    • Yep let us have a good laugh eh from today’s Telegraph 🤣😂🤣 the rest must try harder    Farage won Friday’s election debate, a poll finds Nigel Farage won Friday night’s seven-way BBC election debate, according to a poll.  A snap poll of 1,031 voters by More in Common found most thought Mr Farage won the debate, followed by Angela Rayner. Mr Farage received 25 per cent of the vote while Ms Rayner received 19 per cent. The Green Party’s Carla Denyer was the third most popular with 11 per cent, Stephen Flynn for SNP received 10 per cent and Penny Mordaunt, the leader of the House of Commons, took 7 per cent of the vote. Daisy Cooper, the deputy leader of the Liberal Democrats and Plaid Cymru’s Rhun ap Iorwerth took 5 per cent and 2  per cent respectively. The debate saw Britain’s main seven political parties clash ahead of the general election on July 4.  Mr Farage, who returned to frontline politics for Reform this week and is standing as an MP in Clacton, challenged his political rivals on immigration and net zero policies.
    • Hi CAG Team, I'm seeking your skills and help for a NtK my partner received through the post earlier this week. To give a little backstory, my partner and I, along with our young children (4 and 7), decided to go on a camping holiday about 3 hours away from us. We took a car each because we didn't have enough room in one car. We arrived at the services at very similar times as we followed each other the whole way. So, two cars. My partner has received this NtK, but I haven't. This NtK dropped through the front door on Wednesday, June 5, 2024.  We both parked in the Burger King car park, not in BP; we got out, all went for a toilet break, got some food from the BP garage and returned to our cars to eat.  After eating, we took the kids to the toilet again before leaving to complete our journey. I didn't notice any parking restriction signs and can't get back to the location due to how far away it is. I noticed another person had an issue here and reported it to you, and they managed to get the fine dropped. See below. To me, it looks like they have cameras at the complex's entrance and exit. I'm not sure if they own the land/car park by Burger King, so I'm not sure if this is a legal contract or not.  I find that 30 mins limit at a Services that serves hot food to be ridiculous and unfair, especially as we had kids to feed and water.  And the fact that I didn't receive the same NtK despite us driving in and out together is just crazy. This is the location - I also uploaded a map image. Google Maps MAPS.APP.GOO.GL ★★★☆☆ · Restaurant   1 Date of the infringement 24th May 2024   2 Date on the NTK [this must have been received within 14 days from the 'offence' date] 29th May 2024   3 Date received 5th June 2024   4 Does the NTK mention schedule 4 of The Protections of Freedoms Act 2012? [Y/N?] N   5 Is there any photographic evidence of the event? Y - Only entering and exiting the complex/land.   6 Have you appealed? [Y/N?] post up your appeal] N   7 Who is the parking company? MET   8. Where exactly [carpark name and town] BP Blue Boys, Tonbridge TN12 7HE   For either option, does it say which appeals body they operate under. POPLA Anyway, I hope you can help me out with some guidance on how to proceed with this. Let me know if you need anything else. Thank you, Passerby0233 2024-06-08 13_17_52-Burger King - Google Maps — Mozilla Firefox.pdf NtK_29-05-2024.compressed.pdf

The sum of £7925 What is the total value of the claim? £8481 Have you received prior notice of a claim being issued pursuant to paragraph 3 of the PAPDC (Pre Action Protocol) ? No Have you changed your address since the time at which the debt referred to in the claim was allegedly incurred? Yes Did you inform the claimant of your change of address? I believe I sent a letter by registered mail of a change in address to abroad in 2021. Is the claim for - a Bank Account (Overdraft) or credit card or loan or catalogue or mobile phone account? Credit card When did you enter into the original agreement before or after April 2007 ? After Do you recall how you entered into the agreement...On line /In branch/By post ? Online Is the debt showing on your credit reference files (Experian/Equifax /Etc...) ?

The claim letter was sent to my parents address and I really don't want them to be harassed about this. I am sure I sent the original creditor a registered letter with my change of address but can't find this currently. I am not in a position to pay this, and tend to come back to the UK to see family at most once a year (less since Covid),  not particular bothered about my financial score...more concerned about harassment of my parents. I have not registered on the gov gateway or anything like that.  Details below (as best as i can), and thank you for taking the time to look into it.

