    • 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.
    • Defence and Counterclaim Claim number XXX Claimant Civil Enforcement Limited Defendant XXXXXXXXXXXXX   How much of the claim do you dispute? 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. The Particulars of Claim is denied in its entirety. It is denied that the Claimant is entitled to the relief claimed or any relief at all.

    • 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.

Have they not stopped at all taking the premiums from your account?

 

This is important as I think that means that you still have a contract of insurance with them. They cannot cancel one sided.

The first thing is to get yourself insured, have you thought about cancelling the direct debit and taking out a policy with another company. Most insurers will give a big discount for new policies. There are some good search sites on the net.

The next thing is to establish why your policy has been cancelled and contacting the FSA. Have a read through Hastings T & C's see if anything applies. It could as simple as failing to notify motoring convictions, no claims bonus etc.

 

i think ill just take out a policy somewere but they took some money from my account on the 19th soon after telling me that they cancelled my policy , but i have written a letter to their head office to explain why the have cancelled my polcy and im still waiting for a reply.thanks mate.

You should fully contest this in court. Your argument is mens rea, that is you did not intentionally break the law and had no reasonable way to know you were breaking the law, they would have to prove beyond reasonable doubt that you were aware you were driving without insurance to make anything stick at all in this case, and I doubt they could!:cool:

hi...

i was send to stop by the police on last sunday

the police officer asked me if my insurance company know i had 6 points previously (for no insurance on 5-2005) i said do i have to tell them ? (honestly im not originally form uk i had no idea we had to tell them about the points ) any way i had my insurance made in 1-2006 for me and my wife.

today i ringed my insurance company and they said that my insurance will be canceled and all my money that i paid since the beginning (1-2006) will be returned and they are just waiting for a letter from police )

the police officer that send me to stop and canceled my insurance was saying that i had made a fraud and the penalty form that was between 5-10 years inside

on all the time i had insurance i lost count of times i was stopped by police more than 10 times at least from last august to now and after all this time they just canceled my insurance and im afraid of what may happen in court

any ideas ? please

First things first, yes you should have declared the points to your insurer.

Same goes for any modifications to the car, any claims (including glass/windscreen damage) Golden rule, if in doubt, tell you insurer, they will make the decision on what is relevant and what isn't.

Back to your case though, the "police officer" who kindly pointed out that you have committed fraud and could face jail time for 5-10 years is talking out of his rear end. Yes, technically speaking non-disclsure is classed classed as fraud but i have never heard of a case of an insurer prosecuting for it, especially not for something minor like a few points.

From what you have said i think that as your insurer has taken the option to CFI (cancel from inception) your policy and give you a full refund rather than backdate the ammendment and charge you any extra premium from inception, then the worst case scenario you could be looking at is Driving Without Insurance which i beleive will only constitute more points (so a possible ban if you go over 12 in total) and a fine.

Suggest that you start a new thread confirming the exact situation.

 

What you should do, is find your Insurers complaints process and give them a call. The Insurers will have a complaints/customer relations/technical team (different companies have different names) that handles these type of enquiries. Keep phoning them until you get someone to handle this personally for you.

 

The Insurers have to abide by strict rules, being that car Insurance is a legal requirement. If they cancel, they have to provide a minimum of 7 days notice in writing.

 

If you are struggling to get any help from your Insurers, give the FOS a call.
