    • 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.
    • 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. The Particulars of Claim is denied in its entirety. It is denied that the Claimant is entitled to the relief claimed or any relief at all.

    • 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.

This was an error. I phoned and they did a 'Set Aside'. Annoying that judgement cast in stone can be issued so casually.

 

Anyway I received the 'Set Aside' letter which came as a relief but I also received rather disturbing letter from another company offering to help me in my predicament. Disturbing because they knew exact date, amount and the case ref. number. How did they get hold of it so promptly!!

 

On the update side, I am waiting for the originals to come through... and I have to prepare a witness statement next. Not sure what this is, so will need help and ideas.

Hi Shanidev ,I would not worry too much about letter offering help , I guess they obtained information from court when judgement wrongly given by default. A friend had been given a CCJ by default without any knowledge of case until a company sent a letter offering help and giving case no ,date and amount of CCJ , from that moment she was able to check if CCJ existed and eventually have CCJ set aside. Hope this helps

Thanks Andy for coming to my rescue once again. Pardon my ignorance. What does 'severely prejudiced' mean in this case. and, do I have to fill in a form or just the letter.

 

On the update front, I haver made a 'Formal Complaint' to MBNA as advised by FOS re not sending any of the docs (DN, Assignment letter, statements etc). I was paying £1 which I have stopped. Looking at the statements thye continued to charge hefty interest while accepting £1 and never sent me any statements.

The request and inspection form part of the Notice of Allocation and are therefore Directions to be obeyed.(Standard Disclosure)The Court can strike out for any non compliance hence my suggestion to make a call first inform them and get it before the Case Managers nose.They may advise you to make an application but that would be a costly gamble and not serve purpose.

 

No statements = no interest.No Arrear Notices = no interest and no enforcible litigation.

If interest is being added then is it in their T&Cs to allow this and if it is then no Sec 69 interest can be added either if stated that within their particulars of claim.

 

severely prejudiced = to jeopardise your version of events and unable you to rely on their documentation.

 

Regards

 

Andy

I tried calling them for two days without success (high volume of calls... someone will assist shortly). Then I dropped letter into their letterbox outside the court (they are closed during my lunch hour). I finally managed to get them on the phone. To my shock they had not even seen the letter because of heavy backlog. So, he took the letter out while on the phone and promised to bring it judges attention and advised me to continue with schedule on the order.

 

I now need to prepare WS. Not sure what to put on there but some of the points I can think of are:

 

-Varde did not have a license at the time they went to N'ton Bulk Centre

-MBNA did not send the CCA, DN, Assignment letter or the termination letter

-they did not send statements for the last 8 of so months

-Assignment letter is not dated

-few things like Statement of case and correspondence common to both parties missing

-the only DN I received was from Experto Credite and that had different A/C number to the one they are quoting now

-MBNA are still investigating my complaint

 

That's all I can think of from the top of my head

 

Just been reading through Carey vs HSBC but need help in constructing Witness Statement.

Just been reading through Carey vs HSBC but need help in constructing Witness Statement.

 

 

A couple of things I need to clarify..

 

They say the default date was 31/08/2009. But didnt I see that they had issued a Notice of Default back in April 2009 ? Then then appear to have produced a Default Notice (proper) which you say you have never seen prior to the claim having been issued ?

 

 

 

Default under s87 (1) Consumer Credit Act 1974

The Claimant pleads that the Defendant breached his contract. By virtue of a breach of contract and pursuant to s87 (1) Consumer Credit Act 1974 the Claimant is required to serve a default notice in the form prescribed by Consumer Credit Default Enforcement and Termination Notices Regulations 1983(The Regulations). No notice compliant with the Consumer Credit Act was served therefore the Claimant is barred from terminating the agreement and demanding the sums claimed from the Defendant. The first sight the defendant had of any such Notice was when it was requested under CPR.

 

Was the document they sent, which claims to be the agreement, signed by you ?

 

 

 

Did they have a valid licence at the time of assignment ?

 

Furthermore, the Defendant notes that the Claimant did not hold a valid consumer Credit licence contrary to the Consumer Credit Act 1974 when the purported assignment took place. The Defendant avers that the Claimant committed a criminal offence pursuant to s39 Consumer Credit Act 1974 by virtue of unlicensed trading. For the avoidance of doubt the Claimant did not obtain a licence until DATE under licence number 1234567 as set out on the Office of Fair Trading’s Consumer Credit licence register.

 

In the event that the Claimant seeks to rely upon an agent as a Consumer Credit Licence holder the Defendant will refer to the case of Hicks v Walker and Frank Reynolds Ltd -[1999] GCCR 721 as the authority which sets out this is not permissible where the principal company does not hold a valid Licence to conduct the activities which require such a licence.

 

 

Not sure I can help much further.

7th April letter was intention to register a default.

 

Application 'what the call agreement' I did sign - at a motorway services - they were doing promotional hawking

 

Not sure if they had the license at the assignment time as no date is given there but they did not have license when they started court proceedings.

 

Current Credit license (0643780) was issued on 22nd June 2011 and they don't have 'Right To Canvass Off Trade Premises' whatever that means

In response to pm..

 

I have attached some Guidance Notes on producing Witness statements.. it runs to 3 pages.. but 2 of htem are examples.

 

There is also a Witness statement that had been provided for another cagger.. a lot of the information in it is well out of date. so unless checked.. please dont use it.. this is an example only.

 

In respect of the charges, you need to put everything you are going to rely on into your Witness statement.

Did you both have to "file and serve" = submit to court and send to one another ?

 

If so, then check with the court to see if they have received anything - if they have then ask for a copy, you might be charged a copy fee.

 

Do you have an email address for the opposition, If so, I guess you could drop them an email and remind them, they are late !
