    • 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.

    • 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,

 

My friend got 4 macbook pros off the net a while ago (it was one of those pricing error things, she was lucky, it was only around for about 20mins) anyway, she didn't have an ebay account so I sold them under mine, and she agreed that I could buy myself a macbook and a iphone. As soon as the money went into paypal we spent it but we also transferred some into my bank, however one of them disputed and the money that was going into my bank (it was going to cover p+p as we had spent the rest) was placed on hold so I couldn't get them posted meaning the other two got mad and disputed. In the end I told the final guy to dispute as I will set up a new account and deal with him later. So now I owe paypal £3700. I have heard that they will get people to call you and write letters, which is fine. I can ignore them, and as for the calls, I can deal with those too. But I am wondering if anything else will happen? I am going to shut my bank account down too so they cant sting me there, but the way I am lead to believe things is that

 

I have signed nothing. They can't call baliffs because they need a ccj against me, they can't get one of those because I haven't signed anything....

 

Being perfectally honest buyers are not out of pocket, me and friend are not out of pocket and paypal chose to refund them, they could have said no....

 

Am I right?

The fact you signed nothing is irrellevant, you entered into a contract with Paypal (electronically), I dont quite follow the details, it sounds strange you can claim that some of the (disputed) money was for P&P and therefore you couldnt post the other items, you should of used your own money to post the items !.

 

To be honest it all sounds rather odd and I wouldnt be surprised if the police were involved, whilst it is generally true that Paypal (and any DCA's they pass accounts onto) dont start legal action for smallish amounts I would of though that for £4000 they would and without a good defence you may well end up with a CCJ, you cant expect to just keep such a large amount of money (and I assume the laptops too ?)

You should have known better than use paypal for that amount of cash. I use them lots but never for anything much more than £20 due to the fact that so many buyers get done over. I'd go along entirely with the previous reply on the other points.

I agree with andydd. Would not surprise me if paypal looked to involve the Police. If the Police are not interested that I would think the minimum you would expect are solicitors letters threatening court and if you don't repay anything you owed, this will end up in court. Having a CCJ on your record might prove costly.

We could do with some help from you.

So you sold four macbook pros for just under £4,000, then you didn't actually send a single one of them to a buyer because you couldn't afford to post even one of them but you did spend a large chunk of the cash you received on a macbook and an iphone?

 

And these macbooks were bought cheap due to a website pricing error in the first place.

 

And now you want to know what the chances are that you will get away with it?

 

The Consumer Action Group is populated with people who try to help others who have been wronged by organisations and the paypal/ebay cartel is pretty near the top when it comes to creating problems for innocent people yet I personally feel no desire to offer you the slightest bit of help with your problem. This could be because I consider your actions fraudulent or at best immoral and believe any problem you face with Paypal and ebay is undoubtedly self inflicted and fully deserving of both a criminal investigation and a civil recovery.

 

This probably isn't the answer you sought coming to this website, you probably just wanted to get a fair estimate of the likelihood of you being able to hang on to both the £3700 cash and the four macbooks and the other macbook and the iphone.

 

I would however gladly help any one of your four buyers who came here because they were £100's out of pocket for a laptop purchased yet never received or anyone else at all who is having problems with the paypal/ebay refund system because purchased goods either didn't exist or were not delivered.

I have to agree with Jasper, I have bought a product recently from a supposed friend and it looks mighty dodgy so down the pan for £250. sold my motor bike to acquire some basic stuffs when moving back into my home vacated by wife. To be ripped off by a friend is just the icing on the cake of two years of misery. Don't know if it is worth a small claims court... the other thing is I have to work with her.... hmmmmmm Come on to ever is up there give the Hippy a break.

Although I believe that Paypal would of refunded the buyers, therefore it is Paypal out of pocket, If I was them I certainly would start legal action.

Am I right?

 

No you are not right.

 

Paypal were left with no choice but to refund the buyers after you failed to send them the goods, it's in the t&c's, this guarantee is one of the primary reasons people use paypal to purchase from ebay.

 

The buyers may not be out of pocket but I'd wager that none of them are happy about having to wait for the dispute to be resolved just to get their money back, something that can take months to accomplish.

The only bit you are correct about is stating that you and your friend are not out of pocket, there's many would say you made a tidy little profit from this venture.

I'm also puzzled why you would sell a macbook and use the money to buy a macbook, only reason I can think of is that the original macbook didn't exist. Pretty sure that's how ebay etc. will see it too.

As of 03/03/12 please do not under any circumstances wait for my further input or guidance on any current thread or defence of a court claim I might have been involved in on or through Cag.

What happened to the four laptops, sold again privately maybe?

 

Wheres the money?

 

Speant again maybe?

 

Please do not sell on ebay again. What gets me is the op seems to think he deserves sympathy and no one is out of pocket, which indicates to me a good CCJ slapped on backside will be a good result. I do hope your friend helps you pay your CCJ, not, as it is you they will be after, guessing your friend will dissapear!!!!!

I doubt it dadofholly, probably do it for a living.... As Jasper say's think of the stress and worry the buyers had.!!!!! Experience myself of these Shi*sters and of being ripped off by so called colleagues and friends. Might slap a CCJ on a working colleague for £250.00. Unless she come's up with my money back. Dodgy iphone, should have gone with the old adage if it's to good to be true it probably is.!!!!!!!! buyer beware
