    • 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.

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.

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.

    • 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 have been parking @ this car park for the past 6 months 3/4 days a week paying 3.50 for all day parking. Last Thu's (27th) i came to my car from work finding the Parking ticket.(copy attached). I have no intention of paying them £80 for a 3.50 car parking space- that i have paid for. I will state this in a letter to them today.

 

My question is this. As you can see on the PCN they have stated i was parked in 'Globe Road 4' But i wasnt, i was parked in Globe Road 3- like i always do, my P+D also shows i was parked in Globe Road 3. Does this mean they have no case at all to fine me- as they have written me a ticket for a car park i wasnt even in?

 

 

many thanks and hoping for quick replys.

 

Jay

 

(P.S I have template letters and read the legal advise on Private Company contracts )

 

PPS- i cant find a button for attaching image

P+D = My Pay and display ticket i bought and placed in my windscreen- but on that day i put it up the wrong way round. It states on the Pay and display ticket that It was bought in Globe Road 3. and yes they are seperated.

 

I was fined a code 83- i.e not correctly displaying the ticket.

 

Also, I wont until iv had advice, But i want to end this before it begins. I dont want to have to write a series of letters.

So you have been fined (£80-for displaying a (legal - as fully paid) ticket upside down!!!) - in a car park you weren't even in . . .

I think you should pen letter you intend to send in response to this . . on here for the scrutiny of those who have dealth with this before - so they can ammend for you, and advise you - to make more effective, prior to sending . . . Initially, i dont think they could enforce this - but im not 100%, so take more advice on here first . . .

 

Never admit your wrong . . .

Pen your letter to sound like your distressed, due to the fact that you feel you have paid-in-full for parking service.

State that you feel it is not legally enforcable - tell them you have taken legal advice from family member - This suggests to them that your not a fool they can bully!!!

Make clear your intention to fight it to the death - even if this is not the case - these fools only persue the ones they know they can win (thery're predators) - if it sounds like a costly case for them, as your willing to fight all the way, they might let it go . . .

 

Also, wait for and take all other advice on here . . .

Dear Sir/madam

 

Parking Ticket Serial No. VC/0042219 A

 

I have been parking in the Globe Road car parks for almost 6 months 3-4 days a week and flawlessly been paying for an all day car parking space. I am outraged at getting a parking ticket and will not pay any amount you ask for.

 

Regarding above stated matter. I am appealing this charge on a number of reasons.

 

Firstly, attached is a copy of the Ticket I paid for on the 27th of November. By showing this proof of payment (see enclosed parking ticket and Pay and Display Ticket) I claim that you have not lost any revenue and absolutely deny that I am liable to pay you any amount further.

 

Secondly, and somewhat more importantly. I was parked in the ‘Globe Road 3’ car park, and your parking officer has written the ticket for ‘Globe Road 4’

I cant be charged for a ticket when my car was not even there.

 

I must tell you that I work in a highly recognised Solicitors and I have a lot of legal information at my disposal.

 

So, To summarise, Your company has fined me £80 for displaying a (legal - and fully paid) ticket upside down, In a car park I wasn’t even in.

 

I trust this will be the end of the matter.

 

Thank you for your time

 

Kind regards,

Wait! If it's a private company then you should not write to them under any circumstances. Any "appeal" will be binned and they will then have more information about you.

 

Was it a council ticket, or from a private company?

Its up to you, if you want to waste your time go ahead, they will ignore anything you say and will not accept any logical explanations so the more you write the more they think you are concerned and the more demands you will get.

Its unenforceable so the best way for it go away is to ignore them and they will give up.

Ok, But answer me this if you (anyone) can.

 

Can they even fine me as they written the wrong location down?

 

Thanks

Forget about the location, it's irrelevant. The ticket is an invoice and has no legal meaning. You do not have to pay.

 

The usuall advice nowadays is not to contact them. The template letters were written earlier but were ignored by the parking companies so are now considered a bit pointless as it's become clear they obviously aren't interested in trying to resolve disputes.

 

As you did pay and display a ticket it might be worth an initial letter just stating this and saying they will not be paid and you expect no further action. If they go into autopilot mode, just ignore them.

Post by me are intended as a discussion of the issues involved, as these are of general interest to me and others on the forum. Although it is hoped such discussion will be of use to readers, before exposing yourself to risk of loss you should not rely on any principles discussed without confirming the situation with a qualified person.

It is not aquestion of fining you, as they cant do that anyway. Even if the correct location was stated; you dont have to pay so why are you bothering. Now if it was a legal ( council or on road offense ) ticket it would be worth chasing and appealing the ticket.

 

If it did go to court ( 1 in a billion, as it would cost them money to do that ) what would they claim for, you had paid the parking fee and displayed it, do you think a magistrate or judge would award them anything just because the ticket was upside down; I dont think so.

 

These operators rely on putting tickets on vehicles for any reason and hope people will pay up! unfortunately a percentage do.

Hi,

 

I would personally ignore it. I got a ticket for parking on a bit of private land to drop my DJ'ing equipment off. The ticket was for £35 (I think, the story about it is on here somewhere) and i got it in July. It is now 3rd December and I have never heard anything back. Have a look at some of the stories on here about Private companies and how their tickets are more or less worthless.

 

Don't worry about it and have a great christmas :)

Il proberly write a letter to them with photocopy of Pay n disdplay ticket.

 

Now, I was thinking to not put a name or return address on it. I know and understand if i write with my address and name then they will have it easy and be able to contact me when evre but if i dont they will have to go through the DVLA,so hopefully wont bother. Good idea? or not?

 

 

If i get letters back off them I will ignor them or use the templates.

I would still ignore them. you have done nothing wrong so why waste your time telling them this. Its up to them to prove you were in the wrong so let them do it (which I doubt they will). For them to get in contact with you they have to go to the DVLA and even though I'm not 100% sure about it I think the DVLA will charge them for releasing information.

 

The choice is yours but you should let them do the chasing.

I trust this will be the end of the matter and you will have no further communication asking for any amount as I absolutely do not have to pay.

 

Thank you for your time.

 

 

If i send them something like that they will still have to go through the DVLA if they want to, but it shows I have made contact IF (very unlikley i know) This goes anywhere.

 

Im sure you think your talking to a brick wall, your not i understand your points and im pretty positive that ignoring it would work. I just dont like leaving things

Well that is up to you. You have put your point across to them and thats fine. You haven't left them a way of getting in touch with you so again thats fine. Its completely up to you, either way I expect you will get the same result but it is whatever will make you feel better :)
