    • What type of finance is it?   HP, PCP, Loan? They want her to ring so they can bully her into making payments she can't afford...unless she can record her calls then IMHO, I'd keep everything in writing. Is £400 SSP her only income? There's no chance they will justify taking half of that.   Lodge a formal complaint with them ASAP, exhaust it, and then you can escalate it sooner rather than later, ruddy sharks!  
    • Is all of this actually on the signage? Don't remember seeing that much detail on other threads.
    • If I have learnt one thing from this forum, it's not to call and communicate via email. I passed this info on to her and they are pushing for her to call them.    "Unfortunately, you will need to call us. The conversation won’t be so black and white as to therefore type over email. In a nutshell we can confirm that the request to not pay for 3 months we cannot put in place"  I emailed them back on her behalf and said that what ever is discussed over the phone will need to be put in an email so that she can review it properly. No decisions will be made on that phone call.    "Once we speak to you on the phone we will follow up with an email to confirm the options discussed. [Phone number]"   Why are they pushing for a phone call? If its not so black and white, why can they then follow up with an email?  
    • Appreciate input Andy, updated: IN THE ******** County Court Claim No. [***] BETWEEN: LC Asset 2 S.A.R.L CLAIMANT AND [***] DEFENDANT ************ _________________________ ________ WITNESS STATEMENT OF [***] _________________________ ________ I, [***], being the Defendant in this case will state as follows;     I make this Witness Statement in support of my defence in this claim.   1. I understand that the claimant is an Assignee, a buyer of defunct or bad debts, which are bought on mass portfolios at a much-reduced cost to the amount claimed and which the original creditors have already written off as a capital loss and claimed against taxable income as confirmed in the claimant’s witness statement exhibit by way of the Deed of Assignment. As an assignee or creditor as defined in section 189 of the CCA this applies to this new requirement on assignment of rights. This means that when an assignee purchases debts (or otherwise acquires rights under a credit agreement) it also acquires certain obligations to the borrower including the duty to comply with CCA requirements (such as the rules on statements and notices and other post-contractual information). The assignee becomes the creditor under the agreement. This ensures that essential consumer protections under the CCA cannot be circumvented by assigning the debt to a third party. 2. The Claim relates to an alleged Credit Card agreement between the Defendant and Bank of Scotland plc. Save insofar of any admittance it is accepted that the Defendant has had contractual agreements with Bank of Scotland plc in the past, the Defendant is unaware as to what alleged debt the Claimant refers. The Defendant has not entered any contract with the Claimant. 3. The Defendant requested a copy of the CCA on the 24/12/2022 along with the standard fee of £1.00 postal order, to which the defendant received a reply from the Claimant dated 06/02/2023. To this date, the Claimant has failed to disclose a valid agreement and proof as per their claim that this is enforceable, that Default Notice and Notice of Assignment were sent to and received by the Defendant, on which their claim relies. The Claimant is put to strict proof to verify and confirm that the exhibit *** is a true copy of the agreement and are the true Terms and Conditions as issued at the time of inception of the online application and execution of the agreement. 4. Point 3 is noted. The Claimant pleads that a default notice has been served upon the defendant as evidenced by Exhibit [***]. The claimant is put to strict proof to verify the service of the above in accordance with s136 and s196 Law of Property Act 1925. 5. Point 6 is noted and disputed. The Defendant cannot recall ever having received the notice of assignment as evidenced in the exhibit marked ***. The claimant is put to strict proof to verify the service of the above in accordance with s136 and s196 Law of Property Act 1925. 6. Point 11 is noted and disputed. See 3. 7. Point 12 is noted, the Defendant doesn’t recall receiving contact where documentation is provided as per the Claimants obligations under CCA. In addition, the Claimant pleads letters were sent on dates given, yet those are not the letters evidenced in their exhibits *** 8. Point 13 is noted and denied. Claimant is put to strict proof to prove allegations. 9. The Claimant did not provide a true copy of the CCA in response to the Defendants request of 21/12/2022. The Claimant further claims that the documents are sufficient to pursue a Judgement and are therefore copies of original documents in their possession. Conclusion 10. Without the Claimant providing a valid true copy of the executed Credit agreement that complies with the CCA, the Claimant has no grounds on which to enforce this alleged debt. 11. The Claimant has been unjustly enriched at the expense of the Defendant by purchasing bulk debt at a greatly reduced cost and subrogating for the original creditor in trying to recuperate the full amount of the original debt 12. The Defendant was not given ample evidence to prove the debt and therefore was not required to enter settlement negotiations. Should the debt be proved in the future, the Defendant is willing to enter such negotiations with the Claimant. On receipt of this claim I could not recall the precise details of the agreement or any debt and sought clarity from the claimant by way of a Section 78 request. The Claimant failed to comply. I can only assume as this was due to the Claimant not having any enforceable documentation and issuing a claim in hope of an undefended default judgment.   Statement of Truth I, ********, the Defendant, believe the facts stated within this Witness Statement to be true. I understand that proceedings for contempt of court may be brought against anyone who makes, or causes to be made, a false statement in a document verified by a statement of truth without an honest belief in it’s truth. Signed: _________________________ _______ Dated: _____________________
    • Morning,  I am hoping someone can help, I am posting on behalf of my friend so I will try and provide as much info as possible.  Due health reasons, she is currently not working and unable to pay her contractual car finance payments. She emailed 247 Money and asked for a 3 month payment holiday, they refused this straight away with no reasons as to why. They have told her that instead she can make a payment of £200. She is currently getting £400+ a month ssp so this is not acceptable. She went back to them and explained she cannot make this payment and they have not offered an alternative plan. Its £200 or she falls into default.  She is now panicking as she does not want her car to be taken away. What options does she have?  Thank 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.

