    • This must be part of the new tactic from Evri.  They know they are going to lose. They take it to the wire and then don't bother to turn up in order to save themselves costs and of course they don't give a damn about the cost to the British taxpayer and the extra court delays they cause. This is a nasty dishonest company – but rather in line with all of the parcel delivery industry which knows that their insurance requirements are unlawful. They know that their prohibited items are for the most part unfair terms. They know for the most part that a "safe place" is exactly what it means – are not left on somebody's doorstep in full view. They know that obtaining a signature means that they have to show the signature not simply claim that they received a signature. They are making huge profits especially from their unlawful and unenforceable insurance requirement. Although this is less valuable than the PPI scandal, in terms of the number of people who are affected nationwide, PPI pales into insignificance. I hope the paralegals working for Evri are proud of themselves and they tell their families what they have done during the day when they go home.
    • Your PCN does not comply with the Protection of freedoms Act 2012 Schedule 4 Section 9[2][a] (a)specify the vehicle, the relevant land on which it was parked and the period of parking to which the notice relates; The only time on the PCN is 17.14. That is only  a time for there to be a period there would have to be a start and and end time mentioned. of course they do show the ANPR arrival and departures  times but that is not the parking period and their times are on the photographs not on the PCN. They also failed to comply with S.9[2][f] as they omitted to say that they could only pursue the keeper if they complied with the Act. That means that they can only pursue the driver as the keeper cannot be held liable for the charge. As they do not know who was driving and Courts do not accept that the driver and the keeper are the same person they will struggle to win. Especially as so many people are able to legally drive your car and you haven't appealed giving them no indication therefore of who was driving. Small nitpicking point-the date of Infringement was 22/04/2024. They appear to be saying that they can charge an extra amount [up to £70 ] if they have to use a debt collector. You do not have a contract with a debt collector so they cannot add that cost. You paid for four hours so it can only be the 15 minutes they are complaining about. You are entitled to a ten minute minimum grace period at the end of the parking period which would be easier to explain if the car park had been bigger. However if you allow for two minutes to park and two minutes to leave that gives you one minute to account for. Things like being held on the way out by cars in front waiting to get on to Northgate or even your own car being held up trying to get on to Northgate at a busy time. then other considerations like having to stop to allow pedestrians to walk in front of you or being held up by another car doing a u turn in front of your car. you would have to check with the driver and see if they could account for an extra one minute things like a disabled passenger or having to strap in a child . I am not advocating lying since that could lead to serious problems [like jail time] but there can be an awful lot of minor things that can cause a hold up of a minute even the engine not starting straight away or another car being badly parked as examples. Sadly you cannot include the 5 minute Consideration period as both IPC and BPA fail to comply with the convention that you can include that time with the Grace period.

    • Hi all, I wanted to update you and thank you all for your help. I am delighted announce that after the case was struck out due to no response from Evri, judgement was issued after I submitted the forms and I was just about to take it to warrant.  today I received an email from the claims department requesting my bank details to make payment for my full award. The process has been long since the initial proceedings  in January i must say your help and guidance has been greatly appreciated.

    • 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 not going to discuss any fees on here or anywhere else. I do not own the firm, i work for someone. I'm not charging, the firm is, nor am i collecting money. I do not set rates the local council give guidelines as to what they think is reasonable and the firms rates are not exceeding this.

You probably dont look for bad parking but if you did you would notice it is rife wherever you go. Council parking wardens can ticket you for a wheel on a line or out the box, i dont make the rules, i'm just here to enforce.

If at the end of the day my boss thinks i'm harsh then he can override, but every clamp gets backed up with photographic evidence, time and date stamped. Lets be straight here, if i saw a clamping in progress sign when i parked somewhere i'd make sure i read it and abided by what it said, saves a lot of problems does it not? and it's not rocket science to understand a wheel clamp sign even if you cant read, thats why symbols are displayed. They even make them in brail for blind people.

why do blind peeps need to read clamping signs? Blind drivers I suppose?

 

Enforcement?

