      PCN in Rochdale on a road. Wrong location and offence on PCN

      By CrazeUK · Posted

      Hi. Many thanks for your response. You are correct it is Royal Barn Road that is stated on the PCN.  Where i was was Royle Road. I originally came from the Tesco side, was initially parked across the road where there are parking bays, then moved over to side where the double yellows are.  I did check the entire street from Tescos on, and there are no signs for restrictions at all. Also, the friend who owns the house asked the building company sales office today, who also believe the double yellows are old (some of them turn into peoples drives), and said there should be none.  - Obviously if the council have them as current thats besides the point. SO the big question is, given the PCN states very incorrect information, Location, and type of contravention, can it be challenged? Thanks

      UKPC ANPR PCN PAPLOC Now Claimform - vehicle on site during restricted no parking period - Rom Valley Retail Park, Romford, RM7 0AF

      By wv600 · Posted

      Please see below for the Witness Statement from UKPC received in the post on Friday, 3 May.  The letter is dated 1 May 2024. I am also including Exhibits 1, 2 and 3.   The remaining exhibits relate to the PCN's and other correspondence already posted on this thread.   The most glaring mistake for me is in Exhibit 2 (UKPC's OWN copy of their signage), NOT SHOWING that parking is not allowed between 22:00 and 08:00.  Note that this restriction IS showing on the draft sign approved in the contract between UKPC and their client.   Also, the site plan in Exhibit 1 shows signs against the wall of the building (depicted by a "W"); whereas the picture in my witness statement clearly shows no signs visible on that particular wall.   I look forward to hearing everyone's feedback on this!

      Should we trust Sunak or the next PM to fix the Country's problems? (title revised 24/10/22)

      By honeybee13 · Posted

      Street did his best by removing any trace of the Tories from his campaign literature, as you say it's a shame for him. I see Sunak is clutching at the only poll that shows the Tories in not too bad a light, the hung Parliament one. The boss of Ipsos and Sir John Curtice have both said it's flawed. 'Sir John Curtice, the polling expert, also projected the Conservatives nine points behind in the national vote share but advised against using this ­data to estimate Westminster seats. He told BBC Radio 4’s Today ­programme: “It’s quite long been the case, certainly since the late 1980s, that the way that people vote in local elections doesn’t necessarily exactly mirror the way that they would vote in a general election.” '

    • Big Motoring World Enfield /Blackhorse - done over on car - @BigMotoringWrld

      ATJ posted a topic in Vehicle retailers and manufacturers,

      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

    • Post in Suing a parcel delivery company when you don't have a direct contract with them – third-party rights Copy of judgment available

      BankFodder posted a post in a topic,

      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 sent my partner to post the letter to Amex because we were running out of time. He tells me that he put the two postal orders (for £1 and £10) inside the envelope but didn't sign them. Does that matter?

Regards

Liz

Most important thing is, did he keep the counterfoil so you can trace when they are cashed if necessary?

Hi,

 

There should not be a problem with the CCA as they do not require a signature, the Subject Access Request is a different matter and they can insist on a signature.

Any advice I give is honest and in good faith.:)

If in doubt, you should seek the opinion of a Qualified Professional.

Hi

 

I think he put the whole thing in, but he came back with two receipts from the Post Office and a receipt for the recorded delivery letter to Amex. The receipts for both postal orders are very clear and have the date, time of purchase, plus the amount, who it was made out to, and the specific number of the postal order, so on reflection I think I'm covered.

Thanks,

Liz.

Think Liz is referring to signatures on the POs not the letter, marondevo.

Hi

Indeed. I printed out my name on the letter to Amex and put two big crosses through it in biro. Perhaps I should have put lots of little crosses through it. Never do anything in a hurry!

Hi all,

 

The County Court clerk swore my affidavit (3 copies plus 3 copies of all enclosures) and said he didn't think there would be a problem about it being out of time. (I included a letter to the Judge with my reasons for being out of time.)

 

Will keep you posted.

 

Best wishes

Liz

Hi

 

I have been reading a thread "American Express and Newman DCA, help needed", and a reply by Banker Rhymes With on 5th December 08.

 

"Hello Debbage!

 

Great, so they've issued an invalid Default Notice asking for £187.00 in Arrears, and then they've confirmed the Agreement is Terminated.

 

Excellent.

