    • 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.

We'd like to spend about£300 on some law books. We will probably need more later.

 

It would be helpful if people thought that they might like to chip in.

We have no accounts and no way of showing that the money is correctly spent.

It seems that the best way would be if anyone who is interested might like to purchase and send us an Amazon Gift certificate to [email protected]

 

These start at £5.00, I'm afraid and need a credit card - so that might cause a problem for some people on this site, unfortunately.

 

here's the link

http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/gc-email-order1/ref=g_gc_email/202-2538737-6912639

 

If anyone has any criticism of this request, please let us know publicly on this thread.

We aren't very happy to be asking in this way but we don't have any other ideas.

Any contributions will be thanked privately and we will post when and if the certificates amount to £300. We will post Amazon receipts so that people can see what has been bought.

 

Thanks

there you go, youre 10 quid richer. can you tell us how much you end up getting? also you should set up a wish list so we can buy the books for you - its a bit more trustworthy.

 

I'll second that. Not because of the trustworthy part, but because s/one might be able to get hold of some 2nd hand (ebay, anyone? :lol: ).

 

I got specialist books on autism & out of prints on ebay that would have cost me a fortune through regular channels.

also it would be nice to see just what youre buying with what we're giving you.

 

As I said in an earlier post, we would put up the Amazon receipts for what has been brought.

 

However, I can tell you that so far the list includes

Civil procedure handbook 2005 - pub Oxford - about £35

Civil Procedure Loughlin & Gerils - pub Cavendish - about £35

Toulson on Confidence about £135 new edition. - this especially

other contract, banking law, trusts books not identified yet.

Book of forms and precedents - not identified yet

 

Also, possible subscription to Lexis and or Lawtel at some time in the future but this is not on the present list

One problem with law book you have to buy the latest issue as new cases can change the law daily. So by using old books, you could be quoting a cases that has been over ruled.

you should look in second hand book shops, they have th ebig advantage of having other peoples notes in them too :)

 

In your dreams!

If you knew the time that this forum is taking you would understand that we don't have time to hunt around like that. I don't even have time at the moment to make claims against my own bank or one or two other companies which I have set my sights on.

 

I'm pleased that The Bank Action Group seems to be working but you had better believe that I am putting 100+ hours per week into it.

There is now a wish list at http://www.amazon.co.uk

wishlist is in the name of BankActionGroup

3 books in it at the moment

 

However as far as I can make out items in a wish lisy can only be bought in their entirety not by numerous individual contributions.

 

I don't think that it will work.

 

Gift certificates are the best way but if people rather not, or they don't trust it then just don't contribute. It's OK
