    • 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.

Yeah - I suppose the flies gotta eat too, but even they get my sympathy when chomping on a plate full of 1st crudites.

 

:eek:

 

FOS just wrote saying they are dealing with my case against the crudites and to give them any more data if I want to.

 

The point is that the crudites have not honoured my CCA request properly with that bad scanned page and are still harrassing me saying they want me to pay up.

 

Anyone got a good letter to follow up the FOS complaint with in light of this?

 

I do not want FOS to let the crudites get away with this one.

 

DD, should I mention that I have also offered to pay to see the docs, if they exist, as in the last good letter you gave me to use?

something like this to FOS ?

 

-------

 

Thank you for your letter received today.

I have enclosed more copies to show that 1st XXXX have not honoured my s 78 CCA application after many requests to do so and have only presented me – time and time again with a badly scanned copy, which is basically illegible.

You will see also that they have admitted to the fact that they cannot honour my s78 request for easily legible docs and that the copy of something they have persistently sent to me is of “poor quality.”

As you will see I have written back to inform them that they are still in default until which time thaey can provide proper legible docs.

They however are still, as you will observe by their last paragraph, hounding me for “repayment by return.”

lol. Is there such a thing as a born - again debtor DD?

 

I TELL YOU - YOU ARE READING MY MIND DD AS TODAY MY WHOLE ATTITUDE CHANGED DRAMATICALLY AND I FELT LIKE A WEIGHT HAD BEEN LIFTED OFF ME.

I for one cannot remain gloomy forever and want to simply live!

 

I KNOW THAT I HAVE A LONG WAY TO GO BUT YES - I THINK I WILL SURVIVE.

 

I am taking the fight to the enemy and thanks to CAB will give back more than I get now.

 

Bullies are not so tough when you tie them in knots are they. I aim to do what I can to destroy their ability to wreck families (legally of course.)

 

It also think it helps one's confidence to complain against them all too.

 

I am learning anyway and that's the vital thing.

get the gloria gaynor record out then eh!

You peps are life-savers and I can diig what you say CP about the troubles that this stress brings to families. Our has survived it but many don't.

 

I an not sitting on my hands though - I am writing complaints to others and I find this also helps to build confidence up.

 

The worst crudites have now had the DD letter to call their bluff over the CCA and BOS are aware they are in default on all accounts. Crudite Solutions are getting a nice complaint also.

 

Like I say folks - I am learning slowly so lets see what postie brings next.

 

DD - good luck in the wigwam. :grin:

 

PS DD, just a thought but what happens if the worst crudites do manage to produce a lovely shiny CCA doc and say ok - come and see it? I only ask as I would not know if it was a genuine article or not.

 

the first thing i would do is look up in the sky to the east....

 

the last time something like this happened there was a bright star there!

 

then i would go see and copy it

 

then if it was genuine i would plead poverty and offer them 5 quid a month or a quick F & F

Has anyone received the text from 1st Credit offering 30% off your account if you settle with them before the end of July?

 

I've not paid them a penny or corresponded with them for nearly four years, so they must be mad to waste their time with me!

 

they are far from mad- they know that the clock is ticking and only 2 years to go!!

 

30% of something is better than 100% of what they'll get in 2 years!!

Just a quickie - OH had a card with Citi. They sold it to 1st credit a while ago (I'm pretty sure it was done lock stock rather than them just managing it) who duly passed it on to Connaught to manage.

 

I CCA'd Connaught in about Sept/Oct. After a couple of weeks they said it was being passed to 1st Credit. After another couple of weeks they said it was being passed to Citi. I've heard nothing since.

 

I've just sent Connaught a reminder letter (it's only just occurred to me as we've had a rough few months and it slipped my mind), but I'm wondering if I should also send one to 1st Credit?

 

are you SURE it was sold to 1st credit by citi in the first place- sounds to me like they were just acting as debt collectors- otherwise why on earth would citi want to buy the debt back?

Also keeping their mates at OFT up to battle speed over this one.

 

Is it possible to become utterly addicted to complaining about 1st crudites and other types of odious pond life?

Errrr..yes!

 

Especially when it's free, apart from the odd stamp and a bit of copying. Make them work for their money and make your money work for you.

 

Copy all the relevant letters you have and use highlights and numbers to index your points in a covering letter. The one you posted sounds fine as you don't have to be an instant legal expert, that's the FOS' job. Don't hold your breath waiting for an outcome but they do keep you updated regularly on their progress.

