    • next time dont upload 19 single page pdfs use the sites listed on upload to merge them into one multipage pdf.. we aint got all day to download load single page files 2024-01-15 DBCLegal SAR.pdf
    • If you have not kept the original PCN you can always send an SAR to Excel and they have to send you all the info they have on you within a month. failure to do so can lead to you being able to sue them for their failure.......................................nice irony.
    • Thank you and well done  for posting up all those notices it must have have taken you ages.. The entrance sign is very helpful since the headline states                    FREE PARKING FOR CUSTOMERS ONLY in capitals with not time limit mentioned. Underneath and not in capitals they then give the actual times of parking which would not be possible to read when driving into the car park unless you actually stopped and read them. Very unlikely especially arriving at 5.30 pm with possibly other cars behind. On top of that the Notice goes on to say that the terms and conditions are inside the car park so the entrance sign cannot offer a contract it is merely an offer to treat. Inside the car park the signs are mostly too high up and the font size too small to be able to read much of their signs. DCBL have not shown a single sign that can be read on their SAR. Although as they show photographs which were taken the year after your alleged breach we do not know what the signs were when you were there. For instance the new signs showed the charge was then £100 whereas your PCN was for £85. Who knows, when you were there perhaps the time was for 3 hours. They were asked to produce  planning permission which would have been necessary for the ANPR cameras alone and didn't do so. Nor did they provide a copy of the contract-DCBL  "deeming them disproportionate or not relevant to the substantive issues in the dispute" How arrogant and untruthful is that? The contract and planning permission could be vital to having the claim thrown out. I can find no trace of planning permission for the signs nor the cameras on Tonbridge Council planning portal. and the contract of course is highly relevant since some contracts advise the parking rouges that they cannot take motorists to Court. I understand that Europarks are now running that car park which means that nexus didn't  last long before being thrown out.....................................
    • Hi,   I am not sure if I posted this already here but I don't think I did. I attach a judgement that raises very interesting points IMO. Essentially EVRi did their usual non attendance that we normally see, however the judge (for the first time I've seen in these threads) dismissed the notice and awarded me judgement by default because their notice misses the "confirmation of compliance" paragraph. in and out in 3 minutes (aside from the chat at the end with the judge about his problems with evri) Redacted - evri CPR loss.pdf
    • Just to update this. I did apply to strikeout and they did not attend the hearing. I won by defualt and the hearing lasted 5 minutes (court only allocated 15). The judge simply explained that the only matter he was really considering is if the Defendant could have any oral evidence to defend the claim. However he said he had decided that based on their defence, and their misunderstanding of law, and their non attendence he did not think they had any reasonsable chance so he awarded me SJ + Costs on the claim form + the strikeout fee. Luckily when I sent the defendant the order I woke up the next day to a wire trasnfer for the full sum of the judgement

    • 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.

I have received a letter of confirmation of payment plan for a CCJ that states:

'in order to secure their position with regard to your outstanding balance, we intend to proceed with an Application for a CO. However once we have obtained this no further enforcement action will be taken against you, as long as you pay on time'

they also state that they will review the account regularly including interst rates and monthly payments.

Any comments gratefully received!

Was it the court that has set the instalment arrangement?

Is it not possible to apply directly to Court for a variation order to pay by instalments? That way they can't apply for a CO unless you fail to pay or they convince the judge that it's an unreasonable offer?

Also, afaik they can't review interest..Sequenci will know...

If the instalments have been made as part of the court order you will be able to challenge their ability to secure a charging order against your property. They should only be able to do this if you have defaulted on the instalment order, my guide in the very first post of this long thread explains a bit more. You should always challenge any potential applications.

The problem (and a weakness in the system) is if a CCJ is awarded by the Auto-Court in Northampton it will be set at some ridiculous level that you can't afford.

 

If you are unable to make the first payment and it becomes due BEFORE your Redetermination Hearing at your local CC (the transfer often takes a while) you are in

 

default and they can apply for an interim charging order before the redetermination hearing has taken place.

 

Hence you'll have what happened to me a "double whammy" when the Redetermination and CO hearings are combined with an almost guaranteed Charging Order.

