    • They have defended the claim by saying that the job was of unsatisfactory standard and they had to call another carpenter to remedy. My husband has text messages about them losing the keys a second time and also an email. What do they hope to achieve??? Most importantly,  as far as I have seen online, now I need to wait for paperwork from the court, correct?
    • The Notice to Hirer does not comply with the protection of Freedoms Act 2012 Schedule  4 . This is before I ask if Europarks have sent you a copy of the PCN they sent to Arval along with a copy of the hire agreement et. if they haven't done that either you are totally in the clear and have nothing to worry about and nothing to pay. The PCN they have sent you is supposed to be paid by you according to the Act within 21 days. The chucklebuts have stated 28 days which is the time that motorists have to pay. Such a basic and simple thing . The Act came out in 2012 and still they cannot get it right which is very good news for you. Sadly there is no point in telling them- they won't accept it because they lose their chance to make any money out of you. they are hoping that by writing to you demanding money plus sending in their  unregulated debt collectors and sixth rate solicitors that you might be so frightened as to pay them money so that you can sleep at night. Don't be surprised if some of their letters are done in coloured crayons-that's the sort of  level of people you will be dealing with. Makes great bedding for the rabbits though. Euro tend not to be that litigious but while you can safely ignore the debt collectors just keep an eye out for a possible Letter of Claim. They are pretty rare but musn't be ignored. Let us know so that you can send a suitably snotty letter to them showing that you are not afraid of them and are happy to go to Court as you like winning.  
    • They did reply to my defence stating it would fail and enclosed copies of NOA, DN Term letter and account statements. All copies of T&C's that could be reconstructions and the IP address on there resolves to the town where MBNA offices are, not my location

    • My defence was standard no paperwork:   1.The Defendant contends that the particulars of claim are generic in nature. The Defendant accordingly sets out its case below and relies on CPR r 16.5 (3) in relation to any particular allegation to which a specific response has not been made. 2. Paragraph 1 is noted. The Defendant has had a contractual relationship with MBNA Limited in the past. The Defendant does not recognise the reference number provided by the claimant within its particulars and has sought verification from the claimant who is yet to comply with requests for further information. 3. Paragraph 2 is denied. The Defendant maintains that a default notice was never received. The Claimant is put to strict proof to that a default notice was issued by MBNA Limited and received by the Defendant. 4. Paragraph 3 is denied. The Defendant is unaware of any legal assignment or Notice of Assignment allegedly served from either the Claimant or MBNA Limited. 5. On the xx/xx/2023 the Defendant requested information pertaining to this claim by way of a CCA 1974 Section 78 request. The claimant is yet to respond to this request. On the xx/xx/2023 a CPR 31.14 request was sent to Kearns who is yet to respond. To date, xx/xx/2023, no documentation has been received. The claimant remains in default of my section 78 request. 6. It is therefore denied with regards to the Defendant owing any monies to the Claimant, the Claimant has failed to provide any evidence of proof of assignment being sent/ agreement/ balance/ breach or termination requested by CPR 31.14, therefore the Claimant is put to strict proof to: (a) show how the Defendant entered into an agreement; and (b) show and evidence the nature of breach and service of a default notice pursuant to Section 87(1) CCA1974 (c) show how the claimant has reached the amount claimed for; and (d) show how the Claimant has the legal right, either under statute or equity to issue a claim; 7. As per Civil Procedure Rule 16.5(4), it is expected that the Claimant prove the allegation that the money is owed. 8. On the alternative, as the Claimant is an assignee of a debt, it is denied that the Claimant has the right to lay a claim due to contraventions of Section 136 of the Law of Property Act and Section 82A of the consumer credit Act 1974. 9. By reasons of the facts and matters set out above, it is denied that the Claimant is entitled to the relief claimed or any relief.

    • 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.

On Dec 21st at a Kent railway station

I parked in an area that has always to my knowledge been free to park (I have lived in the area all my life)

 

Its residential and has diagonal bays.

