    • Quick update. I've now recieved a letter before action from them with a PAP form to return enclosed, still no credit agreement however. I assume just a case of following the PAP thread and returning form with no CCA as the reason?
    • Thanks for coming back and letting us know. Obviously we totally disagree with their decision.  Their remortgaging could only have gone wrong if they had ended up with a CCJ.  And how do you get a CCJ?  If you lose in court and then defy the court and don't pay.  Even if you lose in court, you don't get a CCJ as long as you pay within the 30 days ordered by the court.  Even had they lost in court the judge would have disallowed the interest and the £70 Unicorn Food Tax that PE made up.  There was no advantage whatsoever for giving in and paying now. But thanks to you for letting us know - a hell of a lot of users don't.
    • Hi everyone.   Before I say anything, TFL finally responded to the email I sent last week:   Thank you for your email, we acknowledge the signed documents you have returned in preparation for your hearing.   We note that this matter is causing you some stress and anxiety, however this is not a reason for TfL to discontinue proceedings. It is not unusual for passengers that have been summonsed to court to experience these symptoms, and we do have some empathy with your concerns.   However, as previously stated, TfL do not accept out of court settlements, and you will have the opportunity at your hearing, to provide your mitigation to the court prior to a decision being reached by them on how they intend to deal with this matter (usually a fine).   I am sorry that this decision is not more favourable.   Yours sincerely   James Vallis     At least he sounds more sympathetic in this email…   Only one week to go until the court hearing and I am so so nervous. I’ve prepared some questions and answers in preparation for what to say to the magistrate. It will help calm me down if I know roughly what to expect. If you could give feedback on it that would be great. If you have anything to add please do let me know.   As far as I know the court hearing will happen in these stages: Introduction and statement of facts Pleading guilty for the journeys I made with my mother’s card Penalty sentencing Appeal (if charged with a criminal record)   Am I guilty? Yes.   Why did I not pay the fare legally? Last year there was a lot going on in my life and I was struggling financially so to relieve some of this I used my mother’s Oyster card. I know it’s not an excuse and it’s still wrong.   Why do I not accept a criminal record? I really don’t want it to affect my chances of finding a job in the future. I will be the one earning money in my family so I am doing my best and studying hard to be able to get a good job. A criminal record would mean that regardless of how hard I’m working I won’t get the job I want after I graduate. This fills me with so much regret, sadness and disappointment in myself. I just want to be a good daughter for my mother because she’s already had to deal with many hardships in her life and I don’t want to make it any harder for her.

    • 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.

Saw my car with a clamp on it this morning and found out it was due for non payment of a PCN which I appealed against.

 

Now i never received the council's response to my appeal and the only letter i recently received was on the Wednesday

( which i was told by the enforcement office, was hand delivered! which I think was posted via royal mail)

 

The letter from the bailiffs stated i owe £200 as the for the PCN and court an legal fee due immediately.

 

I was actually going to response to their letter today, but then saw the car clamped and i was charged £438 which had to be paid within 2 hours otherwise it would have been towed away at an additional charge. Had no choice but to pay and now am fuming over this ridicules fee which i cannot afford at the moment.

 

Apparently once it goes to court, I don't get the court's decision and goes straight to a bailiff.

 

Would appreciate advise on how i can take some of the charges back.

They cant demand it within 2 hours of clamping. There are rules they have to follow.

 

Can you give a breakdown of everything thats happened and a list of charges they levied and what for.

Any advice i give is my own and is based solely on personal experience. If in any doubt about a situation , please contact a certified legal representative or debt counsellor..

I received a letter dated 26/01 for an amount of £203.

only received this letter on Wednesday.

 

I did not have a chance to respond and was on my list of things to do for today.

Unfortunately, I was unlucky and they already clamped me this morning at 8 am and I had to pay £438.

 

The enforcement agent told me there is a time limit and the car will be towed away ( he mentioned 2 hours)

had no other choice at the time as it was my first time being clamped.

 

He also mentioned there was a hand-delivered letter on the 5th Feb to my address warning me about the charges and possible action which I never received either.

I also learned they will only clamp your car around CCTV so they monitor any fiddling with the clamp and the chain.

Which bailiffs is it? The last part is fiction. They can and will clamp anywhere they can. They dont need to monitor it. If they come back and the clamps gone or damaged, thats their evidence.

I have read the thread, but that was a mistake on change of address from their side. can't see how it helps my situation.

 

Will can the council on Monday morning to see what option I have but I doubt they will offer any solutions. Who do I have to get involved as help, my MP or the borough which the PCN was issued?

I'm confused over the chain of events here. Is it possible you can give a listing of dates and what happened please?

 

Incidentally a Bailiff may immobilise a vehicle and come back 2 hours later to remove it. The 2 hours is to allow you to try and get payment.

I am confused by the above?

 

If you had not received any previous notices then it can ONLY be because all statutory notices from the local authority had been sent to a different address. What you need to do is to find out the contravention date. Next, you need to get your V5C (Log Book) in front of you. You need to look at page two and go down to the very bottom left hand corner where you will find a small box entitled Doc.Ref. There will be a date in the box. Can you let us know both dates (date of contravention and Doc.Ref date)

the date of contravention was the 2nd June 2018. I appealed against this PCN online from their website. can't find my v5 and can't see the box on a copy I have.

 

I called the council and initially, they told me to contact the bailiffs as the case is now with them. I insisted to talk to someone from the council and they gave me a council liaison number which I have to call back tomorrow

You mention that you have located a COPY of the V5C but that that you cannot see the DOC.Ref box. Are you looking at the front page 1 of the V5C or do you have a copy of page 2?

 

If you do have a copy of Page 2, then you will find the small box at the very bottom left hand side.

Carefully read post 14 again

You are trying to establish if they knew your correct address by examining those dates are you not ?
