    • I have received a PCN from Euro Car Parks for MFG - Esso Cobham - Gravesend. I was completely unaware that there was any such limit for parking and always considered this to be a service station. I stopped there to use the toilet, have a coffee and made a couple of work calls. I have read the previous topics on this location which suggest I can ignore this and ECP will not take legal action. The one possible complication is that the vehicle is leased by my employer so I do not want to involve them with the associated reminders and threatening letters. The PCN was first issued to the leasing company Arval who have notified ECP of the hiring company. I have attached a copy of the PCN Notice to Hirer with details removed as per instructions. What options do I have or should I just pay the PCN promptly at the reduced rate of £60? img20240424_23142631.pdf
    • What you have uploaded is a letter with daft empty threats from third-party paper tigers.  Just ignore it. What we need to see is the original invoice you received last October or November.
    • Thanks for posting the CPR contents. i do wish you hadn't blanked out the dates and times since at times they can be relevant . Can you please repost including times and dates. They say that they sent a copy of  the original  PCN that they sent to the Hirer  along with your hire agreement documents. Did you receive them and if so can you please upload the original PCN without erasing dates and times. If they did include  all the paperwork they said, then that PCN is pretty near compliant except for their error with the discount time. In the Act it isn't actually specified but to offer a discount for 14 days from the OFFENCE is a joke. the offence occurred probably a couple of months prior to you receiving your Notice to Hirer.  Also the words in parentheses n the Act have been missed off. Section 14 [5][c] (c)warn the hirer that if, after the period of 21 days beginning with the day after that on which the notice to hirer is given, the amount of unpaid parking charges referred to in the notice to keeper under paragraph 8(2)(f) or 9(2)(f) (as the case may be) has not been paid in full, the creditor will (if any applicable requirements are met) have the right to recover from the hirer so much of that amount as remains unpaid; Though it states "if any applicable ...." as opposed to "if all applicable......" in Section 8 or 9. Maybe the Site could explain what the difference between the two terms mean if there is a difference. Also on your claim form they keeper referring to you as the driver or the keeper.  You are the Hirer and only the Hirer is responsible for the charge EVEN IF THEY WEREN'T THE DRIVER. So they cannot pursue the driver and nowhere in the Hirer section of the Act is the hirer ever named as the keeper so NPC are pursuing the wrong person.

    • 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.

A bit off topic as it relates to a DCA but thought I'd keep it here having it together.

 

Got this from BT today, with a 25% charge added. Any advice? I don't dispute the debt.

 

 

Mr XXXXXXXXX

 

BT Ref: XXXXXXXXXX

 

Date 03/08/2015

 

Dear XXXXX,

 

We've passed your debt of £141 to a debt collection agency.

 

We've sent you several reminders but you still haven't paid us what you owe. So we've now passed your debt to Pastdue Credit Solutions, an authorised debt collection agency and member of the Credit Services Association (CSA) who will get in touch with you about paying it off.

 

We've also added a charge of 25%, included in the outstanding balance above, to cover the cost of us handing over the debt.

 

If you want to stop this going any further:

 

visit Pastdue Credit Solutions's website at http://www.pastduecredit.co.uk to make a payment, or set-up regular payments, or

call 0141 951 6448 to make a payment, or to talk about your financial circumstances and agree what you can afford to pay regularly until you settle your debt , or

contact the agency by email [email protected] or write to them at 1 Blair Court, North Avenue, Clydebank Business Park, Glasgow G81 2LA

If you don't pay, or make an arrangement to pay what you owe over time, we might recommend legal action to recover your debt. Legal action would mean extra costs to you, and might affect your credit rating.

 

If you've paid us in the last few days, you can ignore this letter.

 

Yours sincerely,

 

XXXXX

I'd redact that properly, as has your full name.

 

You can ignore powerless past due, just file their puerile missives in file 13.

 

Deal with BT direct.

 

I know you've added this here, but it will get more advice if you start a new thread about it in the telecomms forum.

 

How did this come about?

And you can ignore their added fee as well! Chancers!

Who ever heard of someone getting a job at the Jobcentre? The unemployed are sent there as penance for their sins, not to help them find work!

Edited. I'll post on the telecomms after tea!

 

 

I was forced out of a property due to several gas leaks and through my own bad choices,

cancelled my DD and all communications with BT and signed up to another provider.

 

 

They originally kept asking for over £500 and when I just kept saying "no" and that I was unemployed

they've all of a sudden dropped it to the above figure. £100 roughly minus the 25%.

 

 

Should I just call BT up directly and offering to pay the fee minus the 25% in instalments?

 

They've said that they won't deal with me directly,

 

 

I assume this is bull?

I wouldn't call them unless you can record your calls.

 

Write to them (or email) and make them the offer, if they again claim that you have to go through their tin pot DCA, then it is clear they don't want your money.

 

And you pay no-one.

From what I understand it was an early termination charge because I stopped paying my bill. I told them I was leaving due to be forced to move back home as the property the internet was installed at was inhabitable.

 

This is the breakdown of what they say I owe:

 

Line Rental

7 Feb - 18 Feb 15

This is a refund of your Line Rental which you paid in advance up to 18 Feb

2015.

-£6.58

Line Rental*

6 Feb 15

You cancelled this service while on contract - so this charge is for your

Line Rental to the end of your contract.

 

 

Package Package

Refund Broadband and Calls

7 Feb - 18 Feb 15

This is a refund of the price of your Package which you paid in advance up

to 18 Feb 2015

-£8.90

DPC for Free BT Home Hub 5

6 Feb 15

You have left BT Total Broadband within 12 months - so this charge is for

the cost of your broadband equipment

 

Total rental and other charges

£112.90

 

I was only a couple months into the contract so the charges do seem low. However charging £65 for the homehub is scandalous, especially given they didn't once ask for it back. I still have it so can easily send it back to them and deduct £65 from whatever they claim I owe :-D

 

Leaving £47.90. Will offer tomorrow, anyone have an email address for them? The contact us section is awful!