 

Upon my return I have a Penalty Notice stuck to the wind screen of my car.

 

I have checked and signage is at best very difficult to see.

 

I did some reading and am awaiting a letter from Indigo,

 

to date 07/02/18 I have received nothing and am wondering what happens next.

 

The vehicle ticketed is a company lease and is through my personal business.

 

Any help would be appreciated.

Hi

Indigo is quite a small business and take very few to court.

 

whilst waiting for the Notice to Keeper, nip back and get some pretty pictures of all the signage on site.

 

It's likely that Indigo contacted the lease company and they may have passed your details on to them. As they are BPA members, a simple appeal to Indigo is in order but not until you get that NtK

This is going to take some digging & homework by the OP. Though quite how (or why) a PPC is allowed to issue a "Penalty" charge is a mystery.

 

On railway property, what they're saying is that you have breached by-law 14 of the railway by-laws...

 

14. Traffic signs, causing obstructions and parking

 

(1) No person in charge of any motor vehicle, bicycle or other conveyance shall use it on any part of the railway in contravention of any traffic sign.

 

(2) No person in charge of any motor vehicle, bicycle or other conveyance shall leave or place it on any part of the railway:

-- (i) in any manner or place where it may cause an obstruction or hindrance to an Operator or any person using the railway; or

-- (ii) otherwise than in accordance with any instructions issued by or on behalf of an Operator or an authorised person.

 

(3) No person in charge of any motor vehicle, bicycle or other conveyance shall park it on any part of the railway where charges are made for parking by an Operator or an authorised person without paying the appropriate charge at the appropriate time in accordance with instructions given by an Operator or an authorised person at that place.

 

(4) In England and Wales

-- (i) The owner of any motor vehicle, bicycle or other conveyance used, left or placed in breach of Byelaw 14(1) to 14(3) may be liable to pay a penalty as displayed in that area.

-- (ii) Without prejudice to Byelaw 14(4)(i), any motor vehicle, bicycle or other conveyance used, left or placed in breach of Byelaw 14(1) to 14(3) may be clamped, removed, and stored, by or under the direction of an Operator or authorised person.

-- (iii) The owner of the motor vehicle, bicycle or other conveyance shall be liable to an Operator or an authorised person for the costs incurred in clamping, removing and storing it provided that there is in that area a notice advising that any vehicle parked contrary to these Byelaws may be clamped, removed and stored by an Operator or an authorised person and that the costs incurred by an Operator or an authorised person for this may be recovered from the vehicle’s owner.

-- (iv) The power of clamping and removal provided in Byelaw

 

14(4)(ii) above shall not be exercisable in any area where passenger parking is permitted unless there is on display in that area a notice advising that any vehicle parked contrary to these Byelaws may be clamped and/or removed by an Operator or an authorised person.

 

Are you able to go back to this station and get pictures of any and all signs in the car park whether or not they seem to be related to parking.

 

This is an important first step and may help.

 

If the signs contradict themselves or the by-laws or don't set out the terms properly you'll have a good case to get this penalty cancelled.

You must make sure it definitely says Penalty & not Parking. If so then it is a Council issued ticket that must be paid.

 

It's not council. And whether or not the OP has to pay it, at the moment depends on a lot of factors.

Also, re-reading the first post, you need to be careful that your leasing company don't just pay up and then try to charge you not only for the ticket but a nice hefty "admin fee" for the privilege!

 

It might be worth giving them a ring (with a follow up letter) saying that you do not authorise them to make any payments regarding parking tickets on your behalf.

 

 

Can you scan in the ticket and upload it as a PDF please (after removing things like registration, ticket numbers, bar and/or QR codes). But in the mean time, what are the full name and registration details of the company that has issued the ticket.

 

We know it's Indigo, but Indigo what?

well if anything is owed

its owed to the railway company NOT indigo

and they can be totally ignored even if it ID a penalty charge notice

they cant issue Penalty charge notices on behalf of a railway company.

