    • Hi I received a Parking Charge letter to keeper on Monday 15/04/24, the 17th day after the alleged incident. My understanding is that this is outside the window for notifying. The issue date was 08/04/2024 which should have been in good time for it to have arrived within the notice period but in fact it actually arrived at lunchtime on the 15th. Do I have to prove when it arrived  (and if so how can I do that?) or is the onus on them to prove it was delivered in time? All I can find is that delivery is assumed to be on the second working day after issue which would have been Weds 10//04/24 but it was actually delivered 5 days later than that (thank you Royal Mail!). My husband was present when it arrived - is a family member witness considered sufficient proof? 1 Date of the infringement  arr 28/03/24 21:00, dep 29/03/24 01.27 2 Date on the NTK  08/04/2024 (Date of Issue) 3 Date received Monday 15/04/24 4 Does the NTK mention schedule 4 of The Protections of Freedoms Act 2012?  Yes 5 Is there any photographic evidence of the event? Yes 6 Have you appealed? [Y/N?] post up your appeal] No    Have you had a response?  n/a 7 Who is the parking company? GroupNexus 8. Where exactly [carpark name and town] Petrol Station Roadchef Tibshelf South DE55 5T 'operating in accordance with the BPA's Code of Practice'  
    • lookinforinfo - many thanks for your reply. It would be very interesting to get the letter of discontinuance. The court receptionist said that the county court was in Gloucester 'today' so that makes me think that some days it is in Gloucester and some days its in Cheltenham, it was maybe changed by the courts and i was never informed, who knows if DCBL were or not. My costs were a gallon of petrol and £3.40 for parking. I certainly don't want to end up in court again that's for sure but never say never lol. Its utterly disgusting the way these crooks can legally treat motorists but that's the uk for you. I'm originally from Scotland so it's good that they are not enforceable there but they certainly still try to get money out of you. I have to admit i have lost count of the pcn's i have received in the last 2 yr and 4 months since coming to England for work, most of them stop bothering you on their own eventually, it was just this one that they took it all the way. Like i mentioned in my WS the the likes of Aldi and other companies can get them cancelled but Mcdonalds refused to help me despite me being a very good customer.   brassednecked - many thanks   honeybee - many thanks   nicky boy - many thanks    
    • Huh? This is nothing about paying just for what I use - I currently prefer the averaged monthly payment - else i wouldn't be in credit month after month - which I am comfortable with - else I wold simply request a part refund - which I  would have done if they hadn't reduced my monthly dd after the complaint I raised (handled slowly and rather badly) highlighted the errors in their systems (one of which they do seem to have fixed) Are you not aware DD is always potentially variable? ah well, look it up - but my deal is a supposed to average the payments over a year, and i dont expect them to change payments (up or down) without my informed agreement ESPECIALLY when I'm in credit over winter.   You are happy with your smart meter - jolly for you I dont want one, dont have to have one  - so wont   I have a box that tells me my electricity usage - was free donkeys years ago and shows me everything I need to know just like a smart meter but doesnt need a smart meter,  and i can manually set my charges - so as a side effect - would show me if the charges from the supplier were mismatched. Doesn't tell me if the meters actually calibrated correctly - but neither does your smart meter. That all relies on a label and the competence of the testers - and the competence of any remote fiddling with the settings. You seem happy with that - thats fine. I'm not.    
    • Evening all,   So today, I was sent an updated offer that includes the £12.60 I spent on letters, but they have declined to add the interest at £7.40. They have stating 'We acknowledge your request to claim interest to date, however, this would be at the discretion of a trial judge if the claim did proceed to a trial hearing.' I think I am content with this outcome, and pushing this to a trial for a total interest of £15.30 throughout the claim does not make sense to me.   What are people's thoughts? I am sure our courts have better things to concentrate on?

    • 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.

Earlier this month I relieved a notice of claim letter from a group called BW legal acting on behalf of Lowell portfolio for a catalogue debt from around 2010. I promptly sent a CCA request. Not because I did not want to repay, the debts mine and I work but my finances are a mess but I'm working hard to correct past mistakes and I wanted to negotiate a repayment on my terms that I could afford and not be harassed or bullied into something I could not afford.

 

Now these court papers have arrived I'm out of my depth and don't know what I should do. Please please can someone help me.

 

 

I will upload a PDF of the original claim letter and the court papers now.

 

Please can someone who knows what yo do advise me.

Name of Claimant is Lowell.

 

Issue date. 23 June 2015

 

Claim is for as it appears.

