    • hi dx, thanks for helping just re-reading everything this morning and I must have missed this one from uncle in his thread "What you should not do, is not contact the Banks and simply default on payments. "  are you in disagreement with this based on your last sentence?
    • Thanks for the reply and clarification, that might just explain why in my case contact has pretty much ceased. Though with such companies it doesn't mean they won't ever threaten to return to court as a tool to force one's hand if they feel they are not self informed on their chances etc.  But concerning how last year they tried to use the CCJ to get a charging order and the court granted an intirum order on our mortgage using the CCJ that would have been a good 2-3 months beyond the 6 years, should the court not have checked the age of the CCJ in the first case or would they always grant an interim order simply off the back of a CCJ being produced without even checking the age of it?.  Had I not defended that action at the time they may well have got a default using a CCJ older than 6 years which could be a concern going forwards. At the time when I contacted the court to question the paperwork for a final order application the clerk suggested people don't get informed when companies apply for interim charging orders, they are automatic if a claimant has a CCJ and people only get contacted once a date for a final order application goes through. kind of begs the question if such companies can continue a seemingly backdoor method to attempt default action if un-defended if the initial application doesn't need to check the age of a CCJ?.
    • Hello!  Wondering if someone can help with this.  I suspect not but worth a go.  I appreciate the "contract is with the seller" line, which is what Evri has fed me but wanted to see if someone with experience in these things could suggest anything else I could do here.  I appreciate there are many topics about lost parcels - My parcels weren't lost, until the driver walked up to my door with them and then decided to make them lost/stolen... I'll summarise what has happened.  Wednesday of last week - Evri delivery driver stole / walked off with 3 of my parcels.  -  Arrived outside my properly, took photos (3 separate photos as its 3 separate deliveries) of the tops of the parcels (pointlessly zoomed in on just the labels, couldn't see anything else, other than a small piece of the pavement and a little weed, which doubly confirms it was outside my door as I can see the same plant), marked the order as delivered and walked off with them.  He's marked on the Evri GPS marked that he was outside.   -  3 different deliveries, from the same company (same boxes etc.), but 3 separate tracking numbers. -  Went through the Evri bot which opened a case on each tracking number.  I then phoned them and left a voicemail explaining what had happened. -  24 hours later had a canned response asking me if the packages had turned up and to check around etc..  I responded explaining again what happened and that they've definitely been taken. -  4 days later,  this morning, I get a response telling me to ask the merchant to refund me. I've responded to this message with a long email, repeating what I said, that I believe the driver has stolen these packages and that he took those suspicious top down shots of the packages, marked them as delivered without ringing or knocking etc.  I've said that I expect them to investigate further, but I gather they won't. In my several messages to them initially and later, I told them I don't care about a refund and wanted the parcels.  They contain some sentimental stuff, nothing of high monetary value, hence me going to this trouble.  I only paid £25 for the contents. I did contact the merchant when this first happened and they asked me to wait a few days.  They ended up refunding me despite me asking them not to and that I wanted them to escalate it with Evri because this appears to be a case of theft.  They didn't seem bothered - Refunded me and told me to go back to Evri and escalate it with them? So - Is there any way to compel Evri to conduct a proper investigation with this driver?  Search for my parcels? I have quite a lot of deliveries handled by Evri (not out of choice) - They used to have a fantastic chap and I rarely had any issues.  He has been replaced by a new guy and I believe the route is handled by this same guy who I believe has taken my packages.  Naturally, I fear this is going to happen again in the future if no investigation occurs. Appreciate any assistance - Thanks for reading. Al.

    • 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.

Hi

Really don't know what to do,

 

I have recently had two letters threatening court action and bailiffs due to a parking charge

 

Unfortunately these letters have been going to my neighbour who has sent a lot back saying return to sender so don't have the date or whereabouts that this incident happened, meanwhile the fine has escalated.

 

I was puzzled why the letters were going to my neighbour

 

I phoned the dvla to check my records

who then informed me it had the wrong door number on their data.

The information is being updated now

 

this is also strange as earlier in the year I had correspondence from the dvla with the correct door number.

 

The parking company is ica registered,

 

please can someone help.

DCA's view debtors as suckers, marks and mugs

NO DCA has ANY legal powers whatsoever on ANY debt no matter what it's Type

and they

are NOT and can NEVER  be BAILIFFS. even if a debt has been to court..

Hi

It's the IPC, not the ICA. This company is very small but the owner has a relative who owns ES Parking so he will know all the tricks that the IPC use.

 

Don't expect a fair hearing at all. Check the ticket to see whether the PoFA2012 is mentioned (unlikely)

 

Ignore the threat of bailiffs. They can't send anyone. Keep every scrap of paperwork and do not ring them. Snail mail with free proof of postage is enough.

