    • I have looked at the car park and it is quite clearly marked that it is  pay to park  and advising that there are cameras installed so kind of difficult to dispute that. On the other hand it doesn't appear to state at the entrance what the charge is for breaching their rules. However they do have a load of writing in the two notices under the entrance sign which it would help if you could photograph legible copies of them. Also legible photos of the signs inside the car park as well as legible photos of the payment signs. I say legible because the wording of their signs is very important as to whether they have formed a contract with motorists. For example the entrance sign itself doe not offer a contract because it states the T&Cs are inside the car park. But the the two signs below may change that situation which is why we would like to see them. I have looked at their Notice to Keeper which is pretty close to what it should say apart from one item. Under the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012 Schedule 4 Section 9 [2]a] the PCN should specify the period of parking. It doesn't. It does show the ANPR times but that includes driving from the entrance to the parking spot and then from the parking place to the exit. I know that this is a small car park but the Act is quite clear that the parking period must be specified. That failure means that the keeper is no longer responsible for the charge, only the driver is now liable to pay. Should this ever go to Court , Judges do not accept that the driver and the keeper are the same person so ECP will have their work cut out deciding who was driving. As long as they do not know, it will be difficult for them to win in Court which is one reason why we advise not to appeal since the appeal can lead to them finding out at times that the driver  and the keeper were the same person. You will get loads of threats from ECP and their sixth rate debt collectors and solicitors. They will also keep quoting ever higher amounts owed. Do not worry, the maximum. they can charge is the amount on the sign. Anything over that is unlawful. You can safely ignore the drivel from the Drips but come back to us should you receive a Letter of Claim. That will be the Snotty letter time.

    • Yes, it was, but in practice we've found time after time that judges will not rule against PPCs solely on the lack of PP.  They should - but they don't.  We include illegal signage in WSs, but more as a tactic to show the PPC up as spvis rather than in the hope that the judge will act on that one point alone. But sue them for what?  They haven't really done much apart from sending you stupid letters. Breach of GDPR?  It could be argued they knew you had Supremacy of Contact but it's a a long shot. Trespass to your vehicle?  I know someone on the Parking Prankster blog did that but it's one case out of thousands. Surely best to defy them and put the onus on them to sue you.  Make them carry the risk.  And if they finally do - smash them. If you want, I suppose you could have a laugh at the MA's expense.  Tell them about the criminality they have endorsed and give them 24 hours to have your tickets cancelled and have the signs removed - otherwise you will contact the council to start enforcement for breach of planning permission.

    • 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 all, hoping this is the right place to post and that someone can assist. I have also posted in the insurance forum! I was involved in a RTA just under 4 weeks ago. :mad:

 

The driver reversed into the side of my car, she admitted liability and my car is in the garage as we speak (damages of £1000 although i fail to see how, yes there was panel damage but £1000!! i am not sure) The car was reversing so only going 7/10 mph or so its only cosmetic.

 

Anyway, i have a question. I did suffer injury - GP says soft tissue damage. I am as bad today as i was the day after the incident. On friday my GP said physiotherapy/chiropractor (sp) would be a good idea but NHS waiting list is long. He said to call the insurance company as the other woman had admitted liability

 

Now, i do not believe in claiming for whiplash etc as although i have suffered pain i have been lucky enough not to have suffered any loss of earnings - i am a stay at home mum, and we go a replacement car whilst ours is being fixed so oh can get to work and back etc so we are happy.

 

i called my insurance co today to tell them what GP said and they said someone would call back - this company urwin mitchell? or something like that have called saying my ins co asked them to do so. I went through all thats happened etc and they said 'they will take on my case' i said i didnt want 'a case' i just wanted physio as per my GP and new car seat as per the local councils road safety team. (The local road safety team have also suggested i purchase a new car seat for my child as you should buy a new one if your vehicle is involved in any accident)

 

But this irwin mitchel company are saying i need to put in a pi claim to get this?

 

Surley this isnt right? I called my insurance co back and i got the 'you have been injured and are entitled to claim compensation for the injuries as you are still suffering 4 weeks later' cr*p..well, yes i am but as i have suffered no loss of earnings i do not want a PI claim, just for physio and car seat to be paid for.

 

What do i do? i have the 3rd parties details do i ring her and ask her to pay for the physio and new car seat? or do i approach her insurance company?

 

I am being made to feel i am being unreasonable for not wanting to claim for personal injury - is this really the culture we live in? or have i got the wrong end of the stick here?

 

Thanks for any replies

You may have got the wrong end of the stick... very slightly.

 

Your GP is saying (as you will know) that NHS waiting lists are very long and it would be quicker to get physio privately... however, someone has to pick up the bill for this.

 

That person would be the party that crashed into you.

 

The only other way would be for you to pay... but this would be unfair surely - it was not your fault you need physio?

thanks for the response. Yes, i kinda follow what you are saying, and i agree. I need physio and the 3rd party should pay - but the way it has been put to meby this urwin mitchell (or whoever they are lol!) is i need to file a claim for injury and seek compensation, as part of that the physio and car seat will be paid. The company that called me are quoting 'average payouts of £1700 with around 6 months lead time for payment as teh 3rd party have already admitted liability' but i dont want £1700, i just want the cost of the physio and new car seat

 

So, really what i want to ask is 'can i just claim for physio and a new car seat, but not claim for the injury itself for distress and suffering (or however they term it)?

Im not sure what the price is for the medical treatment you require.

 

You would probably have to enter into further talks with Urwin Mitchell and/or your insurance Co. They should be able to give you a breakdown of what they would be claiming for you.

 

You should make it clear to them that you do not wish to claim for pain and suffering - i would imagine that if you did not suffer this, it would be hard for them to claim this (since there would be no evidence!)

Hi thanks! thats makes it clearer.

 

I did/am suffering 4 weeks on, but as i havent had 'loss of earnings' i dont want to claim, i am really against the whole claims culture. If i had expereinced loss in wages etc i would consider it but i didnt so i just want to re-coup actual costs ie car seat and car seat.

 

Thanks a lot! I did have the feeling i was being pressured into 'all or nothing' with them but i will make my intentions clear
