    • 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.

So Erudio might try collecting on them. Will have to watch out for any of those shenanigans by erudio, and keep the write off letter from Thesis safe.

Is there any way a written off Student loan can be revived or collection re-attempted?

 

Thesis had my loans, but there was one I cannot track, my loans all my pre 1998 were written off this year, by Thesis and Stink Financial but it seems Escrudio are looking to revive the last one from 1997 which Thesis say they never had. I have a confirmation of write off of all loans held by Thesis/Stink, as I am past the time/age threshold for write off.

Thanks DX, as the last one never surfaced, as it wasn't activated for payment being last in the queue. My feeling is Escrudio will claim it is payable as it was still in the queue when the others were written off. I will see them in court if they are silly, as a write off is just that, and all loans held have to be written off when time bars and ages are attained.

Erudio were never Thesis or Arrow.

 

In fact all the loans that went to Erudio were ones that SLC themselves had kept until end of 2013. None of them had previously been sold.

 

Think dx100uk is thinking of Honours Student loans that have some of the same people and companies via the Wilmington trust involved as Erudio do. Even then, Erudio only has SLC loans that were never sold to anyone else before SLC got rid of them.

 

Age write off is conditional on you not being behind in payments on the loan. If you are, including unpaid arrears if you failed to defer at any point in the past, then it can be legitimately refused.

No in my case no arrears, deferrals done when income below threshold and write off confirmed by Thesis.

Yes, unless you were 40 or over when you took out your final loan. Then it would be age 60 instead.

 

12. The lender will cancel the borrower’s liability to repay the loan if the borrower—

 

(a)dies,

 

(b)is not behind on any repayments under any agreement for a student loan and—

 

(i) was under the age of 40 when his last agreement for a student loan was made and he reaches the age of 50[/u] or when the last agreement for a student loan has been outstanding for not less than 25 years, whichever is the sooner, or

 

(ii) was aged 40 or older when his last agreement for a student loan was made and he reaches the age of 60, or

 

©if the borrower can show the lender that he gets a disability related benefit and because of his disability is permanently unfit for work.

Regs are the last set from those old style loans. http://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/1998/211/made Previous ones were repealed and those set as a replacement to apply to all the old loans. They still stand and are in force.

 

Consolidating them for admin purposes does not actually change the fact that they are still legally separate loans. Nor would it matter if it did, as it would not change the fact of when your last loan was made. That is a fact at that point in time, and cannot change.

 

BIS have stated to someone else in writing that the "was made" date is when the first instalment of your last loan was paid to you. https://www.dropbox.com/s/g4hy0besp1jh12o/BIS%20Response%20Loan%20Cancellation%20200115.rtf?dl=0
