    • Will get them done asap My job changes week to week so at the time I didn’t know. 
    • You will probably get a couple more reminders followed by further demands fro unregulated debt collectors with even increasing amounts to pay. They are all designed to scare you into paying.  Don't. It's a scam site and they do not know who was driving and they know the keeper is not liable to pay the PCN. Also the shop was closed so they have no legitimate interest in keeping the car park clear. So to charge £100 is a penalty as there is no legitimate interest which means that the case would be thrown out if it went to Court.  Keep your money in your wallet and be prepared to ignore all their letters and threats. Doubtful they would go to Court since a lot more people would not pay when they heard  MET lost in Court. However they may just send you a Letter of Claim to test your resolve.  If yoy get one of those, come back to us and we will advise a snotty letter to send them.  You probably already have, but take a look through some of our past Met PCNs to see how they are doing.
    • Hello, been a while since I posted on here, really hoping for the same support an advice I received last time :-) Long, long story for us, but basically through bad choices, bad luck and bad advice ended up in an IVA in 2016. The accounts involved all defaulted, to be expected. In 2018, I got contacted by an 'independent advisor' advising me that I shouldn't be in an IVA, that it wasn't the solution for our circumstances and that they would guide us through the process of leaving the IVA and finding a better solution. I feel very stupid for taking this persons advice, and feel they prey on vulnerable people for their own financial gain (it ended with us paying our IVA monthly contribution to them)-long and short of it our IVA failed in 2018. At the same time the IVA failed we also had our shared ownership property voluntarily repossessed (to say this was an incredibly stressful time would be an understatement!) When we moved to our new (rented) property in August 2018, I was aware that creditors would start contacting us from the IVA failure. I got advice from another help website and started sending off SARs and CCAs request letters. I was advised not to bury my head and update our address etc and tackle each company as they came along. Initially there was quite a lot of correspondence, and I still get a daily missed call from PRA group (and the occasional letter from them), but not much else. However, yesterday i had a letter through from Lowell (and one from Capital One) advising that they had bought my debt and would like to speak with me regarding the account. There will be several.of these through our door i suspect, as we did have several accounts with Capital One. Capital One have written to us with regular statements over the last 5 years, and my last communication with them was to advise of of our new address (June 2019), I also note that all of these accounts received a small payment in Jan2019 (i'm assuming the funds from the failed IVA pot). Really sorry for the long long post, but just thought id give (some of) the background for context.... I guess my question at the moment is.....how do I respond to Lowell...do I wait for the inevitable other letters to arrive then deal with them all together or individually...? Do I send them a CCA?  Many thanks

    • 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.

Hi

 

just to let folk know this is something you may receive when you send the one liner

" I do not acknowledge any debt to you or you client "

 

Your letter is nothing more than a pro forma e-mail you have copied from the internet and has no relevence to our clients claim.

 

The e-mail is produced to waste time and costs, in breach of the protocol for pre-action conduct and the civil procedure rules 1998.

 

The matter will be put on hold for a further 21 days.

 

If we do not hear from you the matter will proceed accordingly.

 

Ultimately, if the claim has to be issued, your correspondence will be placed before the court together with details of the source of the pro forma letter.

 

I do believe that sites like this exist to help and stop the vultures getting fatter, but do not wish anyone to break the law.

Interesting - and, of course, utterly misleading and clearly intended to deceive.

 

No-one is under any obligation to even respond to RLP's demands. If they choose to respond, how they do so is entirely a matter for them, as is where they choose to seek advice. Where no court claim has been issued (such as in 99.9999% of RLP cases), the question of costs doesn't arise. How RLP choose to spend their money pursuing their unsavoury business tactics is up to them.

 

More flaccid willy-waving from RLP's inadequate bullies.

Scarlet

thats all that was in the letter,

at the moment I would like to keep a low profile but when time as passed I would certainly post all letters so others can see what goes on. I am aware that these people read these sites with interest.

 

I am suprised that no one as posted all the letters that they had received

so people are aware what these companies get up to.

 

Reading through the lines that I posted is any of it correct or just bull ?

 

 

I am not a prolific thief, I am not known to the police and at my time of life I do not wish to become a criminal. Alleged crime was less than £20. Police arrived no action taken. Would it be advisable to seek legal help ?

 

How long have these people been known to persist with there letters, a couple of months or more and who if anyone regulates these people since they have been operating.

 

Did I read somewhere that a shop as got up to 6 years to bring a case to court ?

What is the correct procedure of civil recovery and what can be claimed in a civil procedure. I have read the Oxford case.