 

so you want to keep spaces open for the needy and prevent dodgy parking?

 

Clamping someone so they cant move to free up a space or tidy up the car park is really helpful.:cool:

You're still avoiding the question as to how you can justify clamping for problems like being in a private car park in a bay marked for disabled or not parked correctly between 2 white lines, when clamping is only a remedy for trespass.

I stated that blue badge abuse was 1 of the reasons, my main gripe being unable to get in or out of bays due to people parking so close and occupying 2 bays because they cannot be bothered to take the time and park straight in 1. It doesn't take long to straighten a motor, if i can do it, whats the problem??/ laziness or inconsideration for others i think. I dont get road rage but this gives me parking rage.

 

Surely if a space is too tight to get in, you'll just find another one, unless you are parking in places with only 3 spots!

What has the council got to do with clamping on private property? If you won't discuss fees then there must only be one reason for that.

You come on here saying clampers are given bad press and then you tell us sod all to make us think otherwise.

 

You probably dont look for bad parking but if you did you would notice it is rife wherever you go.

 

Surely 'bad' parking is bad because it impedes on others? It doesn't sound much of an impediment if I have to go hunting for it.

 

 

Council parking wardens can ticket you for a wheel on a line or out the box, i dont make the rules, i'm just here to enforce.

 

Councils have rules, are regulated and there is an appeals process. You don't operate under any rules (or I am lead to believe because you won't demonstrate otherwise).

 

If at the end of the day my boss thinks i'm harsh then he can override,

 

That's mighty good of him. Like that ever happens.

If he's that considerate, you won't be in this job for long.

If it is a wind up then I think it is a credit to the CAG members that strength of feeling is so great - it gives one hope that if targeted in the correct manner we can win against ppc [problematic] and their bunch of merry men. It's nice to be amongst a group of individuals who are prepared to stand by what is right.

 

If any clampers are reading this, be warned if you clamp my vehicle I will remove it and make you wear it for a hat and thats a promise.

 

For timmyfishfinger13 whoever you are, I hope your job makes you happy and wish you the best of luck in having to wrestle your partner out of your car when all those nasty awkward parkers attack - have you ever wondered that people might just be doing it to wind you up.

If i was to clamp willy nilly and receive a lot of complaints, the sia could remove my badge. So saying it is not regulated is a false impression youve got from somewhere. All clamped vehicles have photographic proof backing the decision, before after and showing the signage. Receipts are given stating time, place, CLAMPERS BADGE NUMBER, and on the receipt are contact details of the firm should you wish to appeal. These are guidelines set by the sia and bpa. As for what has the council got to do with private parking, the fees they charge for tickets and clamping are what private firms should make their fees similar to. Extortionate fees can be contested, but if they are similar to the local council then they are acceptable according to the courts.

I didnt say they are setting fees for private clampers, council sets fees for their own car parks, the private firms, so as to no appear robbing, use their prices as a guide. They dont have to but a significant extra cost could be seen as extortion and could be challenged.

the whole thing of PRIVATE CLAMPING is extortion, its just the fact they use loopholes in england and wales to get away with it, BUT not for much longer, nor will the PPC's either their time is short,

 

none of these costs actually reflect the true loss caused

what about the costs and inconvenience caused to the small companies/ pubs etc that have people parking on their private land and going elsewhere? where do the real patrons park then? if your car breaks down and you have no breakdown cover if you called a recovery firm it costs you loads, do you argue about the price as not being a true cost??? what is the true cost? ....ist a business like any other with overheads, vehicle expenses, operator fees, licence costs etc....£110 for a drain man to unblock my toilet last week for 10 minutes work, is that a true cost??? no probably not but the work was done and i had to pay, who regulates their prices???? was he licenced???

stop trying to blame others for the clamping [problem], its seems you want us to belive your justified in doing such a sick job , you might convince yourself , but you wont convince anyone on here with your reasons

 

plumbing , breakdown services etc, are legit services all be it what they charge may come into question sometimes, clamping and PP's are just vultures praying on loop holes in the law and the public's ignorance of their legal rights,

 

you have a job and its better than being on the dole, for that yes well done, but to say you did because of Blue Badge abuse ( no such thing on Private Land ) or peoples bad parking habits is very lame excuses to justify such a bottom feeder Job,

My local pub used to clamp and charge a small donation to cancer research for release.

