    • Hi everyone, Thanks for the responses. Just a few follow up questions in light of what's been said:   If I dont appeal to PPM, who can I appeal to?   Why should the PCN been attached to the windscreen? Is this written in law?   I assumed the document I had received was the NTK, if this is not the case, what does a NTK look like?   Regarding the compliance with the Protection of Freedoms Act, could the "period" of parking not be argued either way? The legislation doesnt state it must have a start/end time of parking, which I assumed an ANPR camera would pick up if it had one. Is 4 minutes not technically enough to show the vehicle was parked?    Thanks !

    • 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.

Unable to effectively argue your case? Well you're making a pretty good stab at it now.

 

Arrow as part of their data analytics sift all their dear customers into can't pay, won't pay or won't say. The last category is the most dangerous as it means that, as we're unsure and they've gone to ground, why not see if a court claim will motivate them, followed by a default judgment if it doesn't. If you receive and defend a court claim chances are,

as I've said earlier, that they will not succeed. The very worst would be a CCJ to be paid off at a peppercorn monthly token fee.

 

Do not be afraid of advocacy. They are there to *help*. Most services include staff trained to understand and work around a wide range of mental health conditions. Including the fact that some days you are barely functioning at all.

 

Your local CAB, Mind, mental health service and council can all tell you where to find them or even perhaps make the referral for you. Moreover, if you're not well enough to go to them, they can usually come to you. Why not take advantage?

 

Now you've shown us how much effort you can put into not existing, why not apply some of that positive energy and intellect into proving that you can and will take Arrow and their midgets on?

dx100uk - Thank you very much. OK ,

 

I am on the brink of registering with noodle - but, one last question / observation,

these companies have so far had no acknowledgement from me that they have got to me ,

 

I have not confirmed the address or acknowledged their interest, and so far, they have given up,

and eventually another company has started the fishing letters to old and current address and then with the threatening letters

- then they stop, and so it goes.

 

IF they succeeded in court , could they get some of my pension ?

 

I currently have benefit minus deduction and owe DWP.

I could just continue to ignore till I die as I see no other way out ?

 

Unless , as you suggest, they could REALLY be seen off by letter ?

That seems a too good to be true possibility.

 

I should say that I now have NO credit, NEVER will have , and never sought to deceive or steal.

But I didn't see the illness either.

 

Thanks again I won't bother you all any more after this ,

THANK YOU very much, best regards.

 

oleg, thank you very much, but one day in a hundred only achieved with juggling a long list of medication is how it goes. But thank you, at least I can print all this off and hold on to it, and maybe give to advocacy service ( ? )

Thank you.

SabreSheep ,

 

You should read my responses again. I have acknowledged each respondent, and gratefully .

For the avoidance of doubt in light of you not noticing, I'm very grateful for all the advice and guidance, and I hope , permitted to clarify that which I may have concerns over.

Best Regards.

Sabre didn't mean you hadn't thanked ppl for their time, he's not that kind of person: he was, rather, expressing concern that he felt you were not following the advice.

 

In that respect let me add if I may a word. You don't have time to be "on the brink" of registering with noddle. Nor is it to be approached like a walk on a tightrope over a river. I urge you to do it today.

 

And pls don't imagine I know nothing about your illness. In fact I do, but it's irrelevant here. All I need mention is that it's important to act whilst you're in charge.

 

Preferably to contact the advocacy service too. With most, you'd not be given an immediate appointment as there would be a waiting list, so the sooner you act, the better. And yes, you could show them this thread. Far more use than trying to explain from scratch. Besides, they may not be all that au fait as we are with debt matters, especially the Arrow beast.

 

No you can't write a letter asking them please will you let me off paying. But if they cannot produce a compliant, executed CCA, there are simple mechanisms to enable you to defend in a way to prevent court action from proceeding. And if you've reached the statute bar, they can do nothing.

 

Do not worry about losing your pension. That is not going to happen.

 

Yes, Arrow will have outsourced [their horrid word not mine] to a couple of their concubines but eventually they pass to a solicitor to take action. And believe me, some of those solicitors are nasty. However, we know how to take the venom out of their bite. But we do need your cooperation. Taking 2 to tango, and all that.

 

Good luck

Oleg,

thank you very much for your advice. I greatly appreciate it, as I do that of Sabre Sheep and dx100uk .

Best Regards, HB

 

Edit - cancel that . I am looking at their "privacy" policy and it looks like the answer is "yes" , which is worrying.

Last question, will noddle share my application data with anyone ? Thank you.

Edit - cancel that .

 

I have a record of an Email in 2010 from them advise closure as a bad debt

- and a response from me offering them the opportunity to negotiate

- this was to an address which the email small print said,

 

 

don't send, however, the address did commence "customerservice@" so I believe any court will believe that attempt to have

communicate to have been reasonable. They ignored that offer and then sold to AGG .

 

Would it help to post the detail ( edited of account details etc ? ) here ?

 

 

I believe this would have been accompanied at the time by erratic but detailed written offers to negotiate from me.

 

My defence against any action against me now would be that original lender refused to negotiate disputed account

or take account of medical condition, and knowing this , sold account to AGG.

 

As I have said, I believe I destroyed paper records in a period of extreme ill health 2 years ago.

