      Letter from Police, intention to prosecute RTA - advice please on how to proceed

      By The Phantom · Posted

      Yeah, I would confirm that anyway, as there is a separate sheet where I have to put in those details and my insurance number and driving licence number. That is on page 2 (page one is their allegations) then page three is a statement that you weren't the driver and space to give details who was driving. Page 4 is an empty sheet for a statement to explain the situation. So I will fill out my details as the driver on page 2, admitting I was driving at the time, and then attach my statement as above as a separate sheet. That should hopefully do it at this stage

      Seems OK, except that you must provide your details (as the driver). Include your name, address, DOB and driving licence number. This is to comply with s172 of the Road Traffic Act. Keep a copy and get a free Certificate of Posting from the Post Office.

      Further Steps Notice and Notice of Enforcemant regarding court case I was unaware of.

      By Aleafstorm · Posted

      Dear all, some information/advice required please.   I recently received a Further Steps Notice about a fine from 19/03/2018 which I knew nothing about. It was regarding a vehicle parked on the street without tax ( It was covered up and there because the only key to it had been stolen, I had been away from home  and I was having trouble getting a new key cut and coded to the vehicle )  I had not made a change of address to DVLA which would be why I knew nothing about the fine until receiving the final steps notice dated 29th April 2024 and giving me 10 working days to pay, although the notice did not arrive till May 9th 2024. I emailed the London Collection and Compliance Centre on May 13th 2024 asking for any information and they sent me a copy of the original fine. It is for  £390 back vehicle tax, £85 cost and £600 fine.  I now have received a Notice of Enforcement dated 7th June 2024 demanding payment ( total £1036)  or an arrangement by 6am 15th June ( tomorrow )  My question is is it tool late now to question the £600 fine part of the total amount to be paid ? That amount seems punitive.  Would making a statuary declaration regarding having no knowledge of the original court date apply ? And any other advice gratefully received. I am on Universal Credit and apparently they have already taken £177 via benefit reductions which I wasn’t aware of, but does make it seem strange that they were also unable to contact me.    Many thanks for any assistance

    • Big Motoring World Enfield /Blackhorse - done over on car - @BigMotoringWrld

      ATJ posted a topic in Vehicle retailers and manufacturers,

      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

    • Post in Suing a parcel delivery company when you don't have a direct contract with them – third-party rights Copy of judgment available

      BankFodder posted a post in a topic,

      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.

Have you had a fine from them?

So do you think I should not even bother sending my bank statement?

Thanks

 

 

This is not a FINE, it's an unenforceable invoice. You are taking these people too seriously. They are not the police or the council, but private citizens with no more right than you or me to demand money off people. And don't send them your bank statement, it's nothing to do with them.

Hi number 23, ( I'm certain dopey witch doesn't apply! )A few assumtpions here: that your returned to the car and the ticket was in a yellow envelope stuck to the window:you were concerned and e-mailed rather than phoned ( thus enabling you to withhold your number). Also the company who manage the car park maybe GEMINI PARKING SOLUTIONS : you would need to check the ticket to confirm this. If it isn't then Google the name and see what pops up. If it is this company then there are many threads on most of the consumer forums all saying the same : these are a money making organisation who would issue a ticket to a mars bar if it stood still for too long. First thing I would suggest is putting them on your blocked e-mail list or change your email. Next as they don't have your address at present they will apply to the DVLA for the registered keepers details and send the Penalty notice to that person. Keep the letter but do not respond and they will continue to 'increase' the threats. Be brave and eventually they will give up. My case took 7 letters; 3 from the parking company ( messy black and white efforts with overtyping ); 3 from Debt Recovery Plus ( red headed notepaper ); and 1 from Parking Collection Services ( Green ) and 7 months to come to an end. I almost made a big mistake and considered paying up but my boss suggested I look up Money Saving Experts and the Consumer Action Group sites just to see if anyone had had dealing with the group and BINGO : almost too much info but it made me realise I would be silly to be bothered by their threats. Life's too short to be bothered by idiot companies like these!

