    • I have just read the smaller print on their signs. It says that you can pay at the end of your parking session. given that you have ten minutes grace period the 35 seconds could easily have been taken up with walking back to your car, switching on the engine and then driving out. Even in my younger days when I used to regularly exceed speed limits, I doubt I could have done that in 35 seconds even when I  had a TR5.

    • 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.

Hi all, just thought some of you would like to know that those African [problem] emails, the Nigerian 419 Fraud Emails, are on their way round again, this is a copy of the latest one, which I received this morning:

 

GOOD DAY. I am Mr. Nelson Makala a Manager/staff in one of the major leading bank in South Africa, seeking to present you to my bank as the next of kin/will beneficiary to my deceased client; the owner of this account died late 2003 with his family in an air crash. Before his death, he was a contractor here in the South Africa and has account balance with my bank to the tune of ($14.700, 000.00), we want you to present yourself as the business partner/next of kin of the deceased, so that the funds can be approval in your name. The mode of sharing after a successful transfer shall be 60% for us and 40% for you, so If you are interested give me your Direct telephone number and full names and i will contact you with more details Await your response Regards, Mr. Nelson Makala

 

Please do not reply to any of these kind of emails, you can report them to the various authorities, & then delete them, or just simply delete them. But on no account should you reply to them.

I get them all the time. Very easy to spot:

Crap grammar and spelling

same story - obscene money somewhere, usually unfortunate circumstances, need to shift it / access it, want bank details and you will get some of it.

 

Yeah right. There's a website of some guy who gets his own back on these people with some rather hilarious results (including one where the [EDIT] was led to believe he was in contact with a church and had to send in proof of his own conversion before details could be released. Such proof consisted of things like painting face or other rather comical acts.).

 

I'm thinking of setting up a "spam eater" email address - people worried about chain emails etc can send them onto it whereby they will be happily deleted.

I know they're a dead give-away (pardon the pun), I even got one from a woman pretending to be the widow of the Russian who was poisoned, a Mrs Litvanyenko. I've lost count of the many times I've won the lottery, if I'd have actually entered the lottery online, then I'd have probably fallen for them.

I remember that website myself about the chap, as far as I know the [problematic] fell for it themselves, as they didn't realise they'd had the tables turned on them, I think I'll try & find that website again.

It's a very good idea, an email address where they'll all just be automatically deleted.

i second that about the email! :D

 

Ive got an old email address that I rarely use but when I do log on to it (I use it for my myspace notifications for example, when i want to check it but cant get to my pc I use my wap to check my email to see if I have any new messages)

 

Im usually bombarded by hundreds of these messages. For example, I have had 6 stern emails from 'Halifax' online banking saying my account was about to be suspended and if i didnt provide my Halifax account details to them immediately all sort of things would happen. I also had the same email from 'RBS', 'Abbey' and 'Lloyds TSB.'

 

Oh dearie me. Those unfortunate [problematic] picked on the wrong person - a former employee of one of the banks they were purporting to be from. :D so their emails went straight to the banks they were pretending to be, and then into my email trash can.

 

Which is really where this **** belongs - in the trash can. I know most CAGgers are savvy enough to delete these straight away but what worries me is the people who arent - I simply laughed at these pathetic, badly spelled emails - (like the one I recieved from Abbey National referring to my Abbey National account when everyone knows Abbey have been Abbey for years) and also because I knew any accounts i have had with all these banks are long since defunct - closed or disputed in Lloyds TSB case - people who do send their bank details or worry someone has stolen their identity. Ive fallen prey to **** like this lot when I had my cards cloned so I think the best advice would be - if in doubt, delete. Or send it to the spam-eater *has a hilarious vision of a large metal bin munching on [problematic] emails.... 'mmmmm, FEED ME MORE!!!!*

 

Sorry.... stress is making me lose the plot :D

Thanks for the web address fed_up_uk, me thinks that I'll be starting to have some fun, I have a gmail account, so it won't take a minute to create another in a different name.

I've also been sent emails from National Westminster bank, demanding the same as you Mrs_Ryan, daft thing is, I've never banked with them, the real bank got the email to sort out though.

I think I remember something on the telly about these scams a couple of years ago, where the reporter went with the Nigerian police to one of these internet cafes, to try & stop them in their tracks, trouble is they just set up again somewhere else.

Right, all done! I'll be having a good read of it all, & then sit back & wait for someone to get in touch. Going by the time it took for them to send the last one, it shouldn't take any more than a month. lol

I get these all the time.

 

But how on earth would anybody fall for it?:confused: They are just so obvious.

 

Unfortunately some poor people do fall for these things, especially the ones supposed to be from the banks, & as for the ones that say you've won the lottery, well!!

The very first time I got one, was from someone who said he was a barrister from Loas, he had a hotmail addy, so I reported him to msn, but not until after I did a search & found his details, I then afterwards I did another search for him & he'd vanished, I'd like to think he'd been blocked (do they go by IP address's?).

If I went for all of these, I reckon the entire GDP of Nigeria is owed to me threefold at least.

 

And I've also had about 300 people sending me Tesco giftvoucher cards as well:rolleyes:
