    • sorry she is a private individual, the cars are parking on her land. she can clamp the cars. only firms were outlawed from doing it bazza. thats what the victims of people dumping cars on their drives near airports did and they didn't not get prosecuted.    
    • The DVLA keeps two records of you. One as a driver and one for your car. If they differ you might find out in around a month when they will send you a reminder as well as to your other half for their car. If you receive nothing then you can be fairly sure that you were tailgating though wouldn't explain why they didn't pick up your car on one of drive past their cameras. However even if you do get a PCN later the your situation will not change. The current PCN does not comply with the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012 Schedule 4 which is the main law that covers private parking. It doesn't comply for two reasons. 1. Section 9 [2][a] states  (2)The notice must— (a)specify the vehicle, the relevant land on which it was parked and the period of parking to which the notice relates; The PCN states 47 minutes which are the arrival and departure times not the time you were actually parked. So if you subtract the time you took to drive from the entrance. look for a parking place and park in it perhaps having to manoeuvre a couple of times to fit within the lines and then unload the children followed by reloading the children getting seat belts on etc before driving to the exit stopping for cars, pedestrians on the way you may well find that the actual time you were parked was quite likely to be around ten minutes over the required time.  Motorists are allowed a MINIMUM of ten minutes Grace period [something that the rogues in the parking industry conveniently forget-the word minimum] . So it could be that you did not overstay. 2] Sectio9 [2][f]  (ii)the creditor does not know both the name of the driver and a current address for service for the driver, the creditor will (if all the applicable conditions under this Schedule are met) have the right to recover from the keeper so much of that amount as remains unpaid; Your PCN does not include the words in brackets and in 2a the Act included the word "must". Another fail. What those failures mean is that MET cannot transfer the liability to pay the charge from the driver to the keeper. Only the driver is now liable which is why we recommend our members not to appeal. It is so easy to reveal who was driving by saying "when I parked the car" than "when the driver parked the car".  As long as they don't know who was driving they have little chance of winning in court. This is partly because Courts do not accept that the driver and the keeper are the same person. And because anyone with a valid motor insurance policy is able to drive your cars. It is a shame that you are too far away to get photos of the car park signage. It is often poor and quite often the parking rogues lose in Court on their poor signage alone. I hope hat you can now relax and not panic about the PCN. You will receive many letters from Met, their unregulated debt collectors and sixth rate solicitors threatening you with ever higher amounts of money. The poor dears have never read the Act which states quite clearly that the maximum sum that can be charged is the amount on the signs. The Act has only been in force for 12 years so it may take a  few more years for the penny to drop.  You can safely ignore everything they send you unless or until they send you a Letter of Claim. Just come back to us if they do send one of those love letters to you and we will advise on a snotty letter to send them. In the meantime go on and enjoy your life. Continue reading other threads and if you do get any worrying letters let us know. 
    • Hopefully the ANPR cameras didn't pick up the two vehicles, but I don't think you're out of the woods just yet. MET's "work" consists of sending out hundreds of these invoices every week so yours might be a few days behind your partner's. There is also the matter of Royal Mail.  I once sold two second-hand books to someone on eBay.  Weirdly the cost of sending them separately was less than the cost of sending them in one parcel.  So to save a few bob I sent them seperately.  One turned up the next day.  One arrived after four days.  They were  sent from the same post office at the same time! But let's hope I'm being too pessimistic. Please update us of any developments.

    • 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 default was on my credit file, but expired in January/February this year.

So when was the last payment and/or written acknowledgment of this debt?

 

 

I looks like Lowlife a chancing their arm again, the debt is probably already SB or nearly so, that's the reason for the 70% discount.

Last payment.

 

The debt defaulted over 6 years ago when I unfortunately lost my job as many did in those days after the credit crunch started hitting. I got new employment and started payments up again, and the last payment on account was December 01 2008 and I disputed the account with HFC.

 

I recieved a letter from HFC which told me that they might have added PPI to my loan without giving me the terms and conditions, and offered to have it removed. But when I called up to take them up on this offer I was told no, and this is the reason I disputed the debt and stopped paying.

 

Forgot to mention: I forgot cancel the direct debit, so there was a bounced payment in January and February in 2009, which shows up on the accounts as payment/reversal of payment. The reason they bounced was that I was the victim of identity fraud and my account was emptied out over christmas that year. HSBC who I was banking with refunded me all the bounced DD charges and the stolen moneys 6 months later.

Best to string Lowlife on for 3 months then, 70% discount so close to SB bl**dy cheek.

Anything I should do to string them along? Ask any questions, or just ignore them? They could in theory take me to court before then right?

In theory yes, but as nothing has been done in all this time highly unlikely now.

Lowell are not shy about litigation is they believe they have even a fair chance of

success.

Ignore I think!

Just had another letter from Red stating they are now escalating it to Hampton legal with a recommendation to apply for a CCJ.

 

Then it goes on about the ramifications of a CCJ.

 

Threatogram?

I know that it's the next bloke down the line, but I've not seen that line before: Our recommendation to Hampton Legal is to apply for a CCJ.

 

Just wanted to know if anyone else have seen that, and if they actually went through with it as I now have 2.5 months away from a statute barring of this disputed debt (Dispute with original creditor re PPI).

Hamptons are likely to farm this to one of the tame solicitors (Bryan Carter instance) to issue a claim so a little more time will be wasted there.

 

 

Looking back to July Lowell were threatening court action within 7days and nothing has happened.

 

 

What has Lowell produced to support their claim?

Is there anything I can do to slow this down, I really don't want to deal with this in court.

 

 

This seems to be going in the usual circle of "escalations" to various departments of Lowell more often than not after Hamptons

the debt gets back to Lowell's ordinary collections activity.

 

 

How much is the debt for? To take it to court it has to be financially viable, but I think the discount offers indicate desperation to get something before it becomes SB.

The debt is for ~£8000, there is a PPI attached to the debt, and I had a letter from Original Creditor stating they would remove the PPI as they had not given me the terms and conditions when the loan was taken out. But when I contacted Original Creditor about this they point blank refused and I put the debt in formal dispute.

 

Last payment on account was December 1st 2008.

Agreed to refund PPI and then refused to do so?

Nothing more from the OC since the dispute was raised?

I didnt know about the PPI really as it was tackled on without me realising,

and being stupid enough not to read through the documents properly.

 

 

when I got a letter from them saying our internal routines shows that you might not have had

the PPI terms and conditions through we're offering you to cancel it.

 

 

when I asked the local branch to do just that,

they point blank refused no matter how much i waved the letter.

 

 

I disputed it and refused to pay the debt going forward. This was roughly in December 2008.

 

I had a default letter through years ago, but no real attempts to contact me

no phone calls, no letters.

 

 

I had a letter from a DCA asking for £25k a few years ago which they had calculated based on 30+% interest or something, I just ignored that one.

 

I've also held a savings account with more money than the debt with HSBC which owns the OC (HFC) as I didn't know they could offset.

 

 

My current account, ISA, Credit cards and regular saving account is all with HSBC (First Direct) so It's not like I've tried to hide.

 

I believe in paying back what I owe, but I think I have a genuine dispute here.

I don't think I did. I certainly can't remember seeing one. I did move around a lot back then, but I kept HSBC up to date with my address. I don't know how well they share information between each branch of the bank though.

I suggest, politely, you fo back to post one and re-read your thread.

 

 

everytime you get a threat-o-gram

you panic...don't.

 

 

you need to p'haps address your PPI paperwork and get that checked here ready to send it all.

 

 

no dca offers a 70% discount when they could goto court for 100%

 

 

think about it!
