    • Yup, for goodness sake she needs to stop paying right now, DCA's are powerless, as .  Is it showing on their credit file? Best to use Check my file. All of the above advice is excellent, definitely SAR the loan company as soon as possible.
    • Hi all, I am wandering if this is appealable. It has already been through a challenge on the Islington website and the it was rejected. Basically there was a suspended bay sign on a post on Gee st which was obscured by a Pizza van. The suspension was for 3 bays outside 47 Gee st. I parked outside/between 47 & 55 Gee st. I paid via the phone system using a sign a few meters away from my car. When I got back to the car there was a PCN stuck to the windscreen which I had to dry out before I could read it due to rain getting into the plastic sticky holder.  I then appealed using the Islington website which was then rejected the next day. I have attached a pdf of images that I took and also which the parking officer took. There are two spaces in front of the van, one of which had a generator on it the other was a disabled space. I would count those as 3 bays? In the first image circled in red is the parking sign I read. In the 2nd image is the suspension notice obscured by the van. I would have had to stand in the middle of the road to read this, in fact that's where I was standing when I took the photo. I have pasted the appeal and rejection below. Many thanks for looking. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- This is my appeal statement: As you can see from the image attached (image 1) I actually paid £18.50 to park my car in Gee st. I parked the car at what I thought was outside 55 Gee st as seen in image 2 attached. When I read the PCN issued it stated there was a parking suspension. There was no suspension notice on the sign that I used to call the payment service outside number 55 Gee st. I looked for a suspension notice and eventually found one which was obscured by a large van and generator parked outside 47 Gee st. As seen in images 3 and 4 attached. I am guessing the parking suspension was to allow the Van to park and sell Pizza during the Clerkenwell design week. I was not obstructing the use or parking of the van, in fact the van was obstructing the suspension notice which meant I could not read or see it without prior knowledge it was there. I would have had to stand in the road to see it endangering myself as I had to to take images to illustrate the hidden notice. As there was no intention to avoid a parking charge and the fact the sign was not easily visible I would hope this challenge can be accepted. Many thanks.   This is the text from the rejection: Thank you for contacting us about the above Penalty Charge Notice (PCN). The PCN was issued because the vehicle was parked in a suspended bay or space. I note from your correspondence that there was no suspension notice on the sign that you used to call the payment serve outside number 55 Gee Street. I acknowledge your comments, however, your vehicle was parked in a bay which had been suspended. The regulations require the suspension warning to be clearly visible. It is a large bright yellow sign and is erected by the parking bay on the nearest parking plate to the area that is to be suspended. Parking is then not permitted in the bay for any reason or period of time, however brief. The signs relating to this suspension were sited in accordance with the regulations. Upon reviewing the Civil Enforcement Officer's (CEO's) images and notes, I am satisfied that sufficient signage was in place and that it meets statutory requirements. Whilst I note that the signage may have been obstructed by a large van and generator at the time, please note, it is the responsibility of the motorist to locate and check the time plate each time they park. This will ensure that any changes to the status of the bay are noted. I acknowledge that your vehicle possessed a RingGo session at the time, however, this does not authorize parking within a suspended bay. Suspension restrictions are established to facilitate specific activities like filming or construction, therefore, we anticipate the vehicle owner to relocate the vehicle from the suspended area until the specified date and time when the suspension concludes. Leaving a vehicle unattended for any period of time within a suspended bay, effectively renders the vehicle parked in contravention and a Civil Enforcement Officer (CEO) may issue a PCN. Finally, the vehicle was left parked approximately 5 metres away from the closest time plate notice. It is the responsibility of the driver to ensure they park in a suitable parking place and check all signs and road markings prior to leaving their vehicle parked in contravention. It remains the driver's responsibility to ensure that the vehicle is parked legally at all times. With that being said, I would have to inform you, your appeal has been rejected at this stage. Please see the below images as taken by the CEO whilst issuing the PCN: You should now choose one of the following options: Pay the penalty charge. We will accept the discounted amount of £65.00 in settlement of this matter, provided it is received by 10 June 2024. After that date, the full penalty charge of £130.00 will be payable. Or Wait for a Notice to Owner (NtO) to be issued to the registered keeper of the vehicle, who is legally responsible for paying the penalty charge. Any further correspondence received prior to the NtO being issued may not be responded to. The NtO gives the recipient the right to make formal representations against the penalty charge. If we reject those representations, there will be the right of appeal to the Environment and Traffic Adjudicator.   Gee st pdf.pdf

    • Incorrect as the debt will have been legally assigned to the DCA and they are therefore now the legal creditor. Read up on debt assignment.   Andy

    • 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.

