    • You probably do need to ignore it, but show it to us just in case. Cover up your name, address and anything that could ID you like your car reg. HB
    • Hi all! I've now had a "final notification letter" through from ECP. I assume I should continue to ignore this, but is there likely any action I need to take? Do you need to see a copy of the letter? Thanks
    • Please will you upload the defence in a PDF format document
    • Afternoon All - after 3 weeks of silence, this morning I received an email from HMCTS advising that P2G have rejected my claim. Decide whether to proceed Parcel2Go.com has rejected your claim. You need to decide whether to proceed with the claim. You need to respond before 4pm on 25 June 2024. Your claim won’t continue if you don’t respond by then. This is their ‘defence’ Their defence Why they disagree with the claim When choosing a service on the Defendants website, the Claimant chose to book their order with Evri and selected to take out £20 parcel protection which comes with the service. On the first page of the booking process, the Claimant entered the value of £265 for the contents and was offered parcel protection for loss or damages against their goods for £13.99 + VAT. The Claimant selected no, which then produced a pop up which explained 'We strongly recommend that you protect the full value of your item(s).' however, the Claimant still did not take this protection out and instead continued with the booking process. At the end of the booking process, the Claimant was offered this again which was refused and the Claimant continued with the booking by accepting the terms and conditions which re-iterates the information provided in the booking process. The parcel was sent, however, seems to be delayed in transit. The parcel finally started to track again, however, when delivered the parcel was empty with no contents. As such, the claim was re-opened and attempted to be settled for the £20 protection taken out in the booking process. This was refused by the Claimant as they felt they should be paid the full amount of the value entered when booking. Unfortunately, due to the refusal of the parcel protection in the booking process the Defendant is not liable to settle the claim to the value and only to the parcel protection taken out. The Defendant shall rely on the Terms and Conditions of carriage in particular section 9. The Defendant understands that the contents have not be handled with due care and attention, which is not being disputed, however, they are disputing the amount they are liable to. They have requested mediation, I’m sure not least to drag the case out even longer, but I can see no benefit to me in this and so shall reject it. As ever, I’d welcome your thoughts guys. g59   
    • I doubt HMCTS holds any data on whether arrests by AEAs required police assistance.  They couldn't or wouldn't provide data on how many of warrants issued were successfully executed - just the number issued!  In my experience, arrest warrants whether with or without bail are [surprisingly] carried out with little or no fuss.  I think it's about how you treat people - a little respect and courtesy goes a long way. If you treat people badly they will react the same way. Occasions when police are called to assist are not common and, having undertaken or managed many thousands of these over the years, I can only recall a handful of occasions when police assistance was necessary. On one occasion, many years ago, I arrested and transported a man from Hampshire to Bristol prison on a committal warrant. It was just me and he was no problem. I didn't know the Bristol area (pre Sat Nav) and he was kind enough to provide directions - seems he knew the prison.  One young chap on another committal warrant jumped out of his back window and I had to chase him across several garden fences.  When he gave up (we were both knackered) I agreed to drive by his girlfriend's house to say farewell for a while.  I gave them a few moments and he was fine. The most difficult are breach warrants but mainly in locating the defendant as they don't want to go back to prison - can't blame them.  These were always dealt with by the police until the Access to Justice Act transferred responsibility from them to the magistrates' courts. The fact was the police did not actively pursue them and generally only executed them when they arrested someone for something else and found they had a breach warrant outstanding.  Hence the transfer of responsibility.

    • 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.

Otherwise they will just end up sending more letters and possibly people round

 

Let me assure you, no-one will come anywhere near your home address. Like Crem, I advocate the, 'do not respond method'. It has certainly been my method on over 15 of these invoices over 3 years, and I have yet to see anyone come round or any court papers. There is not one threat these clowns have writtent to me has ever amounted to anything.

Hi fellow criminals,

 

I have just got a PCN from a company called Valley Enforcement Ltd. based in Exeter. The car park in question belongs to a church. I had parked there many times before but had not realised it was now a private pay and display car park. The invoice is for £100. As I understand it this all comes under the law of conract and the company can only claim for any loss suffered. In this case the loss suffered was for three hours parking at £1 per hour, ie £3. I am minded to send a PO for £3 in final settlement and inform the police if I receive any other demands. Has anybody any thoughts on this approach ?

