    • Thank you for posting their WS. If we start with the actual WS made by the director one would have doubts that they had even read PoFA let alone understood it. Point 10  we only have the word of the director that the contract has been extended. I should have had the corroboration of the Client. Point 12 The Judge HHJ Simkiss was not the usual Judge on motoring cases and his decisions on the necessity of contracts did not align with PoFA. In Schedule 4 [1[ it is quite clearly spelt out- “relevant contract” means a contract (including a contract arising only when the vehicle was parked on the relevant land) between the driver and a person who is—(a)the owner or occupier of the land; or (b authorised, under or  by virtue of arrangements made by the owner or occupier of the land, to enter into a contract with the driver requiring the payment of parking charges in respect of the parking of the vehicle on the land; And the laughable piece of paper from the land owners cannot be described as a contract. I respectfully ask that the case be dismissed as there is no contract. WE do not even know what the parking regulations are which is really basic. It is respectfully asked that without a valid contract the case cannot continue. One would imagine that were there a valid contract it would have been produced.  So the contract that Bank has with the motorist must come from the landowner. Bank on their own cannot impose their own contract. How could a director of a parking company sign a Statement of Truth which included Point 11. Point 14. There is no offer of a contract at the entrance to the car park. Doubtful if it is even an offer to treat. The entrance sign sign does not comply with the IPC Code of Conduct nor is there any indication that ANPR cameras are in force. A major fault and breach of GDPR. Despite the lack of being offered a contract at the entrance [and how anyone could see what was offered by way of a contract in the car park is impossible owing to none of the signs in the WS being at all legible] payment was made for the car to park. A young person in the car made the payment. But before they did that, they helped an elderly lady to make her payment as she was having difficulty. After arranging payment for the lady the young lad made his payment right behind. Unfortunately he entered the old lady's number again rather than paying .for the car he was in. This can be confirmed by looking at the Allow List print out on page 25. The defendant's car arrived at 12.49 and at 12.51 and 12.52  there are two payments for the same vrm. This was also remarked on by the IPC adjudicator when the PCN was appealed.  So it is quite disgraceful that Bank have continued to pursue the Defendant knowing that it was a question of  entering the wrong vrm.  Point 21 The Defendant is not obliged to name the driver, they are only invited to do so under S9[2][e]. Also it is unreasonable to assume that the keeper is the driver. The Courts do not do that for good reason. The keeper in this case does not have a driving licence. Point 22. The Defendant DID make a further appeal which though it was also turned down their reply was very telling and should have led to the charge being dropped were the company not greedy and willing to pursue the Defendant regardless of the evidence they had in their own hands. Point 23 [111] it's a bit rich asking the Defendant to act justly and at proportionate cost while acting completely unjustly themselves and then adding an unlawful 70% on to the invoice. This  is despite PoFA S4[5] (5)The maximum sum which may be recovered from the keeper by virtue of the right conferred by this paragraph is the amount specified in the notice to keeper under paragraph 9[2][d].  Point 23 [1v] the Director can deny all he wants but the PCN does not comply with PoFA. S9 [2][a] states  (2)The notice must— (a)specify the vehicle, the relevant land on which it was parked and the period of parking to which the notice relates; The PCN only quotes the ANPR arrival and departure times which obviously includes a fair amount of driving between the two cameras. Plus the driver and passengers are a mixture of disabled and aged persons who require more time than just a young fit single driver to exit the car and later re enter. So the ANPR times cannot be the same as the required parking period as stipulated in the ACT. Moreover in S9[2][f]  (ii)the creditor does not know both the name of the driver and a current address for service for the driver, the creditor will (if all the applicable conditions under this Schedule are met) have the right to recover from the keeper so much of that amount as remains unpaid; You will note that in the PCN the words in parentheses are not included but at the start of Section 9 the word "must" is included. As there are two faults in the PCN it follows that Bank cannot pursue the keeper . And as the driver does not have a driving licence their case must fail on that alone. And that is not even taking into consideration that the payment was made. Point 23 [v] your company is wrong a payment was made. very difficult to prove a cash payment two weeks later when the PCN arrives. However the evidence was in your print out for anyone to see had they actually done due diligence prior to writing to the DVLA. Indeed as the Defendant had paid there was no reasonable cause to have applied for the keeper details. Point 24 the Defendant did not breach the contract. The PCN claimed the Defendant failed to make a payment when they had made a payment.   I haven't finished yet but that is something to start with
    • You don't appeal to anyone. You haven't' received a demand from a statutory body like the council, the police or the courts. It's just a dodgy cowboy company trying it on. You simply don't pay.  In the vast majority of these cases the company deforest the Amazon with threats about how they are going to divert a drone from Ukraine and make it land on your home - but in the end they do nothing.
    • honestly you sound like you work the claimant yes affixed dont appeal to anyone no cant be “argued either way”  
    • Because of the tsunami of cases we are having for this scam site, over the weekend I had a look at MET cases we have here stretching back to June 2014.  Yes, ten years. MET have not once had the guts to put a case in front of a judge. In about 5% of cases they have issued court papers in the hope that the motorist will be terrified of going to court and will give in.  However, when the motorist defended, it was MET who bottled it.  Every time.
    • Hi everyone, Thanks for the responses. Just a few follow up questions in light of what's been said:   If I dont appeal to PPM, who can I appeal to?   Why should the PCN been attached to the windscreen? Is this written in law?   I assumed the document I had received was the NTK, if this is not the case, what does a NTK look like?   Regarding the compliance with the Protection of Freedoms Act, could the "period" of parking not be argued either way? The legislation doesnt state it must have a start/end time of parking, which I assumed an ANPR camera would pick up if it had one. Is 4 minutes not technically enough to show the vehicle was parked?    Thanks !