 

Advocacy Services - whoa ! just looking into , Thank You ALL for bringing to my attention. Hope I last long enough to pursue .

 

The email to which I refer above sent in 2010 may clearly be viewed as acknowledging debt, but also disputing the amount and seeking to negotiaite.

 

IF that was my last acknowledgment, then is that when the statute barred clock starts from ( if , as I believe, I have only disputed / denied / ignored DCA communications since) ?

 

I have remembered , but cannot find, a photocopy of a CCA dated 1995 being received. Difficult to read as I recall.

 

I remember asking multiple questions in attempt to understand alleged balance, and not getting satisfactory response ( to me, anyway, accepting my mental processes may have been manic - which is not to say they were wrong ! )

 

If CCJ and Enforcement made against me does anyone know what likely to be ordered if total income (excluding pension fund )

 

is ESA Support and lower rate DLA less deductions due to overpayment ( not understood !) reclaim by DWP ?

 

ie what's the minimum / maximum the CCJ would order from an monthly income of £550

 

- particularly when DWP debt still outstanding ?

 

I think if I become homeless / no fixed abode, any benefits would stop ?

Bundles of debt are sold as spreadsheet list containing only most basic statistics. Will show last payment and date of default notice but usually no communications log so Arrow are unlikely to know about your 2010 emails. Thus you can calculate likely S B as six years plus one month from last payment. That's assuming you've made no written contact with Arrow or their agents.

 

It is quite possible that you will end up with a CCJ if you continue to play ostrich - one which will not consider your circumstances since the court will not have been made aware of them.

 

If you do as we ask, the worst possible outcome would be a CCJ with a £1/month payment, but the more likely outcome no CCJ at all. Due to either S B or failure of Arrow to fully prove to the judge a debt [eg non-compliant/non-existant CCA].

 

We keep telling you that you will not lose your pension or mansion if you follow our advice. But still you keep asking.

 

Thousands of ppl we helped and who are trying to keep a low profile have checked their CRA file without being sent to the Tower of London as a result. If you are still petrified, we can work around it but only by making guesses. That, obviously, isn't ideal. But do let us know, one way or the other.

 

Best wishes

Oleg

Hello ,I did the Noddle thing.

I am nervous of posting detail here ,

Original Alleged Creditor recorded default ,

account later noted as "satisfied" ,

but then shows with Arrow as defaulted.

no searches at current address for 2 years.

Don't know if best lodge complaint against MBNA for failing to accept my DISPUTE

then defaulting, selling Arrow a dud as far as I'm concerned, resulting in harassment already referred to in detail.

To be honest, difficult to concentrate and failing but want to fight and actually now want counter action for punitive damages.

Plus - discovered that current account overdraft listed as behind with payment but new payment agreed ? ? ? Can't remember a thing. but nothing done since 2011.. ?

No action from them yet other than they sent a new card to old address last year - not activated the card needless to say ? inclined leave sleeping dogs lie as similarly I fought for explanations and details .

Also , for information Basic Bank Account Details DO APPEAR on credit report

( despite not a credit facility )

Hi dx100uk, thank you.

You mean don't take any action against MBNA / ARROW or the Bank ?

Keep returning any correspondence from DCA , none of whom have searched this address in 2 years but MANY have written the usual threatening letters.

My original concern as you will see above was that a County Court Action might appear out of the blue.

I would not bother returning letters

that has no purpose.

 

as long as they are writing to the address where you are

then any speculative claimform would come there too.

dx100uk - thank you , but shouldn't i do something to try and stop it ?

 

DCA has no contract with me,

no right to process or hold personal data ,

 

Arrow were referred back to Original Creditor in 2012,

 

even Fin Omb Serv have suggested raising complaint against MBNA & ask Arrow to cease action. Confused.

stop what?..nothing is happening.

you've buffed them off till now.

cant see any need to change you actions.

bar simply not bothering to return letters.

thers no real point in that

it as you've seen by the noddle info

achieves nothing

they know where you are

no point in denying it.

not sure this bit:

DCA has no contract with me,

no right to process or hold personal data ,

me thinks you've been reading to many Freedom of the Land Site rubbish.

the debt has been sold

the debt buyer hold and has ALL the rights of the Original Creditor.

Thanks again.

Don't know about Freedom Land but have been looking at I.C.O regarding processing personal data, which is part of my concern ie; the harassment.

I will just do as you suggest and wait for action to be taken against me, then panic.

Thank you for your help.

Eight Months on ..

..Update ...

 

. Disputed a/c on Noddle, this has caused Arrow Global Guernsey to suppress the record on my file,

BUT also instruct another DCA.

 

So it seems would have been better to leave alone as taking action has prompted them to recommence DCA activity... Allied International for info.

 

Noddle advised that AGG did not respond to their request for clarification and that they can do no more.

However they say AGG can can lift the suppression on my CRA file at any time.

 

Given my belief that MBNA sold the account whilst it was in dispute to AGG,

I do not believe AGG should be harrassing me and holding the threat of un suppressing the information.

 

I note that there is an unsecured overdraft which id recorded from 2009 and has a note that payment overdue but agreement reached with lender.

I have had no correspondence with that bank since 2010, I think. Memory, confusion, lost and destroyed documents don't help, at what point do banks sell on overdrafts ?

 

Grateful any input.
