    • His financial situation isn’t great, and the landlord has made lots of things up. The things he’s put isn’t true at all. My friend did tell the full truth with incoming and outgoing, I helped him fill in his form and he checked bills etc. to make sure it was right. His wage is ok, but not as good as the landlord thinks it is,  and he doesn’t have anything spare. How much are they likely to take from him? Should he send any reply?  the letter just says to take the court letter with him. 
    • Hi welcome to the Forum.  If a PCN is sent out late ie after the 12th day of the alleged offence, the charge cannot then be transferred from the driver to the keeper.T he PCN is deemed to have arrived two days after dispatch so in your case, unless you can prove that Nexus sent the PCN several days after they claim you have very little chance of winning that argument. All is not lost since the majority of PCNs sent out are very poorly worded so that yet again the keeper is not liable to pay the charge, only the driver is now liable. If you post up the PCN, front and back we will be able to confirm whether it is compliant or not. Even if it is ok, there are lots of other reasons why it is not necessary to pay those rogues. 
    • Hi 1 Date of the infringement  arr 28/03/24 21:00, dep 29/03/24 01.27 2 Date on the NTK  08/04/2024 (Date of Issue) 3 Date received Monday 15/04/24 4 Does the NTK mention schedule 4 of The Protections of Freedoms Act 2012?  Yes 5 Is there any photographic evidence of the event? Yes 6 Have you appealed? [Y/N?] post up your appeal] No  7 Who is the parking company? GroupNexus 8. Where exactly [carpark name and town] Petrol Station Roadchef Tibshelf South DE55 5T 'operating in accordance with the BPA's Code of Practice' I received a Parking Charge letter to keeper on Monday 15/04/24, the 17th day after the alleged incident. My understanding is that this is outside the window for notifying. The issue date was 08/04/2024 which should have been in good time for it to have arrived within the notice period but in fact it actually arrived at lunchtime on the 15th. Do I have to prove when it arrived  (and if so how can I do that?) or is the onus on them to prove it was delivered in time? All I can find is that delivery is assumed to be on the second working day after issue which would have been Weds 10//04/24 but it was actually delivered 5 days later than that (thank you Royal Mail!). My husband was present when it arrived - is a family member witness considered sufficient proof?
    • lookinforinfo - many thanks for your reply. It would be very interesting to get the letter of discontinuance. The court receptionist said that the county court was in Gloucester 'today' so that makes me think that some days it is in Gloucester and some days its in Cheltenham, it was maybe changed by the courts and i was never informed, who knows if DCBL were or not. My costs were a gallon of petrol and £3.40 for parking. I certainly don't want to end up in court again that's for sure but never say never lol. Its utterly disgusting the way these crooks can legally treat motorists but that's the uk for you. I'm originally from Scotland so it's good that they are not enforceable there but they certainly still try to get money out of you. I have to admit i have lost count of the pcn's i have received in the last 2 yr and 4 months since coming to England for work, most of them stop bothering you on their own eventually, it was just this one that they took it all the way. Like i mentioned in my WS the the likes of Aldi and other companies can get them cancelled but Mcdonalds refused to help me despite me being a very good customer.   brassednecked - many thanks   honeybee - many thanks   nicky boy - 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.

Hi all,

 

ive noticed a lot of communication regarding gym cancellations and DCA’s.

 

i joined a gym in July 2019. Didn’t like how busy it was, or the fact that staff pressured you to get off equipment! I spoke with them with 14 days of joining and said I’d like to cancel - which I have every right to do.they said they’d sort it.

 

cancelled my DD
 

now just had an email from CRS, demanding I pay £435.  £115 of which is their fee! 
 

I’m about to send a letter to say that I was within my legal time to cancel. 
 

any advice? Should I add anymore?

 

feeling very anxious about this. Can they actually do anything? I know you say they can’t - but it’s still a worry!

 

thanks!

Hi Tp and welcome to CAG

 

1. Can you tell us what gym this is about.

 

2. Did you sign up to the gym on their premises or elsewhere.

 

3. When you told staff at the gym of your dissatisfaction, what did they say to you.

We could do with some help from you

Hi TP,

 

The good news is - You don't have to prove anything !

 

You've already explained your position to Harlands and need not do or say any more.

 

Just ignore them.

Hello again,

 

just received this:

 

‘We would still like to reach an amicable resolution to this, however, if you fail to respond to this letter, we will have no option but to commence further action to recover the monies owed. The options available to us are:
1. LEGAL ACTION
We believe you are in breach of a legally binding contract with Gym Etc because you have not paid your membership and our fees. We may pursue a claim under this contract through the Courts. If we do so the following process would apply:
1. We will write a formal letter explaining what we are demanding and give you a final opportunity to pay/reply;
2. If this failed to settle the matter we would issue proceedings against you in the County Court;
3. Youcouldtheneither:
a. make payment, ending the legal process, or
b. dispute some, or all, of the amount was owed.
4. If you dispute the amount was owed the Court process would continue, at the end of which
the Court would make a decision on our claim.
5. A strict Court imposed timescale will apply in relation to the Court process.
Were we to be successful in our claim, or if you ignore the claim, a County Court Judgment (CCJ) may be registered against you requiring you to make payment. You may also be liable for our costs of pursuing legal action and interest on the amount owed.
If you then fail to pay the amount covered by the CCJ we would take the next steps required to enforce the judgment. To do this we would have to make an application to Court.
2. OUTSOURCE TO EXTERNAL AGENTS
Your account would be passed to another Collection Agency who will take further action to recover the monies owed.‘

 

anything in it?

 

thanks

How funny that Harlands/CRS take 14 lines to set out Option 1 that they haven't used in many years ........

 

....... and just 1 line to tell you what they'll REALLY do !

 

Safe to ignore 😂 😂

Had another lovely letter last night at 9.30pm saying:

(Why do they send them at night??)


We must therefore give notice that failing to reply to this letter within the next 10 days will result in your account balance being passed to Zinc Group Ltd, one of the UK's leading providers of debt recovery solutions.
WE WOULD STILL LIKE TO RESOLVE THIS MATTER
We're still happy to listen to your reasons for not paying and will do whatever we can to reach an acceptable resolution for both parties. All that is required is for you to call us on 01444 449 165 by no later than 17th January 20 so we can discuss your account further.

 

still good to ignore?

Hi Tp,

 

We don't hear much about contact from Zinc recently but you can ignore them completely too.

 

They'll just pass the case back to Harlands/CRS

EOS solutions uk 

2 birch wood office park

theyve basically said here are your options:

 

1. our client (CRS) would like you to pay back the balance in full as your original gym membership payment terms have now been cancelled.

 

2. If financial circumstances wont allow you to pay in full, then we would like you to talk to us about an affordable repayment plan

 

and

3. you should seek independent advice from someone 


not exactly ‘options’...

 

also says on the back ‘what if I ignore this letter’

if you don’t not contact us to discuss this then we will have no option but to refer this matter back to our client and recommend further collection activity...

 

not sure what further activity that could be?

 

thanks again

Harlands/CRS have used Zinc until recently when CRS fail to get a response but they did nothing when ignored.

 

So I guess Harlands/CRS are trying EOS now - ignore but keep us posted.
