    • Hi, we are looking to get some opinions on weather or not to bother fighting this PCN. This comes from a very big retail park parking where there are restaurants, hotel, amongst other businesses. Apparently there is a max 3 hours limit which we were not aware of. This means taking kids to softplay and then having a meal on one of the restaurants will more than likely take you over the limit. Makes us wonder how they deal with people staying in the hotel as the ANPR seems to be in public street that leads to the different parking areas including the hotel.  1 Date of the infringement 26/05/2024 2 Date on the NTK  31/05/2024 3 Date received 07/06/2024 4 Does the NTK mention schedule 4 of The Protections of Freedoms Act 2012? [Y/N?]  YES 5 Is there any photographic evidence of the event? Entry and exit photos however, based on the photographs we are almost sure the photos are taken on public street. This is the location I believe photos are taken from.  https://maps.app.goo.gl/eii8zSmFFhVZDRpbA 6 Have you appealed? [Y/N?] post up your appeal] No Have you had a response? [Y/N?] post it up N/A 7 Who is the parking company? UKPA. UK Parking Administration LTD 8. Where exactly [carpark name and town] The Colonnades, Croydon, CR0 4RQ For either option, does it say which appeals body they operate under. British Parking Association (BPA) Thanks in advance for any assistance.  UKPA PCN The Collonades-redacted.pdf
    • Thank you for posting their WS. If we start with the actual WS made by the director one would have doubts that they had even read PoFA let alone understood it. Point 10  we only have the word of the director that the contract has been extended. I should have had the corroboration of the Client. Point 12 The Judge HHJ Simkiss was not the usual Judge on motoring cases and his decisions on the necessity of contracts did not align with PoFA. In Schedule 4 [1[ it is quite clearly spelt out- “relevant contract” means a contract (including a contract arising only when the vehicle was parked on the relevant land) between the driver and a person who is—(a)the owner or occupier of the land; or (b authorised, under or  by virtue of arrangements made by the owner or occupier of the land, to enter into a contract with the driver requiring the payment of parking charges in respect of the parking of the vehicle on the land; And the laughable piece of paper from the land owners cannot be described as a contract. I respectfully ask that the case be dismissed as there is no contract. WE do not even know what the parking regulations are which is really basic. It is respectfully asked that without a valid contract the case cannot continue. One would imagine that were there a valid contract it would have been produced.  So the contract that Bank has with the motorist must come from the landowner. Bank on their own cannot impose their own contract. How could a director of a parking company sign a Statement of Truth which included Point 11. Point 14. There is no offer of a contract at the entrance to the car park. Doubtful if it is even an offer to treat. The entrance sign sign does not comply with the IPC Code of Conduct nor is there any indication that ANPR cameras are in force. A major fault and breach of GDPR. Despite the lack of being offered a contract at the entrance [and how anyone could see what was offered by way of a contract in the car park is impossible owing to none of the signs in the WS being at all legible] payment was made for the car to park. A young person in the car made the payment. But before they did that, they helped an elderly lady to make her payment as she was having difficulty. After arranging payment for the lady the young lad made his payment right behind. Unfortunately he entered the old lady's number again rather than paying .for the car he was in. This can be confirmed by looking at the Allow List print out on page 25. The defendant's car arrived at 12.49 and at 12.51 and 12.52  there are two payments for the same vrm. This was also remarked on by the IPC adjudicator when the PCN was appealed.  So it is quite disgraceful that Bank have continued to pursue the Defendant knowing that it was a question of  entering the wrong vrm.  Point 21 The Defendant is not obliged to name the driver, they are only invited to do so under S9[2][e]. Also it is unreasonable to assume that the keeper is the driver. The Courts do not do that for good reason. The keeper in this case does not have a driving licence. Point 22. The Defendant DID make a further appeal which though it was also turned down their reply was very telling and should have led to the charge being dropped were the company not greedy and willing to pursue the Defendant regardless of the evidence they had in their own hands. Point 23 [111] it's a bit rich asking the Defendant to act justly and at proportionate cost while acting completely unjustly themselves and then adding an unlawful 70% on to the invoice. This  is despite PoFA S4[5] (5)The maximum sum which may be recovered from the keeper by virtue of the right conferred by this paragraph is the amount specified in the notice to keeper under paragraph 9[2][d].  Point 23 [1v] the Director can deny all he wants but the PCN does not comply with PoFA. S9 [2][a] states  (2)The notice must— (a)specify the vehicle, the relevant land on which it was parked and the period of parking to which the notice relates; The PCN only quotes the ANPR arrival and departure times which obviously includes a fair amount of driving between the two cameras. Plus the driver and passengers are a mixture of disabled and aged persons who require more time than just a young fit single driver to exit the car and later re enter. So the ANPR times cannot be the same as the required parking period as stipulated in the ACT. Moreover in S9[2][f]  (ii)the creditor does not know both the name of the driver and a current address for service for the driver, the creditor will (if all the applicable conditions under this Schedule are met) have the right to recover from the keeper so much of that amount as remains unpaid; You will note that in the PCN the words in parentheses are not included but at the start of Section 9 the word "must" is included. As there are two faults in the PCN it follows that Bank cannot pursue the keeper . And as the driver does not have a driving licence their case must fail on that alone. And that is not even taking into consideration that the payment was made. Point 23 [v] your company is wrong a payment was made. very difficult to prove a cash payment two weeks later when the PCN arrives. However the evidence was in your print out for anyone to see had they actually done due diligence prior to writing to the DVLA. Indeed as the Defendant had paid there was no reasonable cause to have applied for the keeper details. Point 24 the Defendant did not breach the contract. The PCN claimed the Defendant failed to make a payment when they had made a payment.   I haven't finished yet but that is something to start with
    • You don't appeal to anyone. You haven't' received a demand from a statutory body like the council, the police or the courts. It's just a dodgy cowboy company trying it on. You simply don't pay.  In the vast majority of these cases the company deforest the Amazon with threats about how they are going to divert a drone from Ukraine and make it land on your home - but in the end they do nothing.
    • honestly you sound like you work the claimant yes affixed dont appeal to anyone no cant be “argued either way”  
    • Because of the tsunami of cases we are having for this scam site, over the weekend I had a look at MET cases we have here stretching back to June 2014.  Yes, ten years. MET have not once had the guts to put a case in front of a judge. In about 5% of cases they have issued court papers in the hope that the motorist will be terrified of going to court and will give in.  However, when the motorist defended, it was MET who bottled it.  Every time.

