    • 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.

hi there, is there anyone who may be able to advise me on where to go from here. listed below is the details of whats been received and what i have done with regards to the Claim.

 

20th October received a cc claim from Cohern/CL Finance.

the claim was actually dated 20th July but I had moved, and the claim had old address crossed out with new address written, contacted the court straight away, who said i needed to respond by 4pm the following day, so i filled an embarrassed defense.

21st October wrote to cohern requesting further information, to date not received.

22nd October received letter from CC acknowledging defense.

17th November recieved letter from court transfering case to local court.

1st December wrote to Cohern again with CPR 31.14 request for all information that they are relying on in court. to date nothing recieved.

8th december received letter from CC - it is ordered that: unless the claimant files an AQ by 4pm on the 15th December his statement of case shall be automatically struck out on that date at that time.

16th December had letter from CC: it is ordered pursuant to CPR 3.3(4) that the claimant do file and serve a copy of the regulated agreement relied upon on or before 4pm on the 23rd December.

29th December sent another letter requesting the information. with 14 day deadline to respond.

What have they put as their particulars of claim?? Any chance you can scan it and put it on here? Obviously, remove the personal details!

 

You need to send a CPR 31.14 to CL requesting copies of the documents they refer to on the CC claim form.

 

I am currently undergoing my own battle with CL / Cohens, but, I note that you have already found my thread!

Hi SKi

Because of the timescale, i contacted northampton CC straight away over the phone and was told as the claim was dated 20th July i needed to acknowledge it straight away, i acknowledge this with an embarrassed defense, which i found on here, and also asked for the ability to add to it at a later date,

Hi Postggi,

managed to get through to the court today, and checked to see if the claimant had issued the agreement has requested by the court and the answer to that is no, now i need to do a letter to go for strike out and costs, any idea. cheers

 

 

Hi Letsgetitsorted

 

I was in the same situation as you with CL Finance/ Howard Cohen.

It may pay you to look at my thread, you may find something to help you out.

With my case it was struck out, i contacted the Courts to find out if i could put in for wasted costs. was told to write in with a detailed costs order. If it's the same as mine you will get an order from the Courts allowing your costs and to serve a copy to the Claiment

(Cl Finance/Howard Cohen).

I was in Court on Tuesday and Won my wasted costs order.

 

Hope this helps.
