    • I have received a PCN from Euro Car Parks for MFG - Esso Cobham - Gravesend. I was completely unaware that there was any such limit for parking and always considered this to be a service station. I stopped there to use the toilet, have a coffee and made a couple of work calls. I have read the previous topics on this location which suggest I can ignore this and ECP will not take legal action. The one possible complication is that the vehicle is leased by my employer so I do not want to involve them with the associated reminders and threatening letters. The PCN was first issued to the leasing company Arval who have notified ECP of the hiring company. I have attached a copy of the PCN Notice to Hirer with details removed as per instructions. What options do I have or should I just pay the PCN promptly at the reduced rate of £60? img20240424_23142631.pdf
    • What you have uploaded is a letter with daft empty threats from third-party paper tigers.  Just ignore it. What we need to see is the original invoice you received last October or November.
    • 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.

    • 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.

Hi all,

 

I've been a member of this site from quite sometime and have been

watching the peoples success in claiming back what is theirs so I

thought I'd have a go to.. (I did start a while ago though)

 

18th March 2006 - Request for DPA - 40 Days to comply

25th March - Bank statements arrive.

Go through statements with my highligher pen- bank owes me £825

5th April - LBA sent - 14 days to comply

 

11th April - Banks apology & acknolegement letter stating that they will get back to me no later than 11th May 2006

 

2nd May - Bank Sends Out Letter Offering Me A £375 as a gesture of goodwill

 

4th May - I decline there gesture of goodwill unless it is part of the contribution towards the full payment, if they didn't agree then it would be off to court.

 

16th May - Bank Replies Stating That £375 was there full and Final Settlement and that they're sorry that it wasn't the answer I was looking for.

 

Now, I'm not sure where exactly I go from here, I did go for the N1 form but wasn't sure if that was the next step.

 

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Your next step is court action to reclaim your charges + court fees+ interest.

 

You have given them plenty notice now its time to get tough!!

 

Good Luck

Hi Woolfie,

 

Thanks for the advice

 

My next step I guess would be the N1 form, now the form seems pretty straight forward but it says Brief details of claim, is there anything specific that needs to be written in that box or would it be different interms of individuals claims?

Not 100% sure about the English System but it is a wee bit different in Scotland.

If you've already submitted the N1 form, then forget about Moneyclaim.

 

They are just different ways of achieving the same thing.

 

Moneyclaim........ On-line.

N1 form............. Direct.

 

Good luck with your claim.

Not strictly true.You can claim from when you first became aware...this can be taken from the receipt of statements or your first contact with the bank asking for the money back.

Although they could have arguement if you leave it too long before launching Court action following comms with the bank.Barclays assume 8 weeks is reasonable.

If there has been a period longer than 8 weeks I would send a letter before action.If one was previously sent with NO action taken simply state that you are now proceeding from earlier comminication in which they did not act.

Give the 14 days again.Any updated charges schedules should be sent additional charges in the interim period from the last contact can be added.

Few banks actually challenge limitation if it is just out on 6 years.There is currently claims going beyond this and arguements are in place to contest the limitation based on Banks concealment

Thanks for that Martin, if you look at the top of my post you can see how far I have got.

 

The thing is I started over a year ago and got confused about N1 form and Money Claim form, it's only now it's in the media that I have realised that I should have gone ahead with it.

 

Which is the better option to request court action, money claim or N1..

This is your choice personaly I prefere the open court route.

Here are some things to consider;

Moneyclaim is for money only so you cannot address other points on the claimform ie default removals.

You cannot get remission/exemption of fee using Moneyclaim.

Moneyclaim restricts your use of characters on the N1.

You can not claim more than 5k using Moneyclaim.

Filing in your local court gives greater control in the event of needing warrants after judgement etc ....you simply visit the court and hand the form in.

Local court can take longer issue time this can be up to 7 to 10 days.however as with Northampton you are free to call them anytime with a claim number and check on the progress or status.I have always found local Court staff well informed and happy to help.

Of course it can be argued that most claims are transferred to local courts anyway within 6 weeks or so and that is true.

So the choice is yours.As I say I have done 3 online claims (my first ones) but am now in the middle of 3 open Court ones which were filed on N1 with attatchments.I have to say I prefere this way.

As stated previously In your case I would re-send a letter before action and ammend/resend the charges schedule again.
