    • I have just read the smaller print on their signs. It says that you can pay at the end of your parking session. given that you have ten minutes grace period the 35 seconds could easily have been taken up with walking back to your car, switching on the engine and then driving out. Even in my younger days when I used to regularly exceed speed limits, I doubt I could have done that in 35 seconds even when I  had a TR5.

    • Thank you for posting up the results from the sar. The PCN is not compliant with the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012 Schedule 4. Under Section 9 [2][a] they are supposed to specify the parking time. the photographs show your car in motion both entering and leaving the car park thus not parking. If you have to do a Witness Statement later should they finally take you to Court you will have to continue to state that even though you stayed there for several hours in a small car park and the difference between the ANPR times and the actual parking period may only be a matter of a few minutes  nevertheless the CEL have failed to comply with the Act by failing to specify the parking period. However it looks as if your appeal revealed you were the driver the deficient PCN will not help you as the driver. I suspect that it may have been an appeal from the pub that meant that CEL offered you partly a way out  by allowing you to claim you had made an error in registering your vehicle reg. number . This enabled them to reduce the charge to £20 despite them acknowledging that you hadn't registered at all. We have not seen the signs in the car park yet so we do not what is said on them and all the signs say the same thing. It would be unusual for a pub to have  a Permit Holders Only sign which may discourage casual motorists from stopping there. But if that is the sign then as it prohibits any one who doesn't have a permit, then it cannot form a contract with motorists though it may depend on how the signs are worded.

I dispute the full amount claimed as shown on the claim form.   Do you dispute this claim because you have already paid it? No, for other reasons.   Defence 1. The Defendant is the recorded keeper of XXXXXXX  2. It is denied that the Defendant entered into a contract with the Claimant. 3. As held by the Upper Tax Tribunal in Vehicle Control Services Limited v HMRC [2012] UKUT 129 (TCC), any contract requires offer and acceptance. The Claimant was simply contracted by the landowner to provide car-park management services and is not capable of entering into a contract with the Defendant on its own account, as the car park is owned by and the terms of entry set by the landowner. Accordingly, it is denied that the Claimant has authority to bring this claim. 4. In any case it is denied that the Defendant broke the terms of a contract with the Claimant. 5. The Claimant is attempting double recovery by adding an additional sum not included in the original offer. 6. In a further abuse of the legal process the Claimant is claiming £50 legal representative's costs, even though they have no legal representative. 7.

    • 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.

Well done to you surreyscouse. I hope everything turns out well. I have to admit though you are a lucky as the Garcia in the CL semi at Anfield in getting a response from MBNA. All I’ve had is a hand written postcard (covered in footballs) from someone in Ireland – I can’t make out the signature but they are apparently going to call me this week. Generally their responses to me are “the greatest work of fiction since laws of fidelity were included in the French marriage service…”

 

Keep us all posted.

Had the DPA stuff. Sent the LBA. Had some letters from “Head ofs” some threatening me with collection agencies, default notices etc which I responded to indicating my intentions to litigate. Could n’t afford to go to court at that time as I did n’t have the fees at that time of the month so held off. Going to file my claim next Tuesday. Why they sent me a postcard Christ knows! It has a phone number on it so I’ll ring it when I get home. I’ve written to them at

Timing a bit out of sinc here but thank you. I will keep you updated.

 

You have my express permision to continue stalking me.

 

I left a message on Michael Rhodes Voicemail last night for Stuart Johnson to call me to see what action he is going to take with regards to the DPA breaches. I read through all the info they sent to me, about 50 pages and not in date order so took me ages to get that sorted. Loads of mistakes, still oads of info missing and curiously no mention at all of any of my conversations/emails with the advocates office. even when I threaten them with court action they can't get it bloody right !

 

Will update later when Stuart Johnson calls !

 

Hello! Sorry, been off forum for a day due to going out and drinking too much, oh and having my purse nicked on train! Perfect!:sad:

 

Thanks for permission to continue stalking - what a relief! Saves me having to find somebody else!;)

 

Can't wait to hear what SJ says!

You know what, I'd phone mbna Michael Rhodes 01244 672040 and ask them why they aren't taking you seriously. I mean, you are threatening court action and they send you a bloddy postcard !!!!! If it was me, I would go mental at them !