    • 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.

Thanks for that Skyblue Dave that's sorted things for me now. I guess I'm so anxious about this whole sorry saga that I can't see the wood for the trees. Information Overload!!

 

It's good to see more and more new people joining Fuzzy's Posse though. Don't know what I would have done without this Forum and all the help from everyone. Think I'll be following Bluedo's advice too. :)

Hi, been away for a few weeks so just doing some catching up, great to see you guys are getting somewhere.

 

I have hit a brick wall, I received standard letters fobbing me off from BPF, I have now cancelled my DD payments to them and will be writting to the OFT and FOS on Sunday when I have time to sit down.

Hi,

 

I have paid my £200, this should be for a Solicitors letter to BPF, (more offical and using legal terms).

 

I would double check that this is what they are doing, as it maybe for something different as I am only a customer to them as well.

 

I would also recomend that everyone contacts BBC WATCHDOG as i know a few of us already have, and watchdog have asked for all our paperwork.

At least if watchdog look into this it's free research and they will know our rights and the legal obligations as they cannot go on tv saying what they like or they would be in a court case...

 

link below anyway!

Thanks! I have anyway this certain feeling that an official and using legal terms to BPF, won't help. It's worth trying but I know it won't help as I know there is an almost certain possibility that others before have tried.

In that case, its phase one complete, i will wait for the solicitor to get a letter back from BPF, if it is as expected I will enter phase two, which will be court proceedings.

 

the solicitor has sourced expert advice from a barrister on the matter so there is a stong case for me.

 

I have mentioned to everyone before that they should be following to reduce cost if we unite, i'm not sure how many have taken this up?

Lets face it alot of people cannot afford to spend the additional money, i look at it that I cannot afford not too, so whats £500, £1000 costs if I get all my money back and no more trouble.

 

I'm sure BPF will sit there sending you generic letters till the end of time unless you are proactive.

 

Guys alot of quotes from people on this forum are becoming very much the same with not alot of new information, do you honestly think you are making progress without legal representation & and what chances do you expect for getting money back without been represented by a prefessional body?

 

Those of you paying by direct debit to barclays, can you afford to do that for the duration and not receive training that you ordered, this could all be a closed matter if we went to court or put pressure on them.

 

The more people that contact the solicitor I had sourced the cheaper it will be for EVERYONE!!!!!!!!

I mean £500-550 is my currant monthly salary, and thats what its costing for starting the legal proceedings so its way too much for someone like me to even comprehend. I would if I could but I am holding on for CAG, Fuzzbutt and also possibly Watchdog to start kicking them in the rear. I am pretty broke and have a dependent. I am already in my overdraw this month and have no money to even get my wife a £20 gift. So I will have to wait till next pay day which is after her birthday to buy her something.

 

So if I am struggling for £20 to buy a gift you can imagine that there are many more people in the same predicament. The Solicitors is a great idea for those who have a little on the side but for many here its a struggle and don't have much money. Most are trying to find another way to resolve this without having to pay more than they already have. I can understand where you are coming from, and I would spend that to get rid of all this mess, but its just not a option.

