    • just to be clear here..... the DVLA do not send letters if a drivers licence address differs from any car's V5C that shows the same driver as it's registered keeper.
    • sorry she is a private individual, the cars are parking on her land. she can clamp the cars. only firms were outlawed from doing it bazza. thats what the victims of people dumping cars on their drives near airports did and they didn't not get prosecuted.    
    • The DVLA keeps two records of you. One as a driver and one for your car. If they differ you might find out in around a month when they will send you a reminder as well as to your other half for their car. If you receive nothing then you can be fairly sure that you were tailgating though wouldn't explain why they didn't pick up your car on one of drive past their cameras. However even if you do get a PCN later then your situation will not change. The current PCN does not comply with the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012 Schedule 4 which is the main law that covers private parking. It doesn't comply for two reasons. 1. Section 9 [2][a] states  (2)The notice must— (a)specify the vehicle, the relevant land on which it was parked and the period of parking to which the notice relates; The PCN states 47 minutes which are the arrival and departure times not the time you were actually parked. if you subtract the time you took to drive from the entrance. look for a parking place  park in it perhaps having to manoeuvre a couple of times to fit within the lines and unload the children reloading the children getting seat belts on  driving to the exit stopping for cars pedestrians on the way you may well find that the actual time you were parked was quite likely to be around ten minutes over the required time.  Motorists are allowed a MINIMUM of ten minutes Grace period [something that the rogues in the parking industry conveniently forget-the word minimum] . So it could be that you did not overstay. 2] Sectio9 [2][f]  (ii)the creditor does not know both the name of the driver and a current address for service for the driver, the creditor will (if all the applicable conditions under this Schedule are met) have the right to recover from the keeper so much of that amount as remains unpaid; Your PCN does not include the words in brackets and in 2a the Act included the word "must". Another fail. What those failures mean is that MET cannot transfer the liability to pay the charge from the driver to the keeper. Only the driver is now liable which is why we recommend our members not to appeal. It is so easy to reveal who was driving by saying "when I parked the car" than "when the driver parked the car".  As long as they don't know who was driving they have little chance of winning in court. This is partly because Courts do not accept that the driver and the keeper are the same person. And because anyone with a valid motor insurance policy is able to drive your cars. It is a shame that you are too far away to get photos of the car park signage. It is often poor and quite often the parking rogues lose in Court on their poor signage alone. I hope hat you can now relax and not panic about the PCN. You will receive many letters from Met, their unregulated debt collectors and sixth rate solicitors threatening you with ever higher amounts of money. The poor dears have never read the Act which states quite clearly that the maximum sum that can be charged is the amount on the signs. The Act has only been in force for 12 years so it may take a  few more years for the penny to drop.  You can safely ignore everything they send you unless or until they send you a Letter of Claim. Just come back to us if they do send one of those love letters to you and we will advise on a snotty letter to send them. In the meantime go on and enjoy your life. Continue reading other threads and if you do get any worrying letters let us know. 
    • Hopefully the ANPR cameras didn't pick up the two vehicles, but I don't think you're out of the woods just yet. MET's "work" consists of sending out hundreds of these invoices every week so yours might be a few days behind your partner's. There is also the matter of Royal Mail.  I once sold two second-hand books to someone on eBay.  Weirdly the cost of sending them separately was less than the cost of sending them in one parcel.  So to save a few bob I sent them seperately.  One turned up the next day.  One arrived after four days.  They were  sent from the same post office at the same time! But let's hope I'm being too pessimistic. Please update us of any developments.

    • 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.

Im not cross at all lolo...but sometime particularly when you are dealing with such matters like this......less is always more..the more you escalate the deeper the hole gets and you cant get out of it.

There are only two things for you to do....send the statute barred letter to link..its for them to prove its not and that Dad made payments to them and acknowledged the debt.

If they can prove it and they write to you with evidence in your name as executor...you then send them a section 78 request (CCA).

Until a court claim is issued in your name as executor....forget all about this.

Thank you. Will do that.

 

Have just looked again at the letter I sent to the other DCA before they wrote off the debt (closed their file) and I haven't told any porkies or misled them so I can't get in trouble with that one either.

 

I did send a SB letter to stink in Dec (registered) and they ignored it then wrote directly to my deceased dad again.

I'll sit and wait and see what they do.

 

I'll also not touch any estate monies until this is resolved or I'll find myself perhaps in debt myself for not carrying out my duties properly.

 

Thank you for your patience.

 

IF they have written to my dad after 2009 (within the 5 years), can it be 'any' letter or does he have to had acknowledged it?

If there is a link to this answer, please do direct me so that you don't have to answer that one.

" IF they have written to my dad after 2009 (within the 5 years), can it be 'any' letter or does he have to had acknowledged it? "  :confused:

 

Its the other way round...your Dad had to write to them to acknowledge...its irrelevant what the DCA writes

I thought / believed that too re: he had to acknowledge/write but what is deeply concerning is that an FO has stated that all they need to do is 'show they have communicated with him.' OMG

I'll request the CA if and when they prove it's not statute barred :) FO said 'they have sent him one (a CA) and it "looks like it's right but it's the reconstituted one, which they are allowed and will stand in a court." "They will not necessarily have the original" he quoted. !!!!