 

If only I could have scraped the cash together to make the first payment on the order from Northampton I would have had time to have the redetermination hearing before they could apply for an interim CO and get an installment order like I did on another one. This is set at a level you can afford to pay not the "Mickey Mouse" figures the auto court dishes out and of course if you make the payments they will struggle to get a CO.

This happened to me. The hearing was about how much I should pay per month and the final CO and they already had an interim charging order.

 

Their agency rep came and said he has no instructions about making a payment arrangement and is there for the CO only. Judge said OK, there you are.

 

They then threatened a Sale unless I paid (or borrowed to pay) the balance. They even put me in touch with a loan company.

 

Nearly 6 years now and they haven't done anything, though this last year they have been passing it to various DCAs for collection (they're a DCA themselves). Maybe because they know that soon it will fall off the credit records and they'll then have to show why they haven't been paid (or taken any action) in the 6 years.

 

By the way, I haven't avoided paying any instalments, after the CO they wanted much (10x) more than I could afford. And they took it to a CO even though I was paying my agreed instalments after the CCJ.

Installments are not part of a court order, they are the agreement that the DJ hoped we could reach (but failed to state this in his judgement). Thisagreement was dated before the date the full sum had to be paid. The court had a copy of the letter and said it would be sufficient.

Is it worth sending a copy of the letter as an attachment for redetermination or some other order or will it be too late?

I hope to challenge any and everything (not that it seems to do much good where I live!)

Hi,

Seems to me that you need to get the court to formalise the instalments agreed, otherwise these guys can just keep moving the goalposts and wave the threat of a CO at you constantly to make you up your payments.

I'm also concerned about their statement re reviewing interest. They can't do this! Have a look at the post judgement interest link in Seq's signature.

If Sequenci isn't around today to confirm the procedure, I would contact the court today, explain that the judge informally confirmed that your instalment offer was acceptable but that you are concerned that the creditors are stating it will be regularly reviewed and varied under threat of a Charging Order. Ask what you need to do in order to get the agreed instalments ordered by court. (I understand some court staff may be more helpful than others).

Re the interest - did they include this on the POC (either Statutory or Contractual) and was it allowed in the judgement?

Might be helpful to post up the POC & judgement for more help.

Sorry I can't be more help..I'm still learning :oops:

Hope you can sort it out cym,

They can make an application for an Order to sell the property.

 

Is it jointly owned?

Do you have children living there?

Did you attend the CO hearing?

 

Yes its jointly owned

My son who is 28

I did attend the hearing

 

Thanks for the reply

You should make an application to vary the terms of the charging order to request that no further action can be brought in relation it providing you pay a small instalment to the creditor each month.

 

The form you need to complete is n245, the fee for the application is £35.

 

This would prevent the other party being able to successfully obtain an order for sale unless you default on the instalments.

 

Is there equity in the property?

I told the judge at the hearing that i would be in a position to pay in full in June this year as a way to cancel the charging order with no luck of course.

 

He told me that was the end of the matter and that interest could not be added.

 

Yes there is equity the debt is under 2K

 

What about restons and their letter ?

 

Appreciate your help

Less than 2k!!! I feel they are chancing there arm here... I cant see a judge granting a sale order over so little an amount... Sequenci can offer better advice than me however so await his more valued opinion and advice.

 

Edit: Thinking about it, havent new guidelines come out indicating that debts less than 25k cant be made into sale orders.. or did I just dream it up...

I can find nothing to back this up other than a MoJ consultation paper and the fact con/libdem manifesto promises... so take with a pinch of salt at present.

orders for sale are VERY rare and the more equity there is in the property- in comparrison to the amount in the judgement- the LESS likely it is that a judge will grant an order for sale- even in these rare cases

 

i could not forsee a judge EVER granting an order for sale for a £2K debt on a house with say £20K or more equity in it!!

 

in any event- one would imagine that even with a poor credit record- if you have plenty of equity and you got stuck- your first mortage lender would assist you in clearing the debt- the more so if you are asking for a "bridging loan" for 6 months
