    • Write to the IPC complaining that UKPC have not observed the requirements of PoFA . IPC  Waterside House, Macclesfield SK10 9NR Dear IPC, I am writing to complain about a serious breach of the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012 by UKPCM. I feel that as it is more a breach of the Act rather than not just  complying with your Code of Practice which is why I am bypassing your operator. Should you decide to insist that I first complain to your operator, I will instead pass over my complaint to the ICO and the DVLA . My story starts with being issued a windscreen PCN on 8/3/24 which was almost immediately removed and a second  PCN was then  sent by post on 13/3/24  [deemed delivered 15/3/24] which I did not receive and had to send an sar to have that particular mess revealed later  but that is not the reason for my complaint. UKPC then sent a Keeper Liability Notice dated 12/4/24 warning me that as 28 days have now elapsed, I as keeper am now liable for the charge.  This is in direct contravention of PoFA since the keeper does not become liable to pay until the day after the original PCN is deemed to have been given which would have been 13/4/24 -a Saturday ]. Not only does it not comply with PoFA but it fails to adhere to your Code of Practice and is in breach of their agreement with the DVLA. You will be aware that this is not the first time that UKPC have fallen foul of the DVLA and presumably yourselves. I have included copies of both Notices for information. You will realise the seriousness of this situation if this is standard practice from the UKPC to all motorists or just those where windscreen tickets are involved since the Law regarding PoFA is being abused and is unfair to misguide motorists. I await your  response which I understand will usually be within a week. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------I would think that should be sufficient for the IPC to cancel your PCN though  you should await comments from the Site team before sending your complaint. Don't forget to include both PCNs.  
    • Hi DX, Sorry, fell asleep as I was up all night last night writing that statement. Yes, I attached the rest of the witness statement on post 50, bottom of webpage 2. That's the important part.  It looks like the lawyer who wrote Erudio's Witness statement does not work for them any more. So, I'll have another lawyer representing instead. Not sure if I can use Andy's hearsay argument verbally if that happens.... I did not put it in writing. Apart from not sending deferral forms, my main argument is that in 2014 Erudio fixed some arrears mistake that SLC made and then in 2018 they did the same mistake, sent me confusing letters. What is the legal defence when they send you confusing material?

    • That isn’t actually what the Theft Act 1968 S1 actually says, BTW. https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1968/60/section/1 (1)A person is guilty of theft if he dishonestly appropriates property belonging to another with the intention of permanently depriving the other of it;   The difference between what you’ve said and the Act? a) intent to permanently deprive rather than  just depriving (which is why the offence of “taking without consent” was brought in for motor vehicles, as otherwise "joyriders" could say "but I intended to give it back at the end") b) dishonesty : If I honestly believed A's pen belonged to B, and took it and gave it to B - B might be found guilty of theft but I shouldn't be.

    • 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.

l bought a van about 6 months ago that was advertised in our local paper and when l went to see l noticed it was ex royal mail, anyway l bought the van. Now 6 month on l received a letter from a finance company telling me the van has finance on it and they may still have an interest in it.

How do l stand with regards to this as l paid cash for the van and didnt know it still had finance on it, l stay in Scotland.

Any help would be gratefull

Yes letter was posted to me at my address in Scotland where l live. l had no idea the van had finance on it as l had never seen the van before l had seen it advertised in the local paper.

Getting that letter had got me worried that the van was going to get repossessed from me as l had done quiet alot of work on it.

Lombard was who l got the letter from and it was a private seller l bought it from who said he worked for parcelforce, the van had all the signwriting on it. Id rather not disclose how much l paid for it but it was around about market value.

Yes l do, and l can asure you there was signwriting on the van when l got it. Could it be he was a contract worker or something, l dont know. To be honest i'm not really concerned about the parcelforce its the finance company that bothers me.

well they cant do anything to you as you are in scotland

there are no repossession laws in scotland

 

however, like postggj it is puzzling why it 'had' been on finance and still has the signage.

 

but dont worry anything is going to happen to you, it wont..

it would do you no harm to liase with the letterwriter to assist them.

 

mine turned out to have cloned number plates!

I have just spoken to my brother who was with me when l bought the van and he said the guy told him that it was his own van and he was some sort of sub contractor for parcelforce. He didnt remove the signwriting. He had just bought a new van and it was going away to get the signage done on it.

How will this affect me in the future if and when l come to sell it?

the staff bought a franchice of the business for £30,000

Hi. did you do a HPI on the van ??? the thing you have to look at is. was the finance done in scotland or england. if it was in england then yes they can take the van. one good thing is lambard are a good company to deal with (not sharks) and they will help you. have you talked with the guy you have bought it from. see how much he owes lambard. and also check with lambard if the guy has is new van fianced with them.

lambard are a very good company so dont worry there. if you tell them what work you have had done to your van and all your costs. most of the time they will take offers (start very low) but remember if everything was done in scotland you will be fine. here is some reading for you, http://www.opsi.gov.uk/RevisedStatutes/Acts/ukpga/1964/cukpga_19640053_en_1#pt1

To be honest that bit reading is totally alien to me didnt understand a lot of it.

What will be my position if any of the finance agreement was done outside Scotland? What if the van came from outside Scotland lkie a garage in England?

I'm bricking it now cause l thought l was ok being in Scotland. I wouldnt have thought there would be much finance left on it after 6 years but l could be wrong.

with you being in scotland you will have protection under what is called scots law. and you only need to talk to lambard about this.

lambard are not like other finance companys were they send bailifs to your door. just call them tomorrow and talk with them. all as they might need from you is the last guys address. but until you have spoken to them its hard to know what direction to go.

 

let us know how you get on with talking to them.

Spoke with Lombard today and they said that they could take the van back.

Lombard wanted to know how much l paid for the van after l gave them the previous owners details, they also gave me the previous owners telephone number which l didnt have but they seemed alright after l gave them price l paid for van.

l phoned the previous owner and got his wife who was apoligetic and tried to assure me that there wasnt any finance on the van and that Lombard just needed to confirm selling price of the van as they were getting a percentage of the selling price.

Does really make a great deal of sense to me as l dont know how these finance companies work.

Does this lot make sense at all?

Hi junior. now ask lambard to send you a letter as to what interest they have in your van i.e outstanding finance. as the last owners are telling you it was settled.

Would lombard have an intrest in the price the van was sold for and would they be getting a percentage of that sale?

junior

 

 

Hi junior. you are going off base. what deal lambard and the last owner did will not help you at all.

 

all you need is a letter from lambard with amount outstanding. so as you can give a copy to the last owner (they say it has no finance) but you need to know what lambards intentions are.

Hi CCTV

l tried asking them today what the outstanding balance on the van was but they wouldnt say, what they did say after a bit of thought was that they were legally entitled to reposses the van which to my mind it doesnt sound like its been paid up. But when l phone previous owner the wife said they had paid it off.

Confused
