    • I'm not an expert on Qatari Law but it seems so. That's 15 years for them to bring legal action against you in Qatar. Best option is just to ignore everything unless you get one of the 3 letters above.
    • Thanks for this. Am I right in assuming that there is a 15 year limit on action in Qatar?

    • Dave if I run you by a different analogy.  Imagine you are doing 45 mph down Park Lane and a police car has clocked you doing that. When you get the Notice of Intended Prosecution they claim you were speeding in Piccadilly. So although you were speeding you weren't speeding in Piccadilly. Result -case would be thrown out. Same thing here. The contract refers to an area in Ruislip with a postcode  of HA4 OFY. On every  pcn  they have put the car in HA4 OEY. I admit that they have the correct postcode on the claimform but the car cannot be in two places at once. By pursuing Rocky on the wrong postcode means they had no reasonable cause to ask the DVLA for his details.Met does not have a contract to issue PCNs in that postcode. It is not desperation though it would be embarrassing for Met in Court and the case should be thrown out. The NTD can say whatever it wants but the NTK fails to specify the parking period and fails to ask the driver to pay S9[2][b] so that PCN does not comply with the Act so only the driver liable. And times on the photographs on the PCN are just that. Times on a photograph not on the PCN as stated in the Act.   Your strongest point is the PCN [the NTK ] is not compliant and as you were not the driver you are not liable so should go first.  Not only is it not compliant but the postcode on the NTK is different from the one on the Claim form. If the one on the NTK was wrong then Met have breached Rocky's GDPR since they had no reasonable cause to contact the DVLA as they did not have a contract  that covered that postcode and so misled the DVLA. That should be sufficient to win.  With regards to their WS sometimes the rogues leave it till the last moment to send to prevent Defendants being able to respond to what has been said. So don't send your WS until the last day. If theirs hasn't arrived by then add to your WS that their WS not received and ask that it be ignored.If it does arrive in time, then you can still amend your WS to answer any of their spurious points. As a lay person you will be granted a days latitude at least. PS do not foret to include S9[2][b] in your WS

    • 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.

Or is it o.k. for a member to post ficticious scenarios in an attempt to destroy the reputations of other posters? Especially when that member seems to despise the existence of CAG. If we all start to tell untruths on here, there will be no point in having this forum.

 

Surely is posting fictitious statements and blatant lying, not an abuse of this forum?

 

Surely the mods should take this very seriously?

Post 166 - Is that the same Andy Foster who last January made the unsupportable and unedified comment that our scheme had made 'dubious' claims?

 

Well we are still here Andy - over 1 year old and still functioning and with a 100% success record.

 

That's because we are the honest party fighting the dishonest ones.

 

Given that you see yourself as a leading light in the protection of motorists, I trust that this particular penny will drop one day soon and that you may be able to take a more appreciative and better balanced view in the future.

This bunch of cretins need to be crushed

 

In the meantime do you know that approx. 1/3 of all security guards, bouncers AND WHEEL CLAMPERS are operating without a licence

 

Anyone think that might be useful in some way;)

I'm away for a few weeks and this is what happens?!? Having read the latest posts, I suppose it is a disapointment to Mr Thomas, but due to the county courts and the balance of probabilities on a sliding scale, its not the same as a criminal court, so it can go either way even if a doubt is in question.

 

As for Mr Thomas, having to cough up the money has any one thought of offering assitance to him? couple of quid each maybe?

 

Well just goes to show though, PPC's will do anything to earn a bob or two, but by the time the monies are spilt with the land owner, if of course Perky decides to share in his "winnings" and the amount of time and effort put into this, im sure he'll have enough change left over for another bacon butty :)

Thanks

We've offered it for the appeal. They haven't been back on though, so I suspect they're busy sorting out an appeal rather than get into a slanging match with Perky the Clown.

'angry driver',

 

You stated in your original post that, to quote: "I will answer openly any questions you may have.", yet to date you have ignored many key questions asked of you:

 

Q1) 'Simon7685' - "I was wondering how you would know someone had read their PM's, I thought that is what they were private?"

 

Q2) 'Bookworm' - "How much profit is the PPC going to actually make from this?" - "what is the profit in it? In pounds? Doesn't have to be precise, a ball park will do."?

 

Q3) 'AI27' - "How much do you charge for a permit on said bit of land? Or are they freely given out by the church?"

 

Q4) 'lamma' - "As asked by someone else - but the question was soundly ignored. How on earth can you know that he read PMs ?"

 

Then your quote (post #160) states: "The reason for requesting the thread to be locked is nothing constructive can be added by any other party at this stage, with the exception of the other side." – this is not true, for I would very much like to know your answers to these important questions you have not yet answered.

 

 

Then in your post #154, you state, quote:

"Courts are not the place to bring actions just to prove a point, thats not a game we want to start playing".

 

and yet you stated in post #99, to quote:

"This case was NOT about the money, it was to show that parking charges (IF issued correctly with the correct signage etc..) are perfectly valid and legal DESPITE the 'park anywhere, get lots of tickets and screw them brigade' saying they are unenforceable invoices with the correct defence."

