    • I have received a PCN from Euro Car Parks for MFG - Esso Cobham - Gravesend. I was completely unaware that there was any such limit for parking and always considered this to be a service station. I stopped there to use the toilet, have a coffee and made a couple of work calls. I have read the previous topics on this location which suggest I can ignore this and ECP will not take legal action. The one possible complication is that the vehicle is leased by my employer so I do not want to involve them with the associated reminders and threatening letters. The PCN was first issued to the leasing company Arval who have notified ECP of the hiring company. I have attached a copy of the PCN Notice to Hirer with details removed as per instructions. What options do I have or should I just pay the PCN promptly at the reduced rate of £60? img20240424_23142631.pdf
    • What you have uploaded is a letter with daft empty threats from third-party paper tigers.  Just ignore it. What we need to see is the original invoice you received last October or November.
    • Thanks for posting the CPR contents. i do wish you hadn't blanked out the dates and times since at times they can be relevant . Can you please repost including times and dates. They say that they sent a copy of  the original  PCN that they sent to the Hirer  along with your hire agreement documents. Did you receive them and if so can you please upload the original PCN without erasing dates and times. If they did include  all the paperwork they said, then that PCN is pretty near compliant except for their error with the discount time. In the Act it isn't actually specified but to offer a discount for 14 days from the OFFENCE is a joke. the offence occurred probably a couple of months prior to you receiving your Notice to Hirer.  Also the words in parentheses n the Act have been missed off. Section 14 [5][c] (c)warn the hirer that if, after the period of 21 days beginning with the day after that on which the notice to hirer is given, the amount of unpaid parking charges referred to in the notice to keeper under paragraph 8(2)(f) or 9(2)(f) (as the case may be) has not been paid in full, the creditor will (if any applicable requirements are met) have the right to recover from the hirer so much of that amount as remains unpaid; Though it states "if any applicable ...." as opposed to "if all applicable......" in Section 8 or 9. Maybe the Site could explain what the difference between the two terms mean if there is a difference. Also on your claim form they keeper referring to you as the driver or the keeper.  You are the Hirer and only the Hirer is responsible for the charge EVEN IF THEY WEREN'T THE DRIVER. So they cannot pursue the driver and nowhere in the Hirer section of the Act is the hirer ever named as the keeper so NPC are pursuing the wrong person.

    • 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.

you are correct - but it has never been overturned - and the other cases you have quoted are different to Hurstanger. Hurstanger is about secret, undeclared, commissions paid to brokers.

 

It was decided that in Hurstanger the commission wasn't secret and the fact that commission had been paid was disclosed, just the amount wasn't disclosed. Which means the facts are the same as in Sealey. And a broker was involved in both cases.

Btw I have a copy of the judgment in Hurstanger (doesn't everyone LOL!) But only the review of Sealey. Was it a reported case? Can we get the full transcript?

Thats easily answered, GCSE law covers this. Best not to rely on that though.

 

I like all of the bits, especially your bravery, and I take your point, you didn't do it for the money. However, unlike you I wouldn't have £12K to throw away on litigation.

 

12K has not been thrown away - the defendant won and as far as i can make out has not had costs awarded against her.

As an avid follower of this thread from the start, and having been in lengthy correspondence with, and received a great deal of helpful advice from Wannabedebtfreesoon, I am quite disappointed, that in what effectively is her "hour of glory" people are being picky and argumentative - This thread should remain as a reference in "how to do it" nothing else, come on guys (or gals) this is a victory for WBDFS AND CAG! Lets all enjoy it!

Agree - it seems some others may have dfferent motives.

Is the fat lady singing? No? Then this isn't over and the celebrations are a little premature. Best put the vimto back on ice until the next (presumably last) hearing. As for "hour of glory" you need a new calendar, not a new clock.

 

And what do you know about it? the case has been won.

 

It's just down to confrmation from the CC - if they again come up with an incorrect ruline it will not be the last hearing as an apeal would still be allowed.

Wow, it's getting a bit unfriendly on here eh? I never thought that would happen!

I think perhaps my point is being overlooked a little; the details of the conclusion of this claim are immaterial. I have my victory and whatever happens from here on forward matters very little to me.

