    • Last month was confirmed to be the hottest-ever May on record, in terms of global average temperatures, completing an entire calendar year of month-by-month records.  The average temperature last month was 1.52C above the pre-industrial average, according to the Copernicus Climate Change Service, known as C3S. The average global temperature for the 12-month period to the end of May was 1.63C (2.9F) above the pre-industrial average
    • This time you do need to reply to them with a snotty letter to show you'd be big trouble for them if they did try court. We will help this evening.  
    • Hi, I just wanted to update the post and ask some further advice  I sent the CCA and CPR request on the 14th May, to date I have had no reply to the CCA but I received a load of paperwork from the CPR request a few days ago. I need to file the defence today and from the information I have read the following seems to be what is required.  I would be grateful if some one could confirm suitability. Many thanks   Claim The claim is for the sum of £255.69 due by the Defendant under an agreement regulated by the Consumer Credit Act 1974 for a PayPal account with an account reference of xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx)  The Defendant failed to maintain contractual payments required by the agreement and a Default Notice was served under s.87(1) of the Consumer Credit Act 1974 which has not been complied with. The debt was legally assigned to the claimant on 15-09-21, notice of which has been given to the defendant. The claim includes statutory interest under S.69 of the County Courts Act 1984 at a rate of 8% per annum from the date of assignment to the date of issue of these proceedings in the sum of £0.00. The Claimant claims the sum of £255.69   Defence  The Defendant contends that the particulars of claim are vague and generic in nature. The Defendant accordingly sets out its case below and relies on CPR r 16.5 (3) in relation to any particular allegation to which a specific response has not been made. 1. Paragraph 1 is noted. I have had financial dealings with PayPal  in the past but cannot recollect the account number referred to by the Claimant. 2. Paragraph 2 is denied. I am not aware of service of a Default Notice by the original creditor the Claimant refers to within its particulars of claim.  3. Paragraph 3 is noted. On the 17/5/2024 I requested information related to this claim by way of a Section 77 request, which was received and signed for by the claimant on 20/5/2024. As of today, the Claimant has failed to respond to this request, and therefore remains in default of the section 77 request and therefore unable to enforce any alleged agreement until its compliance. 4. Therefore it is denied with regards to the Defendant owing any monies to the Claimant, and the Claimant is put to strict proof to: (a) Show how the Defendant has entered into an agreement and: (b) Show the nature of the breach and evidence by way of a Default Notice Pursuant to s.87(1) of the Consumer Credit Act 1974. 5. Paypal (Europe) S.A.R.L is out of the juristriction of English Courts. 6. As per Civil Procedure 16.5 it is expected that the Claimant prove the allegation that the money is owed. 7. By reason of the facts and matters set out above, it is denied that the Claimant is entitled to the relief claimed, or any relief.
    • Thanks @dx100ukI followed the advice given on here... then it went very quiet!  The company was creditfix I think then transferred to Knightsbridge (or the other way around) The scammer independent advisor was Roger Wallis-having checked his LinkedIn profile just this morning, it does look like he's still scamming vulnerable people... I know I was stupid for taking his advice, but i do wonder how many others he has done this to over a longer period of time (it came as a  massive shock to him when our IVA suddenly failed). Lowell have our current address (and phone numbers if the rejected calls over the past couple of days is anything to go by!) No point trying the SB because of the correspondence in 2019? Thanks
    • I have received the following letter from BW Legal today.  Also includes form if I admit the debt and wanting my income details.  Do I reply to this LETTER OF CLAIM please?  Looks like they are ready for court now??  Thank You BW Legal - Letter of Claim.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.

i'm wondering if it might pay you to submit a DQ N180 now regardless?

as on that form it asks for available dates within 6mts.

that way, the court legally know you are not available?

Certainly tell te court what your availability or lack of it is there are delays and backlogs so they might schedule for when you know you will be back.

We could do with some help from you.

That's the thing, I may not be back for a while, might be 6 months, could potentially be longer, im not sure right now.

Because the charge is in my mothers name she will end up having to go to court on her own which is not  ideal seeing as she is elderly and disabled. 

These people disgust me, no one goes in that car park unless it is specifically for hospital appointments, and according to their 2022 guide, the fine is not acceptable. They are clearly breaking rules and praying on victims. 

Even though I know PALS will be unable to help me I will fire off an email today just in case, see what happens I guess. According to the previous thread I need to be careful with the wording? Any ideas on how best to go about this?

In the mean time, what is the suggested course of action? Should I still write back to the fleecers now and ask them to actually send what they claim they have sent?

Yes,

Ask for the copy of the contract they didn't supply... and don't be polite about their total incompetence, costing you time and money, which you will claim back in costs if they're stupid enough to do court.

No, don't know what hourly rate is allowed for LIP costs.

You're taking notes of time?

And I've just noticed... you're still using the "fine" word. You'll be upsetting one or two of the regulars! 😅

Ok,

I am sure I read on an older thread £19 an hour? I must have racked up over 15-20 hours worth of research and investigation thus far, including the previous round where I responded to their letter of claim, along with travelling costs to and from the place in question to take photos and assess the area.

I am currently logging around 2 hours a day worth of time and effort into performing for them. It's racking up pretty quickly, I have to go to the post office again today to send the letter I am writing them asking for the items they say they sent but didn't.

All a waste of time as you mentioned, perhaps that will incentivise them to back off. I can keep performing for them, but my time is very valuable, I am happy to perform but I must be compensated for my time and effort, in the same fashion that they are whilst sitting at work sending these invalid demands. That is my opinion, I'm not sure what the general consensus here is though :)

This for PALS, any good??

 

Dear Sir/Madam,

Your parking agent (PARKINGEYE) is threatening court action over an invalid parking charge notice received after a driver parked in Goodmayes hospital with my registered vehicle to attend their appointment.

According to NHS car parking guide 2022, I note that it states the following :

"Additional charges should only be imposed where reasonable and should be waived when overstaying is beyond the driver’s control (such as when treatment takes longer than planned, or when staff are required to work beyond their scheduled shift)."

The drivers appointment was delayed due to whatever reason the NHS gave at the time, lack of staff/ too many patients. It was not the drivers fault they could not leave within the alleged 30 minute time allowance that they say didn't even know they had at the time.

Could you kindly instruct your Parking company to cancel the charge as not only is it invalid but after perusing the site, there were no signs upon entry notifying drivers that they are entering into a restricted area and that terms for parking are in place.

If you need any further information please contact me, I look forward to your assistance.

Kind regards,

I'd remove the parts highlighted in red. (Don't want any clues feeding back to the fleecers).

Don't forget to add the PCN number and Reg.

See what the others think.

Yes, hang on just a mo for different opinions.

Things are getting extremely complicated now with your absence and with your mum being the registered keeper.

One question.  From your draft letter do we take it the person who had the appointment was not your mum?

Might it take pressure off this lady if the driver was named or is this a daft idea?

The problem is that it is far too late for that now HB, given a court case has started.

Work calls now, I'll think about how best to proceed this afternoon and will be back on the forum later.