Unfortunately due to my disability, I've been unable to deal with a few debts being predominantly bedbound and I'm trying to go back and clear this up to the best of my ability although I am still housebound.

I received a letter stating I have not replied to a claim form and ordered to pay £460.

I do not remember the exact circumstances to this issue but I am sure it's energy supplier who has passed on my details although last I knew it was with the energy ombudsman disputing the outstanding balance back in 2019. I assume I spoke to debt collectors once and that was to explain that the issue was being disputed with financial ombudsman.Â*

I'm assuming the only thing I can do is ask the judgement to be set aside? Does this just restart the whole process again? What happens or what are my options if I cannot attend court due to my condition?

 

Incase you need this to:

 

(from judgement letter only no claim pack ever received)

 

Name of the Claimant ? Merligen Investements Limited

 

Date of issue – 12-MARCH-2020

 

Particulars of Claim

 

What is the claim for – 

 

1.THE DEFENDANT OWES THE CLAIMANT £326.95 IN RESPECT OF GAS/ELECTRICITY CHARGES SUPPLIED TO THE DEFENDANT BY FLOW ENERGY LIMITED (DEBT) WHICH DEBT WAS ASSIGNED TO THE CLAIMANT ON 01/11/2019 AND NOTICE OF WHICH WAS GIVEN TO THE DEFENDANT ON THE 01/11/2019.

 

2.DESPITE FORMAL DEMAND FOR PAYMENT OF THE DEBT THE DEFENDANT HAS FAILED TO PAY

 

3.AND THE CLAIMANT CLAIMS £326.95

AND FURTHER CLAIMS INTEREST THEREON PURSUANT TO SECTION 69 OF THE COUNTY COURT ACT 1984 LIMITED TO ONE YEAR TO THE DATE HEREOF AT THE RATE OF 8.00% PER ANNUM AMOUNTING TO £26.15.

 

What is the total value of the claim? 351 + 107 cost

 

Have you received prior notice of a claim being issued pursuant to paragraph 3 of the PAPDC (Pre Action Protocol) ? I think thet called me once

 

Have you changed your address since the time at which the debt referred to in the claim was allegedly incurred? NO

 

Did you inform the claimant of your change of address? NO

 

Is the claim for - a Bank Account (Overdraft) or credit card or loan or catalogue or mobile phone account? NO

 

When did you enter into the original agreement before or after April 2007 ? After April 2007

 

Do you recall how you entered into the agreement...On line /In branch/By post ? Online

 

Is the debt showing on your credit reference files (Experian/Equifax /Etc...) ? Not as of yet

 

Has the claim been issued by the original creditor or was the account assigned and it is the Debt purchaser who has issued the claim. Orginal debt was with Flow Energy

 

Were you aware the account had been assigned – did you receive a Notice of Assignment? I received a phonecall saying they were chasing debt on behalf flow energy 

 

Did you receive a Default Notice from the original creditor? Not that I am aware

 

Have you been receiving statutory notices headed “Notice of Sums in Arrears”  or " Notice of Arrears "– at least once a year ? Not that I am aware

 

Why did you cease payments? I was disputing the outstanding balance with Energy ombudsman and I couldn't afford to pay debt + higher rate energy direct debit due to low income/disability 

 

What was the date of your last payment? March 2019

 

Was there a dispute with the original creditor that remains unresolved? Yes although checking back on my emails the ombudsman had made a decision i wasn't aware of but they gave me a bill after winter with estimated bills. I think they didn't take money out after the discussion and then they chased me up and put payment plan and instead of taking what agreed they added £100 more. They corrected this but i still couldn't offered to pay for both the debt and current energy bill. They did not take my disability or low income into account and i took it to the energy ombudsman and switch suppliers in the mean time.

