    • What do you guys think the chances are for her?   She followed the law, they didnt, then they engage in deception, would the judge take kindly to being lied to by these clowns? If we have a case then we should proceed and not allow these blatant dishonest cheaters to succeed 
    • I have looked at the car park and it is quite clearly marked that it is  pay to park  and advising that there are cameras installed so kind of difficult to dispute that. On the other hand it doesn't appear to state at the entrance what the charge is for breaching their rules. However they do have a load of writing in the two notices under the entrance sign which it would help if you could photograph legible copies of them. Also legible photos of the signs inside the car park as well as legible photos of the payment signs. I say legible because the wording of their signs is very important as to whether they have formed a contract with motorists. For example the entrance sign itself doe not offer a contract because it states the T&Cs are inside the car park. But the the two signs below may change that situation which is why we would like to see them. I have looked at their Notice to Keeper which is pretty close to what it should say apart from one item. Under the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012 Schedule 4 Section 9 [2]a] the PCN should specify the period of parking. It doesn't. It does show the ANPR times but that includes driving from the entrance to the parking spot and then from the parking place to the exit. I know that this is a small car park but the Act is quite clear that the parking period must be specified. That failure means that the keeper is no longer responsible for the charge, only the driver is now liable to pay. Should this ever go to Court , Judges do not accept that the driver and the keeper are the same person so ECP will have their work cut out deciding who was driving. As long as they do not know, it will be difficult for them to win in Court which is one reason why we advise not to appeal since the appeal can lead to them finding out at times that the driver  and the keeper were the same person. You will get loads of threats from ECP and their sixth rate debt collectors and solicitors. They will also keep quoting ever higher amounts owed. Do not worry, the maximum. they can charge is the amount on the sign. Anything over that is unlawful. You can safely ignore the drivel from the Drips but come back to us should you receive a Letter of Claim. That will be the Snotty letter time.

    • Yes, it was, but in practice we've found time after time that judges will not rule against PPCs solely on the lack of PP.  They should - but they don't.  We include illegal signage in WSs, but more as a tactic to show the PPC up as spvis rather than in the hope that the judge will act on that one point alone. But sue them for what?  They haven't really done much apart from sending you stupid letters. Breach of GDPR?  It could be argued they knew you had Supremacy of Contact but it's a a long shot. Trespass to your vehicle?  I know someone on the Parking Prankster blog did that but it's one case out of thousands. Surely best to defy them and put the onus on them to sue you.  Make them carry the risk.  And if they finally do - smash them. If you want, I suppose you could have a laugh at the MA's expense.  Tell them about the criminality they have endorsed and give them 24 hours to have your tickets cancelled and have the signs removed - otherwise you will contact the council to start enforcement for breach of planning permission.

    • 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

 

I posted yesterday about my brother being illegally evicted by Landord for arrears even though he had no court order.

 

We decided to help him move yesterday as we thought it best for safety. We did call the police who logged it.

 

This morning we text the landlord to say that we had moved him out and that we had put the key through the door. The previous day he had mentioned court proceedings to recover the arrears (2 months) so we told him to send it to our solicitor as my brother is disabled and would be unable to respond correctly. He then said don't mess with me I'm coming round now. I took my son out so that he wasn't there when he arrived. My husband called the police and while he was on to the police the landlord turned up at our house. Forced entry into our property by breaking our gates and said we have till Friday to pay or he will be back with his mates and said you know what I mean.

 

The police woman heard all of this and sent the police around. THey said they could arrest him but obviously we are concerned for our safey and any repercussions. I know we can get an injunction but still fear reprisals. We feel our only option is to somehow find the money. We have never said that it would not be paid but wanted to set up a payment plan. We don't think we can find the money in time.

 

Does anyone have any advice please?

Pay the rent due, on time to avoid confrontation.

 

Does the landlord has a right to their rent?

What attempts in the unpaid rent two months did you make to resolve the situation?

 

Who is in the wrong?

The landlord has a right to rent. Which you dont seem to want to pay.

Bad to the bone,

You have posted only twice on this site so far and both of your comments are rude and offer no constructive advice whatsoever. Do you honestly believe that if the OP did not want to pay rent that they would have taken the time to find a site such as this to seek advice? I dont!

Please review the manner in which you are responding as I dont think you are going to get help from others when you need it if you continue this way!

 

I will not get into a debate with you about this, i am merely appealing for you to understand the nature of this forum!

Please refrain from personal remarks, dont live up to your name ;)

Tomorrow, Monday, you need to make a quick call to the Local Authority's Housing department, and ask them to put you on to the person who deals with illegal eviction. If you get no joy then straight on to Shelter. National Number in yellow pages.

 

You've done right to call the police, log everything, record everything where ever possible, can you make your neighbours aware of this level of violence? They can be witnesses.

 

And yes, of course the rent should have been paid, but that's in an ideal world and in the real world things go wrong for people and some of those people cannot cope. In an ideal world we no longer have Rachman type landlord - in the real world we have people like this orang utan.

 

The correct procedure is that the landlord serves you with Notice of Seeking Possession. This can be for rent arrears, Section 8 and he can start proceedings at the expiry of this - 2 - 4 weeks, whatever hehas out on there. Then you get a hearing date and then you go to Court. If he gets outright possession a date is set for you to leave and if you don't leave on that date he can apply for a warrant to have you evicted by a BAILIFF - not him. It'll cost you £150 for the hearing and £95 for the warrant. If he does anything else he is bang out of order and you can sue him. I should start writing down a diary now of how many ways he has distressed you.

 

Good luck, I hope you stay safe and this is resolved quickly.

Whilst this is a little out of my comfort zone, i have to agree with JackieandWaynes advice.

 

And as for Bad to the Bone, what goes around, comes around. I hope you get the help you need, when you need it, just don't ask me!

Are you being harrassed by a DCA or Brighthouse. Click the link for OFT Debt collection guidelines. Chances are, they could be in breach of some part of sections 2 or 3 or both!

If you were helped, then please wiggle my scales, and you might get a wiggle back!!!

Hi

 

Thanks to those who have left supportive and helpful answers.

 

I won't justify the rent arrears suffice to say that any offers to repay at an agreed amount were turned down pointblank therefore was not an option. He is not a freeloader and I hope that the people who have left such unhelpful feedback never find themselves in this situation.

 

Since when is it ok to break into our property and threaten us. Its bad enough anyway but its not even our debt.

 

Unfortunately on this occasion it looks like the bully will win as we have our family's safety to think about.

 

Thanks to those for their helpful comments - wish we could act on them.

Bad to the Bone and Jolly green giant. The OP has stated that she/he has been threatened and you come out with ridiculous statements such as pay your rent on time. Lets hope tough times never fall on you and that you dont come on this site for any help.!!!!

Please note, my advice is only my opinion.

If you have found my advice helpful, please tip my scales, thank you
