    • This must be part of the new tactic from Evri.  They know they are going to lose. They take it to the wire and then don't bother to turn up in order to save themselves costs and of course they don't give a damn about the cost to the British taxpayer and the extra court delays they cause. This is a nasty dishonest company – but rather in line with all of the parcel delivery industry which knows that their insurance requirements are unlawful. They know that their prohibited items are for the most part unfair terms. They know for the most part that a "safe place" is exactly what it means – are not left on somebody's doorstep in full view. They know that obtaining a signature means that they have to show the signature not simply claim that they received a signature. They are making huge profits especially from their unlawful and unenforceable insurance requirement. Although this is less valuable than the PPI scandal, in terms of the number of people who are affected nationwide, PPI pales into insignificance. I hope the paralegals working for Evri are proud of themselves and they tell their families what they have done during the day when they go home.
    • Your PCN does not comply with the Protection of freedoms Act 2012 Schedule 4 Section 9[2][a] (a)specify the vehicle, the relevant land on which it was parked and the period of parking to which the notice relates; The only time on the PCN is 17.14. That is only  a time for there to be a period there would have to be a start and and end time mentioned. of course they do show the ANPR arrival and departures  times but that is not the parking period and their times are on the photographs not on the PCN. They also failed to comply with S.9[2][f] as they omitted to say that they could only pursue the keeper if they complied with the Act. That means that they can only pursue the driver as the keeper cannot be held liable for the charge. As they do not know who was driving and Courts do not accept that the driver and the keeper are the same person they will struggle to win. Especially as so many people are able to legally drive your car and you haven't appealed giving them no indication therefore of who was driving. Small nitpicking point-the date of Infringement was 22/04/2024. They appear to be saying that they can charge an extra amount [up to £70 ] if they have to use a debt collector. You do not have a contract with a debt collector so they cannot add that cost. You paid for four hours so it can only be the 15 minutes they are complaining about. You are entitled to a ten minute minimum grace period at the end of the parking period which would be easier to explain if the car park had been bigger. However if you allow for two minutes to park and two minutes to leave that gives you one minute to account for. Things like being held on the way out by cars in front waiting to get on to Northgate or even your own car being held up trying to get on to Northgate at a busy time. then other considerations like having to stop to allow pedestrians to walk in front of you or being held up by another car doing a u turn in front of your car. you would have to check with the driver and see if they could account for an extra one minute things like a disabled passenger or having to strap in a child . I am not advocating lying since that could lead to serious problems [like jail time] but there can be an awful lot of minor things that can cause a hold up of a minute even the engine not starting straight away or another car being badly parked as examples. Sadly you cannot include the 5 minute Consideration period as both IPC and BPA fail to comply with the convention that you can include that time with the Grace period.

    • 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.

Sorry, from reading the other posts I didn't gather that this forum was only for those on the higher moral grounds.

 

I was simply looking for help, knowing that what I did was not great, but at the same time not harming or even endangering anyone. If you came to Germany ignoring parking legislation i couldn't possibly care less - quite the opposite actually, as most parking restrictions are more or less random.

 

I am still very interested in any genuine ideas and help, if anybody has anymore lectures in ethics please keep them to yourselves though.

 

Thanks to anybody trying to help so far

Btw - with regards to some previous posts: it almost reads as if some of the posters like foreign license plates even less then the councils... Just for future reference, I have seen British cars from the stationed British personal in germany and I am sure they stayed beyond 6 months - I can't see the problem with that.

I don't recall any statement by the OP that the car has been here for more than six months in any twelve. Did I miss it or did G&M just imagine it. the DVLA has much less power when a vehicle isn't registered with them, check out the V62 form and look up what 'registration' means. Councils don't like it either so maybe that were G&M's opinion is coming from.

The OP has not stated wether his tickets are parking fines (which get ignored) or valid parking notice's

 

I am sure if OP stated what and who issued them he would find different points of view than driving foriegn plated vehicle.

Hi, i have been living in the uk for over 3 years now and had a car with a German license plate for the whole time. Since a year I have a new car and since we live in a street with no parking opportunity I have collected quite a few tickets on the license plate.

 

 

I think you will find livining here for 3 years means he is resident and cannot use the temporary 6 month exemption. He knew he was parking where he shouldn't and assumed he would not get caught with foreign plates and now wants help, judging by the responses here you are in the minority when it comes to support.