Email response from Stuart Johnson:

 

Dear surreyscouse

 

I'm afraid I don't have personal voicemail, so I was unaware of any message. Given the previous mis-understandings over your requirements when discussed over the phone, I think it is prudent that we stick to written communications. There is a response to your previous email going out to you today.

 

Kind regards,

 

Stuart

 

 

I have left numerous messages for Stuart/Gavin for them to email their letter. Gavin has left for the day and the last he left for me is that they are not entering any verbal or email communication. that is not what they are stating above.

 

I have just spoken to Michael Rhodes P.A. who said that i will just have to wait to get the letter. Not having that was put through to Stuart Johnson. He was in a pretty bad modd let me tell you. He will not email or fax the letter to me. Would not give a reason and said he was very busy and was terminating the call. He hung up. I was not agressive, abusive or confrontational. I am now going to email Michael Rhodes to request he emails it to me.

email to michale rhodes

 

Dear Mr Rhodes,

I have been in recent communication with Gavin Theobald and Stuart Johnson. Both of whom have always been professional and courteus towards me.

I am fully aware that a prompt response has been issued to my email dated 23rd May 2006. Stuart informed me that a response was going out last night which was correct. Unfortunately he did not inform me it was being sent by recorded delivery so I did not know I should make arrangements for somebody to be at home to sign for it. At present the letter is sitting in our local post office waiting to be collect which I am unable to do until Wednesday next week.

I have asked on numerous occasions for the letter to be emailed or faxed to me. Most recently about 10 minutes ago when I spoke to Stuart Johnson who was unwilling without reason to forward a copy to me citing his reason as being very busy and terminating our call. He could have easily emailed the letter to me in the time we were speaking.

I see no valid reason why this letter cannot be emailed to me, after all, you have accepted and sent countless emails to me in the past.

Please can you arrange for the letter to be emailed to me before 5pm today so I can consider whatever comments have been made.

Yours sincerely,

surreyscouse

I agree, even another staff member asid to me earlier that they are just really busy at present.

 

Anyway, here is what I think has prompted him to be so short, either:

 

A. He has already given me a massive refund and has had to give me more and is really peeved about the fact that he has given in to me ! and that's why he is being awkward

 

B. He has sent a real agressive letter and just wants me to read it and has really left the ball in my court.

 

C. They really are that busy that he just can't be bothered to take any more letters off me this week and is trying to clear what he already has.

 

Regardless of this, I have never experienced somebody going from being very hospitable to being so very rude and uncompromising in such a short space of time. Oh, and they have definately switched off their read receipt for emails from me ! 8)

Switched off their read receipts for you ?

 

Or just not reading your emails ?

Either way mate, I have printed off confirmation they have received them so they can't use the "we mustn't have received it " gag on me ! You may be right, perhaps they are just deleting them. It would be different I bet if my heading was "payment details inside this email" :lol:

Thats odd... When I emailed them last week I didn't get a delivery confirmation, just a read receipt... Which (I believe) is quite common with large companies - it stops confirms of good email address if someone scans/spams their network... In fact a lot of large companies also switch off read receipts for the same reason...

I get both a delivery and read receipt, although you are quite correct that a lot of companies switch it off for the very reason you pointed out. Maybe it's not just me and that their server can't cope with sending the messages back out

Just got home and I have a couple of standard letters from Matthew Mc Grath - yes you've guessed it he's another "Head of " so I am including him on every email with a delivery AND a read receipt.

 

The letters are pretty standard

 

One starts - "Act Now, Before it's too late. The above account will soon be written off as a bad debt, unless you call to make payment arrangement.............

 

The other (much the same tone)

 

"Only a small amount of our customers set out to deliberately avoid making paymments and when we have eviidence that this is the case, we apply sufficient resources to pursue them..........."

 

 

Any advice before I respond?

Hi Eric,

 

I would drop them an email saying that you have received their postcard. I take it their 14 days after the LBA is up so I would email them and say to them that you are willing to extend your deadline until noon on 30th May for them to comply with your request or you will issue a summons without further notice. See where I'm going, bank holiday Monday so it means that they will need to action your request today. Make it clear that you will not offer a further extension under any circumstances. This will rattle as we now know that they are well and truly on the ropes !

 

What do you think ?
