    • Hi, we are looking to get some opinions on weather or not to bother fighting this PCN. This comes from a very big retail park parking where there are restaurants, hotel, amongst other businesses. The parking is free but I suppose there must be a time limit on it that I am not aware of. We were in the area for around 4 hours. Makes us wonder how they deal with people staying in the hotel as the ANPR is on what appears to be a publicly maintained street (where london buses run) which leads to the different parking areas including the hotel.  1 Date of the infringement 26/05/2024 2 Date on the NTK  31/05/2024 3 Date received 07/06/2024 4 Does the NTK mention schedule 4 of The Protections of Freedoms Act 2012? [Y/N?]  YES 5 Is there any photographic evidence of the event? Entry and exit photos however, based on the photographs we are almost sure the photos are taken on public street. This is the location I believe photos are taken from.  https://maps.app.goo.gl/eii8zSmFFhVZDRpbA 6 Have you appealed? [Y/N?] post up your appeal] No Have you had a response? [Y/N?] post it up N/A 7 Who is the parking company? UKPA. UK Parking Administration LTD 8. Where exactly [carpark name and town] The Colonnades, Croydon, CR0 4RQ For either option, does it say which appeals body they operate under. British Parking Association (BPA) Thanks in advance for any assistance.  UKPA PCN The Collonades-redacted.pdf
    • Thank you for posting their WS. If we start with the actual WS made by the director one would have doubts that they had even read PoFA let alone understood it. Point 10  we only have the word of the director that the contract has been extended. I should have had the corroboration of the Client. Point 12 The Judge HHJ Simkiss was not the usual Judge on motoring cases and his decisions on the necessity of contracts did not align with PoFA. In Schedule 4 [1[ it is quite clearly spelt out- “relevant contract” means a contract (including a contract arising only when the vehicle was parked on the relevant land) between the driver and a person who is—(a)the owner or occupier of the land; or (b authorised, under or  by virtue of arrangements made by the owner or occupier of the land, to enter into a contract with the driver requiring the payment of parking charges in respect of the parking of the vehicle on the land; And the laughable piece of paper from the land owners cannot be described as a contract. I respectfully ask that the case be dismissed as there is no contract. WE do not even know what the parking regulations are which is really basic. It is respectfully asked that without a valid contract the case cannot continue. One would imagine that were there a valid contract it would have been produced.  So the contract that Bank has with the motorist must come from the landowner. Bank on their own cannot impose their own contract. How could a director of a parking company sign a Statement of Truth which included Point 11. Point 14. There is no offer of a contract at the entrance to the car park. Doubtful if it is even an offer to treat. The entrance sign sign does not comply with the IPC Code of Conduct nor is there any indication that ANPR cameras are in force. A major fault and breach of GDPR. Despite the lack of being offered a contract at the entrance [and how anyone could see what was offered by way of a contract in the car park is impossible owing to none of the signs in the WS being at all legible] payment was made for the car to park. A young person in the car made the payment. But before they did that, they helped an elderly lady to make her payment as she was having difficulty. After arranging payment for the lady the young lad made his payment right behind. Unfortunately he entered the old lady's number again rather than paying .for the car he was in. This can be confirmed by looking at the Allow List print out on page 25. The defendant's car arrived at 12.49 and at 12.51 and 12.52  there are two payments for the same vrm. This was also remarked on by the IPC adjudicator when the PCN was appealed.  So it is quite disgraceful that Bank have continued to pursue the Defendant knowing that it was a question of  entering the wrong vrm.  Point 21 The Defendant is not obliged to name the driver, they are only invited to do so under S9[2][e]. Also it is unreasonable to assume that the keeper is the driver. The Courts do not do that for good reason. The keeper in this case does not have a driving licence. Point 22. The Defendant DID make a further appeal which though it was also turned down their reply was very telling and should have led to the charge being dropped were the company not greedy and willing to pursue the Defendant regardless of the evidence they had in their own hands. Point 23 [111] it's a bit rich asking the Defendant to act justly and at proportionate cost while acting completely unjustly themselves and then adding an unlawful 70% on to the invoice. This  is despite PoFA S4[5] (5)The maximum sum which may be recovered from the keeper by virtue of the right conferred by this paragraph is the amount specified in the notice to keeper under paragraph 9[2][d].  Point 23 [1v] the Director can deny all he wants but the PCN does not comply with PoFA. S9 [2][a] states  (2)The notice must— (a)specify the vehicle, the relevant land on which it was parked and the period of parking to which the notice relates; The PCN only quotes the ANPR arrival and departure times which obviously includes a fair amount of driving between the two cameras. Plus the driver and passengers are a mixture of disabled and aged persons who require more time than just a young fit single driver to exit the car and later re enter. So the ANPR times cannot be the same as the required parking period as stipulated in the ACT. Moreover in S9[2][f]  (ii)the creditor does not know both the name of the driver and a current address for service for the driver, the creditor will (if all the applicable conditions under this Schedule are met) have the right to recover from the keeper so much of that amount as remains unpaid; You will note that in the PCN the words in parentheses are not included but at the start of Section 9 the word "must" is included. As there are two faults in the PCN it follows that Bank cannot pursue the keeper . And as the driver does not have a driving licence their case must fail on that alone. And that is not even taking into consideration that the payment was made. Point 23 [v] your company is wrong a payment was made. very difficult to prove a cash payment two weeks later when the PCN arrives. However the evidence was in your print out for anyone to see had they actually done due diligence prior to writing to the DVLA. Indeed as the Defendant had paid there was no reasonable cause to have applied for the keeper details. Point 24 the Defendant did not breach the contract. The PCN claimed the Defendant failed to make a payment when they had made a payment.   I haven't finished yet but that is something to start with
    • You don't appeal to anyone. You haven't' received a demand from a statutory body like the council, the police or the courts. It's just a dodgy cowboy company trying it on. You simply don't pay.  In the vast majority of these cases the company deforest the Amazon with threats about how they are going to divert a drone from Ukraine and make it land on your home - but in the end they do nothing.
    • honestly you sound like you work the claimant yes affixed dont appeal to anyone no cant be “argued either way”  
    • Because of the tsunami of cases we are having for this scam site, over the weekend I had a look at MET cases we have here stretching back to June 2014.  Yes, ten years. MET have not once had the guts to put a case in front of a judge. In about 5% of cases they have issued court papers in the hope that the motorist will be terrified of going to court and will give in.  However, when the motorist defended, it was MET who bottled it.  Every time.

