    • 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.

Hello all!

I made a start claiming charges back from Capital One and had the usual letters of offers of "goodwill" (yeh right!) which I refused back in November.

What with Christmas and all I couldn't afford to put in to Court but now I can do so - do I have do start at the begining again and allow the time scale to run or can I now put in my claim to Court?

Any and all advice VERY gratefully received.

Thanks in anticipation!

TA

Hi Trudianne,

 

good luck with your claim. I am in court with Cap One tomorrow. They are a sneaky bunch i warn you, i started my claim in april 2006, but i was also asking for default to be removed.They have contacted the court several times to say claim has been settled when it hasnt, so do keep in contact with your local court.

Sent my claim to Court on 14 Feb - they have cashed my cheque but I have heard nothing from them. Should i chase them or do you think they've held it with the bank charges?

I am right in thinking that we can go for credit card charges and it is just the bank charges that are all stayed??????

Beginning to doubt everything..........

Just hang in there Trudianne. The courts can take a couple of weeks to get back to you but it might be worth phoning to ask. THey shouldn't stay a credit card case - if they have, it's a msitake.

Hi Trudianne, please dont have doubts, it will all work out ok. You probably havnt heard anything, because the courts are behind processing claims, as they have so many! I had a court case on 5th ofFebruary 2008 and a judgement was declared by the judge, but i called on friday and it still hasnt been typed up, as they have so much to get through.They have promised to get it done by monday for me.Just have faith and you will see it will be ok. If you can call them, they are usually very helpful indeed, and will let you known whats going on. Good luck and stay strong.

Thanks for support guys! :grin: It helps having people confirm you are doing ok.

 

I had the papers back from Court yesterday and Cap One have until 19 to file a defence. Do you think they will or will they pay up?

 

Interesting I had a general order as well saying that perhaps the parties might like to consider whether the case should be stayed pending outcome of oft..............

 

Considered it .....nah, don't think so.

 

Cap One can't insist that the case is stayed can they as it is credit card NOT bank charges.

if they run to their usual form they will pay before it goes to court. On my claim they paid at the same time as submitting their defence and stated in the defence claim settled...

 

stick at .. you WILL win :D
