    • Hi Just to be clear a Notice to Quit is only the very start of the Housing Association going down the Eviction route there is a long process to go. Also to be clear if you leave at the Notice to Quit date only and go to the Council claiming you are Homeless they will more than likely class you as Intentionally Homeless therefore you have no right to be given temporary housing by the Council. The only way that works is when the Court has Granted a Possession Order then you can approach the Council as Homeless with the Court Order. As for the Housing Association issuing the Notice to Quit because there investigation has proved it's not your main residence but you have witness statement to prove otherwise. From now on with the Housing Association you need to keep a very good paper trail and ensure to get free proof of posting from the post office with anything you send to them. You now need to make a Formal Complaint to the Housing Association and please amend the following to suit your needs:   Dear Sir/Madam FORMAL COMPLAINT Reference: Notice to Quit Letter Dated XX/XX/2024, Hand Delivered on XX/XX/2024 I note in your letter that you stated that the Housing Association has carried out an investigation into myself and came to the conclusion that I am not using this property as my main residence and have evidence of this and have therefore issued a 'Notice to Quit' by XX/XX/2024. I find the above actions absolutely disgraceful action by the Housing Association. 1. Why have I never been informed nor asked about this matter by my Housing Officer. 2. Why have I never been given the opportunity to defend myself before the Housing Association out of the blue Hand Delivered a Notice to Quit Letter. 3. I have evidence and witnesses/statements that prove this is my Main Residence and more than willing provide this to both the Housing Association and the Court. I now require the following: 1. Copy of your Complaints Policy (not the leaflet) 2. Copy of your Customer Care Charter (not the leaflet) 3. Copies of your Investigation into this not being my main residence.    As well as the above you need to send the Housing Association urgently a Subject Access Request (SAR) requesting 'ALL DATA' that simple phrase covers whatever format they hold that in whether it be letters, email, recorded calls etc. The Housing Association then has 30 calendar days to respond but that time limit only starts once they acknowledge your SAR Request. If they fail to respond within that time limit its then off with a complaint to the Information Commissioners Office (ICO).     
    • Hi Sorry for the delay in getting back to you The email excuse and I do say excuse to add to your account and if court decide LL can't recoup costs will be removed is a joke. So I would Ask them: Ask them to provide you with the exact terms within your Tenancy Agreement that allows them to add these Court Fees to your Account before it has been decided in Court by a Judge. Until the above is answered you require these Court Fees to be removed from your Account (Note: I will all be down to your Tenancy Agreement so have a good look through it to see what if any fees they can add to your account in these circumstances)
    • Thank you for your responses. As requested, some more detail. Please forgive, I'm writing this on my phone which always makes for less than perfect grammar. My Dad tries but English not his 1st language, i'm born and bred in England, a qualified accountant and i often help him with his admin. On this occasion I helped my dad put in his renewal driving licence application around 6 weeks before expiry and with it the disclosure of his sleep apnoea. Once the licence expired I told him to get in touch with his GP, because the DVLA were offering only radio silence at that time (excuses of backlogs When I called to chase up). The GP charged £30 for an opinion letter on his ability to drive based on his medical history- at the time I didn't take a copy of the letter, but I am hoping this will be key evidence that we can rely on as to why s88 applies because in the GP opinion they saw no reason he couldn't drive i need to see the letter again as im going only on memory- we forwarded the letter in a chase up / complaint to the DVLA.  In December, everything went quiet RE the sleep apnoea (i presume his GP had given assurance) but the DVLA noticed there had been a 2nd medical issue in the past, when my father suffered a one off mini stroke 3 years prior. That condition had long been resolved via an operation (on his brain of all places, it was a scary time, but he came through unscathed) and he's never had an issue since. We were able to respond to that query very promptly (within the 14 days) and the next communication was the licence being granted 2 months later. DVLA have been very slow in responding every step of the way.  I realise by not disclosing the mini stroke at the time, and again on renewal (had I known I'd have encouraged it) he was potentially committing an offence, however that is not relevant to the current charge being levied, which is that he was unable to rely on s88 because of a current medical issue (not one that had been resolved). I could be wrong, I'm not a legal expert! The letter is a summons I believe because its a speeding offence (59 in a temp roadworks 50 limit on the A1, ironically whist driving up to visit me). We pleaded guilty to the speeding but not guilty to the s87.  DVLA always confirmed to me on the phone that the licence had not been revoked and that he "May" be able to continue to drive. They also confirmed in writing, but the letter explains the DVLA offer no opinion on the matter and that its up to the driver to seek legal advice. I'll take the advice to contact DVLA medical group. I'm going to contact the GP to make sure they received the SAR request for data, and make it clear we need to see a copy of the opinion letter. In terms of whether to continue to fight this, or to continue with the defence, do we have any idea of the potential consequences of either option? Thanks all
    • stopping payments until a DN arrives does not equal automatic sale to a DCA...if you resume payments after the DN.  
    • Sleep apnoea: used to require the condition  to be “completely” controlled Sometime before June 2013 DVLA changed it to "adequately" controlled. I have to disagree with MitM regarding the effect of informing DVLA and S.88 A diagnosis of sleep apnoea doesn't mean a licence wont be granted, and, indeed, here it was. If the father sought medical advice (did he?) : this is precisely where S.88 applies https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/64edcf3a13ae1500116e2f5d/inf1886-can-i-drive-while-my-application-is-with-dvla.pdf p.4 for “new medical condition” It is shakier ground if the opinion of a healthcare professional wasn’t sought. in that case it is on the driver to state they believed they met the medical standard to drive. However, the fact the licence was then later granted can be used to be persuasive that the driver’s belief they met the standard was correct. What was the other condition? And, just to confirm, at no point did DVLA say the licence was revoked / application refused? I’d be asking DVLA Drivers’ Medical Group why they believe S.88 doesn’t apply. S.88 only applies for the UK, incidentally. If your licence has expired and you meet the conditions for S.88 you can drive in the U.K., but not outside the U.K.

