    • 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. The Particulars of Claim is denied in its entirety. It is denied that the Claimant is entitled to the relief claimed or any relief at all. Signed I am the Defendant - I believe that the facts stated in this form are true XXXXXXXXXXX 01/05/2024   Defendant's date of birth XXXXXXXXXX   Address to which notices about this claim can be sent to you

    • 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.

Mentioned a while back that we're getting a dog. We're not now. :( We looked at another dog and one of ours seems to be too over protective of our other dog.

 

Pity really, because the dog we saw today and Monday (she had surgery on Tuesday; so couldn't take ours too and one of ours has a poorly tummy) is lovely.

 

(only in here because I'd first mentioned the dog stuff in here - not happy about this at all)

Just to add, I learnt this trait from a CBT professional (cognitive behavioural therapist). Every day write down someting good in life, or something you're thankful for... read over it every TIME (from cover to cover) and things will kick in :)

I was smiling yesterday because my daughter returned from a school activity holiday in one piece. When you are young you have absolutely no idea of danger or the things than can go wrong even in the safest of circumstances, especially when you are 50' in the air :!: and I know coach travel is supposed to be safe, so why are the crashes so awful?

 

Every time they updated the blog it was a relief to see that she was either there and smiling - or that the air ambulance or some paramedics couldn't be seen in the background!

 

So giving her a welcome hug had me grinning for the rest of the day. :-D

 

And, adridude I really appreciated your list of things to smile about too. :-)

I smiled when I got to the reduced section at tesco just as everything had been reduced by about 75%. The freezer is fuller than it's been in a while now. :-)

 

Also just chatted on fb to a friend who recently had a baby. She had a tough time but improving now.

 

Great attitude adridude. Your post made me smile too. :-)

@caro: the timing for reductions is as follows (for trseco and sainsburys)

 

Tesco:

1500: 25% off

1700: 50% off

1900: 75% off

 

Sainsburys:

1500: 20% off

1900: 25% off

2000 90% off

 

:) Its weird tho how usually the unhealthy food n(pizzas etc...) get priced down and the healthy options don't!

Years ago the Sainsbury's at Cobham didn't open on Sundays and a friend of mine went there at about 7 pm on Saturdays and stocked their freezer with joints of wonderful meat which they were almost giving away. Sadly they are now open seven days a week!

 

I didn't realize they had set times for reductions, but I'm not usually shopping that late due to homework and bedtime. :-(

 

The best bargain I had last year was 12lbs of cherry tomatoes for £1.50 just before Christmas from the market - it was pouring with rain and most of the stalls had shut early. They were absolutely delicious too, and were fine for three weeks in the fridge before the remaining ones needed freezing.

Thanks adridude.

 

I find Saturday and Sunday are good days for reductions at tesco as they close at 10 pm on Saturday and only open 10 till 4 on a Sunday so not long to sell things with a Sunday sell by date.

 

I find really good meat reduced at sainsburys. Quite often its the more expensive stuff that's left over. Got 2 big fresh turkey crowns just before Xmas for under a fiver each instead of about £25.

 

We've only just got a morrisons SG but I have been to other stores and got reduced items there too so probably worth trying. Sometimes you can find nothing worth having bit others you can get lots if you have a freezer with space in it or can use fairly quickly.

Glad your dog is better, Bobcat. :-)

 

What just made me laugh is my elderly cat suddenly miaowing to go into the garden. I opened the door and she went charging down the garden at the two pigeons on the bird table. I hadn't realized she'd been watching them. She's in her late teens so I'm pleased to see she is still watching and interested in what's going on. Needless to say, she wouldn't have a hope of catching a pigeon. :-) They usually just ignore the cats. :-)
