    • What type of finance is it?   HP, PCP, Loan? They want her to ring so they can bully her into making payments she can't afford...unless she can record her calls then IMHO, I'd keep everything in writing. Is £400 SSP her only income? There's no chance they will justify taking half of that.   Lodge a formal complaint with them ASAP, exhaust it, and then you can escalate it sooner rather than later, ruddy sharks!  
    • Is all of this actually on the signage? Don't remember seeing that much detail on other threads.
    • If I have learnt one thing from this forum, it's not to call and communicate via email. I passed this info on to her and they are pushing for her to call them.    "Unfortunately, you will need to call us. The conversation won’t be so black and white as to therefore type over email. In a nutshell we can confirm that the request to not pay for 3 months we cannot put in place"  I emailed them back on her behalf and said that what ever is discussed over the phone will need to be put in an email so that she can review it properly. No decisions will be made on that phone call.    "Once we speak to you on the phone we will follow up with an email to confirm the options discussed. [Phone number]"   Why are they pushing for a phone call? If its not so black and white, why can they then follow up with an email?  
    • Appreciate input Andy, updated: IN THE ******** County Court Claim No. [***] BETWEEN: LC Asset 2 S.A.R.L CLAIMANT AND [***] DEFENDANT ************ _________________________ ________ WITNESS STATEMENT OF [***] _________________________ ________ I, [***], being the Defendant in this case will state as follows;     I make this Witness Statement in support of my defence in this claim.   1. I understand that the claimant is an Assignee, a buyer of defunct or bad debts, which are bought on mass portfolios at a much-reduced cost to the amount claimed and which the original creditors have already written off as a capital loss and claimed against taxable income as confirmed in the claimant’s witness statement exhibit by way of the Deed of Assignment. As an assignee or creditor as defined in section 189 of the CCA this applies to this new requirement on assignment of rights. This means that when an assignee purchases debts (or otherwise acquires rights under a credit agreement) it also acquires certain obligations to the borrower including the duty to comply with CCA requirements (such as the rules on statements and notices and other post-contractual information). The assignee becomes the creditor under the agreement. This ensures that essential consumer protections under the CCA cannot be circumvented by assigning the debt to a third party. 2. The Claim relates to an alleged Credit Card agreement between the Defendant and Bank of Scotland plc. Save insofar of any admittance it is accepted that the Defendant has had contractual agreements with Bank of Scotland plc in the past, the Defendant is unaware as to what alleged debt the Claimant refers. The Defendant has not entered any contract with the Claimant. 3. The Defendant requested a copy of the CCA on the 24/12/2022 along with the standard fee of £1.00 postal order, to which the defendant received a reply from the Claimant dated 06/02/2023. To this date, the Claimant has failed to disclose a valid agreement and proof as per their claim that this is enforceable, that Default Notice and Notice of Assignment were sent to and received by the Defendant, on which their claim relies. The Claimant is put to strict proof to verify and confirm that the exhibit *** is a true copy of the agreement and are the true Terms and Conditions as issued at the time of inception of the online application and execution of the agreement. 4. Point 3 is noted. The Claimant pleads that a default notice has been served upon the defendant as evidenced by Exhibit [***]. The claimant is put to strict proof to verify the service of the above in accordance with s136 and s196 Law of Property Act 1925. 5. Point 6 is noted and disputed. The Defendant cannot recall ever having received the notice of assignment as evidenced in the exhibit marked ***. The claimant is put to strict proof to verify the service of the above in accordance with s136 and s196 Law of Property Act 1925. 6. Point 11 is noted and disputed. See 3. 7. Point 12 is noted, the Defendant doesn’t recall receiving contact where documentation is provided as per the Claimants obligations under CCA. In addition, the Claimant pleads letters were sent on dates given, yet those are not the letters evidenced in their exhibits *** 8. Point 13 is noted and denied. Claimant is put to strict proof to prove allegations. 9. The Claimant did not provide a true copy of the CCA in response to the Defendants request of 21/12/2022. The Claimant further claims that the documents are sufficient to pursue a Judgement and are therefore copies of original documents in their possession. Conclusion 10. Without the Claimant providing a valid true copy of the executed Credit agreement that complies with the CCA, the Claimant has no grounds on which to enforce this alleged debt. 11. The Claimant has been unjustly enriched at the expense of the Defendant by purchasing bulk debt at a greatly reduced cost and subrogating for the original creditor in trying to recuperate the full amount of the original debt 12. The Defendant was not given ample evidence to prove the debt and therefore was not required to enter settlement negotiations. Should the debt be proved in the future, the Defendant is willing to enter such negotiations with the Claimant. On receipt of this claim I could not recall the precise details of the agreement or any debt and sought clarity from the claimant by way of a Section 78 request. The Claimant failed to comply. I can only assume as this was due to the Claimant not having any enforceable documentation and issuing a claim in hope of an undefended default judgment.   Statement of Truth I, ********, the Defendant, believe the facts stated within this Witness Statement to be true. I understand that proceedings for contempt of court may be brought against anyone who makes, or causes to be made, a false statement in a document verified by a statement of truth without an honest belief in it’s truth.

    • 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.

Morning everyone

 

Back in October Myself and another friend popped into see a friend and drop off/collect some bits and pieces at his flat from a project we working in together.

