    • I have had a secondary thought.  I borrowed £s from a completely separate entity 6y ago. It was personal and unsecured. I was going to repay upon sale of the property. But then repo and I couldn't.  Eventually they applied and got a charging order on the property.  Their lawyers wrote that if I didn't repay they may apply for an order for sale.  I'm not in control of the sale.  The lender won't agree to an order for sale.  The judge won't expedite it/ extract from trial.  Someone here on cag may or may not suggest I can apply for an order v the receiver?  But could I alternatively ask this separate entity with a c.o to carry out their threat and actually make an application to court for an order for sale v the receiver instead?
    • You left the PCN number showing, but no worries, I've redacted it. Euro Car parks are very well known to us.  I've just skimmed through the titles of the latest 100 cases we have with them (I gave up after 100) and, despite all their bluster and threats, in not one have they taken the Cagger to court. You stayed there for 2 hours &:45 minutes.  I'm guessing the limit is 2 hours and 30 minutes, right?  
    • If the claimant fails to draft directions the court can order a Case Management Hearing to set them but normally in Fast Track claims the claimant sets the directions...Unlike small claims track which are always set the court.
    • Not Evris offer, the court offers mediation service.   All claims proceed to hearing if mediation fails /not happen.   Why do you not wish to attend in person to stand your claim ?     Absolutely you must comply with the courts directions or your claim risks being struck out. Preparation for a hearing should happen irrespective of mediation.   https://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/topic/460613-suing-a-parcel-delivery-company-when-you-dont-have-a-direct-contract-with-them-–-third-party-rights-copy-of-judgment-available/#comment-5255007   Andy  
    • LPA.  (I'm fighting insolvency due to all the stuff that he and lender have done).  He appointed estate agents - (changed several times). Disclosure shows he was originally appointed for a specific reason (3m after repo) : using his powers as acting for leaseholder to serve notice on freeholders (to grab fh).  There was interest from 3 potential buyers. He chose one whose offer depended on a positive result of the notice.  Disc also shows he'd taken counsel advice - which was 'he'd fail'.  He'd simultaneously asked to resign as his job (of serving notice) was done and he'd found a buyer.  Lender asked him to stay on to assign notice to the buyer.  Notice failed, buyer didn't buy.  So receiver stayed.  There was 1 buyer who wanted to proceed w/o fh but receiver/ lender wasted 1y trying to get rid of them!  Disc shows why. But I didn't know why at the time. In later months Lender voiced getting rid of receiver. Various reasons - including cost.  But there's a contradiction/ irony: as I've seen an email (of 4y ago) which shows the receiver telling lender not to incur significant costs and to minimize receiver costs.    Yet lender then asked him to serve another notice - again counsel advice indicated 'he'd fail'.  And he did fail.  But wasted 3y trying and incurred huge legal costs - lender trying to pass on to me. Lender interfered - said wanted to do works.  Receiver should have said no.  But disc. shows he agreed to step aside to let them do the works - on proviso lender would discuss potential costs first (they didn't), works wouldn't take long (took 15m), and lender would hold interest (they didn't) (this last point is crucial for me now - as I need to know if I can argue that all interest beyond this point shouldnt be allowed?)   I need to check receiver witness statement in litigation with freeholders to see exactly what he said about 'his position'. But I remember it being along the lines of - 'if the works increased the value of the property he didn't have a problem'.  Lender/ receiver real problems started at this point. The cost of works and 4y passage of time has meant there is no real increase in value. Lender (or receiver) didn't get any permissions (statutory or fh) (and didn't tell me) and just bulldozed the property to an empty shell.  The freeholders served notice on me as leaseholder for breach of covenants (strict no alterations).  The Lender stepped in (acting for me) to issue notice for relief of forfeiture - not the receiver.  That wasted 2y of litigation (3y if inc the works) and incurred huge costs (both sides).  Lender's aim was to do the works that every potential buyer balked at due to the lease restrictions.  Lender and receiver knew couldn't do works w/o fh permission. Lender did them anyway; receiver allowed.  Receiver remained appointed.  I'm arguing lender interfered in receiver duties.  Receiver should have just sold property 4-5y ago w/o allowing any works.  Almost 3y since works finished the property remains unsold (>5y from repo). The property looks brand new - but it was great before.  The lender spent a ton of money - hoping that would facilitate a quick sale.  But the money they spent and the years they have wasted has meant they had to increase sale price.  It's now completely overpriced.  And - of course - the same issues that put buyers off (before works) still exist.   The receiver has tried for 2y to assert the works increased value. But he is relying on agents estimates - which have proved highly speculative. (Usual trick of an agent to give a high value to get the business - and then tell seller to reduce when no-one buys.). And of course lender continues to accrue interest (despite 4y ago receiver saying pause interest). Lender tried to persuade receiver to use specific agent. Disc shows this agent was best friends with the lender's main investor in the property.  Before works this agent had valued it low.  After works this agent suggested a value 70% higher!  The lender persuaded receiver to sack one agent and instead use this agent.  No offers. (Price way too high).   Research has uncovered that this main investor has since died.  I guess his investment is part of probate? And his family want it back?    Disc shows the sacked agent had actually received a high offer 1y ago.  Receiver rejected it.  (thus I don't know if the buyer would have ever proceeded). He was relying on the high speculative valuation the agents had given him to pitch for the business. The agents were in a catch-22.  The receiver sacked them. Disc shows there has been 0 interest ever since (inc via new agent requested by lender). I don't think lender or receiver want all this to come out in public domain via a trial.  It will ruin their reputations. If I can't get an order for sale with lender - can I apply separately against receiver?

    • 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.

