    • In short you never communicate with a Debt Collector, they have no power here at all. The snotty letter is only used to respond to a properly worded Letter Before Claim. The only time you would be recommended to contact the PPC is to send the snotty letter. You do nothing but keep the tripe they send you unless you receive a letter before claim.
    • Probably to do with the Creditor accepting the reduced payments claim as part of the IVA. - Thats my guess anyway.  As for the mount outstanding... 60k is incredible and im pretty sure a DRO wouldnt cover that much even after the new legislation.    For you @Alfy - Please stay headstrong and stop worrying. My viewpoint on debt with debt collectors is simple. You are a figure on a spreadsheet loaded into a database for them to run a collection cycle through.  They dont care about emotions or your situation, they just care about paying off their shareholders and trying to turn a profit.  They use varying tactics to increase the pressure on you to the point where you will break. People then fall for this an either cave in to DCAs before doing their own due diligence on the debts that are purchased or turn to IVAs like you have.    They are better ways to handle this and Im glad you feel better after a good nights sleep - I hope you can keep it up. 
    • Good afternoon,    I am writing in reference to the retail dispute number ****, between myself and Newton Autos concerning the sale of a Toyota Avensis which has been found to have serious mechanical faults.    As explained previously the car was found to be faulty just six days after purchase. The car had numerous fault codes that appeared on the dash board and went into limp mode. This required assistance from the AA and this evidence has already been provided. The car continues to exhibit these faults and has been diagnosed as having faults with the fuel injectors which will require major mechanical investigation and repairs.    Newton Autos did not make me aware of any faults upon purchase of the vehicle and sold it as being in good condition.    Newton Autos have also refused to honour their responsibilities under The Consumer Rights Act 2015 which requires them to refund the customer if the goods are found to be faulty and not fit for purpose within 30 days of purchase.    Newton Autos also refused to accept my rejection of the vehicle and refused to refund the car and accept the return of the vehicle.    It is clear to me that the car is not fit for purpose as these mechanical faults occurred so soon after purchase and have been shown to be present by both the AA and an independent mechanic.   Kind regards
    • Commercial Landlords are legally allowed to sue for early cancellation of the lease. You can only surrender your lease if your landlord agrees to your doing so. They are under no obligation even to consider your request and are entitled to refuse. You cannot use this as an excuse not to pay your rent. Your landlord is most likely to agree to your surrendering the lease if they want the property back in order to redevelop it, or if they wants to rent it to what they regards as a better tenant or at a higher rent. There are two types of surrender: Express surrender in writing. This is a written document which sets out the terms of the surrender. Implied surrender by conduct. (applies to your position) You can move out of the property you leased, simply hand your keys back and the lease will come to an end, but only if the landlord agrees to accept your surrender. Many tenants have thought they can simply post the keys through the landlord's letter box and the lease is ended. This is not true and without a document from the landlord, not only do you not know if the landlord has accepted the surrender, you also do not know on what basis they have accepted and could find they sue you for rent arrears, service charge arrears, damage to the property and compensation for your attempt to leave the property without the landlord's agreement. Unless you are absolutely certain that the landlord is agreeable to your departure, you should not attempt to imply a surrender by relying on your and the landlord's conduct.  
    • I had to deal with these last year worst DCA I have ever dealt with. Just wait for the constant threats of CCJ and how you'll lose in court and how they won't do mediation and they want the judge to question you with a load of "BIG" words to boot with the letter. My case was struck out in the end, stupidity on their part as I admitted to owing the debt in the end going through the court process was just a formality as they wouldn't let it drop despite me admitting the debt regardless. They didn't send the last part of the court paper work in so it ended up being struck out     .

    • 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.

Hi Just a quick one.....bought a ticket for what i thought was 2.5 hours parking (on tariff paid for two hours and added extra 50p in case I went just over two hours, but next tariff was 3 hours and more than I paid) but if I now pay the fine can I take off the £2.50 I have already paid?

 

Thanks in advance!

Who is it from?

please don't hit Quote...just type we know what we said earlier..

DCA's view debtors as suckers, marks and mugs

NO DCA has ANY legal powers whatsoever on ANY debt no matter what it's Type

and they

are NOT and can NEVER  be BAILIFFS. even if a debt has been to court..

If everyone stopped blindly paying DCA's Tomorrow, their industry would collapse overnight...

So sign was set like this....roughly as I remember

 

1 hour £1.00

2 hours £2.00

3 hours £3.00

 

I paid £2.50 and arrived back at the car 5 mins after 2 hours was up thinking I had paid enough but had a ticket as I had passed 2 hrs.