 

The claimants claim is for the sum of 1,387.28 being monies due from the Defendant of the claimant under a financial services agreement regulated by the Consumer Credit act 1974 between the defendant and shop direct finance company limited under account reference ******** and assigned to the claimant on 25/01/2013 notice of which has been given to the defendant.

The defendant failed to maintain the contractual payment under the terms of the agreement and a default notice has been served and not complied with.

The claim also includes statutory interest pursuant to section 69 of the county courts act 1984 at a rate of 8.00% per annum (a daily rate of 0.25 from the date of assignment of the agreement to 35/01/2024 being an amount of 91.50

 

Total value if the claim 1387.28

 

I believe I received default notice and a notice of assignment but I'm unsure if I received the satutory notice of default sums once a year.

 

I ceased payment as at the time my marriage was breaking down I had severe post natal depression and there was a close death in the family. Since then I've been working hard to correct my past mistakes.

 

I believe my last payment was 2014.

 

Please can somebody advise me. I do not want yo go backwards in dealing with my obligations.

Since this is a credit regulated debt have you at any time asked or sent in a SAR? This will also assist you should the finance company issued you with late payment fees.

 

 

You should also sent the Solicitor dealing with this a CPR 31.14 request for all documents they will be relying on in this claim...

If I have been of any help, please click on my star and leave a note to let me know, thank you.

issue date 23.06.2015 + 5 days for service =27.06.2015 + 14 days to acknowledge = 11.07.2015 + 14 days to submit defence = 25.7.2015.

 

The first thing you need to do is to acknowledge the claim - you do this online using the password and claim reference number both on the claim form. When you log onto the MCOL gateway, you will be given a further reference number, so make sure you have a pen/pencil ready so you can jot it down.

 

If you only ceased payments last year, then this wont be statute barred and I have to admit, if it is only a year since you ceased payments then I am surprised they have issued so swiftly !

Thank you for taking the time to help me.

 

I've never requested a SAR should I do that next.

 

How do I go about requesting a CPR 31.14

 

I want to offer to repay them £520 per year paying £10 per week. Is that something I should do straight away. How should I go about it.

 

Any advice you can offer would be great.

http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?387484-LEGAL-CPR-31.14-Request-Request-for-information-when-a-Claim-has-been-issued.

 

Draft CPR request in the link above. You would send this to the solicitor named on the claim form.

 

A Subject access request would be useful if the debt was considerably higher than £520.00 - however it would cost you £10.00 and take 40 calendar days for them to comply with ( you would actually be sending this to the original company). So SAR might be a waste of time.

 

If you are not going to defend the claim, but admit it, then you would need to complete the section of the claim form that you were sent and send it to the Solicitor.

 

I think there is a way of doing this by way of a Consent order. I will ask andyorch to pop back and advise on that. I think if this is accepted then there wont be a judgment entered. I am not totally sure of that. So please wait until andyorch responds.

If you wish to steer this to a monthly payment arrangement and avoid a CCJ then you must defend all......then try to attain an agreement at mediation.

Thank you. Forgive me for asking what might seem obvious but this is all very alien to me.

If I defend all will it be guaranteed to go to mediation.

 

My options on the back of the court letter include the option of agreeing but asking time to pay As I've not been advised to take this option is that because they will not try to reach a amicable agreement with me.

 

Again thank you for trying to help me.

My options on the back of the court letter include the option of agreeing but asking time to pay As I've not been advised to take this option is that because they will not try to reach a amicable agreement with me. Only 1 option to select the others are guaranteed Judgment for the claimant

Thank you Andy.

If you can, could you help me a little further as I'm really struggling to get my head around this. I don't quite understand everything.

I originally requested the CCA as I wanted to buy some time and arrange to repay on my terms with an agreement I could afford. That seems to have backfired as they have ignored that request and immediately sent these court papers. I have now completely lost the opportunity to negotiate a repayment agreement.

 

What's likely to happen now. I have 2 small children at home and I have some debts I'm repaying that I have not defaulted on. I work and pay all my bills on time but I am in the process if clearing some arrears that I would have successfully cleared in the next 2 to 3 months.

Am I going to be made to pay an amount I cannot realistically afford.

 

I cannot thank you enough for the advice you have already given me. Thank you.

Dolly...its quite understandable that if you have never had to deal with is before it can appear to be mind boggling.

 

You requested a copy of the agreement vis a section 77/78 request...as you are fully legally entitled to do as a consumer.The assignee (that's Lowell) is a debt buyer...they buy defunct failed credit agreements from the original creditors...which have wrote off your debt...claimed tax allowance ..and then sold it for as little as 10p in the £1.

