    • 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.

Aint that strange :eek:

 

They flatly refused so I had to go to the FOS, quickly backed down though BUT they play dirty.

 

They refunded past six years from the date of my complaint, three years of which didnt have ppi as it was cancelled, accepted it in part settlement and reminded them of the Limitations Act & threatened court action, they then refunded the remaining premiums & claimed they 'misunderstood' the FOS.

 

Still not fully settled as they flatly refuse to refund the contract compound interest as 'Iam not entitled to it' back with the FOS & if they disagree then it looks like court for the balance.

 

They've made a huge some of money out of ppi and (as far as I'm concerned) I want mine back :)

You could also tell her that in about 2 weeks you'll get another letter telling you they're going to get info together to take you to court, then about 3 weeks after that they'll be back to being a bit sad that you've chosen not to contact them:rolleyes:

If they are in default of the CCA request, and are requesting payment of funds they could find themselves in very hot water.

 

Technically that is enforcing an agreement whilst they are legally barred as section 78(6) CCA is in force.

 

I have it confirmed to me by the Office Of Fair Trading that a creditor in default of a s78(1) CCA request, may not enforce an agreement at all either with or without a court order until the request has been completed.

 

Here are the pages I had in response to an enquiry:

http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c104/telso/Image3.jpg

 

Requesting payment, and threatening court action would be further acts of enforcing the agreement - whilst they are legally barred from doing so.

 

Complain to the Office Of Fair Trading at what Fred and their associated companies are doing.

 

And write to Fred, enclosing copies of the three pages informing them that you have made a complaint to the OFT - and that you look forward to them completeing your s78(1) CCA request made on xx/xx/xxxx.

 

Send Fred this;

 

Their address

I will give you 14 days to respond with the above,failure to comply will result in a complaint being made to the Court./In addition to the FOS for any breaches of OFT and CCA codes.This includes breaches as a result of initiating a Country Court claim where failing to provide or produce documents make litigation improper..

Specifically this relates to one or any number of the following;

You are entitled to now use CPR as they have threatened legal action.

 

They should not be using legal channels to try and enforce a disputed debt, so yes, send that letter as well.

 

What a bunch of prats.

That's exactly the same response that Bryan Carter has been sending out in response to CPR requests. They are wrong - there is no track allocated, so they are bound by CPR.

 

You can refuse their request for an extension of time and apply for strike out if they fail to comply. They should have been in possession of the documents when they issued the claim.

 

Even if allocated to small claims, they have to produce the documents they rely on in their PoC.

 

Moreover - if you do agree to their extension for more time, make sure you inform the court and send them a copy of this letter. I wouldn't put it past this lot to agree to more time then go for default judgment.

Fred's are playing with words, Beachy; Semantics!

 

Read the letter again using the following:

 

Entirely (adv.): wholly.

 

Properly (adv): in the right way; justifiably; with decency or good manners; thoroughly.

 

Semasiology...

Well Well Well

 

Yet another letter from Freddie, just one sentence :-

 

'We would be grateful if you could note that we are no longer instructed to act in connection with this matter and our file is now closed'.

OK, be careful.

 

That doesn't mean the court case has gone away. They have not issued a notice of discontinuance, have they?

 

Call the court and ask if they have.

 

If the claimant wants to change solicitor in the middle of the case, they need permission.

 

So make sure your defence goes in, whatever.

Hi DB,

 

They didnt issue a claim, they were only acting as 'collection agents' & following their LBA (post #8 ) threatening Court action if the full outstanding balance wasnt paid within 7 days, they were sent the letter as per cerberusalerts (to whom I thank) post #9.

 

DLC now Freddy, s'pose we await the next one ;)

Whoops, sorry! So many threads, so many claims...

 

Still, I don't think this necessarily means the end of it! It may pop up somewhere else.

 

That makes their letter about the track allocation all the more weird...
