    • We used to recommend that people accept mediation but our advice has changed. The mediation process is unclear. Before you can embark on it you have to agree that you are prepared to enter a compromise – and that means that you agree that you are prepared to give up some of your rights even though you are completely in the right and you are entitled to hundred percent of your money and even though EVRi are simply trying to obstruct you in order to discourage you and also to put others who might want to follow your example off from claiming and even though they have a legitimate basis for reimbursement. Mediation is not transparent. In addition to having to sign up that you are prepared to give up some of your rights, you will also have to agree not to reveal any details of the mediation – including the result of the mediation – so that the whole thing is kept secret. This is not open justice. Mediation has nothing to do with justice. The only way of getting justice is to make sure that this matter goes to trial unless EVRi or the other parcel delivery companies put their hands up and accept the responsibility even if they do it is a gesture of goodwill. Going to trial and winning at trial produces a judgement which we can then add to our small collection to assist other people who are in a similar boat. EVRi had been leading you around by the nose since at least January – and probably last year as well – and their whole purpose is simply to drag it out, to place obstacles in your way, to deter other people, and to make you wish that you'd never started the process and that you are prepared to give up your 300 quid. You shouldn't stand for it. You should take control. EVRi would prefer that you went to mediation and if nothing else that is one excellent reason why you should decline mediation and go to court. If it's good for them it's bad for you. On mediation form, you should sign that you are not prepared to compromise and that you are not prepared to keep the result secret but that you want to share the results with other people in similar circumstances. This means that the mediation won't go ahead. It will take slightly longer and you will have to pay a court fee but you will get that back when you win and you will have much greater satisfaction. Also, once you go the whole process, you will learn even more about bringing a small claim in the County Court so that if this kind of thing happens again you will know what to do and you will go ahead without any hesitation. Finally, if you call EVRi's bluff and refuse mediation and go to trial, there is a chance – maybe not a big chance – but there is a chance that they will agree to pay out your claim before trial simply in order to avoid a judgement. Another judgement against them will simply hurt the position even more and they really don't want this. 300 quid plus your costs is peanuts to them. They don't care about it. They will set it off against tax so the taxpayer will make their contribution. It's all about maintaining their business model of not being liable for anything, and limiting or excluding liability contrary to section 57 and section 72 of the consumer rights act.     And incidentally, there is a myth that if you refuse mediation that somehow it will go against you and the judge will take a dim view and be critical of you. This is precisely a myth. It's not true. It would be highly improper if any judge decided the case against you on anything other than the facts and the law of the case. So don't worry about that. The downside of declining mediation is that your case will take slightly longer. The upside is that if you win you will get all your money and you will have a judgement in your favour which will help others. The chances of you winning in this case are better than 95% and of course you would then receive 100% of your claim plus costs
    • Nice to hear a positive story about a company on this form for a change. Thank you
    • too true HB, but those two I referred for starters - appear to be self admitted - One to excuse other lockdown law breaking, by claiming his estate away from his consistency and London abode was his main home the other if he claims to have 'not told the truth' in his own words via that quote - to have mislead his investors rather than broken lobbying rules   - seem to be slam dunks - pick which was your law breaking - it seems to be both and much more besides in Jenricks case Starmer was director of public prosecutions yet the tories are using seemingly baseless allegations for propaganda and starmer is missing pressing apparent blatant criminality in politics

    • 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.

Hi I droped my grilfriend off at the bus station a few days ago and found I had a parking ticket issued by UK CPS Ltd for £75.

 

I was parked somewhere in leeds and I litterally jumped out for 5mins maximum, the B must have been waiting in his car! I didnt even see the ticket till half way down the road otherwise I would have looked for him!

 

I have spent the past couple of hours looking through these forums and im a bit bamboozelled.

 

 

From what I've read so far should I just ignore all their letters and not contact them even though I was probably in the wrong for parking there or should I just pay and save the hassle?.

 

Any Help would be much appreciated..........

The majority of people on this forum have had no problem from just ignoring the tickets.

 

They are NOT "fines" as private companies have no right to fine anyone.

 

Court papers are extremely rare. See the recent case where Excel failed to turn up.

 

No doubt peternet(UKCPS employee) will be along to tell you to "appeal" - ignore him also - there is no "appeals proceedure".

Im just a bit worried as I was in the wrong

 

Why do you think you were 'in the wrong'? If they wanted £1000 would you just shrug your shoulders because you think it's your fault?

 

Treat these parasites with the contempt they deserve:

 

• do not pay

• do not contact them

ignore any letters you receive

• they will give up an go away after 4 or 5

 

It's also pretty difficult to consider and accept the terms of any alleged contract from your car. Sounds to me like you parked up, went to read the sign, declined to accept the contract and left the premises.

Gangbos become the latest measure for fighting antisocial behaviour | UK news | The Guardian

 

 

The crime and security bill also proposed licensing private wheelclamping companies. A statutory code of conduct will place a cap on fines, prevent cars being towed too soon after being clamped and an independent appeals process for motorists who feel they have been unfairly clamped or fined.

in their dreams they will take action and then send baliff's

 

YOU MUST DO THE FOLLOWING WITHOUT FAIL

 

1) IGNORE

2) IGNORE SOME MORE

3) GO TO 1

 

now you have done that, if you must send £10 a month send it your local PDSA or a deserving cause of your choice

NEVER FORGET

Hi Everybody

 

Just been done by UKCPS for parking over heavily fading lines in a retail car park on Leeds Rd in Hudds.

I was in Next for 5 mins, I left at 12:27 yet the ticket says 12:34.

So I walked around the car park taking photos of other vehicles 'over the line' and I'm thinking WTF,

no consistency here.

 

As I walked around looking for him I spoke to a couple of employees having a cig from 1 of the shops and they said just ignore it, but I wanted to see the photos. They advised me that he does another car park so I drove there but in my mind I thought I bet he's gonna come back, he did.

(at this point he's in his van, didn't wanna get out for some reason)

I asked him for pics, he showed me faded lines.

I told him the time is wrong as I was in my car at 12:34.

I asked him " why are you victimising me?" "other cars in front of you are over the lines, you haven't done them."

Then he says "I would get out but I feel threatened" ( I'm assuming he's got his phone on REC.)

Anyway I drove off leaving all the bad thoughts in my head and not on his face.

 

Big thanks to this forum and especially the replies from KIPTOWER on various other posts.

My new favourite word is now IGNORE.

I've been issued with a ticket from UK CPS Ltd today while parked on the Elk Mill Retail Park at Oldham. Having a disability and with all the disabled parking spaces taken I parked my car in front of JD Sports on a yellow box at the side of Next and popped my disabled badge on display.

As it's a retail park I assumed that parking wasn't considered under the same restrictions as parking on the roads etc.

 

I found to my horror that the charge is £100 ! with a reduction to £60 if paid within 14 days.

 

Do I have to pay this by law, and if I don't pay it will I end up with a county court judgement against my name ?

What really annoys me is that we spend money in the shops on that retail park and yet end up being fined !! I've also realised looking at the 'reasons for issue' on the ticket that people can be fined for parking "out of a marked bay" (what the hell does that mean ?).

IT means it is a way of trying to fool people into paying money. It is not a fine it is more akin to a begging lettre, ignore it and all the other rubbish they will send you.