Please bare with me on this as its a little long winded.

 

As Marstons are now involved I thought it best it should be in here, if not then I am happy for it to be moved.

 

Last year before my son moved he had 2 PCN's issued, how ever this was through no fault of his own. He lived in a residential permit area and the council had not issued him with the permit which he applied for in plenty of time. As the one he was using at the time was close to running out he called the perking services and told them that he still hadnt received his permit, he was told by the parking people that he should place a note on his car explaining this until they sent out another. So this is what he did, still no permit arrived and he called again and was told to do the same thing.

 

Well unfortunately he had two PCNs, which he did not see as he was in the middle of moving at the time and PCNs dont stay on cars for very long in that area due to stupi idiots taking them off and placing them on their own cars to stop them getting any PCNs for parking where they shouldnt.

 

Anyway because my son had moved he didnt receive the NTOs to both PCNs, we only found out when a bailiff visited the present occupiers to his old address where the NTOs went to, they unfortunately didnt open the letters and just sent them back, however she got a visit from said bailiff from Marstons, Have to say at this point, bailiff was extremely rude to the lady now living there and scared the life out of her. Even though she showed her CT benefit forms which also proved she was there with just her and her baby, he threatened to return if he hadnt heard anything with regards to the my son not being there. How he was going to do this is beyond me.

 

It was only by chance that I found out about the bailiff visit, so I contacted PS and marstons to find out what the problem was.

 

I explained the situation to the parking people and they remembered my son calling and told me the that the bailiffs have been placed on hold, they admitted it was their fault, however I needed to fill in 2 sets of TE7 & TE9, which I emailed to the TEC, After many many weeks I called the PS again as I had not heard anything, neither had they, so I contacted the TEC via email and a few days later received a letter to say one had been excepted but they had lost part of the other and I needed to re issue it, which i did.

 

I called the parking people and asked if they had received any correspondence from the TEC and they hadnt, but said to make a representation and that they would cancel that PCN. I havnt heard anything from them since then, in fact I havnt heard anything from the TEC either and that was weeks ago in fact at least 8 weeks.

They have received the forms via email as I had a conformation email stating that they have them, but I have heard nothing.

 

Today my son gets a letter from Marstons stating that they are going to turn up in a few days time. As far as I am concerned the bailiffs were placed on hold until the TEC had return their verdict, so to speak, which I was fully confident would be the same result as both were identically written.

But as I have said I have heard nothing from them.

 

My son is disabled and on benefits and at the moment he is quite poorly, hence why I am dealing with this.

 

Ive written to both the parking people and Marstons explaining this situation and placed a formal complaint with the councils parking people stating that this is not good enough, the time span on this is ridiculous and there has been so many cock ups on their part.

 

I need to stop Marstons from going to my sons house, because this would put him back healthwise and he isnt a very patient person at the moment and I would hate to think what he would do if Marstons did turn up at this stage. Especially when this isnt really his fault in the first place.

 

Is it worth emailing the TEC and asking what they are doing and why they havnt been in touch as it seems from the bailiffs paperwork its the TEC who have involved the bailiffs.

 

As its Saturday I cant phone anyone as no one is open. Looks like I will be making a few calls on Monday to get this sorted ... AGAIN :mad2:

 

I feel I cant do anymore, but has anyone got anymore suggestions.. Cheers guys :thumb:

the fault lies with the parking services, so if it is a council dept, get the local member on the case after all that is what we elect and pay them for, also send a complaint to the CEO a Formal complaint, BTW get proof of vulnerability to Marstons, and maybe email their CEO mentioning that the TEC are involved and his EA is supposed to be on hold also mention disability etc BF and oldbill definitely will have his email. You never know it might keep them at bay

Cheers for that I will do..