 

Back to your CCA request....instead of complying ( probably because there isn't one or cant get it) they have opted for litigation and issued the claim against you.I would hope that they did comply with pre action protocol and gave you notice it was their intention to sue you and allow you time to make proposals?

 

Nevertheless they are still in default of your section 77/78 request (they have 12+2 days to comply) and are therefore pursuant to the CCA1974 prevented from legally seeking/requesting relief for the said agreement (taking you to court).

 

So...as stated you have 3 options....

 

admit the debt and return the papers to the claimant.(automatic CCJ)

Partially admit the debt and submit a defence (automatic CCJ for the part admitted)

Or defend in full...for the above reasons I have stated.

 

Your first task is to register to use the MCOL service so you can deal with this on line (instructions are contained within the response pack)

Once registered you will be able to acknowledge service (this is acknowledging service of the claim)...you have 19 days to complete this from the date on the claim form...date on the claim form being day 1 )....ignore contest jurisdiction and then enter your plea...which I would advise to be defend all.

 

You then have a further 14 days to submit your defence (so you have 33 days in total) take time to look at other similar threads from the same claimant and you will see that invariably once a defence is submitted they usually discontinue their claim...this is because they cant provide the paperwork to substantiate their claim.

 

You can still opt to mediate during the process if you wish to make a regular payment plan and avoid a CCJ...but this option is only available if you intend to defend all.

 

Regards

Thank you so much Andy, it's a little clearer now. They did send me a Notice of Claim letter but it only gave me 11 days including 2 weekends from the day of receipt to act. Should I still send them a letter noting they defaulted on the CCA request or does that not matter any more.

 

What do I do first. The CPR letter or contest the claim and defend all plea. As I have 2 weeks to enter a plea is it better to not rush in and use the maximum amount of time allowed.

 

In your experience of these matters. If everything goes against me will I be ordered to repay an amount that isn't realistic to my financial position.

Thank you so much Andy, it's a little clearer now.

Should I still send them a letter noting they defaulted on the CCA request or does that not matter any more. No its irrelevant...but they are in default and the above stated stands

 

What do I do first. The CPR letter or contest the claim and defend all plea. As I have 2 weeks to enter a plea is it better to not rush in and use the maximum amount of time allowed.Its your choice ...do both now and then you can relax...but beware of your defence date

 

In your experience of these matters. If everything goes against me will I be ordered to repay an amount that isn't realistic to my financial position.You can only pay what is affordable and realistic...but Im sure it wont come to that

Thank you Andy. When this court letter arrived yesterday I felt sick and panicked. Your calm approach has put me at ease and I can't say thank you enough

I never offered any proposals or payment and when I sent the CCA request I denied all knowledge of the debt, I thought it would allow me a better position when it did come to negotiating. I will print out the CPR request when I'm in work tomorrow and send it off recorded delivery. I will wait until next week to enter my plea with the intention to defend all.

 

Is the basis of my defense is that they must prove the alleged debt is mine. And if they can prove it do I then request mediation.

The basis of the defence will put them to strict proof that they are legally able to bring and substantiate the claim....without a copy of the executed agreement this may prove a tad difficult.

Send off your CPR 31.14 request lets see the response....and we can take it from there with regards on how to proceed.Make sure you acknowledge and state defend all irrespective for now.

I just received these 2 letters from bwlegal. From their advice on what I should do next, which is to phone 1 of their friendly representatives to arrange an affordable repayment plan. Im guessing you were correct Andy and they do not actually have anything to support their claim against me.

 

 

Again thank you. I will be back once I receive a reply to the CPR request.

I sent the CPR letter on Monday morning and registered with the MCOL the same day and acknowledged the claim. I haven't done any thing since but today I received a reply dated the 1 July. It's very short but word for word reads

 

We refer to the above matter and your letter dated 26 June 2015, the contents of which have been noted.

 

We can confirm that we have received your previous correspondence and responded to you on 23 June 2015. We have requested copy documentation from our client and our file remains on hold.

 

We will contact you further in due course.

 

Yours faithfully.

 

The previous correspondence they refer to from the 23 June us the CCA request which they still have not produced. What happens next. Do I still need to submit my defense before the deadline.

Again thank you for all your advice.

You still need to submit your defence on time...a claimant can hold the process by not requesting judgment once you have exceeded your 33 days...but its better to file on time just to ensure.

Thank you. Are BW legal working to a deadline now or can they put a hold on this indefinitely.