    • 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.

would this be the tel no of rossendales by any chance 01706 833772? They had my mother in hysterics today , ringing her up at home threatening demanding to know who was driving the car etc. Say they will send somebody round - debt collector? bailiff? she was too distressd to be sure.They insist she is legally liable - a phone call to the traffic police - advice without prejudice is that the owenr is only liable in criminal law . sadly the police cant do them for harrassment so going to see a 30 min solicitor. Looks like the parasites are getting wise to the forums and tightening the screw

 

On one of the threads t read ages ago there was a list of legal bodies you can repart them to . Can anybody send me a link

Let me just say a big to thanks to everyone that has posted here. every time i read this forum it is like getting a fresh tank of free petrol on this nauseating journey that UKPC and Rossendales are taking me on. i just thought i would share the last letter i sent Rossendales. they contacted me by phone.. and as yet havent replied in writing even though i sent this letter.

 

Rossendales Collection Limited

Hardman Mill,

New Hall Hey Road,

Rawtenstall,

Rossendale,

Dear Sir or Madam

Your company has contacted me by telephone regarding the matter of an alleged debt that has been passed on to you from UK

Parking Control (UKPC Ref: 05803xxxx). Let me reiterate in writing what I established during that conversation:

It is my absolute assertion that I am liable for no charge whatsoever on this matter. I have well documented communication with UK

Parking Control Limited (hereafter UKPC) that demonstrates that the charge they have given me is in error and that I have disputed

the ‘charge’ consistently in writing with them. Over several letters that I sent to UKPC I addressed the fact that I bore no fault and at

no time has UKPC attempted to communicate with me in any way that acknowledges my arguments. No contract of any kind was

entered into and no court has ruled me to be liable for any damage or lost business. Passing this alleged debt/charge on to your

company before such a ruling is premature and wilful act that will cause me stress and upset. In short I know this charge to be

unwarranted, unenforceable and illegal and it is being pursued in a manner that I believe to be harassment. At this time I am

exploring my avenues of complaint against UKPC. I am also considering charging UKPC (or any company that assumes this alleged

debt) for the significant amount of time that this situation is forcing me to dedicate to drafting letters of a legal nature. Please

contact me in writing as soon as possible specifically stating that you have received this letter quoting my reference (Ref:

0311Charge) and that you understand and address these 6 positions that I hold with your company. Failure to do so will be regarded

as acceptance.