Just done a bit of digging to see what PCN they are still chasing for and it looks like the one that they lost a part of, Ive also just noticed after sending an email to the TEC is that they have changed their email address. It dosnt say from when though, would anyone know?

 

I resent the TE7 and TE9 on the 31st of May, but I received a conformation that they had received it not that the email had changed other wise I would of sent it to the new email. I have a funny feeling that this is what has happened. I bloody hope not Grrrrrr!

Typical Quangoistic move change email, and tell no one. If these TEC changes have led to EA's and councils ignoring OOT, perhaps the MP should get a letter

I would start involving the local Councillor(s) over this, as far as I am concerned they can be contacted 7 days per week up until 9pm or thereabouts. If they don't like it then they should not have stood for office. Done now or tomorrow allows them to march into the Council first thing Monday demanding answers and getting it sorted.

There is a problem with that Plodders, which councillor should I approach?

 

The PCNs are dealt with a different council from where I live. The parking, albeit are council run cover the whole of essex, its divided into two parts, north and south. I dont know who deals with the south, but its Colchester that deals with the north. Im not under Colchester council though, so I wouldnt know which councillor to use.

Google says the South Essex parking partnership is run from Chelmsford, and their webpage says that Chelmsford City Council deals with all correspondence.

Just a little update, bailiffs have been put on hold for now.

 

I called both Parking services and TEC, have resent the TE7 & TE9 forms as they had not received them.

As for the parking people, all I can say at the moment is that Im very frustrated with them and a formal complaint has gone in, I have much to say about their goings on with regards to this but am awaiting some more info.

Im too exhausted at the moment to go on , but will update in due course :)

A little update, and to say I am fuming would be an understatement........:-x

 

I received an email from the TEC a little while ago stating that the PCN has NOT been passed to them from Parking Partnership Colchester.

I have checked, double and triple checked that this is the correct PCN number and it is.

 

Now if that is the case then why have bailiffs been informed......... I was led to believe that it has to be passed to the TEC before any bailiff intervention can be applied.

 

This is the email I have received this afternoon;

Good afternoon,

We have been unable to process your form(s) and your correspondence is therefore returned herewith.

Please see below for applicable reason(s):

 

The penalty charge number (PCN) you have quoted has not been registered at the TEC. Please contact the Local Authority concerned regarding the penalty charge.

Just a thought here, Ive just spoken to my son and he has read out the letter he had received from Marstons and it clearly says that it was Northampton County Court that had instructed Marstons to enforce this PCN, but if Northampton County Court have not had the PCN registered with them, then how can Marstons send out this letter stating that they have been instructed by Northampton County Court.

 

Parking partnership seems as useful as a chocolate fireguard and dont know who has said what etc

 

Im not going to point fingers at anyone at the moment, but someone has not been entirely truthful about this whole stupid affair. But as always the innocent are blamed and have to pay the price.

Just as I thought I was getting somewhere.

This is becoming a complete nightmare.

 

I was told this morning by PS that IT WAS registered in September last year. So phoned the TEC and they have basically said that I have made a mistake on the PCN number.. I havnt, so have been told to email them and tell them that I have not made a mistake. Ive checked.

 

So now I have to wait until after 4 to see if they are going to look into this. :frusty:

 

More incompetence .. cany anyone get it right just for once!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Can you scan the pcn and attach it to your email to TEC, so that they can see you haven't made a mistake, but someone else has?

We dont have the PCN, they were never seen, hence why we had no idea until the bailiffs were sent.

 

So where are you getting the pcn number from? I'd send whatever it is you have (with the number on) to the TEC, so that you can prove that if anyone has made a mistake, it's not you ;)

I give up, if i dont have a stroke or heart attack over this I will be very surprised.

 

It looks like no one reads emails at the TEC.

I have just had to send, for the 3rd time today copies of the TE7 & TE9. I have double triple and checked these forms more times over the past three days than I have taken breaths. There is nothing wrong with the forms, they are identical to the other forms that have been accepted.

 

All I am getting back now is, 'here are the forms you requested' I DIDNT REQUEST ANY FORMS!!!!

 

Is there anyone I can get some attention from with regards to these Cock ups by the TEC. They have decided not to give me any info now as they have no record of the authorisation that was sent.

 

Has the heat got to peoples brains??
