    • That explains it then. MET's fantasy is that it's a pay car park.  You're only let off paying if you are a Starbucks customer which you can't be when Starbucks is closed.  'Cos otherwise lots of people would abuse the car park facilities on the far edge of the Stansted Airport area in the middle of nowhere to ... admire the bushes?  Look at the cloudy sky? The important thing is that we have around 140 cases for this site, and MET have only tried court seven times.  Even then, they had no intention of getting as far as a hearing, they were attempting to intimidate the motorists into paying, when the Caggers defended the cases MET discontinued.
    • She's an only child and he as a brother and sister. He has no will and we have done a check on this to find out if he had left one and nothing has come up. He has savings of around 28k His sister and brother are well off so 28k is nothing to them and aren't interested in his money. This just leaves my wife/his daughter. Would this still need to go to probate there is no estate e.g house or business to sell and the amount left in his bank is just small? When his wife died they just closed her bank account and moved her money across to his account and we just assumed that once my wife has handed in the death certificate and shown evidence of who she is the same would apply to her? We don't know yet the council have only just written to us today with a guide of what to do next.  
    • Did your FiL leave a Will and if so who is the Executor? Strictly speaking banks could refuse to take instructions until Probate is granted but In practice I would expect the bank to take instructions to cancel the DD if the Executor presents the death certificate and a certified copy of the Will
    • Hi   Sorry I probably wasn't clear enough. He had lived in the flat until December 2022 with Dementia by this time it was unsafe for him to have capacity to live on his own and he had to move into a nursing home. We had left it too late to apply for power of attorney so approached a solicitor in March last year for Deputyship. We were still in the process of dealing with it by May 2024. He passed away a few weeks ago and the solicitor was contacted to halt the application and we will just pay the fees of what work he has done up until now. My wife was the named person on her dads bank account but we didn't have the ability to alter any direct debits hence the reasons for applying for Deputyship as we were having problems trying to stop some payments coming out of his account Eon being another difficult company. We kept his flat on from December 2022 - August 2023. it was at this point I contacted Sancutary housing to inform them he was no longer living in the flat, it had been cleared out and was ready for a new tenant and that he had Dementia and had moved into a nursing home December 2022 and explained the reasons why we kept it on. As the named person to speak on his behalf I asked them what proof they needed in order to give notice on the flat e.g proof of dementia and proof that he was living in a nursing home and anything else they wanted. The lady in the upstairs flat and some of the other residence in the street had asked about him and we had told them he had moved into a nursing home. The lady in the upstairs flat wanted his flat for medical reasons so asked us once we had given notice could be let her know and she'll ask them if she can have it. We explained the difficulties and it was left at that but I did tell her I would let her know once notice was given. I contacted the company by email a number of times and also telephone conversations and nobody followed it up and it wasn't till the end of February this year that the housing manager for the area wrote to our home address to ask about him that he had been to the flat a couple of times and nobody answered and he had asked some of the residence in the street and they hadn't seen him for sometime. There was an email address on the letter so I contacted him and copied in the last 2 emails I sent Sanctuary regarding me wanting to give notice on the flat for at least 9 months explaining that it went ignored as well as telephone calls. I also stated I wanted to have his rent payments returned from the date I wanted to give notice which was from August 2023 as the bank wouldn't let us stop the DD without POT or deputyship explaining we were in the process of Deputyship. He gave some excuse about not having POT to cancel on his behalf and spoke to someone in HR and said he would contact the nursing home to confirm he was there with Dementia and if it all checks out we can give notice on the flat which came to an end on the 22 March 2024. There was not mention of back payments for the rent already paid or the fact I had asked to give notice in August 2023. Despite someone living in the flat from 1st April they continue to take DD payments for the flat and have taken another 2 payments of £501. another concerning thing despite Eon not allowing us to cancel the DD to his account the lady upstairs informed Eon that she was moving into the flat February 2024 and Eon refunding the account to his bank and said in an email sorry you are leaving us and canceled his account. Something they wouldn't let us do but a stranger. She also changed her bank account to his address despite the fact notice hadn't been given on the flat yet. So we need to find out how much information Sanctuary actually had for her to tell her power company she was moving into the flat in February despite the housing manager only just getting in contact to find out where he was. So a complaint is going into Eon and Sanctuary and we are going to take advice and ask the bank to charge back the rent. My wife hasn't taken the death certificate to the bank yet to inform them of his passing.

    • 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.

Unfortunately, an offer of £10 would be refused. This is because the contract that the company have with the court gives them only a very limited time in which to enforce the debt.

 

The amout of £906 presumably includes bailiff fee of £310 (£75 Compliance fee and £235 Enforcement Fee). the amount of fine is therefore around £600.

