    • So not entirely down to the ticket office, then. In fact you have been quite fortunate. The "Section 172" response provides the evidence the police need to prove that you were driving if they wish to prosecute you in court. In England and Wales there is a legal precedent which has determined that an unsigned s172 response does not meet the requirements of that part of the RTA. In effect, an unsigned response is equivalent to no response at all. (This precedent is not recognised in Scotland and there is a strategy to "go unsigned" to avoid conviction). When they receive an unsigned response the police are perfectly entitled to prosecute you for "Failing to provide drivers details" and they more often than not do. This offence carries six points, a hefty fine and insurance grief for up to five years. So you got lucky. The situation now is that the deadline for accepting a course is passed. Four months is the absolute maximum, with some forces cutting it back to as little as three months from the date of the offence. The police will not extend this because if you fail to complete the course before six months has elapsed, they can no longer prosecute you. They can only begin proceedings up to the corresponding date in June (i.e. if the offence was December 10th, they have until June 10th to begin proceedings). You will gain nothing by taking this to court. On the contrary you have a lot to lose. Courses are offered entirely at the discretion of the police, you have no right to one and the court has no powers to order one. Presumably you have been offered a fixed penalty of £100 and 3 points. If you are sentenced in court it will cost you at least three times that, possibly more (depending on your speed and your income). My advice: accept the fixed penalty and do it soon as there is a deadline for that as well and if you allow it to pass your matter will be taken to court anyway. Do not forget to submit your driving licence details as instructed when accepting the offer. If you fail to do so the police will have no time left to remind you (and they don't usually send reminders for this anyway) and, again, your case will end up in court.

    • Hi all, I have an update: I have received the documents from the SAR, including photos. It appears that I was parked in a bay with a sign that requires a permit, however the pole that it is on does appear to be behind the barrier - see photo. Also, they documented that they DID NOT apply the PCN to my car because of safety concerns and I DID NOT receive the initial £60 PCN by post- see attached.CamScanner 05-10-2024 15.06.pdf appreciate nay feedback/ advice, current PCN fee stands at £100.

    • 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.

OK, I did say I would let everyone know how things went with the set aside hearing to-day, pointless lying, it was b.awful. Wasen't allowed to speak as Mackenzie friend for daughter and had an absolute xxxxx of a judge! Daughter was like a rabbit caught in headlights! 1st Crud did not turn up but we were told that was our fault as they hadn't had a copy of the set aside application and at one point we were told it hadn't even been sworn, when I argued that it had been signed in front of a legal clerk, she told me to shut up, that she wasen't talking to me. So advice has to be make sure you ask whether the court is going to send a copy of the set aside affadavit to the other side - cost if photocopied there £5. I had done a fuller version which wasen't signed which daughter had to sign there and then and we have to send a copy to the other side before 7 days is up and she has adjourned and will probably have another hearing in about 3 weeks but she says it doesen't look good as several of the arguements I used i.e. invalidity of default notice, notice of assignement are contentious issues and could involve court costs if she looses:cry: She said that I could direct daughter towards notes etc but when daughter turned to look at me, she bellowed "Don't look at your mother" Honestly, I am so disheartened. Daughter said they hadn't provided a true copy of the agreement but she was trying to trip her up by saying surely there was something attached to the card when you had it, didn't that have any terms and conditions on it, daughter said no it didn't. (it was 10 years ago). She said what was invalid about the default notice it was the right address wasen't it. Of course I wanted to say that they had issued this after the request for the CCA and the assignment was unlawful due to continuing dispute but had of course been silenced. She advised daughter to get legal advice, well if she could afford that she wouldn't find herself in the position she's in would she! Sorry to have such a negative post but just make sure you have watertight arguements.:Cry:

Ok I see I have thoroughly depressed everyone and didn't get any replies!!

Never mind, we are feeling a little more upbeat to-day and I am doing as ordered by Judge and sending longer version of affadavit to 1st Crud and Barclaycard as unbelieveably prior to the hearing 1st Crud returned the CCA fee and said that Barclaycard had repurchased the alleged debt. I can't believe that the court didn't send the sworn affadavit to them as the legal clerk told us that she would make sure the other side got it and surely the court would have informed them of the date of the hearing?!!!

