    • What you have uploaded is a letter with daft empty threats from third-party paper tigers.  Just ignore it. What we need to see is the original invoice you received last October or November.
    • Thanks for posting the CPR contents. i do wish you hadn't blanked out the dates and times since at times they can be relevant . Can you please repost including times and dates. They say that they sent a copy of  the original  PCN that they sent to the Hirer  along with your hire agreement documents. Did you receive them and if so can you please upload the original PCN without erasing dates and times. If they did include  all the paperwork they said, then that PCN is pretty near compliant except for their error with the discount time. In the Act it isn't actually specified but to offer a discount for 14 days from the OFFENCE is a joke. the offence occurred probably a couple of months prior to you receiving your Notice to Hirer.  Also the words in parentheses n the Act have been missed off. Section 14 [5][c] (c)warn the hirer that if, after the period of 21 days beginning with the day after that on which the notice to hirer is given, the amount of unpaid parking charges referred to in the notice to keeper under paragraph 8(2)(f) or 9(2)(f) (as the case may be) has not been paid in full, the creditor will (if any applicable requirements are met) have the right to recover from the hirer so much of that amount as remains unpaid; Though it states "if any applicable ...." as opposed to "if all applicable......" in Section 8 or 9. Maybe the Site could explain what the difference between the two terms mean if there is a difference. Also on your claim form they keeper referring to you as the driver or the keeper.  You are the Hirer and only the Hirer is responsible for the charge EVEN IF THEY WEREN'T THE DRIVER. So they cannot pursue the driver and nowhere in the Hirer section of the Act is the hirer ever named as the keeper so NPC are pursuing the wrong person.  
    • This is simply a scam site.  It's been shown to be a scam in the national press and on national TV. Please fill in the the forum sticky and upload the invoice you've received. In fact what you have is an invoice, not a fine, a private company doesn't have the power to issue fines.

    • 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.

Hello everyone,I am new here🙂

I have 18k debt with 5 creditors I have been paying only minimum without any missed payments.

After taking full covid payment break, decided to go DMP as I can no longer catch up. I have about 180/month left after expenses.

 

I sent holding letters to creditors while I prepare a budget sheet.

They all agreed to give me 30 days before contacting.

 

Meanwhile, I had to have expensive and unexpected dental treatment.

I will have to put some £1500 more for upcoming treatment, I will need some time if I want to put that money aside instead of using it for DMP payment.

 

I will have to contact them and let them know my plan in 2 weeks.

 

What should I do?

Maybe offering token payment?

Explaining the situation with treatment fee with a budget sheet, suggesting I will increase the amount after the treatment is over?

 

Or..better ideas?

 

Also, am I correct to think that as long as I keep in touch with them, showing my willingness (eg.paying 1 pound token payment) to pay, I can reasonably expect them to cooperate?

 

Thank you in advance,

have you got any income you have going into a parachute account that no-one you owe money too can simply take it ?

 

when you took out any of the above, was your credit file shot with defaults and late payments?

particularly the ratesetter loan?

 

sorry i forgot to answer you Q about £1PCM etc, yes do as you indicate

if you look in our debt collection section of our library , theres a few pro rata letters , if you've not already done that...

 

whatever you do, take control of YOUR money, get it out of the hands of people that can swallow it without your intervention...

Hi, yes I opened a new basic account for the purpose.

 

That reminds me, another question.

Are they able to take money for payments from agreed overdraft?(the account is in debit)

I have cancelled all DD except mortgage from usual account.

 

I'm not sure about default..I've been struggling to access to my account for credit report to check.

Ratesetter mentioned when they replied me about holding action,that they will have to issue a default letter if required.I haven't received anything yet.

I meant the bank you hold an account with,where you took your debt from-in my case, I have a current account with barclays and I took a loan,overdraft from them.(DD cancelled.)

Sorry my explanation may not be always clear.

they possibly might but if you've cancelled the relevant DD's, i doubt they would use the offset rule no.

 

so time for a few of our Pro rata letters i detailed earlier.

Thank you dx,

 

I have another question.

I understand it's important to make

pro-rata offer to treat all the creditors fairly.

 

About 2 months before I decided to send holding letters to creditors, I contacted HSBC as covid payment break was ending then.

Also I wanted to keep one credit card which I can use to buy some medical items I need from my country.

They agreed to freeze interest and charges for a year and let me keep the credit card, as long as I keep minimum payments.

 

So...when I make pro rata offer to the other creditors, do I simply exclude

HSBC from the list?

(If I include HSBC for pro rata, it would be about 62/month. the actual amount I'm paying as minimum is about 140.)

  • 2 weeks later...

Hello again,

 

Some updates and a little question...

 

Ratesetter replied to say they are currently not in a position to review a token payment plan,

and extended breathing period of 30 days, to be reviewed every 30 days.

It says there is no minimum payment...I understand that I may stay on the breathing periods

for sometimes, before making alternative arrangement.

 

On the other hand, barclay(loan) sent me 2 missed payment letters,

without responding either to my holding letter or token payment offer letter.

They tried to call me on numerous occations, which I ignored as I am not 

interested in communicating by telephone.

 

What should I do...send the same letter-again? or start sending token payment anyway? 

complain by online chat? 

I don't like very much  getting "missed payment" letters together with

a copy of arrears info sheet of FCA...

Thank you in advance for help,

pay what you said when you said

arrears notices are mandatory for creditors to send under FCA rules so don't worry. if they don't send them they can't charge interest.

Oh ok.I didn't know they are only mandatory.

Does that mean I should expect to receive more of them 

and are to be just ignored?

 

In my last letter I proposed 1 pound token payment/month

together with my budget sheet.

No one has replied yet except Ratesetter.

Maybe I wait a little bit more for replies before start paying

-as I sent letters only a week ago, and didn't mention about

when I would start paying.

 

By the way Barclays has so many contact addresses

that I feel a bit unsure whether I'm using the correct address,

especially when you don't get any reply from them.

Only Ratesetter allows you to communicate by email,

which is a lot easier and quicker.
