    • next time dont upload 19 single page pdfs use the sites listed on upload to merge them into one multipage pdf.. we aint got all day to download load single page files 2024-01-15 DBCLegal SAR.pdf
    • If you have not kept the original PCN you can always send an SAR to Excel and they have to send you all the info they have on you within a month. failure to do so can lead to you being able to sue them for their failure.......................................nice irony.
    • Thank you and well done  for posting up all those notices it must have have taken you ages.. The entrance sign is very helpful since the headline states                    FREE PARKING FOR CUSTOMERS ONLY in capitals with not time limit mentioned. Underneath and not in capitals they then give the actual times of parking which would not be possible to read when driving into the car park unless you actually stopped and read them. Very unlikely especially arriving at 5.30 pm with possibly other cars behind. On top of that the Notice goes on to say that the terms and conditions are inside the car park so the entrance sign cannot offer a contract it is merely an offer to treat. Inside the car park the signs are mostly too high up and the font size too small to be able to read much of their signs. DCBL have not shown a single sign that can be read on their SAR. Although as they show photographs which were taken the year after your alleged breach we do not know what the signs were when you were there. For instance the new signs showed the charge was then £100 whereas your PCN was for £85. Who knows, when you were there perhaps the time was for 3 hours. They were asked to produce  planning permission which would have been necessary for the ANPR cameras alone and didn't do so. Nor did they provide a copy of the contract-DCBL  "deeming them disproportionate or not relevant to the substantive issues in the dispute" How arrogant and untruthful is that? The contract and planning permission could be vital to having the claim thrown out. I can find no trace of planning permission for the signs nor the cameras on Tonbridge Council planning portal. and the contract of course is highly relevant since some contracts advise the parking rouges that they cannot take motorists to Court. I understand that Europarks are now running that car park which means that nexus didn't  last long before being thrown out.....................................
    • Hi,   I am not sure if I posted this already here but I don't think I did. I attach a judgement that raises very interesting points IMO. Essentially EVRi did their usual non attendance that we normally see, however the judge (for the first time I've seen in these threads) dismissed the notice and awarded me judgement by default because their notice misses the "confirmation of compliance" paragraph. in and out in 3 minutes (aside from the chat at the end with the judge about his problems with evri) Redacted - evri CPR loss.pdf
    • Just to update this. I did apply to strikeout and they did not attend the hearing. I won by defualt and the hearing lasted 5 minutes (court only allocated 15). The judge simply explained that the only matter he was really considering is if the Defendant could have any oral evidence to defend the claim. However he said he had decided that based on their defence, and their misunderstanding of law, and their non attendence he did not think they had any reasonsable chance so he awarded me SJ + Costs on the claim form + the strikeout fee. Luckily when I sent the defendant the order I woke up the next day to a wire trasnfer for the full sum of the judgement

    • 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 everyone,

 

I too have just recived a letter from Mackenzie Hall stating that they are trying to contact me on 'a personal matter'. There is no mention of any debt in the letter at all. After reading the rest of these posts is it safe to assume that this is just a fishing exercise on their part and can be safely ignored? Like some people here, I did have a loan and credit card that i walked away from around 7 years ago which resulted in a CCJ but since then no correspondance has been entered into with the repective banks or credit card company. I have sent off for my credit file just to check that there isn't anything on there that I'm not aware of.

 

It seems that I might be reciving a small red postcard next, and unless any figure or debt is mentioned i shall ignore that as well. I am planning to send the letter posted earlier in this tread should they continue and/or mention a debt or court action but untill then I'm planning to stay quiet.

 

Would anyone have any advise as to whether this is the best course of action? I'm guessing that alot of other people have had similar issues with this company and I'd be interested to hear what happend in their case.

 

Thanks in advance for your help.

 

Regards,

 

Ed

CCJs are not subject to the Limitation Act, but they have their own rules around enforcement. If the letter from Mackenzie Hall is about a debt that whet to CCJ please tell us when the Judgement was entered.

Thanks Zooman,

 

As of yet though there has been no mention or reference of any debt at all. The letter just states that they would like to contact me on 'a personal matter'. Is it safe to ignore this and wait for them to actually mention a specific debt?

 

The CCJ judgement would have been put in place around 1998/99

 

Thanks,

 

Ed

Bizarre letter!

Like the person on this string said they were "Attempting to contact the above person or any member of his/her family (they should know my gender) about a personal matter."

 

The letter is addressed to "The Occupier" then lists my name and my address below it! Surely they know! Again, no mention of debt, no website address and the printed, rather than signed signature, leads me to suspect it is some kind of [problem] OR just some automated system to catch people they presume were born yesterday. Very suspicious...

 

Personal matter? His/her family? If they are debt collection they normally say so. If they are soliciters they say so. I smell a rat...:confused:

I have just received a letter form MH about "matters personal". I was instantly suspicious when I saw the term "investigation team" and there were loads of visa/credit card symbols at the bottom of the letter. I did a Yell search for debt collection agencies and ,yup,there they were. I phoned them up (instantly regretting it as I put the phone down) and told them that I did not exist at that address. I have walked away from debt but they were about 9/10 years ago. Am I still liable for them?

Depends whetehr you had a CCJ or not, and when you last acknowlefdged them by either making payment or in writing to creditor. If there is no CCj then they are statute barred which means you still owe the money but it cannot be enforced, if there is CCJ then you will always be laible as it is a court order.

So how do I go about finding if there is a CCJ. Do I just go to the County Court and ask them?

 

They are registered here RTL Home for six years and I do not know how you find out about before then, but if you use the trust contact details I am sure they can point you in the right direction.

Technically a CCJ never lapses until its satisfied but if it doesn't show up on your credit file it strengthens your hand because the muppets at Mackenzie Hall will have tio go to court and persuade a judge to renew it.

 

From what you say it sounds very much as if our mates from Ayrshire are on a fishing trip and if Mackenzie Hall say there is a CCJ they will have to provide details it exists, simple as that.

Hello, just been sent the MacKenzie Hall "We are attempting to contact the above named person regarding a personal matter" letter.

 

Probably like a lot of people was tempted to call in to have a go and give them the whole 6 years thing (the only debt it could be is circa 1996). But thanks to this site had second thoughts a put the letter in it's correct place, the bin.

 

Anyway just wondering if anyone knows how MH generate these letters and where they source there info from?

 

Reason I ask if that I normally reside overseas and in the last 8 years have only returned to the UK for more than a visit (ie for 6months plus) on 2 occassions and it just seems that each time I do return I get the same letter. Possible a coincidence, or maybe something more sinister?