 

 

At his estate there are many residents bays for the private owners and housing association residents

plus a small area for loading and unloading items as its a fair walk to the flats across the garden if you've got shopping etc

 

As I was just dropping bits off I stopped off in the loading and unloading area

which is not at all sign posted, no warnings etc,

got on with with seeing my friend

 

 

whilst chatting on the way out the door a very well known resident

who is also very unliked but virtually everyone who lives at the estate

burst out the door saying he had photographed my car and was reporting it for not being parked correctly.

 

 

Minutes later he was messaging my other friend, who was parked next to me for the same amount of time

doing the same thing as me (and clearly visible in the photograph as his car is bright yellow!)

saying that he won't report his car as he'll give him a bit of leeway

 

 

but he's reported mine as he doesn't like me (pathetic I know!)

esidents at this estate can have an app on their phones for reporting parking issues on behalf of ukcpm

 

There was many a heated conversation about this subject,

many people involved and even the management committee for the estate

(he's on the residents directors committee)

 

I received a letter from cpm with the photo attached clearly showing both cars etc

But this letter said on it a notice had been attached to my car,

the appeal date had passed and I had no responded, it's now escalated and cost has increased!!

I appealed this anyway outlining the whole story to which ukcpm just sent a standard rejection letter back.

 

I was advised by many other residents to just ignore it, they're not enforceable "fines"

and don't worry

 

 

6 months on I've had a letter from Debt recovery plus.

I've done a fair bit of research and most threads here say ignore and don't pay them but nothing too recent.

 

In the letter they say a landmark court case was won in November 2015

at the Supreme Court which was found in favour of the car park operator

 

after my long story my question is

should I be worried?

I've got messages, phone calls and a video of the reporting resident

having a rant about why he did it etc

nd shows clearly in the notice another car next to me that was not reported

 

Just after some advice and opinions really, thanks in advance

Hi

I assume it was the same management committee that appointed UKPCM so it would be down to them to cancel the ticket however, if this went to court, you could introduce the footage you have as evidence of intimidation by this resident purely on the grounds of not liking them and that it was a malicious act.

 

Then there is the signage or lack of in this case. The landmark case they are on about is a totally different scenario to yours so in my opinion, shouldn't make any difference.

 

Debt Recovery Plus (DR+) have no standing in this matter and can be safely ignored. The only time you should be concerned is if you receive a Letter Before Claim/Action or actual court papers.

In the first 3 months of this year UCPCM have taken 8 cases to court but I don't know the outcomes of these. They average around 1 in 1000 cases taken to court.

 

I would ignore them but make copies of all the texts, recordings and if you can get some witness statements (just in case)

If you are asked to deal with any matter via private message, PLEASE report it.

Everything I say is opinion only. If you are unsure on any comment made, you should see a qualified solicitor

Thanks for your reply Silverfox, very much appreciated

 

Ive got everything backed up incase it goes further and will keep my eyes out for anything more

 

I called DRP this morning and the guy on the phone was very nice,

let me explain everything to him and conversation went back and forth,

 

 

he agreed and could see the other car next to mine

then his reply was "well that's all good and well and I've listened to you, so now are you going to pay or what?"

 

 

I just said I'll call him back!

I assume they just want the money and he was being nice in the hope I'd pay

Calling them is as much use as indicators on a submarine, it merely encourages the little darlings, all he wanted was his commission from money you don't owe.

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!

So nothing came of this for a while until today.

 

I've received a letter from DRP saying unless I pay up £149 by 09/05 they will be recommending to the creditor that they start court proceedings

 

Their letter is headed "notice of intended court action - unpaid parking charge £149"

 

It has a lot of talk of what happens if I don't pay, how the creditor can apply more charges at court and go to their site to see all the court judgements they have won

 

Is it time I back down and pay up or can I still continue to contest this?

:lol: Pay what? You don't owe anything!

 

All you have there is a very lame attempt at extorting money out of you using some big words.

You will get a begging letter from Zenith next.

 

Read the feint small print on the bottom of that.

 

You are in the toothless debt collector letter chain, and will be invited to pay various amounts of money....

 

Make no contact with any debt collector. They can do nothing.

Hello everyone, thought I'd pop back with an update and not a happy one!

 

It seems ignoring this wasn't the best move as I now have a ccj against me for it!

 

I moved house and it seems they've sent several letters, solicitors paperwork and more to my old house (moved in sept 2016) and the judgement was made without me even knowing!

I changed the address on my v5 etc but apparently they only use the initial address when it comes to court etc

 

So it's just cost me £242, the judgement was made on 28th Feb so I've paid and have enough time for it to be removed but pretty gutted to say the least!

opps you should never move without informing 'creditors'

 

 

they saw you'd moved and purposefully issued the claim.

 

 

suppose its the cheapest way out..

 

 

you could set aside but that £255

you should have had your post forwarded. Once they got a letter returned they issued a summons knowing full well you wouldnt be getting it.

Shouldnt have paid up though, you have a fortnight to challenge and you would have been a day inside that time. You could have had the CCJ set aside and they would have probably discontinued once they knew the game was up.

I had my mail redirected for quite a while but thought I'd changed everything so cancelled the redirect

 

Lesson learned I guess and I'll be more careful in future, I'm in the process of getting a mortgage and buying my first home so last thing I need is a ccj on my credit file and risking anything going wrong with that

 

Thanks for the replies and help along the way though
