    • The argument about the date of receipt is now dead because the PCN  does not comply with the wording  of the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012 Schedule 4.  First reason Section 9 [2] [e]  "state that the creditor does not know both the name of the driver and a current address for service for the driver and invite the keeper—(i)to pay the unpaid parking charges;" Second Reason Section 9 [2][a] "specify the vehicle, the relevant land on which it was parked and the period of parking to which the notice relates;" All your PCN does is mark the time you entered and left the car park. It does not include all the myriad things you do in between-driving into the car park, looking for a parking space-perhaps a disabled space or  parent and Child place@ getting the children or disabled person out of the car then going shopping. Coming back; loading the car with shopping [, getting the children or disabled into the car, taking the trolley back to the store; driving to the exit perhaps stopping to let vehicles/pedestrians cross in front of you etc. so subtracting the driving times from before and after parking can make quite a difference from their time to the actual period parking time. So the upshot is now that only the driver is responsible for paying the PCN and the keeper is not liable at all even if the name of the driver is never known by Nexus so well done for not appealing. You obviously want to keep it that way to make it very difficult for them to win in Court if it ever goes that far. Although your question is now moot since  the same objective has been achieved by the non compliant PCN [ie no keeper liability] just  about the only way to dispute the timing of the PCN would be if one kept the envelope and there was a discernible date stamp on it that did not match the date on the PCN. There is a new Act coming out [and it cannot come quickly enough ] and one of the things required is that parking companies will have to prove the date of sending out their PCNs. We are not the only ones who sometimes doubt the veracity of their dates particularly as the later it is sent [unlawfully] the shorter the period motorists have to benefit [?] from the reduced payment. I haven't seen it on your posts but do you know how long you are permitted to park for free?
    • I was so annoyed and frustrated about the fact this case was lost it's been floating around my head all night. Dave962, are you sure that's what the Judge said? .... It doesn't make sense. Did the judge in fact dismiss the case on the grounds that the defendant did not make an appeal within 28 days? Effectively telling the PPC about the error entering the registration number and providing proof of payment at that time? To me, that's an important point.

    • 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.

Appreciate the feedback.

The 48 hours they gave before taking legal action ended on Saturday and I was expecting an email today but I didn't get one.

Maybe tomorrow... 

 

This is the main worry in my life right now above everything and I dont think it's just going to disappear.

What happens when CLI don't get any responses from me...

What will Enagic do?

what part of they cant do anything are you failing to understand?

 

BLOCK and bounce their/all email addresses

it is NOT a recognised mode of communication concerning legal issues

let alone for a foreign debt.

let alone from a dca THAT IS NOT A BAILIFF

No DCA ever can be.

let alone are NOT even registered in this country with the appropriate authorities in the UK.

stop worrying and take the advice dx100uk is giving you, don't let it take over your life

 

when i first started to get emails i was worried too until i read the advice off this forum and did a little checking up on CLI, now i honestly don't think about it, they threatened me with a doorstep visit

 

it never happened

im not so worried about CLI now but I am worried about the debt itself and Enagic (the company who are trying to get the money off me and who i actually owe the money to). 

 

I know that they cant do anything but threaten etc but what happens to the debt now?

What happens when I ignore them?

will Enagic take it further themselves?

Will they give up? 

this is what i am worried about deep down as I can't imagine this sort of thing just "goes away"... 

 

Thank you for reassuring me about CLI.

I'm not really worried about CLI themselves to be honest,

im more concerned about the actual debt itself and Enagic who I owe the money to.

 

Will they take things further after CLI have had no joy?

 

I just don't want to think im all clear and not to worry about anything and get on with my life, for a letter from a solicitor / Enagic themselves  in 6 months time. THIS is what I am worried about primarily.

 

CLI can email me all they like but I just dont want to assume nothing will happen to this debt now if there's a chance I could end up in court one way or another. 

 

Sorry if it sounds like im ignoring what you're saying, trust me, i am not.

 

Your advice has been priceless and I am deeply grateful for your help because without your help and this website I would honestly be going out of my mind with worry. 

thank you again.

