    • 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 posted my advice as to the law and regulation,

and court action is timed out now anyway as the

DWP has not previously bothered to take any action.

I certainly do not condone any such, but it is not

for me to judge how the OP uses the advice given.

Your not wrong in what you've said Brig, the limitations act would normally apply unless it has been deemed as fraud, then it would become a criminal matter and the limitations act would not apply.

Hope that clears it up.

Having just dealt with a similar where

court action in a magistrates court was

underway, the defendant admitted that

fraud had taken place in the recent past,

however the government department concerned

said that similar charges that had laid on file for

6 years plus were out of time and were dropped.

I have been dealing with exactly the same situation on behalf of my (now) wife

 

about 5-6 yrs ago she received (in her maiden name) a demand from Iqor, to this I sent a simple "prove it" letter, then she received another informing her that the amount was still outstanding and that she had ignored their "numerous" letters - they had sent her 1. Another more strongly worded "prove it" letter was sent.

 

Then she got a demand from DWP, so another "prove it" letter was sent to them, then Encasso, a firm of "solicitors" contacted her, a rebuttal was sent to them.

 

Since then, there have been various other companies, claiming that they will take her to court and bring the world crashing down around her ears - all of them in her maiden name. she even received a letter thanking her for making a £5 payment, which she didn't make, but they would hope will restart the SB clock

 

They know nothing, they are nothing and they should be paid ....erm nothing :)

 

They haven't got the sense to see that providing someone with simple proof of their liability would be far more effective than sending countless empty demands. They really are at the bottom of the food chain, picking up the scraps in the hope of scaring the innocent and unaware.

Hi, Hope someone can help me.

 

I have received a letter from dwp informing me that they have contacted my employers requesting that they deduct payments from my salary

relating to a debt that I have no knowledge of ammounting to nearly £4000.

 

I rang the dwp today and they say the debt relates to overpayments of benefits in 1996.

 

 

I explained that I have no knowledge of such debt and that they need to provide proof of the debt

or some sort of acknowledgement from me of owing this debt.

 

 

they told me I had spoken to them in 2011 and had refused to recieve proof, which is ludicrous.

 

why would I refuse ?.

 

 

I told them that I emailed the relevent dept asking for proof and had recieved nothing.

They said that they dont have an email system of which to appeal.

 

Is there anything I can do to stop them taking money from my wages until they can prove I owe it?

 

My employers say that they have to abide by their request and that the dwp do not need a judgement from a civil court to instigate the attachment.

 

 

This has got to be wrong.

 

 

PLEASE HELP!!

Hi Ive just recieved a letter from works and pensions dept chasing me for a debt of £3900.00 apparently owed by me from 1995 for overpayments of income support and a couple of social loans i vaguely remember.They also stated 2001 for sickness benefit i also know nothing about. I qouted the 6 year rule and they said it did not apply to them and if it wasn,t paid they would contact a collection agency to persue it.I said "take me to court and prove i owe it". I did visit there office years ago and admitted i had not informed them i had started work 3-4 months previous and they said i,d have to pay it back,but it was nowhere near £3900.00.Since then ive not been out of work even in 2001 when they say i was overpaid sickness benefit.They have been very vague with their information and have said they will send me their files. If i do owe them money ,what powers do they have for recovery?? What shall i do next?? P.S i have posted this on new posts but new to site so dont know if ive posted correctly sorry.

hi again, thanks forvyour comments,

All I am trying to establish is for them to prove I owe them money and how much.

As I explained I heard nothijg from them for 15 years to 2011 and then nothihg again since then ujtil now.theyvsay they havevsent me letters but I have not moved so where did the letters go to, certainly not to me.Surely they cannot start deductions from my employer without proof of the ammount which they do not seem to have.Also they have deprived me of the right to appeal by not contacting me.Why did they leave it for nearly 20 years in total. Where do I go from here if they dont send me proof of the debt.?.Any help would be gratefully recieved.

There is as said no time limit on these Government debts.

You really do need to make a formal complaint to them, start the process and escalate it up to tribunal level.

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!