 

Unfortunately all the illegal and immoral clamping that went on meant they had to introduce the toothless Private Securities Industry Act which has probably outlawed that landlord's activity, and means that you have to be immoral and illegal to conduct a successful (ie. money making) clamping operation.

We all have our opions, this is mine, fine if you dont agree with it. my point for the thread is that sometimes there is a need for a service which causes offence and people money, and whilst many may not agree with it the fact remains that some people ASK for this service.

If any of you smart people can come up with another way of enforcement that is not a disgusting job as was put earlier then fine, put it on the table, but i doubt you can or will, and more than likely that will get blown out the water and reduced to a disgusting job as well.

Thanks for all the comments, glad for the insite.

The moral of this thread is that you are never more than a moment away from an awkward parker lol. How sad Henry Ford would be to see that the beautiful motor vehicle can been reduced to a pawn in a battle between decent motorists and silly little men who put yellow triangles on your car. At the end of the day timmyfishfinger13 your view of wheel clamping is flawed. Also, beware I will be coming to a supermarket near you ready to park as awkwardly as I can next to you and your partner - did I mention I drive a Hummer H2 - that would eat your clamps for breakfast lol.

i'm still waiting for a solution, or cant you give one???

obviously none of you park illegaly on private ground...you are to be congratulated!!

And whats with the attitude of " i'll park as awkwardly as i can next to you and your disabled partner"??????

I would just like to shop with my partner and be able to get in or out of my vehicle by using the space provided. whats the problem with that??

Do i have to put bloody spikes all over my car to enable me to do this??

I'm asking for consideration, obviously not something you lot worry about.

so again....has anyone a better solution??? 2ND TIME.

i'm still waiting for a solution, The solution is for your trade to be regulated and for people in your trade to obey the regulations not decide that a fine of £200 to be payed if someone transgresses, or for a subsequnt fine of £400 to be applied if the car is illegally towed by said corrupt firm or cant you give one??? Yes i can everybody who drives should obey the rules of the road, however if people park on private land then it is down to the owner to ensure that the area is either A. cordoned off to stop this and only allow permit holders access or b. accept that there will be times when people use the land because it is there

obviously none of you park illegaly on private ground...you are to be congratulated!! - nope never done it, never had the need

 

And whats with the attitude of " i'll park as awkwardly as i can next to you and your disabled partner"?????? - I think you will find that that is a tongue in cheek comment to counteract your ridiculas notion that you are in this game simply to stop people parking in a manner that doesnt comply with your idealistic view of the world

I would just like to shop with my partner and be able to get in or out of my vehicle by using the space provided. whats the problem with that?? - no problem, we all would like it, but considering that most car parks were designed in the mid 70s and that since then cars have become considerably bigger it is then obvious that this will happen, so blame the car manufacturers

Do i have to put bloody spikes all over my car to enable me to do this??

I'm asking for consideration, obviously not something you lot worry about.

so again....has anyone a better solution??? 2ND TIME.

 

apart from the above, half of your points arguaments are all hot air and have no basis.

 

If you want to be a Clamper feel free, but please dont come on here and try to be holier than thou by using lame arguaments about peoples parking habits.

It will give you a taste of your own medicine; clampers, cause inconvenience and upset to thousands of often very vulnerable members of the community - you should know what that is like in my opinion. The only thing is that I would not actually do that because I would never sink to the level of a wheel clamper.

 

P.S. If we tell you our solution you will just take it for yourself and make even more money - were not stupid enough to pay mickey mouse parking tickets, we are hardly about to give away our highly developed solution to parking - we've code named it CAG1.

 

Spikes are a good idea - gives me something else to angle grind :D
