    • What type of finance is it?   HP, PCP, Loan? They want her to ring so they can bully her into making payments she can't afford...unless she can record her calls then IMHO, I'd keep everything in writing. Is £400 SSP her only income? There's no chance they will justify taking half of that.   Lodge a formal complaint with them ASAP, exhaust it, and then you can escalate it sooner rather than later, ruddy sharks!  
    • Is all of this actually on the signage? Don't remember seeing that much detail on other threads.
    • If I have learnt one thing from this forum, it's not to call and communicate via email. I passed this info on to her and they are pushing for her to call them.    "Unfortunately, you will need to call us. The conversation won’t be so black and white as to therefore type over email. In a nutshell we can confirm that the request to not pay for 3 months we cannot put in place"  I emailed them back on her behalf and said that what ever is discussed over the phone will need to be put in an email so that she can review it properly. No decisions will be made on that phone call.    "Once we speak to you on the phone we will follow up with an email to confirm the options discussed. [Phone number]"   Why are they pushing for a phone call? If its not so black and white, why can they then follow up with an email?  
    • Appreciate input Andy, updated: IN THE ******** County Court Claim No. [***] BETWEEN: LC Asset 2 S.A.R.L CLAIMANT AND [***] DEFENDANT ************ _________________________ ________ WITNESS STATEMENT OF [***] _________________________ ________ I, [***], being the Defendant in this case will state as follows;     I make this Witness Statement in support of my defence in this claim.   1. I understand that the claimant is an Assignee, a buyer of defunct or bad debts, which are bought on mass portfolios at a much-reduced cost to the amount claimed and which the original creditors have already written off as a capital loss and claimed against taxable income as confirmed in the claimant’s witness statement exhibit by way of the Deed of Assignment. As an assignee or creditor as defined in section 189 of the CCA this applies to this new requirement on assignment of rights. This means that when an assignee purchases debts (or otherwise acquires rights under a credit agreement) it also acquires certain obligations to the borrower including the duty to comply with CCA requirements (such as the rules on statements and notices and other post-contractual information). The assignee becomes the creditor under the agreement. This ensures that essential consumer protections under the CCA cannot be circumvented by assigning the debt to a third party. 2. The Claim relates to an alleged Credit Card agreement between the Defendant and Bank of Scotland plc. Save insofar of any admittance it is accepted that the Defendant has had contractual agreements with Bank of Scotland plc in the past, the Defendant is unaware as to what alleged debt the Claimant refers. The Defendant has not entered any contract with the Claimant. 3. The Defendant requested a copy of the CCA on the 24/12/2022 along with the standard fee of £1.00 postal order, to which the defendant received a reply from the Claimant dated 06/02/2023. To this date, the Claimant has failed to disclose a valid agreement and proof as per their claim that this is enforceable, that Default Notice and Notice of Assignment were sent to and received by the Defendant, on which their claim relies. The Claimant is put to strict proof to verify and confirm that the exhibit *** is a true copy of the agreement and are the true Terms and Conditions as issued at the time of inception of the online application and execution of the agreement. 4. Point 3 is noted. The Claimant pleads that a default notice has been served upon the defendant as evidenced by Exhibit [***]. The claimant is put to strict proof to verify the service of the above in accordance with s136 and s196 Law of Property Act 1925. 5. Point 6 is noted and disputed. The Defendant cannot recall ever having received the notice of assignment as evidenced in the exhibit marked ***. The claimant is put to strict proof to verify the service of the above in accordance with s136 and s196 Law of Property Act 1925. 6. Point 11 is noted and disputed. See 3. 7. Point 12 is noted, the Defendant doesn’t recall receiving contact where documentation is provided as per the Claimants obligations under CCA. In addition, the Claimant pleads letters were sent on dates given, yet those are not the letters evidenced in their exhibits *** 8. Point 13 is noted and denied. Claimant is put to strict proof to prove allegations. 9. The Claimant did not provide a true copy of the CCA in response to the Defendants request of 21/12/2022. The Claimant further claims that the documents are sufficient to pursue a Judgement and are therefore copies of original documents in their possession. Conclusion 10. Without the Claimant providing a valid true copy of the executed Credit agreement that complies with the CCA, the Claimant has no grounds on which to enforce this alleged debt. 11. The Claimant has been unjustly enriched at the expense of the Defendant by purchasing bulk debt at a greatly reduced cost and subrogating for the original creditor in trying to recuperate the full amount of the original debt 12. The Defendant was not given ample evidence to prove the debt and therefore was not required to enter settlement negotiations. Should the debt be proved in the future, the Defendant is willing to enter such negotiations with the Claimant. On receipt of this claim I could not recall the precise details of the agreement or any debt and sought clarity from the claimant by way of a Section 78 request. The Claimant failed to comply. I can only assume as this was due to the Claimant not having any enforceable documentation and issuing a claim in hope of an undefended default judgment.   Statement of Truth I, ********, the Defendant, believe the facts stated within this Witness Statement to be true. I understand that proceedings for contempt of court may be brought against anyone who makes, or causes to be made, a false statement in a document verified by a statement of truth without an honest belief in it’s truth. Signed: _________________________ _______ Dated: _____________________
    • Morning,  I am hoping someone can help, I am posting on behalf of my friend so I will try and provide as much info as possible.  Due health reasons, she is currently not working and unable to pay her contractual car finance payments. She emailed 247 Money and asked for a 3 month payment holiday, they refused this straight away with no reasons as to why. They have told her that instead she can make a payment of £200. She is currently getting £400+ a month ssp so this is not acceptable. She went back to them and explained she cannot make this payment and they have not offered an alternative plan. Its £200 or she falls into default.  She is now panicking as she does not want her car to be taken away. What options does she have?  Thank 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.