    • 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.

My toy parrot swears - a brother won him at a fair and the man said he had to disable the speech due to complaints, another brother enabled them, and the parrot is rather rude!

 

What made me smile is my (new to me ) Dell laptop arriving well before 10am, just getting everything loaded onto the nice clear desktop - I promise I won't drop it or clutter up the desktop unnecessarily!

 

My old Samsung had a broken screen, keyboard and graphics card.... so it was cheaper to get this Dell than repair the Samsung. Brother who got parrot to talk is coming this weekend to get my data off the old hard drive. Some I won't need but quite a bit I will.

 

I also had an MRI scan on my dodgy neck/hand problems and going back on 13th (not a Friday...) for the results.

Hi Sillygirl,

 

The parrot swearing is funny. I will admit that I told Apple Siri to F off to see what happens, and it asked if it had done something wrong!

 

Hoe your results are okay on the 13th.

Now trying to get my old laptop to 'talk' to my new laptop via the network! Got a Dell with a fancy lid for £160 from a refurb site, along with a brand new battery! I didn't need an 'all singing all dancing' laptop as I now nearly always download via my Kindle Fire (very fast) and this laptop has everything else I need. Got a very nice sound too when I play my talking books (usually have them on when housecleaning). Connected up to the home network first time and even got to print on my stroppy printer first time!

 

I even have HDMI on the laptop which I didn't have on the old one.

A clip on youtube entitled "Worst ever attempt at parallel parking". Well worth a watch.

Before you criticise another man you should first walk a mile in his shoes. Then, when you criticise him, you'll be a mile away and he won't have any shoes on.

 

Don't get me confused with somebody knowledgeable by all those green blobs. I got most of them by making people laugh.

Selling some blinds! I bought Timberlux blinds for all over my house, and they sent me two extra of my living room size, because they're bespoke they wouldn't accept them back as they said they'd have difficulty selling them, so they told me to "dispose of them"! Huh? They were £240 each, although I never paid for the spares! Anyway, I sold them! Someone got a bargain, and I got some money to buy some more fruit trees for my garden lol! Happy days!

@duckwaddler: nice! APple pies for all then! :D lol

 

At the moment it's gonna be sweet cheery and I've just ordered a Victoria plum, apparently you get roughly 100lbs of fruit per year, so I'm gonna be going mad with the plum jam and chinese plum sauce :lol:

 

What made me smile today was sitting in our kitchen having lunch with the door open, and one of the blackbirds that's nesting in our Lalandrii spying on us :lol: He was hilarious, and he kept shooting up to next doors roof, then dropping back down into the trees like a parachuter!

 

They're delighted because we had them all chopped and shaped back, it must feel like they've had a home makeover :-)

 

P.S. I will try get a short video of him next time and post it up!

An airline that cancelled my flight are giving me the thick end of £200 compensation, and I'm giving it to charity in lieu of the money they lost because I couldn't run the book stall for them the next day!

Yes they are, and you're probably right! Although I'm still missing our old friend, the one who used to mimic the neighbours car alarm :-( He was super cheeky, and was visiting us for years!

DD, thank you so much for posting this up! I am going to donate my old phone! I wonder if they would help my Godson too, he has leukemia, and misses out on a lot such as nursery because he's neutropenic a lot of the time, so has to be kept isolated in case he catches an infection!

He's doing okay Nystagmite, thank you for asking! It's just he misses out on a lot of nursery because of his immune system getting so low, he becomes neutropenic, which is even harder because he's a twin, and she can quite happily go off to nursery!

 

He's been on the treatment now for 18mths, and hasn't had one single infection in his hickman line, or his "wiggly" as he calls it :lol: I don't know how my friend does it, she has five other children and is on her own - their Dad walked out on her just before he was diagnosed, he'd come into some money, so wanted to live the single life! And she's had no support from him whatsoever!

 

And yes DD, I will definitely mention it to them!! I hope this little fella gets his IPad!

Your poor friend. I hope she is getting some money from him even if he's not giving her emotional support.

 

Even if he has walked out he should still be supporting his children with the money he's come into. What a b*****.

 

She's not had a penny from him! And he got rather a large sum of money, we're talking tens of thousands - he's bought a house with his Mum, but doesn't have his name on the deeds, because he's claiming benefits, also he works on the side at the family business!

 

The CSA ordered him to pay £5 per week between three (her eldest three are to her first Husband) because he's on benefits, and he doesn't even give her that! But you know how slow the CSA are for putting other means of getting it paid in motion!

 

They're beautiful children too, he won't realise what he's missed out on till it's too late!
