    • 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
    • hi all just got the reminder letter, I have attached it and also the 2nd side of the original 1st pcn (i just saw the edit above) Look forward to your advice Thanks   PCN final reminder.pdf pcn original side 2.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.

great thank you .. got there in the end.

the only D section you fill will be D1.

i'll be updating this sticky:

What To Do - Simple Procedure Rule Claims Scotland updated 2024 - Scotland Financial Legal Issues - Consumer Action Group

later tonight, probably in the early hours, it will be ready for you to use in the morning, 

1 final question , under d1 it says, you can use a sep sheet if not enough room (there wont be enough!) , i will gather there is a portal stated on the website by d1 to do so?

do they state a format to use like pdf or doc(x)? and are there instructions upon how you must name such uploads ..ie claim number , claimant/defendant, court name, date?

i have updated the response sticky now.

https://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/topic/402263-what-to-do-simple-procedure-rule-claims-scotland-updated-2024/

in your case...where it states in the response to a credit card claim

The court will be aware that penalty charges

enter before that line/paragraph this addition paragraph:

......................starts.......

The Claimant in their form 3a Section E4 hereby stated:

5. It was a term of said agreement that a failure to meet any payment on a due date would render the account in default and would entitle the claimant to serve a notice of default on the respondent requiring the respondent to remedy the breach within 14 days failing which the agreement would be terminated. 

 

6. On or around 31/07/2020 the respondent failed to make a payment of a sum which had fallen due and the said account entered into default. A default Notice was issued to the respondent on 31/07/2020.

7. The respondent failed to remedy the default following upon service of the said notice and the account was accordingly terminated in accordance with that notice. The account remains in default.

The Claimant could not have issued a default notice to the respondent on said date of 31/07/2020.

As in box E1 Section 2 the Claimant clearly states:

2. By virtue of a debt purchase agreement (“the agreement “) between the claimants and NewDay Ltd. (“the original owner”) dated 23/10/2020.

Under the Consumer Credit Act 1974 only the Owner of a debt can issue a Default Notice.

The claimant by their own admission did not own the debt until 23/10/2020.

.......ends..........

Final question before I hit “submit” to the court.

Looking for your confirmation as I don’t want a last minute mistake 
 

1. Cut & pasted a pdf starting with this paragraph : 

As a respondent I specifically make reference to the Simple Procedure Rules 2016 in so far as my understanding is that:

2. Inserted the paragraph as you said in #31 just above this line The court will be aware that penalty charges

This is now attached as pdf on the court response portal. 
I think I am good to submit but just double checking 

Also a CCA request was sent today  

thank you again

Here is the order. 
……..
The respondent has indicated to the court that this claim will be disputed.


The sheriff has considered the claim form and the response form and has given the following orders:

The claimant is ordered to lodge and intimate the following no later than 19 April 2024:

  • - signed Consumer Credit Agreement;
  • - notice of assignation;
  • - default notice issued by the original creditor; and
  • - detailed statement of the account and how, with specific reference to additional interest added because of late / no payment, and any additional penalty fees or interest added, that has resulted in the balance now claimed.

Settlement and negotiation

The claimant and the respondent are encouraged to contact each other to seek to settle the case or to narrow the issues in dispute, before the case management discussion.

If the case is settled before the case management discussion date then the claimant must send an Additional Orders Application to the court immediately telling the court what should happen next in the case (for example, to cancel the case management discussion and dismiss the case)


Case management discussion

The sheriff would like to discuss this case with both parties. Both parties are therefore ordered to attend a case management discussion in the sheriff court.

The purpose of a case management discussion is to allow the sheriff to discuss the claim and response with both parties and to clarify any concerns which the sheriff has.

At the case management discussion, the sheriff will also discuss with both parties their attitudes to negotiation and alternative dispute resolution.

At the case management discussion, the sheriff may give both parties orders in person arranging a hearing at which the case will be considered and their dispute resolved.

The sheriff may make a decision at a case management discussion.

Date
Both parties are ordered to attend the case management discussion on 26 April 2024 at 10:00am by WebEx.

At the case management discussion, the sheriff expects both parties to be prepared to discuss the case and to have an open and constructive attitude to the possibility of negotiation or alternative dispute resolution.


Signed by: Sheriff

thanks

Got a letter back from the Glasgow office collections agency saying they have received a request for a copy of the CCA.  They say they have raised this with Lowell and once received they will issue in post. 
 

I posted this to Lowell Leeds office. Just wondering how this has appeared there with them  


Also I note from their letter that the balance is higher than stated on the claim. 
 

thanks

obv i'm aware of walkerlove but more in their role whereby most Scottish court claims are delivered by hand, by sheriff officers.

though it's not unsurprising they have a DCA role, i was not aware not can i find, a link to the lowell group.

this is also the 1st scottish claim by lowells we've ever seen

so there we go.

Are these the important pages I need to upload ?

1.  pages 1-4 are court form 10a

2.  2 pages of the CCA agreement 

3.  Default notice from NewDay, 22/02/20

4.   Lowell letter stating they own debt ,     Dated 16/11/20

5. Unheaded letter also dated 16/11/20 from NewDay saying they assigned “all of the respective rights etc,”  to Lowell on 23/10/20

I make this 9 relevant pages from what I can see  

( all other pages are statements/default notes and lots of FCA info sheets)

just needing your confirmation in advance as I don’t want to send over pages that are not required

thank you

DN is ok

DCA NOA is ok, though not one from Newday saying they've sold it.

agreement states esigned on a sunday at 11am?? really?? 

but no typed names or tick box nor any IP address used.

if the date is correct then poss ok,

it that your correct address for that time of take out?

but if not, then that could simply be a copy of someone elses they've used with you details copy'n'pasted over theirs.

the agreement details separate T&C's in at least 8.4.

a full set of T&C containing your correct address for the time MUST be included.

failure renders the agreement unenforceable... have you the T&C's too?

Address was correct at the time of take out

The time of esign is strange (at church on Sunday ) as is no the no name/tickbox/ip address etc. 

There are 2 pages of T&Cs but no name/address showing on them. These two pages show paragraphs which are not in order, different font and appear in landscape form. Looks different font to CCA pages and with no numbers/references on these pages
