    • His financial situation isn’t great, and the landlord has made lots of things up. The things he’s put isn’t true at all. My friend did tell the full truth with incoming and outgoing, I helped him fill in his form and he checked bills etc. to make sure it was right. His wage is ok, but not as good as the landlord thinks it is,  and he doesn’t have anything spare. How much are they likely to take from him? Should he send any reply?  the letter just says to take the court letter with him. 
    • Hi welcome to the Forum.  If a PCN is sent out late ie after the 12th day of the alleged offence, the charge cannot then be transferred from the driver to the keeper.T he PCN is deemed to have arrived two days after dispatch so in your case, unless you can prove that Nexus sent the PCN several days after they claim you have very little chance of winning that argument. All is not lost since the majority of PCNs sent out are very poorly worded so that yet again the keeper is not liable to pay the charge, only the driver is now liable. If you post up the PCN, front and back we will be able to confirm whether it is compliant or not. Even if it is ok, there are lots of other reasons why it is not necessary to pay those rogues. 
    • Hi 1 Date of the infringement  arr 28/03/24 21:00, dep 29/03/24 01.27 2 Date on the NTK  08/04/2024 (Date of Issue) 3 Date received Monday 15/04/24 4 Does the NTK mention schedule 4 of The Protections of Freedoms Act 2012?  Yes 5 Is there any photographic evidence of the event? Yes 6 Have you appealed? [Y/N?] post up your appeal] No  7 Who is the parking company? GroupNexus 8. Where exactly [carpark name and town] Petrol Station Roadchef Tibshelf South DE55 5T 'operating in accordance with the BPA's Code of Practice' I received a Parking Charge letter to keeper on Monday 15/04/24, the 17th day after the alleged incident. My understanding is that this is outside the window for notifying. The issue date was 08/04/2024 which should have been in good time for it to have arrived within the notice period but in fact it actually arrived at lunchtime on the 15th. Do I have to prove when it arrived  (and if so how can I do that?) or is the onus on them to prove it was delivered in time? All I can find is that delivery is assumed to be on the second working day after issue which would have been Weds 10//04/24 but it was actually delivered 5 days later than that (thank you Royal Mail!). My husband was present when it arrived - is a family member witness considered sufficient proof?
    • lookinforinfo - many thanks for your reply. It would be very interesting to get the letter of discontinuance. The court receptionist said that the county court was in Gloucester 'today' so that makes me think that some days it is in Gloucester and some days its in Cheltenham, it was maybe changed by the courts and i was never informed, who knows if DCBL were or not. My costs were a gallon of petrol and £3.40 for parking. I certainly don't want to end up in court again that's for sure but never say never lol. Its utterly disgusting the way these crooks can legally treat motorists but that's the uk for you. I'm originally from Scotland so it's good that they are not enforceable there but they certainly still try to get money out of you. I have to admit i have lost count of the pcn's i have received in the last 2 yr and 4 months since coming to England for work, most of them stop bothering you on their own eventually, it was just this one that they took it all the way. Like i mentioned in my WS the the likes of Aldi and other companies can get them cancelled but Mcdonalds refused to help me despite me being a very good customer.   brassednecked - many thanks   honeybee - many thanks   nicky boy - 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.

Thanks for the input summanotre. Although as i understand it you can't go bankrupt and keep it hidden from other parties in the household as doesn't a receiver visit to access your possessions etc?

 

If that's not the case then that's a possibility or perhaps a DRO if i can reduce the total out standing balance.

 

No, thats not true. Nobody came to visit me. If the debt is yours and yours alone, even if someone else lives with you - it has nothing to do with them.

 

All I had to do was pay the fee (Oh sorry forgot to mention that :|. I dont know how much it is now but when I filed it was £200 which my mum gave me - although I believe that can be reduced or waived depending upon circumstances although Im not 100% sure about that one), then you fill out a financials form and visit the court to see the official receiver and you will get the results through the post.

 

I've noticed sunray001 has pm'd you, so perhaps you will get better advice from them.

