    • I've looked through all our old NPE threads, and as far as we know they have never had the bottle to do court. There are no guarantees of course, but when it comes to put or shut up they definitely tend towards shut up. How about something like -   Dear Jonathan and Julie, Re: PCN no.XXXXX cheers for your Letter Before Claim.  I rolled around on the floor in laughter at the idea that you actually expected me to take this tripe seriously and cough up. I'll write to you not some uninterested third party, thanks all the same, because you have are the ones trying to threaten me about this non-existent "debt". Go and look up Jopson v Homeguard Services Ltd, saddos.  Oh, while you're at it, go and look up your Subject Access Request obligations - we all know how you ballsed that up way back in January to March. Dear, dear, dear - you couldn't resist adding your £70 Unicorn Food Tax, you greedy gets.  Judges don't like these made-up charges, do they? You can either drop this foolishness now or get a hell of a hammering in court.  Both are fine with me.  Summer is coming up and I would love a holiday at your expense after claiming an unreasonable costs order under CPR 27.14(2)(g). I look forward to your deafening silence.   That should show them you're not afraid of them and draw their attention to their having legal problems of their own with the SAR.  If they have any sense they'll crawl back under their stone and leave you in peace.  Over the next couple of days invest in a 2nd class stamp (all they are worth) and get a free Certificate of Posting from the post office.
    • Yes that looks fine. It is to the point. I think somewhere in the that the you might want to point out that your parcel had been delivered but clearly had been opened and resealed and the contents had been stolen
    • Hi All, I just got in from work and received a letter dated 24 April 2024. "We've sent you a Single Justice Procedure notice because you have been charged with an offence, on the Transport for London Network." "You need to tell us whether you are guilty or not guilty. This is called making your plea."
    • Okay please go through the disclosure very carefully. I suggest that you use the technique broadly in line with the advice we give on preparing your court bundle. You want to know what is there – but also very importantly you want to know what is not there. For instance, the email that they said they sent you before responding to the SAR – did you see that? Is there any trace of of the phone call that you made to the woman who didn't know anything about SAR's? On what basis was the £50 sent to you? Was it unilateral or did they offer it and you accepted it on some condition? When did they send you this £50 cheque? Have you banked it? Also, I think that we need to start understanding what you have lost here. Have you lost any money – and if so how much? Send the SAR to your bank as advised above
    • In anticipation of lodging my court claim next Weds 1 May (14 days after advising P2G that was my deadline for them to settle my claim) I have completed my first draft POC as below: Claim Claim number: xxxxx Reference: P2G MAY 2024   Claimant xxxxx   Defendant Parcel2Go 1A Parklands Lostock Bolton BL6 4SD  Particulars of Claim The defendant has failed to arrange for the safe delivery of the claimant's parcel containing a 8 secondhand golf clubs (valued at £265) that was sent to a UK address using their delivery service (P2G Reference xxxxx). The defendant contracted Evri to deliver the parcel (Evri Reference xxxxx) and refuses to reimburse the claimant on the grounds that the claimant did not purchase their secondary insurance contract. The defendant seeks to exclude their liability in breach of section 57 Consumer Rights Act. The secondary insurance contract is in breach of section 72. The claimant seeks reimbursement of £265, plus P2G fees of £9.10, plus postage costs for two first class letters to P2G of £2.70, plus court fees, plus interest. The claimant claims interest under section 69 of the County Courts Act 1984 at the rate of 8% a year from xxxxx to xxxxxx on £276.80 and also interest at the same rate up to the date of judgment or earlier payment at a daily rate of £xxxx   Details of claim Amount claimed £276.80 I look forward to your thoughts and comments guys! As ever, many thanks - G59

    • 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, I've just joined to see if anyone can give me advice on fixed penalty notices.

I was given one today for throwing a cig dimp on the floor - wrong I know, I was in a rush. Anyway the council guy was on his own and materialised from nowhere. He approached me inside the reception area of my office block in front of everyone - embarresing especially as my boss was there. Other people were smoking and throwing dimps outside but he completely ignored them.

He then located my office afterwards and asked for my FPN to make an ammendment - he'd put tomorrows date on it, which he corrected.

He also has put on it that I threw the dimp outside the adjacent building, not the one I actually did. He took no pictures that im aware of and was alone.

Is he allowed to approach inside the building, are the errors he made on the FPN ok and is it normal that he approaches the only female and ignores the others who were smoking?

Also and probably the one im most concearned at is the fact that he tracked my office down, I never told him what floor I was on or the name of the company I work for!

Can I appeal this - do I have a case?

Any advice would be appreciated, expecially as I am skint at the moment and payday is after the 14days have elapsed so I am pretty concearned.

moved to parking/traffic forum

 

Litter is not really a parking issue but will attempt to help any way.

 

The penalty is issued under the Enviromental Protection Act 1990 which makes littering a criminal offence. As with all unlawful acts 'everyone else was doing it' is not a valid excuse to escape prosecution. You can raise the matter with the Council but it is unlikely to invalidate the fine. If the penalty is not paid the Council can prosecute you in Magistrates Court. The fixed penalty is similar in principle to a motoring FPN in that it is an offer to avoid Court by paying the fine if the FPN is incorrect or the details contained are wrong the Council could instead just decide to go to Court anyway, it is not like a Penalty Charge when they only get one bite at giving you a fine.

Hey there,

Thanks for all your replys, whilst I can understand that 'because everyone else' was doing it is not a valid excuse. My main concearn was the fact the the council guy traced me to my office to make an ammendment on the FPN and the fact that he did not stop anyone else (who were males).

I just thought it was a little strange.

I will grudgingly pay the fine as what I did was wrong, but why single one person out - to make an example?

And again the whole tracing my office down, I work in a sensitive environment and deal with vulnerable adults, I was in the middle of a case interview with one of our clients when he came to the office.

I don't mean to sound like im wingeing, but I couldn't beleive that he had the authority and audacity to do that, I provided him with my home address, Im sure he could of contacted me there.

Hi there

 

UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES did this council man have the right to enter you place of work and change the ticket!!!!!!

 

I issue traffic and public order tickets on a regular basis and whilst i wear a uniform with a number on my shoulder i will never pursue someone so that i may "Change" a FPN.

 

Do pay the fine as you have commited an offence, however i would certainly have cause for concern on this ticket issuer's authority to pursue you at work for this reason!!!

I wrote a letter to the council outlining my concearns to which they replied that as the receptionist told the guy where I worked and then my colleague asked him to wait in out little reception area that that was ok.

It also stated that the guy asked me to accompany him to the reception area of the building when he initially stopped me, which is an out and out lie, he stopped me inside the reception area then asked me to take a seat.

Im going to pay the fine tomorrow as the letter stated that the fine still stands, but am not happy with this.

 

Anyway everyone, thanks for your feedback.
