    • Better version attached with the late appeal explained more clearly for the judge. This will sound silly, but I think it would be a good idea to e-mail it to the court and UKPC on Sunday.  It's probably me being daft, but Sunday is still March, and as it's late, sending it in March rather than April will make it sound like it was less late than it really is.  if you get my drift. You can still pop in a paper version on Tuesday if you want. E-mail address for the court: [email protected] And for UKPC: [email protected]   [email protected] Defendant WS.pdf
    • Update 15th March the eviction notice period expired, and I paid my next month rent along with sending them the message discussed above. After a short while they just emailed me back this dry phrase "Thank you for your email." In two weeks' time I'm gonna need to pay the rent again, and I have such a feeling that shortly after that date the contracts will be exchanged and all the payments will be made.  Now my main concern is, if possible, not to end up paying rent after I move out.  
    • they cant 'take away' anything, what ever makes you believe that?  dx  
    • The text on the N1SDT Claim Form 1.The claim is for breaching the terms and conditions set on private land. 2. The defendant's vehicle, NumberPlate, was identified in the Leeds Bradford Airport Roadways on the 28/07/2023 in breach of the advertised terms and conditions; namely Stopping in a zone where stopping is prohibited 3.At all material times the Defendant was the registered keeper and/or driver. 4. The terms and conditions upon  entering private land were clearly displayed at the entrance and in prominent locations 5. The sign was the offer and the act of entering private land was the acceptance of the offer hereby entering into a contract by conduct. 6.The signs specifically detail the terms and conditions and the consequences of failure to comply,  namely a parking charge notice will be issued, and the Defendant has failed to settle the outstanding liability. 7.The claimant seeks the recovery of the parking charge notice, contractual costs and interest.   This is what I am thinking of for the wording of my defence The Defendant contends that the particulars of claim are vague and are generic in nature which fails to comply with CPR 16.4. The Defendant accordingly sets out its case below and relies on CPR r 16.5 (3) in relation to any particular allegation to which a specific response has not been made. 1. Paragraph 1 is denied. It is denied that the Defendant ever entered into a contract to breach any terms and conditions of the stated private land. 2. Paragraph 2 and 4 are denied. As held by the Upper Tax Tribunal in Vehicle Control Services Limited v HMRC [2012] UKUT 129 (TCC), any contract requires offer and acceptance. The Claimant was only contracted to provide car park management services and is not capable of entering into a contract with the Defendant on its own account, as the car park is owned by and the terms of entry set by the landowner. 3. It is admitted that Defendant is the recorded keeper of the vehicle. 4.  Paragraph 6 is denied the claimant has yet to evidence that their contract with the landowner supersedes  Leeds Bradford airport byelaws. Further it is denied that the Claimant’s signage is capable of creating a legally binding contract. 5. Paragraph 7 is denied, there are no contractual costs and interest cannot be accrued on a speculative charge.   I'm not sure whether point 4 is correct as I think this side road is not covered by byelaws? Any other suggestions/corrections would be appreciated.

    • 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.

First of all I would like to say "thank you" again for all who kindly gave me some good advice on my 1st thread "Newlyn & unpaid parking ticket & fees "

 

Though the council declared that our case had been paid and closed, Newylin is still demanding their fees paid and just sent back the details of their fees by letter (after I demanded the breakdown&details etc).

 

According to their letter,

 

Council Debt: GBP185.00

First letter: GBP11.20

Visit fees: GBP175.00 (no break down, say, how many visits etc)

VAT: GBP33.43 (Can they charge VAT on this???)

Card Payment Fee: GBP5.66

Total balance: GBP411.09

Paid: GBP196.65

Balance Outstanding: GBP214.44

 

As Zamzara pointed out in the previous threads, I understand that this is not our debt and they cannot collect this outstanding fees as long as council fines have been paid and they had closed our case down.

 

Newlyn also said in the letter,

 

"We are unwilling to provide the bailiffs name and court details at this time as we believe this request to be vexatious and unnecessary"

 

They did not even mention how many visits they had made or who made visits. As I said before, every time said they would come and visit us by txt, THEY NEVER CAME!!

 

Should I send another letter to them? If so what kind of letter?

 

They also mentioned about us considering issueing form 4 complaint but I am not sure what it is as I am not British and English is not even my mother tongue. All the legal stuff sounds so greek to me.

 

If anyone could suggest what I should write back, it would be very much appreciated.

 

OR Shall I just ignore them?? (but I guess they will still keep chasing their (doubious) fees....

send them another recorded delivery letter informing them that they have not fully replied to your request for payment details

 

ask them why they are refusing to give you information you would already be aware of if at the time of the visit the certificated bailiff had left a letter giving you the name of the bailiff date/time the fee for his visit and a contact number for him/her

Hi eliza-gabriella,

 

You could, of course, request that they write to you in your native language for clarity purposes. After all, the National Standards for Enforcement Agents suggest:

 

'Wherever possible, enforcement agents should have arrangements in place for rapidly accessing translation services when these are needed ...'

 

I'm not saying they would do so but I know I wouldn't be able to resist requesting this. :D

 

Best wishes

Rae

As many people on here will know I have a commercial company that provides advice to the public on bailiff maters and sadly will parking enforcement we receive more complaints against Newlyn than any other company.

 

Section 78(7) of the Road Traffic Act specially provides that ONLY a certificated bailiff can enforce an unpaid PCN and that is he is not certificated then he is committing an "ACT OF TRESPASS" and any action is against "the body that instructed him (the local authority)".

 

Therefore, this pathetic excuse that Newlyn provide that effectively means that they consider it A SECRET as to who seized a vehicle is WRONG. In addition by Newlyn refusing confirm the identity of the bailiff there is no way of knowing whether the bailiff is even CERTIFICATED.