Thanks Crapstone

 

I will keep you up to speed with what happens with this one and the rest.

 

I now only need a hint of trouble to get me complaining in.

 

I want to moan about Rubinson wee too about the way they hounded me for a debt that Crudite solutions had closed.

i hAve been dealing with 1st Credit for a while now with help from CAG. It's quite funny as they too keep sending 'edited' copies of an MBNA application form. However, they have recently set Connaught on to me.

 

They have sent a letter saying that they have been instructed by their client to recover this overdue amount.

 

As First credit are in default are they allowed to pass the debt on, even to a sister company? And shouldn't they send me a letter of assignment of the debt?

B O ands Snot that took on the bank of scot accounts and have not managed to honour any CCA requests this bank just sent a Your Personal Loan Statement to me and my partner.

 

As you know from the 2 page scan (that only holds my name) a few pages back they gave me that copy of a largely illegible “application” form (according to DD). I told them they were in default and also in default over all the other accounts, which they have ignored my CCA requests for.

 

I cancelled standing orders to BO and Snot last month and yet on the statement from the bank they say that instalments are still going out. Does it take a while for them to stop or..?

 

The interest (about 30-4O- quid a month) on this lot has grown since 2006 when it allegedly commenced and now there is another thousand quid on this one account alone. Initially CAB asked them to halt interest but they seem to have ignored this. This all seems very wrong

 

I cancelled the payments last month, asked for a CCA and they are still banging on MEGA interest and not honouring the CCA requests properly. And I have told then it’s in dispute. .

 

I intend to now ask my bank (RBOS) why they are still paying my tokens to the Bank o S

 

All pretty confusing now.

 

 

ps Utter daylight robbery them banging on up to 42 quid a month interest on an accout that is paying a quid a month tokens too I believe.

 

Just thinking - should I tell Bank of scot that the account is in dispute? I have only said this to their strong arm BO and Snot who are handling the account. Maybe Bliar O and snot have NOT told the bank lads on the other side of the desk?

Quite likely, they don't seem to talk to each other. Maybe there's a screen inbetween them or something?:)

LOL.

 

:lol:

 

I have slips from my RBOS saying that the standing order was cancelled effective from 22 June yet the payment of a quid was received, according to the Bank of S, on 22 of July. Odd?

 

Another funny thing is that on a monthly basis the interest since last autunm on this account had dropped a quid per month from 43 to 36 quid - why?

Maybe tell 'em ...................

 

I consider this account to be in SERIOUS DISPUTE.

 

As you are aware while my Consumer Credit Act request remains in default enforcement action is NOT permitted, under s127 this constitutes a complete defence at law.

 

Consequentially any legal action you pursue will be averred as both UNLAWFUL and VEXATIOUS.

 

Now I would respectfully suggest that this account is returned to xxxxxxxxx for resolution of these defaults and breaches, as xxxxxxx cannot lawfully pursue any enforcement activities. If xxxxxx chooses to ignore my dispute and attempt enforcement, I will initiate legal action and file reports with the appropriate authorities, including, but not limited to, Trading Standards, Office of Fair Trading, Information Commissioners Office, Financial Ombudsman Service and possible court action.

 

After taking advice, I am of the opinion that any continued pursuit is in violation of the Consumer Protection From Unfair Trading Regulations 2008 in line with the Office Of Fair Tradings Collection Guidelines

 

I suggest that you demand that xxxxxxxxx must HONESTLY clarify this issue for you so that your company does not progress into yet more breaches over the current CCA regulations, which I may be forced to report to the governing authorities.

 

The onus is clearly on your company to address this issue rather than expect me to spend time, expense and inconvenience herein.

 

Yours faithfully

you would only be " informed" (that is all they have to do) of an assignment if the debt had been assigned to someone else (and who was able to legally operate the account if still live)

 

There is nothing to stop a creditor selling your debt whether in dispute or not to someone else but the dispute goes with the debt to the new owner

so best to stick with dispute rather than serious dispute?

 

I want to learn

 

PS - as I asked before - do I have to write to bank of scot to tell 'em that the accounts being managed by BO and Snot are in dispute or not? Are they not supposed to tell their client, over the desk, what the hell is going on?

it's no big deal but if (as i suspect) that there is no legal significance in it then it makes you look just that bit more knowledgeable when you write to them
