    • 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.

Perhaps all the Carter fans should get together outside Crellins office with a bit of publicity,and ask them why they never respond to offer of payments,or supply CCA's or why they never answer questions about Bryan when they are asked by email.:D

this email was sent to Crellins on the 12th jan,no reply resent yesterday still waiting ????

 

Hi

On your site it says that CrellinsCarter operates from one building,yet every time Mr carter sends out letters asking for money it is a completely different address to yours and also a different address for payments to be sent to..

Also could you confirm that CrellinsCarter is using Fredrickson international for the use of it's direct debits.

Which address would you recommend

 

Is it

Springfield House

56 Baker Street

Weybridge

Surrey

KT13 8AL

 

or

De Havilland Drive

Weybridge

Surrey

KT13 ONT

 

or

Crellins Carter Solicitors 111 Queens Road, Weybridge, KT13 9 UW

Please advise

Payment details..

Please pay Bryan Carter & Co Solicitors Direct Debits from the account detailed in this instruction subject to the safeguards assured by the Direct Debit Guarantee. l understand that this instruction may remain with Fredrickson International Ltd and if so, details will be passed electronically to my Bank/ Building Society..

 

So i get taken to court by Bryan Carter & Co,which is the trading name of Crellins/Carter..I then get asked to make my payments to Bryan Carter & Co Solicitors,which is a different name to Bryan Carter & Co.and to add the cherry to the cake all my Direct Debit details will be handled by Fredrickson International Ltd who are a leading Debt Recovery Company..strange that???

Time to ask the Law Society if Bryan Carter & Co Solicitors and not just Bryan Carter & Co are part of Crellins/Carter

Crellins Carter operate from the Queens Road, Weybridge address but their entry on the Law Society shows they have a "branch" at De Havilland Drive

Weybridge - which just happens to be the registered office of Frederickson. No solicitors are shown at the branch either.

 

I would not authorise a direct debit in favour of any debt collector or solicitor connected to a debt collector even with the so-called direct debit guarantee. There is no way to stop them just helpingthemselves to the cash in your bank account. As far as I'm concerned paying debts through bullying and harrassing methods of debt collectors is way, way down my list of priorities. If you must pay them ask for a paying in book or make a standing order.

 

In any event you shouldn't pay them unless they have proven the debt and you accept they are right and you owe the money

Well I'm delighted to say on 18 January succeeded in having Mr Carter's CCJ set aside!

 

Haven't received any paperwork yet, but have been told by the court (application was heard in my absence due to illness) that the claim will be reissued, the reason being to this time allow me to enter a defence!

 

I requested my CCA on 28 November by recorded delivery - signed for by D Carter on 29 November - and have not heard a peep since.

 

Would be grateful if any of you more knowledgeable folks could enlighten me as to next course of action!!

 

Many thanks

Right people I have been reading this forum for the last hour and I am getting more and more confused please can some explain what’s happening?

Brian carter took me to court in 2004 to get a ccj for alliance and Leicester it was agreed for me to pay £30 per month, which I haven’t really kept to. Every so often they will apply to court for a warrant of execution I then make one payment plus the court fee and nothing is mentioned again for ages. The last time was in Nov 07. Everything including the court papers says Brian Carter & Co Solicitors. Where do I stand with this?

The funny thing about all this is the amount was because of bank charges, which I am in the middle of claiming back, they want just over £300 and I want £3500.

Thanks in advance

Suggest you make a S.A.R - (Subject Access Request) as follows I have highlighted in red that which applies to solicitors should they claim legal privilege - also don't forget to send £10 - it should help put the cat amongst the pigeons

 

Date:

YOUR REF:

OUR REF: Special Delivery

S.A.R - (Subject Access Request) (Subject Access Request) Data Protection Act (Data Protection Act) 1998

Their Name & Address

 

 

Your Name & Address

 

 

 

Dear Madam or Sir:

RE: YOUR CLIENT

As per the Data Protection Act 1998 (Date Protection Act) I require that you supply me with any and all data in your possession which, in anyway appertains to myself including true copies of any properly executed agreements, statements of account, default notices, all internal and external correspondence, memo’s, telephone attendance notes, internal and external emails

If your client is not the original creditor please also supply a true copy of their letter of assignment or if acting on behalf of another a true copy of their predated authority to bring this action.

I enclose the statutory fee of £10 by way of a postal order and remind you that you have 40 days in which to comply

Also please note that for the avoidance of doubt and to expedite matters if you claim exemptions from the Data Protection Act under part IV section 35 I would respectfully remind you of the following:

Data Protection Act part IV section 35 (2) states "personal data is exempt from the non-disclosure provisions" In addition Part II section 7 (legal guidance notes) "There are no exemptions from the right of access where civil legal proceedings are contemplated or ongoing"

If you should attempt to bring an action before compliance I will, after notifying the court of my Subject Access and CCA requests, ask the court for a continuance to allow time for both yours and your clients compliance

I await your responses

Yours faithfully

Thank you for your help JonCris and ODC.

 

Which would be right course of action though? I have been informed by the court they have set aside because I did not have opportunity to file defence, but apparently claim is being automatically reissued (though I haven't received it yet), and defence is required by 12 February.

 

Any help gratefully received!!

The judgment was issued in Nov 2007. In my application for setting aside, I explained not only had I originally not received claim, but didn't know what it was for (in fact I still don't!).

 

I wasn't able to attend the hearing due to poor health, but faxed in proof of delivery of CCA request and informed them it hadn't been complied with.

 

When I spoke to the court to find out the outcome of the hearing, they explained it had been set aside, but the judge ordered the claim to be reissued immediately. Allowed set aside only because I didn't have opportunity to enter a defence, now need to enter said defence before 12 Feb.

 

Hope that's made it clearer, but anything else please ask, probably missed something as usual!

Can anyone help please?

I've had a call from a very irate ex landlord. He has had bailifs turn up at his house looking for me. I moved out of the address over a year ago. They are apparently working for bryan carter. Whose client is phoenix recoveries. No mention who the original debt is with. I haven't seen paperwork. But from the amount owed i believe it is my old tsb bank account. This is made up of unlawful charges which i have brought court action against and is currently stayed. All correspondence for claiming back charges has been at my new address, and the last dca to contact me was at my new address. I had told last dca that account was in dispute.

As bailifs have been round is sounds like they have got a ccj against me without knowing. I have checked my credit status on experian and there is no mention of ccj. Whats my next move? I will need to set ccj aside if there is one. But if i contact bryan carter i'm worried they will send bailifs to my address before i can set ccj aside!

Prepare your defence.

 

Explain your circumstances & why they are claiming against you & the members here will help your prepare a defence or possible counter claim

 

 

Thanks JonCris.

 

I suspect my soon-to-be ex-husband has run up a number of debts in my maiden name, as there have been a couple of other suspicious items appear on my credit report.

 

I have no idea what this debt is for, and received no paperwork or demand letters prior to receiving the judgment by default. As stated before, I didn't even receive the original claim. I spoke to National Debtline when I received the judgment, and their advice was to CCA them and apply for set aside, which I duly did. They also explained this was probably a catalogue type debt or similar. I KNOW there is no credit agreement, because I only have those for my mobile phone and credit card.

 

I explained to the court when I applied for the set aside about Carter not only claiming a partial amount (and seemingly reserving the right to come back for the rest when they saw fit!), but also the company ceased trading in Feb 2007. Also told them I'd applied for CCA and enclosed copy of letter, and copy of letter received post-judgment saying I owed over £600 instead of the £181 + costs they'd claimed.

 

Any help gratefully received
