    • wont go near it with a barge pole as its ex gov't debt.  
    • Thanks, I've had my fill of this lot. What makes me so mad is that I had to take out student loan to get any DHSS help. And then when I tried to help myself and family they presented obstacles. Might be worth passing story to RIP off Britain?
    • there is NO exposure if you simple remove your name address/ref numbers etc from docs, over 10'000 pdf uploads are here. which then harvests IP addresses off of the people that then do so..which is why we do not allow hosting sites. read our rules and upload carefully thats exactly why we say capture as JPG, redact, then convert/merge to one mass PDF. then online sites to achieve that we list do not leave watermarks.  every once in a while we have a user like you that thinks they know better...we've been doing it since 2006 with not one security issue. thank you.
    • was at the time you ticked it  but now they've still not complied . if you read up, here , you'll see thats what everyone does,  
    • no they never allow the age related get out, erudio are masters at faking supposed 'arrears' fees which were levied before said date and thus null its write off. 1000's of threads here on them!! scammers untied that lot. i can almost guarantee they'll state it's not SB'd too re above, but just ignore them once sent. dx

    • 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.

Good morning.

 

Unfortunately, on 03/10/2015 i was issued a Parking Charge Notice by Parking Control Management (UK) Limited for the sum of £60.00 whilst I was parked on a private car park.

 

I had appealed on the grounds that the signs had been vandalised which of course was rejected by PCM and decided to follow it through with another appeal to The Independent Appeals Service and also this was dismissed.

 

I have left it whilst seeking advice but PCM have now referred it over to Debt Recovery Plus Limited who are chasing me for the amount of £160.00

 

I'm not the best when it comes to this sort of stuff, and hope someone would be able to advise me further about the whole situation and where I stand.

 

I have linked in an album as there are too many images to display on here of my PCN, Evidence and also the appeal that i submitted to TheIAS which can be viewed here: http://imgur.com/a/Eld1V

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated as I do not want to pay these people a penny as they do not deserve it.

Just ignore them, they won't do anything apart from send nasty letters.

Parking Control Management (UK) Ltd are the phoenix company of Parking Control Management Ltd, the bullying clamping company, when clamping wasn't illegal.

It would cost them more to take you to court than they would win from you, and you can't claim legal expenses in a small claims court.

Hello and welcome to CAG.

 

Others who know more than me will be along to comment later, I expect. But if you've got to the DR+ stage, from our experience you're approaching the end of the road with this. Have a read around the forum for threads about DR+, I don't think anyone has ended up paying them.

It doesnt really matter what you say to the IAS or in what capacity, they think the law doesnt apply to them or their clients (they dont act independently as they are Gladstones solicitors, who are registered as the owners of the IPC- see parking prankster's in depth insight). In short, if the signage is defaced then how are you supposed to make an informed decision whetehr to accept the terms offered by the signs when you cant read it. If illegible you can say that there were no restriction imposed by the signs and that is that.

There are many reasons that make the supposed breach of conditions a nonsense so if you get a letter from eeither a solicitors or the parking co marked " letter before action" or letter before claim then come back here. Begging letters from debt collecting agencies or any other letter from a solicitors such as Miah's, Gladstones or the like are just scrap paper. keep them safe but dont panic, they hope to frighten you into paying up.

OK that's fine, I will continue to ignore them until they send court papers or letters before action. Hopefully it doesn't come to that but we'll see what happens and i'll update this thread accordingly. Thanks so much for the information provided!

Good morning.

 

I have received a letter this morning from Debt Recovery Plus Limited with the heading "Letter before referral for legal action"

 

The letter states the following:

 

Dear Mr Client

 

I am writing to you personally because I have been instructed by Parking Control Management (UK) Ltd to obtain immediate settlement of the outstanding balance of £160.00

 

Despite previous requests for payment you have either failed to respond to our letters or settle the debt. I now advise you that unless fill payment is received within the next 14 days I am instructed to report back to Parking Control Management (UK) Ltd with a recommendation to refer your case to our clients solicitor, to consider commencing court proceedings against you.

 

Should Parking Control Management (UK) Ltd issue proceedings against you and a judgement is awarded in the favour, it may affect your ability to obtain credit in the future.

 

 

Would anyone mind advising me in what steps I should take now to deal with this issue?

Hello there.

 

I suspect the guys will tell you to ignore the letter. Looking at it, they don't say they will issue court proceedings, they are going to consider that, and it may affect your credit rating.

 

If you read around the forum, plenty of people have had letters from DR+ and it's been the end of the trail. The forum guys should be along later.

The last letter I had from them said that months ago. I'd say you've probably heard the last of them.

dont forget DR+ CANT do anything as they dont own the debt so they have no legal standing. that is why the letter says things like "recommend" or "advise our clients to". My granny would recommend they wash their mouths out with soap for saying some of the things they spout forth.
