    • I'm at work now but promise to look in later. Can you confirm how you paid the first invoice?  It wasn't your fault if the signal was so poor and there was no alternative way to pay.  There must be a chance of reversing the charge with your bank.  There are no guarantees but Kev  https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/09766749/officers  has never had the backbone to do court so far.  Not even in one case,  
    • OK  so you may not have outed yourself if you said "we". No matter either way you paid. Snotty letter I am surprised that they were so quick off the mark threatening Court. They usually take months to go that far. No doubt that as you paid the first one they decided to strike quickly and scare you into paying. Dear Chuckleheads  aka Alliance,  I am replying to your LOCs You may have caught me the first time but that is  the end. What a nasty organisation you are. You do realise that you now have now no reason to continue to pursue me after reading my appeal since you know that my car was not cloned. Any further pursuit will end up with a complaint to the ICO that you are breaching my GDPR.  Please confirm that you have removed my details from your records. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ I haven't gone for a snotty letter this time as they know that you paid for your car in another car park. So using a shot across their bows .  If it doesn't deter them and they send in the debt collectors or the Court you will then be able to get more money back from them for  breachi.ng your data protection than they will get should they win in Court-and they have no chance of that as you have paid. So go in with guns blazing and they might see sense.  Although never underestimate how stupid they are. Or greedy.
    • Thank you. Such a good point. They did issue all 3 before I paid though. I only paid one because I didn’t have proof of parking that time, only for two others.    Unfortunately no proof of my appeal as it was just submitted through a form on their website and no copy was sent to me. I only have the reply. I believe I just put something like “we made the honest mistake of using the incorrect parking area on the app” and that’s it. Thanks again for your help. 
    • They are absolute chuckleheads. You paid but because you entered a different car park site also belonging to them they are pursuing you despite them knowing what you had done. It would be very obvious to everyone, including Alliance that your car could not have been in two places at the same time. Thank you for posting the PCN so quickly making it a pity that you appealed since there are so many things wrong with it that you as keeper are not liable to pay the charge. They rarely accept appeals since that would mean they lose money but they have virtually no chance of beating you in Court. Very unlikely that they will take you to Court given the circumstances. Just in case you didn't out yourself as the driver could you please post up your appeal.
    • Jasowter I hope that common sense prevails with Iceland and the whole matter can be successfully ended. I would perhaps not have used a spell checker just to prove the dyslexia 🙂 though it may have made it more difficult to read. I noticed that you haven't uploaded the original PCN .Might not be necessary if the nes from Iceland is good. Otherwise perhaps you could get your son to do it by following the upload instructions so that we can appeal again with the extra ammunition provided by the PCN. Most of them rarely manage to get the wording right which means that you as the keeper are not liable to pay the charge-only the driver is and they do not know the name and address of the driver. So that would put you both in the clear if the PCN is non compliant.

    • 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.

Re: Help problems with marstons

What type of debt is this ?

 

Depending on what it is, you may be able to set up a payment arrangement with whoever you owe money to. Of couse the bailiff wants to come out, as this means more fees for Marstons. You may be able to resolve before this.

We could do with some help from you.

Yes as DX says ,ring step change or pay plan and get them to commence a plan they are free providers.

 

You speak of setting asside so this is a civil debt rather than a fine ?

 

I take it that you are receiving correspondence form high court enforcment officers ?

 

Also keep in mind that unless they are enforcing against business premises they have no more rights of entry than any other bailiff enforcing a civil debt, park your car out of the way and do not let them in, no matter what they may say.

 

YOu would have compiled an income and outgoings statement for your DMP provider, send this and an offer of payment to the bailiff, also email it and then ring them up to say that this is what you have done.

 

Come back on here and tell us what they say

Dump them

 

Why the beep did you sign up with them?

 

They'll take most of you first 3 mths in fees

 

The bailliff will get nothing

 

A DMC is not the way to sort a bailliff debt

 

Now this debt

 

So how did this ovo bill get to court and get a ccj

Was it ovo that took you to court or a debt buyer?

Did you not defend it?

 

I suspect Marston's are acting as hceos here?

 

That letter will have cost you upto £150 ...

 

Ring HB up now

 

And cancel the plan totally

 

They were very very wrong to let you blindly take out the plan to pay a bailliff

 

Again I'll say....they will not see any of the money you pay HB for at least 3 MTS

You've been had blind

 

Who took you to court?

Who got the ccj?

when did they get the ccj?

Did you defend it?

 

Something smells here......

So you have a county court judgement and a hcoe coming Friday

 

There is no right of entry

No locksmith either

 

A paid for debt management company will only do what is good for them putting you in MORE debt

So that they get MORE MONEY from you

They make millions out of people in debt and do nothing to help

 

Paid for debt management is a bad bad idea

There are free ones

 

If you have other debts they can be dealt with

Perhaps list them so they can be dealt with

If i have helped in any way hit my star.

any advice given is based on experience and learnt from this site :-)

You can check for CCJ's on the site. Trustonline, but there is a fee per search.

 

OVO still have a responsibility to deal with you and to provide any proof of debt that you require. Ask OVO for statements of account proving there was an amount owed.

Did you tell ovo and ask for a final bill? Utilities are good at inflating debt gaining a default CCJ, and adding charges so they can take it to the High Court.

 

Follow what Unclebulgaria, and DX have advised, as to marstons they have only done what the writ commands, you might have to complain to the toothless useless OFGEM, and your troughing expenses loving MP.

Ok ive just checked my credit report and the energy company have a ccj on my file

 

Phone the central court that would have dealt with it.

 

0300 123 1056

 

You need to know what the original particulars of claim were and where the claim was sent. Also ask them whether the CCJ has been elevated to High court or is it still at County court level.

 

There is a different course of action depending on whether it is High court or County. Hence why you need to know. If it is High court, then the bailiff fees are much higher and this might influence the amount of action you are wiiling to take to stop this happening.

By the way. The court will tell you to contact the claimant for the CCJ info. Tell them they have refused to provide it, which is why you are phoning the court. They will then provide it to you.

 

Come back with the info.

Yes, but did you get the details of the claim made, whether it is still at County court level or now High court ?

 

You need to know this.

 

To be honest, i think you would be best speaking to somebody about this. National Debtine and Stepchange both have freephone lines. They will tell you exactly what to do. You can ask questions. But they would need more information about the CCJ and whether County or now High court. Sometimes people just find it easier to talk to someone, rather than an internet self help site like this, where you are being given guidance.