 

You really MUST complain to the local authority IMMEDIATELY and point out that you will not hesitate to ask that the Local Government Ombudsman gets involved.

 

I would also suggest that you write to letter to the Information Commissioners Officer (ICO).

Thank you very much for your detailed advice.

 

>You really MUST complain to the local authority IMMEDIATELY and point out that you will not hesitate to ask that the Local Government Ombudsmanlink3.gif gets involved.

 

I have already sent a complaint letter to the local council stating that, they in turn sent back a letter saying that they had received the fine so declared that this case was closed but they also said...

 

>However, having investigated this matter, it apprears that further to the issue by Newylin Plc of the first letter, subsequesnt attempts have been made to recover the charge in the form of visits to your property and letters left. Bailiff fees apply every time that any such action takes place and therefore the amount owning to Newlyn will have increased by the time payment was made.

 

Newlyn only left one (1st) letter by hand, honestly. No other hand-delivered letters. They sent us 2 more letter BY POST after we made the payment!!

 

The council is on their side, I think. I am not sure what to do apart from sending another letter to Newlyn following the advise of hallowithc

Thank you everyone who has helped me so far. I will post another letter which I wrote with the help of your advice tomorrow. I am also attaching the letter from the council saying this case closed to Newylin.

 

I hope that they will come up with something more clear about their doubious fees. I will inform you all once I get a reply from them again.

 

When the original fine has been paid in full and the council says this case closed, is the Baillif company still the representative of the council to enforce removing goods etc???

no and they cannot use the liability order and its powers either.

Hi updates. Any help/advice will be appreciated!

 

I have received a reply from Newyln.

 

They gave me all the (made-up) dates they were supposed to have visit.

 

First letter (10th Dec 2009)

1st Visit (28th Jan 2010)

2nd Visit (6th Feb 2010)

3rd Vist (15th Feb 2010)

 

and argue that we had not been able to pay on line if there had been no visit. We received 2 letters from them, 2nd one by post, 1st one not-known because our house mate opened it by mistake so there was no envelop. 1st one could have been hand-delivered but according to the above-mentioned details, 1st letter has been sent on an earliear date, which means by post, I guess??.

 

We only got the 1st letter at the end of Feb or early March anyway. They just made up those dates.

 

We demanded a screenshot of our account by the previous letter but they insisted that we should pay GBP10.00 for admin costs as it is deemed a Subject Access request. Is it correct?

 

They also would not want to supply their bailiff's details as WE HAVE FAILED TO SUPPLY any info about any inappropriate behavious of any of their bailiffs.

 

HOW COME can we supply such info when there has been NO VISITS BY THEM????

 

In the end of the letter, they say

 

>Whist thre is an outstanding balance, bailiffs will continue to enforce the outstanding Warrant of Execution and further fees may be incurred.

 

Can they still ENFORCE the WARRANT of EXECUTION?

Can they add any more fees than they had added already??

 

I would appreciate a little help as I am not sure what to write back to them at the moment.

 

Thank you all as always.

you may want to wait on tomtubby her advice is the best you will receive on here

 

I don't under stand the reluctance to provide you with the bailiffs name that allegedly made visits to your home

 

when a bailiff visit a debtor home they must leave a letter informing you he/she have been

this should have the date /time/ name of the bailiff and fee you have been charged for the visit

without this information how do you know that you have a visit and if the bailiff is certificated

only certificated bailiffs can collect parking tickets

Sadly, this company refuse to provide the name of a bailiff that may have attended . This is of course nonsense, in particular given that if the bailiff does seize goods then he must BY LAW leave the debtor with a COMPLETED Notice of Seizure of Goods & Inventory (Form 7) which require him to provide his FULL NAME and details of the Court that granted his certificate.

 

I am aware of recent complaints that have been made to the Office of Fair Trading concerning this matter.

 

Has the bailiff visited your property?

 

Has a Notice of Seizure been provided?

 

Which local authority is this?

 

How old is your vehicle?

 

 

PS: It must be remembered that if payment is made BEFORE seizure then the right to come after you for bailiff fees ceases and the bailiff CANNOT use the warrant to recover any fees. That is why it is IMPORTANT to know whether your goods have been seized.

Have read your thread with interest. My daughter received warrant of execution (no longer lives with us) I paid it straight away online to the council, Newlyns are chasing for fees like you for phantom visits, also refused me name of bailiff, looks like standard letter they send out.

Thank you for the detailed information, which I appreciate very much.

 

>Has the bailiff visited your property?

 

NO, ever. This huge house (shared) has 3 people working at home including me. No one has ever seen/heard of them.

 

>Has a notice of seizurelink3.gif been provided?

No, never. Just 2 removal notice letters, one saying FINAL REMOVAL NOTICE. We also made payment straight after (a little more than the fine itself) to Newlyn on the website and informed the council, which sent us a letter saying that they had received the fine in full and our case closed.

 

>Which local authority is this?

 

Camden. Though they said our case was closed they also said that we should contact Newylin to discuss about the fees, which we have been doing with your help.

 

>How old is your vehicle?

 

It is P register plate so around 1996-7??

 

>if payment is made BEFORE seizure then the right to come after you for bailiff fees ceases and the bailiff CANNOT use the warrant to recover any fees.

 

Does it mean that we are safe now???? Can we just ignore them??

My thoughts on this are the bailiff company wont release the name(s) because there was no bailiff visit

 

Now if the bailiff company put a name to a visit and you could prove that the bailiff didn't come (perhaps with CCTV house full of people)Its bailiffs license thats on the line if you took him to court Form 4 complaint

 

And i would think in that situation the baillif would be able to sue there employer

they cant put a made up name against them because there is information on the net to check this
