    • 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.

I'm suprised Horlicks didn't employ Cabot to promote their latest adverts, odn't know if anyone's seen it, it where they do horrible things, like the bus driver drives passed the shopper carrying loads of shopping etc and waiting at the bus stop, and t says, "Wonder how he can sleep at night" then he makes a cup of horlicks, well they could use Cabot instead.

I'll bludy Horlicks them if ever have to speak to them again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi guys, long time no mail on this thread, I have a confession to make, I had a call from a cabot, a long time back, (back end of last year) , and i cracked on the phone, (basically I think he must be a religious subscriber to this website) he caught me out, when I thought I was prepared to tackle on the phone, I was getting hassle of the hubby becuase of the constant phone calls that were coming, and decided to take the bull by the horns.

ANyway I was totally unprepared (fully armed now), for the total full on ness (if that makes senses), asking what I bought etc did I have receipts, and much more, I tried to remember CAG instructions, but spoke about something in the past tense, which made things obvious, anyway, I was caught I do not want to hide from the debt, but I DO want to pay the right people. So as I had made myself knee deep in it, we sorted out an agreement that suited (I know at this point you are all screaming YOU FOOL!!!!!!) but I do want to pay these debts off, so I can carry on with my family life as planned, and this is holding up. becuase of me (my hubby is squeaky clean no loans no credit card etc.. we cannot even get our house insurance to be paid by direct debit now (unless I change providers and wouldn't know where to start looking). anyway I arrange a direct debit each month, but I had already sent them a cca on 7/7/7, the direct debit was set up and everything was running smoothly, I pay each month, I do not get a call, but today in the post I got this.

Your Request for information under the COnsumer Credit Act.

Unfortunately Cabot has not been able to provide you with the requested information within the relevant time (9 months) period. We have worked hard to obtain this information for you. However, the original lender has not yet been able to locate the relevant information from their archives.

You are of course entitled to request the information direct from the original lender.

YOUR ACCOUNT.

Cabot shall continue to hold any action on your account until further notice.

WHAT HAPPENS NEXT

Although Cabot is dependent on the original lender for the information, the relevant time period is now expired. However, Cabot shall continue to request the information from the original lender to assist with your request. We hope you receiev the relevant information shortly.

 

Do I Keep paying them?

Shoudl I cancel my direct debit?

Why the letter now?

I have just set up another account with them, (although different address & telephone number)

If they are not entitled to receive my money, can I claim it back, and how.

HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well isn't that just typical. 9 months and they still haven't come up with the agreement. They have to whether they are the original creditor OR NOT - if they are asking for money then they have to come up with it.

 

Personally I would do two things. As you are so honourable in wanting this paid I would stop paying Cabot, BUT put what you are paying into a savings account so it's there in case they DO come up with it at some time. The fact that they have now expired all the statutory time limits and have committed a criminal offence whilst they are about it doesn't seem to have registered with them.

 

You could report them to the various authorities, but I would remind them that now, as they have expired the 12 days they had to supply a copy of the agreement, need a court order to enforce the debt AND have committed a CRIMINAL Offence by not supplying one month thereafter.

 

I would write saying that until their document arrives no further payments will be forthcoming and that you would like all payments previously made to be returned forthwith as they had no right to collect money from you. Be interesting to hear what they have to say about that.

 

Keep the money to one side, but YOU keep control of it, because if it does appear they can get the court order and will come after it.

 

Just remember, Cabot are saying effectively they haven't the authority to collect money from you, so it's just like me, if I wrote and asked you to pay me for this debt you'd hopefully say - I don't owe you any money unless you prove I do so naff-off...same applies to Messrs Cabot. When they get it right, they get paid, all the time they get it wrong - they don't - simple as that.

 

That's what the Cabot Fan Club campaign for - just getting them to abide by the law - never learn do they? :D

i seem to think that the set up of the new account (which was only last friday) i was happy to do so (as no hassle at any time was received by cabot with the previous account) has made them look at the other account, is there a letter, or any help with one, cause i do not know where to start with one please!!!!

ok, i want to pay the debt off, but if paying cabot means diddlyswot, then there is no point, I cant afford to be paying 2 dca's, so i think i need to cancel direct debit, and send cca to monument, and just play the game with again with the new cca, the end result is i want to pay it off, but i'm not gonna do this with the "let's play the game dca's" am i, so Im gonna cancel direct debit with cabot, send cca to monument, but i need help with letter to retrieve monies paid to cabot, it must be at least £105 not a lot I know. but looking at it I shouldn't have paid the xxxxxx a penny, oh how intimidation works well, (might try it with the boss!!!)

Priority One is absolutely right about the DD's.

 

If you do write, keep it simple in so far as Cabot have not been able to prove they were entitled to collect any money from me, therefore will you kindly return the £105 previously sent for these alleged accounts.

 

To be honest, trying to get money out of Cabot is not going to be easy, you might just as well ask and be told you can't have it as not, but they are not noted for their payouts. You never know, if you have some luck you might, but don't hold your breath. You could state they have taken monies under false pretences and you'd like it back or else.. something like that. Just keep it simple, deal with their response.

 

Good luck..

You do not need to re-CCA anyone. If Cabot have been unable to produce an enforceable Agreement, then the account is still in dispute... regardless of who the request went to, as long as you've retained rec. delivery proof of postage.

 

If Monument contact you, you can deal with them then. However, if Cabot have bought the account, then Monument probably won't contact you as they should no longer have any interest in it.... but this is unlikely to stop Cabot from re-selling the account on to some other morons.

 

Providing it's still in dispute, then you're under no legal obligation to pay.

Just a quick thought!

 

If you have arranged to pay the DCA and you want to pay off the debt, would your best course of action to S.A.R the account and work out what charges you have paid and reclaim these?
