    • 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.
    • Defence and Counterclaim Claim number XXX Claimant Civil Enforcement Limited Defendant XXXXXXXXXXXXX   How much of the claim do you dispute? I dispute the full amount claimed as shown on the claim form.   Do you dispute this claim because you have already paid it? No, for other reasons.   Defence 1. The Defendant is the recorded keeper of XXXXXXX  2. It is denied that the Defendant entered into a contract with the Claimant. 3. 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 simply contracted by the landowner 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. Accordingly, it is denied that the Claimant has authority to bring this claim. 4. In any case it is denied that the Defendant broke the terms of a contract with the Claimant. 5. The Claimant is attempting double recovery by adding an additional sum not included in the original offer. 6. In a further abuse of the legal process the Claimant is claiming £50 legal representative's costs, even though they have no legal representative. 7.

    • 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 Vicki202, I'm sure you'll attract a lot of advice...

May I just ask what benefits you receive? How old are your children? Is everyone in the household hale and hearty?

Were there any witnesses to the assault?

What did the bailiff levy on? What items did she list and what paperwork did she leave?

Which firm does she work for?

I know that's a lot of questions but the more you tell us the more advice we're able to give you...

Best wishes

Rae

Hi vicki202, I'm presuming you may have gone for the night.

I know you're worried about geting the money together and the prospect of a bailiff calling on wednesday.

The reason I've asked you a lot of questions is that the answers will give us the ammunition needed to fire back at both bailiff and council. There are a lot of things that shouldn't have happened to you for many reasons.

You are in a far stronger position than you realise due to your circumstances. Please remember that the bailiff will lie, cajole, threaten and bluster in the hope you will beg steal or borrow whatever sum of money he / she plucks out of the air. You do not necessarily have to pay the bailiff anything - particularly if the levy they made was wrong.

I'll be looking in on the forum for the next hour or so in case you pop back otherwise I'll look back in during tomorrow day...

Best wishes

Rae

a bailiff cannot clamp you car for their fees as you have already sorted it with the council.

 

contact the council first thing in the morning

they are responsible for the actions of the bailiffs they employ

 

had the bailiff attended before she clamped you car?

May be better to start from scratch.

 

Ring the Council ASAP and ask:

1 - how many Liability Orders you have

2 - what periods of time they cover

3 - how much is owing on each one

4 - how much is outstanding on each one

5 - when each one was passed to the Bailiffs

 

Asking these questions may help us understand what is happening.

 

Next I would send off for a Breakdown of charges the bailiff has added. Use something like this - adapt for your own needs and send by email & hard copy in the post by Signed For service:

 

"From:

My Name

My Address

 

To:

Acme Bailiff Co

Bailiff House

 

Ref: Account No: 123456

 

Dear Sir

 

With reference to the above account. Can you please provide me with a breakdown of the charges including Computer Screenshot.

 

This includes:

a - the time & date of any Bailiff action that incurred a Fee.

b - the reason for the fee.

c - the name(s) of the Bailiff(s) that attended on each occasion a Fee was charged.

d - the name(s) of the Court(s) the Bailiff(s) was/were Certificated at.

e - the date of the Certification.

 

This is not a Subject Access Request under the Data Protection Act S7 1998 so does not incur a fee of £10. You are obliged to provide this information.

 

I require this information within 14 days.

 

Yours faithfully

 

Ripped off customer"

 

I would also look to involving your local Councillor to try and negotiate with what has happened at the Council.

From what I understand so far, if it's found that the bailiff exceeded her 'powers', and the police assisted her with this, then at the least, a complaint against the police should be made as well.

 

It sounds like a 'complicity in a crime' scenario on the part of the police, and I'd pursue that as far as I could go.

 

The fact that this is Rossendales does not surprise me in the slightest - I'd have been mildly surprised if it wasn't.

also inform the council that there bailiffs have unlawful clamped your car

 

1) the bailiff did not leave a notice of seizure of goods and inventory

2) the car has no value and would not cover bailiff fees removal fee storage fees and substantial portion of debt

you should not have removed the clamp

however the bailiff should not have clamped the car

 

your council should not have sent the debt to bailiffs as you are classed as as a venerable debtor according to the national standards for enforcement agents

most council have signed up to