 

Did you communicate any financial problems to the original creditor and make any attempt to enter into a debt management plan? Yes I told them i couldn't afford to pay debt + energy bills. They would not let me pay lower than £40.

  • dx100uk changed the title to CCJ received today from Merligen investment/Moriarty Laws

yep a classic stunt for M/M to do, lots here already, backdoor CCJ on an old flow energy debt, with everything filed to the old address the bills were from.?

 

2 things..

ring northants bulk tomorrow and ask for a copy of the CLAIMFORM by email pdf.

. if they don't have it ask them to read out the particulars of claim box text ....RECORD THE CALL.

also ask them the address the claimform was sent too.

 

then look thru your old letters and findout if you ever gave flow energy your correct and present address ?

as it's always amazing how everything M/M do is sent elsewhere but magically when it comes down to requesting a default court judgement they always quote them the correct address to send it too..funny that eh? almost as if they did it on purpose..no never be that sneaky would a dca or their mates....:pound:

 

should be easy to set this aside once we have the details.

Hi  buxs and Welcome to CAG

 

So you have not changed address and this debt has no connection to a previous address...simply a case of none receipt of the court claim ?

  • AndyOrch changed the title to None receipt of court claim CCJ Merligen/Moriarty Law - old flow energy debt.

Hi,

Thank you for the fast replies.

 

I have not changed address since this process I've been same address since 2010.

 

The "debt" was with the Energy ombudsman March 2019 but looks like flow sold it on despite this.

I can't be 100% certain as several debt dispute and one with another energy supplier that went under but wanted more money.

Honestly I have a really bad time with them especially with their surprise bills.

 

Regarding this I am now able to mobilise inside the house although very limited and with cognitive function at a level where i can tackle this i'm trying to tackle all the issues that occurred while i was down.

What i don't want is the stress to exacerbate my condition and be bedbound again.

 

I'm going back through all unopened post and i do not see one from the courts just a letter from moriortylaw from 24/02/2020 of court proceedings and yesterdays judgement in default. 

 

Unless there are some letters missing i don't see the court one.

I'm about to call them back to double check the address again is there anything else i should ask them.

It's strange because he said the claimant was flow energy but on the document i have it say merligen investments with moriarty law as the address

OK so they said it's my address; It sounds correct.

I did notice the address was cut off due to envelope the first characters/door number was  missing. 

Probably grasping at straws but seems strange  I would receive both correspondence but not the claim form

so in your previous letters have you a 'letter of claim' from moriarty law then?

that's a very misleading letter

as it shows the originator as flow energy but does say who moriarty's client are ,

but ofcourse we know its merlingen as they are the claimant listed on the judgement ccj.

 

so:

no pre action protocol 'letter of claim' issued by moriarty - so have broken the PAP guidelines.

no claimform pack from northants bulk court - so you were removed from the opportunity to defend.

seriously in dispute before debt sale to merlingen

 

I think that's got everything for a seta side

let andyorch check things 1st mind.

Flow Energy no longer own the debt...you are now liable to Merlingen....as the legal owner of the debt...although I doubt you ever received notice of the legal sale by way of a Notice of Assignment. ?

 

Okay the fee to set a side is currently £255 with hearing and £100 without...you use the N244 to make the application..you can request costs within the application and if successful overall you will be awarded costs.

 

Use box 10 to state an initial outline of any proposed defence.

 

You attach a draft order to the application requesting what order you wish to make.

Is the only legal defense I did not receive the claim forms?

 

What about mitigating circumstances such as my health and flow energy sold the debt while it was still in dispute or are those completely irrelevant?

 

What about the things pointed out in this thread should i add those too or courts won't care?

 

Also is there a legal defense to offering payment and it being refused?

defence not defense.

 

they have to date not provided any paperwork as it was a backdoor CCJ.

that removed your right to defend the claim

 

it being in serious dispute, going to the ombs service etc etc and most probably not correctly billed is a reasonable basic defence.
