      SAR distress claim against Parking Eye

      By jk2054 · Posted

      Well we can't predict what the judge will believe. PE will say that they responded in the deadline and you will say they don't. Nobody can tell what a random DJ will decide. However if you go for an OOC settlement you should still be able to get some money

      SAR distress claim against Parking Eye

      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

      EPC ANPR PCN - St Nicholas Street, Weymouth DT4 8AD

      By lookinforinfo · Posted

      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.

    • Big Motoring World Enfield /Blackhorse - done over on car - @BigMotoringWrld

      ATJ posted a topic in Vehicle retailers and manufacturers,

      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

    • Post in Suing a parcel delivery company when you don't have a direct contract with them – third-party rights Copy of judgment available

      BankFodder posted a post in a topic,

      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.

Arghhh, I hate reading legal cobble-de-gook. Barclays defence seems standard.

 

1. The particulars of the claim do not provide details ... or date thereof... strict proof of each charge...

I've seen this on Welshie's thread. I sent them schedule at 1st request and at LBA, I also sent one (inclusive of interest at MCOL stage).

2. The defendant is entitled to charge the claimant...

Anything and everything?

3. We're really standard and transparent...

And illegal.

4.If and to the extent it is the claimant's case that the failure to make necassary payments...

I get this one, it's all my fault so I should put up with it.

5. Accordingly, it is denied that the legal principles...

Are they still claiming that they are acting/ have acted within the law?

6. Therefore, it is denied that the charges were unlawfully debited from the account.

As per 5?

7. If and to the extent the claimant incurred charges on his accout this was caused by the caimant having goe ito overdraft without having agreed..

Again, it's all my fault.

8. It is averred that the said charges and interast are and remain lawful...

We think not.

9. The defendant denies that it is liable to the claimant for the sums claimed and interest as pleaded by the claimant or at all. In the lternative, which is denied, the charges asserted by the claimant to have been applied to the account prior to 31 Octover 2000 would nt be recoverable for the reason of exhaustion of time in bringing contractual claims from the date of accrual, pursuant to the limitation act 1980.

Am I right in thinking that I can claim from the date I became aware, 11 September was the date of my first letter (of the top of my head). And the first charge I am reclaiming is in September 2000? Do I need to say something about this in the 'other info' bit or should this wait until preparing for court?

10. In the alternative, and without prejudice to paragraph 6...

Say what now?

If anybody needs me to type this out in full I will do, but it all seems to be like everyone else's, although I do recall them stopping short on sentances which isn't happening anymore.

 

Should I put this into the other info bit

"I am respectfully requesting my claim be heard via the small claims

track. This issue is not a complicated one; it is an issue of fact and

not of law. The issue is only whether the money levied by the

defendant in respect of its customer’s contractual breaches exceed

or even reflect their actual costs incurred. I am happy to pay their

actual costs and I am surprised the defendant did not counterclaim

for these, as I would have paid them without argument. However,

the continuing problem is (in common with the hundreds of other

cases currently being brought by other bank customers) that the

banks are refusing to reveal the details of their penalty-charging

regime, and that the charges they apply to accounts for exceeding

overdraft limits and so on are entirely disproportionate to the

actual costs the banks incur. As the banks have a fiduciary duty

towards their customers, they have a duty to deal straightforwardly

and in utmost good faith. Accordingly, I would respectfully ask that

the court in this case, not withstanding allocations to the small

claims track, order standard disclosure. I understand that it is in

the courts discretion to do so. I believe this would bring a rapid

end to this litigation. I have attached the schedule of the charges

I am claiming for to this allocation questionnaire to show a

breakdown of the amounts for the courts perusal.

I believe the case will take no longer than 1 hour".

Thanks to Welshman's thread for this.

 

I'd like to get this to the court (Bow County) as soon as possible so if anybody is out there with some advice it would be appreciated as always.

 

Thanks once more.

Mrs F,

 

One good turn deserves another and all that!! Your defence looks exactly the same as mine. Appears to be their latest standard defence.

