    • The postcode is an important point. You cannot be in two postcodes at the same time and the contract only covers the F area and not the E area where Met placed your car. See there is some   advantages in with idiots.🙂 The other fact about the electric spaces is that as you are not allowed to park there, the sign is prohibitory so cannot  offer a contract anyway. and another biggie in your favour is you were not the driver and the PCN does not comply with PoFA. I had another look yesterday at the PCN and there is another error since it does not say that the driver is responsible to pay the charge during the first 28 days. Schedule 4 Section 9 [2][b] (b)inform the keeper that the driver is required to pay parking charges in respect of the specified period of parking and that the parking charges have not been paid in full; so that is another nail in their coffin and it s something I would include in  your WS since that is one that every Judge would accept as a failure to comply. As far as their WS is concerned some of them leave it to the last minute to prevent Defendants being able to counteract their claims. However if they leave it too late [ie after the stipulated time] you can email yours to the Court on the last day and complain at the bottom of your WS that you have not received it and therefore you are asking the Court not to accept their WS. In your case it isn't that important since you have a virtual walkover in Court. I would be surprised if they don't concede beforehand. It is a lost cause for them. Not that I would advocate parking in their electric bay in future with a petrol driven car again.🙂
    • I think the post code 0 v O is nonsense personally and would just annoy the judge.  Cases are decided informally at small claims and judges are not interested in the weakest of trivialities. Understood re FY v EY.  So add to the Unfair PCN section that the PCN includes the wrong post code and places you at a residential area rather than the car park in question. You should wait till 7 June before filing your WS - as a Litigant-in-Person you wont't be penalised for being a day late - to see if MET's WS turns up.  It will also give you a chance to see if they have paid the hearing fee.  If it doesn't turn up you can attack them for defying court directions.  If it does turn up you can ridicule their arguments.  Win win. Also you can see if they have bottled it - which they have done with the last two cases we have here. I think the exact points of your WS have become a tad confusing - and I have heartily contributed to the confusion! - so can you please add the latest version.

    • Thank you Dave for jumping in yesterday and advising not to send off the letter I wrote. I am sorry Clou but I thought at the time that both car parks were owned by Alliance. Before doing a snotty letter does anyone in your family able to alos drive your car apart from yourself and are you the keeper?
    • Thanks for this. UPS never said they delivered to the wrong address. Tracking just showed as delivered. EBay couldn’t find it for weeks and then said they found it and it had chocolate in it. Something clearly doesn’t add up here.
    • Try to think things through logically & legally - the two go together as the civil court system in England is pretty decent and easy to get your head round. 1.  Say you & I got into legal dispute.  Who could sue who?  Well I could sue you and you could sue me.  My next-door neighbour couldn't sue you and your best mate couldn't sue me because the case would have nowt to do with them.  The same goes for a DCA.  It's not their debt.  They can do nothing. 2.  Of course a DCA can't affect your credit score.  If they could, then there would be nothing stopping you picking on someone you dislike, saying they owed you a billion pounds, and affecting their credit score.  Logically there must be more to it than some daft allegation.  CCJs are issued and credit scores wrecked after a judge has decided on the matter and the losing party has still refused to pay.  With nine grand in play the matter will not magically go away but you need to gen up and seperate daft threats from paper tigers from concrete threats which could really cause you trouble. The others are right - you need to inform the original creditor of your address in order to avoid a backdoor CCJ. Also, why did you decide not to sue UPS who have admitted to delivering to the wrong address which in turn led to the theft of your goods?

    • 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.

Please move this to the correct forum as I couldn’t find a where to post it.

 

Today I received a HMRC Letter of Engagement from Hidenda Tax In respect of Marriage Allowance.

 

Neither my wife nor I have ever contacted them or given them any information, the property address is correct and also the date of marriage is correct, the letter is not addressed to anyone in any of their correspondence.

 

Their T&Cs state that they will charge a fee of £250 + VAT if I fail to give them access to any and all information. Do I ignore this letter as I am pretty sure it’s a scam. 
 

many thanks for your time and look forward to your reply .

I have never heard of this particular company but there are lots of parasite companies about doing this sort of stuff.

 

Don't have anything to do with any of them. If you want to reclaim marriage allowance, or any other tax reclaim, just call HMRC and deal with them direct. Free and (relatively) quick. The parasite companies can't do it any quicker.

 

Funny thing about the reviews these parasite companies have. The negative ones are detailed and convincing. The 5 star ones are short and bland and look as if they have been faked by a bot.

 

I would return the letter with a covering note just saying "I have no idea why you have sent me this. I have never heard of you and do not have or want any business relationship with you."

 

Keep a copy of your letter to them and preferably get a free proof of posting from the post office. 

 

Did you ever browse their site?

Thanks Ethel Street, no, never browsed their site until today trying to find out any info.

 

I am not actually a UK resident, though I do own the property they sent their communication to,

 

though my wife’s or my name is shown on any of the paperwork they sent, just the property address, which in itself is very fishy.

 

The worrying thing is that got my marriage date correct.

Ok, thanks. These companies have form for becoming aggressive and legally threatening even when they have no justification at all for their demands. So just make sure you keep copies of everything and get whatever proof of posting is available in the country you are in. Just in case you need it later.

 

Come back here if you ever hear from them again.

Exactly, as you say, they are unable to start proceedings against a house. They will never get any information from me or my wife, whatever they may say they will do.I have been doing research regarding this company. Not a good word for them from anyone.  I was thinking of sending the letters back, signed by Noddy and Big Ears but sensibility came over me and I decided against it.

Well know scam .

 

Simply ignore everything.

I think if you look on the HMRC website there is a warning about these companies 

 

Just to nail the coffin, there is nothing they can do to you anyway ... 

And even if HMRC wanted too , they don't farm it out!!

There's a section about Hidenda in this Daily Mail expose if you scroll down

 

Many readers reported receiving letters threatening court action from Hidenda Tax Limited. Most had spotted an advert online for a 'free check', offering to find out whether they were entitled to a marriage tax allowance refund. - fyi dx edit

Thanks Ethel, makes very interesting reading.

 

Just had a thought, all my tax affairs are handled in the country that I live in. As I do not pay tax in the UK i do not have a personal allowance here. Therefore I am unable to claim for marriage allowance here. I think that I am right saying that?

i would suggest? as your are a renter of a uk rental?, this might well be down to one of your renters?

nothing to do with you at all. 

 

they clicked a link like above, the scammers searched the deeds on the property, but realised the details inputted on their form didn't match the owners on the deeds  ...hence they gave no details on the envelope...but gave details on their deeds search seeing if someone would bite?.....

 

ignore anyway
