    • What do you guys think the chances are for her?   She followed the law, they didnt, then they engage in deception, would the judge take kindly to being lied to by these clowns? If we have a case then we should proceed and not allow these blatant dishonest cheaters to succeed 
    • I have looked at the car park and it is quite clearly marked that it is  pay to park  and advising that there are cameras installed so kind of difficult to dispute that. On the other hand it doesn't appear to state at the entrance what the charge is for breaching their rules. However they do have a load of writing in the two notices under the entrance sign which it would help if you could photograph legible copies of them. Also legible photos of the signs inside the car park as well as legible photos of the payment signs. I say legible because the wording of their signs is very important as to whether they have formed a contract with motorists. For example the entrance sign itself doe not offer a contract because it states the T&Cs are inside the car park. But the the two signs below may change that situation which is why we would like to see them. I have looked at their Notice to Keeper which is pretty close to what it should say apart from one item. Under the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012 Schedule 4 Section 9 [2]a] the PCN should specify the period of parking. It doesn't. It does show the ANPR times but that includes driving from the entrance to the parking spot and then from the parking place to the exit. I know that this is a small car park but the Act is quite clear that the parking period must be specified. That failure means that the keeper is no longer responsible for the charge, only the driver is now liable to pay. Should this ever go to Court , Judges do not accept that the driver and the keeper are the same person so ECP will have their work cut out deciding who was driving. As long as they do not know, it will be difficult for them to win in Court which is one reason why we advise not to appeal since the appeal can lead to them finding out at times that the driver  and the keeper were the same person. You will get loads of threats from ECP and their sixth rate debt collectors and solicitors. They will also keep quoting ever higher amounts owed. Do not worry, the maximum. they can charge is the amount on the sign. Anything over that is unlawful. You can safely ignore the drivel from the Drips but come back to us should you receive a Letter of Claim. That will be the Snotty letter time.

    • Yes, it was, but in practice we've found time after time that judges will not rule against PPCs solely on the lack of PP.  They should - but they don't.  We include illegal signage in WSs, but more as a tactic to show the PPC up as spvis rather than in the hope that the judge will act on that one point alone. But sue them for what?  They haven't really done much apart from sending you stupid letters. Breach of GDPR?  It could be argued they knew you had Supremacy of Contact but it's a a long shot. Trespass to your vehicle?  I know someone on the Parking Prankster blog did that but it's one case out of thousands. Surely best to defy them and put the onus on them to sue you.  Make them carry the risk.  And if they finally do - smash them. If you want, I suppose you could have a laugh at the MA's expense.  Tell them about the criminality they have endorsed and give them 24 hours to have your tickets cancelled and have the signs removed - otherwise you will contact the council to start enforcement for breach of planning permission.

    • 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.

Think you could get it in writing off them that they would not record a short payment.

 

Dont forget to add the other things up too........

 

all the coffe/Tea/Lucazade/etc consumed under duress writing the letters

petrol and wear and tear of tyres going to the sorting office for the concert tickets

 

The sleepless nights you are gonna have thinking what to do with 4k

(has to be worth a few boxes of Nytol)

Extra use of Electricity as you sit up watching the TV instead of sleeping ??

 

All adds up really..........rather like their penalties !!!

he did say that this would be recorded. I think I might be better going down the "I'm suing you for DPA breach route" and see what sort of response that gets. Surely I'm right in thinking it would cost them more than £4k to deal with the court summons and defend in court ?

 

 

Well look at it this way

 

What have you got to lose ????????????

Well I think I kind of made that suggestion in my letter which they have chosen to ignore. I think they are trying to call my bluff on this one, I think I will send a stern fax when I'm back in the office on Wednesday giving them 7 days to sort their act out, if nothing by then I will issue the summons.

 

The end of their letter said that there will be no more reductions on the balance (did not mention why) and said I am free to take whatever action I want under current legislation. I will read it properly later but that is a "come on, let's have it" sort of comment !

