    • 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.

"Egg have been so stupid. I have written to them several times and they keep sending letters back that bear no relation to any comments I have made."

 

They rely on computers and quite frankly should not be in charge of anybody's money. Fit to hold a consumer credit licence? They are not fit to run a garden party.

Just to update this thread.

 

Since writing back to 3 of DH's creditors asking them to provide proof of the debt, I have had no communication at all.

My biggest pain at the moment is the Inland Revenue.

I had to fill a Self Assessment Form in on behalf of my husband and I have had it returned twice.

I have spoken to the relevant Tax Office twice for advice but I must really be thick because I still had problems.

Last year we used an Accountant as there was Capital Gains to work out and the accounts from my husband's failed business but it cost an arm and a leg so I said I would do it myself because he left no money.

 

Amongst other things the form asked for how much he made in tips from his job as a cook. I know this is a required bit of information but how on earth am I expected to know that:confused: When I asked the office that question she asked if DH kept a note book somewhere with the details in.

I told her I had no idea as it was his own private affair and, given that his total income between April 07 and when he died in June 08 was about £10000 (including Pensions) I shouldn't think it was much as he was only working 10 hours a week .

 

I think this should be a lesson to everyone to keep your money under the mattress so all your (trusted) relatives know where it is and can do what they want with it :rolleyes:

Typical IR behaviour, they love these self assessment forms, as you say how on earth would you know how much he got in tips! They kept sending me penalty notices going up a £100 a time even though they said that my OH and I didn't have to self assessment forms in anymore, so I copied their letters and sent them to my MP. I was impressed at the speed of the reply and the fact they have passed my complaint on to the appropriate dept. They have "kindly" suspended the penalties for the present, this is the second time, last time they sent an amended penalty notice saying we owed nothing:-?

I have, today received an unbelievable letter from EGG.

I sent them a copy of all my late husband's credit card statements showing his liabilities. I also sent them a copy of his final building society statement.And the letter from Lloyds TSB saying the debt is written off.

I have now received a letter asking me to fill in a form providing them with all this information again.

I am shaking like a leaf.

They have still not provided proof of this debt as requested.

Is there someone important I can write to at EGG to tell them what they are doing to me?

I have provided all this information before...admittedly on a form of my own design and not their own.But as I knew I would have to send it to a few people I thought it would save me time filling in yet another form.

How many times do they need to know that he had no assets? No house. No stocks and shares. No Life insurance.No car.

 

Having calmed down a bit I have just realised the letter is in reply to a letter I sent in Sept and not in reply to one I then sent 2 weeks later with all my late husband's financial info included.

To say I am mad is not even near how I feel at the moment :mad:

I have copied the letter just received together with the proof of delivery and the Recorded Delivery receipt for the letter I sent with all DH's information and enclosed them in their envelope and I will be sending it back tomorrow.

 

I feel like writing to Egg's Chief Exec and asking if these people from "The Executor Support Team" can actually understand English.

Although, looking at the origin of the names signed at the bottom of the letters, possibly not.

And I don't care whether that is PC or not.

Oh thank you TheChancellor. I think I am so calm about things and then a stupid stupid CC company can blow my resolve out of the window.

In the scheme of things, they are way at the bottom of my priorities. I think it just brings it all back that my husband would not have spent his last years worrying about debt if these people had been more human.

I would write a brief letter stating

 

"I already have provided you with the information you demand & I will not be responding to you again"

 

"I would remind you that I have recently lost my husband & whilst all other creditors have been sympathetic you have not, as a result you are making a distressing situation much worse"

Letter from Egg today to say they have received the information about my husband's estate :rolleyes: and the contents have been noted.

The file is now in the hands of the Management Team....whoever they might be.

 

Told you it would reach them eventually NH.The "Management Team" are the ones on the next desk who can do joined-up writing.

Even if they can read it will be an improvement :rolleyes:

 

And the ability to do basic maths (when they realise that X number of creditors into £300 isn't worth the time and effort chasing it up) would deserve a round of applause :)

Oh bum. This is getting so annoying.

Have had a letter about DH's debt to L********ds. It is less than £400 and if they got a pro rata share of his "estate" they would get about 25p.

 

I sent copies of all DH's CC statements, final 3 months bank account statement and copy of all funeral receipts and now they say they are passing the account to Phillips-Cohen Associates who will "assist me with closing the account."

Mind, it also says they are enclosing a helpful brochure offering useful info about the probate process. No brochure enclosed and I have already told them that I did not need probate as estate was worth zilch.
