    • 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. Apparently there is a max 3 hours limit which we were not aware of. This means taking kids to softplay and then having a meal on one of the restaurants will more than likely take you over the limit. Makes us wonder how they deal with people staying in the hotel as the ANPR seems to be in public street that 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.

As Restons have failed to comply with the order, this will only irritate the Judge.............it's his orders Restons have chosen to disobey.

 

I'm sure you'll remind the Judge of this if Restons elect to continue to trial ;)

 

As I've said earlier, sit tight and wait to see what Restons throw at you next, but I'm sure you've read of their tricks already.

Surely they have to complete an AQ for it to proceed though as there's a fee payable?

 

 

Absolutely;)

Will this not wind the judge up? I've already had one SO application fail.

 

We're due to exchange witness evidence and statements this week- have no idea how to do that either, so I might need a bit of support this week..

 

Thanks.

Just to add for the sake of clarity.. I'm not sure I actually had to do my AQ, as my SO application would have interrupted the normal process- and this may be why they didn't follow normal protocol

Applications are normally (or should be) submitted with ones AQ.However in the instance of the Claimant failing to submit their AQ (on time and pay the Fee) It regarded as a strike out offense and an abuse of court procedure.

I don't suppose you'd have any appropriate wording for the application ;)

 

As far as the other stuff I have to do this week is concernd, can I pretty much use the response to their SJ application that everyone helped me with earlier on the thread?

Ok, here's my ws.. http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/legal-issues/199150-sb100-hfc-default-compliant-11.html#post2484311

 

My application failed, but Restons tried to throw in an SJ application to co-incide, which the judge denied due to extremely short notice (about 5 days). The Judge warned them that there were 'issues' with their DN and offered them the opportunity to apply again for SJ, but it had to be by the end of last month. They appear to have declined his offer.

 

Here's a copy of the order (only received last week but now about six weeks old)

I haven't received anything from the other side regarding disclosure etc.

I don't have their witness statement for their SJ application with me, sorry- can post it when I get home though.

 

It was basically the usual 'no prospect of winning', a copy of the alleged agreement, a copy of the t&c's that allegedly appeared on the other side, a witness statement from a solicitor at Restons stating that 'in his opinion the prescribed terms would have been on the reverse' and a witness statement from another HFC employee stating that the DN would have been sent first class- which I can immediately disprove as I have the UK Mail envelope.

 

Thanks Andy

I haven't heard anything from them since the hearing other than a letter asking that I consider settling the account. I didn't send anything for disclosure either as, stupidly, I thought it was by the end of November and I didn't get the order from the court til last week.

Oh well you can use that in your WS also.Would appear to be a bit of a shambles SB if you dont mind me saying that.They want SJ with no effort. no AQ. no fee. no disclosure.I would be tempted to strike out as a total nonsense and and a vexatious claim.

Post up their WS this evening and I will give you some guidance on how to trash it;)

Ok, here's their skeleton argument for their strike out application. I don't appear to have the copy of the statement from their employee that said it was sent first class, although this SA does refer to it.

Simply rebutting your defence isn't sufficient - they haven't stated on what grounds each reason of your defence should fail.

 

This amounts to a he-said, so we-said, situation, which the Court just can't accept.

 

They are hoping to win the "Judge Lottery" with that conclusion, effectively saying the Court should ignore all the rules of the Court, the legislation and the rules of evidence "because you've borrowed the money".

 

Personally, I would be putting a response to their SA forward, (which isn't required, but would be fun to construct) pointing all this out - then let the Court decide.

 

A word of warning, though, as usual. The Court may well decide this in their favour - highly improbable, but not impossible. You may want to consider if you want to push on, but I would if it were me... ;)

 

Is this a new claim? If so, and they haven't sought permission to bring it, (regardless of whether they think they can win or not) then you should seek a SO on that basis.

Just to add, the SA was never actually used as the Judge didn't allow their application, but I would imagine it will form the basis of their case and statement which has to be submitted this week.

Hi SB

 

If their SA (posted by you above at post #320) is used as a basis for their case, then referring to Para 20 (which in turn refers to Para 6 of Bouffants WS), how can Bouffant make a 'Statement of Truth' as authorised by the claimant when he hasn't actually seen the original document (agreement) himself? Perhaps that's something that legal representatives are permitted to do, but I'd say he's on shaky ground.

 

The reason I say that is because of my personal experience with my own 'GM Card' alleged 'agreement', which I posted up at the very beginning of my thread; http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/dca-legal-successes/124572-hfc-no-agreement-amended.html

 

Both myself and pt2537 noticed there were distinct crease marks on the application purported to be the agreement (2 marks which indicated an A4 page folded into three sections), but no such corresponding crease marks appeared on the T&Cs (shown at post #17).

 

The discussion of this appears in posts #1 and #13.

 

Cheers

Rob
