    • That is really good is that a mistake last off "driver doesn't have a licence" I assume that should be keeper? The Court requested me to send the Court and applicant proof of my sons disability from their GP this clearly shows he has Severe Mental Impairement, he is also illiterate.  I naively assumed once the applicant received this that they would drop the claim.  It offends me that Bank has asked the Judge to throw the case out at the preliminary hearing and to make us pay up.
    • 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. The parking is free but I suppose there must be a time limit on it that I am not aware of. We were in the area for around 4 hours. Makes us wonder how they deal with people staying in the hotel as the ANPR is on what appears to be a publicly maintained street (where london buses run) which 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”

    • 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 may want to ask the council why the bailiff didn't levy the car on his first visit as the car was on your drive at the time

after all thats why the bailiffs is there to levy distress

Levying distress (where no levy is made) -

(ii) for walking possession: £12.00

 

So if this walking order was on 17th feb as his back dated it too then why is the fee not shown on the statement of account Rossendales sent me ?

the point I'm making is when the bailiff came to your house Oct 20 2009

he was there to levy distress or collect payment

 

as your car was on the drive at the time of this visit he should have levied it then

if he had levied on the 1st visit there would have no reason for the second visit and the only fees he would have been able to charge would have been the levy fee and walking possession fee (cant charge visit fee WPA fee levy fee on same visit)

 

there are only 2 reasons why the bailiff didn't levy on the first visit

 

1 to gain more fees

2 he new the car had no value at auction

 

 

because he didn't levy on the 1st visit he expected to come back at a later date to gain a 2nd visit fee and levy fee

Remember that the Council are also responsible for this situation which their contractor has blown out of all proportion. If not resolved satisfactorily you will issue claim in County Court for return of the £18 they owe + costs and will name Council as Co-defendant. Give them 7 days to return your money + apology for all the hassle, if they still appear reticent then you could always argue that for the length of time you have had to take to research all this you will also claim costs for the time taken.

 

The Bailiff's still have not complied with your request for the attending Bailiff's name or Court he was Certfiicated at.

Ok just spoke to a lovely lady at council office on phone..

 

She says basically the bailiff fee's are just !!!

 

What I said is that because I paid online the debt is settled and i only need pay rossendales 24.50.. she then says but if you paid rossendales like you were supposed to then the matter would be resolved, i said no because then an outstanding bill from rossendales would be left and then they add as many charges as possible ( she then put me on hold to speak to line manager) She comes back to say there fee's are justified. I said why did they do a van visit and levy charge the same day she said they are allowed to !! (after being put on hold again) She says a letter was delevered to my address sometime in November saying a van will visit to collect fee's. I said according to this letter i have from Rossendales dated 2 Feb 2010 you only "then" gave them instructions to chase outstanding fee's so the 18 second visit is still a visit trying to collected council tax, she said the fee's are a part of the council tax !

 

http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/hh289/eggytwelve/scan0001-1.jpg

 

After arguing my point a while longer going through everything i could i decided enough as not getting anywhere and said my best approach now is a formal letter, I then took her name and hung up !

I think what she is trying to say is the second visit is for fees.. Makes no sense

Wiil try and dig them out..

 

What im suspecting is this;

 

I paid online the amount outstanding, there fee's are 24.50 and maybe the reason the second visit was for is to collect that incurring the second charge of 18.00... still seems wrong though ! Wont know i till dig out the letters or get access to there data !

Can some point me in the direction of what a bailiff can and cannot do regarding place a levy fee and make a van visit/attendence fee on the same day.. Im lacking in knowledge as to argue this point.

 

thanks

About a month ago they sent a letter saying i still owe £134.50 and "can confirm an instalment arrangement has been set on your account"

 

They can confirm what they like it makes no odds to me :)

 

New letter today says ive failed to adhere to arrangement and propose to remove your goods.. Cost of van attending will be £110

 

 

Any ideas on a nice reply to them ?

No i have not bothered as they stopped visiting after i sent bailiff a text saying no correspondence till I get details that i asked for

 

 

Oh well.

If you do decide to, get ready with those non-compliance letters for when the 40 day deadline is up and you have heard nothing :-(

eggy 12 having a good read of your thread before i add my 2 pence worth

 

this letter clearly states thats the council have given there permission to proceed for costs of £42.50

 

 

the levy post 59 (i know it was backdated thats not the point at the moment )

so in effect regardless of the date of the levy the bailiff has levied goods against there costs only

 

councils don't make the rules legislation does

so are you saying i do owe them £134 ? Or can i still argue they cannot do a van visit and levy on the same day, on there statement it shows van visit first then levy !

 

Im still unsure about this rule

 

 

C For one attendance with a vehicle with a view to the removal of goods Reasonable costs and fees incurred.

(where, following the levy, goods are not removed):

 

could this mean they turn up, levy goods but dont remove them.. But can charge me £110 + levy fee for the pleasure and not as previously mention that cannot do van visit and levy on same day ?

 

 

OK edited post to add this i found here

http://www.advicenow.org.uk/advicenow-guides/consumer-and-money-problems/dealing-with-bailiffs/what-bailiffs-can-charge-html,621,FP.html

 

Council Tax

 

Bailiffs collecting Council Tax are not allowed to charge you for letters, but they can charge for 2 visits (£24.50 for the first, and £18.00 for the second). They can't charge you for any more than two visits (unless you owe Council tax for more than one year, then they can charge you for two visits per year). If they take your stuff, they can also make a 'levy charge' for their time and effort. The amount depends on the size of your debt: the more you owe, the higher the charge. The rules are complicated - but as a rough guide, if you owe less than £100 its £24.50, if you owe £500 its £40.50, if you owe £2000 it's £78.

They can also charge £12 for making a Walking Possession Agreement and, if you have not kept to the agreement, they can charge you for hiring a van to take your belongings away. This must be in line with normal van hire rates. Bailiffs cannot bring a van to your home and try to charge you for it before they get a 'walking possession agreement' - although many dodgy bailiffs will try this.

 

So the way I see things is the procedure they should have followed is this

 

They come levy my car

They give me time to pay up

THEN they come back with hire van to pick up my car and charge me £110 for the vehicle !

 

HOLD ON... If they levied my car they should dam well no they wont get it in a van so why charge me a van visit ?

no what I'm saying is that there are no fees to pay as the bailiff levied goods for there fees

 

we must inform you that we have now received instructions from xxx council to proceed for outstanding costs only (confirms they are looking for costs)

 

please forward £42.50 within the next 7 days to enable us to close our file failing which we will have no alternative to but to proceed with the execution of the liability order

 

the bailiff cant levy for there fees and the council cant give them permission to do this as we know fee are set by legislation

 

they cant proceed with the execution of the liability order by the time this letter was sent out there was no liability order the liability order had been paid