 

Did you receive a summons?

 

Did you respond to the summons?

 

Did you enter a plea (guilty or not guilty)?

 

Did you complete the Means Statement attached to the summons?

 

Have you made any payments towards the fine?

 

 

I didn't received letter from court at my previous address,

 

They asked me to send Income and Expenditure Form I did,

than made £50PM payments for 2 months but than I couldn't afford

and the court sent it back to marston, now they are after me.

 

I can only afford about £10PM really or can stretch to £15PM

The matter of 'affordability' of repayments is a subject that I am actually writing a report on at this present time. Many people on a low income or on benefits genuinly cannot afford even £5 per month but with court fines it needs to be made clear that if a debtor is in receipt of state benefits, the regulations actually state that if an attachment against benefits is made that the mimimum amount of deduction is set at £5 PER WEEK. Magistrate Courts are unable therefore to permit repayments at a rate lower than this.

I am slightly confused by your above answer.

 

Are you saying that you did not receive any documenation about this at your previous address?

 

Who asked you to complete an Income & Expenditure?

 

Who did you make payments to?

I rang Magistrate Court after looking at my Credit Report

Magistrate Court said I have to pay these fines

I said I can't afford it, so they sent me Income & Expenditure Form

I filled in, and they said I gota pay £50PM, I paid for 2 months

than I couldn't afford, so they sent the debt back to Marston. so please

tell me what shall I do.

Do you have much in the way of possessions that Marstons could take to sell to pay the fine ? If you don't, you could invite them to where you are living for them to see for themselves. You may not want this, if you are staying with friends or family.

 

If you are on low income or benefits, the courts could arrange an attachment to your earnings, but i think you might struggle to get the court to deal with it, unless Marstons hand it back to them.

We could do with some help from you.

Hi I just received a letter from Marston its a Notice of Enforcement letter.

 

They have sent this letter on behalf of Courts & Tribunals Service. for the amount of £561.67

and I have to pay this by 08/06/2016 otherwise they will take a serious action against me,

and with there cost Inc the total amount I have to pay now is £636.67

 

Before I had this letter I was paying direct to Tribunal court directly with the payment card

but I ran into some financial difficulties and also with the family bereavement

I had to leave the country for 2 months

 

now Tribunal wont take this as an excuse and that charges which were about £250 gone upto £636.67,

I have tried speaking direct with Tribunal to arrange that payment method again

but they refused as they said I have no ground..

 

. please please help me I am already in so much stress right now,

I know its my fault but I am already paying the minimum payments to my other debtors

but I think its a disgrace paying £636.67 and not the original amount which is only about £250.

 

Please any help and information will be highly appreciated.

 

Regards

No this is an old fine,

 

 

I've started paying them off but because of financial difficulties and bereavement in the family

it was very difficult to make ends meet,

 

 

I forgot about it, when I remember to pay them again court said no they can't arrange a payment plan

again it has to be dealt with Marston and

 

 

now I receive this letter from Marston to pay that off in full.

hich is not possible with my current circumstances.

so where has the speeding fine come from?

anyway

people now have the complete history

I've merged the threads.

 

and will advise.

as mentioned here

and I see in the last time

I hope you are not wasting money paying those DCA's still?

they are not a priority

you need to use the money you pay them to pay these fines off.

 

its been going on far too long

no wonder you are getting charges

STOP PAYING THE DCA'S PAY THIS FINE OFF.

Yes it is the same fine I have written before

 

Reading back on your earlier posts it would seem that Marston Group attempted to enforce a warrant against you last year and failed.

 

They returned the debt back to the court and payment arrangements were set up. Bailiff fees would have been removed.

 

It would seem that you have again defaulted on paying the court and once again, a warrant has been sent to Marston Group.

 

When the account was sent back by Marston Group last year, did you contact the court to ask whether you could have your financial means reviewed?

 

What payment arrangement did the court agree with you?

 

How many payments have you missed?

Hi Thanks for the reply I really appreciate all your help guys,

 

well I have tried contacting court but they said the cant do anything have to contact marston,

 

I was in so much financial stress I was dreading calling them honestly, I

 

have tried to contact court and ask them to reconsider but they refused,

 

I need to sort this out asap as the deadline date is tomorrow.

 

I have missed 2 payments then they cancelled the payment plan.

 

court agreed on £50/PCM

 

Thanks

I am struggling here with the background to this fine.

 

Looking back at your thread, it would seem, (although I could be wrong) that you had a fine in 2013 and also in 2015 and now in 2016.

 

Is the fine that is being pursued today the same one that was being enforced in 2013?

I know it's probably very confusing but it's the same fine I had in 2013
