    • In answer to your questions yes even though it wasn't called that, it was the NTK. Had it been a windscreen ticket you would not have received the NTK until 28 days had elapsed. In earlier times if the warden was present then a windscreen ticket would have been issued. It nows seems that the DVLA and the Courts don't see a problem  with not issuing a ticket when a warden is on site. A period of parking must mean that ther e has to be a start time and a finish time in order for it to be considered a period. A single time does not constitute a period. I am not sure what you mean by saying it could be taken either way.  All they have mentioned is  the incident time which is insufficient. There are times on the photos about one minute apart which do not qualify as the parking period because they are not on the PCN itself. The reason I asked if the were any more photos is that you should be allowed 5 minutes Consideration period for you to read the signs and decide whether you want to accept them and you do that by staying longer than 5 minutes. if  more  do not have photos of your staying there for more than 5 minutes they are stuffed. You cannot say that you left within the 5 minute period if you didn't , but you can ask them, should it get to Court , to provide strict proof that you stayed longer than the statutory time. If they can't do that, case over.
    • I recently bought some trainers from Sports Direct and was unhappy with them and their extortionate delivery and return postage charges. I tweeted about being unhappy, and received a reply from someone claiming to be from Sports Direct asking me to send my order number and email address by pm, so a claim could be raised. Which I (stupidly) did. The account used Sports Direct's name and branding, and a blue tick.  The following day I received a call from "Sports Direct Customer Service", and with a Kenyan number. They asked for details of the issue, and then sent me an email with a request to install an app called Remitly. They provided me with a password to access the app then I saw that it had been setup for me to transfer £100, and I was asked to enter my credit card number so they could "refund" me. I told them I was uncomfortable with this (to say the least), and was just told to ring them back when I did feel comfortable doing it. Ain't never gonna happen.  I just checked my X account, and the account that sent the message asking for my details is gone. I feel like a complete idiot falling for what was a clear scam. But at least I realised before any real damage was done. if you make a complaint about a company on social media, and you get a reply from someone claiming to be from that company and asking for personal details, tread very carefully.   
    • The good news is that their PCN does not comply with the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012  Schedule 4.. First under Section 9 (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; (b)inform the keeper that the driver is required to pay parking charges in respect of the specified period of parking and that the parking charges have not been paid in full; The PCN does not specify the parking period. AS you rightly say the ANPR times do not include driving to the parking space and then from there back to the exit. And once you include getting children in and out of cars especially if seat belts are involved the time spent parked can be a fair bit less than the ANPR times but still probably nowhere near the time you spent. But that doesn't matter -it's the fact that they failed to comply. Also they failed to ask the keeper to pay the charge.  Their failure means that they cannot now transfer the charge from the diver to the keeper . Only the driver is now liable. As long as UKPA do not know who was driving it will be difficult for them to win in Court as the Courts do not accept that the driver and the keeper are the same person. Particularly as anyone can drive any car if they have the correct insurance. It might be able to get more reasons to contest the PCN if you could get some photos of the signs. both at the entrance and inside the car park. the photos need to be legible and if there are signs that say different things from others that would also be a help.
    • Farage rails and whines about not being allowed on the BBC ... ... but pulls out at the last minute of a BBC Panorama interview special. It was denied it was anything to do with his candidates being outed as misogynists and Putin apologists, or that farage was afraid Nick Robinson might throw some difficult questions at him ... despite farages recent practice at quickly cowering in fear.   It was claimed 'it wasn't in Nigels diary'     Nigel Farage pulls out of BBC interview at last minute amid Hitler row WWW.INDEPENDENT.CO.UK ‘Panorama’ special postponed as Reform UK party faces row over candidate who claimed UK would have been ‘better off’ if it had...   Waaahhhh
    • i'd say put lowells to strict proof of where the payment came from. cant hurt to send SB letter, even if proved not. at least they get your correct address. they'd have to link the old IVA times scale to a payment  these IVA F&F pots (if thats where it came from) most mugs dont even know they are not only taking most of your payments on fees but also creaming money off to supposedly offer F&F's.  funny when the IVA fails or is complete these sums of money in F&F pots never get given back or even mentions... these IVA firm directors esp with regard to knightsbridge and creditfix were fined and struck off more times than Paul Burdell of Link Fame and still managed to continue to scam people.

    • 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.

Danboy381, you are completely wrong with regards to the postcodes. Any AHCEO can operate throughout Engalnd & Wales (Scotland has their own Sheriffs). The postcodes they have recorded against there names is for the Registry Trust when dishing out High Court Writs under the 'cab rank' system (where no indiviudal officer is named).

 

Then that is in total contradiction to HCEO Regs Section 6. and Section 7.

Well spotted danboy... but given the number of timed ive busted an HCEO in front of the Judge on fee irregularity, I dont think the law matters a great deal to them. One goes, another one comes.

I'm afraid you are incorrect Danboy381. I would advise that this still relates to the Registry Trust 'cab rank' system. We are required to enforce the Writs issued in the areas we subscribe to but can also act on Writs outside that durisdiction in accordance with the changes brought in by the 2003 Courts Act (April 2004)

 

Happy Contrails, whilst your contempt for the HCEO is apparent, your knowledge is limited at best judging by your other posts. If you have really 'busted' so many HCEO's it would suggest you are a persistant debtor having judgments issued against them. I would hope this is not the case.

