    • 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.

What documents do you have from Swift/broker.

 

I am pretty certain that if you have a strong case then you can ask the judge to delay the eviction and order Swift to disclose at the hearing next week. What has been shown at previous hearings for the case to be adjourned. What have Swift investigated, and what exactly did the police do?

On the first hearing we went with a CAB representative and a drafted letter from our solicitors stating the fraud where the judge suspended the eviction pending an application to set it aside! The second eviction swift cancelled it after seeing the handwriting expert report! Swift have done no investigating as far as we have been told! The police tell us they are looking into it but it is not a priority and they will get back to us all I have from swift is a unregulated credit agreement from them thus far!

Right to make this clear - and you will need this to defend in court can you sit down and make a timeline of events to the best of your knowledge?

Put a date against every event/letter/meeting and cross ref it to any correspondance you have. Also type out any orders you ahve had from the court on the repossesion and the exact wording. Same with the police, CAB, Swift, solicitors etc.

In your first post you mention selling the house, what is the background on this?

I have contacted shelter today they told me I should ask the judge to adjorn the possession order generally in order for all evidence to be gathered can this be done or is it all too late? For TWO years this nightmare has been going on!

If the solicitors are able to act for you then they will be able to put your application to the court. You need to ring them in the morning and find out what the decision is. We can then advise accordingly.

Hi, I have contacted my solicitor AGAIN and they have once again told me that the file is still in the no win no fee risk assessment department and they will get back to me this afternoon or tomorrow morning! As every1 can understand I am very anxious and there is just 6 working days left to help my parents! Can anyone suggest how I can get this matter solved and eviction prevented or do I have to find my parents and sisters somewhere to live?

 

Thank you

OK, I really do realise that this is very stressful for you, but you need to get the information put down. I've no doubt a judge would suspend any eviction and set the matter down for trial, but you will need to make an application to that effect.

 

Has your solicitor come back to you? Otherwise we need to get our heads together and get cracking. Don't lose heart - it is not too late.

Bonita - this is a long shot, but worth a go, I've seen this happen twice in 26 years of Local Authority housing work.

 

If you can, tomorrow go down to the Housing Department with your parents and family and make an emergency homeless application. I think your parents will qualify as priority need - it sounds like your father is elderly and not in the best of health?

 

For something this complex the homeless officer will have to speak to the Council's solicitors. The Housing Dept will want to avoid having to house your family and will attempt to avoid the homelessness occurring. Their Legal Team is a tool they can use if need be, and its possible the Local Authority;s solicitor might act very swiftly to stop the homelessness - this could solve your legal representation problem. Please bear in mind that I say COULD - this is a long shot - but worth a go.

 

When you go, take all the paperwork you have in a folder, put it all in date order as best you can, take absolutely everything you can think of. I'm pretty sure they'll have to take legal advice on your case as it is so rare and unusual (I would hope!). The only feasible way to stop this homelessness is to represent you in court to stop the eviction. Give this a go - fingers crossed.

 

Oh, and to help them take evidence of what your income and outgoings are for everyone affected, and show what you have had to spend already on legal help - because they will go through finances etc.

 

Good luck and calm down, no judge is going to allow this if you do just as Ell-en says.

Eviction Notice Given for March 17,2008

Attended Court On March 14,2008 with a CAB representative and a our solicitors application to suspend eviction which was granted!

March 17,2008- Bailiffs turn up at the door and scare my mother before drilling the door locks open I ran all the way to my mothers house while listening to her crying and screaming on the phone as they wouldn't read the suspended eviction order letter from the court!

I arrive to confront them I call the bailiff office the county court the CAB and our solicitors who say that should not have happened!

They leave without an apology and the locksmith takes pity on us due to such a traumatic event and repairs my parents locks!

Our solicitors request details from Swift who provide us with the following:

Unregulated credit agreement, additional information,authorities and declarations,income affordabiliti letter,direct debit mandate(ACC NOT MY FATHERS),authorities and declaration forms,legal charge for a consumer credit agreement,legal charge

Our solicitors state this is not enough evidence from swift and state that we should get a handwriting expert report to further help my fathers case and help set the judgement aside!

On May 2008 we receive a letter from the county court stating:

 

Deputy District Judge Glasner

 

Upon Swift not attending

and upon reading a letter from defendant 1

and upon reading a letter from defendant 2

 

IT IS ORDERED THAT The action be adjourned generally and the claim be struck out if no request to restore is received by 1 September 2008!

 

Swift respond by obtaining an eviction for September 16,2008

 

On August 16,2008 A POSITIVE report is received from the handwriting expert report is received our solicitors speak to their barrister and then send swift the expert report upon seeing the report swift CANCEL the eviction themselves!!

I contact the bailiff office because after what happened last time I want to make sure no bailiffs will show up and they tell me they have nothing on their system to say swift have cancedlled the eviction I contact my solicitor who calls swift who assure him they have yet I call the bailiff office oncemore and they say they have received no request to cancel the eviction HOWEVER should the swift representative FAIL to appear the bailiffs will turn up and just walk away! After a sleepless night we were in pieces the next morning but thankfully NO ONE came!

 

Now once again Swift have obtained another eviction for February 18,2009!!! And I am very scared!!

No the two don't go together - it would depend on the LTV if there was a physical valuation done or not. In any event the valuation fee would have been paid up front before any funds were released.

 

 

I am assuming that if this was a planned fraud they are going to have paid all the mortgage fees to cover the trail and also if there was a valuation they would have intercepted the post so that they could have been there at the time of the visit. My comment was really that I have heard of some companies,even where there was a high LTV, still only doing a drive by valuation. And obviously the " friend" in the loosest terms would not have paid for a full survey.

 

I would have faith that if the court acted in the correct way last time then they will this time. Then the main objective will be to stop the lender proceeding with evictions untill the fraud case is sorted - Which i guess will not come under the juristiction of the arrears hearing ,unfortunately.

My solicitors last spoke to swift on September 11 I believe when swift cancelled the eviction! I am really very scared if my solicitor decide my father does not qualify for no win no fee after keeping us waiting for a week that leaves me 6 days to find my parents accomodation I really am losing hope and am finding it difficult to cope!
