    • I have received a PCN from Euro Car Parks for MFG - Esso Cobham - Gravesend. I was completely unaware that there was any such limit for parking and always considered this to be a service station. I stopped there to use the toilet, have a coffee and made a couple of work calls. I have read the previous topics on this location which suggest I can ignore this and ECP will not take legal action. The one possible complication is that the vehicle is leased by my employer so I do not want to involve them with the associated reminders and threatening letters. The PCN was first issued to the leasing company Arval who have notified ECP of the hiring company. I have attached a copy of the PCN Notice to Hirer with details removed as per instructions. What options do I have or should I just pay the PCN promptly at the reduced rate of £60? img20240424_23142631.pdf
    • What you have uploaded is a letter with daft empty threats from third-party paper tigers.  Just ignore it. What we need to see is the original invoice you received last October or November.
    • Thanks for posting the CPR contents. i do wish you hadn't blanked out the dates and times since at times they can be relevant . Can you please repost including times and dates. They say that they sent a copy of  the original  PCN that they sent to the Hirer  along with your hire agreement documents. Did you receive them and if so can you please upload the original PCN without erasing dates and times. If they did include  all the paperwork they said, then that PCN is pretty near compliant except for their error with the discount time. In the Act it isn't actually specified but to offer a discount for 14 days from the OFFENCE is a joke. the offence occurred probably a couple of months prior to you receiving your Notice to Hirer.  Also the words in parentheses n the Act have been missed off. Section 14 [5][c] (c)warn the hirer that if, after the period of 21 days beginning with the day after that on which the notice to hirer is given, the amount of unpaid parking charges referred to in the notice to keeper under paragraph 8(2)(f) or 9(2)(f) (as the case may be) has not been paid in full, the creditor will (if any applicable requirements are met) have the right to recover from the hirer so much of that amount as remains unpaid; Though it states "if any applicable ...." as opposed to "if all applicable......" in Section 8 or 9. Maybe the Site could explain what the difference between the two terms mean if there is a difference. Also on your claim form they keeper referring to you as the driver or the keeper.  You are the Hirer and only the Hirer is responsible for the charge EVEN IF THEY WEREN'T THE DRIVER. So they cannot pursue the driver and nowhere in the Hirer section of the Act is the hirer ever named as the keeper so NPC are pursuing the wrong person.

    • 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.

Unless you are financially linked in some way which shows on your credit file a search of your wife's financial status would not show your CCJ, besides it is your debt not hers & she is not legally responsible for your debts.

Just to let you know. I got several CCJs when my business went bust. When I went to court the judge took my husbands earnings into account as well as mine.

 

My husband has managed to get finance since. His credit record is fine.:-)

Ahhh! Good bit of news for a change, thank you both!!!! i know a lot of people relish the idea of taking on the big-boys in court, but it's not for me can't be living the life of watching the post or the phone calls, will hopefully pay what i can afford (bet my admission papers go missing till after judgment even tho they were sent recorded!!!)then will be asking you for more advice... As i've said would rather pay my monthly whatever and stop them from bothering me or am i being naive here?and try and get on with things!!! Thanks again to you both for some good news for a change...

 

But it did ask me on the papers only for my expenditure on the reverse and not my wifes or will this come at later date! the other bit that got me was include overtime etc but if you put down what you earn 1 month then no overtime the next you could have a big shortfall there?

Put zero down for overtime as it is not regular.

The first time I went to court I only put my earnings down as that is what the form says to do. When the judge asked me what my husband earned I said that I did not know so the judge declared I pay £500 per month!!!!

The next time (CCJ No. 2) I took a list of all the monthly payments we make and both our wage slips and the judge was a bit kinder.

By the time I got to CCJ No. 5 I had discovered that you should also list money for clothes, Christmas savings and money put aside for house repairs, petrol costs.

just got a bit scared there wino 500 pounds i'd be heading straight for the friendly jacket if that happens! what if it does can i appeal that cos i have nowhere near that amount to pay off the two that have claimed against yet alone the other two who at the moment am not behind with, but once i now what my ccj's are going to cost a month then i can give payplan a ring about the other two? Any advice?

Don't worry I just got stitched up as I did not have a clue what was going on. You have CAG to help you:wink:

 

If you make a list of all your incomings and outgoings including the things suggested above the judge will look at what you have left and make a decision on that. If it is too much then you can appeal.

 

It is important to make the list. The first time I went to court I did not know the rules and did not put down travelling costs to work. food & clothes, house maitenance etc That is why I got caught out. Mine was a business debt and the company I owed wanted to make me bankrupt the Judge felt I could afford £500 because of my husbands earnings.

 

The last time I went I had a proper realistic list and the Judge declared that I should pay my creditor £20 per month. The £20 was on my list for playing the lottery. She said that was the only spare money I had.
