    • 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 Dar£n

 

You're right, part 1 does say,'The particulars of claim do not provide details or particulars of the account in question and/or the precise charges alleged to have been unlawful, or the date thereof. To the extent it is alleged that the Claimant incurred bank charges n the Claimant's account for unauthorised borrowings (whether unpaid feed for returned cheques "paid referral fees" or any other such fees), the defendent puts the claimant to strict proof of each charge and the date thereof.

 

 

Are they saying that they have not rec'd my SOC's which I have sent 3 times already and by recorded delivery!

Jack, if you have not sent an updated SOC to both parties since receiving a copy of their defence send it now by recorded delivery, we all know you have sent it previously but they use it in an attempt to get the claim slung out.

Jack, I would also check with your local court as to whether an AQ fee is payable even though there is no AQ. Apparently some courts are still asking for the fee, and sometimes they haven't told the claimant that it's required. This could result in a hiccup with procedures.

Just ring the court and ask, - if they say 'No fee required' get a name of who told you.

 

Then sit back and wait for a court date - when you get the court date send a gentle nudge letter to Adrian St John - My experience is they'll offer you full settlement about 2-3 weeks before that date. (I've just had my full settlement offer (25 May) and my court date was 12 June.

 

Stick with bit Jack , you're doing fine - it'll work out in the end!

Hi all, just an update so far

 

Still have not heard re' court date so getting rather anxious now as thought I'd hear pretty much straight away.

 

Sent updated SOC's to Adrian St John and local court that hearing has been allocated to, haven't yet rang Court to check if AQ fee required but must do that tomorrow, just had so little time lately.

 

Been reading latest news on Hull court striking out claims - wondering when other courts will follow.........

 

Hope mine not first with my local court, just have to wait and see.

 

Good luck to all with claims, keep fighting on

Hi saintly-1

 

that was a great thread, brill news isn't it?

 

Just when you read a bad one, a successful one pops up too.

 

maybe I'm just a little impatient, has anyone rang their local court and asked for a hearing date yet? I need to ring them to see if I have to submit AQ fee even tho' AQ has been dispensed of..... so if anyone thinks its good midea to ask what happening with my court date, then I willl ask that question too.

 

Just wondering..........

You will still have to pay the £100 fee for the AQ even if it has been dispensed with.

 

When you phone ask when you should expect a date through, i did and was told at the end of June and low and behold a date came through the next day for the 21st June. So dont be afraid to ask, the worst they can say is we are not sure at the moment.

Good luck, hope you get the answer you are looking for

Caz, although they made you pay the fee, it is at the judges discretion whether to request it.

Not everyone has been required to pay the AQ fee Caz, that's why I said in thread 104 to check with the court and if they say not required, get the name of who told you. If you have to pay the fee don't forget to update your SOC before you send it to DG.

 

Jack, there's no harm in asking when you ring the court if they can give you some idea of a date - they're definitely getting busier though, so it's a case of 'more patience' I'm afraid. But you've done well, Jack , the worst is over - a court date is all you need and the rest will follow.

Obviously, they're having to settle the ones which are getting near to court before the others, so the court date is the cruncher!

Stick with it, Jack, you've earned it!

Hi Johnnymitch

 

You're right, I spoke to Court today and they said they had just received notice of transfer of proceedings and when I asked if a court date would be soon they said it would be at the Judges discretion but that I would hear within the next week. I then asked re' AQ fee as on my Notice of Transfer of Proceedings' where it mentions AQ should be completed and returned to my local court was crossed out, when I asked them if a fee was applicable, they said it would also be at Judges discretion and that I would hear regarding everything in about a weeks time, so there, my questions answered all in one go. So, afraid wil just have to sit it all out and wait again.

 

Hope its soon as going on hols in 61/2 weeks time and would like it all over and done with before I go instead of it dragging on.

 

thanks yr input everyone, you are all really supportive and helpful, don't feel I give much input, but still not confident of anything I do so don't feel able to advise anyone at all.

 

thanks again and will keep you all posted when I reach next stage of game!!!

I've always found the courts pretty helpful , Jack, I think they're cheesed off with the banks using them as a stick to beat the poor customers into giving up - but we won't give up, will we?

 

It would be nice to get your money to go on holiday with, - maybe touch and go though, depending on your court date.

 

Just to motivate you further, Jack I can tell you - I got my cheque this morning from Barclays!!!! Eighteen hundred + smackeroonies !!!!!

YIPPEEEE!!!

 

MAKES IT ALL WORTHWHILE EH???:D :D :D

Hang in there, girl, keep in touch - it'll be your turn soon.

Cheers

John

Thats absolutely brill!!! Good for you and well done.

 

It does make it all worthwhile in the end, I can see that. Just when I'm feeling despondent someone comes back with great news like that.

 

 

Congratulations on your win and receiving your cheque today.

 

HAPPY SPENDING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

 

 

 

Thought they put it straight into your accout, or do you get a choice. Would be nice to know?

Just another thought?

 

Should I pm a moderator to let him know of transfer of proceedings to local court, or should I wait until Court date and then inform him?

 

Can't quite remember..............altho' maybe my thread is being watched over???????? (hopefully, for me)

 

 

thanksxx

Thanks ,Jack , I hope that's encouraged you a bit!

 

 

Thought they put it straight into your account, or do you get a choice. Would be nice to know?

 

The account with Barclays was closed in Dec 2004 after they charged £30 on 3 consecutive days - 22,23,and Xmas eve!!

Who said revenge is a dish best served cold?

 

I asked them to pay by cheque - and I can't see any reason for them refusing anyone, unless there's still an excessive overdraft problem.

Has anyone else got any thoughts on this?
