    • Thanks for posting the CPR contents. i do wish you hadn't blanked out the dates and times since at times they can be relevant . Can you please repost including times and dates. They say that they sent a copy of  the original  PCN that they sent to the Hirer  along with your hire agreement documents. Did you receive them and if so can you please upload the original PCN without erasing dates and times. If they did include  all the paperwork they said, then that PCN is pretty near compliant except for their error with the discount time. In the Act it isn't actually specified but to offer a discount for 14 days from the OFFENCE is a joke. the offence occurred probably a couple of months prior to you receiving your Notice to Hirer.  Also the words in parentheses n the Act have been missed off. Section 14 [5][c] (c)warn the hirer that if, after the period of 21 days beginning with the day after that on which the notice to hirer is given, the amount of unpaid parking charges referred to in the notice to keeper under paragraph 8(2)(f) or 9(2)(f) (as the case may be) has not been paid in full, the creditor will (if any applicable requirements are met) have the right to recover from the hirer so much of that amount as remains unpaid; Though it states "if any applicable ...." as opposed to "if all applicable......" in Section 8 or 9. Maybe the Site could explain what the difference between the two terms mean if there is a difference. Also on your claim form they keeper referring to you as the driver or the keeper.  You are the Hirer and only the Hirer is responsible for the charge EVEN IF THEY WEREN'T THE DRIVER. So they cannot pursue the driver and nowhere in the Hirer section of the Act is the hirer ever named as the keeper so NPC are pursuing the wrong person.  
    • This is simply a scam site.  It's been shown to be a scam in the national press and on national TV. Please fill in the the forum sticky and upload the invoice you've received. In fact what you have is an invoice, not a fine, a private company doesn't have the power to issue fines.

    • Good afternoon, I am writing because I am very frustrated. I received a parking fine from MET Parking Services Ltd , ( Southgate park Stansted CM24 1PY) . We stopped for a quick meal in Mcdonalds and were there fir around 30 mins. We always do this after flights and never received a parking fine before.  Reason: The vehicle left in Southgate car park without payment made for parking and the occupants southgate premises. they took some pictures of us leaving the car. i did not try and appeal it yet as I came across many forums that this is a scam and I should leave it. But I keep getting threatening letters.  Incident happened : 23/10/2023 I did contact Mcdonalds and they said this:  Joylyn (McDonald’s Customer Services) 5 Apr 2024, 12:05 BST Dear Laura, Thank you for contacting McDonald’s Customer Services. I’m sorry to hear that you have received a Parking Charge Notice following your visit to our Stansted restaurant.   We've introduced parking restrictions at some of our restaurants to make sure there are always parking spaces available for customers.   We appreciate that some visits such as birthday parties or large group visits might take longer and the parking restrictions aren't intended to stop this. If you think your stay will exceed the stated maximum parking time then please speak to a manager in advance.   Your number plate is scanned by our Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) system when you enter our car park, and then again when you leave. If you have overstayed the maximum time allowed, you will not be notified straight away- a Parking Charge Notice will be sent to you via the post.   If you feel that a Parking Charge Notice has been issued in error, please contact our approved contractors who issued the charge in order to appeal the charge. Unfortunately McDonald's are unable to revoke parking tickets- the outcome of the appeal is final and cannot be overturned by McDonald’s.   Many thanks for taking the time to contact McDonald’s Customer Services.   Can someone please help me out and suggest what I should do next?  Thank you

    • 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.

The two tickets that were issued on the same day are as shown earlier in the thread - they issued me a ticket to a location I've never been to - then issued one to where my car actually was.

 

It seems that the two accesses were for these tickets - the one legitimate ticket - and one that's obviously a fake. I'm disappointed that I've not had paperwork come through the post for that one yet though.

the 3rd application may be enough to bash them with for a lack of excuse to use the KADOE. I bet they made some error like with the wrong place ticket adn they were double checking. That is not what the DVLA database is for so will be a breach of contract. It would be interesting to see if they use a shotgun approach to some illegible ticket and asked for a number of other similar vehicle reg numbers but as the DVLA cant tell you this we will never know.

Given they've technically got tickets for all 3 accesses - would it be enough? Ok, one of them was erroneously/maliciously issued, but they have the tickets, would that not be enough? Or is it just because they've done multiple for the same date?

dont guess as it is irrelevant but rest assured that at least one of their access of the DVLA database is in breach of the data protection legislation.

 

As said, I bet they didnt relly on the informatrion they had on their copy of the PCN so you will have to wait and see if they send out a NTK for the duff ticket.

 

If they do then you have them for telling lies to get your details

(not the correct vehicle identified on the NTD and so how can they explain sending you a demand even if they supply the correct pictures of a non event?

