    • I have just read the smaller print on their signs. It says that you can pay at the end of your parking session. given that you have ten minutes grace period the 35 seconds could easily have been taken up with walking back to your car, switching on the engine and then driving out. Even in my younger days when I used to regularly exceed speed limits, I doubt I could have done that in 35 seconds even when I  had a TR5.

    • Thank you for posting up the results from the sar. The PCN is not compliant with the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012 Schedule 4. Under Section 9 [2][a] they are supposed to specify the parking time. the photographs show your car in motion both entering and leaving the car park thus not parking. If you have to do a Witness Statement later should they finally take you to Court you will have to continue to state that even though you stayed there for several hours in a small car park and the difference between the ANPR times and the actual parking period may only be a matter of a few minutes  nevertheless the CEL have failed to comply with the Act by failing to specify the parking period. However it looks as if your appeal revealed you were the driver the deficient PCN will not help you as the driver. I suspect that it may have been an appeal from the pub that meant that CEL offered you partly a way out  by allowing you to claim you had made an error in registering your vehicle reg. number . This enabled them to reduce the charge to £20 despite them acknowledging that you hadn't registered at all. We have not seen the signs in the car park yet so we do not what is said on them and all the signs say the same thing. It would be unusual for a pub to have  a Permit Holders Only sign which may discourage casual motorists from stopping there. But if that is the sign then as it prohibits any one who doesn't have a permit, then it cannot form a contract with motorists though it may depend on how the signs are worded.

    • 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.

Ok im new to this forum as of today and im struggling to find my way around, not only that im not really sure what im looking for exactly so here is some background to give some idea what im after.

 

I live just outside London and have unsecured debts of around £50/£60k from a few loans, about 15 credit cards, 1 store card and a couple of catalogues. These are all from about 10 years ago and i have not been paying any of them for at least 3 years now. I have just been ignoring any letters and phone calls simply as i cannot deal with them anymore. When times are hard i cant deal with it and mostly dont respond due to being so depressed about the situation. Although for some reason i only get threats of bailifs and CCJ's but nothing ever happens, i just keep getting more letters and phone calls!

 

I am still in the same position as before in that i have very little money, living purely on benefits now, i have taken so called advice from the CCCS and also CAB but the only real help was that someone told me i should bankrupt myself although they said it wasnt what they could formerly reccomend as i should really do the right thing and pay the debts back.

 

Anyway i was also told by a friend that my debts may well be unenforceable and gave me the phone number for some company, i called them etc and to cut a long story short they told me that most of my debts are unenforceable although they couldnt give me any more info until i paid them, but when i looked into how much money they wanted, it turns out that there wasnt much to be saved! A big con i think although im really unsure if what they were telling me was true?

 

I just cant trust anything i have been told and even when i called various solicitors i was told lies, basically 1 solicitor told me these are all [problem] companies and to steer clear, the next told me i should go for it as it was a recognised loophole, then the next told me there is no way out and that the only way to clear the debts i have acrued is to pay up? Im so confused i have no idea who is telling me the truth!

 

 

Im sure there is something i should be doing but really dont know what, this forum seems very good but so much info that i dont know what i should be reading, any help will be very much appreciated!!!

Also just to add to this, today i got a call from one of the companies that have taken on my barclaycard debt and they told me that there is a new goverment scheme that enables me to lose up to half of my current debt??? I didnt get to finish the call as was on mobile and lost service, they didnt call back and i have no credit to call them, is this real? Anyone know what is involved in this so called scheme? And why the hell would a company i owe money to be telling me this?

 

Anyone willing to offer me any help?

no its not real its a [problem] they all are!

 

now, you say you've ducked everything for xx yrs, if you were able to do this for 6, then they'ed all be statute barred.

 

now, so have a think...when were the last payments you made.

 

it might well be an idea to seek out some of the charitable debt management orgs.

 

CCCS & payplan are good.

 

but DON'T be tempted by these fleecers..

 

dx

please don't hit Quote...just type we know what we said earlier..

DCA's view debtors as suckers, marks and mugs

NO DCA has ANY legal powers whatsoever on ANY debt no matter what it's Type

and they

are NOT and can NEVER  be BAILIFFS. even if a debt has been to court..

If everyone stopped blindly paying DCA's Tomorrow, their industry would collapse overnight...
