    • Regarding a driver, that HAS paid for parking but input an incorrect Vehicle Registration Number.   This is an easy mistake to make, especially if a driver has access to more than one vehicle. First of all, upon receiving an NTK/PCN it is important to check that the Notice fully complies with PoFA 2012 Schedule 4 before deciding how to respond of course. The general advice is NOT to appeal to the Private Parking Company as, for example, you may identify yourself as driver and in certain circumstances that could harm your defence at a later stage. However, after following a recent thread on this subject, I have come to the conclusion that, in the case of inputting an incorrect Vehicle Registration Number, which is covered by “de minimis” it may actually HARM your defence at a later stage if you have not appealed to the PPC at the first appeal stage and explained that you DID pay for parking and CAN provide proof of parking, it was just that an incorrect VRN was input in error. Now, we all know that the BPA Code of Practice are guidelines from one bunch of charlatans for another bunch of charlatans to follow, but my thoughts are that there could be problems in court if a judge decides that a motorist has not followed these guidelines and has not made an appeal at the first appeal stage, therefore attempting to resolve the situation before it reaches court. From BPA Code of Practice: Section 17:  Keying Errors B) Major Keying Errors Examples of a major keying error could include: • Motorist entered their spouse’s car registration • Motorist entered something completely unrelated to their registration • Motorist made multiple keying errors (beyond one character being entered incorrectly) • Motorist has only entered a small part of their VRM, for example the first three digits In these instances we would expect that such errors are dealt with appropriately at the first appeal stage, especially if it can be proven that the motorist has paid for the parking event or that the motorist attempted to enter their VRM or were a legitimate user of the car park (eg a hospital patient or a patron of a restaurant). It is appreciated that in issuing a PCN in these instances, the operator will have incurred charges including but not limited to the DVLA fee and other processing costs therefore we believe that it is reasonable to seek to recover some of these costs by making a modest charge to the motorist of no more than £20 for a 14-day period from when the keying error was identified before reverting to the charge amount at the point of appeal. Now, we know that the "modest charge" is unenforceable in law, however, it would be up to the individual if they wanted to pay and make the problem go away or in fact if they wanted to contest the issue in court. If the motorist DOES appeal to the PPC explaining the error and the PPC rejects the appeal and the appeal fails, the motorist can use that in his favour at court.   Defence: "I entered the wrong VRN by mistake Judge, I explained this and I also submitted proof of payment for the relevant parking period in my appeal but the PPC wouldn't accept that"   If the motorist DOES NOT appeal to the PPC in the first instance the judge may well use that as a reason to dismiss the case in the claimant's favour because they may decide that they had the opportunity to resolve the matter at a much earlier stage in the proceedings. It is my humble opinion that a motorist, having paid and having proof of payment but entering the wrong VRN, should make an appeal at the first appeal stage in order to prevent problems at a later stage. In this instance, I think there is nothing to be gained by concealing the identity of the driver, especially if at a later stage, perhaps in court, it is said: “I (the driver) entered the wrong VRN.” Whether you agree or not, it is up to the individual to decide …. but worth thinking about. Any feedback, especially if you can prove to the contrary, gratefully received.

    • deed?  you mean consent order you and her signed? concluding the case as long as you nor she break it's conditions signed upto? dx  
    • Well tbh that’s good news and something she can find out for herself.  She has no intention of peace.  I’m going to ask the thread stays open a little longer.   It seems she had not learned that I am just not the one!!!!  plus I have received new medical info from my vet today.   To remain within agreement, I need to generally ask for advice re:  If new medical information for the pup became apparent now - post agreement signing, that added proof a second genetic disease (tested for in those initial tests in the first case but relayed incorrectly to me then ), does it give me grounds for asking a court to unseal the deed so I can pursue this new info….. if she persists in being a pain ? If generally speaking, a first case was a cardiac issue that can be argued as both genetic and congenital until a genetic test is done and then a second absolute genetic only disease was then discovered, is that deemed a new case or grounds for unsealing? Make sense ?   This disease is only ever genetic!!!!   Rather more damning and indisputable proof of genetic disease breeding with no screening yk prevent.   The vet report showing this was uploaded in the original N1 pack.   Somehow rekeyed as normal when I was called with the results.   A vet visit today shows they were not normal and every symptom he has had reported in all reports uploaded from day one are related to the disease.

    • 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 all,

 

I am posting this mail to get help and great advice with regard to a court order to obtain evidences as Fraud happened to my phone account.

 

Police team is investigating the case . They arrested a Suspect too. The police team requested evidences to implicate suspect and put the matter before court .

 

When all these evidences such as Call Recordings and mail contacts which perpetrator allegedly had with the phone company were requested from the company , they told me to get a Court Order and submit so that they will produce all evidences requested.

 

So Please let me know the correct 'Application Form' to apply for getting a Court Order to make the phone company to produce necessary evidences they hold to me.