I was sent a speculative invoice from this parking company stating that I never paid for a parking ticket in their car park.

 

I appealed the charge and stated that they had no evidence of me going into their car park which is several units up the road from where I did park.

 

I stopped in the early hours to grab a hot drink from a 24hr cafe and parked in a bay on Queensway.

 

There were no signs stating it was pay and display, that it was private property which in my knowledge still is a public highway under Westminster Council.

 

The signage was loading bay only and did state that this was allowed between the hours of 7.30am - midday.

 

I didn’t think at 3am that I would be ticketed by a warden unbeknown to me as there was no signage that CCTV was in operation.
 

In essence, my appeal was rejected and I received a bizarre call from their solicitor stating he was going to escalate it to the courts.

 

I stated that my position remained the same and I wasn’t prepared to answer more questions over the phone and the matter must be conducted in writing.

 

I’ve received another threatening letter (please refer to attachment)  

 

ANSWERS TO YOUR SET OF QUESTIONS: 

 

1 Date of the infringement 06/04/2022 04:04:07

 

2 Date on the NTK [this must have been received within 14 days from the 'offence' date] 08/4/2022 

 

3 Date received 13/04/2022 

 

4 Does the NTK mention schedule 4 of The Protections of Freedoms Act 2012? N

 

5 Is there any photographic evidence of the event? Yes

 

6 Have you appealed? yes - unfortunately the appeal was submitted online and I do not have a copy of it suffice to say it was sent off three days after receiving the original notice. In the appeal I state that the confirmation did not occur because I did not park the car in the car park.

 

Have you had a response?   yes - he's came in the form of a phone call from the alleged solicitor. No written formal rejection has been received.

 

7 Who is the parking company? SolutionsLab via Regents Parking

 

8. Where exactly [carpark name and town] Its is stated that I was parked in Queensway Car Park which isn’t strictly accurate as they are situated on 26 Queensway and is a purpose built car park whereas I was parked in a bay approximately opposite 37 Queensway, Central London W2 4QJ  

 

For either option, does it say which appeals body they operate under.

POFA2012 and IAS
 

I received a phone call allegedly from the solicitor who warned me this would go to court to retrieve if I didn’t pay.

 

I said that I wasn’t in their car park, the photo evidence is clear to which he replied that the parking bays are also considered as part of their car park.

 

The street signs make no reference to paying parking, if anything they say new street restrictions and state only loading between the hours of 7am - midday allowed.

 

I also received a letter dated the 10tJune 2022 from CSB solicitors based in London.

