    • This is simply a scam site.  It's been shown to be a scam in the national press and on national TV. Please fill in the the forum sticky and upload the invoice you've received. In fact what you have is an invoice, not a fine, a private company doesn't have the power to issue fines.  
    • Moved to the Private Parking forum.
    • Good afternoon, I am writing because I am very frustrated. I received a parking fine from MET Parking Services Ltd , ( Southgate park Stansted CM24 1PY) . We stopped for a quick meal in Mcdonalds and were there fir around 30 mins. We always do this after flights and never received a parking fine before.  Reason: The vehicle left in Southgate car park without payment made for parking and the occupants southgate premises. they took some pictures of us leaving the car. i did not try and appeal it yet as I came across many forums that this is a scam and I should leave it. But I keep getting threatening letters.  Incident happened : 23/10/2023 I did contact Mcdonalds and they said this:  Joylyn (McDonald’s Customer Services) 5 Apr 2024, 12:05 BST Dear Laura, Thank you for contacting McDonald’s Customer Services. I’m sorry to hear that you have received a Parking Charge Notice following your visit to our Stansted restaurant.   We've introduced parking restrictions at some of our restaurants to make sure there are always parking spaces available for customers.   We appreciate that some visits such as birthday parties or large group visits might take longer and the parking restrictions aren't intended to stop this. If you think your stay will exceed the stated maximum parking time then please speak to a manager in advance.   Your number plate is scanned by our Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) system when you enter our car park, and then again when you leave. If you have overstayed the maximum time allowed, you will not be notified straight away- a Parking Charge Notice will be sent to you via the post.   If you feel that a Parking Charge Notice has been issued in error, please contact our approved contractors who issued the charge in order to appeal the charge. Unfortunately McDonald's are unable to revoke parking tickets- the outcome of the appeal is final and cannot be overturned by McDonald’s.   Many thanks for taking the time to contact McDonald’s Customer Services.   Can someone please help me out and suggest what I should do next?  Thank you 
    • Good Evening, I've got a fairly simple question but I'll provide some context incase needed. I've pursued a company that has operations in england despite them having no official office anywhere. I've managed to find a site they operate from and the papers there have been defended so I know they operate there. They've filed a defence which is honestly the worst defence ever, and despite being required to provide their witness evidence, they have not and have completely ignored the courts and my request for copies of it. I'm therefore considering applying to strike out their defence on the grounds the defence was rubbish and that they haven't provided any evidence for the trial. However, it has a trial date set for end of june, and a civil application wouldn't get heard until a week before then, so hardly worth it. However, my local court is very good at dealing with paper applications (i.e ones that don't need hearings, and frankly I think they are literally like 1-2 days from when you submit it to when a Judge sees it. I'm wondering if I can apply to strikeout a defence without a hearing OR whether a hearing is required for a strikeout application.   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.

Did you apply for it at Moneysupermaket .com ?

 

Does it contain both yours and the creditors full address at the time of inception ?

 

Does it contain your account number ?

 

All the above should be contained within the agreement...not on Barclays separate cover letter.

Sorry guys, I don't seem to be able to edit the original post so please see the one document here;

 

I don't recall if it was via moneysupermarket.com or not, although I'd suspect I used it to compare 0% balance transfers. The account number is not on the agreement, the only bit in the actual agreement that is redacted is;

 

In the introduction section it mentions "you". It says you, first inital surname, and my address.

Yes it must be embodied within the document that they profess to be a true copy of the original agreement...you wouldn't send a cheque to pay someone with a covering letter containing the sort number and account number:wink:

On a side note, if by chance further down the line they attempt to go pursue via the court, is there a generic response I should be ready to send?

 

The only reason I ask this is due to spending more and more time away with work my mail sits unopened for a couple of weeks at a time

If I were to receive a recorded letter my wife would potentially be home to sign for it so I assume it is from that point the clock starts ticking to file a response?

No...not applicable to Scotland....The initial process of the pre-action protocol still has to be followed, that is at the very least sending a letter before action setting out the amount owed, providing a timeframe for a response and advising that Court action will be taken.

 

Where did you sign this agreement ...in Scotland ?

As you're domiciled in Scotland (e.g. Scotland is your usual home) and entered into the contract as a consumer then the action will be incompetent, upon the grounds that the County Court does not have legal jurisdiction to hear the case.

 

You can only be sued in the Scottish Sheriff Court where you live. The authority for this statement is paragraph 3(4) of schedule 8 to the Civil Jurisdiction & Judgments Act 1982. Paragraph 3 .

 

Even if you have contractually agreed to allow the English courts to decide your dispute (known as 'prorogation of jurisdiction') it is clear that paragraph 3 is not subject to the 'prororgation' rule as set out in paragraph 6 of schedule 8. In other words the paragrpah 3 rule is a primary rule which takes precedence over all other rules in schedule 8 - it cannot be contracted out of (except in accordance with para 3(6) which is unlikely to apply).

Hi guys I was informed of the following elsewhere in regard to the CCA that I received from PRA Group;

 

 

It’s from 2016 so they can create a recon right enough but that recon must be accurate.

 

It’s not UE as you can’t use s.78(6) due to it being opened after 04/2007. Which is when the relevant laws changed.

 

What is everyone's thoughts on that? Is it inaccurate due to no account number and dates on the actual CCA thus making it unenforceable?

Answered that yourself Fernigan

 

" but that recon must be accurate."

 

" Is it inaccurate due to no account number and dates "

 

So not accurate...at the very least it should have an account number...otherwise it could be referring to anything ?

Morning folks,

 

Looking for to see if there is any advice or actions I need to take on the text message and letter I received from Barclaycard relating to a credit card debt that defaulted 2017 and was sold on to PRA. CCA'd and they provided a reconstituted document which was deemed bog roll.

 

Text message from Barclaycard:

Thanks in advance.

Hi Fernigan,

 

Better to let this lie for now IMHO.

 

Could be just a ruse to get you to engage with them but nothing has changed since the advice above.