 

Should I apply for Norwich Pharmacal Order in this case ?

 

If so , please tell me can I apply myself ?

 

Which is the correct Court Form for this NPO order - N208 or N244 or any other ?

 

It would be a great help and I will be grateful for all who advise.

If the police want the evidence then I don't understand why they're not able to approach the company and to get it themselves. They are much more powerful than you and I would have thought that the company would jump to attention.

 

Which company are we talking about here?

 

I'm really quite amazed that the police have arrested somebody and want to prosecute them and yet are asking you to collect the evidence for them. Either I've misunderstood – or something doesn't ring true.

You seem to have a penchant for tying yourself in unnecessary procedural knots.

I base this on both this thread (where the police can get the evidence they need... the most they need do if the telco is 'being difficult' over YOUR call records, rather than the offender's calls, is get you to sign a form consenting to the release of your data), and also the thread

I'm going out on a limb here, but based on the fact the police can insist the company supply details for any calls the OP didn't make, it seems likely either the police want the OP to look at all the call records and identify which they did make, or ask the OP to give details of calls they made.

 

The police can request the call records from the telco., and if the telco say "of course we'll release records of any offence, but we need the OP's permission to release any records that may have been their calls and not the offender's", then all the OP need do is provide the police with a form consenting to the telco. releasing the records.

 

I've known the opposite, for the telco. to refuse to release to the account holder records of calls made by offenders where it was clear they weren't made by the account holder, and were never going to be shown on the account holder's bill. (For example, where a phone was stolen at

Thank you very much for all who replied and advised.

I am now briefing some points for consideration with regard to Police action.

 

Its around 06 months since I reported this Fraud to police via Action Fraud . Then Police had statement from me to investigate. Upon my complaint they arrested suspect and interviewed and then released as Suspect denied Fraud. Police said told me no evidence to continue . I many more times told them by mails and phone calls to get the evidences from the Mobile company such as mails, calls to prove the case giving all the details of mobile company contacts .

 

But Police ddnt do instead they after months told me to get all these evidences myself and send to them to decide prosecution. You know when I sent mails or letters I ddnt even got a reply from Police who is handling my case. I dont know why .

 

And then I applied SAR to get all evidences from the mobile company. After a month , They sent me some Notes with some details But denied sending me the Calls recordings and some mails which they said as those calls were not made by me and it doesnt come under my personal data so that they cant disclose to me. .

 

Mobile company informed me that '' We have located a number calls but we are currently unable to provide you with a copy of these due to the fact you were not the person making the call(s) in question. The information that you are seeking relates to a third party and although they were purporting to be you a copy of these calls does not constitute your personal data as defined by the Data Protection Act 1998.''

 

Further , they told me If Police requested Mobile company directly then they would produce to the police team . So I told Police to request the company and waited . I was struggling to contact the Police handling my case . May be he was busy or backlog of inquiries..!! I dont know. Unfortunately the Police conatacted me nearly after 02 months , saying that the Mobile company's Police Disclosure Team has required a court order to produce all evidences to the police.

 

When I contact the mobile company inquiring about this court order they told me that '' We will not be able to supply the information without a court order, normally when the police request information from us it is completed using RIPA, Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act 2000, your case was discussed and did not fall into these criteria.As your case was classified as Interception this would be outside our remit to supply such information without a court order.''

 

Now I am really in a miserable situation. If I can do myself to get this court order I will . Because I find difficulties to hire a Solicitor as I am having very very low income . Please help..

What outcome do you want?

Prosecution? Leave it to the police.

The police can get a court order if they need. You muddying the waters isn’t required.

Sorry, I ddnt include the exact Fraud done to my account.

 

In fact , the suspect used all my personal details , pw etc.. and contacted company impersonate me thus got a expensive Mobile device . He changed my original address , mails etc . He had many more calls with the mobile company until he received the device. Thats why company has stated as ' We have located a number calls but we are currently unable to provide you with a copy of these due to the fact you were not the person making the call(s) in question.''

 

So it was an interception as per company's law. Hope I elaborated the matter.

 

Can I apply for the Order using N 244 ? PLEASE ADVISE. I will appreciate and be thankful to all replies.

You are again over complicating things.

“So it was an interception as per company's law” : the company don’t make the law. It was a fraud and the police can gather the evidence and the CPS can prosecute.

If the company insist on a court order to release information, the police and CPS should be the people to do this, not you.

 

From what you have said this wasn’t a case of interception of telecommunications being the ongoing offence (intercepting the communications of others can be an offence under RIPA).

Perhaps the telco suspect the offender got your details and password by “interception”, but that isn’t really relevant - let the police & CPS act. If they aren’t acting : you going for a court order

a) is going to be expensive using a solicitor

b) you’ll tie yourself in knots trying to do it “on your own” (you might get an order and then find you haven’t asked for EXACTLY the right order!)

c) Ultimately likely won’t help much.