 

Because of my low posting score I am unable to post a link regarding a watchdog report regarding civil recovery from I think 2011 in the report it said on the 12th April the law commission published a consultation paper entitled " Reforming consumer redres for misleading and aggresive practices " As the law changed in anyway regarding this ?

 

Thanx Paws.

Dear Sirs

 

Any liability to your clients or their clients is denied.

 

For the avoidance of doubt, no legitimate debt exists in this matter, merely a speculative invoice. It seems to me that demanding money where no debt is owed is a serious breach of your obligations under the terms of your consumer credit licence.

 

No further correspondence will be entered into.

 

Yours etc.

 

 

 

As anyone ever had a reply to the above letter when sent to a debt collection agency. If so what did it say.

JB Debt Recovery, who used to do this for RLP, invariably wrote back to say that hey had taken RLP's instructions in good faith, and had closed their file. Snotcall will undoubtedly do the same, because they know that they are breaching the terms of their licence.

  • 2 weeks later...

I sent the one liner to RLP

 

I deny any liability to you or your clients. I will not enter into any further correspondence with your company

 

and got this reply.

 

Your letter is nothing other than a pro-forma e-mail you have copied from the internet and has no relevance to our client’s claim.

 

The e-mail is produced to waste time and costs, in breach of the Protocol for Pre-action Conduct and the Civil Procedure Rules 1998 (“CPR”).

 

We urge you again to seek some legal advice from a reliable and appropriate source if you do not understand the claim.

 

Our previous correspondence and accompanying documentation has notified you in a reasonable, proportionate, informative and lawful manner, of the nature and basis of our client’s claim, and the losses sought, in compliance with CPR.

 

We will put this matter on hold for a further 21 days to enable you to seek some proper advice and respond appropriately.

 

If we do not hear from you the matter will proceed accordingly. Ultimately, if the claim has to be issued, your correspondence will be placed before the Court, together with the details of the source of the pro forma letter.

 

Yours sincerely

Theyll just send more and more silly nonsense. Some people have had letters from them that run to 3-4 pages. They exist purely on conning people to pay them. Thats why they resort to more and more desperate means to get the money.

It takes them a while to get fed up because they want to deprive you of your hard-earned cash. There's usually a trail of ever more desperate scare tactics and posturing.

 

They like phrases like 'proceed accordingly' because it sounds scary, but could mean all sorts of things.

If all there letters are untrue, why or how are they allowed to get away with it. Can they be reported to some one. They certainly make it all sound legal.

 

 

 

One of the reasons that RLP (and other civil recovery firms) get away with what they do is because there isn't an industry regulator.

 

The Law Commission, in a report, said that the civil recovery industry used 'aggressive and misleading' tactics, and that the legal basis for their claims was dubious. You would think that the Law Society would have had something to say about any lawyer employed by a civil recovery company, but they appear to have remained silent. This may be because they will usually only act or entertain a complaint about a lawyer if it comes from a client, or where the lawyer breaches their rules in specific ways. When a lawyer is an employee rather than in a legal practice it seems even more difficult. It should be noted, though, that letters from legal firms indulging in civil recovery are unlike those of RLP.

 

The writing and sending of pompous, pseudo-legal, circumloquacious letters is not illegal.

 

There are offences of harassment and sending malicious communications, but I am not aware of anyone seeking to bring RLP to account under any of the relevant legislation.

 

"They make it all sound legal" - Yes, they do, and that is what, in my view, the Law Commission suggest is misleading; the methodology and prolonged bullying nature of the letter campaigns is what I think is aggressive. RLP's activity is designed to lend legitimacy to speculative invoices. That is why I think RLP are so keen to try to stifle criticism of their methods (vide their spectacular but utterly impotent 'Streisand Effect' campaign waged by Schillings), and why they have resorted, laughably, to claiming that CAG is under criminal investigation, for example.

 

The key point is to realise that RLP's literary outpourings, whilst illustrative of the inadequate, bullying personalities behind them, don't actually contain anything that makes any real sense.

So why don,t retailers use correct legal firms instead of the likes of RLP and what can actualy be claimed regarding civil recovery if the goods have been returned in a re-saleable condition. Surely after the Oxford case it would be impossible to claim anything.

The retailer doesnt know any different. I would bet anything that the retailers that RLP are "working with", don't know anything about what RLP are doing to the person they send letters to.

Perhaps it would be interesting if someone wrote to the retailers providing them with copies of the letters that RLP send out. Looking at RLP, s website, in a way I suppose a retailer would be sort of impressed by its contents. But RLP are never going to tell the truth are they.
