    • 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
    • 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 
    • 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.

    • 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 Shammy, affixed is the statement for Q10 of the N244. You need to enter the information where there are XXX's at the top (remove the XXX's), the info will be on the eviction notice.

 

When you print it off make sure the printer is set for A4 paper not Letter size.

 

On the letter that was sent to them last September and also their reply - write the claim number on the top left hand corner and Appendix 1 on the top right hand corner.

 

Do the same on the letter from the DWP stating their error, except it will be Appendix 2, and the same again on the letter you sent last week + the proof of signature and that will be Appendix 3.

 

No assemble as follows:

 

N244 signed

Statement for Q10 - signed

Appendix 1 - letter you sent in Sept and their reply

Appendix 2 - letter from DWP re their error

Appendix 3 - last week's letter + signature proof

 

This forms your pack for court. You will need to take a photocopy of it all before stapling each set. Take one set to the court with the £35 fee (cash) and keep the other set for you to refer to in court.

Hi Ell-enn,

 

Just been to the court and put the application to suspend in.

 

They have given the date for the hearing at 10am 31st March one and half hours before the eviction is due. I need to have my mind put at rest here , as the very surly woman at court has said that depending on on what the judge says the eviction may still go ahead !!!!!!!!:eek: This cant be right can it ???

 

Regards Sham

It happens quite often that the hearing is on the same day as the eviction. I'm sure it will be OK though - judge's don't tend to give possession on the same day. When the lender sees your defence I think they'll cancel the eviction ;). They may try phoning him to let him know it's cancelled, make sure he takes the call !

Hi Ell-enn ,

 

Your PM made me laugh !!:D

 

O K , managed to convince him not to offer them more than he could afford and sat with him while he made the call , and listened on speaker phone. Well , they could not have been nicer , they even told him that if he paid on time for six months he could have the arrears capitalised as long as head office approves his proposal (sounds like they have the defence !) So she said she would refer it to head office , and try and get back to him today.

 

Lets wait and see what happens then !!

Hi Ell-enn,

 

Just a quick update for you.

 

Rang them this morning to see if anything on the proposal my brother put to them on friday , and they said nothing yet as it had only been sent today. I think this is going to go to the wire with these people ! the only thing i have done is send off a complaint to the fos today (recorded delivery) regarding charges they have been adding to his account since its been in arrears

Regards

Don't panic, attend the hearing and put your case forward - I'm sure the judge will find in your favour.

Yes, you should be able to go in with him - ring the court this afternoon and ask permission for you to accompany him due to his health - as you are his brother I can't see a problem.

Hi Ell-enn ,

 

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!! :D:D:D:D What a great judge we had today ! He ripped their barester apart and told them this should never have come to court due to the circumstances , and even reduced my brothers offer of £80 per month to £50 per month and wished him all the best with his recovery and said good luck with his complaint to the fos.

 

Ell-enn , thank you so much for all your help we could not have done this without you , THANK YOU , THANK YOU , THANK YOU !!!! :D

 

Warmest regards

 

Sham
