    • I have just read the smaller print on their signs. It says that you can pay at the end of your parking session. given that you have ten minutes grace period the 35 seconds could easily have been taken up with walking back to your car, switching on the engine and then driving out. Even in my younger days when I used to regularly exceed speed limits, I doubt I could have done that in 35 seconds even when I  had a TR5.

    • Thank you for posting up the results from the sar. The PCN is not compliant with the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012 Schedule 4. Under Section 9 [2][a] they are supposed to specify the parking time. the photographs show your car in motion both entering and leaving the car park thus not parking. If you have to do a Witness Statement later should they finally take you to Court you will have to continue to state that even though you stayed there for several hours in a small car park and the difference between the ANPR times and the actual parking period may only be a matter of a few minutes  nevertheless the CEL have failed to comply with the Act by failing to specify the parking period. However it looks as if your appeal revealed you were the driver the deficient PCN will not help you as the driver. I suspect that it may have been an appeal from the pub that meant that CEL offered you partly a way out  by allowing you to claim you had made an error in registering your vehicle reg. number . This enabled them to reduce the charge to £20 despite them acknowledging that you hadn't registered at all. We have not seen the signs in the car park yet so we do not what is said on them and all the signs say the same thing. It would be unusual for a pub to have  a Permit Holders Only sign which may discourage casual motorists from stopping there. But if that is the sign then as it prohibits any one who doesn't have a permit, then it cannot form a contract with motorists though it may depend on how the signs are worded.
    • Defence and Counterclaim Claim number XXX Claimant Civil Enforcement Limited Defendant XXXXXXXXXXXXX   How much of the claim do you dispute? I dispute the full amount claimed as shown on the claim form.   Do you dispute this claim because you have already paid it? No, for other reasons.   Defence 1. The Defendant is the recorded keeper of XXXXXXX  2. It is denied that the Defendant entered into a contract with the Claimant. 3. As held by the Upper Tax Tribunal in Vehicle Control Services Limited v HMRC [2012] UKUT 129 (TCC), any contract requires offer and acceptance. The Claimant was simply contracted by the landowner to provide car-park management services and is not capable of entering into a contract with the Defendant on its own account, as the car park is owned by and the terms of entry set by the landowner. Accordingly, it is denied that the Claimant has authority to bring this claim. 4. In any case it is denied that the Defendant broke the terms of a contract with the Claimant. 5. The Claimant is attempting double recovery by adding an additional sum not included in the original offer. 6. In a further abuse of the legal process the Claimant is claiming £50 legal representative's costs, even though they have no legal representative. 7. The Particulars of Claim is denied in its entirety. It is denied that the Claimant is entitled to the relief claimed or any relief at all.

    • 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.

SO TO THEM NOT YOU

 

1. It is denied that the matters pleaded in the Particulars of Claim actually disclose any cause of action. In particular:-

 

 

a) It is denied that that the Defendant can have liability to "pay" the Claimant sums of money simply on account of "requests for payment" in relation to a egg credit card- the only matters pleaded.

 

 

No cause of action known to English Law exists on the basis of such "requests for payment" (whether repeated or not).

 

 

 

b) Neither the Claimant being xxxxxxx which it appears (on the face of the Particulars, although due to their vagueness it is hard to know) to be being alleged were due

 

 

c) In any event, it is denied that the Defendant has or ever has had liability to pay - whomever that may be - any sum whatsoever.

 

2. It is expressly denied the Defendant is liable to pay any money pursuant to contract or otherwise to the Claimant.

 

3. Without prejudice to the above contentions, the Defendant asserts that in particular, given that the original of the liability is said to be a credit card given by " (which is a person / entity / company not known to the Defendant), it will be the case, taking into account the amount of the liability, that the transaction and the underlying agreement (if any) between egg credit card and the Claimant would be regulated by the terms of the Consumer Credit Act 1974.

 

4. It is the express contention of the Defendant - again without prejudice to the contention that there is in fact no agreement - that any such agreement as exists does not comply with the Act. It is impossible to plead further in the absence of a pleading by the Claimant as to what the agreement was and what its terms were and the Defendant reserves the right further to plead Particulars of failure to comply in the event that the Claimant amends it Particulars of Claim to allege the agreement

I've just had a look at Probe Investigations....they say on their website that their credit licence number is 505489

 

Now type that number into the OFT's licence checker and it brings up an elapsed licence..!!

 

Check under the post codes at their offices in Liverpool and Birmingham, and if it is the same person, I think you need to check that in order to serve documents like this I think their licence needs to extend to Debt Collection (which this one doesn't)...and Probe is NOT named on this entry....it could be a serious abuse of process....

On the probe Birmingham address there is no licence at all....I would contact the OFT to get them to check and ask whether a process server's licence needs to extend to debt collection. There is certainly no reference to Probe as a company on any licence that I can find....Are Probe the ones that have served the demand ? or is there any reference to a particular person ? - PM me the details if need be....

A check on the licence they state is theirs ( 505489 ) reveals that this licence is lapsed.....might be worth getting a screen shot of their website !!!

Hi 42 man,

 

Yes probe served the demand, well I think so... They sent a un letterheaded letter. The only reason I knew it was them was because I googled the telephone number.

 

Then as they threatened the SD was passed under my door the following Tuesday.

 

I can scan up the letter if need be?

Just back from court, have put in forms and the clerk advised me that I should wait now to see if the judge grants a set aside on the merits of the forms... Forgot to ask for a reciept :(

 

I guess it is just a waiting game now? Any suggestions of what to do in the meantime would be most welcome...

Thanks for all the help everyone!

 

Was just wondering, is it a given that this will be set aside? The clerk seemed to think not.

 

I don't want to be landed with having to prepare a defence at the drop of a hat....

 

I know i am probably making a mountain out of a molehill at the moment but it would be just my luck!!

 

Also, should I have sent copy's of the forms (or anything else) to Lowells??

Hi Vera..

 

No i dont think so V, in answer to your first Q, the judge i think looks over what you sent in and if they think you have good grounds to fight then then the hearing is set.

second Q, you should have had 3 sets of your paperwork, one for you one for court one for lowlife! the court sent my set to them.

 

I am starting to worry slightly about mine, it seems to be galloping nearer at a huge rate of knots:eek:

 

Hope this helps and you do on the other hand have some great ammo, re: the probe investigations outfit! 42man will sort that bit for you!!

 

all the best

 

MJ:)

I think you'll find it will be now !!! especially when you raise this point with judge along with your response from the OFT !!! It is an abuse of process and you should get your costs back !!! (which you'll need to submit to be in the court at least 24 hours before the hearing !!!)

OK, also have a loan with Egg, and have received a letter from Lowells advising basically that they are attempting to retrieve my CCA from Egg??? Thought they now owned the debt??

but don't blame them if it takes longer than 12 days. This is in response to sending the SAR (I Think) and "Account in dispute" letter.

V..

 

My understanding is that Lowells should have your CCA, as they are the ones who now own the debt.

 

They still have not sent my CCA, requested back in Sept. Account now in dispute letter sent.

 

You say you have received your CCA (from Egg?), is that all you got in response to your SAR??

 

regards