1. That I believe this to be an alleged debt/charge that has been given in error and that it is unwarranted, unenforceable and illegal

and that I am liable for no payment to UKPC or any agency that attempts to collect the alleged debt/charge on behalf of UKPC or any

third party.

2. That I dispute this alleged debt/charge with UKPC and I have made Rossendales fully aware of this.

3. That I have given written defence to UKPC and passed copies of these communications on to Rossendales, and that any further

acts by Rossendales is made in full knowledge of this communication. (e.g.: Ref.0310Charge and 0037Charge )

4. That no written or verbal contract has been entered into or existed between UKPC and Philip XXXXXXX and that the claim of

UKPC is one of alleged damages for which they assert a ‘charge’ exists, and that no UK court has made a ruling on this alleged

debt/charge as of the date of this letter and any action Rossendales takes is in full knowledge of this.

5. That I will absolutely make no payment until I am ruled by court to do so. If I am ruled to do so I will comply without quarrel or

delay.

6. That Rossendales is aware that I will consider persistent and automated letter sending that asserts the existence of this alleged

debt/charge as well as any attempt to retrieve this alleged debt/charge before its authenticity has been established by a UK court as

stressful, time consuming and damaging to my character. And that I will consider such actions as illegal under Section 40 of the

Administration of Justice Act 1970.

It is my understanding that having informed you of the disputed nature of this debt that you are bound by law to pass this matter

back to UK Parking control so that they might engage legal proceedings against me. If you intend to do this or proceed with any

actions of any nature please make me aware of it. If I have not been clear with you or if this letter causes you any confusion, or if I

can be of any further assistance in answering any questions that you may have before you pursue any action please do not hesitate

to contact me. Also in the light of the communications I have sent UKPC I would like you to communicate documentation that

enlightens me to the nature of the alleged debt as UKPC understand it and has communicated to your company

 

Yours Sincerely

Philip xxxxxxxxx

 

of course as of yet they have only contacted me by phone and not addressed any of my points in writing. (letter sent recorded delivery and they ahd had it over 10 days). A person called me from Rossendales yesterday used a couple of phrases such as 'people knocking on my door' and 'badly effect your credit rating'. can i ask... can they do any of that without a CCJ. and has anyone out there recived a CCJ from Rossendales. any words from people that are further down the road then me would be great. Many Thanks again!:)

A well strubctured letter, however after this (and you did send it by RD?), don;t enter iny further correspondence. You've made your position clear. Don#t givew them or their clients any more credibility - they just don't deserve it.

No CCJ can be done without it going to court and then you failing to pay if went against you. It is all sacremongering, by saying this stuff it intimidates people into paying, thats how they survive. When I spoke to UKPC's 'debt' collectors last year, I told them I'm not paying pass it back to UKPC, not heard anything since, thats over a year now.

hi everyone,

i just found this site after looking for info on ukpc and it has given me peace of mind after the total farce that i am experiencing. if anyone can beat my story let me know.

 

i recieved a letter from the ukpc stating that i had parked illegally somewhere in middlessex on the 8/4/08 at 4.25pm. the photograph on the letter was taken from about 100 yards away and looks like a big brown 4x4 jeep. my problem with that is that i live about 500 miles away in scotland, have a red corsa that has been registered off the road with the dvla since nov 08 and unless i have a really bad memory i'm pretty sure i normally work at the time i was supposedly parked illegally in england somewhere. at first i thought it was some kind of [problem] so i have just ignored the letters but after politley telling them where to go after a cheeky phonecall they made to me i have now recieved another letter threatening to take me to court or send some heavies to my doorstep. i'm not going to budge on this so any advice on the next step would be greatly appreciated.

 

thanks

You need to consider the possibility that your car has been cloned. (OK if not cloned then your VRM is being used on another vehicle.)