So this wasn't a windcscreen ticket, was a notice to keeper through the post, now on Private land a loading bay is not enforceable, and before DX jumps in with some proper advice, its NOT A Fine, its a speculative Invoice for breach of a term in a contract the allege you entered into by daring to park ob land they infest

Just a couple of questions, at the time you parked you definitely didn't see any "Prominent" signage stating was loading bay etc?

 

Other thing was your appeal outed you as the driver, but all is not lost anyway.

What are these scammers doing phoning people!!

How did they get you number.

 

i find it really puzzling why they'd setup anpr cameras for a loading bay scam, they cant enforce that anyway. Nor how can the cameras tell you parked in one and not a bay?

 

ignore them totally now never talk on the phone, if you ever get a letter of claim with a reply pack comeback here.

 

It might be that because you though this was a penalty fine, and p'haps stated other things along those lines in your appeal, a phone call might have scammed you out of your debit card number to cough up and they'd spoof a tidy sum + a fee out of you too.

 

well you now know its a speculative invoice for breaking some kind of imaginary contract by driving on the land they might have a valid parking management agreement with the land owner..or they might not!!!

These seem to be new scammers on the block.

 

Where to start?  Well there is a 15-minute industry-wide grace/consideration period where you're allowed to read the signs and then leave if you decide not to accept the conditions.

 

No pay-and-display signs.

 

No machine to pay with.

 

Leaving aside for a moment that the whole appeal procedure is a con, they are supposed to give you a written rejection of your appeal and the chance to appeal to the trade association appeal body.

 

As dx says, just ignore them.

 

But come back here if you ever get a Letter of Claim/Letter before Action.

I know Bayswater pretty well and you are not quite right with your location.

26 Queensway is Qpark which is a totally different company.

 

Regent parking are in Princess Court  which is a little further down than from where you said you parked. And when you said you parked opposite 37 did you mean that you parked in the layby next to 37 since there isn't a layby across the road  from 37 .

 

If you parked  next to Taza kebab you are still several car lengths from Princess Court which would make it difficult to be caught by ANPR cameras in Princess court. Is it possible that you parked in the lay by in front of Princess Court instead?

 

i don't live far from there [less than 10 minutes] so I can have a look once I know where you actually parked. I can also get an update on Regent's signage that doesn't look as if it complies.

 

It is also a pity that you appealed [though perfectly understandable if you were by Taza ] since their PCN does not comply with POFA so the keeper cannot be held liable for the debt.

 

If you are sure you parked there then your GDPR has been breached so you can have some fun if you like.

The first thing to say is that I assumed that this area was monitored by Westminster Council and when I looked up parking it didn’t say anything about Regents Parking being involved and in fact there are paid bays further down that the council oper

Operates and at reasonable more standard times.

 

The zone is B3 and the exact spot I exact spot is here:

 

https ://goo.gl/maps/15h8o5YNRtPai28y5

 

There are signs but the time was 3am and I definitely wasn’t more than 15mins as I popped into Dr Power to buy a take-away coffee which was recorded as being 3.49.

 

Surely the point here is that the contravention says I never bought a ticket for parking in their car park and they’ve no evidence of me parking in their car park.

 

How they’ve got my number I don’t know.

 

The ‘solicitor’ stated that the bay on Queensway is an extension of their car park.

 

I can’t see how that is legally possible, nor is that compatible with this street being monitored by Westminster Council. 


(Other forums eg MSE 2 Feb 2021, an almost identical complaint from a driver who did as u did also got threats of court action and was put down to it being a scam.)

 

The concern I now have is how this has been now been referred onto dcbl (Debt Collection Bailiffs Ltd).

DCBL are acting as debt collectors.  They are an uninterested third party that can do absolutely nothing.  Relax.

 

From what I've read SolutionsLab/Regents Parking have never taken anyone to court.

OK  if you are sure you parked in the lay by next to Dr. Power then write to Regents Parking.  State that your car  was not parked in their car park and that they have breached your GDPR. As this carries a penalty of £2000 to £3000 in Court any further demands for money will involve in you taking them to Court for said breach and suing for £3000.

 

Do not use" I "in the letter thereby insinuating that you may have been the driver. Keep it down to you being the keeper of the car but not admitting who the driver was.

 

Hopefully they will then shut up. The ball is then in your court as to where you go then.