  • 2 weeks later...

 

So all has gone quiet from CLI. No emails in over a week after the last and final reminder... Im guessing they have now told Enagic that they've not been able to recover the money. 

 

Now what happens?

I'm worried about getting a court letter through the post from Enagic / solicitors.

Agree, move on with your life.

 

However, If you do move address, it may be worth sending a letter or email to any companies you have had dealings with including Enagic, just confirming your new address.  This is to ensure you receive any future communications, to avoid any company using your old address, to gain any Court judgement by default, as you could not defend.

We could do with some help from you.

Won't that make it easier for them to take me to court? 

 

I've not heard anything at all since that last email but I'm guessing now that means CLI have informed Enagic that they were unable to retrieve the money and now Enagic could be preparing to take it further? Or they might leave it?

No. 

 

Are you one of these people who just move addess and don't bother advising your new address ?  I have known people like this and they tend to be the ones who always seem to have problems.

 

CLI were a cheap option for Enagic, aa CLI just provide standard letters to chase for debts.

 

Up to Enagic what they do next.  Just make sure you can receive their communications, that you read them and if you ever receive a Solicitors letter or Court claim, that you seek further advice.

  • 11 months later...

Hello all, 

 

Today I received a final notice letter from Insurance Collections Bureau. 

 

In 2016 I joined a company called Enagic, i was supposed to pay £200 for two machines, but I cancelled my direct debit a month later as I felt I was massively conned into it and my whole financial situation turned upside down. 

 

I had no communication from them whatsoever and last August (2019) I received emails from ICB claiming they were going to visit me and that they'd take further action. But after posting on here I was told they can't do anything so I ignored them. 

 

Fast forward to now and I received a letter in September from them saying the same thing initially that I had to pay the debt owed to Enagic which amounts to just shy of £2000. 

 

I ignored the letters but was slightly concerned that they managed to find my address. They sent another letter today saying they would take further action if I don't reply within 7 days to pay or set up a payment plan. 

 

This decision to join Enagic cost me thousands in FB Ads I was duped into paying for as well as having to sell my car and pay off a payday loan for years. This was certainly the worst financial decision of my life and it haunts me to this day. I just got laid off at my job thanks to the pandemic so I am looking for work and I have absolutely no idea what to do. 

 

Can ICB do anything? This initially started in March 2016 and I stopped paying shortly after. I have heard absolutely nothing from Enagic themselves, only ICB who clearly failed to intimidate me last August and September, I was wondering why only 12 months later are they trying again but this time writing to me not just via email. In their letter today they said they know I live at my address. 

 

What shall I do?

 

 

Thank you so much in advance for your help. 

 

Tarm.

Thank you Dx, 

 

Although this time they are threatening with written correspondence. Not just email. 

 

Also I am worried that Enagic will take me to court.

I know DCAs can't do anything but it surely doesn't just end there?

 

I will be receiving another letter soon, what should I do if it is a court letter?

I know CLI threatened before but that was only via email but now they are writing to me and confirming that they know I live there.

 

I just want a bit more in depth advise if possible other than to simply ignore as now they are writing rather than email.

Does this change anything?

What happens to the debt? 

 

Just to add also, isn't it strange how in September 2019 they start threatening, and then through October.

Then it goes quiet for 12 months and now the letters start in September 2020 and though to October?

 

Is there some kind of pattern with these companies?

Also I wonder if Covid has any restrictions on these companies? 

 

I am just worried as a whole, Ive always suffered with anxiety especially around money.

Ive never been threatened to have action taken against me before and I suffer with anxiety so it worries me.

 

So even with the written correspondence, I have absolutely nothing to be concerned about?

Nothing at all?

Can you honestly say that nothing further will happen?

The letter says that they have advised the client (Enagic) that I haven't responded and further action can be taken, and that I have 7 days to get in touch to prevent further action being taken.

 

To me this says they are going to threaten me some more and there is a possibility it will be taken further?

Now they have actually written to me rather than just emails which weren't a proper form of communication.