********************************************

Nothing in this post constitutes "advice" which I may not, in any event, be qualified to provide.

The only interpretation permitted on this post (or any others I may have made) is that this is what I would personally consider doing in the circumstances discussed. Each and every reader of this post or any other I may have made must take responsibility for forming their own view and making their own decision.

I receive an unwieldy number of private messages. I am happy to respond to messages posted on open forum but am unable to respond to private messages, seeking advice, when the substance of that message should properly be on the open forum.

Many thanks for your assistance and understanding on this.

yes it had the registration but when i contacted the police they said if your reg has been cloned it normally goes on the same make of car and it was probably that they had misread the number plate. they also said because the laws were different in scotland they couldn't do anything about it. great help:mad:

Ignore the bullsh*t and bluster, ignore the unenforcible invoice ,(begging letter would be a more appropriate name for it!) they will not take you to court, this is a merely an empty threat that PPCs make to try and scare the gullible into needlessly parting with their hard earned cash, if anyone does turn up at your door (not likely ) tell them that the alledged debt does not exist and tell them to leave your property immediately, if they refuse call the police and make a complaint about harassment, DO NOT PAY!!!, DO NOT ENTER INTO ANY DIALOGUE WITH A PPC , DO NOT WORRY ABOUT IT, they will eventually give up and try and pester a weaker victim into giving them money they are not owed.

As a Scottish resident, you don;t have to worry about a CCJ either, as their action won't be competent. (We also cannot be clamped, because that's illegal too!). Just send a polite refusal, and enjoy the begging letters as they slowly fall away

I would write a quick letter back to say that it wasn't your car, you have never been there, they are mistaken and leave it at that. At least you have given them the info. You could ignore completely as above, but if you didn't even use the carpark a letter then just shows at least you have told them, then ignore anything further.

Could anyone advise please? We have received a parking notice, we received an invoice from UKPC and my partner paid it prior to telling me as she is the owner/registered keeper. The cheque has been cashed on 20/06/08. As the vehicle is used by several people and we have no indication of who was driving would it be worth our while writing to the company requesting the money is refunded unless they can prove the driver? If they refuse ignore this would we be in the right to proceed via the small claim court for recovery of the moniey. I am happy to do this. Any ideas on how i could word my letter? The vehicle was parked for 20 mins over the prescribed 2 hours on a Tesco car park.

Unfortunately no - now that they have your money, there is little or no point trying to get it back. Even by going to court, your act of payment is a tacit admission that the debit exists, and oyu'd be told to seek repayment from the driver (and find out who that was from your own resources). This is simply a private company generating an invoice for a 'service'. That is their business, and they don't care who was driving or if you were stuck in ~Tesco's toilets. As you'll see from various threads, you IGNORE them, you don't pay, then try and get a refund.

Its actually a breach of OFT guidelines to visit, or threaten to visit debtors when the debt is disputed(2.12f). It is also a breach to ignore the fact that a debt is disputed and continue to make demands. I have found a form on OFT website to make a complaint against debt collection agency The Office of Fair Trading: Debt collection practices

 

but its only supposed to be used by third party agencies :-|

just had to write this as hav`nt b een on here for awhile, well the s*** keeps coming boys & girls, they are like a bad case of diarrhoea ,it`s about time we dried these b*** up for good ! UKPC are based entirely on there own rules as it certainly isnt law in 99 % of the cases, if everyone who had a ticket from UKPC was to dispute it, under the grounds that there is no statutory law to support it, then when they go to debt collectors, they are in actual fact breaking OFT guidelines & the co. then that takes it on be it Rossendales whoever are also breaking the said guidelines, this should then be reported by each of us too the said body. UKPC do not go to tribuneral or court because in 99 % of the cases they would have a massive hole in their defense, the only case I can think of is where they actually record on the big brother you reading terms and conditions on their signage & even this does`nt nessesarily mean that its understood! This lot if they ever take my case to court, will lose & I promise to all you faithfulll out there that I will broadcast it loud & clear, it could be the end for these a******** WHO THINK THEY ARE THE LAW
