    • Don't appeal. This is a well known scam site to us. It's even been exposed on national TV by Joe Lycett! The traditional route was that we'd push Starbucks to cancel the PCN but that hasn't been working as of late. You've got 2 options: 1. Pay the £60 and the matter goes away. 2. Ignore them and engage with us. We'd rather you choose option 2. We'll be with you every step of the way. The good news is that MET rarely goes to court with this, providing you engage with us properly. The times they have is when people have either come to us late or have ignored our advice. Many times, once defended properly with our advice, they claims are either discontinued by MET or struck out by the courts. Get reading up by using the search feature and searching "Southgate Park", go see how many cases we have here of this scam site, get used to the process. Get reading at least 20+ threads
    • As above so it is essential you don't appeal and accidentally reveal who was driving. Stay quiet to Met and their pet DCA unless you get a letter before claim.
    • Hello, welcome to CAG. Thank you for the information. To answer your question, we don't recommend appealing at all. It will be a waste of your time and you could end up outing the driver. Ask any questions that you have but basically you keep an eye on this, keep the correspondence and if MET ever they send a Letter Before Claim/Action. If you get to that stage, we'll suggest being proactive. Best, HB EDIT: Could we see the other side of the PCN please? Sometimes there is information that they've left off.
    • Hi All, Can ii get advice on this PCN received at the services near stansted airport. Picked someone up at night and went to grab coffee and snack in mc Ds, and didnt realise there was zones in this car park, it was late dark and pouring with rain so obvious u see the large 60mins parking free and dont stand around reading everything. My son and his mother were in the back of car still as he was sleeping. Ticket appears to be from CCTV camera   should i appeal, then see what they say (assume it will be rejected) then go to POPLA,   Thanks in advance     1 Date of the infringement 28/4/24 2 Date of issue  30/4/24 (says 14 days from date of letter) 3 Date received 4/5/23 4 Does the NTK mention schedule 4 of The Protections of Freedoms Act 2012? [Y/N?] N 5 Is there any photographic evidence of the event? pic car and n0 plate 6 Have you appealed? [Y/N?] post up your appeal] Not yet Have you had a response? [Y/N?] post it up N/A 7 Who is the parking company? MET Parking Services 8. Where exactly [carpark name and town] Southgate Park, Stansted     (parked on starbucks side which was shut) For either option, does it say which appeals body they operate under. cant see it If you have received any other correspondence, please mention it here   No other correspondence     pcn.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.

Hi

 

I would appreciate some help with the following.

 

I received a Letter of Claim from Kearns Solicitors on behalf of Link Financial Outsourcing Ltd this morning, the debt is an old bank of scotland card, opened around 2014.

 

It states i have 30 days to respond or legal action will commence.

 

Any advice appreciated, the debt is close to £10k and i have no way of paying. Im on low income and have no assets.

 

Ive never made payments to it once it defaulted 4 years ago.

 

I was also made bankrupt in 2004 i thought i wont get into this mess again.

 

In total i have debts around £12k plus interest.

 

DRO's is an option, i just cant afford it with 3 young kids.

Just googled Kearns solicitors, they are part of Link Financial, so they save money on legal cost.

 

My CC debt it around £9200 plus 8% interest for 4 years. 

 

How much court fees will that be? 

 

Make them get ccj and then file for DRO which cost £90. I had to pay around £500 to go bankrupt 14 years ago.

 

Well CCA first..

 

Im already struggling and they decide to threathen me with legal action just before christmas. Really annoyed..

 i know i own this debt, its £9200, i thought after it got defaulted it will eventually statuary disbar.

 

Its been 4 years since default and , i buried my head in the sand.

 

The letter says in 30 days they will take legal action if i dont come to an arrangement with them.

 

Already struggling with energy bills/rent etc and christmas is so close to. Gonna be tough on the kids.

 

Just been to post office, purchased uncrossed PO and will write letter and send on monday for CCA.

 

Thanks for your help

 

With regards to ticking box d to send to kearns, what can i write in their. Can i write i dispute this debt cos i dont recall having debt with link financial.

 

Another thing i have searched the forum, should i allow them to take legal action against me and then request these files if they delay in getting cca then will the case be struck out?

throw the morality card away , you do not owe this debt just because you spent the money!! utter rubbish!!

 

ask yourself this WHY did HBOS sell the debt on for <10p=£1 rather than take you to court themselves and crush you????

 

when you took this card out were there any defaults, late payments or CCJ's on your file?

 

as for the letter of claim reply you put the debt purchaser has yet to provide any or all of the required documentation. (as i said the default it suggests thats already there)

Funny you should say that, initially my credit limit was low, overtime they increased it, i had some large gambling transactions on statements and they still increased limits a few times after that.

 

Thankfully i stopped all gambling...

 

I think credit limit was 2k and then it went to 9k within 4 years..

did you have outstanding debts in 2014?

CCJ'S

Sent out the cca today to link, hoping to get it back in 14 working days then will respond to letter of claim as i will have some time.

BOS only sold debt 11 months ago so im expecting cca to come in.

Im leaning towards defending this case in court worse case, if i lose it i get ccj. Im on low income and have no intention of getting mortgage or anything on credit. Im hoping the judge wont make me pay more than fiver a month.

In total with benefits i only earn around £20k.

Stuff the dca, i went through bankruptcy this cant be hard.

I messed up but my family life is way better now.