Received "Final Reminder"s for these today. (04/12 and 10/12)

- I actually received 2 for the 4th

- one with the times for the ticket that was allegedly issued at Erdington YMCA (Which I've not had any correspondence about so far) and

one issued 15 or so minutes later at the correct location.

 

Both letters State "Birmingham Science Park, B7 4BB)

- and the PCN Serial numbers on them are sequential

- so, they're now "reminding" me about one ticket I've had no correspondence about.

25Mb upload of NTK's reduced to

 

operator pictures I see too.

please don't hit Quote...just type we know what we said earlier..

DCA's view debtors as suckers, marks and mugs

NO DCA has ANY legal powers whatsoever on ANY debt no matter what it's Type

and they

are NOT and can NEVER  be BAILIFFS. even if a debt has been to court..

If everyone stopped blindly paying DCA's Tomorrow, their industry would collapse overnight...

Thanks! What significance do operator pictures have?

 

Just noticed, on page 1 of that document, the piece of white paper on the floor next to the car in the right hand image is the other parking ticket that was issued (the erdington one)

what significance?

they have to show some evidence of what it is you have done wrong in the NTK and that menas piccies if they have them.

They cant just produce stuff at a later date so you need to compare the images with the original NTD and then try and determine of they really relied on the screen ticket to issue a demand or used the images and issued a NTK at the wrong time if they arent relying on the NTD info.

 

It is clear that by sending you a reminder they are not relying on the NTD but on pictures that dont relate to where the supposed event took place.

 

This menas if they get serious you will need to find that location and photograph it to show that the place looks nothing like the background on their pictures.

that will sink that part of any action and will make them look like liars when they come to the rest of their evidence

Unsure as to whether it was this ticket or the one here: 

 

 

However, I've just found out that I've had a CCJ filed against me (£301) at my old address - this is by it popping up on my Credit Report.

 

Not 100% sure what I should do here.  I've still got the stuff here, and I think I've got the original tickets somewhere, but I've no idea which it was.

 

Should I just pay? or should I apply to set aside (with intent to claim costs) and try and fight it?

 

EDIT: In terms of defence, Primacy of contract based on the fact it was my work parking spot might not be easy to do - as I left that company on bad terms (Basically left telling the owner of the company I felt he bullied me into leaving).  So I doubt I'll get cooperation with them re: showing contracts etc.  Regarding other bits, I'm not 100% sure which ticket this was, etc etc, so I'm not sure where best to go from here.

Was made on 06/07/2022.  I had to contact the court to get information regarding the CCJ as I've not had any paperwork.

OK, that's "good" news, you still have the chance to pay within the 30 days ordered by the court, which would mean no CCJ registered.

 

Before deciding - how did the CCJ end up an old address?  Have you moved since coming here in 2018 and not updated the vehicle details with the DVLA?

We could do with some help from you.

Sorry to keep bombarding you with questions.  In total have you got three tickets from these fleecers?  I'm trying to quickly read the two threads and it's difficult for me to keep up!

So two tickets, not three?

 

Did you reply to the Letter Before Action?

Yes, snotty letter as shown here: 

 

Three tickets. 

 

There were 2 incidences, however, in one case they issued 2 tickets for the same thing - I believe they didn't change the location on their terminal from the previous place they issued one, and issued it as if I'd parked there, then realised, and re-did the ticket, but didn't cancel the first.

 

I'm frustrated as I can't find the actual tickets that were issued :( I know I kept them

OK.  What we constantly get here is that someone is in the fight with the fleecers, they move, they don't tell the fleecers the new address, so the likes of EPS send a county court claim form, it's not defended within 14 days, so the fleecers win by default.  Pretty sure this has happened to you.

 

First thing.  Today, immediately, get a letter off to the fleecers -

 

 

Re: PCN no. XXX and PCN no. XXX and PCN no. XXX

 

please kindly note that I no longer live at XXX but instead I am now resident at XXX.

 

Yours

 

 

1st class post, free Certificate of Posting from the post office.  That will at least stop one CCJ becoming three.

 

As for the court order you have, well you have two very distasteful options.

 

1.  Pay the charlatans their £301.  That would make the CCJ go away.  No more hassle.  But money in the fleecers' pockets.

 

2.  Apply for set aside.  This is easy and we could guide you.  However, the cost is £275 with no guarantee of success.

 

We could do with some help from you.

In theory there is a third, even more unpalatable option.

 

3.  Defy the court and don't pay.  We've never seen the fleecers try to enforce a CCJ for a single ticket.  However, your credit file would be knackered for six years.

Don't worry, if they don't turn up you can SAR the fleecers.