Please could you post me in the right direction for your excellent Scottish SB request again. I will print and send recorded this week. I've been getting panic attacks from it- it's a disgrace and not what you want when your beloved dad dies and you are trying to work at the same time :(

On second thoughts I wouldn't bother sending the SB notice.....its making the hole a little deeper and you are in away bowing to them as some kind of creditor.

ok- won't send. I'll await and see what the FO gets back- they have already submitted comms to ask for evidence of SB.

 

If it comes back as 'this is our evidence'- if possible can I come back and ask you if what they provide is 'evidence'?

I will then close my comms with the FO.

Bit late to do that now so will wait.

please read carefully what people say,  you dont ahve to provide any evidence and they will lie to you to get some money that isnt due just to recover what they have wasted so far on a wild goose chase.

 

You cant resolve this by being reasonable and as already said, continuing to write to them makes them think you belive they have somehting to say when they dont.

Ignore them and then if they write again ignore them some more.  They will soon run out of steam and in the meanwhile there is another clock ticking away and that will kil stuff them.

just dont do anything or say anything and you wont get it wrong

Thanks everyone.

 

As the executor (now I am), I'm not allowed to ignore any person/company who alleges their is debt owed to them.

 

What I am to do is of course investigate it.

So that is of course what I am doing.

 

I have asked for evidence that it is not statute barred.

I will then need to ensure that the evidence ifs 'correct' and 'authentic' of course.

I might need some help with that as you are all so experienced in this.

Unlike me.

What do you mean you are not allowed to ignore them?

You have put the cart before the horse and throughout appear to be looking for reasons to fail rather than just accepting the advice.

 

They will not give you proof the debt is active, they dont have to.

If the debt IS SB it is still a debt ( assuming they can prove that) but just cannot be enforced which entitles you to not consider it when doing your duty as executor.

 

Now stop corresponding with them and the debt will die in 6 months anyway, even if they had a valid claim.

 

Dragging this out by your need for reassurance is only prolonging the inevitable, they aren't getting anything  because it isn't legally due to them.

 

you should have just told them it is SB and let them squeal or show proper evidence it isnt

Well according to Link

- the debt was not SB as my father paid an amount 2 months before it was assigned.

Waiting to see the evidence.

 

Has anyone known instances where they 'invent' a small payment made?

 

How do you check if they have just listed a payment and actually it was not made by the debtor?

 

I think I read somewhere that Link/others do this.

Share on other sites

oh yes Link are masters at creating phantom payments all the time

used to be their favourite trick.

 

incidentally if they are saying 'before assignment' - that means to the original creditor

a quick phonecall to them [the OC] will disprove this as they MUST hold data for atleast 6yrs under the 

prevention of fraud act 

and 

the Data protection act.

It's not up to you to check, it's up to them to show the evidence.

 

When my brother died and I was in your position all the various companies he owed money to as a matter of course always immediately sent proof of the debt.

 

Otherwise I could just read the obituary section of the local newspaper this week and send letters to all the deceased people's families saying the dead person owed me £500.

 

No way would they take you to court

   - it's not really their debt anyway

   - presumably MBNA sold the debt as they thought they had no hope of getting any money

   - the person who owed the money is dead

   - there are no assets

   - the debt is statue barred.

 

Ignore them & their shenanigans.

  • dx100uk changed the title to Link Financial chasing deceased parent MBNA debt at my address

even if a payment had been made they still have to prove HE made that payment.

A refund of some fee wont restart the clock nor will a well meaning relative sending a cheque to help things out, 2 things they like to try and tell you will when they know it is untrue.

the other common one is to allocate the £1 statutory fee for a CCA request towards the debt, again a no-no

thank you for your help still with this :)

 

Waiting to 'see' what apparent amount he 'apparently' paid. And indeed if it was him.

 

It looks like my father 'may' have signed a debt clinic letter in 2014 (think that is what it is called) involving an mbna debt and the ombudsman said that is perhaps evidence he has admitted to the debt and acknowledged it?

 

IF it turns out it cannot be classed as statute barred, how do I go about trying to get the amount owed (full and final settlement) decreased?

 

Has anyone had any success with making an offer with this hideous company 'Link'?

 

I'm assuming the fact the owner I worth millions that they do not accept a penny less?

This is the debt counsellor letter been sent to me.

It was signed by my father on May 2nd 2014 (I can see it's his signature supposedly and name printed) and on page 2 lists his outgoings etc.

 

Interestingly the date at the top of the letter is Sept of that year - 5 whole months later? 

My father supposedly took this card out in 2006.

 

MBNA told Link (waiting for evidence) that he last paid something in 2014.

My query is when he had died in 2018 - why had they not taken him to court? It's 4 years!

 

Please don't say ignore them - I'm executor for his estate and I have to make sure that it is enforceable or not enforceable before distributing monies to other creditors and beneficiaries.

 

There isn't a lot but I will be held liable if it is proven Link is owed that money.