Fortunately no, I think extortion carries the death penalty, but then gain, failure to repay a consumer debt carries a prison term....

 

There's no c/tax or parking ticket charges yet, but a traffic felony can be 1 or 2 hours unpaid work - like 'community service' in the UK.

The alternartive between my UK turnarounds on flying duty is sitting on the bench as magistrate dealing with drug dealers & drunk drivers hauled in by the police on their previous night shift, but there's little satisfaction handing out fines when it's just £5 a week from their benefits.

Thanks for bringing that to my attention - The regs really are outdated and flaky aren't they. I'll bring these sections up in my next meeting at the Ministry of justice

 

 

p.s HC - Penalty for extortion is Death?! Any chance of organising a flight to Dubai for HCEO's?

I agree the majority of fees are easy enough to follow until you get to:

 

C General Fees

12 Miscellaneous

Got them on that count no Levy no valuation etc etc

For any matter not otherwise provided for, such sum as a Master, district judge or costs judge may allow upon application.

What is the ruling on these fees normally

This is where all the arguments seem to stem from, they add Admin Charges, Debtor Advice Charges, Scratching my bum until Debtor decides to pay Charges etc. This is why it is very important to not only get a screenshot of your account but also serve them a Subject Access Request so you get all the information which allows you to question their actions.

What is a screen shot or should i saty what does it look like I have a print off in my SAR that looks like the activity report but it is incomplete.

In my opinion they are caught cheating that many times it would be far easier just to do things properly in the first place. Remember that if the attending Field Officer is overcharging you then it usually follows that the Company he works on behalf of and therefore the appointed HCEO are all parties to the "crime", not forgetting the Creditor who let the dogs out in the first place.

DOes this apply to say a firm that instructed the HCEO I have reaad about it applying to councils but been advised that itr doesnt apply to all.How do I apply to get at the frim??

If they have listed these then they have blatantly acted unlawfully and when challenged would expect to see them backpedal very quickly.

Hmm a pinstickers guide this one, honestly haven't a clue and suspect this is what they hope by listing all these strange charges. Maybe just a tool to inflate imaginary charges that look good on paper.

It sounds as if you have got what you need. It should start at the beginning when the "job" first arrived in their office. Each time something has been done there should be a record of what happened. Obviously there will be feverish activity on the day you were visited and it is a case of checking each item with the fees you have been charged. It should even have any record of any letter or phone call from yourself. May I ask what makes you think it is incomplete?

Maybe approach the original Creditor to see if they know what really happened. Some don't have a clue about what goes on and are horrified when they find out.

The company I owed money to that gained the judgement was a firm of solicitors, I spoke to their head of litigation and he told me that he hadnt recieved my offer from sherfarce however they wouldnt talk to me again as they said I wa an opponent in litigation

The activity report has some holes in it and does show what triggered the costs I di ask for it nut that triggered the fee hearing. I am picking holes in the sar and belive me their are plenty.

Reference the levy fees they didnt get in my house or lsit anything in the garden but the show fees and valuation but I dont knbow what they valued.

the first vist fee is shown as £175 financial mangement £160Admin £175 etc etc.I do understand the fees set out in the regs but they put these down as 'other fees not provided for'

I still need guidance on the hearing procedure

Hi I need a little help with the following please. To cut a long story short, I lived in a house that was rented, I had a blinds company come and fit blinds in the property, there was some issues that hey eventually fixed but in the meantime, I lost my job, the house and other bits and I hold my hand up to say that the Blinds company was not a priority to me at the time!! Needless to say it has now bitten me on the bum as the Baliffs at C N Gaunt have been round to the house and left a notice throught the door which the new tenants have given to the letting agents, which they then emailed onto me.... What rights have they got to enter the house that i am no longer renting and take goods? I am at my wits end as it is all really scary. I must point out that I did intend to pay for the blinds, but now i have a CCJ and the costs are mounting!!! I think i will have a nervous breakdown, as i only came out of hospital a few weeks ago having had a hysterectomy due to cancer!!! Please help, i am at my wits end. Thank you:-(

No.

 

In fact you dont have to tell the bailiffs your current address. The CCJ is invalid because you did not receive a Defendants Response pack when the Cliamant sommenced proceedings.

 

 

 

I am at my wits end as it is all really scary. I must point out that I did intend to pay for the blinds, but now i have a CCJ and the costs are mounting!!!

 

The fee is £45 approx depending on size of debt, you can disregard all the HCEO fees because the Claimant has not complied to the Civil Procedure Rules and allowed you a defence.

 

I think i will have a nervous breakdown, as i only came out of hospital a few weeks ago having had a hysterectomy due to cancer!!! Please help, i am at my wits end. Thank you:-(

 

If this bites you on the arse, then file an application to have the order set aside on the grounds the proceedings were not served at your current address pursuant to Section 7 of the Interpretation Act 1978.