So you did imagine it. see "The car has been in Germany every now and then - checked with the insurance company and they were happy with it. " Its not about majority view (of the people who posted, we don't know the view of those that read the thread and didn't post) its not an election. its about the rules and regs. We do not have all the facts, as I said earlier lets not jump the gun. Yet so many have, you included. Why on earth people rush to condemn especially in the absence of the relevant facts on a forum where people come for help is beyond me. Its certainly against the spirit and intent of this place. Jumping to conclusions is not good mental exercise. Fortunately not everyone is like that but of course those that do like to jump the gun and rush to condemn in the absence of all the facts are also the ones who post. Is that why the lame 'majority view' comment came from G&M ? its up to the readers to decide.

What has the insurance company got to do with the registration and importation of vehicles to the uk? Every now and then is not six months, the car is not permitted to be in the uk for more than 6 months in any 12. The OP has also stated he is resident here and is therefore not classed as a visitor and cannot keep a vehicle on foreign plates, its against the law. If you are going to try and defend peoples criminality you should at least understand the law first.

Oh G&M put the toys back in the council pram. more selective partial quotes from you "So you did imagine it. see "The car has been in Germany every now and then - checked with the insurance company and they were happy with it.

We don't have the facts and you are wittering on about the law. Your horse and cart meed rearranging. Do you have anything to say based on facts that will well help the poster ? Oh and you have jumped several times to conclusions about residency, tax residency, permanent resident, non-dom ? I have residences in two countries and am resident in both. I'll let you work out how that is as you obviously don't need any facts to draw conclusions, moral idealogical or 'legal' come to that. No facts but plenty of legal opinion from you G&M. Councils really don't like foreign plates do they. Lets all use them !

OP#1

Hi, i have been living in the uk for over 3 years now and had a car with a German license plate for the whole time. Since a year I have a new car and since we live in a street with no parking opportunity I have collected quite a few tickets on the license plate. Recently I was stopped at Manchester airport and got my details taken of me after which I received all the tickets on the postal way. The car is owned and registered on my mum which I told the police. I also said that she just recently bought it (right) and the tickets were incurred by somebody else (wrong).

 

I am now in a situation where I wonder what the best course of action is to avoid the considerable charge?

 

I guess i was a bit naive thinking I would get away with it and thought about registering the car in the UK - I don't want to pay all the past tickets though!

 

Thanks

Marvin

 

post#16

This is my second car here and i am studying here - thus spending a considerate amount of time in Germany at my parents. According to my german insurance I am insured for as long as I am not in the UK for more then 6 consecutive months. German insurance is consideably cheaper, why wouldn't I make use of that?

 

The total amount owed is around 1,000 GBP, none of the offences was major, we are talking about parking tickets in a street where there is literally NO parking possibility.

 

The interesting thing is that the manchester police stopped me (with machine guns and everything!) while the offences took place somewhere else!

I will happily appologise to the OP if and when he states he has been resident in Germany for at least 185 days a year and the vehicle has been used for less than six months in any 12. Until then I will stick to my view that the OP has deliberately tried to avoid complying with uk law and avoided paying for 'road tax' and insurance in the UK by pretending to be a visitor to the uk when in fact he was residing here as a student.

From the below website, it appears that the 6 month rule only applies to visitors, if the OP is now considered to be a resident it does not apply and the vehicle should have been registered etc.

 

www.direct.gov.uk/en/Motoring/BuyingAndSellingAVehicle/ImportingAndExportingAVehicle/DG_10014623

 

"EU vehicles brought into the UK can be used for six months in any 12-month period. You do not need to register the vehicle in the UK as long as you can show that the vehicle complies with the registration and tax requirements of its home country. It’s the responsibility of the driver to prove how long the vehicle has been in the country. Producing ferry tickets can do this.

If the keeper of the vehicle becomes resident in the UK, the vehicle must be immediately registered and taxed in the UK.

UK residents are not allowed to use a foreign registered vehicle on UK roads. The exception is when a UK resident:

  • is employed or self-employed in another EU member state
  • uses a EU registered company car temporarily in the UK for business purposes"

Guys

 

I am still registered in Germany at my parents house. I am in Germany for around half the year and will go back permanently soon - why on earth would I want to register it here? How would I then drive in Germany?

 

Can we please stick to my question in future posts?
