    • Will get them done asap My job changes week to week so at the time I didn’t know. 
    • 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

    • 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 doubt it, and them not getting it by the minute is immaterial.. you are a Litigant in person (joe public against the system) a certain leeway is always given,. if there were judgement, it would show.

i think kearns (as they do) are pulling a fast one to scam you. 

they can see mcol too. so..

nothing unusual for link/kearns...worst scammers/ fleecers out there,

if you wish you could ring northants bulk and check.

Today, after 4 wasted lunch-hours (Why does HMCTS only open normal office hours when we are all trying to earn money at the same time to pay off the debts?!!!) I finally got through.

They confirmed no such action has been entered against me, no CCJ and all I have done so far is above board and recorded.

Kearns have yet to respond to my defence.

So, scammers/fleecers they seem to be then.

Hi All, 

Hope everyone is well. It's been a while, but just had an A4 envelope thud on the doormat today. 

Looks like the game's up and I will have to sort out a repayment of some sort.

Kearns have considered my defence which I 'filled' (and they spelled that wrong twice!) and their client "does sympathise with my situation", but they have kindly "offered me the opportunity to settle the matter without the need for further court action"

In response to me requesting copies of the original documentation, they have also sent those. I don't seem to have the original Notice of Assignment which is unusual as I am careful with filing my documents. 

So, short of paying the full amount owed, plus costs accrued so far, is there any other avenue I can explore?

why do you keep thinking your game is up everytime you get a threat-o-gram.:noidea::nono:

what you have is a very std letter sent for every claim.

the claim is stayed  and will cost them upto £275 to lift the stay....

they say they enclosed:

a Credit Card Application and Terms and Conditions  - NOPE they have NOT.

all they have done is included 2 sets of Terms and conditions with your name and address (is this the correct address for 18/07/2006?) at the top.

there's no dates on either of them, no signature from you on either and no signature or stamp from BC accepting the agreement on either  even if they were agreements...

they could have come out of Links filing cabinet and they inserted your details themselves . but eitherway neither are an enforceable Consumer Credit Agreement.

from page 12 there are two 2 pages of the well known 6620000000 T&C's which lost Hoist Uk lost SOOO many court claim over, that are well documented here , 30+ pages are missing but that is irrelevant.  type in 66200000 or claimform hoist barclaycard here and you'll see why.

Hoist UK are another DCA that raised so many BC claimforms that failed that their main group owner sold the uk branch off to another DCA as they lost so much money for the group in buying a portfolio of old BC debts they could never win on as NO paperwork ever existed. BC do not keep signed agreements and never have. 

see. PRA Letter of Claim - now Fast Track claimform - old barclaycard debt - now n244 - Page 6 - Financial Legal Issues - Consumer Action Group

just like the below stunt.

Hi All,

I've just had the inevitable N24 and other paperwork arrive. I've read other examples on here and I think I understand the steps to follow. I have until the 28th May to return the N180 Small Claims Direction Questionnaire, I also have an N244 Application notice copy.

I read an update on a case you kindly put a link in for me to read. Turns out they lost in court and are now struggling. I really don't want to get to that stage and am thinking mediation may be the way forward? Thoughts please?

Pretty sure I've missed the 7 days to have the order set aside

For reference, this is what I received:

Dated 8th May

Before Deputy District Judge Baker sitting at the Civil National Business Centre, 4th Floor St Katharine's House, 21-27 St Katharine's Street, Northampton, NN1 2LH

 
The Court will deal with the application to lift the stay without hearing under CPR 23.8(c)
 
It is ordered that:
 
The Application to lift the stay and for direction questionnaires to be issued is granted.
 
Because this Order has been made without a hearing, the parties have the right to apply to have the Order set aside, varied or stayed. A party making such an application must send or deliver the application to the court (together with any appropriate fee) to arrive within seven days of service of this Order. If the application is one which requires a hearing, and
 
a) the party making the application is the Defendant; and
b) the Defendant is an individual,
 
then upon the filing of the application the claim will be transferred to the Defendant's home court. In all other cases requiring a hearing the claim will be transferred to the preferred court.

FYI I've had a copy from Kearns arrive today of the DQ from the claimant agreeing to referral to the Small Claims Mediation Service and without a hearing.

I am a bit wary of the two replies above from you both.

Which is the most relevant and most urgent to action?

I'm away from Sunday the 19th to Wednesday 22nd working abroad and am conscious there's a bank holiday the day before the deadline so it doesn't give me much time to collate and post relevant paperwork either to you or the parties involved.

Do I just fill in the N180 and post? 

Apologies for my ignorance, It's out of my comfort zone!

Also my case seems to be over the £10k barrier?

Need to get your DQ in - it's your opportunity to have a say in what happens next!

It should then transfer to local court, who will look at the DQs and determine next actions.

Fairly self-explanatory and there are guidance notes on the site here.

My Asset/Link/Kearns case was reviewed a couple of weeks ago after transferring to local court and they have been ordered to provide a new CPR-compliant Particulars of Claim, Original Agreement, Deed of Assignment and Notice of Assignment. They have six weeks to comply or it's struck out. As with your case they are relying on a generic print out of an agreement with no personal details or signature.

Don't give the courts a chance to make any decisions without your input and get that N180/N181 in!

Your call as to whether you want mediation - given the lack of evidence from them there is probably no point as you can't mediate an account that appears not to exist.

Thank you. 

I have filled them out, about to post. D1 answered as 'No' as per dx100uk's reply.

Does it make any difference that Kearns haven't filled any of my copy of the N180 out other than the 'CNBC' and the claim reference, out of interest?