 

I very much suspect the OP has simply used the wrong word

and its a PARKING charge notice.

commonly the train operators and their gophers like to pretend that they are using Byelaw14 when all they want is some money.

not if they have you card number!!

They like to hide those sort of clauses in the very small print and dress them up in legalise. I would contact them just to be 100% sure.

 

Explain you got a ticket but are appealing it, ask them not to pay if / when Indigo contact them as keeper demanding £X in return for not prosecuting. Point out to your lease company that this is not relevant land for the purposes of the POFA 2012 so there is no keeper liability. Indigo will probably try getting money this way even though they know there is no keeper liability at station car parks where By-laws apply.

 

Who is named on the V5 as keeper? You or the leasing company? If you have the V5 for the vehicle it's probably you (and you can ignore the above), but if you don't then it'll be the leasing company (and you need to contact them pronto).

 

Ultimately, only the driver can possibly be liable for a By-law breach, and you have absolutely no obligation (legal or otherwise) to name the driver, which is why you should never name the driver or say anything to infer who the driver was.

Indigo used to be meteor Parking. There are Indigo Park services and Indigo Park solutions, both the same company and members of the BPA.

 

As I understand the first post, the OP parked in a residential area near the station. Is this area part of the car park?

 

More investigation is need hence the requirement to see the ticket. Make sure that your car reg and any reference numbers are obscured though

 

EDIT. Also which particular station was it as there are quite a few in Kent

SF, they're owned/run by the same controlling minds but they are not the same company. It's a very important distinction in this case. Only one of the companies has a written contract with the TOC's to issue tickets. If they're issued by the other company then there is no permission to issue a ticket/charge and their claim is doomed to fail from the beginning irrespective of anything else.

 

INDIGO PARK SERVICES UK LIMITED. Company number 02362957 may well have written authority to operate on railway property. But the tickets tend to come from...

INDIGO PARK SOLUTIONS UK LIMITED. Company number 02518720 which do not.

 

It is a small but very important difference.

You raise a significant point. 'Solutions' don't do court but the BMPA states they have issued nearly 18,000 tickets. 'Services' show that they have issued nearly 25,000 tickets and took court action 20 times last year

Spoke to the lease company, they have not been contacted by Indigo and as the ticket was fixed to windscreen it is my responsibility to engage with the company. They would not receive the parking ticket themselves directly.

They have also placed a note on my account that they are not to make any payment on my behalf.

 

I also have a copy of the transcript with my lease company emailed to me.

That's good news. It means that you'll be able to deal with these clowns directly without having to worry that the lease company are going to stick their oar in.

 

It's been touched on before, but it's important to remember that Indigo can only enforce against the driver of the vehicle at the time of the parking event. There is no keeper liability because it is not relevant land and has it's own by-laws. They are, as far as I know, entitled to write to the keeper (once) to ask them who was driving, but the keeper has no obligation to reply.

 

The keeper will probably get all the usual pleading, begging and then threatening letters from Indigo, then ZZPS and ultimately Wright Hassle (yes, honestly, that's what they're called) but you're safe in the knowledge that as keeper, they cannot do a damn thing to you.

 

They'll threaten to take the driver to court (Magistrates, not County (although they'll threaten both)) but before they can do that, they'd have to be sure of who the driver was (see above).

 

After 6 months, they lose the ability to prosecute and/or enforce the penalty charge against the driver and it simply goes away (unlike council/police penalty charges) although that might not stop their silly threatening letters. But it's their money and they can waste it if they want to.

I have it scanned but only on my mobile and it doesn't give me the option to blank out the personal information.

 

If it helps at all, I'm happy to do it for you if you send me the ticket by PM. Once edited, the original will be deleted.

 

I can assure you that I don't work for Indigo :lol: I'd rather gouge my own eyes out with a rusty spoon than work in the PPC industry.