Hi I'm new to this,

 

I'd just received a 'charge certificate' from UKPC today for a parking charge of 70 pounds (or 40 if paid within 14 days) for the contravention that my vehicle was parked in a disabled bay without displaying a valid permit in Tesco. I couldn't see the sign at the time but I went back afterwards but couldn't really see any signs stating the penalties for parking there without a permit.

 

Is there anything I can do?? Please help!! :|

 

Thanks

I believe from reading other posts on here that if the private land owner, i.e. the church in this instance, charges for car parking, then that parking area should be subject to a rateable charge value too. Might be worth checking with the council that the church is indeed paying their rates. :)

do nothing - blue badge scheme does not apply in private car parks. read the PPC stickies.

 

Thanks for the quick reply!

Do I do nothing now or wait for a letter from them or send a letter as in the template suggested by Bernie the bolt (on p1 of this thread)??

 

Thanks!

The most common recommendation currently is do nothing now, then do nothing again when they write to the RK, then finally do nothing when you get letters from them or their DCA threatening to eat your dog and sell your children into slavery.

Dear lamma and crem, thanks for your previous reply.

 

I have been back to that car park where i got the ticket and there are signs behind the space saying something like 'permit holders' only and other sign opposite saying something about 'blue badge holders'

 

should I still do nothing about the charge certificate i received or should I send them a template letter or one suggested by petej2811 in another thread:

 

"I see your charge as unlawful, uneforceable and I am not liable. I will not be providing any payment and your continued pursuit of this matter will constitute an offence under the Protection From Harassment Act 1997. I consider the matter closed and am explicitly instructing you not to contact me again for any reason, except to confirm that the matter is now closed"

 

sorry for keep hassling you guys but I'm just a bit of a worrier! :S - the only thing I'm worried about is court action...

 

Thanks!

By engaging them in correspondence you will ecourage them to give you even more hassle. Just ignore them, as advised and get on with your life.

Hi,

 

I have ignored the private parking ticket I have received. They issued me a ticket saying I was not parked in bay but there was no sign stating that you have to be parked in bay.

 

They sent me a letter saying that they have got my details from DLVA to pay up. I ignored that letter and now I've got a letter from County Court. What should I do now???

Hi all,

 

I am also new to this site,Some of the work you guys do is amazing! I have only just received a Excel Parking charge notice in Bradford West Yorkshire.

60 pound fine if paid within 14 days, I was just about to make payment when i stumbled across this very informative site. I mistakenly parked in a disabled spot think it was a parent and toddler bay (this was a retail park). I was gone for literally 5 minutes,Came back to find 2 attendants writing out a ticket which they proceeded to hand to me,My pleas fell on deaf ears as "he had already written the ticket" Firstly the car is registered to my father and secondly i am very confused, some people are saying i should send of letters after they have written to my dad and some people recommend that staying silent is the best way. What should i do remain quite or fire of some template letters after they have got in touch???

Or should I just pay the damn fine and save all the AGGRO ,bearing in mind that it is the old mans car???? (I still have 7 days to pay)

Many thanks for all you help

mannyblue69, just ask yourself first of all, why by any stretch of the imagination, would this company be entitled to £60 because you made a small mistake of parking in the "wrong" bay?

 

When you come to the right answer on that question (because there is ony one answer) then your only real choice is how best to go about ignoring their rediculous scamvoices. You could use the template letters at the appropriate time, but it is often said now that replying in any fashion simply confirms to the PPC that they have their hooks into a biting fish.

 

Ignoring completely doesn't even confirm to the PPC that their letters are being opened or read. Not replying at this stage does not have any bearing on your right to defend yourself if they were ever stupid enough to issue real court papers. This is the route I would take, but the choice is yours. :)

Hi again,

 

I wrote before regarding the fine of 40 pounds for parking in a disabled space in a tesco carpark 'without displaying a valid permit'. I have ignored the fine and now have got a letter of 'final reminder' for 70 pounds.

 

Should i ignore it or write them a letter to say i won't be paying it??

 

Thanks.

my partner recently parked in a private car park, he was 15 minutes past his ticket and was given a £80 parking fine, with 7 days to pay it. As he went away that day admittidaly he forgot.

 

He then recieved a letter demanding he pay £120 within 7 days, can anyone advise me what he should do? I've read through some of the threads on here and got some very helpful information.

 

Do you think we should fight this?
