    • NO EMAIL. Not only for the reasons outlined above. CPR Rules state that PAPLOC's can't be served by email unless you give them express consent to this (just giving them your email address is *not* express consent), meaning that they have to be served by post. Either way, a court claim can't arrive by email either. The courts will send that by post. They'll file it to your old address and you'll have no idea until a couple months later when all of a sudden a CCJ is on your credit file because they've obtained what we call a backdoor CCJ.   In this case, ignore entirely. That is more useful for more "normal" private parking invoices.   
    • I read the Ignore thread that your reply linked to and it recommends that a letter be sent: You should write to the car park owner - the supermarket etc - not the parking company- with a brief letter denying that any money is owed at all. Also ask the car park owner if they have given authority to the car park operator to bring any legal action against you. You should also complain and asked them why they are prepared to sell their reputation by treating their customers as enemies – and wouldn't it be better that the £160 odd, which the private parking company is trying to take from you were spent in their shop/supermarket rather than going to a wholly non-productive company such as [X X X name the company X X X]? The car park owner will also realise that it is their reputation which is associated with their draconian action - not the parking company which is merely acting as a fall-boy. Should I do this or just ignore it entirely?
    • Thank you so much! This is all I have in terms of documentation hope it's ok.  Morality Law JC Acquisition Claim.pdf
    • Not to worry but these are the the kind of questions a judge will throw at you so you have to be ready and have the answers. Can you scan redact and upload the documentation received (letter of claim) prior the claim so I can check all details.I will draft you a fresh defence in the morning so please upload so I have it to hand first thing.

    • 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.

a 'city' is a big place and this is in a mostly residential area,

 

least to mention that it's the same piece of land that my apartment block is on, owned by the same company that i bought my apartment off, and that I pay maintenence to.

 

not that any of that is the issue at hand - the issue at hand is a private company issuing 'PCNs' on postcoded public access roads.

The general idea in this site is to help each other

 

Such comments as "ignorant freeloader" are not helpful and especially not from one such as yourself who has a limited post history of 2

 

 

In future, if you feel this way about such things, stay off the parking related forums and keep your blood pressure lower

 

I would add that I find it somewhat suspicous that you would seek out this forum and then in your 2nd post attempt to back up the private parking companies attitude, but maybe thats just me

I see nothing wrong with IEA CIEOs issuing PCNs on roads adjoining carparks where they hold the contract for enforcement.

Yes we all know your views Mr PPC Troll. The question is that the paper that they issue is about as enforcable as toilet paper. There is also the question of the dubious legality of these "invoices".

Do you really expect there to be free parking areas in a city like Bristol?

 

No reason why not.

 

For a while (I am not sure it still holds) Sunderland was one big free parking area as the authorities had failed to ensure that their signage was legal.

Why not?

 

Given that Bristol CC are the biggest bunch of facists you could imagine when it comes to parking. (e.g. They've ridden roughshod over the publics wishes when a residential parking permit was piloted in spite of a majority opposition to it.) They ticket like it's going out of fashion, have reduced the number of on street parking places and repeatedly ballsed up public transport (one of the most expensive bus rides in the country).

 

So if I found a spot where I could park for nothing I'd be inclined to use it.

 

OP where abouts did you say it was? :D

Hey, i have recieved one of these on tuesday at half 10 at night, same place lime kiln road, i have got in contact with avon and somerset police and they have heard lots about this company, so have trading standards when i called them.

i spoke to the parking warden when he was issueing another ticket to my vehicle and asked where are the signs then?? his responce was 'about' i then continued to **** him off whilst claiming the ticketed vehicle wasnt mine.

i also asked if he had any id, from what i understand parking wardens need to carry one?? is this true?

 

a friend just took the ticket off his car and set fire to it in front of me as he has had a few and has never recieved a letter from them.

 

any ideas guys?? shall i continue to pay it / park there??

cheers

See AI27's reply to the original post, ignore them

 

The only time I would worry is if they start clamping, but only due to the inconvenience of having to pay to get it removed and then sueing them to get the money back!

 

 

 

Not too sure about your other point , hopefully someone will know......

Doesnt matter, ticket is most probably a waste of space whatever

 

Ignore all they are saying, its tosh

 

Can you scan a copy of the ticket (removing your details) and let us see it to comment on content?

 

 

As with the others above, does it mention the road traffic act at all?

 

If so, its unlawful

Hi guys

I've been reading this thread with great interest, as 14 Services have also tried the same thing on me for parking on Lime Kiln Road, Bristol. However, I made the mistake of writing to appeal before I found your site, and have just received the attached rejection letter. The alleged 'offence' took place before Christmas 08 and the only sineage around seemed to relate to the adjacent building site.

From everything I've seen on your site, I shouldn't be concerned about the attached, however, I'm a bit of a scaredy cat and also I wouldn't want any baliffs arriving at my house and harassing my family if I wasn't there at the time. I've also seen Bernie the Bolt's suggested template letters and was considering replying using the suggested wording.

Any thoughts would be most welcome - Cheers.

put it on tinypic and post the URL up here in some usable form - suitably wash the picture of any personal details first, though zero chance of these jokers taking it to court by the looks of things. keep you own details private its the net and other PPCs trawl it for victims.

Thanks lamma. I was going to write back clarifying that this alledged debt is under dispute (to keep the baliffs at bay? [see Bernie the Bolt advice]) asking the following:

 

- who is the adjudication officer

- the name of the person who signed the letter

- why is there no right of further appeal

- how is it lawful to refuse to enter into further correspondence

- under which law(s) would the vehicle keeper be liable for anything

 

and pointing out as I did in my first letter that the laws they refer to in the original PCN do not apply to provate companies and that their demand for payment was illegal. What do you think?

don't waste your stamp - unless you want to get lost of letters from them that you can send to trading Standards later :) Bailiffs have NOTHING to do with this. if PPC takes you to court (won't happen) and you lose (won't happen) and then refuse to pay (can't get this far the train stopped long ago).

• do not pay

• do not contact them

ignore their letters, no matter how threatening

• they will give up and go away after a few letters

 

Your ticket is an interesting one because it's downright illegal. Councils enforce parking restrictions on the public highway with the Traffic Management Act. To issue private invoices using it as a way to dupe you into paying is fraud.

 

The police are unlikely to be interested, but send a copy to your local council 's parking department. They should be very interested.

 

As for you appeal - don't bother as there is no appeals process. A private company fraudulently [causing problems] the public is not going to accept 'appeals'.

 

 

As a Civil Enforcement Officer, I agree with the above. If the council has taken over the highways enforcement (as in its been decriminalised in that area). Then the council will issue the PCN, and it should clearly state the councils name etc.

I would suggest that Councils, even as highway authorities do not take over "highways enforcement"; they may well take over parking enforcement,but rest assured other highways enforcement remains in the hands of the Police

Thanks guys

Darwen - I think you may have missed the point a little. The council have not taken over parking enforcement in this area, it is apparently private land, so my concern is around whether or not the charges are valid and enforceable.

Cheers

I was refering to the highways enforcement for that area dealing with "Parking on the highways". I appologise for not making that clear.
