    • 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.

    • 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'm tired of Scott and clowns adding zeros to my friends account.

 

What is the process for claiming back charges from this set of losers and what are acceptable fees assoaciated with writing scary letters.

 

Thanks all

This is probably a question for rory32 but if anyone else can answer feel free.

 

I have been advising people on here and firmly believed that the council could not refuse payments or arrangements to pay, but I am now not sure due to an existing issue with a DCA/Council.

 

Can a council refuse an offer of payment and instead refer you to the DCA?

 

If so why?

 

The DCA does not buy council tax debt therfore they are only the pond life charged with collecting. Right?

Hi UnmoderatetheNet, as you say, the council dont sell the debt, they aim to collect in full, in my experience it has always been sheriff officers who pursued the debt with the council adding a 10% surcharge. This is one for Rory.

I think it is usually a matter for the Local Authority. Some may be reluctant to take the debt back from the DCA as they do not have the capacity or systems to monitor that the arrangement is being adhered to. Some will take the debt back. Also if the payments were not maintained the Council would then have to pass the debt back to the DCA to do dilligence, arrestment, attachments etc.

sorry to be blatantly bumping this but does anyone know what the deal is with councils refusing payment.

 

Where does it state that councils can choose to ignore any cheques received or bin any completed DD mandates received????

 

Councils unlike private companies are governed by written code of practice

You tend to get this reaction with all ombudsman departments.

They are there to be used when you've exhausted the normal channels.

What are the standard charges for a DCA Sheriff chasing a council tax debt?

 

Can they charge whatever they want?

 

Are the fees regulated or documented?

 

Thanks caggers

For the granting of a summary warrant a surcharge of 10% of the outstanding balance is added.

 

If further action is required through diligence then the following fees apply http://www.opsi.gov.uk/legislation/scotland/ssi2008/pdf/ssi_20080430_en.pdf

Who is the Scottish equivalent of the FOS for sheriffs?

I've noticed a sharp increase in lies and blatant abuse of OFT guidelines from Scott and clowns and believe they are well over due for a complaint or two.

It’s also good to tell people where to go if they feel they have been unjustly treated.

I thought it was straight forward enough.

So let me further explain. When Blair, Oliver and Scott or Moorcroft don't supply a CCA for example you report them to FOS. At least I hope you do.

Now Scott and clowns generally deal with council tax but despite there sheriffs status they are prone to abusing the system, sending misleading letters and they employ collections staff who they later have to claim ‘are retraining and our fully trained staff would never say things like that’.

They also state in numerous letters I’ve seen that they deal with summary warrants at sheriff’s court and are outside the remit of FOS.

So who are the Scottish equivalent for the FOS or who keeps the Scottish sheriffs in line because I for one would love to know.

It's not actually a sheriff you would be complaining about, it's a sheriff's officer, which I think is where the confusion arose.

 

You can send your complaint in writing to the Sheriff Principal - call your local sheriff court for contact details.You could also make a complaint to the Society of Messengers-At-Arms and Sheriff Officers.

 

The Sheriff Principal has the power to fine and censure the company and individuals in question, as was the case with Stirling Park (owned by the DCA Intrum Justitia no less). The Sheriff Principal is the only person who can take away a sheriff officer’s right to practise.