Anyway will have to polish up all the legal arguements and write it down like a script for daughter, one thing I have found out is the default notice was invalid because it did not have the OC's name and address i.e. it was issued by Mercers.

I cannot believe that the judge took no notice of the fact only an application form was supplied. Never mind, onward and upward.:smile:

Hi, yes, I had written to the court beforehand to ask if I could attend as Mckenzie friend/lay representative - sorry if that isen't the correct term, cannot find my letter just at the mo, and asked again before court.

That is what confuses me, I thought you were allowed to speak as a representative, did you do anything incorrectly ? Sorry, for all the questions however I may be in a similar situation myself speaking behalf of OH and found this quite worrying as OH wouldn't have a clue

Can you not get a Power of Attorney or some equivalent that allows you to appear at court on her behalf?

 

not up on the court bit so dont know if thats possible but thought i would ask as its a problem that might crop up in the near future too.

 

By the way are you the same Miss Muppets that posts on MSE?

That sounds like a pretty horrid time you had Miss Muppet. It was my understanding that a Mackenzie friend could speak. You say you wrote asking the court, did you get a reply.

 

 

Miss Muppet, I have tried to pm a link regarding Mackenzie friends. But it would appear you have exceeded your limit. You will need to have a clear out:D

Ta everyone, sorry been at work to-day so only just logging on, not sure whether I am the same as the one on MSE, ages since I went on there, will have to have a look and there I was thinking I was unique!!

Interesting point about the Power of Attorney, will have to look at that, its the same with daughter as your OH, She's very shy and nervous as well.

Think we were very unlucky with Judge, I reckon her other uniform is bondage:lol: We both feel as if we've done 10 rounds with Mike Tyson and have 3 day headaches - arrrgh!

Yes, I did write and ask for permission and no I didn't get a reply, hardly surprising when they were telling us that she hadn't made a special journey to court to swear the affadavit. Don't think I was impolite, I asked her again as we entered if it was alright for me to attend and politely (I hope) handed her our case notes.

Muppet is the right name for me tho' because there was I telling poor Shawn to take note of 42 Man's advice on all the points of law and I didn't have enough on it myself and because I was expecting to speak myself, didn't do a proper script for poor daughter. When were discussing whether she had sworn the affadavit, my daughter said my face went bright red because the Judge bellowed "I wasen't talking to you". It really wasen't the best way to get anything out of anyone.

I'll clear out my message box and thanks for that.

Hi everyone, just wanted to share our good news with you. 2nd set aside hearing was this afternoon, the Judge couldn't have been more helpful, I think it helped that I had sent another statement into court, I basically threw everything at the problem but the kitchen sink!! I had put in a long explanation as to why the default was invalid and he brought this up. We'd also said that we knew that the monies were owed but believed the agreement was unenforceable and he agreed with us on this, saying there was a triable issue and we did have a defence. Then he awarded costs of £257.

 

Thank you to everyone who helped, whose work I filched particularly 42 man and pt, I'm a bit knackered at the moment as I am working on my defence against mbna! One thing the Judge did mention that I did laugh about afterwards was that 18 hours was a long time to be working on the case - I said I was not very good at legal matters - I thought if only you knew- have been up to 1.30 every night over the bank hols working on my defence.

 

Cheers m'dears, a little dosh will be coming your way when I can afford it.

Ta everyone and thanks for moving the post. Unfortunately 1st Crud haven't paid up yet and we have had to inform the court that they have not complied with the court order.

Y'know I bet the courts are getting pretty fed up with these DCA's behaviour, raising these SD's and then not turning up and not paying up.

That reminds me of my next job, Consumer Direct said I have to keep OFT informed with regard to review of 1st Crud's credit license.

 

As we say on here, onward and upward:)

MM, rather than putting this thread back in the DCA forum...can you start a new thread with this issue ? In the DCA forum with a heading like 1st Credit Haven't Paid Their Court Costs !!!! (you'll get a good response)....there was one guy who had the same problem, and I believe he did send the bailiffs in....i'll try and find it....
