    • Hi, we are looking to get some opinions on weather or not to bother fighting this PCN. This comes from a very big retail park parking where there are restaurants, hotel, amongst other businesses. Apparently there is a max 3 hours limit which we were not aware of. This means taking kids to softplay and then having a meal on one of the restaurants will more than likely take you over the limit. Makes us wonder how they deal with people staying in the hotel as the ANPR seems to be in public street that leads to the different parking areas including the hotel.  1 Date of the infringement 26/05/2024 2 Date on the NTK  31/05/2024 3 Date received 07/06/2024 4 Does the NTK mention schedule 4 of The Protections of Freedoms Act 2012? [Y/N?]  YES 5 Is there any photographic evidence of the event? Entry and exit photos however, based on the photographs we are almost sure the photos are taken on public street. This is the location I believe photos are taken from.  https://maps.app.goo.gl/eii8zSmFFhVZDRpbA 6 Have you appealed? [Y/N?] post up your appeal] No Have you had a response? [Y/N?] post it up N/A 7 Who is the parking company? UKPA. UK Parking Administration LTD 8.

    • Thank you for posting their WS. If we start with the actual WS made by the director one would have doubts that they had even read PoFA let alone understood it. Point 10  we only have the word of the director that the contract has been extended. I should have had the corroboration of the Client. Point 12 The Judge HHJ Simkiss was not the usual Judge on motoring cases and his decisions on the necessity of contracts did not align with PoFA. In Schedule 4 [1[ it is quite clearly spelt out- “relevant contract” means a contract (including a contract arising only when the vehicle was parked on the relevant land) between the driver and a person who is—(a)the owner or occupier of the land; or (b authorised, under or  by virtue of arrangements made by the owner or occupier of the land, to enter into a contract with the driver requiring the payment of parking charges in respect of the parking of the vehicle on the land; And the laughable piece of paper from the land owners cannot be described as a contract. I respectfully ask that the case be dismissed as there is no contract. WE do not even know what the parking regulations are which is really basic. It is respectfully asked that without a valid contract the case cannot continue. One would imagine that were there a valid contract it would have been produced.  So the contract that Bank has with the motorist must come from the landowner. Bank on their own cannot impose their own contract. How could a director of a parking company sign a Statement of Truth which included Point 11. Point 14. There is no offer of a contract at the entrance to the car park. Doubtful if it is even an offer to treat. The entrance sign sign does not comply with the IPC Code of Conduct nor is there any indication that ANPR cameras are in force. A major fault and breach of GDPR. Despite the lack of being offered a contract at the entrance [and how anyone could see what was offered by way of a contract in the car park is impossible owing to none of the signs in the WS being at all legible] payment was made for the car to park. A young person in the car made the payment. But before they did that, they helped an elderly lady to make her payment as she was having difficulty. After arranging payment for the lady the young lad made his payment right behind. Unfortunately he entered the old lady's number again rather than paying .for the car he was in. This can be confirmed by looking at the Allow List print out on page 25. The defendant's car arrived at 12.49 and at 12.51 and 12.52  there are two payments for the same vrm. This was also remarked on by the IPC adjudicator when the PCN was appealed.  So it is quite disgraceful that Bank have continued to pursue the Defendant knowing that it was a question of  entering the wrong vrm.  Point 21 The Defendant is not obliged to name the driver, they are only invited to do so under S9[2][e]. Also it is unreasonable to assume that the keeper is the driver. The Courts do not do that for good reason. The keeper in this case does not have a driving licence. Point 22. The Defendant DID make a further appeal which though it was also turned down their reply was very telling and should have led to the charge being dropped were the company not greedy and willing to pursue the Defendant regardless of the evidence they had in their own hands. Point 23 [111] it's a bit rich asking the Defendant to act justly and at proportionate cost while acting completely unjustly themselves and then adding an unlawful 70% on to the invoice. This  is despite PoFA S4[5] (5)The maximum sum which may be recovered from the keeper by virtue of the right conferred by this paragraph is the amount specified in the notice to keeper under paragraph 9[2][d].  Point 23 [1v] the Director can deny all he wants but the PCN does not comply with PoFA. S9 [2][a] states  (2)The notice must— (a)specify the vehicle, the relevant land on which it was parked and the period of parking to which the notice relates; The PCN only quotes the ANPR arrival and departure times which obviously includes a fair amount of driving between the two cameras. Plus the driver and passengers are a mixture of disabled and aged persons who require more time than just a young fit single driver to exit the car and later re enter. So the ANPR times cannot be the same as the required parking period as stipulated in the ACT. Moreover in S9[2][f]  (ii)the creditor does not know both the name of the driver and a current address for service for the driver, the creditor will (if all the applicable conditions under this Schedule are met) have the right to recover from the keeper so much of that amount as remains unpaid; You will note that in the PCN the words in parentheses are not included but at the start of Section 9 the word "must" is included. As there are two faults in the PCN it follows that Bank cannot pursue the keeper . And as the driver does not have a driving licence their case must fail on that alone. And that is not even taking into consideration that the payment was made. Point 23 [v] your company is wrong a payment was made. very difficult to prove a cash payment two weeks later when the PCN arrives. However the evidence was in your print out for anyone to see had they actually done due diligence prior to writing to the DVLA. Indeed as the Defendant had paid there was no reasonable cause to have applied for the keeper details. Point 24 the Defendant did not breach the contract. The PCN claimed the Defendant failed to make a payment when they had made a payment.   I haven't finished yet but that is something to start with
    • You don't appeal to anyone. You haven't' received a demand from a statutory body like the council, the police or the courts. It's just a dodgy cowboy company trying it on. You simply don't pay.  In the vast majority of these cases the company deforest the Amazon with threats about how they are going to divert a drone from Ukraine and make it land on your home - but in the end they do nothing.
    • honestly you sound like you work the claimant yes affixed dont appeal to anyone no cant be “argued either way”  
    • Because of the tsunami of cases we are having for this scam site, over the weekend I had a look at MET cases we have here stretching back to June 2014.  Yes, ten years. MET have not once had the guts to put a case in front of a judge. In about 5% of cases they have issued court papers in the hope that the motorist will be terrified of going to court and will give in.  However, when the motorist defended, it was MET who bottled it.  Every time.

