    • 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.

Yesterday I had a recovery agent attempt to collect my car, I was under the impression that they could not take it off private property without my permission and without serving a default notice and termination notice.

 

I called the police for assistance but when they arrived they immediately sided with the driver and allowed him to take it off my property with no such documents.

 

If I am mistaken in my beliefs here please would somebody knowledgeable in the legalities give me some advice before I take this any further.

 

Many thanks

"OK"

 

i went through this situation about 2 years ago.

 

some people will ask you about how much of the vehicle have you paid.

being a third or under is totally irrelavent,

if they removed the vehicle from the roadside then you lose, but being from your private property you win.

 

to remove the vehicle from your private property they 100% need a court order and then it is the court who remove the vehicle and surrender the vehicle to the collection agents.

 

what you need to do is contact the police again and get the officers attending names and badge numbers.

make an appointment to see the station chief super then voice your concerns that you have reason to believe that the attending officers may have assisted in a crime ( be polite and calm at all times)

 

DO NOT accept the civil law crap they tend to spiel out, inform the chief super that you will give them 28 days to investigate your complaint and if they do not comply you will make a complaint to the IPCC independant police complaints commission.

 

also insist on a crime number as a crime has been committed.

Once the IPCC are involved they start to bend over backwards to correct themselves.

Hello Cab, thank you sooo much for that information. I just wanted to be absolutely 100% sure before I went any further with this.

 

I took the name and badge number at the time because I was so outraged at his attitude in the first place! Did I mention that we made a video of the whole incident?? No matter what I told him, (calmly and politely!), his only responses were; "I don't care" and "I'm not interested"!

Sorry, can I ask how they "corrected themselves" in your situation please??

 

OK I just called up the station to make an appointment, they wouldn't make me an appointment saying that they have a formal complaints procedure and needed to take details first.

 

I gave them all the details and they are going to try to get in touch with somebody and will call me back.:confused:

I have also been through this situation. Cab is correct when he says that a court order is needed.

 

I pursued the company involved and eventually (it was a long and stressful process) settled out of court with them the day before the hearing for all the monies I had paid on the agreement prior to the reposession (nearly £4000).

 

Unlike you, however I had been served with a default notice.

My sole argument was that the car was reposessed illegally.

The company involved never admitted illegal reposession but were too afraid to go to court to defend it.

 

This was about 3 years ago but I still have all the correspondence to them and their solicitors, papers sent to the court etc and would be happy to share any of the details should it help.

 

I did this on my own with some very gratefully received help from people on this site.

If I can do it then anybody can!

 

I personally wouldn't get to hung up on the police thing.

They will treat as a civil matter and won't want to get too involved.

That is only my personal opinion, however

 

. I would concentrate on getting justice from the finance company who had your car reposessed.

 

Your car has been unlawfully reposessed and you can do something about it if you are willing to fight it.

 

As I said before if I can help.....

 

Good Luck

I am more than willing to fight it!! I have another thread on the welcome finance forum where I am trying to do something to make them accountable for their abominable actions! I won't let this go and would be so grateful for any input you could give, considering you've been through this yourself.

I can't thank you enough for your support :)

if less than a third has been paid, the finance co can do a repo, be it on your property or roadside

 

if more than a third has been paid, the finance co would need a court order and then only a county court baliff can do the repo. be it on the road or drive

 

the finance co or recovery agent has no say in it

My experience wasn't with welcome....although I have had that misfortune with personal loans:mad:. Common knowledge that are a pain to deal with in any capacity

 

I am at work now but when I get home will dig out my stuff on my case, blow the dust off it and see what parts of it may be of use to you.

might be an idea for you to give a few more details

 

1. when did you take the car finance out?

2. how long was it over? (usually 3 or 4 years)

3. How many months correct payments did you make and when did these stop?

4. anything else that you think might be useful

1.the situation is now recorded on police files.

2. 2 police officers for witnesses and/or full statements.

3. full written appoligies.

 

 

a creditor will find that he is in deep sh*t if they take you to court.

I originally took the agreement out in june 2006 and had it modified in May 2007. Based solely on the 2nd agreement I have paid £190 short of the third, my argument with them is that they did not serve a DN, terminated the agreement whilst keeping it active and then repossessed the car off private property.

 

I have read elsewhere that irrespective of the third being paid they are not permitted to take a car off private property without my permission. This was also verified by the first recovery agent they sent who came for the car and then didn't take it because he said he couldn't take it off my drive without my permission.

 

I'm getting a little confused now, I'm not sure what is legal and what is not :confused:

no dis-respect post. but i can assure you that if the vehicle is on private property they can not repo the vehicle without the courts.

Wow! If I could achieve that I'd be over the moon!

So they definitely can't legally take it off private property? Sorry, I just want to be sure. I've just had a phonecall from a sergeant saying I can't see a chief super I have to see him. I've made an appointment to go in on monday at 4pm.

This is section 92 of the Act, does this apply??

 

92 Recovery of possession of goods or land

 

(1) Except under an order of the court, the creditor or owner shall not be entitled to enter any premises to take possession of goods subject to a regulated hire-purchase agreement, regulated conditional sale agreement or regulated consumer hire agreement.
