appropriate,but that is another story.

I hope things work out for you with your parents.

And you receive the help you need.For debt and the fading addiction.

Take note,which i think you have of all the advice given today.

And of course i will be around,looking out for you.As others will.

Hi Daniella

 

I do usually pay for my car insurance via monthly DD.

 

I cant afford to use my car at the moment but I am still paying my car insurance - i guess there is no way round this.

 

Why do you ask this question Daniella?

 

BTW FOLKS MY PLAN FOR TODAY:

 

Call Santander and cancel all CPA'S on the account - this may cancel my car insurance? Due to go out on the 8th? But i can call my car insurance ppl with new bank details before the 8th? This will also be an interesting call as I will be asking them to remove their own CPA on my account.

Write the 28 day letter to all of my debtors to freeze charges.

Contact national debt helpline and discuss help setting up a DMP.

 

Will they check my budget is as i said? It would take a million years to go through my bank account, i used to have 100 transactions a day to do with gambling.

 

Thanks for help!

Forever, unfortunatley, I myself find it rather a grim place, how about yourself?

 

i will be pming you again soon :)

 

I really love Birmingham. I've been here about a decade. I love the vibrancy, the food, the culture and the music scene. I don't particularly care for the rubbish public transport system, mind you!

Good luck joshmark

Tell us what Santander say.The CPA cancellation.I will be interested to hear what they say.Should be no problem.

Get the persons name and a a ref no for your call.You know what i am getting at.just for the future.

Sounds like you are getting sorted.

I should think they will accept your budget details.Without prying into your bank account.

 

Hi sequenci

Sorry once again i was posting as you posted.

Birmingham-passed through it about 8 times in 2011,New hall Street i think.I will check

There was a Irish Bar next to me.I will check what it was called.

OOps-seems i was on Digbeth high street.The bar may be called The Dubliner.

Where did i get New Hall Street from.Is it near.

Perhaps that is the area where i once had car troubles.

A cathedral was close by ,bells ringing,a clock tower.

I usually was there for about three hours each time.

I used to stand by the railings and watch the people cars and buses go by.

I seem to do strange things,some may feel.

One time i saw this chap coming down Digbeth High Street.

He had a look.A long white beard.Medals pinned to his jacket.

I asked him.Do you mind if i take a photo of you.

He seemed pleased.We had a chat for about 30 mins.A very interesting fellow.About 70

Been through a lot.

Looked a bit like if you remember it,Only fools and horses.Dels Uncle Albert,the navy fellow,but smarter.

Seemed a vibrant place.Busy people.

.A city,i like the feel of the place.

The short times i was there.

On my way south.

Many coincidences in this thread.

Someone who has some debt problems in Birmingham

A debt counselor who lives in Birmingham

Tawny that spent some time there,even if only for a short time.

Connections to the South,the north.

New Hall Street.

What does this mean.

Do not ask me,i have no idea.

 

Had a Landrover,started head gasget problems right outside the back of the railway station.

Really started flapping.At Christmas.

Another busy bar at my side.Will check that name out to.

Went in for a coke.

Took me 5 hours to struggle back to Blackpool.

Birmingham.The countries second city.

 

Just hoping for a happy ending for josh

A end to the problems he is going through

I used to have an appartment on New Hall Street, I REALLY miss it. Loved it so much - within 30 seconds walk I had about 30 restaurants and a similar number of pubs. The shops were just down the road, too.

 

I moved up from the South - as much as I love it down there I actually think my next move might be further up north. Really love the feel of Leeds.

Hi joshmark,

 

The reason I asked is that most car insurance companies are quite reasonable about re-setting direct debit dates and I think you said in an earlier post you could pay it on the 30th. I think you should phone them just before the 8th and say you are changing banks, give them the new details, and change the repayment dates to the 30th. As you are missing a payment for about three weeks they will probably spread the cost of that three weeks over the other payments.

 

What the insurance company have is a direct debit mandate and this is different to a CPA, so you won't have any problem cancelling it with the bank. CPAs are chosen by payday loan companies because they, and sometimes the banks, will argue that you can't cancel them.

 

That is one thing on your list that should be relatively easy to sort out. :-)

BTW FOLKS MY PLAN FOR TODAY:

 

Call Santandericon and cancel all CPA'S on the account - this may cancel my car insurance?

 

A CPA is not the same as a DD Mandate.

 

You can cancel all the CPA's by specifically naming the beneficiaries. You do NOT need to cancel all DD's at the same time, if you don't want to.

 

Just be clear with the bank about what you need to cancel - ie specify the type of payment and the beneficiary (the PDL).

 

:-)

We could do with some help from you

Thank you Daniella that is a great idea!

 

Okay so im gonna call santander and cancel all of my CPA'S - because my car insurance is taken VIA dd - I dont have any CPA'S apart from the one's from payday loans company.

 

I will also inform them that i am emailing over a document for 28 days pause on my loan for me to take financial advice. This will hopefully stop santander taking their loan payment as a direct debit.

 

Then i call my car insurance and tell them im changing bank, i dont have the details yet but if they can change the DD date to 30.08.2013 instead of 08.08.2013 it will give me time to get the money and the account sorted.

 

please let me know if anyone sees an issue with this plan
