    • 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.

Similar to council tax I thought - though I am guessing

tomtubby did one ages ago, something about not having the goods to be able to satisfy the debt - it was very good.

Fee's. only court fee's and basic company fee's added at first (about £500 in total).

 

after that, no further fee's untill AHCEO levies on something and then he can charge upto £300+vat for any visits he makes if its a residential case. £400 if its commercial.

 

Just a basic letter even hand written would do but you would need signed documents from the owner of the goods so if ownership is questioned in court, there may be a problem if that person is not really the owner. If the other person really is the owner then reciepts and or written confirmation will be fine.

It does not matter with HCE group as they can sieze a lawnmower for a £1,000,000 debt if they wish too. We dont work under the same rules as council tax bailiffs and so on.

 

I have siezed and removed just 2 cars worth about £3000 for a £1.25million debt as thats all they had. then they were made bankrupt by claimant.

The Bailiff

 

You may be interested to know that we are hearing more and more complaints from CREDITORS using the services of High Court Enforcement companies who are very unhappy because they were not aware of the high level of fees being charged to the debtor by the HCEO and that they will ONLY be paid AFTER your fees have first been dealt with.

 

Many creditors have told me that they wished that they had instead used the services of the County Court Bailiff !!

 

The statutory regulations covering your firms fees are of course set by Parliament and the crucial term used is that "reasonable" fees can be made. There is NO WAY POSSIBLE that a visit fee of £400 to £500 can ever be seen as "reasonable" and I am sure that most, if not all. people reading this will agree.

 

I would like to say that I welcome your input in these posts as this subject is very difficult to understand.

Bit pointless wasn't it, I mean once they are BR the claimant isn't likely to get any money back.

 

not as pointless as you might think. we were siezing and removing everything of his we could find. in the end it was 2 cars a couple or garge tools and some other small pieces.

 

After he was made bankrupt they found no less than 4 homes in his name aswell as 7 cars agarged at one of those properties, all registered in his name.

 

He was a drug dealer and all that crap and thought he was clever. Also, the claim was not made by a public company but with powers to recover goods bought from the proceeds of crime, or goods to the value of, proceeds from crime belonging to the debtor.

Why wasn't a land registry search made much earlier in the piece?

I really do appreciate all those 'thank you' emails - I'm glad I've been able to help. Apologies if I haven't acknowledged all of them.

You can also ding my gong if you prefer. :)

Things in life are never as simple as you think and when someone has multiple its difficult to chase all his belongings. it took about six months to find everything in the end. While i was searching for him he was using 6 different names, either just slight spelling differences or completely different names.

 

You see, you think we have it easy. it took months searching for this guy and in that time we earnt nothing. not a single penny. bailiffs dont just go after the easy subject. We chase criminals half the time to recover money which belongs to YOU (by way of goverment that is).