I received a parking ticket issued by the Car Parking Partnership. I noticed that the adhesive envelope in which the ticket was attached to my windscreen featured a printed warning that it was an offence for anyone other than the driver of the vehicle to remove the ticket.

I suspect this is correct, but just wonder what kind of offence it would be and under what legislation? I can understand that removing a proper PCN issued by a Local Authority or by the Police could well be an offence, but a ticket (aka invoice) issued by a private company....?

Can anyone advise? Sneakily hoping that it's not an offence at all and they're not supposed to say this.....!

Considering its litter to begin with, I don't know of any legislation which covers theft of litter. Maybe others know different? Them using this language, however erroneous, doesn't really put them in much trouble though, that I'm aware of. Its just another pathetic attempt to make their tickets look official.

Hmmm...

Not sure about that. I do recall a bizarre case many years ago when someone was prosecuted for stealing from someone else's dustbin, but then again that's probably classed as the property of the householder until such time as it's collected by the local council refuse collectors (and it's probably not "litter" in the true sense of the word!)...:!:

I actually raised this point with both the BPA and Town and City Parking who also use this stupid envelope.. The word for word answer from both of them ( you can see that the PPPC is pulling the BPA's strings) was that this would be classed as theft and also applies to such things as advertising flyers.

 

I then emailed them asking if anyone had actually been prosecuted for this heinous “crime” and what happens if the RK or a passenger (instead of the driver) touches the ticket. Answer came there none. Of course “theft” is defined as “permanently depriving someone of their property”. So, if the driver has not returned to their car who is the actual “owner” of the ticket? - the driver or the PPC? And what happens if a third party takes the ticket and posts it back to the PPC? That couldn’t be classified as theft because the PPC still has the ticket in their possession.

 

Of course all this is stuff and nonsense. Could you actually see the police taking this seriously?As has been pointed out above, this is just a cynical exercise on the PPCs part to try and fool motorists into thinking that this is some sort of official document.

Hi everyone. I have also just received a Charge Notice letter from Highview Parking for staying 47 minutes over my 2hrs free parking after watching a 2hr plus film. I was unaware there was a time limit and seeing as there are only 2 shops which use this car park and both were shut ( the car park was virtually empty ) its seems rather strange. One difference with my letter from those I

Sorry my reply seems to have posted without me finishing it here it continues:

 

One difference with my letter from those I have read is that my letter includes 2 photos of me and the wife driving into the car park at 16.02 and then another leaving at 18.49. The first photo is clearer than the second but still blurry. The second is the back of my car in the dark. My question is - Does this give the company anymore "clout" with regards to making me pay the £75 - reduced to £50 for quick payment!

Thanks Michael for your reply. I presumed that this may be the case, I just thought maybe our "mugshots", fuzzy as they are, would give them extra evidence, even though I don't dispute it was me driving. It's more a case a)I didnt know there was a time limit b) the shops were shut when we returned and the car park virtually empty and c) there was no signage at the entrance to the car park to say it was a time controlled free car park.

I would have thought it more a case of the £75, or whatever they are claiming is not a true reflection of their loss, so is an unforceable penalty. But that's just me!

Hi,

After having read the previous posts....I was looking for updates. I have just received a parking fine through the post for parking over a time at a supermarket car park (which I have to admit I didn't use the supermarket). I think I may have made a mistake by appealing, I am now awaiting a response! Has anyone ignored Highview and they have gone away??

Thanx

I think we can safely assume that nothing happened and the parking company just gave up. By the way, it's not a FINE, it's an unenforceable invoice,

Everyone ignores Highview. They never do Court and they don't issue 'parking fines' only fake ones!

 

No need to await your response, you know what it will say surely? :razz:

 

Just compare each letter you get to the letter chain thread link in the sticky thread, currently second from the top of the yellow info threads at the top of this parking forum. PLay snap with said letters. Tell your friends about it and make sure they never pay a Private ParkingCharge notice either. Spread the word!

Needless to say they have declined my appeal!! I've called citizens advice, they say the only way I can be forced to pay is if they take me to court and if they win, I pay the costs. They advised me to go and look at the sign to see if I breached the terms of parking... But that's too far away!! I don't know what to do....don't know if the stress is worth £45!