 

It was raining heavily this morning so I put on my shell suit jacket that I wear for playing footy, so I have some proper Scouse attitude today ! :x

Hello guys, sorry for delay in coming back, been away from a computer since last week, anyway, here is the fax that will go off a little later this morning,

 

LETTER BEFORE ACTION

Section 7 – Data Protection Act 1998

 

 

Dear Sirs

 

ACCOUNT NUMBER: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

 

 

I am in receipt of your letter signed by Stuart Johnson dated 23rd May 2006 and duly noted your comments.

 

Despite making reference to my email dated 23rd May 2006, Mr Johnson has completely omitted to make any reference to your obligations under the data protection act, which have quite clearly not been maintained.

 

I faxed you on 16th May 2006 informing you that you had a period of 7 days to consider your companies position before I issue court proceedings to recover costs and damages directly due to your breaches of the data protection act.

As Mr Johnson has not addressed this issue at all, and the file notes that I have received, albeit incomplete, clearly show that the data protection act has been breached, I am prepared to allow a period of seven days from the date of this fax for you to consider your position further.

 

Should I not receive any meaningful dialogue from your company at this time relating specifically to this issue, I will have no alternative other than to issue proceedings without further notice to yourselves. This deadline will expire at noon on 7th June 2006.

 

I am formally putting you on notice that should this matter have to be resolved in court, you will be required to explain exactly how your penalty fees are broken down and full details of how my personal information is used and stored and full explanations of your companies breaches of the data protection act.

Yours faithfully,

surreyscouse

Good Luck surreyscouse.

 

Given the choice between signing up with MBNA again or contracting a severe strain of genital wart then I'd seriously consider taking the latter!

 

Worz

I used to be a dummy, stuffed full of straw and standing in the field of life. And like the straw-filled dummy I was I accepted my lot in life and carried on, tied to a stake in the miserable field of depression as the elements beat me day and night. But there came a time when the elements had gone too far and the string holding me to the stake fell rotten to the ground. The elements had tried to beat me, but instead had set me free!

I did read somewhere that one bank did tell it's staff not to expect pay rises this year but a larger than usual one next year, but I can't remember who. Definately not this bunch of clowns, they will just find another way of going through our pockets !

Jeez, what are this lot like ?

 

received a letter on Saturday 3rd June from Rachel Claridge advising me I will have a response within 28 days, do they not realise that I gave a 7 day deadline which expires on 7th June. Her letter says any queries then to contact Gareth Tunnicliffe on 01244 672628. Ah Well, best give him a call this morning and make sure he is aware of the deadline, see what he says !

 

How are we all today ?

You are much better to stick to letters then phone calls but if you do feel you need to phone then record the call.Do not let them dictate to you this is your claim and your terms.

point taken,

 

Here is the email just sent:

 

Good morning Gareth,

Please extend my thanks to Rachel Claridge who responded to my fax of 31/05/2006 so promptly. I received her standard reply on 3/6/2006.

Unfortunately, Rachel has given an indication of 28 days for you to respond. You will see from my fax that I have already extended my deadline to noon on 7/6/2006 at which time a summons will be issued unless agreed to the contrary under extreme circumstances.

I felt it would be prudent and courteous to point this out now so as to avoid any confusion.

Kind regards,

surreyscouse

 

He has already read it so let's see what he says.

Ok Guys, brief update.

 

I received a letter yesterday saying account over limit and in arrears. Well, I spoke to Gareth Tunnicliffe (nice enough guy) who said that 2 x £25 had already been credit and £250 + £260 still waiting to be credited even though it was a few weeks ago they said it would be refunded. He said this could show in the next day or two and that will bring the amount well under the credit limit. I said it should also clear the arrears and he said no it probably won't. I pointed out that indirectly I have paid some of the charges and as such it should count towards the minimum payments. He will check and come back to me.

 

On the DPA breaches, he said a letter will be coming out to me in the next few days. He bought this up not me. I pretty much said yeah whatever as long as you are aware that at noon tomorrow the summons gets issued. He did say he would try and get it out tonight or he could fax it (I will give him the fax number if needs be). I did tell him that unless there is some fantastic news in their letter then it probably is most likely that a summons will be issued anyway.

 

I don't think they realise the consequences of not sorting this out. I will put them to rights in court for breaching 3 or the 8 DPA principles and countless other sections of the act. This will cost them a fortune if they even try and contest it !

 

I will let you know how me and Gareth get on later.