Hi aaron,

 

how can I get in touch with this solicitor? I only sent my info to Fuzzbut but am not sure if it is the same. BPF received my letter today, however they r still calling me, now even 10 times a day, but i refuse to answer as I emailed them to communicate with me only in writing.

 

really tired of it.

For all those getting bombarded with BPF calls...

They are breaking guildlines for reasonable contact!

Complain to them in writing and also FO. [they will be fined]

And insist on contact in writing only.

They are only bonus hunters and target achievers from BPF call centres.

Or you can waste their time and keep them talking,

They soon get fed up [they would rather move onto another number and hope someone will cave in or be intimidated to handing money over the phone - targets and bonus's]

You are not criminals.If they wanted to take you to court, they would have to send you month's worth of default notice letters [ thats the law]

Even if it got to court - you are means tested on your income.

Stand up to them and put in a letter of dispute.Lets face it do they want to take everyone to court.

Seems like they are trying to get in as much money as possible before the whole thing comes down like a deck of cards.

Everyone who emailed the fuzzbutt email is on the list and the action is a no win no fee, so free to us.

Knowing a lot of people are getting hassle from Barclays now, I asked the legal team what can people do in the short term until this comes together.

 

Advice:

For any urgent legal advice regarding your loan contact the Office of Fair Trading's consumer helpline, Consumer Direct on 08454 04 05 06 or email via its website at Consumer Direct .

 

You can also contact your local Citizens Advice Bureau (CAB) for help if you feel Barclays is unfairly demanding repayment now. Explain the situation and tell them you are seeking legal advice as to your rights –the CAB’s can oversee that the credit controllers are acting in accordance with best practice and intercede on behalf of individual students.

 

Barclays is a subscriber to the now called Lending Standards Board at Lending Standards Board formerly the Banking code standards board.

Lending Standards Board

157. Where a not-for-profit debt advice agency has formally notified a subscriber that the customer is in serious discussion with them on a draft debt repayment plan then the subscriber should suspend collections activity related to the customer’s current account, credit card and/or unsecured personal loan while these discussions continue, provided that they are concluded within 30 days.

158. In exceptional circumstances where discussions are progressing but have not been concluded within the initial 30 days the debt advice agency can ask the subscriber for an additional 30 days breathing space.

thank you all for your supportive words, i really need them, i can't go on like this for much longer. and thanks for the wonderfull job you are doing.

 

I will def donate money once this is all over.

 

Hi Maygav,

It all get's a bit confusing you get overloaded with info and the stress makes it difficult to take things in.

I noticed you said you had emailed Fuzzbutt so you'll be on the list for the class action that's being organised.That will cost you Nothing as funding is organised by the legal team. They have explained how this is done by insurers. So we win Barclays pay we lose The insurer pays.

 

No disrespect to A4ron but to pay £200 then costs for the court between £500-£1000 or whatever it will be can be out of our league when you can be excellantly represented for Free. Sorry A4ron but easy choice for me. I've enough hassle from BPF chasing me for money without having someone else in the queue wanting paid.

Thanks Fuzzbutt for the info and guidance above I'll certainly be following that advice up.

Also thank you for all the work you're doing organising all this and the hours and hours you've kindly put in for our benefit. We'll give them a fight they think they're untouchable, arrogant B@!!tids They said.... "Further, we don't consider that section 75 of the Consumer Credit Act 1974 operates to make the agreement invalid in any way and accordingly your obligations under the loan agreement continue" Huh!! they think not.

Surely that is down to a judge or the FOS/OFT to decide?:confused:

 

This Barclays lot really are unreal aren't they.

 

I have a little bit of news that may bring a smile to some faces. I have a friend who works in the financial sector and they were telling me today that they managed to convince two Barclays customers to move their accounts to the financial institution that they work for.

 

A little victory but a victory none the less! ;)

hey Bluedo,

 

yea it is very stressfull and I am thinking of all possibilities. I actualy saw a solicitor and he wrote a letter for me which they have received today. my situation is a bit different, i have been trying to cancel this course since october, but they have rudely ignored me, sent them few emails and nothing, so my letter states that i have not been receiveing any services since then and them going into administration is just another argument of why they should terminate my contract. And only requesting money back since october, quite a lot actualy. So I am hoping( and praying) that will work. I just want out of it.

 

so I will see, where to go from here, I too do not have money to spent on solicitors, since I paid "only" £2300, and may spend more on them :confused:.

 

lets hope it does not last long, Fraser students were waiting for 8 months.

Hi Maygav,

I hope not it'll depend if Barclays dig their heels in and how the courts deal with it we'll just have to wait see what happens meantime get the accounts in dispute and Lowdown gave some good advice above so we'll be ok :)