Andy’s reply is correct ...... for the OP asking about THEIR data.

 

It doesn’t remain correct once the OP clarifies it is the offender’s data the OP wants (such as the address the offender changed the account to to get a phone sent to them). This isn’t the OP’s personal data and the telco doesn’t have to release it under a SAR, either before or after GDPR comes into force.

Not sure a civil court route can be used to obtain information that will then be used to prosecute someone for a criminal offence. Or if a civil court order can be used, then the application would have to state reasons for the request and confirm scope of how the data will be used.

 

Agree with previous comments, that the Police should get you to consent to your data being obtained by Police and the Police should be making the request. I am not sure why a member of the public having suffered a criminal offence against them should be required to get involved in the investigation process. If it were me I would be making a complaint to the Police and asking them to do their job.

We could do with some help from you.

Now I FEEL LIKE TO DO AS YOU SUGGESTED. I may find difficult seeing solicitor as it seems to be expensive . When I contacted a Solicitor explaining the matter and Norwich Pharmacal Order , he sent me the following ;

'' My fees for a NP order will be in the region of £5-15000 plus vat in advance of carrying out the services ( the ‘Retainer’) . You will also need court fees in the region of £2000. we need circa 5-7 days ''

I was about to faint after reading the cost for the court order and lawyer fees. will this order cost as such ?

 

The police told me that company require a court order. Thats all . When I asked who needs to get this order , you , the police team or me ? he still ddnt send me reply . I wll try to contact him again. Police in charged already told that the case has been transferred to a Detective and CPS ( Crown Prosecution Service ) to decide prosecution upon gathering evidences .

As an ordinary member of the public, how would you know how to get the information required for Police/CPS to use to prosecute someone ?

 

Having worked in financial services, where we did occasionally receive requests from Police and members of the public, from a pracitcal point of view it was always the Police that made such requests related to criminal matters and we had staff that specifically dealt with such requests.

They had to provide the information in a certain way that was acceptable to Police/CPS for them to use.

 

I cannot remember ever seeing a member of the public obtaining a court order that allowed data not involving them directly e.g a phone call from a third party or document fraud by a third party, to be released. Such a court order would need a Solicitors to prepare and I am not sure an NPO is the process.

  • 4 weeks later...

Hi all ,

 

I am again thankful to all you those who advised me for my problems. I contacted Police and Mobile co and explained in details about what is interception in my case. After weeks a new officer from Mobile co told me and sent mail apologising for the incorrect / wrong advice and information given by the one who handled my inquiries . Now they said No need for a court order to disclose these evidences. This is what they said '' the Police can send a request to Mobile co Disclosure police team under Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act (RIPA) request and the copy call can only be provided once in receipt of a production order from the police SPOC.''

 

If Police make sure that the alledged suspect is to be implicated upon identifying voice and other email contacts suspect had with the mobile co, then they will produce a case before a judge. As its a criminal case,

Can I ask the Judge upon decides Frausdster is guilty, then can I ask the Judge to make Fraudster to pay a compensation to crime victim - me ?

What would be the punishement for the Fraudster - jail for some days ? or just release him giving a warning ?

 

I will be very much grateful for all your replies and advice.

If fraud has been identified, the mobile phone company should no longer be chasing you for the cost of the phone / calls made.

Then, they are the victim of the fraud, not you.

 

 

As a result, I doubt you'd be in line for any compensation more than a token sum.

 

 

The punishment will depend on:

a) first the fraudster being prosecuted, and then being found guilty,

b) the circumstances of the case (the loss involved, if there was any abuse of trust or position)

c) the value involved, and if there were other frauds also perpetrated by the offender,

d) any mitigating or exacerbating factors, and the defendant's prior character, and

e) which court the defendant is sentenced in (cases may be heard as summary cases, on indictment, or if found guilty in Magistrates Court, the court can pass the sentencing on to the Crown Court if they feel their sentencing powers are insufficient).

 

 

 

Fraud by false representation

S.1 Fraud Act:

https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2006/35/section/1

 

(3) A person who is guilty of fraud is liable—

 

(a) on summary conviction, to imprisonment for a term not exceeding 12 months or to a fine not exceeding the statutory maximum (or to both);

 

(b) on conviction on indictment, to imprisonment for a term not exceeding 10 years or to a fine (or to both).

 

 

Magistrates Court Sentencing Guidelines

https://www.sentencingcouncil.org.uk/the-magistrates-court-sentencing-guidelines/

then there are at least 8 steps that get considered, with multiple factors to each step:

 

https://www.sentencingcouncil.org.uk/offences/item/fraud/

 

 

 

So, there are a wide range of possible outcomes, and without MUCH more detail about the offence(s) and offender, no-one is going to be able to predict beyond that wide range.