 

At most, you now owe them £187.00!

 

The Default Notice does not allow you the Statutory 14 Clear Days.

 

It is dated 08/10/2008, and they say you have 14 Calendar Days from the Date of this Notice. They have therefore stated that your Deadline is 22/10/2008, that being 14 Calendar Days from 08/10/2008.

 

They have not allowed for Postage.

 

The Legal Date of Service, assuming they Posted the Default Notice on Wednesday 08/10/2008 via 1st Class Post, would be two Working Days thereafter, making the Data of Service Friday 10/10/2008.

 

The Statutory Deadline based on 10/10/2008 would be 24/10/2008...that being two Days later than the Deadline of 22/10/2008 Amex were trying to impose unlawfully.

 

On 27/10/2008, they then dropped you a line to say the Agreement was Cancelled (Terminated, same difference). But then they go on to say the Full Balance is now Payable, because by then they are clearly deluded in assuming they are entitled to the benefits of s87.

 

Main problem for them is they are not now entitled to the benefits of s87, because they have Terminated the Agreement without a valid Default Notice. Without a valid and lawful Default Notice, they do not become entitled to enjoy s87.

 

How very silly of them.

 

They've blown any prospect of being able to ask for early Payment of what was, until Termination, only Payable in the future, i.e. the main Balance.

 

They cannot now go back in time to issue a new Default Notice, because they themselves elected to Terminate the Agreement on 27/10/2008.

 

They cannot now re-activate the Agreement unilaterally (i.e. without your Consent). They'd need your Consent to do so, and I doubt you will be keen to agree, if all it will achieve is to let them fix their Default Notice mistake!

 

I'm not sure what they are thinking about adding a further default Charge on 31/10/2008, because the Agreement ended on 27/10/2008.

 

Finally, you now need to have a good look at the £187.00 of Arrears they say you owe, to see if they levied any Charges before that sum was requested. It may not be a lot, but it could knock of £12 from that Balance.

 

As always, get a 2nd and 3rd opinion from other Caggers before doing anything, but the above is how I think things have panned out.

 

Amex will get hostile, they always do, but you should now have a robust defence against any demand for Payment of a sum that is greater than £187.00.

 

Cheers,

BRW"

 

Debbage posted her default notice and cancellation of agreement letter. I have exactly the same default notice (even on the same date) and stating, "£422.00 must be received within fourteen calendar days from the date of this notice".

 

The cancellation letter is dated 14th November 08. I can try to post these up (minus personal details) if it would help to look at them. (Not sure of how.) Amex are saying I owe them circa £18,000.

 

I found out today that the Judge wants my Set Aside hearing listed.

 

Regards

Liz

Liz, yes all info will help.

 

BRW is spot on with his advice.

 

Scan the Default Notice, mask your personal details and post it on Photobucket and you will get some links under your "picture" that you just copy and paste in to where you type your messages.

 

We will then be able to see the image you have posted up to photobucket. Your photobucket username will be visible doing it like this, so don't use your real name as your username on photobucket.

Hi

 

I found out today that the Judge wants my Set Aside hearing listed.

 

 

This sounds promising - let's hope you receive (or don't!) at least your CCA before the date of hearing, but don't worry if you don't, you can ask the court to get Amex to comply.

 

 

Hi Alphageek

 

I will post the docs. I have just realised. I paid Amex £500 (to Newmans) in early 2009 so they might owe me money.

 

 

They may well do! :D Post your docs as soon as you can, including the CCA when you get them so CAGers can help with your set aside hearing statement.

14th November was a Friday. They have to allow two working days (1st Class post) for you to receive DN. That means that you would have received it on Tuesday 18th November, your 14 days start from 19th November, so the date for breach to be rectified would be 3rd December. They gave you until 28th November, therefor, DN is invalid.

Hi everyone,

 

I realised that when writing out the address on the envelope to these creditors they could lift individual letters, so I write the address in red pen and press lightly, which doesn't scan very well, and in a different way to my usual handwriting.

 

I also now take a scan of my letter after I've signed it.

 

I checked over my SD. The solicitor who signed it (she was only admitted to the bar last year) didn't cross out a sentence she should have, so she's claiming that Amex are a "Minister of the Crown (Cabinet Minister) or a Government Department", and nothing was attached to the SD - no copy of the CCA.

 

Regards

Liz
