    • I have just read the smaller print on their signs. It says that you can pay at the end of your parking session. given that you have ten minutes grace period the 35 seconds could easily have been taken up with walking back to your car, switching on the engine and then driving out. Even in my younger days when I used to regularly exceed speed limits, I doubt I could have done that in 35 seconds even when I  had a TR5.

    • 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.

    • 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, I didn't put down an amount in the N244.

 

Also I just wanted to mention that I'm worried of over comitting because of the possible raise in iterest rates that might happen because of this inlfation problems right now, our variable rate currently is still 4.9% (whcih I think is a disgrace seeing as NR was state ownded but that's another discussion I guess) so if there is any rise I'm sure NR will be passing it on straight away!

Also I should mention that my mum is staying with me at the moment, she moved back to Poland a few years ago but has been over for a few months as she has been diagnosed with some form of blood disorder which she is having tests for and so needs to be in the country for while, this is also why its really important for me to keep the flat at the moment as I don't know where she would stay if we get evicted.

 

Thanks

Are you saying there was no offer of payment on the N244?? and those people were really going to charge £995 - unbelievable!

 

You'll definitely have to offer something and submit the budget sheet. I'll do a statement for you over the weekend and you'll just have to hand it to the judge in the hearing but I have to say I'm not hopeful of you getting away with not paying the surplus income.

Hi, thanks Ell-enn, appreciate it!

 

I am happy to pay the extra £1K toward arrears like in the original requirement, I would be able to pay a bit once I start recieving my pay rise but i won't actually see the extra money until May as it takes time for the agency to pay me and then myself a dividend.

 

If you need any more info just let us know.

 

Thanks again!

Sorry just another quick question, we can probably afford to pay £1700 on monday morning for this month payment, do you think its worth doing that or should we wait to see what the outcome is, its just that if the hearing goes against us I would need the money to find somewhere temporary at short notice.

Also if we do get evicted do you know if we would be able to move our furniture at later point.

 

Thanks!

You should take proof that you have £1,700 ready to pay immediately. You will also need a copy of the contract and a payslip.

 

If the worst does happen you can ask the judge for time to move out - he might give another 7 days.

The proposal I have sent to NR is a payment this month of £7500 and monthly payments of £4K – 5K each month moving forward.

 

You stated you had offered NR the above payment plan - if you put that offer in writing you can bet their solicitor will bring it to court and the judge will want to know why you are only offering £1k now. I really think you are going to struggle with this.

Hi, thanks again! Yes I have a copy of my new contract, just received it on Thur, its actually for a further 12 months, I just noticed! I have all copies of payments from the agency ready.

 

When I first received the intent of eviction on 20th Nov I rang them up straight away and was told that I would have to offer a huge lump sump and substantial monthly payments for to even consider stopping eviction. I wasn't aware of the Norgan case law and the 13.3.2 FSA rules at that time so I panicked and offered these silly amounts just to do anything to keep the flat, I was going to use the money I have set aside for tax to pay this and worry about paying my taxes later but I don't think that would be good idea.

 

The thing is from the agency I get paid approx £5800 a month but I have to pay tax and NI from that at the end of my companies tax year so I have to set aside an estimate to cover that, so far I've been setting aside £1800 but to be honest I don't think that is actaully enough, I should really be setting aside £2300 just in case which would reduce the surplus slightly.

Hi, I've written a statement for you to take to court. You will have to decide how much you are going to offer to pay each month and put the figure in where there are XXX's in the statement.

 

You need to fill in the info where there are other XXX's in the statement (remove the XXX;s) read through it carefully to make sure everything is OK. When you print it out, your printer needs to be set for A4 paper (not Letter size) so it all stays on one page.

 

On the copy of your contract write the Claim number on the top left hand corner and Appendix 1 on the top left hand corner.

Do the same on the budget sheet except it will be Appendix 2 and also on the proof of being able to pay £1700 - it will be Appendix 3

 

 

Now assemble as follows:

Statement - signedContract Appendix 1

Budget Sheet - Appendix 2

Proof of funds available - Appendix 3

 

This forms the set to take to court. Staple it all securely together, you will need three copies of the set - one for the judge, one for yourselves and one for the other side's rep.

 

Get to the court early and ask the usher if they can give a set to the judge to read before the hearing - if they say it's too late you will need to hand it to him in the hearing. When in the hearing, wait for the judge to finish his intro then say " Sir(or Madam) may I give you an up to date statement" and then just hand it over - pass a set to the other side's rep at the same time.
