    • Seems OK, except that you must provide your details (as the driver). Include your name, address, DOB and driving licence number. This is to comply with s172 of the Road Traffic Act. Keep a copy and get a free Certificate of Posting from the Post Office.
    • Dear all, some information/advice required please.   I recently received a Further Steps Notice about a fine from 19/03/2018 which I knew nothing about. It was regarding a vehicle parked on the street without tax ( It was covered up and there because the only key to it had been stolen, I had been away from home  and I was having trouble getting a new key cut and coded to the vehicle )  I had not made a change of address to DVLA which would be why I knew nothing about the fine until receiving the final steps notice dated 29th April 2024 and giving me 10 working days to pay, although the notice did not arrive till May 9th 2024. I emailed the London Collection and Compliance Centre on May 13th 2024 asking for any information and they sent me a copy of the original fine. It is for  £390 back vehicle tax, £85 cost and £600 fine.  I now have received a Notice of Enforcement dated 7th June 2024 demanding payment ( total £1036)  or an arrangement by 6am 15th June ( tomorrow )  My question is is it tool late now to question the £600 fine part of the total amount to be paid ? That amount seems punitive.  Would making a statuary declaration regarding having no knowledge of the original court date apply ? And any other advice gratefully received. I am on Universal Credit and apparently they have already taken £177 via benefit reductions which I wasn’t aware of, but does make it seem strange that they were also unable to contact me.    Many thanks for any assistance

    • You're right of course, just jarring when an actual man child is knocking on my door so close to the end. Anyway, I'll keep this thread updated if ever any exciting does actually happen. Thanks again.

    • 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 guys, first post to this site so your help/support would be appreciated.

 

Well I am another victim of SPS after receiving a PCN when dropping off my little boy at a party and also using the garage shop where I had parked.

 

I received the PCN 2 minutes after parking my vehicle and £6 later trying to ring the company within their opening hours! with no joy. TS basically said that I should pay it as I was trespassing despite using the premises. I was advised to appeal after the owner checked the CCTV and could see that I moved my vehicle within 7 minutes. SPS have declined my appeal because "I left site" even if for 30 seconds, PCN still stands!!!! They have told me that they take people to Court all the time and I have 5 more days to pay the reduced amount.

 

So.....what now. I have read the threads and feel reassured. I also know people who have had the PCN's and not paid them but that was earlier in the year. I am worried that they will start taking people to court and although I would hope a Judge would find the charge unreasonable, I really dont want to have to go to Court. Its stressing me out...I have absolutely no money and I used the premises although they say I only did that because I got a ticket which is not true. Any advice would be appreciated.:?

They advised what!!!!!

 

You used the premises, so the obvious answer from TS should have been to tell Simplex to do one.

There is no appeal process (you'll always get a rejection) and they are not telling the truth regarding court - they are just trying to scare you into paying.

 

Ignore them from now on.

email HMCS and ask for the summary history of cases brought by Simplex. Something like this "How many claims have been filed in the county courts (including via Money Claim Online) by Simplex Parking, postcode Xnn nXX How many of these claims have been abandoned or successfully defended." when you get the response post the numbers up here.

Well guys thanks for all your responses!:)

 

I will look into the HMCS enquiry and let you all know how I get on.

I have not heard further from Simplex since their reply to my "appeal" but I have now got a solicitors letter on the way to them...I will let you know their next move. I am just waiting for contact from Jack Russell. Has anyone had any more developments with Simplex.
