    • I can only speak from personal experience. But a similar thing happened to me. Seriously dented door.  I made the other insurance pay. They regarded it as a write off. Took the money, replaced the door. Never heard anything more about it.    Except clearly someone sold my details to claims company, because I got loads of calls in bad English for a few month's 
    • The incident was 03rd March 2024 - and that was the only letter that I have received from MET 15th April 2024 The charge I paid was at the Stansted Airport exit gate (No real relevance now - I thought this charge was for that!!).   Here is the content of email to them (Yes I know I said I was the driver !!!!) as said above -  I thought this charge was for that!! "Stansted Airport" Dear “To whom it may concern” My name is ??  PCN:  ?? Veh Reg: Date of Incident: 03rd March 2024 I have just received a parking charge final reminder letter, dated 10th April 2024 - for an overstay.  This is the first to my knowledge of any overstay. I am aware that I am out of the 28 days, I don’t mean to be rude, this feels like it is a scam My movements on this day in question are, I pulled into what looked like a service station on my way to pick my daughter and family up from Stansted airport. The reason for me pulling into this area was to use a toilet, so I found Starbucks, and when into there, after the above, I then purchased a coffee. After which I then continued with my journey to pick my daughter up. (however after I sent this email I remember that Starbucks was closed so I then I walked over to Macdonalds) There was no signs about parking or any tickets machines to explains about the parking rules. Once at Stansted, I entered and then paid on exit.  So Im not show where I overstayed my welcome.. With gratitude    
    • Just to enlarge on Dave's great rundown of your case under Penalty. In the oft quoted case often seen on PCNs,  viz PE v Beavis while to Judges said there was a case for claiming that £100 was a penalty, this was overruled in this case because PE had a legitimate interest in keeping the car park free for other motorists which outweighed the penalty. Here there is no legitimate interest since the premises were closed. Therefore the charge is a penalty and the case should be thrown out for that reason alone.   The Appeals dept need informing about what and what isn't a valid PCN. Dummies. You should also mention that you were unable to pay by Iphone as there was no internet connection and there was a long  queue to pay on a very busy day . There was no facility for us to pay from the time of our arrival only the time from when we paid at the machine so we felt that was a bit of a scam since we were not parked until we paid. On top of that we had two children to load and unload in the car which should be taken into account since Consideration periods and Grace periods are minimum time. If you weren't the driver and PoFA isn't compliant you are off scot free since only the driver is liable and they are saying it was you.

    • 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

just a quick question,

 

I'm completing the spreadsheet,

I've included

late payment fees,

arrears management fees etc,

 

should I also include

the dates of interest charged by them eg 05/10/2013 interest charged £233.29

& interest on fees?

 

sorry for the question but I want to get it right.

It looks like many fees have been posted to the capital. Its called capitalisation.This will probably apply to the arrears also and will be why the statement shows zero arrears.

It is also one of the reasons there is still so much left to pay.

Im in the process of sending the reclaim letter, and was thinking because of all what’s going on with the corona virus, was it the right time.

Then I have just received an email from Equifinance saying that they have not received my response to their letters, when will they hear from us.

I really can’t believe them, with all what’s going on, my husband is currently not able to work because of the situation and the government advising these people to be lenient in these extreme circumstances, and Equifinance are on my back.

you should already be aware of this from this thread and your otrher threads

you should never allow nor use nor give email/phone to anyone you owe money too.

pers i'd be sending one email stating that your email address xxxxx/phone number xxxx is not be use for anything t o do with our mutual dealings

writing only from now on.

 

it gives them an easy and free way for people that claim you owe them money to harass you in ways they would not put in writing.

 

as for the current situation worldwide, the gov't are already upon record as stating all creditors esp mortgages etc should show due forbearance toward debtors in the current climate

Hi

Can I ask for a little background.

When was the possession order made, and did you attend the hearing. Also did you receive a copy of the original agreement.

As Andy said earlier, this is a regulated loan and the agreement does have to comply with the CCA.

 

Also. if they have capitalised any arrears, that means added them to the amount originally credited, and are charging contractual interest , they cannot change their minds and call them arrears again.

Hi, I’m not sure when the Possession order was made,

I managed to borrow some money to pay them,

so the possession order was cancelled.

 

I will check for the original agreement  in the bundle they sent me when I sent a SAR.

 

They are saying that the agreement ended in August and therefore the total amount of arrears outstanding is £16k.

I previously posted all the charges they are saying.

Hi, hope everyone is well & safe.

 

After sending my spreadsheet to Equifinance on 23rd March,

I received a reply from them on 25th March acknowledging my letter of complaint and that they aim to respond within 8 weeks from that date.

 

Today out of the blue I have received an email letter of statement of arrears from 13/02/20 - 12/05/20,

 

they also state please see below

 

im confused as I haven’t heard from them since 25th March.

should I just ignore this?

 

3/02/2020 29/02/2020 29/02/2020 30/03/2020 30/03/2020 30/04/2020 30/04/2020