If a debtor received a letter from the EA ASKING to pay with 7 days or they will recommend that the creditor takes other legal action against you. Does this mean

 

A. They are giving up trying to enforce?

B. They will return the debt to the OC

C. Do the fees (both) come off?

 

This is just a general question for no particular debt or reason it's just a question that is all....

 

Finally if the debt goes back to the OC can you then make an arrangement to pay with the OC without the compliance and enforcement fees attached (£75 + £235) which brings the debt total down by £310?

 

Or does the £75 fee stay payable? There are no figures involved or any name of an EA's company, it's so that I clearly understand this letter and what the consequences are of it! Why because I've just seen my 1st one and looking purely to understand.

If I have been of any help, please click on my star and leave a note to let me know, thank you.

It would seem from what you are saying that the letter that has been received is not a statutory notice (in other words, is not a Notice of Enforcement). It is likely to be an 'advisory' note that has been left at a debtors premises to advise that a visit has taken place and that if the amount stated is not paid that the creditor can take other 'legal action'.

 

The wording on these 'advisory notices' range from company to company. If such a notice has been left, it does not infer that the enforcement company are looking to give up on enforcing the debt. In most cases, the enforcement company will not look at returning any debts before a period of approx 3-4 months.

 

If an enforcement company are satisfied that they cannot obtain payment or 'take control' of the debtors goods, then they may voluntarily return the account back to the local authority.

 

If the enforcement company return the account, then the power to enforce the warrant/liability order ceases and accordingly, all bailiff fees are removed.

 

The difficulty with trying to make a payment proposal direct with the council is that in most cases, the debtor is unaware that the account has been returned. Instead, what normally happens is that if a debt is returned by enforcement company 'A', the local authority would merely start the procedure again by referring the account to enforcement company 'B'. The debtor would then receive a Notice of Enforcement (from enforcement company 'B') and a compliance fee of £75 will be applied.

It is other I'm hovering in the background and have said check to see if/when it's been returned to OC then quickly make an arrangement to pay directly and before its sent out again for enforcement.

 

It's mostly about the contents of the letter rather than the debt. As this debt is easy to dealt with once back with the OC.

This is what the letter says: redacted is in (brackets)

 

You have failed to the above (debt) in full, the next stage in the enforcement procedure is to formally report this to the (OC). At this time we are recommending that they take further legal action against you in accordance with the provisions of the Civil Procedure Rules (CPR), which will result in you occurring further costs and may also affect your future access to credit,

 

 

To avoid this course of action we are providing you with a final opportunity to pay the outstanding amount in full. You must respond to this notice within 7 days of this letter.

If you FAIL TO PAY THE FULL AMOUNT IN 7 DAYS from the date of this letter, you will be liable for any costs incurred for legal recovery of the outstanding amount.

 

 

It then goes on to say how you can pay and they have added a payment slip at the bottom. I have also added the bold in exactly the same places as they have.

 

 

 

 

Question:

 

I have also added bold, italics and underline and in blue on one point that I require information about as well. I already know that you do not have to speak to an EA or communicate with them, so why have they made this point if not required to do either. (a last threatogram?)

 

 

This is so that I may learn what can and cant be said/done for future use....

This 'letter' suggests the debt is a civil action and as such, it is difficult to comment without knowing the background.

Yes it is a letter from a debt collector, nothing to do with bailiffs , it is in the wrong section.

 

The CPR mentioned will be the letter before action protocol.

I have spoken to the debtor and been told I can now say this is about a PCN. Si it was in the correct forum to start with but wherever is fine with me.

 

 

The wording on the letter is accurate. I was asking what I did because of the conflicting information on the letter as well. (CPR)

This has been made difficult by the person that gave me this letter and I have spoken to them to allow me to post so here is the redacted letter for all to see.

 

 

Debtors name removed

EA company removed

 

 

Everything else is there for all to see.

 

Once again sorry for being short with you all! (PS: I hate this injury as it plays with my abilities) The hot weather plays havoc with my mind so I apologise if I am slightly short today, I have cooled down with ice cold drinks which help my poor brain. As the weather gets hotter it affects me more.

 

 

As you can now see why this letter is different to those I have already seen. I do not normally get this far with an EA. So this is a learning curve hence the reason of my thread. As you can see in the 1st paragraph the CPR is mentioned..

 

Would those following now please look at at this redacted PDF Thanks. Sorry to all but I am not always perfect at times due to sudden changes that affect me without my knowing. This I am working on with a little help...

This is a notice to owner Mm, no proceedings have yet been taken, so there are no bailiffs involved yet.

Bailiffs only become involved after the notice has been registered at the TEC and the payment period has passed.

That is when the authority gets permission from the TEC to issue a warrant.

Yes me niether. Ther was a spate a while back of parking companies sending similar demands out in order to kid the addressee into thinking it was an authority penalty charge rather than the less enforcesble parking variety.

In fact, DX it is a very common document indeed and is sent by a bailiff company. My personal opinion is that the thread should be in the bailiff discussion area of the forum.

I have contacted the OC (Parking company (PC)) just now, they said the debt was sent to the EA on 16/07/2015 if this makes any difference at all? The offence date was the 17/01/2015...

 

 

So from my understanding the warrant has just two months left. Or. IS this the date the case went to the TEC. (more learning) So far there has been 3 visits by the EA no entry gained, just notices/letters left that have been ignored or no one home.

 

 

Several calls from the EA to the debtor during the time the EA has had this debt..

 

 

 

 

No enforcement action has been done except the visits. Most of my questions have been with the debtor and PC which have been dealt with as and when they occurred easily dealt with.

 

 

But this is the 1st time I've seen this notice anyways.. Does this extra info help at all?
