    • Hi everyone, Thanks for the responses. Just a few follow up questions in light of what's been said:   If I dont appeal to PPM, who can I appeal to?   Why should the PCN been attached to the windscreen? Is this written in law?   I assumed the document I had received was the NTK, if this is not the case, what does a NTK look like?   Regarding the compliance with the Protection of Freedoms Act, could the "period" of parking not be argued either way? The legislation doesnt state it must have a start/end time of parking, which I assumed an ANPR camera would pick up if it had one. Is 4 minutes not technically enough to show the vehicle was parked?    Thanks !

    • 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.

Hi again Jack,

Glad to be of help - I'm not an expert, but I've been as far down the line as MCOL(Money claims online).

 

 

Just give them 14 actual days, they know the score!

 

Of late they seem to be playing brinkmanship i.e. going to 'acknowledgement' on the court system, but that's a fair bit down the line for you yet, - take it one step at a time. Hold your nerve and you won't go far wrong.

Hi, just had another charge taken from a different account. My own stupidity as didn't cancel a DD that should have been cancelled due to a switch around in accounts. Could kick myself! Got straight on phone to Barclaycall after waiting in queue for 10 mins, explained my problem, lovely lady who seemed to sympathize, she went away to seek advice only to get cut off after 5 mins. Rang back and waited another 10 mins in queue, got through to a call centre and had to explain again from start to finish, this stroppy woman sid due to it being my fault, there would be no refund of the £35. By the way, shd have expl. in full at beg. that this DD went out this am then bounced back today and charge went on all in same day!!!!, no prior notice, warning or letter, in fact, sweet bugger all. have lodged a formal complaint with her and shd get feedback within 5 days according to her, well stroppy she was, even tho' I went thru' "its illegal etc... etc....."

 

Will have to sit this out and await their reply, well sick now. Had this particular account for about 15 years and never once gone into red with it. Don't even have an overdraft on it, bloody cheek of them.

 

That mad on phone nearly got lost for words, need advice for when they ring back please.... anyone????

 

thanks a lot in advance!!!!!

Hi Jack,

 

I think I would treat this as a different ball-game. Wait and see if they come back with anything from your complaint.

 

I don't know,but maybe your account was flagged because you've got action going on the other one - and as soon as you defaulted - Bang!

 

You see, I believe it's easier for them to close your account if you've got two actions running (they claim irretrievable breakdown of rapport or relationship). Maybe that's their game. However, think of it this way, if you go to court on the big one and do them for 8% interest as well, that will more than cover your £35.

 

Anyone else got any input on this, - this is just my opinion, for what its worth?:-|

 

Cheers

John

Hi claire

When did that ruling appear - that you can include your 8% in the LBA?

I suppose you can if you like, but will it have any relevance till you start court proceedings?

Just curious, I'm past that stage now.;)

Cheers

John

""getting rather edgy now as thought I'd be first to be refused point blank""

All you need to do is thank them for the offer, which you accept only as part payment and inform them that you will continue your actions in order to recover the full amount plus interest and costs incurred.

what Im saying is find the most suitable letter of rejection and amend it to match your requirements, just put in it what you want to say, these templates are not meant to be word perfect for everyone.

Hi Jack G

Try something like this:

 

Thank you for your letter of xx xxx xx .

 

I respectfully decline your offer of settlement and request, once again that youreturn to me all charges imposed on this account. A further breakdown is enclosed for ease of reference.

 

I wiil accept the £xxxxx offered only as part settlement and on the clear understanding that I will pursue the recovery of the remainder, through the Small Claims Court if necessary.

 

I trust this clarifies my position.

 

Yours etc.............."

 

Enclose a further copy of your schedule of charges - just to reiterate your claim - menawhile ,it is up to you whether you start MCOL immediately - they've had their 14 days as far as I'm concerned - this derisory offer was a delaying tactic

 

Best of Luck - stick with it , you'll get there in the end!:cool:

Have another read of your post No. 37 on this thread, then decide if you want to give them extra time to mess you about. If you start proceedings you can always stop them again if they cough up, but by that time interest comes into play as well (and refund of court costs).

 

PS . I'm not a legal expert, Jack , far from it, but I've just received full settlement from HSBC(with interest and costs!) and I'm waiting for a court date for Barclays - the AQ deadline was 30 March and they submitted theirs on 29th! It's just a case of following procedures and don't let them distract you!

Advice required on MCOL. If I proceed to claim on MCOL which is based at Northampton, does it mean that I would have to attend that Court should Barclays wish to defend, or does my claim get passed to my local court for them to deal with.

 

Does anyone know this please?????????
