    • You will probably get a couple more reminders followed by further demands fro unregulated debt collectors with even increasing amounts to pay. They are all designed to scare you into paying.  Don't. It's a scam site and they do not know who was driving and they know the keeper is not liable to pay the PCN. Also the shop was closed so they have no legitimate interest in keeping the car park clear. So to charge £100 is a penalty as there is no legitimate interest which means that the case would be thrown out if it went to Court.  Keep your money in your wallet and be prepared to ignore all their letters and threats. Doubtful they would go to Court since a lot more people would not pay when they heard  MET lost in Court. However they may just send you a Letter of Claim to test your resolve.  If yoy get one of those, come back to us and we will advise a snotty letter to send them.  You probably already have, but take a look through some of our past Met PCNs to see how they are doing.
    • Hello, been a while since I posted on here, really hoping for the same support an advice I received last time :-) Long, long story for us, but basically through bad choices, bad luck and bad advice ended up in an IVA in 2016. The accounts involved all defaulted, to be expected. In 2018, I got contacted by an 'independent advisor' advising me that I shouldn't be in an IVA, that it wasn't the solution for our circumstances and that they would guide us through the process of leaving the IVA and finding a better solution. I feel very stupid for taking this persons advice, and feel they prey on vulnerable people for their own financial gain (it ended with us paying our IVA monthly contribution to them)-long and short of it our IVA failed in 2018. At the same time the IVA failed we also had our shared ownership property voluntarily repossessed (to say this was an incredibly stressful time would be an understatement!) When we moved to our new (rented) property in August 2018, I was aware that creditors would start contacting us from the IVA failure. I got advice from another help website and started sending off SARs and CCAs request letters. I was advised not to bury my head and update our address etc and tackle each company as they came along. Initially there was quite a lot of correspondence, and I still get a daily missed call from PRA group (and the occasional letter from them), but not much else. However, yesterday i had a letter through from Lowell (and one from Capital One) advising that they had bought my debt and would like to speak with me regarding the account. There will be several.of these through our door i suspect, as we did have several accounts with Capital One. Capital One have written to us with regular statements over the last 5 years, and my last communication with them was to advise of of our new address (June 2019), I also note that all of these accounts received a small payment in Jan2019 (i'm assuming the funds from the failed IVA pot). Really sorry for the long long post, but just thought id give (some of) the background for context.... I guess my question at the moment is.....how do I respond to Lowell...do I wait for the inevitable other letters to arrive then deal with them all together or individually...? Do I send them a CCA?  Many thanks
    • hi all just got the reminder letter, I have attached it and also the 2nd side of the original 1st pcn (i just saw the edit above) Look forward to your advice Thanks   PCN final reminder.pdf pcn original side 2.pdf

    • 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.

Having paid by card would have been the icing on the cake. Nevertheless your son is not liable to pay the charge. Please tell him that and try to relax.

 

We can see if we get to the Witness Statement stage that we can write something that will result in them going no further.  End of the case no Court involved. So fingers crossed.

If they had a strong case they would already be doing court.  Yet they are still messing around sending letters.  Wonder why.

I was reading reviews about DCBL, they do take lost causes to Court and continue sending harassing letters up to 5 years,  in my opinion only the driver should be put before the Court not the registered keeper.

DCBL are so assured my son was the driver, he is severely mentally impaired he cannot even write or read, his Motability vehicle enables him to get took out.

DCBL are brave enough when knocking on someone's door  who doesn't know the Law.

But in Court the Judge does know a lot more than them and the ginger tom cat in next door's house knows more than DCBL.

So just relax your son is not liable for any charges.

Nor is the Motability driver.

But whatever happened they would never be knocking on your door for this, they have to convince a judge, and that isn't as easy as people think.

Thankyou to you all for keeping me going and helping I hate wallowing in self pity and do want to help my son but I am not in good health I have a poorly husband who is not long out of hospital recently.  He was robbed in the street in 1996 and was left brain damaged and is frequently quite poorly.

 

 I am now an only child and trying to look after my elderly parents who are in poor health too and do not live close to me, my severely impaired son depends on me though he does not live with me and the poor bugger thinks I can magic anything up (If only he knew)

 

 My youngest daughter as mental illness too and had to leave work in 2011 on ill health grounds I look after her I forget so many things I am supposed to be doing at times so I really really appreciate the help and advice off here. I realise I must annoy some of you at times but I really do try to help myself as much as I can understand things I am near pension age

 

You helped my dying sister in 2009  over a faulty vehicle sadly she died before the outcome leaving me 3 boys as she was a widow, thanks to CAG she received a bit of cash for the youngest boy who was 15 and autistic I wanted you to know I am not bone idle I just struggle with my ever increasing burdens. My sister really was grateful for the help you gave her and I have turned to you many times you are a god send. Please bare with me with everything I struggle to concentrate and understand at times.

Found this interesting I have just seen on the internet,  my sons vehicle is a Motability vehicle and he is illiterate and severely mentally impaired, he is the keeper not the driver.

 

"Well I had my parking ticket overturned 
 
I reminded parking eye that Motability cars are often not driven by their keeper, they're usually driven by families/carers.
 
I therefore asked the question about easy read formats, braille etc for the keepers to be informed and the lack of that option therefore means that they are discriminating against disabled people, and also the distress it causes to people with disabilities.
 
In just under 24 hours the ticket was overturned"

That is interesting, and could be useful if the fleecers don't give up.

 

However, don't worry, despite all the parasites' bluster we haven't seen them take anyone to court for "wrong registration" cases in a long time.

I am puzzled as to why the registered keeper has to fill all this paper work in when it is the driver who is responsible,

do you fill in about the expenditure and income

do you have to send proof of all your income and expenditures

and do I send proof off of the keepers disabilities?

No idea what to put as a defence other than a ticket was purchased and that registered keeper is a none driver

Do you send all the pack back together with the Acknowledgement and the Defence to this Court business Centre at Northampton?

The claim says the driver agreed to pay within 28 days,

how can they state this when the driver has not been identified and no one has stated they would pay.

The MCOL site often has maintenance work done on it over the weekend, but certainly on Monday you need to get Acknowledgement of Service done and send off a CPR request (get a free Certificate of Posting from the post office) as dx has explained.

 

Then after that you need to start reading threads to understand the court process - but one step at a time.

We could do with some help from you.
