    • Hmm yes I see your point about proof of postage but nonetheless... "A Notice to Keeper can be served by ordinary post and the Protection of Freedoms Act requires that the Notice, to be valid,  must be delivered either (Where a notice to driver (parking ticket) has been served) Not earlier than 28 days after, nor more than 56 days after, the service of that notice to driver; or (Where no notice to driver has been served (e.g ANPR is used)) Not later than 14 days after the vehicle was parked A notice sent by post is to be presumed, unless the contrary is proved, to have been delivered on the second working day after the day on which it is posted; and for this purpose “working day” means any day other than a Saturday, Sunday or a public holiday in England and Wales." My question there is really what might constitute proof? Since you say the issue of delivery is a common one I suppose that no satisfactory answer has been established or you would probably have told me.
    • I would stand your ground and go for the interest. Even if the interest is not awarded you will get the judgement and the worst that might happen is that you won't get your claim fee.  However, it is almost inevitable that you will get the interest.  It is correct that it is at the discretion of the judge but the discretion is almost always exercised in favour of the claimant in these cases.  I think you should stand your ground and don't give even the slightest penny away Another judgement against them on this issue would be very bad for them and they would be really stupid to risk it but if they did, it would cost them far more than the interest they are trying to save which they will most likely have to pay anyway
    • Yep, true to form, they are happy to just save a couple of quid... They invariably lose in court, so to them, that's a win. 😅
    • Your concern regarding the 14 days delivery is a common one. Not been on the forum that long, but I don't think the following thought has ever been challenged. My view is that they should have proof of when it was posted, not when they "issued", or printed it. Of course, they would never show any proof of postage, unless it went to court. Private parking companies are simply after money, and will just keep sending ever more threatening letters to intimidate you into paying up. It's not been mentioned yet, but DO NOT APPEAL! You could inadvertently give up useful legal protection and they will refuse any appeal, because they're just after the cash...  
    • The sign says "Parking conditions apply 24/7". Mind you, that's after a huge wall of text. The whole thing is massively confusing.  Goodness knows what you're meant to do if you spend only a fiver in Iceland or you stay a few minutes over the hour there.

    • 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 there, first of all - don't panic, there's always something we can do. You will need to take a statement to the court detailing your offer of payment and also a budget sheet. If we can get it done in the next day or so (I can help you with the statement) you could take it to the court on Friday so the judge will be able to read it before the hearing.

 

A few questions first:

 

1.What happened to the original hearing - why was it adjourned?

2.Who is the lender?

3.How many months arrears are there?

4.Is the mortgage in joint names?

5.Do you have any children?

6.Do you have documentary evidence of your husband's accident claim?

7.Are you in work?

8.Is your husband claiming benefits?

 

Sorry for all the questions, but need to get a full picture before starting to draft the statement for court.

 

Affixed is the budget sheet we normally use, it calculates automatically as you fill it in.

The original hearing was stopped as arrangement made.

Lender is Kensington mortgage company.

Payments are £411 so over 8 months

The mortgage is in joint names

have 2 children

We have letters from solicitor regarding claim but no figures as yet

I work full time

husband gets jsa.

 

If i pay the arrears off with the help of family would this stop re possesion( not sure if this is an option yet as dont really wnat people knowing )

If you pay the arrears in full then there can be no claim for possession.

 

Have you had a recent statement from Kensington? they have more than likely added arrears charges to the account so the amount they are claiming as arrears would be wrong.

I dont . I know they charge us £50 per month for having arrears.

 

I cant find the budget form ? I am really panicking, I know I should of dealt with this early but hoped it would go away.

 

so if I can pay full arrears by monday, I would still go to court but nothing happen ?

If you pay all the arrears before the hearing date they will have to cancel the hearing (but you would need to phone the court to check they have done that! - lenders have a habit of "forgetting" details like that!)

 

Let me know what you decide to do in case we need to do a statement for the hearing.

You will both need to be there when you make the call to pay as they will have to speak to the cardholder.

 

Once you have made the payment and they have promised to cancel the hearing you must ring the court and check they have done so. Also make sure you can prove the payment has been made - if it's a debit card your mum uses she should ask the bank for an instant statement showing the payment. Or if she's on internet banking you can print it off.

 

The next thing you need to do is to ask Kensington for a full statement of your account so we can establish what charges they have put on - you can then claim them back. Kensington have recently been fined by the FOS for extortionate arrears charges.

It always says that on the claim form for possession. If they didn't cancel the hearing and you went along with the proof that the arrears had been paid the judge would give them a right roasting!

Try not to worry too much, let me know when you have phoned to make the payment - I'm always on line during the day if you need to contact me.

Hi there, you need to enter a N244 at court to get a hearing before a judge in order to get eviction stopped. We can help you with this but you need to act fast - the form will need to be taken to court tomorrow in order to get a hearing before Monday.

Hi can someone please try and answer my question ?

 

 

We had £4800 worth of mortgage arrears ,

 

 

I have managed to pay £2200 off although they are still disputing this as was gift from my mother and they don't seem to want to accept it ,

 

 

I have submitted proposal to clear arreas but they say I have to wait 5 working days to see if accepted ,

 

 

the problem is we already have been to court and got granted a suspended possesion order

but we are going to Visit family abroad for 14 days and I am worried sick that we will come back and the house be repossessed ,

 

 

is there a Time scale the court have to give you when they set a eviction date ???

It could take a week or perhaps more for a warrant to be issued from when they apply for one. The court bailiffs would then issue the warrant to you giving anything from 7-21 days before eviction date.

 

What date do you return from abroad?

What date did they say you had to wait 5 working days from?

Who is the lender?

Are you able to telephone them from abroad next week to see what the answer is? Will you have internet access while you are away?