 

*I have lost count of the number of times I have said that I wasn't in this for the money!*

*I have been to High Court as an LiP and bowed in front of the UK's best academic lawyer*

*I have a High Court Judgment with my name on it that says a creditor is not permitted to repossess a car from private property without a court order and that causation is not a defence to the payment of secret commission with the applicable case law being Hurstanger*

 

dbabylon, you are very welcome to argue that this case hasn't been fully concluded as often as you like if that's what makes you feel good, but I can assure you without question, it makes no odds to me in the slightest. I have achieved what I set out to achieve- I told them it was unlawful to take my car off my drive but they insisted they could. It turns out I was right and they were wrong after all, what more could a girl want......?? :oops:

Hi Wannabe,

 

You got what you set out to do - confirmation of the ulawful act of repossession. As you have always stated this was not about getting money but actually proving the point of law.

 

I wish you well for the upcoming CC hearing

 

You now have a High Court judgement that can now be used by others in a similar position.

 

For this alone we owe you a debt of gratitude for seeing this through

 

Take care of yourself and the family, you can relax more now with your children and I am sure they are proud of you

 

G

Thank you all for understanding and supporting me through this. It is very true, I gave them the opportunity after the High Court hearing to walk away and I wouldn't have taken a penny out of it, they refused my offer so what more could I have done to prove I was only ever interested in fairness??? I'll see it through to the bitter end now simply because they chose to refuse my very generous offer and still refuse to accept they ever did anything wrong.

It's apparently the Lord Justice that was wrong now and they want to go before a different Lord Justice to try to get a different result.....??!!! Hmmm ok

 

All they ever had to do was say they were wrong and apologise but THEY made the decision not to offer that.... :noidea:

Good morning Wanna

And what an incredibly fine morning it is. I spent the whole night out here on these moors, a venture that I haven’t undertaken for quite some time, I was doing my ‘midnight club’ thing, although I kept it to myself and did not post it on the forums, and I happened to look in upon your story (I had seen your case previously, from way back, although not posting of course, however, I was interested to learn of the progress that you were making and the developments of the case as the proceedings were commenced) again.

As I am sure you are aware, indeed you laid the path upon which you travelled this journey, all things have a purpose and fate continued, as it always does, to play its part along the long, long pathway mapped out by yourself and laid so skilfully that the said passage offers great security and comfort for all others who should find themselves suffering as you did at the hands of those blasted creditors, whom I liken to wild horses running across our fine land trampling upon the lives of good and decent folk and pulling their coaches (the dca’s a vehicle recovery agents and the like) behind them driving right through the very heart of the innocent and the heart of justice.

I find it very hard to believe that this time is indeed the 21st Century; injustice is still swifter than the deliverance of justice and so I would say that time could not possibly have moved on.

Anyway, before I completely go insane and detract from your wonderful true life story and delightful fairy tale ending, I would like to offer my sincere ‘This is Sparta’ admiration of your superb warrior skills and most excellent defeat of the army that placed your household under assault.

Godzilla to your most excellent work.

Kind regards

The Mould

Hi all - and congratulations to Wannabe - I expect you're taking time off from reading this thread - what fortitude and strength you have.

Who's up for another? - lol. I'll give you the bare bones and start a proper thread somewhere. I too have a car on finance and have gotten behind with payments follwing a redundancy and surviving now on benefits. Finance house would not re-negotiate payment level. Refused to discuss it but sent threatening letters to recover vehicle. Sent DN followed by Termination Notice. Sent Notice to Recover. Having paid more than half of the contract I wrote back stating they had better have a court order before attempting recovery. Finance Co filed in court immediately for possession. I defended in full. The DN was defective and the DJ agreed - he dismissed their claim but with general liberty to restore. Next move is mine but I want to clarify this point please. If the DN is invalid doesnt that also mean that the Termination Notice is also invalid, or, is an unlawfull recission of contract? thanks

An agreement cannot be terminated on the back of a faulty DN - so the agreement is still live. Forget the unlawfull recission arguement.

Guest repo threat

What is more, the claim has been dismissed not adjudicated upon. They only have to issue a fresh DN and a fresh Termination Notice and then they can issue further claim.

I think Mr Mould would disagree with you there DoH. Hopefully he will see these posts and comment. I am sure it us somewhere further up this thread, but unfortunately haven't got time to go looking just now. Campari2, you should start your own thread and put a link to it in here.

Agree that it would help the OP to start their own thread - Once they have done that if they click the black triangle they can ask a member of the site team to move any relevant posts to the new thread, thye should oblige - they are generally good old sticks.

 

Ian - i understand Mr Mould would disagree - but my advice is based on case law - Mr Moulds is, as yet, only his opinion, unless someone can quote me case law that says otherwise.. Untill Case law backs up his arguements my advice is to go with current case law - as decided on by both the Court of Appeal and the High Court.