    • While we wait for someone to explain how farage is any better than sunak  .. if not worse   One of many likely upcoming belly laughs   Reform chairman Richard Tice has accused the Tories of (reform like) “dirty tricks” after one of his party’s candidates withdrew his papers to stand at the last minute and endorsed former cabinet minister Sir Gavin Williamson. In a dramatic final 24 hours before nominations closed there had been fevered speculation that as many as six Tory MPs and other candidates could defect to Reform after Nigel Farage decided to stand in Clacton and become leader. But instead no Tories switched and Tom Wellings, the Reform candidate for the new seat of Stone, Great Wryly and Penkridge in Staffordshire, quit and put out a statement endorsing Sir Gavin.   Who does he think he is an Anderson, a Carswell !!! was heard at the reform HQ pub ... as Candidate brushed aside by Farage in clacton to run as an independent    Tice accuses Tories of ‘dirty tricks’ to persuade Reform candidates to stand down WWW.INDEPENDENT.CO.UK Exclusive: A furious row has broken out after a Reform candidate’s last minute defection to the Tories   :ROFL

    • 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.

Well it would be very nice to see the full case details but that clearly is not going to happen and from the way it is written would guess that devereparkinghater was on the wacky backy when writing his rant

 

To reasure those who may be taken in by his rant I have safely ignored several PPC's. On the few occasions they have used follow up telephone calls have invited them to take me to court with no success so far. This only happens rarely after all their invoices and letters have failed to get a response and if they are getting desperate.

 

Ignore is the best treatment for these modern highwaymen (carparkmen) as they normally just give up and go away because they know they cannot win in court if you defend the case.

Case number is ...... I would be grateful if any of you have a shred of decency not to publish my home address.

 

And yes I lost and paid as I didn't want a CCJ or the grief of being harassed.

 

And my Name is ....., not ...

.

You lot make it up as you go along.

 

Why is everybody doubted?

 

Is it because you think by ignoring things they will go away?

 

Not everybody works for a clamping company.

 

I can't understand it.

How do you know, Homer?

 

My best, HB

 

Mainly because he just admitted it in post #28 on this thread with an even more outrageous claim/rant/lie.

 

The OP just needs to ignore this berk and he will go away like the rest of the bottom feeding PPC losers.

 

Devere was indeed the posh couple in To The Manor Born, methinks Lee has delusions of grandeur

And to complete the set I went to small claims court on the first ever PPC ticket I received. I won. Not because the PPC failed to show but because I had a well-prepared, valid defence.

 

Whilst your frustration is understandable, its unfair blame other posters here for your misfortune when you did not give them the opportunity to provide specific advice to you in the first place. Besides even a cursory search through threads will have shown that "ignore" is not the entirety of the advice which suggests that, unfortunately, you went under-prepared.

Ignore is still the best advice and works in 99.9% of cases (except Mr Trolls put up job !!)

 

In my opinion Devere appear to be rank amateurs in the world of PPC make believe, ignore them with extra scorn !!

The Owner of Devere is a guy called Lee and he lives in the Poole Area.

 

After further research I have also found out he is an ex or an existing magistrate at Poole Borough Council.

 

Also I must state having received a Parking ticket from these clowns I have ignored it to this day and haven't heard a peep out of them.

  • 3 weeks later...

Court papers received- I would love some help with a defence

 

I received a letter from devere parking services back in August and I ignored it following advice from this page.

 

The letter stated the vehicle I owned was parked in a disabled bay without displaying correctly a disabled badge.

The badge was displayed but overlapping the lil clock and therefore part of the text was unreadable.

 

I did nothing and heard nothing,

 

unfortunately I have now received another similar fine for the same offence.

 

My mum is quite elderly and I am certainly not passing this on to her as the disabled badge holder to deal with.

 

The letters come to me as I am the registered keeper of the vehicle and I am keen not to involve her if possible,

she is aware of this but not the court papers.

 

The court papers state that the disabled badge used is a badge which used to belong to my late father

and Im quite surprised devere parking could access this information

surely this would be a breach of some data protection rule?

 

It would appear that out of sentiment my mum had retained his badge and has on occasions taken the wrong badge out of her handbag..

 

..I have now confiscated this.

 

She does have a badge and has owned one for over 20 years.

 

It is quite interesting that on the court papers the figures do not match the letter I received threatening court action about 2 weeks ago

but notify the court that in his opinion a deceased persons badge is being used

( I cannot deny this is possible on the basis he has my fathers old badge number and my mum was still carrying it )

 

She was not the driver of the vehicle on either occasion.

 

On the court papers it states I have ignored numerous letters when in fact I have only ever received one last year and one very recently.

(albeit i have had a issue with post going to a neighbour

and arriving in my letterbox when Im out

selotaped back up by the neighbour who likes to read my confidential mail

but hasnt the decency to bring it to me in person, another story, i digress )

 

I wish to dispute this case and attend court if necessary...

..I would greatly appreciate any help you can give me in getting a court response together along with what to do next.

 

I have to confess to only managing about three hours sleep last night worrying about this

so I feel Mr 'visions of grandeur' parking services has taken from me already far more than I feel he deserves.

 

I dont really need any more stress in my life right now (when do we)

I don't understand how, or why, a PPC would ever take the effort to verify the BB that was on display? Are you suggesting they record every single BB number and check it against some type of database on the off chance that the holder is deceased or can be proven (though god knows how) to be elsewhere at the time of the parking?