 

They put in the bit about the Limitations Act in mine but I figured if it does go to court, I can evidence the date that I first asked them for my money back, they refused and so it is down to them that it has had to go to court and be delayed etc. I think this would seem reasonable if it did go to court.

 

Re your italic bit, is that for completing your AQ? If so, that's just what I put in mine and mine was allocated to small claims. Just check the amount you are claiming for is under £5000 as I think anything above this might not usually be allocated to small claims. I could be wrong though!!!

 

I also took a few photocopies of the AQ before I handed it into the court, so I can include it in my bundle and keep my own records.

 

I phoned the court as well and they were really helpful. Mine has been allocated to Small Claims and listed for 21st Feb but the judge has ordered that we exchange bundles on 15 December so it might be worth getting started on that as well.

 

Good luck and I'll keep an eye on your thread!

 

Jackie

Thanks Jackie. Just what I wanted to hear.

 

My claim is for £1000 so defo on small claim track. I did consider going for the higher interest rate like Dunnie's claim but decided that if I had to defend it I would lose all sense and reason.

 

I was hoping this would be resolved before I go back to work in Feburary. Don't think there is much chance of that now. My new target is Easter (it should just about pay for a holiday for us :D)

Happy New Year Everyone! Well it's been a long time without any news or movement but finally I have a court date 23 April 2007, Bow County Court. Bugger, after Easter... So I'm thinking I'll give them a call - maybe they want to settle early! Or is it way to early?

Oh my, they're taking a while to give court dates, Barclays have untill 5th of Feb to enter a defence so judging from your dates it's going to be a while before i get a court date and see this money.. oh well it just means more intererest.

 

Good luck with your claim and it can't hurt to give them a bell although i wouldn't get my hopes up.

Hi Mrs Froogle

So I'm thinking I'll give them a call - maybe they want to settle early! Or is it way to early?

Certainly won't harm your defence in court if you do the above.

However it seems Barclays are very keen to let this goto the wire.

For instance i phoned Barclays with 2 weeks to my court date and i finally received a phone call 3 days before i was due in court.

 

Good Luck with what you do.

Argyle.

Story So Far:

Pre letter sent 14th August.

Barclays Reply 18th August.

Barclays Reply 5th Sept.

Lba sent 30th August.

Rejection letter sent 9th Sept.

Barclays reply 13th Sept.

Mcol submitted 15/09/2006.

AQ received 21/10/2006.

AQ returned 23 /10/2006.

Court Date:25/01/07 10.30am

Phoned Barclays 08/01/07 Said they would contact me shortly.

22/01/07 Received telephone call from Barclays asking for a settlement figure.

CLAIM SETTLED IN FULL!!!!!!!!!

LOL Mrs Froogle.

Your splitting my sides Mrs Froogle.

I'm afraid you will probably have to send your bundles before Barclays entertain you with a settlement(Sorry)

When i phoned on the 8th my bundle had to be in by the 11th.

Barclays on the phone said that they will call me soon however they still have yet to receive my bundle(nice of them to remind me).

Thing is they never sent me their defence.

As soon as the defence hits their desks and your court date is on the doorstep they will settle.

Barclays said to me before we agreed settlement on my terms and i quote."Mr xxxxx we at Barclays do not wish to goto court therefore we wish this matter resolved today how can we make this happen"

That was the exact words said to me on the phone.

 

Hope it gives you more of an insight into the people you are dealing with.

I'm getting my teeth into the court bundle. Which will be in the post to them tomorrow.

 

I called the bank last week (ever so friendly like) and asked if they were sure they didn't fancy settling and frighteningly they said that the case was progressing and they'll see me in court. So I'm a little scared but I'm not running away.

 

Right in off to Lakeside to see if they sell any pretty wigs!

Hi Mrs F, I thought me and you were at the same stage at one point??

 

Just wanted to let you know that I have had my final settlement letter today for the full amount. My court date was set for 2nd April 2007, I got my bundles to barclays and the court by 12th March 2007 as per the order of the court, and then just hounded them by e-mail.

 

Good luck, you will get your payout soon!!