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

they cannot add anything

its all made to make you think its 'escalating'

 

I would expecft this far down the road

its dead now anyway.

 

its NOT A FINE

no bailiff will ever be involved

 

its a private parking speculative invoice

claiming you broke some kind of imaginary contract when you entered the car park on private land and parked your car.

 

nothing to have sleepless nights over

they are totally powerless

just like the DCA's that will write soon

please don't hit Quote...just type we know what we said earlier..

Really, sit back, relax. You have absolutely nothing to worry about.

 

Them saying that they'll add more money on if you don't pay is absolutely meaningless. Any debt collectors are completely powerless to do anything other than send you increasingly desperate and threatening letters. They're banking on the fact that you'll be intimidated and hand over your cash to make them stop.

 

Once you're aware of their tricks (all of them dirty) you come to realise that the demands & threats are worthless and the worry goes away.

 

The only time that you can be made to pay up is IF they take you to court and IF they win. Neither are certain! And only then, if you lost at court and refused to pay, could they even hope to instruct any kind of bailiff to come and knock on your door.

 

Anything else is just smoke & mirrors to make you contribute to their Christmas party.

Please note that my posts are my opinion only and should not be taken as any kind of legal advice.
In fact, they're probably just waffling and can be quite safely and completely ignored as you wish.

1.dont panic

2 tell us about where you were supposedly parked to breach their contract and when the event(s) occurred. The paprwork you have should help you with this.

3 tell us exactry what letters you HAVE got and who are they from, they certainly wont be from a bailiff. as already said, dca's cabt legally add a penny to the debt but that doesnt stop them hoping you dnt know this.

With most of the private parking companies, especially the smaller outfits, it's a numbers game.

 

For every 100 invoices/tickets/charges (call them what you will) they issue, 99 will pay up eventually. This means that they make a fortune for doing very little.

 

So let's say that they issue 10,000 tickets in a year. 100 of those won't get paid. So the PPC will decide to make an example of some of them and, let's say, take 10 people to county court. Which costs them a few quid, but it's small change now because they've already got the money from the 900 suckers that did pay.

 

So, of the 10 that they decide to take to court, 8 will cave in at this stage and pay up, which has now cost the poor punter even more as they're also paying the PPC's listing fee and "solicitors" costs (probably another £75) on top of the £160 (artificially inflated) price that the PPC are now saying you owe.

 

1 will try to defend but fail to do it properly or not turn up to court. Meaning that the PPC will win a 'default judgement' against them. They will have to pay the original cost of the notice £100, plus the artificial fees of debt collection £60, plus £25 listing fee, plus "solicitors" costs £50, plus hearing fee £55 if I remember rightly. So totalling some £290!

 

1 will defend fully and go to court. 9 times out of 10, despite what the PPC's, DCA's and tame solicitors will try to tell you, this 1 person will trounce them in an actual court. This would cost the defendant absolutely nothing but a little time. The PPC will end up picking up the tab for everything and may even end up owing the defendant money!

 

The PPC's have been spanked so many times, but, even if they ended up paying your mortgage off in damages/costs, they'd still be in profit because of the 99% of people that paid up no questions, or at least, paid up in the end.

 

It's all still just a numbers game.

Don't get me wrong. Their pet debt collectors will threaten all sorts of woes, they'll stop short (only just mind) of saying that they're going to come round and burn your house down if you don't pay up. :wink:

 

But the debt collectors can't do anything except write you nasty letters (I've got loads, I'm saving them up, the downstairs toilet needs wallpapering :lol:)

 

Only HX, via their tame solicitors (probably Gladstones or BW Legal) can threaten you with or take you to court, and even that is easy enough to deal with if & when the time comes.

 

It really is nothing to be worried about. You'll find an awful lot of people on these forums that are very happy to help you beat these bandits.

Hi

Its actually from Direct Collection Bailiffs ltd in regards to a county court judgement notice, they want us to get in touch to discuss payment. It also gives a court judgement ref number!!!

 

The letters are still going to my neighbour even though we recently rectified the log book with the dvla.

Ok. First thing to do is NOT panic. Second thing to do is scan the document up as a pdf so we can inspect it. Suitably redact it so no personal details are shown.

 

You need to do this as soon as possible and as a matter of some priority......

All the correspondence regarding this have gone to a neighbour who was sending them back to Royal mail, but then realised they were for me so sent all mail from then on to us.

 

We have had three in total so we don't know when this parking offence took place or where just that is was Hx Management who then instructed Gladstones who now have done this.

 

I never got a ticket

 

ok I will, i'm at work at the moment so will have a look tonight