 

and again in your post #139, to quote:

"As for the money, this wasnt ever about the money it was to prove a fact that despite the best CAG/PePiPoo brains behind the defence tickets ARE enforceable and the courts do enforce them."

 

and again in your post #145, to quote:

"This victory is significant as its the one EVERYONE on here and PePiPoo said could never be done (ie, a good defence crafted by our experts will always see them off as all these tickets are unenforceable)."

 

and again in your post #154, to quote:

"We have already won a CAG/PePiPoo defence ... how many will it take before we prove it 2,3,4,50,100 ... We took on the Thomas case after it was clear that CAG/PePiPoo were involved .. we could have backed down and called the action off ... we didnt ... We saw it through to the very end and won."

 

This to me is all evidence to suggest that you are indeed out to simply prove a point and that you are playing!!

 

 

You also stated (post #145):

"What has been proved, and it cant be denied as it happend - The CAG/PePiPoo defence FAILED on all counts - it was stated in many many threads this could not happen and it did." - I would like to see the transcript of the 'defence' to know if this statement is true and correct before I simply take your word for it!

 

Then you quote (post #145):

"No matter what spin you want to put on it, the defendant is £250 out of pocket .. .he was off work for 1.5days (he obviously cant afford to be off work, to us it was a jolly - the money not important)" - This apparent gloating, in my view, simply does nothing more than enforce 'Joe publics' current general negative opinion of PPC's and further damages your own reputation.

 

Furthermore, from your gloating and confirmation that "Courts are not the place to bring actions just to prove a point", I'm sure, that in hindsight, the Judge may well now be wondering if he made a sound judgement or not! - and thus possibly damaging any defence you may produce against an appeal if one is indeed lodged!

 

 

Then there is your quote (post #128'): "The PPC wants this to goto appeal but so far nothing has been heard or seen from the defendant" - (another point to prove?) - I don't know if you’re a religious person, but with reference to the church site, it could be said that God does move in mysterious ways! - in other words your apparent assumption of success to an appeals process is by no means guaranteed.

 

 

I am very disappointed to see that angry_driver has not yet responded to my post.

 

There are obviously a number of 'key points' raised here that I, and I'm sure many others, would very much like to hear his response to.

I'm disappointed to see he said the best CAG/PePiPoo brains were behind this - I didn't get involved at all :D

All help is merely my opinion only - please seek legal advice if you need to as I am only qualified in SEN law.

I agree letshelp ....

 

In the past Legaladviser/Geronimoman have only been TOO quick to post their false and misleading victory (which we not know AS A FACT).

 

Their silence on this site and the PePiPoo one is something that is certainly noteworthy.

 

 

Still no response from angry_driver to my post(s)/questions, I see!

 

Talk about the 'pot calling the kettle black' - lol

Oh dear perky what will you do now:D

 

A woman who ran a car clamping firm which took thousands of pounds from drivers has been jailed for four years.

 

Rebecca Meakin, of Millers Vale, Heath Hayes, Staffordshire, was convicted of blackmail by charging motorists up to £300 to retrieve their vehicles.

 

Her company, Rowencroft Immobilisers, worked at car parks in Cannock and Worcester, Stafford Crown Court heard.

 

Judge Simon Tonking said regulation of the UK clamping industry was "far from rigorous".

 

He said: "The boundaries between what is lawful and unlawful are unclear.

 

"It is a most unsatisfactory state of affairs."

 

Her co-defendant Cameron Khan was jailed for four-and-a-half years for a number of charges, including conspiracy to blackmail.

 

YOU (perky) could be next;)

 

It's worth noting that the last time this happened was in Scotland & it brought about the virtual demise of the cowboy clamping industry North of the border

Clamping and removal was never done by JBW they are baliffs not parking contractors.

As you should know the majority of their work for Westminster was collecting unpaid parking fines but no more sad innit

 

Never mind they can always get a job enforcing dustbin regs

 

 

You seem to be confusing two completely seperate matters on street removals and clamping and parking debt enforcement. JBW has never carried out on street enforcement for Westminster or used their car pound in Park Lane.

However they are no longer one of Westminsters parking debt enforcers due to the Council moving away from balliffs and instead they use First Revenue Assurance to chase the debt prior to warrant stage which saves them half a million a year in TEC costs. JBW have recently been taken on by several other authorities to enforce both Council tax and traffic debts so are not going broke just yet!!

GM you seem to know a lot about JBW's business??

 

Anyway I doubt Westminster will be the last authority in the current climate to move away from the barbaric use of bailiff's

 

i'm sorry but what has any of this got to do with the oldham case?

I know a lot about many things lol! The move is purely financial the TEC charges to issue a warrant and the balliffs 'fees' do not get paid to the Council. Its therefore more cost effective to use a collection agency who trace and badger the debtor to pay prior to warrant stage by writing and tracing phone numbers for debtors and convincing them it will be cheaper to pay up prior to a warrant being issued. The saving in warrant fees alone is £400,000 per annum.