THat is what they appear to have done the exact woerding on the court claim in capitals is

 

THE DEFENDANT WAS DISPLAYING A BLUE BADGE THAT WAS ISSUED TO A MALE OF THE SAME SURNAME WHO HAD DIED IN 2009

 

I am quite surprised a company such as devere would be given access to information about blue badge holders.......the only was they would have been able to know this information is if this was made available to them through the disabled badge issuers or similar and I intend to find out if this would be classed as a breach of data protection.

 

Ultimately though I want to know the best way to defend this....I was not the driver but I do not wish to pass this to the person I think was driving, if I am honest I think there were two different drivers one for each occasion.

 

I also want to protect my mum from the associated stress she is dealing with enough at the moment.

Strange. I think you are right to pursue the issue of how they obtained such information. On a side note, although I am not familiar with the BB system, shouldn't the badge have been surrendered upon the death of your father?

 

On the issue of the parking "infringement". As you know, the only have access to the name of the RK through DVLA which appears to be you. Therefore they can only raise court papers against you and, as you say you were not the driver on that occasion, then "you" did not breach the terms of their car park.

I would like to take the opportunity to point out that in general on most supermarket car parks

the sign generally states that the parking is reserved for BB holders.

 

The signs do not ask you to display a BB as a BB has not legal standing on private property therefore cannot be invalid etc.

 

You could display your distant relative's who lives in the outer Hebrides BB and it still has no legal standing.

 

This will get thrown out of court the moment you defend it.

 

However I would start pursuing to find out how they managed to find out the BB was not pertaining to your mother

as that is definitley a breach of data information.

 

You need to ask them this and they are obliged to give you an answer.

 

Stress that you will ask this question in court anyway.

Blue badge carries no force at all in private car parks, you should quote the DfT/blue badge regs on this..

Mum is a blue badge holder so she parked okay.

 

Data protection breach by the sounds of it. They will have had to have gone to the council for this information would they not ?

First step is to get this struck out because the Claimant is not a legal entity.

 

No legal status on stated on signage.

No legal status stated on correspondence.

No legal status stated in contract with retail park.

 

Breach of Companies Act 2006 1202:

 

Disclosure required: business documents etc

 

(1)A person to whom this Chapter applies must state the information required by this Chapter, in legible characters, on all—

 

(a)business letters,

 

(b)written orders for goods or services to be supplied to the business,

 

©invoices and receipts issued in the course of the business, and

 

(d)written demands for payment of debts arising in the course of the business.

Do not capitulate under any circumstance as you are on a winner and have nothing to worry about!

 

They are hoping that you will cough up and not defend.

 

Purseu the Data Protection issue as that is very wrong and someone coudl end up with a fine far greater than expected.

I have contacted the local council department who issue blue badges..

 

..they were able to confirm that the data protection act would apply and they would be unable to provide this information to a third party.

 

They also referred to their parking services who confirmed the same,

 

I am just waiting on a response from the head of the blue badge department.

 

They were very helpful on the phone and called me back within 10 minutes.

 

I have also just received a letter from Devere stating

" this blue badge is being used fraudulently and that may constitute a criminal offence.

 

We have every intention of writing to the Chief Constable of Dorset

and give him full details of the evidence that we have regarding this matter"

 

The letter is signed by Steven Williams

A RATHER PATHETIC ATTEMPT AT INTIMIDATING YOU INTO PAYING THEIR BEGGING LETTER !!

 

The Blue Badge has no authority or meaning in a private car park

and therefore cannot have been used fraudulently in your case,

 

this amateur attempt to frighten you clearly illustrates the lack of knowledge or understanding of the law,

 

let him report you as you have not committed any crime no fraud was attempted and none has taken place.

 

If Mr Williams wants to waste police time that is his perogative,

 

I would think the CC would laugh at him and his churlish behaviour, What a joke !!

If it was me Id accept the fine and just pay especially if I was unclear of what may happen in the sense that you could incurr more charges. Everyone has clearly had different esperiences with this company, so for the sake of a hundred quid...you may aswell pay it! If you go the other way, the amount of grief and stress, letter writing, solicitors and incurred cost...is it cost effective or worth the risk?

Complete and utter rubbish. This is not a fine and the person doesn't owe a penny. As pointed above, the blue badge scheme does not apply on private land,and a private parking company cannot penalize a motorist for a breach of their silly rules.

The Chief Constable of Dorset may also be interested in a company that is operating without stating its legal status on any paperwork.

 

The county court judge is going to love the threats coming from the claimant in this case.

Well if it is indeed against the data protection act, can't you report them for breaching it? Send them a letter informing them of what they did, how it us illegal and how you will now be reporting them.

 

Just to see how funny their excuses are!
