    • Hi welcome to the Forum.  If a PCN is sent out late ie after the 12th day of the alleged offence, the charge cannot then be transferred from the driver to the keeper.T he PCN is deemed to have arrived two days after dispatch so in your case, unless you can prove that Nexus sent the PCN several days after they claim you have very little chance of winning that argument. All is not lost since the majority of PCNs sent out are very poorly worded so that yet again the keeper is not liable to pay the charge, only the driver is now liable. If you post up the PCN, front and back we will be able to confirm whether it is compliant or not. Even if it is ok, there are lots of other reasons why it is not necessary to pay those rogues. 
    • Hi 1 Date of the infringement  arr 28/03/24 21:00, dep 29/03/24 01.27 2 Date on the NTK  08/04/2024 (Date of Issue) 3 Date received Monday 15/04/24 4 Does the NTK mention schedule 4 of The Protections of Freedoms Act 2012?  Yes 5 Is there any photographic evidence of the event? Yes 6 Have you appealed? [Y/N?] post up your appeal] No  7 Who is the parking company? GroupNexus 8. Where exactly [carpark name and town] Petrol Station Roadchef Tibshelf South DE55 5T 'operating in accordance with the BPA's Code of Practice' I received a Parking Charge letter to keeper on Monday 15/04/24, the 17th day after the alleged incident. My understanding is that this is outside the window for notifying. The issue date was 08/04/2024 which should have been in good time for it to have arrived within the notice period but in fact it actually arrived at lunchtime on the 15th. Do I have to prove when it arrived  (and if so how can I do that?) or is the onus on them to prove it was delivered in time? All I can find is that delivery is assumed to be on the second working day after issue which would have been Weds 10//04/24 but it was actually delivered 5 days later than that (thank you Royal Mail!). My husband was present when it arrived - is a family member witness considered sufficient proof?
    • lookinforinfo - many thanks for your reply. It would be very interesting to get the letter of discontinuance. The court receptionist said that the county court was in Gloucester 'today' so that makes me think that some days it is in Gloucester and some days its in Cheltenham, it was maybe changed by the courts and i was never informed, who knows if DCBL were or not. My costs were a gallon of petrol and £3.40 for parking. I certainly don't want to end up in court again that's for sure but never say never lol. Its utterly disgusting the way these crooks can legally treat motorists but that's the uk for you. I'm originally from Scotland so it's good that they are not enforceable there but they certainly still try to get money out of you. I have to admit i have lost count of the pcn's i have received in the last 2 yr and 4 months since coming to England for work, most of them stop bothering you on their own eventually, it was just this one that they took it all the way. Like i mentioned in my WS the the likes of Aldi and other companies can get them cancelled but Mcdonalds refused to help me despite me being a very good customer.   brassednecked - many thanks   honeybee - many thanks   nicky boy - many thanks    
    • Huh? This is nothing about paying just for what I use - I currently prefer the averaged monthly payment - else i wouldn't be in credit month after month - which I am comfortable with - else I wold simply request a part refund - which I  would have done if they hadn't reduced my monthly dd after the complaint I raised (handled slowly and rather badly) highlighted the errors in their systems (one of which they do seem to have fixed) Are you not aware DD is always potentially variable? ah well, look it up - but my deal is a supposed to average the payments over a year, and i dont expect them to change payments (up or down) without my informed agreement ESPECIALLY when I'm in credit over winter.   You are happy with your smart meter - jolly for you I dont want one, dont have to have one  - so wont   I have a box that tells me my electricity usage - was free donkeys years ago and shows me everything I need to know just like a smart meter but doesnt need a smart meter,  and i can manually set my charges - so as a side effect - would show me if the charges from the supplier were mismatched. Doesn't tell me if the meters actually calibrated correctly - but neither does your smart meter. That all relies on a label and the competence of the testers - and the competence of any remote fiddling with the settings. You seem happy with that - thats fine. I'm not.

    • 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.

Hello,

back at the end of 2008 I could no longer afford the mortgage on my french and spanish properties, I spoke to the bank but they did not want to help, I ended up handing the keys to both banks.

 

In March 2010 I had a few emails from the french bank asking if the local agent could market the house as they had a buyer,

 

 

this was all agreed and I didn't hear anything till January 2013 when a uk debt company asked me for full payment.

 

They sent me a full breakdown of costs and they had added 40000 euros in interest late payment fees, court costs etc.

 

I told them I didn't have the money or the assets to pay and that they should refer it back to the bank as they were irresponsible lending me the money when I hadn't sold the spanish property,

 

Forward to Jan 2014 the same uk debt company start chasing again, but I gave them the same answer as above.