 

Ticket is UKPC

print offence on ticket "parked after the expiry of paid for time in a pay and display bay"

 

I wrote stating it was obvious I had made mistake as I would not have paid the extra 50p over £2.... I thought (wrongly) I was paying for 2.5hrs but no slack from them! so have to pay now £60 reduced rate if I pay it soon.

So it's a windscreen ticket and you have "ID'ed your self as the "Driver".

 

Have you still got the ticket you got from the machine ??

 

Write to the PPC again and head it as Appeal to parking ticket no. *****

If you do not accept this appeal then please provide a POPLA code so I can appeal too them.

Er NO! You do NOT have to pay anyone anything.

 

You paid for your parking, so what if you were 5 minutes over the time on your ticket, forget it, you paid.

 

Why do you think you need to pay anyone?

These clowns are waiting to mug you, don't give in, follow the advice by ericsbrother, they CANNOT win.

Hi

I have to agree with everyone so far.

 

5 minutes late! Grace period? UKPC will reject any representation you make but you still need to appeal to them. When they reject you, they should issue you with a POPLA code to take this further.

 

My opinion. You will win. You paid a fee. They never allowed any grace period and the parking charge does not represent a Genuine Pre Estimate of Loss (GPEoL)

the important thing is they havent been caused a loss and the CoP means that they should have cancelled the demand anyway. They wont like having to give you a POPLA code so expect to receive a letter full of obfuscation and misdirection. If no POPLA code you wait for 35 days and then they are screwed as they cant then do court

Sorry but I didnt realise until I looked for another picture on my phone that I had taken a picture of the machine while while I was there so here is the exact info.....

 

Machine/sign sais

 

1-2 Hours £2.40

2-3 Hours £3.60

 

I paid £2.90 at 15.12 thinking if I was just over 2 hours ( this is cinema complex and film was just under 2 hours) this would be more than enough time to come back to the car from the film but the ticket ran out at 17.12 I returned at 17.20 had a chat with the parking attendant as to why I had it, then photographed ticket in front of the machine clock showing 17.30 by then.

 

I dont think this changes the advice given here.... which I am very grateful for you for by the way!

Send the letter headed "appeal" and you want a POPLA code.

 

The appeal to the PPC will fail but they have to issue a POPLA code. ... That costs them £29.00 odd. ... Good News !!!!

At a POPLA appeal you will WIN. ... No question.

 

You paid over the odds for the parking so they suffered no loss.

 

Pay'em JACK. ...... Your dealing with "Bandits" Bro.

 

8 minutes and a £60.00 "invoice". Yeah nice money if you can get it !!

I would also go back to the site and photograph the signs. many signs are confusing and some of them don't even have planning permission to be there.

 

Ericsbrother is pretty damned good at pulling the wordings apart on signs.

Stupidly I replied a day too late of the appeal option but dated the letter back a day before deadline an posted it anyway... sounds stupid but I am self employed and have a child to look after so missed it.....so have I blown it or am I still in with a chance?...I have had a letter from DRP (debt recovery plus) asking for £160.00. I have sent them the popla appeal letter I sent asking them not to pursue this further for now!

 

Thanks again all!

Don't even bother with DR+. they are the PPCs favourite DCA for hire and have absolutely no power over you...ever.

 

The only time you will need to act is if court papers hit the mat and then there are people here that can assist in that matter too

In my opinion, yes. The case they are referring to is Beavis -V- Parking Eye. The case in question has established that in some circumstances they can claim the amounts demanded. This is till to be fully debated as the land in question, PE paid the landowner for the privilege of issuing parking tickets.

 

In other car parks, the landowner gets a kick back from the parking company so (again, in my opinion) this is a different scenario.

 

DR+ can do nothing, UKPC is still in the doghouse over doctored parking tickets so this is still up in the air as to whether they will take further action or not.

 

If UKPC did try it on in court, the costs incurred will still outweigh what they 'may' win as small claims have fixed costs.

DR+ are willy waving, hoping that you'll give in and pay them money you don't owe, if it bothers you, don't read their letters,

nothing more than computer generated garbage, with words deliberately used to threaten and intimidate you.

ask yourself why DR+ are asking for £160? have you signed a contract with them for that amount for something? No. this tells you all you need to know about the rights they have over anything at all. none. Ignore them completely and tell us if you get any further correspondence from the parking co.
