    • Laura, I was surprised that the Director said that you hadn't appealed twice. I thought that the letter you posted on 24th June was the second appeal and that was to the IAS. And they did say that there was no further appeal possible. Could you please explain how many times you appealed. I am going to read your WS now.
    • In answer to your questions yes even though it wasn't called that, it was the NTK. Had it been a windscreen ticket you would not have received the NTK until 28 days had elapsed. In earlier times if the warden was present then a windscreen ticket would have been issued. It nows seems that the DVLA and the Courts don't see a problem  with not issuing a ticket when a warden is on site. A period of parking must mean that ther e has to be a start time and a finish time in order for it to be considered a period. A single time does not constitute a period. I am not sure what you mean by saying it could be taken either way.  All they have mentioned is  the incident time which is insufficient. There are times on the photos about one minute apart which do not qualify as the parking period because they are not on the PCN itself. The reason I asked if the were any more photos is that you should be allowed 5 minutes Consideration period for you to read the signs and decide whether you want to accept them and you do that by staying longer than 5 minutes. if  more  do not have photos of your staying there for more than 5 minutes they are stuffed. You cannot say that you left within the 5 minute period if you didn't , but you can ask them, should it get to Court , to provide strict proof that you stayed longer than the statutory time. If they can't do that, case over.
    • I recently bought some trainers from Sports Direct and was unhappy with them and their extortionate delivery and return postage charges. I tweeted about being unhappy, and received a reply from someone claiming to be from Sports Direct asking me to send my order number and email address by pm, so a claim could be raised. Which I (stupidly) did. The account used Sports Direct's name and branding, and a blue tick.  The following day I received a call from "Sports Direct Customer Service", and with a Kenyan number. They asked for details of the issue, and then sent me an email with a request to install an app called Remitly. They provided me with a password to access the app then I saw that it had been setup for me to transfer £100, and I was asked to enter my credit card number so they could "refund" me. I told them I was uncomfortable with this (to say the least), and was just told to ring them back when I did feel comfortable doing it. Ain't never gonna happen.  I just checked my X account, and the account that sent the message asking for my details is gone. I feel like a complete idiot falling for what was a clear scam. But at least I realised before any real damage was done. if you make a complaint about a company on social media, and you get a reply from someone claiming to be from that company and asking for personal details, tread very carefully.   
    • The good news is that their PCN does not comply with the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012  Schedule 4.. First under Section 9 (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; (b)inform the keeper that the driver is required to pay parking charges in respect of the specified period of parking and that the parking charges have not been paid in full; The PCN does not specify the parking period. AS you rightly say the ANPR times do not include driving to the parking space and then from there back to the exit. And once you include getting children in and out of cars especially if seat belts are involved the time spent parked can be a fair bit less than the ANPR times but still probably nowhere near the time you spent. But that doesn't matter -it's the fact that they failed to comply. Also they failed to ask the keeper to pay the charge.  Their failure means that they cannot now transfer the charge from the diver to the keeper . Only the driver is now liable. As long as UKPA do not know who was driving it will be difficult for them to win in Court as the Courts do not accept that the driver and the keeper are the same person. Particularly as anyone can drive any car if they have the correct insurance. It might be able to get more reasons to contest the PCN if you could get some photos of the signs. both at the entrance and inside the car park. the photos need to be legible and if there are signs that say different things from others that would also be a help.

    • 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.

If ME respond dead on 40 days that will take it well over repo date :o

 

 

I was just wondering if info can be requested under the Civil Procedures Rule as it is a court case?

 

With regards to contacting local councillors / MPs, it may be a good time to do that with elections coming up.

 

Paul put this link on my thread. My MP responded quite quickly:

 

WriteToThem - Email or fax your Councillor, MP, MEP, MSP or Welsh, NI, London Assembly Member for free

 

All my best wishes Tilly ;)

I'm midway through the tunnel, but getting closer to the light.

 

 

 

Please be aware that i am not an expert in anything!

I may offer an opinion, but the final decision is yours.

Tilly,

 

We need grounds here to dispute any judgement which has been made. This could be an argument that the original terms between yourself and ME were unfair and not explained at the point of taking on the mortgage. Any dispute would put proceedings on hold, and would give you time to sell or resolve your position. Anything you can do to delay the current proceedings will give you time to get the best resolution.

 

Fight and disagree with everything.

 

Report ME to the FSA and the Counsel of Mortgage Lenders immediately for their business practices.

 

Then inform the Court that you have found discrepancies within the proceedings which need to be addressed via appeal.

 

Delay, delay, delay until your position improves.

Okay been making phonecalls to housing associations, some have said you need to be

nominated by local council, but others are sending application forms, and also got

an appointment with local housing association tomorrow.

Sorry to hear of your problems Tilly, but the court may well be on 'your side' as your husband's illness has to be taken into account. Once you get the forms to fill in I can help too - I've done a few for myself (the only hope I had was to get somebody in but getting somebody to 'pay their way' was hopeless).

 

As your house is already on the market the judge may very well make a stay of eviction to allow a sale to go through, there is a 'control of sale' bit in the County Courts act that you could use - I think Ell-en knows that bit better than me.

 

Wishing you all the luck on this - it's not an easy world to be in at the moment.

Bill,

 

I agree with SG. I know it's hard to think when you are smack bang in the middle of something, but if we are going to hedge our bets here, 90% of your effort should go towards staying in the property you're in. Dispute everything and seek all possible local help.

 

10% of your energy should go towards a Plan B.

 

Whenever any viewers come to the house make it unattractive. Eat lots of garlic and onions, and keep raw fish in the larder!

Billy,

 

Just for info - Shelter: Repossession

 

Shelter: Allowed to stay

 

If that doesn't help, it might be worth contacting the National Debt Line - National Debtline, for FREE CONFIDENTIAL and INDEPENDENT ADVICE call 0808 808 4000

 

Also: -

 

In a UK repossession, the mortgage company “take back” the house, sell it, use the proceeds to pay off the amounts owed to them, and then send the balance to the borrower. The old duty to take “reasonable care to ensure…. the best price that can reasonably be obtained” has been slightly modified in the Building Societies Act 1997 to “take reasonable precautions to obtain the true market value of the motgaged property. It is normal, though not needed, for the mortgage company to get a Court Order to get a repossesion. The mortgage company does not have to sell the property via an auction - indeed, the Courts have recognised that this may well not be the best way to obtain the true market value.

 

In a foreclosure, by comparison, the mortgage company “take back” the house, sell it, and keep the entire proceeds. This is only possible as the result of a Court Order, and it’s nigh on unheard of for courts to grant this these days - normally they only ever grant repossession orders.

May need a bit of confirmation here, but if you bring an action against them for the recovery of disputed charges, would that not be a good enough reason for a stay? In the interim, obtain the best price possible and sue for interest, as the reason the matter cannot be resolved is directly related to the banks reluctance to admit charges made are unfair (not covered by the OFT case).

If you need any help with the wording Ell-en is one of the best to contact, I can do some but not all of the bits.

 

Getting rehoused seems to be a lottery - I can get on my soap box and cite first hand cases of 'abuse' of the housing system but they won't change the system nor the way mortgage companies 'take take take' attitude.

 

One thing that is worth mentioning is that you have contacted all the housing associations (give a list of them and their response) in spreadsheet fashion and that can help show that you have tried (and failed so far) to find suitable alternative accommodation....

Tills, once you get a hearing date we can do an updated one page statement the day before. We can include the situation regarding alternative housing etc. as you'll know more what the options are by then.