I think the fee is £500 now (inflation!) but still an option possibly. I'm going to look into it as im up against a brick wall and even though the Law (CCA1974) is on my side, when financial institutions refuse to acknowledge that fact it's very difficult to move forward without taking Court Action and that would only clear £12k out of £28k. (The rest being properly executed.)

 

At least the creditors wouldn't get anything and that's something i could certainly live with :)

 

Cheers, Davey

If you go down that road (and its really not that bad) make sure you check out The Insolvency Service Website as it will have all the updated information and if it doesnt state anything about whether the fee can be waived, then send them a message and ask.

 

Good luck :)

I am trying to write a book on being in debt.

 

I would appreciate any short comments and peoples experiences in their own words on how debt has effected their health and lives. In particular the stress it causes and what being ignored by Lenders and DCAs when you are trying be responsible has felt like.

 

Only short comments wanted please. Say about 300 word max. No massive letters and i am more interested in the psychological effects and mental state, the frustration and stress that attempts to communicate with creditors has brought, rather than the legal side or section 78 failures etc.

 

I would prefer comments sent via hotmail or yahoo (link on the left of these posts) and not posted on the open forum please and rest assured your name/username will never be quoted. All in strict confidence and for my own use in writing about the subject matter and any information will be changed as to keep any comments i may add to the book as anonymous and not traceable back to any individual in any way.

 

Thanks folks... something may come of it. I may be a rubbish author! If it's not good enough for publication and if i ever finish it i'll post it online for download to try to help those being hounded by the evil doers.

Mis-sale battle takes five years | Mail Online

 

"

How long is it reasonable to wait for a complaint against a bank or building society to be resolved - two months, six months or, at a stretch, a year?

The Financial Ombudsman Service, which adjudicates on consumer complaints, says on average it processes complaints within six months. But when it came to Elizabeth and Keith Birbeck's mortgage endowment mis-selling claim it has taken almost five years for a conclusion to be reached."

 

"

The FOS took almost 18 months to review - and reject - the case. The Birbecks appealed against the decision and by April 2007 a different FOS adjudicator decided that in fact the policy had been mis-sold into retirement and that additional compensation was due.

That should have been an end to the matter, but to the Birbecks' dismay Nationwide appealed. Their case was passed on to an ombudsman, the most senior adjudicator, for a final verdict."

 

"'The most frustrating aspect has been that different staff within FOS have come back with different decisions. This lack of consistency is frustrating.'"

Debt collector complaints on rise ? so what to do if they come calling - Scotsman.com Business

 

"In most cases, according to the FOS, inquiries are followed by a call to the company involved from the ombudsman, and issues are quickly resolved."

In other words, the FOS call up the DCA and they say "we've done nufin gov" and the FOS say "ok thanks for clearing that up then."

First contact i have had from Link Financial (who bought the MBNA accounts) today in the form of a statement. No interest has been applied since being defaulted and no request for payment. Just a statement of account/s.

 

Last communication from them was an invalid default notice (the second one placed on those accounts) last september 2008.

 

No reply will be sent. I'll see if anything else turns up one day.

Davey> In your circumstances why would you bother to pay them a penny, worse they can do is defaults on your credit files, maybe one or more CCJ's but after 6 years they will all be cleared, maybe after 3yrs if this new bill goes through later this year with a change in the Limitations act 1980 from 6yrs to 3 yrs! The more you keep contact with the lenders the 6yr period keeps starting again! They certainly wouldn't waste their time with the big B nor should you make yourself Bankrupt! (its costs a lot of money!

 

After a few years they will all go away and the debts won't be chased due to your circumstances, let some other mug pay them, they are all ev$l best$rds anyway.Once they get a sniff you are paying them they will hound you relentlessly, my advise IGNORE THE LOT Best of luck!

Yes i noticed that this morning. When the banks, judges, government and financial institutions are all in cahoots with each other, went to the same private schools together and lunch together at the golf club every Sunday then you can't expect fairness or impartiality.
