    • 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.

Right here is the situation...

 

I have defaulted with PTP - I gave them notice to say I was going to default and I have sent them an harrassment letter to stop phone calls..

 

They have choose to ignore all letters (which they have on website showed they have recieved) and have decided to start the calls.

 

they phoned me last night at home - I said you have the wrong number and they said "I KNOW ITS NOT AND I WILL BE CALLING AGAIN!"

in a threatening tone!

 

I phoned them today to try and deal with the company direct and I was told if i dont pay "DOOR TO DOOR COLLECTION AGENCY wil be used"

 

So... I have taken this to the OFS. I have filed an offical complaint and copied in the advisor at PTP. This is my email to PTP....

 

F.A.O. - COLLECTIONS

 

Dear Gavin

 

I am writing to inform you that I have made a complaint to the Financial Ombudsman regarding my customer service I recieved from Poundstilpayday.

 

They have copies of all correspondance I have from your company and yourself.

 

With regards to the harrassment letter your company recieved I do not wish to recieve any futher phone calls from your company. I spoke to your colleague this morning and informed him I would be calling back at 1pm to discuss this further but I have decided to take this to the FOS to deal with professionally.

 

I will no longer be making contact with you.

 

The Financial Ombudsman will be acting on my behalf.

 

 

And this is the email I got back.....

 

GIBBO.,

 

This is completely unacceptable. You have no grounds whatsoever to make a

complaint. The least I expect is the

coutesy to explain your situation. I will continue contact with yourself over

the next month regarding this matter regardless of whether you are contacting

the Financial Ombudsman or not. I would therefore advise you to cooperate

regarding this matter.

 

Gavin Armstrong.

 

 

 

Can anyone please tell me where I now stand with these threatening phone calls????

Hi Gibbo

 

You have to laugh at their collection monkeys. They can't get what they want so try to intimidate instead. keep complaining but in the short term difficult to stop them calling other than to just ignore them.

 

Refuse to talk to him and await pass to DCA. Then I would CCA them and show you can be difficult as well :D

Gavin is really intellecutal thats why he wrote what he did in his email for me to pass straight to FOS

I just love the fact that he hasn't been able to curb his temper at the fact that you've dared to stand up to his and his company's bullying tactics.

 

I just have visions of him spitting out his coffee upon reading your letter, slamming his mug down and hammering out his well reasoned and moderated olive branch of a reply.

so should we all have bets on he will call again soon?

 

... he may have noticed that when i reply to his "emails" I have also copied on the OFS so they have the stubborn reponses.

 

hurry up clarity i say i want this paid and gone!

The wonderful Gavin Armstrong..... Your account can be passed to Gavin or Angela and unfortunately Gavin is by far the worst to deal with.

 

DO NOT deal with this threat monkey over the phone, refuse to answer the security questions.

Yes i have dealt with the FOS.

 

As a general rule of thumb it takes the FOS around 4 to 6 months to investigate a complaint. The FOS will only investigate a complaint once you have received a full and final response to your complaint from PTP.

 

Telephone Harassment

 

If you have sent PTP an email to cease harassing you by telephone and that you requested that contact should only be made by email/mail and PTP are still telephoning you then this is a breach of the Communications Act (2003) s.127 so you should keep a log of the time of the call and the date of the call and present your evidence to OFCOM and OFT.

 

Next time PTP ring, refuse to answer the security question and tell them that you are recording this telephone call (even if your not) PTP will soon give up and pass your account to Clarity.