    • 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, I am a newbie to the site & am seeking some advice.

 

Firstly, a quick summary;

 

My son received a SD from Connaught Collections(on behalf of 1st Credit) by second class mail and no prior efforts to contact him and no details.

 

He has sent the CCA letter to CC who have responded to the effect that the file is closed & future correspondence should be with 1st Credit.

 

He will be sending the CCA letter to 1st Credit next.

 

Mean time he will be preparing a SD set aside application; this is really where the questions come in re the correct completion of Form 6.4:

 

Is item a) the name of the alleged creditor?

Who completes the date, time, place section?

Is item d) the name of the alleged creditor?

Is item e) the address of the alleged debtor?

 

Does the form have to be signed by a solicitor?

 

If there is no County Court listed in the SD, does the set aside application just go in to the local one?

 

Form 6.5; does the affadavit have to be signed/sworn/witnessed at the County Court?

 

Is there a fee for an SD set aside application?

 

Thanks

separator.gifHi,

 

Welcome to CAG... you're in the right place for support and great advice!

 

Item a)=alleged creditor

Item d)=alleged creditor

Item e)=Your address

 

No...no need for a solicitor

 

Local County Court is where you go to swear an affidavit... a Court Clerk will help you and you swear the affidavit in front of them, not a judge.

 

There is no fee to apply for the SD set aside.

 

It is NOT a scary thing to do...the court clerk was really helpful and reassuring.

 

The Date and Time section is filled in by the County Court... they will keep the form 6.4, fill in the date and then post it back out to you.

 

Hope this helps... keep us posted.

 

:)

Thank you for your helpful response. It is very heartening to see the amazing support the members of this forum provide to people who are feeling very vulnerable in a somewhat alien "world".

 

Thanks for confirming those items, however I would like to clarify one or two of them:

 

When filling items a) & d) I presume that it would be 1st Credit that would be named & not Connaught Collections.

 

Are there any grounds for set aside - with Connaught having "closed" their file & returned it to 1st?

 

Is it a good idea or a necessity to send the CCA letter to 1st in the meantime?

 

Thank you again for the advice & will keep the forum posted on progress.

Hello again,

 

You should fill in a) & d) with the name of the company who have issued the SD, so IMO that would be Connaught Collections.

 

Grounds for the set aside would be that:

1) The SD was not served correctly... i.e. by 2nd class post not requiring a signature... they should at least attempt to serve it in person.

2) Your son does not acknowledge the debt or is unclear as to how the figure claimed has been calculated.

3) That he has requested a CCA from CC but been told the file is closed (which does not clarify the situation)

4) He has now requested further information from 1st Credit in the form of a CCA in order to establish the debt is enforcable

 

All advice given here is from my own, very recent, experience. My set aside hearing is next week.

 

My thread is here:

http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/debt-collection-industry/134225-advice-please-sd-received.html

 

Hope this helps but obviously others may be along to offer other opinions.

I think it's seen as an abuse of process if they go straight to issuing an SD? also seen as vexatious?

  • 4 weeks later...

Hi Folks

 

Firtsly thanks you to the members for your advice and the wisdom gained from your experiences.

 

Here is an update on what has transpired over the past few weeks & a request for a bit more advice.

 

Firstly what has happened:

 

CCA letter sent to 1st C - no response!

Set Aside application made to County Court - hearing set for later this week

Con Coll replied to say that they were willing to have the SD set aside & would not be attending the court.

 

Now for the advice needed:

 

I assume that the set aside hearing will go ahead - is it advisable/necessary for us to attend the hearing?

 

Is there any more that needs to be done in order to put this matter to bed?

 

Thanks again

Leatherman,

 

It is YOU that are applying for the set aside so it really is in your best interests to turn up on the day. Otherwise the judge might think that you're not so serious about wanting it set aside.

 

Take along all the documents including the letter from them saying that they won't be opposing the set aside.

 

It might also be worth claiming for your costs as well (day off from work etc), time to go down to the court to swear the affadavit etc

Thank you for your advice.

 

We attended court and the formalities were over in minutes. Con Coll did not attend or oppose the set aside - "they hadn't realised that it was contested"! Judge was very kind - one kind of thinks that they must be seeing a lot of this sort thing!

 

Thus, SD has now been set aside.

 

The questions now

 

Is there anything more that should be done to put this to bed?

 

Is it likely to resurface in another form from some other source?

 

Do we need to take further steps on the 1st Cred side of things, we have had no response to the CCA letter to date?

 

Is it worth making a complaint to the OFT or financial ombudsman?
