    • 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.
    • Hi everyone, Thanks for the responses. Just a few follow up questions in light of what's been said:   If I dont appeal to PPM, who can I appeal to?   Why should the PCN been attached to the windscreen? Is this written in law?   I assumed the document I had received was the NTK, if this is not the case, what does a NTK look like?   Regarding the compliance with the Protection of Freedoms Act, could the "period" of parking not be argued either way? The legislation doesnt state it must have a start/end time of parking, which I assumed an ANPR camera would pick up if it had one. Is 4 minutes not technically enough to show the vehicle was parked?    Thanks !

    • 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.

Hi ok then here goes.

 

about 2 years ago i was stoped in a car that is owned by a relatyives garage, the car is registered at that business address under trade, it was in for work to be done to it, after the work had been done it was road tested,by me straight into a huge police road check, pulled over, no road tax, £60 fixed penalty notice given, off i go.

 

send of the part 3 form at bottom of yellow FP ticket to ask for court hearing to argue that it was under trade and was road tested with a currant MOT.(i would prob still get done but hey ho)

 

i heard nothing, after a year almost to the day i got a letter from the court i think, saying that there is now a county court bailif going to chase for the money, i rang the court, didnt want to help, so rang the ticket office and spoke to a woman and asked why i hadnt had a court date in a year, she said cause we havent had the part 3 form, i said well i sent it,she asked do you have proof, i said no and were on the form does it say i need to keep proof, send it recorded delivery or chase the courts if i dont hear from them, she said it doesnt, so i asked if they would sort it, she said she would look into it and i should write a letter to say i sent the form off, i said i wont send a letter as it doesnt say anywhere i have to or i have to chase the courts(unlike DVLA), so please get back to me with an answer....... almost a year later(3 days ago) a bailif is outside my friends house where the car is kept saying he is here to seize it, so my friend calls me and i call the bailiff on his mobile and tell him i would be there asap, he said how long or ill charge to wait.

 

so i get there and start to ask him why he is taking it and that its not my car, he said he didnt care and he will clamp it anyway, so i warned him not to or the owner will not be happy, he didnt clamp it, i then asked to see the warrant and paperwork 8 times he refused and said NO, your being awkward so im not showing it to you????

 

he then just kept hanging around and being a pain, not answering questions, or giving us 30mins-1hour to go and get the V5 to proov its not mine, he said no ill clamp it. so i rang the police, they PCN checked the car and said yes it registered as trade so he cant touch it and left, so did the bailiff.

 

the car has now been removed elsewhere.

 

ive called the ticket office and the court and all say its too late i must pay the bailiffs £300 odd including the £90 for the ticket..... its not going to happen even if i have to go inside, i will ou5t of principal.

 

i sent my part 3 off in good faith, its not my fault the court never got it, and there is no law that says i have to.

 

so the bailiff gave my friend on his arrival a notice of distress giving 6 days to pay and also a final notice filled out on the same day as the distress but saying he would be removing the car one day the same week, less than the six days???? is that ok to do ??

 

so if you could help out here i would be very gratefull as i dont like the sound of the site we found having to pay over £100 without an invoice, seems a bit risky to me??

 

ive not lived at this address for years so would never have got any paperwork anyhow, my friend lives there but not me, i gave that address for the fixed penalty notice though.

 

dont want to say too much on here to show who i am, so i can PM anyone who can help the finer details if needed.

 

Thanks:confused:

You'll get better advice on here than using John Glat and his Bailiff Mediation website.

 

I have dealt with him a few times and the £125 he charges is a waste of money in my opinion. He's never had anything reduced with us and ended up asking us for advice on what to do!!!

 

 

 

Not sure why this site autocorrects his surname transposing the L and A though?

John Glat? Know him quite well and he does offer a good service. His speciality is council tax.

 

Now High Court Enforcer, why would a HIGH court enforcer ever be involved with council tax?

 

Sorry 'bout the spelling, I know I haven't read that much since I last had my eyes tested, but it still keeps coming out the same.

HIGH court enforcers do not involve themselves with council tax.

 

I think HCE is saying he wears two hats!!

 

Strangely enough I recently went into court with my ex-claimant and they trotted in a Barrister who given the circumstances and with the finacial reward being so small had they been successful (they lost) he was in effect acting as a Solicitor...times must be hard for the legal profession.:roll:

Sorry - I always thought that it was a magistrates court that issued distress warrants. Just how does the HIGH COURT become involved?

 

I think you may be missing something here. Just because HCE uses High Court in his name does not mean that is all he does. He has already stated he is also a Certificated bailiff as well which entitles him to collect Council Tax, Motoring fines etc as well as his High Court Enforcement work.

No, I know what I am saying.

 

High Court Enforcer posted derogatory comments about John Ga lt which he failed to show any evidence for as per his normal postings and as per normal bailiff procedure. These people expect you to take their word for everything even when they have nothing that authenticates either themselves or their authority.

 

Of course we could all take HCE's word for it, but having spoken to John on many occasions, I'm quite happy to support his professionalism.

This is a forum which is full of peoples opinions. Mine is that John Galt is not worth the £125 he charges.

 

You dont have to believe me, but it is my opinion.

 

The OP will have to make there own mind up on whether they spend their £125 or take the free advice afforded by posters on CAG.

Because I am a certificated bailiff also and the companies I work for cover CT also.

 

Aha! We have caught you out! I believe you to be male. You cannot possibly multi-task. Hoist with your own petard! [Which, incidently, is a saying with a very fascinating history]. :p

 

Best wishes.

Sorry Rae but HCE can multi task. I know that it is NORMALLY the case that only us females can multi task ( the male variety find this almost impossible!!).

 

Some companies do have bailiffs working on an exclusive bailiffs working on EITHER council tax OR PCN recovery ( which of course attracts a different fee scale).

 

With companies like Marston Group in particular, the situation can be a NIGHTMARE. This is because, up until only 3 years ago, MG traded as Drakes bailiffs. However, Drakes never quite recovered from the dreadful "Whistleblower" TV expose on the bailiff industry (CCCS suffered even worse).

 

MG then purchased a High Court Enforcement firm called John Marston & Co and changed their name to Marston Group.

 

This also allowed the company to branch out in High Court Enforcement work.

 

However, over 75% of the turnover with Marston Group comes from the enforcement of Magistrates Court Fines with HCE work making up the balance. A small part of the business is from PCN recovery with almost nothing from council tax

 

This means that they have High Court Enforcement Officers working Writs of Fi Fa, (sorry Rae but some of them are certificated bailiffs as well) and there is also the situation that any of them can work Magistrate Court warrants for unpaid court fines. This is because of the stupid clause within the contract that provides for a bailiff to work for 6 months with being certificated!!

 

Not only are the regulations completely different for each debt type, the fees scales are different as well,

Can you please confirm something.

 

Does this debt relates to a FPN (Fixed Penalty Notice) or to a PCN (Penalty Charge Notice).

 

I suspect that it is the FPN. If so, is the debt with either Marston Group, Philips, Swift Credit or Excel. You do not need to provide the name of which one.