 

Today nearly 3 years later they have sent me a letter to my home address stating they want full payment in 7 days or they will recover the money.

 

I never knew that they had opened proceedings against me,

but I was made aware that the french start repossession after 90 day, but the bank and the uk debt company are saying the house is still in my name.

 

They also sent me a contract to sign saying the house could be sold for €40,000 when I translated the document the house could have sold for €90,000 ????? they said it was a clerical error.

 

Original debt €117,000 Euros.

Total to date is €180,000 Euros .

 

Any advice would be very welcome.

Thank you for the quick response DX100UK

 

I have not made any payments since the end of 2008 and last corresponded with the bank in May 2010

- Then last emailed UK DCA in Feb 2014

 

I do agree with you that they are chancing their arm,

but wasn't sure how French law would apply over here,

 

 

someone said they can chase you for the full term of the mortgage???

 

The DCA is credit limits international

load of cobbreres

a DCA is not a bailiff

and they have no legal powers whatsoever

 

 

all they are trying to do is line their pockets with anything they can fleece from you.

 

 

if you read their letters properly

you'll see they don't say will anywhere

but use clever wording to make you think they are superman or something

when in all reality they have no more legal powers than you or I..

 

 

scan the stuff up to pdf if you like

lets have a laugh..

A French mortgage debt can be subject to a UK court claim. UK statute of limitations for mortgage debts is 12 years from the date the debt was realised, which might be when the house was sold. Don't know what French limitation period is for property debts.

 

But it won't be a DCA that takes such action. The French creditor, if they were definitely going to issue a UK court claim would get a UK Solicitors to write to you.

 

Ignore this DCA writing to you.

 

If you have property debts in France and Spain due to a defaulted mortgage, if you wanted information about what is happening, you should contact the mortgage company directly. If you have no other assets and limited income, then you should enquire about bankruptcy or whatever the process is in France. Given that the limitations period is for many years, most people don't want large debts hanging around and being threatened over years by debt collectors.

We could do with some help from you.

You don't want to send any response to the letter, as that will just encourage them to write to you again.

 

They won't send anyone that has any power. Some DCA's send a enquiry agent just to see who lives at the address and if so why they are not responding. If you are ever visited, never confirm any details. I doubt it will ever happen.

they'll never go away

as they think one more threat-o-gram might make you cave in.

 

 

as for doorsteppers..

I think you've been watching too much don't pay tv progs.

 

 

just remember

a DCA is NOT A BAILIFF

if you do get any dirty mac brigade at your door

then you call the police 101.

 

 

the only way to rig yourself of them is to totally ignore them!

Thanks guys,

I can honestly say that I haven't made contact with them regarding this letter today, I will take your advice and not make further contact,

 

The next attachment is the summary from the bank from 2010, they sent this via the DCA in 2013.

 

Point number 8 was the one that worried me as it translates to 'cost of proceeding'

This made me think that they had tried to go legal back in 2010 but my credit report is clean.

 

My wife has gone to bits over this and I don't know how to resolve it,

 

Cheers

If you had UK assets to go after, they would have already gone to UK Solicitors and gone to court by now.

 

Quite often with large mortgage debts, the mortgage companies don't think they will make any recovery.

 

If you have just lost property due to financial problems, it is very unlikely you will have money available to pay debts.

 

The mortgage companies have a type of contingency insurance anyway, so any debt chasing can be pretty half hearted.

 

If these properties have been sold at a big loss, i would have expected the mortgage company to have written to you with more details.

 

In France, i thought there was some process for registering such debts officially.

You would then have a decision to make, as to whether you file for insolvency in France.

 

In the unlikely event that you were ever subject to court action, then you will be served with court documents and you can obtain advice.

Back in 2010,

they tried to serve something to me but I was working away,

this was at my parents address,

but nothing relating to the mortgage has ever been registered on my credit file,

 

If I did have any assets in the U.K. but they were not registered to me but my wife, would this give cause to chase, also I have two young children

Your wifes assets could not be touched, unless she was on the French mortgage.

 

Being that we are now nearly in 2017,

i suspect that the mortgage company have given up and it has just gone to gutter debt collectors chancing their arm.

 

Does not seem like a DCA that would ever go beyond a few letters.

We could do with some help from you.

Have you googled the company chasing ?

 

Are they even properly registered with UK regulators to carry out any debt collection activities ?

 

Looks a bit iffy to me.

 

This Imed used to be involved in tourism services.

 

The website set up does not look like a professional company.
