    • 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 is attempting double recovery by adding an additional sum not included in the original offer. 6.

    • 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 all,

 

I've read round and round now in circles on CAG but still not sure what to do.

 

Confession first: About 15-18 years ago my early jobs included working for a number of bailiff companies (in the office). Yes I was hard on people, it was difficult work collecting Community Charge then Council Tax and Parking Fines. But I'm over it now, I got out of the business because I didn't like the way I felt when I got home at then end of the day.

 

Now I respectfully ask for some help on a current problem. In January 2009 Cabot managed to get a CCJ against me for £4500 issued on a Barclaycard debt from 2003. This was after they had to drop another for MBNA from a few years earlier. This is the last debt accrued whilst married, my wife managed to get 2 secured loans by forging my signature, no idea where the money went, ex is a compulsive liar.

 

In the summer of 2008 I managed to get the original CCJ for £11k (MBNA and Barclaycard combined) set aside. They claimed to have sent the summons etc to my previous address in 2007, however by then the flat I had lived in had been demolished and was just a pile of rubble. After much toing and froing from Hodsons on behalf of Cabot a CCJ was granted even though they never managed to produce a CCA.

 

I have ignored Cabot since the CCJ, however now Fire acting on their behalf have been calling me at work (mostly silent calls), 27 calls in the last 20 days, although I have not actually spoken to anyone during any calls.

 

So what to do next?

 

I have logged a complaint about the calls with Ofcom.

 

I have been living in a rented 1 bed flat for the last 3 years and am just scraping by after I pay rent, bills and maintenance to my ex-wife. (Just had her and my son and stepson staying with me because she did not pay the rent on her place.)

 

Should I try to again get the CCJ set aside? Offer a full and final settlement? (I could borrow some money from family to make a settlement.)

 

Any help or suggestions would be much appreciated.

Welcome to Cag...

 

You're not very clear....

 

How did you get two Original Creditors as in BarclayCard and Mbna in the same judgement/court action?

 

You then say it was set aside but then Cabot got the CCJ?

 

Having the same judgement set aside twice? That would take some doing and the grounds for doing so would need to be pretty tight.

 

Also, if you're in a one bed rented flat with large outgoings / maintenance etc and have no realisable assets that Cabot could try and grab then what would you achieve by having it set aside and offer them an FFS for a debt that you say they were unable to produce an enforceable CCA or even an CCA for that matter. STOP right there, it is not something that you want to be doing if they can't prove the debt.

 

As stated up a little, you're a little unclear, perhaps you could clarify a little?

I reside in Dawlish Warren but am not a rabbit.

:confused: As Deb says, little more info. please sunshine.

 

BTW, the F&F is out of the window if you have a CCJ on these debts. The court order for payment to the claimant MUST be followed so unless you apply to the court for a variation, an F&F wouldn't stand anyway.

Any knowledge I possess or advice I proffer is based solely on my experiences in the University of Life. Please make your own assessment of legality, risks & costs before taking any action.

Thanks Deb for the quick reply.

 

So to clarify both debts (Barclaycard and MBNA) were assigned to/bought by Cabot at some stage. When they managed to get the CCJ issued, without my knowledge they had lumped them together. I'm guessing that there was a lack of evidence at the time but as I never saw anything I have no idea.

 

The MBNA debt is now gone, statute-barred and will hopefully never see the light of day again.

 

My reasoning for wanting get this cleared is because I think I would like to move soon so that my son can live with me. (In case the ex-wife does not pay her rent again.) Would like to finally clear up my credit file as I am now keeping it tidy just don't want this blot on the landscape.

I am still confused sunshine. If the MBNA & the BC were lumped together as you say, on one POC, they were presumably the subject of one judgment so how can the MBNA one now be statute barred? They must both come under the CCJ.

 

BTW a CCJ will stay on your credit file for 6 years.

Any knowledge I possess or advice I proffer is based solely on my experiences in the University of Life. Please make your own assessment of legality, risks & costs before taking any action.

even with a ccj there is nothing stopping you negotiating a F & F with the plaintiff so long as he agrees to the court being advised that the CCj has been settled.

 

if you have nowt- then you are a "woman of straw" and in a very good position to negotiate

 

you are in an even better position to tell the plaintiff to go take a hike!
