    • 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.

Your CRA file doesn't show any positive balances, only negative ones. The absence of a negative balance only implies that the actual balance is greater than or equal to zero. So they can't find out how much cash is in your bank account that way.

 

Once they have a CCJ for the debt concerned, things change. You would be required to reveal your financial circumstances if you wanted to pay off a CCJ in instalments and the court officer would ask to see bank statements. If you don't pay then you can be ordered to provide this information. Some creditors would just go straight for an Attachment of Earnings Order.

 

In theory, after getting a CCJ, they can also apply for a Third Party Debt Order to force your bank(s) to reveal your balance and then to seize the money concerned. These are extremely rare for individuals, since the creditor has no way of knowing which bank you're actually keeping money in, whether the order will actually work, and if there is no money then the order is a waste of time, because it is only effective for one enquiry.

 

It is possible that DCAs share information amongst themselves about bank balances, almost certainly if one DCA is handling multiple accounts, but this sort of practice is probably highly dubious!

When you say 'unenforceable', are you referring to a pre-2007 account? There are a lot of threads about that on here, because it's quite a minefield.

 

Or do you mean Statute Barred, in which case when was the last payment made (it needs to be more than 6 years ago to be unenforceable through the Courts)?

It sounds a bit like debt avoidance to me.

Any advice i give is my own and is based solely on personal experience. If in any doubt about a situation , please contact a certified legal representative or debt counsellor..

Would make it unenforceable in court, but they can still chase you, mark your credit file, and gain a CCJ. They just cant enforce the CCJ. Perhaps make them a very small F&F?

Nah, not interested in f&f, they'll mark my credit file as partial satisfied and flog on the rest to another DCA.

 

Original creditor has already marked my credit file with a default three years ago, so my file is trashed. Don't need, want or use credit any more so not too concerned with my credit file.

 

I've been chased continuously over the last three years by a succession of DCAs so unless they go ahead with legal proceedings, I can cope with the chasing.

 

Confused?? How is it possible to obtain a CCJ whilst at the same time it being unenforceable in court?

Depends who the creditor is Some DCA's are vindictive and if they cant get money out of you, theyll take you to court and try and get a CCJ just to ruin you for the next 6 years.

Capquest is the DCA, heard they're a pretty nasty bunch.

 

I'll treat them like the other DCA's I've dealt with - polite, keep to the facts and hopefully convince them I know what I'm talking about and won't be intimidated by the threat of court action.

Be careful with crapquest, they will call your bluff, so make sure you have all the paperwork and evidence ready, just incase they go through with a claim.

As the title states, does anyone have an arrangement with a DCA for communications via email?

 

Can I insist upon communications via email or is any such arrangement at the discretion of the dca?

 

I've received letters from DCA's recently where the difference between date on the letter and date received is several days.

Who is the DCA in question?

I would say Yes to this. I have done this with Lowell as it's just as valid as a normal letter.

Make it clear to them that you want to correspond via email only.

 

We could do with some help from you.

Great, DCA in question is capquest.

 

There's some freeware software that tracks and confirms when a sent email has been delivered and viewed, any ideas on the name, I think it's pig something?

In addition to the issue mentioned above, I sometimes work away for a couple of weeks and with nobody at home, letters lie around unanswered for a while. It's not worth setting up mail forwarding as I'm living in different hotels on the most part whilst working away.

 

Whilst I loathe the parasites that are DCA's generically and capquest specifically and do everything in my power to frustrate them as often as possible, I don't want to appear to ignore letters when in reality it's a combination of them falsifying their letter dates and me being away from home for a bit.

 

Anything that prevents them or gives them an excuse from pushing my case to the top of the litigation pile, gets my attention.

I've been communicating with various DCAs around an old LTSB CC for years and with capquest having purchased the debt from Lloyds, they are beginning to get somewhat more aggressive in their stance of late.