    • 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.

I think what PCAD are claiming is that the repair/replacement cost a total of £3468. They claimed on the insurance and got paid but, because there was a £2,500 excess, they only got £968. They are therefore suing Fred for the £2,500.

 

The validity of the £968 on the claim is, at best, questionable IMO unless the insurers are also a party to the claim. They don't appear to be.

Having gone back through the thread and re-read patma's summary of the directions hearing I think I now understand why they're claiming the £968.

[the judge] asked the barrister if this was a "subrogation claim" to which she replied that it was. Fred asked what that meant and was told it meant that the college were claiming back what the insurance company had paid in order to refund it to the insurers. He said this was normal.

I too am struck by the desperation of the en forces here. I wonder if, at the end, it will transpire that someone reached a point of no return and decided that the risk of continuing was less than the risk of giving up.

 

Solicitors are like prostitutes - they will do whatever their client wants as long as the money is there - but I suspect that someone at PCAD is very, very worried.

 

 

& if they don't follow the client's instruction, often no matter how crass, they risk being struck off the Roll.......... so it's not ALL about money as you imply. Having said that if there is doubt as to the veracity of their clients statements they certainly should get thir clients to sign them rather than do it for them

I've emailed you a whole load of goodies, TLD;)

 

Thank you Patma, I've read them through again and again and I'm still struggling to understand why on earth they would say this, the moreso when at the same time we received those other two emails from NS. Somebody is correct and somebody is ... well not correct in the slightest.:eek:

 

Considering the incident happened in week seven of 2006 I submit that the barrier in the cctv footage had not aged well for a barrier that was installed in.... 2006. Having had the (real) manufacturer positively identify it as one of theirs and confirm that it is hydraulically operated etc etc. the obvious question is why would they still be trying to obfuscate what should be such a simple fact to the extent that even under forced disclosure by order of a Judge they are prepared to make statements like that?

 

 

 

They claim it was a Dallamano and yet no barrier has ever carried that model name.

 

But interestingly there was a cinematographer called Massimo Dallamano whose most famous work involved a bunch of cowboys and was titled

"Per un pugno di dollari".

 

Or as we know it "For a Fistful of Dollars"............

 

You couldn't make it up!! :lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:

If you don't mind a little investigation, humiliation, and if you cross your fingers rehabilitation..............

No wonder I couldn't find one, no matter how hard I googled.

Maybe it exists in a parallel universe and this is proof of other dimensions. By some quirk of fate Fred has got tangled up with this other dimension. I could write a scifi story about this:smile:

Careful what you say about dimensions Patma the Cagbot might think you're being technical about hydraulic barriers and everything will disappear again. What do you think about the scribbling out and the subsequent amendment on the insurers initial claim form, sus or what???? I do think that needs to go in the Chief Supers bundle as further evidence.

Q) Is this barrier a:

 

a) RIB barrier Clue here LINK

or

 

b) BFT barrier clue here LINK

 

 

and if those that have looked agree it is a BFT does anyone think that PCAD were overcharged more than a little for about 2-4 hours work?

 

Oh here's the shot the college provided of the 'new' barrier.

 

I notice the following:

 

There is no keypad or swipe card on the drivers side upon exit.

There is an induction coil in the tarmac for free exit.

The barrier appears to be broken again, this time the arm is missing. Did this happen often at the college?

That's very well spotted, I don't know how many times I've looked at that pic, but not registered that the arm is missing, back when that pic was taken to "prove" there was a warning sign.

The pictures Fred took where taken soon after the new barrier was installed and before the college authorities changed their signs, and you can see the intact barrier, not broken.

:DI wonder what else has been staring us in the face:D

Look at the colour, the fittings, the RIB logo can be seen on the colleges own photo and viewed from above a RIB is square and a BFT is rectangular.

 

 

But I did notice the arm was missing, I presumed it was when it was being replaced after the alleged incident.

