    • What do you guys think the chances are for her?   She followed the law, they didnt, then they engage in deception, would the judge take kindly to being lied to by these clowns? If we have a case then we should proceed and not allow these blatant dishonest cheaters to succeed 
    • 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.

Hello,

 

I would apprecaite your advice on a letter that I have received from Equidebt. I am a little suspicious if it........

 

The history is this......

 

June 2007 - Equidebt send letter chasing debt from 2005

Send SAR to OC (RBS)

Send CCA to Equidebt

 

July 2007 - Response from RBS but only information on penalty charges.

 

Nothing further until

 

Sept 2009 - Receive letter from CAS chasing debt and. Send them snotty

response saying that Equidebt have failed to comply with CCA

request and will only correspond with them. Send CCA

reminder and SAR to Equidebt. Signed for and cheque cashed

 

April 2009 - Receive an application form which appears to be signed by

someone other than my OH (who this debt realtes to BTW)

and a set of T&C's.

 

Send them a letter saying we do not feel the signature on the

app form does not appear to be OH's and in any case is

unenforcebale

 

Register complaint with ICO about thehe fact Equidebt have

never responded to or acknowledged SAR.

 

May 2010 Receive the attached letter.

 

What do you guys think? they seem to wan to know a hell of a lot of information.

Mint is RBS isn't it?

 

OK, I wasn't aware of that, but i would still ask what links the application form to the prescribed terms considering they and the signature have to be on the same document. To my untrained eye it looks like 2 completly different docs.

i must admit i did wonder the same thing. Especially as it took them nearly 3 years to come up with this doc.

Do you mean answer all the personal questions on the letter they sent and then see what the SAR throws up in terms of charges & PPI?

my thoughts

yep you need the SAR to get the statements, it might well throw another spanner in the works that could still mean it unen, but we'll look at that later.

you need to know charges/fees/PPI, each month to put in a reclaim.

 

not saying it will clear the arrears, but it might put a very big dent in it.

 

up to you.

i suggest that you don't answer any of the questions on their letter, they have no need and no right to know information like your mothers maiden name, employment history etc. etc.

 

I would simply write back to them and state that you are unwilling to provide any of this information, other than to reiterate that the signature upon the agreement is not yours.

 

Since they have effectively admitted that the alleged debt cannot be positively identified as yours or not without the need for this further highly personal information, I would insist that any adverse information regarding this account be immediately removed from all the CRA's.

 

Copy the letter to the ICO with a prominent reminder that the European directive in these matters places the burden of proof upon the person running the account NOT the alleged debtor, something the ICo are all too happy to overlook to protect the rather one sided status quo of the UK financial industry.

As of 03/03/12 please do not under any circumstances wait for my further input or guidance on any current thread or defence of a court claim I might have been involved in on or through Cag.

Thanks DX. I'm just a little nervous about giving them all that info, but I hear what you're saying.

 

From memory, i don't think there were many charges on this aco****, but it will be interesting to see how much PPI was on the account.

 

Thaks again!
