    • 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.

Hello again,

 

I posted my deffence on line. That way it is instant and easier to keep contol of. Don't panick you have another week, but I have been told by other caggers to get it in earlier as Thurbull are known for contacting the court and telling them they have not received the deffence, and that way they get Judgement by default. Not sure how that one works but there you go.

 

I have based my defence on the fact that there is no valid credit Agreement, all I have been sent to far is copy of an application form that no one would be able to read.

I have received statements that have the incorrect details on, I have received an incorrect default notice, all the paperwork has different ammounts. It is a mess.

Start of having a look at my thread. 42Man posted some links today that have good defence ideas.

 

Cheers

hello,

ive read through your posts and it seems my case is very similar to that of your father's in sense i have only received the application form. my debt stood at £2500 and now is over £4000 as they've added numbers on!...

i have received court papers on 3rd april and this saturday, HFO have sent me the 'documents' i asked for undr CPR . The notice of assignment was made up by themselves. on that it says date of assignment 30/7/08, but on the PoC its says HFO purchased debt 26th march 09. i have my own thread 'hfo sent court papers'. i wish you luck, i have yet to figureout defence:-|. ill keep and eye on your thread.

Been away for while so havent had a chance to keep this post updated but thanks to Pank's timely reminder I filed a defence online.

 

The defence was based on the fine examples in Panks thread. I am now just waiting for the courts response.

 

melmumof3 - If you havent already, I would suggest looking at Panks thread. It is also very similar to mine and there is some good information in there for you.

Turnbull have finally crawled out and responded to my dad after I filed my defence.

 

They hace sent a latter acknowledging receipt of my defence. A copy of the application form again (which I know is not a credit agreement) and set of statements (computer screen printout not copy of originals).

 

The statements have a different address to my dads current address, which is the same address as on the application form.

 

Now under CPR they are suggesting we resolve this issue as efficiently as possible and without neccesary expense (so nice of them!!).

 

If I dont comply with their niceness 7 days before the courts allocation submission date (Whats that?) then they will file their allocation questionaire.

 

So what to do next? Write to TB again saying the evidence provided is not good enough, no default notice, etc? Wait for it to be allocated and go for them in court?

Nothing yet.....Do you think its worth me writing again to Turnbull

 

I dont think its gaving any affect...I ask under CPR disclosure for everything they have

 

Are they really telling me that only have an application form and copy statements with a differant address.

 

I have read Pank's thread and a few other but I havent found one thats like mine

No default notice, No letter of assignment (as stated in POC), No CCA, No breakdown of Charges, Nothing...

 

Frankly I am amazed that this is managing to get this far...

Yes, repeat your request for the documents you want (as mentioned) and which they intend to rely on as in their POC. Point out specifically what they have failed to provide.

 

While they spout on about CPR (more CR*P in their case), they have failed to provide what was requested. It would look good for you in any court proceedings that you have pointed out to them their failure to provide documents, and that in fact they have failed to comply with CPR while you actually have.

 

Don't expect an answer though! This is their standard response at this stage - many of us have received it. My money's on a last-minute discontinuance.

Its been a while since i posted so let me update you on whats going on.

 

My father has been away on Holiday for a while and has come back to find an allocation questionnaire for Small Claims Track waiting for him (presumably because the amount is under £5000).

 

This AQ has to be submitted by this Sunday so I am looking at it now with a view of getting it done before Friday. The court is quite close so I can always get my father to deliver it by hand on Friday.

 

I still have had no response from Turnbull to my CPR request reminder letter which isnt even a surprise anymore.

 

So I have got this far with the form

A-Yes

B-No

c-Yes

D-No

E-No Experts

F-Self Evident

G-Should I outline the whole situation in here? its a small box - Can i attach another document

H-Do i pay the fee or does HFO

 

Any suggestions on G&H would be breatly appreciated.

I expect people will be along later today to help out but I would wait for somebody more experienceed in AQs, I've never had to fill in one myself so can't help.

 

I hope you hammer them in court, they bring claims very quickly and don't seem to have much paperwork.

 

Get this into the court ASAP - before Friday if possible just in case, they have a habit of trying to go online and getting judgement by default that way... naughty but 'allowable' If they do this to you we can defend quite easily.

I really need some help om Point G...am in work today so cantpost but hopefully someone can help me out

 

I have an outline of what I shall put in the box:-

No CCA

Non-Compliance with CPR - still outstanding

No default notice

No letter of assignment

 

Do i need to put anything more in there, i can always show all my documentation when a court date has been set but for now will this suffice.

It shows that perseverance does pay off in the end.

 

I am just finishing filling in this form I am going with what i outlined before. Will keep it brief since the court hearing (if it happens) should cover the details (or lack of) in this case.

 

Any last minute advice?

hello all,

mines similar, ive today receive turnbulls allocation questionnaire. lots of photocopies of statements, a cover note from M&S, which i assue is for the notice of assignment, M&S claim they never sent to me, it was on the very same paper from HFO it seems HFO used M&S letter head as its not even in colour IYSWIM....

HFO - My absolute heroes how have I missed this thread...incidentally I had a claim with our heroes - no CCA etc - I eventually got them struck out for not providing a copy of the original T & C's

 

Can you post a copy of your defence - for me to have a look at

 

Is the claim for more than £5k - if it is you MUST MUST allocate to the Fast track...

 

Have you sent the AQ off

 

Can you also post copies of all the docs that you have and I'll see what I can suggest

 

The way to deal with TR and Co is by being very aggressive and taking control of the litigation. The objective is to make them either discontinue or get them struck out

If I've helped feel free to add to my reputation.

Hi IGNM - I have been following Panks thread and you did a stirling job, hope some of your good advice will help me as much.

 

The claim was for approx £4800 so it looks like its heading down the small tracks claim.

 

The AQ Was submitted last Friday.

 

Got another letter from turnbulls, enclosing a copy of their AQ..interesting in section G.

 

They state claim was incorrectly issued online in the name of HFO Services Limited, but they are only agents of HFO Capitol Limited. They are requesting leave to apply for a substitution of names.

 

Whats that all about then?

 

IGNM - Whats the best way to post the documents online? I know HFO sometimes trawl this board, maybe I am being para but I dont want to be revealing anything to them.

I remember something about HFO Capital not being registered in the UK and therefore unable to serve claims in UK...I am not sure where i read it but it might be another avenue worth researching....

Its been a while since I last posted on here due to a change in employment and home but to keep it brief for now, this case went all the way to a court hearing where it was dismissed.

 

I will post back with more details with what happened after I last posted before, it went back and forth for a while and it was looking very scary at one point but a lesson for anyone who is currently experiencing the same situation.

 

Hang on in there, be persistant and stand your ground - they will be made to look like the idiots that they are when the day of reckoning comes.

 

Thanks to Pank, HavinAStella, ODC, 42Man and numerous other posters for all the great help given in this and so many other threads on this board. very much appreciated.

 

I am feeling a bit more emboldened by this little victory, Can I now countersue after a case has been dismissed? It was dismissed on 11th Sept 2009.

 

p.s How do i change the original subject title of this thread to state the case has been won?

Great news Dinny - and well done. Look forward to hearing the full story.

 

To change the title just alert a mod - I've done it for you.

 

Also, have a look at this thread - I've raised a few points near the end of this thread which were similar to your case.

Maybe HFO/TR hace sharpened up their act recently looking at some of the more newer cases but in my dads case, their efforts although admirable were so shambolic it didnt really get too far in court!

 

Working on a summary now...come back soon for the gory details!!
