    • Will get them done asap My job changes week to week so at the time I didn’t know. 
    • You will probably get a couple more reminders followed by further demands fro unregulated debt collectors with even increasing amounts to pay. They are all designed to scare you into paying.  Don't. It's a scam site and they do not know who was driving and they know the keeper is not liable to pay the PCN. Also the shop was closed so they have no legitimate interest in keeping the car park clear. So to charge £100 is a penalty as there is no legitimate interest which means that the case would be thrown out if it went to Court.  Keep your money in your wallet and be prepared to ignore all their letters and threats. Doubtful they would go to Court since a lot more people would not pay when they heard  MET lost in Court. However they may just send you a Letter of Claim to test your resolve.  If yoy get one of those, come back to us and we will advise a snotty letter to send them.  You probably already have, but take a look through some of our past Met PCNs to see how they are doing.
    • Hello, been a while since I posted on here, really hoping for the same support an advice I received last time :-) Long, long story for us, but basically through bad choices, bad luck and bad advice ended up in an IVA in 2016. The accounts involved all defaulted, to be expected. In 2018, I got contacted by an 'independent advisor' advising me that I shouldn't be in an IVA, that it wasn't the solution for our circumstances and that they would guide us through the process of leaving the IVA and finding a better solution. I feel very stupid for taking this persons advice, and feel they prey on vulnerable people for their own financial gain (it ended with us paying our IVA monthly contribution to them)-long and short of it our IVA failed in 2018. At the same time the IVA failed we also had our shared ownership property voluntarily repossessed (to say this was an incredibly stressful time would be an understatement!) When we moved to our new (rented) property in August 2018, I was aware that creditors would start contacting us from the IVA failure. I got advice from another help website and started sending off SARs and CCAs request letters. I was advised not to bury my head and update our address etc and tackle each company as they came along. Initially there was quite a lot of correspondence, and I still get a daily missed call from PRA group (and the occasional letter from them), but not much else. However, yesterday i had a letter through from Lowell (and one from Capital One) advising that they had bought my debt and would like to speak with me regarding the account. There will be several.of these through our door i suspect, as we did have several accounts with Capital One. Capital One have written to us with regular statements over the last 5 years, and my last communication with them was to advise of of our new address (June 2019), I also note that all of these accounts received a small payment in Jan2019 (i'm assuming the funds from the failed IVA pot). Really sorry for the long long post, but just thought id give (some of) the background for context.... I guess my question at the moment is.....how do I respond to Lowell...do I wait for the inevitable other letters to arrive then deal with them all together or individually...? Do I send them a CCA?  Many thanks

    • 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.

I have a number of accounts that I am paying back on an agreed debtmanagement plan, one being a credit card with HSBC.

 

The dilema I am in is that all the other companies have changed the status of my account on experian to Special Instruction Indicator: Arrangement and I have been paying them upto date for over a year now. All this is showing a green symbol.

 

In trying to rebuild my credit rating and finances etc HSBC Credit Card have not changed this, yet they accept my payment of £x.xx per month and have frozen the interest (although it it with MCS) This still shows as a red symbol

 

Is there anyway I can get them to alter this to relfect I am on an agreement and that I have kept up with monthly payment?

 

The arguement they came back with before was that they wanted more than triple what I offered to and am currently paying and therefore did not accept the agreement?? Yet they have settled for a reduced amount and have done so for some time

 

Any thoughts please?

The first step has to be asking again.

It sounds as if it's sometime since you have been paying regularly, so they might say yes.

Send a copy of your file showing all the other companies status - it might shame them into following suit.

 

If they say no, you've lost nothing more and to be honest I think you'd be struggling to challenge them by any more formal means.

 

 

Credit reference files are notoriously difficult to challenge.

Following advice from a forum member to another post I sent a CCA request to HSBC in December 2009.

I first got a letter back saying they were dealing with it.

22days after my original request I got a package delivered with loads of information.

 

The covering letter,

which I dont have a copy to hand,

starts by saying they dont have to provide a signed copy of my document or original terms and conditions under current law

but they attached updated copies of the CCA and random information all stamped and signed, poorly, on each page.

My original agreement was from 1996.

 

The letter goes on to say that the CCA is still enforceable even without a copy of the signature.

 

What would be my best move next?

I am trying to prove my current CCA is not viable and therefore stop them trying to take me to court every month even though I am on a debt management plan

I have today received a letter from HSBC saying that my credit card account debt has been sold to Cabot as of July 2017 and I should arrange to continue to pay them not HSBC and HSBC will not correspond with me anymore.

 

This relates to a credit card that defaulted in 2011 and I have been paying them back an agreed sum of money each month and always maintained payments.

 

Having had run ins before with other collection companies I wonder if anyone could help with my concerns?

 

- My payment agreement is with HSBC and now Cabot now seem to want way more than I can physically afford and say that I need to complete a financial assessment to make a new plan otherwise they will take action

- The sums of money Cabot seem to reference seems excessive compared to what I think I owe. Can I somehow check what the values are and if they include any fees etc

- In buying the debt how does this affect my credit file. HSBC has not been showing on my CRF since January 2017?

- Should have I been notified of the sale of my account beforehand?

 

The last time I had to deal with Marlin it really made me ill from worry and I do not want to go through this again

Yep. Sadly youve been fleeced for many years. The debt is wholly unenforceable. I can pretty much guarantee that, and youve been spoofed into paying when you didnt have to pay a single penny.

Any advice i give is my own and is based solely on personal experience. If in any doubt about a situation , please contact a certified legal representative or debt counsellor..

 

 

If my advice helps you, click the star icon at the bottom of my post and feel free to say thanks
