    • 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.

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.

    • 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.

Appoligies for posting here but i cannot find anywhere to start a new thread.

 

I fell behind with my Mortgage arrears in 2006 and went to court in august 2006 (the arrears were £1200 but by time i got to court they were £750 as i paid some off)and was granted a suspended repossesion order on the grounds i pay my normal monthly mortgage payments plus £50 towards the arrears. I paid the arrears off in full 2mths later.

 

For over a year i have had no arrears and kept up with the payments. However since christmas we have got had some arrears. (most seems to be costs they are adding at £54 a mth monitering charge) The arrears are £1,189

 

I thought that since we paid off the arrears that were on the court order that the court order would no longer be in place.

However today i recieved a letter from solicitors saying

'as you have not adhered to the terms set out in the court order, our client instructed us to enforce it by applying for an eviction date to be set'

 

The offices of the solictors and my mortgage company are closed on a weekend so i am stressing since i cannot contact anyone. Have tried callin advice centres but they are all constantly busy.

I have 2 small children and nowhere else to go. i dont qualify for housing.

I have full time wages and can afford the repayments.

i can afford to pay the arrears but would ideally need 2 mths.

How long will i get? How quick will they want me out?

From what i have read it seems i can get a form and go to court and ask for time.

I really didnt know this suspended possession order would count for all future arrears or i would never have let it get this bad.

Any advice would be great thank you

Hi there, welcome to CAG. Firstly, please don't panic, we can help you with this, you will not be evicted from your home! You will need to fill in a form N244 and take it to the court once you get an eviction date, this form is to ask for a hearing to stop possession (you can download it from the courts website - I'll give more details later) and I can help you with this.

 

To put this into perspective, I have been involved in helping people in much worse situations that you, even on the day of proposed eviction, and they have kept their homes.

 

As you have not received a date for eviction yet, you should write a letter to the solicitors detailing your offer of payment towards the arrears and enclosing an income and expenditure statement (if you haven't done one before I can point you in the right direction). You will need to send this letter on monday by guaranteed next day delivery. Again I can help you with this if you need me to.

 

If they do take action for possession, this letter will prove you have tried to come to an arrangement. In the meantime, make any payment you can towards the arrears (by phone if possible).

 

Please try not to stress too much, I am sure it will be OK.

 

In the meantime I will move your post to the mortgages and secured loans section of the debt forum and titled your thread Suspended Possession Action

 

Kind Regards

Once this second lot of arrrears are clear you need to get a Notice of Discontinuance which will close the case down and the mortgage company will have to start from the beginning again instead of at step three. Their legal lot will fight this but there shouldn't be too many problems getting it stopped once you have paid up.

thank you. i will do the forms now and the letter. I have sent them letters before but they never acknowledge them so i will make sure i send special delivery.

Do you know if they suspended possession order stands when i totally honored that order? I have heard that once the arrears are cleared on that order that it can be removed. Does that not count now that i have other arrears. Maybe i am being Stupid but i thought they would have to apply for an order again for these arrears since i completed the other order by paying off all the arrears..and i did so within 2 months.

 

My mortgage is due on the 1st of the month (£394)

On Friday i can afford to pay £700 towards the Mortgage and then on the 5th May i can pay an extra £300. so after the 5th May the arrears would only be £500. I would be able to pay that on the 26th May.

 

The last time i went to court i tried calling and offering them £100, £80 a month towards the arrears but they refused, yet when i sat in the court waiting room they came over and offered me £50 a mth so i am just afraid they will not be reasonable and listen to my offers and just want repossession. I owe £42000 mortgage to them and my property is worth at least 100,000 so there is alot of equity in the house. We were going to remortgage in July (starting it in May) to get away from this company anyway. But we have an early settlement fee to pay of £3000 if we do it before 19th July

Thank you, i guess i should have done this last year when i paid the arrears but i didn't know this could be done.

Hi there, send the letter first by next day delivery - check on the Royal Mail website a few days later to see that it has been signed for, then print off the receipt and keep with your copy of the letter. You will need to produce this if it goes to court, to show that you have tried to come to an arrangement.

