    • sorry I have been confused by Statute Barred meaning. I thought with Statute Barred the debt cannot be chased 6 years after you have stopped paying.  Originally I set up a payment arrangement with all the companies around 2008 when things went horribly wrong. At that time the payment arrangement was with the original creditors.  I still have one of the original creditors who I pay each month (Cap1). I thought that if you make a payment arrangement you have to stick to that situation throughout. Also, MDR (Moorcroft) have been taking a monthly payment on behalf of M & S Bank for about 5 years. When I sent MDR a CCA request I got a copy of the original agreement sent to me directly by M & S Bank about 5 weeks after my CCA request. Sorry for my ignorance but would you suggest I stop paying all including Cap1 who are the original creditor? TIA

    • Dear all, I am hoping for some advice/guidance on this matter. I received a LoC dated 12/04/24 and replied to this on the 2/05/24 disputing claim with the following reasons: 1: [Inadequate Affordability Assessment]: I contend that your institution failed to conduct a thorough assessment of my financial circumstances prior to approving the loan. As a result, the loan amount and repayment terms were not suitable for my income and financial situation. 2: [Unsustainable Repayments]: The repayment schedule imposed by the loan agreement placed an undue burden on my finances, making it impossible for me to meet my other financial obligations without experiencing significant hardship. 3: [Lack of Transparency]: Your institution did not adequately disclose the risks associated with the loan, including any potential increases in interest rates or fees over the loan term. I also added the following: Under the Consumer Credit Act 1974 and the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) regulations, lenders have a legal obligation to conduct thorough affordability assessments and ensure that loan agreements are suitable for borrowers' circumstances. I hereby request that your institution: 1: Conduct a full investigation into my claim of irresponsible lending. 2: Provide me with copies of all documentation related to the loan application and approval process, including affordability assessments, credit checks, and correspondence. 3: Cease all collection activities related to the loan until this matter is resolved. Yesterday i received the attached reply via email and it included: 1: The Original Loan agreement 2: An account statement 3: A copy of a default notice letter. The email included a link for a direct debit set up page where you enter their reference and your bank account details (looks like a standard D/D set up page) but there is nothing to indicate the amount of the D/D that I might be agreeing to. I also think two days response time is not long enough to appropriately reply. Any thoughts appreciated   Email-compressed.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.

UKCPS - NO STOPPING PARKING CHARGE - Gateway House Picadilly Manchester Stay City Aparthotels


Recommended Posts

Following my sat nav I entered the road leading to the car park.

I reached a dead end and was unsure of where my allocated parking was.

I did a u- turn checked my phone and realised where the staycity aparthotels carpark was.

I am a Londoner and was completely confused as there was another parking area in this compound.

I had pre booked my parking starting from 3pm for 24 hours please see my receipt.

I arrived in the car park at around 545pm.

UKCPS sent me a reminder letter which I just opened saying I owe £130.

The picture on the charge are 1 minute apart.

There were no signs of no stopping where I was, no markings on the floor.

I had every right to be there. 

If I entered the wrong car park I could have been charged so I had to make sure. 

please what do I do this is the first letter I’ve received, its not even in my name its addressed to the registered keeper.

I’m scared as I do not want my credit profile to be affected.

They said the registered keeper cannot appeal due to 21 days lapsing. 

can YourParkingSpace Help me as I booked with them? 

should I appeal?

should I contact UKCPS to inform them I was the driver? And I didn’t receive their initial letter?

please help me this is affecting my mental health.

  • PEACEKING changed the title to UKCPS - NO STOPPING PARKING CHARGE - Gateway House Picadilly Manchester Stay City Aparthotels

Hi Peaceking and welcome to CAG.

It's a rather confused explanation you're giving us.

You've received a letter that's not actually addressed to you??

Could you please upload the letter you've got and we'll take it from there.

We could do with some help from you.

Ok Peaceking,

Our usual advice is to ignore anything else they send UNLESS it's a letter of/before claim.

We've around 30 of these cases on the forum and UKCPS have never had the courage to take it to court yet...

https://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/search/?&q="Gateway House"&type=forums_topic&quick=1&nodes=65&search_and_or=or&sortby=relevancy

In your case it's doubly important not to appeal. You could lose useful legal protection under POFA2012 legislation.

Basically, UKCPS should sue the driver. If they don't know who was driving, they can transfer liability to the keeper (Dad), IF they get everything right paperwork wise.

You're probably going to have to explain this to Dad. No response to UKCPS whatsoever, unless a letter of claim arrives (unlikely).

We could do with some help from you.

If you do a search on the forum you'll see we have about 100,000 threads for this site.

In not one case have UKCPS have the guts to do court.

Your credit file can't be affected unless UKCPS take you to court, then win the court case and after you defy the court and don't pay so get a CCJ.  None of that is going to happen.

EDIT: just seen Nick has already explained all this.  Anyway, he 's right!

We could do with some help from you.

If the PCN reminder is the only one your father has received it would be best to get him to send an sar to UKCPS so that you can get the original PCN. That is the important one since if they don't get the wording right they cannot transfer the charge from the driver to the keeper. 

This would be the best outcome for the two of you. they cannot pursue your Father and they do not know your name and address. Happy days.

How likely is it that they have got it wrong?

The Protection of Freedoms Act 2012 Schedule 4 [which governs the private parking companies ] has only been in force for about 12 years so you would have thought that they could have managed to get the wording right by now.  You would be wrong.

Time and again we see constant examples of PCNs that do not comply with the Act so the keeper is no longer liable to pay  which is why we advise motorists not to appeal.

It is all too easy to reveal that the keeper was also the driver and once the parking rogues know who the driver is they can then take them to Court.

  • 3 weeks later...

pdf sorted and back up.

if you'd been reading up in the last 3weeks instead of just disappearing ......

you would have already known that a DCA can do nothing on ANY debt, no matter what its TYPE. and to await and see if you ever get a letter of claim. till then sit on yours hands.

A DCA is NOT a bailiff 

and have ZERO legal powers.

dx

 

 

please don't hit Quote...just type we know what we said earlier..

DCA's view debtors as suckers, marks and mugs

NO DCA has ANY legal powers whatsoever on ANY debt no matter what it's Type

and they

are NOT and can NEVER  be BAILIFFS. even if a debt has been to court..

If everyone stopped blindly paying DCA's Tomorrow, their industry would collapse overnight...

As your first PCN was a Notice to Driver which would have been followed by a Notice to keeper over a month later [even though it may only state Parking Charge notice] it is even more necessary to send PE an SAR.

If either document fails to comply with the Protection of Freedoms Act  2012 Schedule 4 then both you and your father are in the clear.

So you do not need to worry about is any paperwork from unregulated debt collectors and fifth rate solicitors.

The only thing to look out for is a Letter of Claim and all you have to do is respond with a snotty letter back to them .

Just to check.  Is there an obvious reason why your father didn't get the original letter?  Has he moved recently?
