    • Because of the tsunami of cases we are having for this scam site, over the weekend I had a look at MET cases we have here stretching back to June 2014.  Yes, ten years. MET have not once had the guts to put a case in front of a judge. In about 5% of cases they have issued court papers in the hope that the motorist will be terrified of going to court and will give in.  However, when the motorist defended, it was MET who bottled it.  Every time.
    • 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,

      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.

Lol. Now I know I have retained my youthful looks, but my daughter is 16 hours old in that pic so it's def not me pmsl.

 

I know what you mean about CAG. Unless you're on here though, you can't even begin to explain to people just how helpful it is. They just seem to glaze over and drift to a place far, far away....

I wish I could do more to help this site. Bankfodder and Dave should get a big fat reward for their idea to start it in the first place. I agree too that there should be funding from somewhere, esp to be used towards advertising the site and in so, helping thousands more to register and 'Reclaim the Right' as they say.

Hi Laiste.

I just want to firstly say thanks for helping, as I know from some other threads you're posting on, that you're in extremely high demand.

 

I will find out for definite when the defence must be filed by tomorrow when I ring the court, but as of now I'd guess around the 2nd July.(Issued 30/05/07, deemed served 04/06/07 so +28 days = 02/07/07)

 

So there's no rush just yet. I'm sure there's plenty of others in more urgent need of your help :eek: .

 

Thanks again

Hi calm and Laiste.

I found out today that the defence must be filed by the 29th June.

 

The letter I sent yesterday to Next and the copy to their solicitors, both arrived this morning. I think it's 12 working days they have to respond by isn't it? Which would give them until the 28th!?!

I really hope not because that is cutting it extremely fine.

 

I did say I wanted it by the 21st June, but whether they comply is a different matter....

No they have to respond by 21st June because you've made this particular request under CPR rules. The CCA request which gives them 12 working days is the earlier request you made to them (so check those dates too).

You may receive different advice to your query as people have different experiences and opinions. Please use your own judgement in deciding whose advice to take.

 

If in doubt seek advice from a qualified insured professional. Any advice I have offered you is done so on an informal basis, without prejudice or liability.

Hi! Monopoly

 

I hope everything goes well for you!

 

The same thing has happened to me regarding Recorded Delivery of my CCA Request also sent 30th May.

RM say I have to wait until Monday to see if it turns up! but if they are not bothering to get signatures it could literaly be anywhere!!

 

If they cannot come back with a suitable answer then I will pursue this matter as I think it is disgusting as we are paying to get a sig at the other end otherwise we would send 1st or 2nd class.

 

I will let you know how I get on.

 

I do hope you are feeling better in yourself and not worrying too much.

 

 

kind regards

Thanks minky. I cant believe how much attention this thread's getting really...

 

I was told in the PO to wait 15 days then claim for compensation. Which I will do.

Maybe if RM get enough claims and complaints re Recorded Signed For, they might just make their staff do their jobs properly.

 

Then again, probably not :rolleyes:

To be quite honest, I really don't think I'm gonna have much to fight with Next. They've sent no LBA or default notice so I don't think they can actually sue me.

I think when their solicitors realise this, they'll drop the case and refer it back to Next. Here's hoping anyway....;)

If they don't and try to bully me, I just hope I can get a good defence together. Their POC doesn't give me much to go on though...

 

Then, depending on Next sending us a valid agreement, I can see what I can do next

Well I would have thought I'd have heard something from Next's solicitors by now, but I've not even received an acknowledgement for the letter I sent.

I know they've only had it since the 12th but time just seems to be dragging with all this looming over me, and with nothing to fight the case with.

Does anyone recommend that I ring them on Monday? :confused:

I see no reason to phone them monopoly. While I can appreciate you are anxious to receive the info, the ball is firmly in their court with regards to supplying it.

HAVE YOU BEEN TREATED UNFAIRLY BY CREDITORS OR DCA's?

I don't think they'll win really because they still didn't give me a default notice and their claim says I defaulted. I don't know if what they send will be any good either, if they have anything at all...

Hi! Monopoly

 

It is sounding better & better for you, just don't let them panic you into doing something you may come to regret later, the burdon of proof is on them.

 

This is like a Soap! can't wait for the next installment lol... :)

 

Chin up girl you are nearly there....

Hi Monopoly,

 

It is a very bad idea to telephone the solicitors and/or the Customer Service dept of Next. It smacks of desperation to get hold of the info and will certainly convince the sols that you are panicking! That is more likely to result in them withholding it for longer! Games and psyching the other party out are as much a part of the legal process, as knowing the actual law! Cases take time and you have to be patient and even if something they are doing or not doing as the case may be, is annoying the hell out of you, you must not under any circumstances show it or do something that you may later regret!

 

The more unphased you appear to be by their actions, the more they will worry. Whether they supply the info before you have to file a defence is immaterial. You will be able to submit a perfectly legitimate defence, in the absence of it. The Judge will be decidedly unimpressed (if it gets that far, not likely in my view) if having asked them for info, they failed to supply it before you had to submit your defence and they produced it susequently! So it works very much to your advantage if they don't supply it, as they will be viewed as obstructing justice. It's important to look at the case from every angle, not just from the narrow perspective that info has not been supplied! The more they do wrong, the more opportunities there are for using it against them!;)

 

Regards,

 

Laiste.:)

Hi everyone. Sorry Im sooo stressed out... Its just I have a LOT on my plate at the minute - tring to claim against Lloyds, 6 CCA requests to deal with, I have to return to work after maternity in 2 weeks=stress about who's gonna look after my daughter (arghh they'll want to do things their way not mine!) and so I won't have much time to deal with all this! :mad:

 

I know I have to be patient but it's so hard when you just want things to get a move on.

Thanks Laiste-I won't be ringing anyone. The solicitors have had my request since the 8th now it's their problem now. I just hope a letter comes through saying the claim has been dropped!

 

Hi Minky thanks for the well wishes-hopefully you wont have to wait too long for your next 'fix' of the story ;)

 

Alp- do you have a link to the report about next you mentioned so I could have a look? I think it would calm my nerves a bit....:rolleyes:
