    • What do you guys think the chances are for her?   She followed the law, they didnt, then they engage in deception, would the judge take kindly to being lied to by these clowns? If we have a case then we should proceed and not allow these blatant dishonest cheaters to succeed 
    • I have looked at the car park and it is quite clearly marked that it is  pay to park  and advising that there are cameras installed so kind of difficult to dispute that. On the other hand it doesn't appear to state at the entrance what the charge is for breaching their rules. However they do have a load of writing in the two notices under the entrance sign which it would help if you could photograph legible copies of them. Also legible photos of the signs inside the car park as well as legible photos of the payment signs. I say legible because the wording of their signs is very important as to whether they have formed a contract with motorists. For example the entrance sign itself doe not offer a contract because it states the T&Cs are inside the car park. But the the two signs below may change that situation which is why we would like to see them. I have looked at their Notice to Keeper which is pretty close to what it should say apart from one item. Under the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012 Schedule 4 Section 9 [2]a] the PCN should specify the period of parking. It doesn't. It does show the ANPR times but that includes driving from the entrance to the parking spot and then from the parking place to the exit. I know that this is a small car park but the Act is quite clear that the parking period must be specified. That failure means that the keeper is no longer responsible for the charge, only the driver is now liable to pay. Should this ever go to Court , Judges do not accept that the driver and the keeper are the same person so ECP will have their work cut out deciding who was driving. As long as they do not know, it will be difficult for them to win in Court which is one reason why we advise not to appeal since the appeal can lead to them finding out at times that the driver  and the keeper were the same person. You will get loads of threats from ECP and their sixth rate debt collectors and solicitors. They will also keep quoting ever higher amounts owed. Do not worry, the maximum. they can charge is the amount on the sign. Anything over that is unlawful. You can safely ignore the drivel from the Drips but come back to us should you receive a Letter of Claim. That will be the Snotty letter time.

    • Yes, it was, but in practice we've found time after time that judges will not rule against PPCs solely on the lack of PP.  They should - but they don't.  We include illegal signage in WSs, but more as a tactic to show the PPC up as spvis rather than in the hope that the judge will act on that one point alone. But sue them for what?  They haven't really done much apart from sending you stupid letters. Breach of GDPR?  It could be argued they knew you had Supremacy of Contact but it's a a long shot. Trespass to your vehicle?  I know someone on the Parking Prankster blog did that but it's one case out of thousands. Surely best to defy them and put the onus on them to sue you.  Make them carry the risk.  And if they finally do - smash them. If you want, I suppose you could have a laugh at the MA's expense.  Tell them about the criminality they have endorsed and give them 24 hours to have your tickets cancelled and have the signs removed - otherwise you will contact the council to start enforcement for breach of planning permission.

    • 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.

Hello,

Can I seek clarification on my above points, also because they haven't mentioned any documents should I be asking them to replead?

Thanks

 

Hi,

Would somebody take a look at the attached letter which I intend to send today. I am still confused over CPR 18 and 31.14 so have mentioned both.

I was going to just send it as a CPR 18 because of the lack of documentation quoted and ask for a replead but the majority of people on this forum send thee CPR 31.14 lettter.

Would this be suitable?

Thanks

Hi Miss C,

 

The CPR request looks fine. Make sure you send it Recorded Deliver and just initial it, don't sign it.

 

You need to defend this in full as with that POC, they have no chance of winning at all.(In a real world anyway)

 

Make sure you don't miss the deadline as I'm not sure if you can log in as it was Issued in Southend and not the bulk mail center. Get the CPR off, defend the claim in full and that will give people extra time to help with your defence.

Just to update, letter was sent recorded. No response received at all so I rang the court who advised me to ensure some form of defence was put in so that I wouldn't get a judgement by default. I couldn't do anything but refute their legal claim because I have nothing to work with and my 28 days has almost expired.

 

Not sure what will happen now...just wait and see I suppose ! :mad2:

Could you please tell us what the Particulars of Claim actually said? You made a vague reference to it in one of the previous posts but it really would help to know what has been claimed.

 

The reason for this is that your defence has to relate to what is actually claimed against you.

 

Also, please be aware that First Direct is actually owned by HSBC so that is probably why they make reference to a HSBC account

Hi Nicklea,

 

The POC verbatim states "The claimants claim against the defendant (My Name) the sum of (amount) due under the following account (account number of DCA and my old Current Account Number)

 

I have issued a defence but could only base it on the paperwork which I had to hand which luckily for me I have kept all corres for a number of years.

 

I have defended as follows:

 

1 I have never acknowleged this debt (copy of letter from 2009 sent to court showing disputed account)

 

2 I requested them to either re-plead or provide information under CPR 18/31.14 on (date)

 

3 I have always disputed this debt and despite asking them to substantiate their claim nothing has ever been forthcoming (Copy of corres dating back 2 years provided to court)

 

4 I have never held a HSBC Bank Account (letter sent to court from HSBC in 2009 confirming this )

 

I have also stated that I would have appreciated the opportunity to defend properly but due to an approaching deadline and the fact that I have not had a response to the CPR request I have been cheated of this.

 

I have defended as best as I could under the circumstances.

Thanks

Miss C

Have received a notice of discontinuance - does this mean they will go away never to return?

 

Or do I still have to watch my back !

 

I am thinking of claiming all of the money back which they have extorted from me over the last couple of years,

 

is this a possibility or should I let things lie?

 

Thanks for all of your help people.

You definitely SHOULD! After all they rattled your cage acting the BIG I AM, now the boot is on the other foot, right back at them I say, make them think twice before issuing should puerile foolish nonsense again, if they do then they better have the minerals to carry it out and stick by their word, failing that they will get hammered each and every time for their childish deluded ramblings.

Who ever heard of someone getting a job at the Jobcentre? The unemployed are sent there as penance for their sins, not to help them find work!

Just a bit of further advice required,

 

Is there any particular paperwork that I need to send to the court to claim wasted costs and recover monies paid to this **** in the past or will a letter to the claimants solicitors and a copy to the courts suffice?

 

I have had a look at other posts on the forums but a N244 doesn't seem to fit my case.

Thanks

I sent a letter to the DCA Solicitors that instigated the legal proceedings requesting wasted costs etc and also the money which the DCA have had from me over the last couple of years.

 

Letter received from the solicitors dated 12/4 basically telling me to get stuffed, they didn't put it quite so bluntly but the gist of it is that their clients have delined my alleged costs, they they only discontinued due to age of the debt and that the debt is still owed and remains due.

 

They have pointed out that I do not have any solicitors on record therefore my claim regarding legal consultation is invalid (I consulted with my union solicitors Browells) but defended myself and as far as my payments made in the past to this debt they have refused to refund because they state they were recovering on behalf of their client.

 

They have said as a goodwill gesture their client will cease further recovery action and that they, as solicitors are no longer instructed to act in this case....nice kiss off.

 

What can I do now??

Miss C :-x

First of all I will say that I am not the person to give any advice at all on the merits of claiming your LIP costs of 9.25 per hour. I'm sure that others will come along and help you with that.

 

However, having said that, there are a couple of issues where I would suggest that you really will not get anywhere:-

 

They have pointed out that I do not have any solicitors on record therefore my claim regarding legal consultation is invalid (I consulted with my union solicitors Browells)

 

If you had to pay a fee then, yes, you could possibly make a claim. However, if you didn't have to pay anything to the solicitors then what are you trying to claim?

 

 

as far as my payments made in the past to this debt they have refused to refund because they state they were recovering on behalf of their client.

 

There was a recent case in the Court of Appeal that confirmed that sanctions not provided for under the Act are not available. What this means is that if the debt didn't come under the CCA then you would be able to claim for restitution oif payments made under a mistake of law and also interest on those payments for the time value of the debts as well - there is case law that supports this.

 

However, the CCA clearly states that you can't claim this for debts regulated by the CCA. Have a read of some of the posts of pt2537. He tried to do this for one of his clients and was succesfull at first instance but was soundly beaten in the Court of Appeal after the creditor appealed the outcome.