 

The barrier involved in the incident was a FAAC (confirmed by the manufacturer), shortly after the incident Fred took his pictures which show the new barrier to be a RIB, the college took their picture after Fred (proven by the appearance of the security sign on the wall).

 

The college are claiming that the (old) barrier involved in the incident and subsequently replaced was a RIB and the 'new' barrier is a BFT.:-?

Does anyone remember that a couple of weeks ago, I sent a FOI request to Mr Bryan Turner Estates Manager of PCAD?

Well I've just checked my trusty CAG email and I have a reply.

As this is Freedom of Information I see no reason not to share it. Hope I don't get cagbotted:D

 

 

I am replying to your email sent to Mr Bryan Turner (Estates Manager) as follows:-1) Make = RIB, Model = DALLAMANO, Serial Numbers = Unknown, Date installed 20062) Make = BFT, Model = Unknown, Serial Number = Unknown, Age = approximately 3 yearsold.3) We do not hold these records (over 3 years old) - the company which replaced thedamaged barrier is not now employed by the College and after checking with them theydo not have these records either.4) See answer to 2).5) College car parks (parking) have always been accessed by Staff ONLY - studentshave never been allowed access. The barriers were/are opened/accessed by staffcards, so no student would be able to gain access unless they closely followed astaff member/vehicle through the barrier. 6) See answer to 3).7) See answer to 3).8) and 9) Please contact Insurance Company - Unknown. No claims for damage to barriers.Claire HughesEstates Admin

 

Dear Mr Turner, I understand that you are the Estates Manager for PCAD and as such, could you please provide me with the following information under The Freedom of Information Act 2000. 1) The make model and serial numbers of your current car park barrier in the rear car park. 2) The make, model and serial number of the previous car park barrier in the rear car park and the date of it's installation. 3) A copy of the maintenance and repair manual of the old car park barrier which was replaced between 03/04/2006 and 21/03/2006 in the rear car park. 4) The age of the car park barrier, at the time it was replaced in the old car park. 5) The rules governing access to car parks on campus, including the full audit trail of changes to these rules since 1.1.06 . This information to include method of access, who was/is allowed access and opening and closing times of the car parks. 6) Information as to the state of the rear car park barrier when it was next inspected after 4.3.06, including a copy of the engineer's report at that time. 7) Full details of how many times and for what reasons the maintainer had been called out in the previous 24mths (ie prior to 4.3.06) to fix faults with the barriers, their nature and fault correction required. 8) How many claims have been made on their insurance by PCAD for damage to property over the last 6 years, giving details of the alleged damage and results of the claims. 9) How many court claims have been initiated by PCAD over the last 6 years in respect of alleged damage to property?

Well I would have thought there would be some sort of sanctions available to stop people being untruthful in such scenarios.;)

 

BTW Compare that to LD's letter it could have been written by the same person, in fact it's so similar that both the college and the solicitotrs have omitted the full stop after 'Date installed 2006'.

So not only did no-one check on the invoice for the manufacturer of the new barrier but no-one thought to stroll outside & look on the barrier either before issuing a claim. :eek:

 

This story gets more & more incredible; if it was still around, I'd think it was a set up for 'Candid Camera'.

It might be very helpful for Miss Hughes if you were to reply pointing out her errors. A hyperlink to the departmental meeting minutes and maybe a hyperlink to the Faac website might help jog her memory. There's no need to copy over the information you have received from Faac I'm sure it's just a genuine misunderstanding.

 

Seeing as Ms Hughes obviously has a direct line to Lyons Davidsons solicitors printer, while she's amending the FOI rquest, an amendment to their disclosure prior to Fred walking into Court might save them all some small problems.

Nobody here gives a flying fig about access it's EGRESS we are bothered with. How hard is that for them to understand?????? It's all across the POC that you need a card to access, pin to access, permission to access, Fred had no problem getting in but he's had a heck of a job getting out!!

 

It was a free exit car park as illustrated by the loop in the road. Fred could not exit not because he din't have a swipe card, permission or a pin but because the barrier was broken.

I'm sure you're right. Let's not forget this an art college and we have to allow some "artistic licence".

Well I would have thought there would be some sort of sanctions available to stop people being untruthful in such scenarios.

 

 

It comes under the Information Commissioner's remit to ensure that authorities comply etc. with the ultimate sanction that they can face a 'contempt of court' charge.

 

See this report dated March 2009:http://www.ico.gov.uk/upload/documents/library/freedom_of_information/practical_application/monitoring_strategy.pdf

 

In particular note this para:

It should also be noted that a breach of section 77 FOIA, may lead to a criminal sanction. For example, where the investigation of concerns in relation to records management relates to the inappropriate or deliberate destruction or concealment of information with the intention of preventing disclosure to which an applicant would have been entitled.

 

Hope LD know a good solicitor ;)