 

No point in filling in N244 until (if) you get an eviction date. Also, make the payments you have stated in your post, and we'll take it from there. If you still have any paperwork for the previous possession court action, ring the court concerned and quote the Claim number, ask them if the suspended possession order is still current.

 

Given, what you can pay towards the arrears over the next few weeks, there is no way the lender will get possession.

 

Stay positive, any questions just ask.

 

Kind Regards

Have called the solicitors who is dealing on behalf of Mortgages Plc this morning. Basically they can't tell me anything as they have no details except they are being told to enforce the order. Called the Court and they said they cannot check if the order is still valid, i would have to ask the claimant.

Going to call Mortgages Plc when they open at 9 and see what they say...but i am not hopeful:(

Have called them. They were not very helpful at first. Saying the order lasts for 6 years so is still valid and that they are just going for eviction.

I asked if they would accept regular payment offers to clear the arrears and she said no, they want full payment before end of April. I said that if that was the case i would have to go to court for an N244 form when i received the eviction date. I said i would pay £600 on friday and that i hoped that would show the court i could was trying to pay off the arrears. She then started listening. In the end she said if i called Friday and paid £600 then that would take the arrears below half and they could then stop the eviction being enforced and set up a payment plan. She also suggested i change the mortgage to interest only for a while to allow me to be able to pay more to the arrears.

I am going to call Friday and make that payment to them over the phone and set up a payment plan. I will make sure i get them to send me it in writing also once it is agreed.

I am going to send off the letter today which outlines what i agreed in the call.

Thank you for your help, i will let you know how i get on Friday.

OK, when you send the letter make sure it is by recorded delivery, keep a copy of the letter for yourself and then check on the royal mail website a few days later to make sure they have signed for it. Print off the receipt and keep with your letter in case you need to prove it. Also, make sure you have the correct address, department and name of the person you spoke to in order for the letter to get to the right place. Some mortgages companies have different addressed for their legal dept etc.

 

I'm glad to hear they have come to an arrangement with you, if they stick to their end of the bargain it should take the pressure off you, but will be better when you have it confirmed in writing from them:)

 

Let us know how you get on.

 

Kind Regards

received the eviction date today of 9th May 08.

Started to worry me again. in case they back down out of the agreement on Friday but i called them up again and they said they have a note on their system that says they will put a hold on eviction if i pay 600 on Friday and sort out a payment plan.

Just worried i guess in case i have to go to court. what if they decided to evict me anyway. i know the arrears would only be 500 by then but its still stressing me

OK, don't panic, there is no way you are going to lose your home for £500. Make the payment on Friday and then ask them to confirm in writing BY RETURN that you have a payment plan in place and that the eviction has been cancelled.

 

However - Don't take their word for it unless you see it in writing. Ring the court middle of next week to check they have cancelled the warrant for possession. If they haven't then we will need to enter a N244 application to the court to ask for a hearing to stop eviction. Don't worry we can help you fill that in. Hopefully it won't come to that.

 

Keep posting, we will give you as much support as we can.

 

Kind Regards

Glad to hear you are less stressed about this, I can assure you it will be OK. If the hearing goes ahead you will have the pleasure of seeing the judge give Mortgages Plc a good kick up the backside for wasting the court's time :)

Called up Mortgages Plc this morning and everything went fine. Paid the £600 and was even prepared to pay the full balance if i could not get some definate answers from them just to put my mind at rest.

They agreed on my monthly payment plus £80 (which is what i offered before and they refused). My monthly payment is due on May 1st (which i can pay & had budgeted for) but he said that they will change it till 26th may for the day i get paid so i dont have to make 2 payments this wage. That was really helpful. They also offered to out me on interest only for a while but i refused as i can make the payments fully now my curcumstances have changed.

They are sending me everything out in writing and they are contacting the solicitors today and they will contact the baliffs. I told them i will contact the solicitors and baliffs on Monday myself just to check everything has been stopped.

All in all they have been really good and helpful today. Just wish they could have been like that the many times i called before.

Thank you for your help. this site really helped me and made a difference. I think if i had not said some of the things i learned from here they would have thought they could win in court.:)

Hi there, when is your eviction date? - I'm just thinking you could enter a N244 to suspend it and ask for a bit more time.
