    • 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.

    • 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.

O-k, so let me get this right, pre 07, they must be able to provide the original so the CPUTs is used to force them into admitting whether they have the necessary original? Thus staving off any possible court action from our trigger-happy fiends before they even think about trying it on?

 

Interesting... Do we know that this actually works or is it something experimental? Don't get me wrong, I'd love to be able to stop the fockers in their tracks, but... it nearly sounds too good to be true, lol.

 

The main reason for my unease is that my understanding of the CPUTs is that they are solely for enforcement by the OFT, then again what we're talking about when all is said and done is basically calling their bluff, and once they know we know they're bluffing they back off?

 

As I said, very interesting if it works, so if anyone has links to the basis of this and threads to show that it works, I'd be very grateful. It feels very exciting though, like the bank charges thing when it first started, feeling like re-inventing the wheel, lol.

Quite simple pre 2007 the original signed agreement is

required to prove the debt in court.

There will always be buts and if's etc., but

that's how it stands.

Yes, I get that, that's not news, what I am interested in is how the CPUT fit in that. I don't know about you, but I have always preferred to stop them dead before they even try to go to court rather than having a biased judge deciding that the law doesn't apply in his court, sadly something which has happened to far too many CAGgers in the past. I find the idea of something stopping them as surely as a statute-barred letter except on a live one utterly delicious, remembering that a lot of people will fold rather than taking the chance of going to court, not the hard nuts like you or me who aren't fazed either way.

I don't understand the BIASED JUDGE comment, the judge

can only decide on what is fair and reasonable on the evidence

put before him/her if the defendant OR claimant FAIL to make their

case then this is not bias against them, the basis of of civil law

in England & Wales is based on the fairness to each party and

the ever present BALANCE OF PROBABILITIES after many years

around various ''types'' of courts from Military,Magistrates, County, and High,

I can say honestly I have NEVER witnessed bias from a Judge, from a jury yes

many times and from those in the legal profession just a few.

End this weeks rant:madgrin:

Well you can't have been reading older threads then, both in bank charges cases and in debt cases, CAG is littered with poor beggars who went in prepped up to the max and ended with a judge saying: "well, did you borrow the money, yes or no? Then pay up" regardless of the other side's failure to provide correct CCAs (pre-Manc test case), riding roughshod over Wilson and s127 etc... For myself, I have been lucky to only have once case where the judge was biased against us, but I still won on a narrow issue of the CPR and timescales to accept new evidence in absentia of the other party, not going to bore you with the details, but it was purely that technicality which meant the judge could not rule against me, but he was itching to do so and even said so as we left, once the record was switched off.

 

Anyway, apologies to Hippy for hijacking his thread, and thanks to him for the explanation. :-)

 

I have found P1's thread on the CPUT as a tool and have bookmarked for later leisurely reading, that should keep me out of mischief for a bit and hopefully into even more mischief afterwards! :-D

After 40 years I have seen no more than 2 or 3 cases

of judges being showing any favour detrimental to

a party to a case, but many who have shown compassion

and understanding, from possession orders to debt repayments.

IMHO if anyone does not like the civil justice system work to change

it, but we have the best in the worl.

Yo set something going here...... Yep think a change of career is needed here,,, maybe a bit old now to start training for law..... To put it bluntly,,, a Judge would have to be a fool to go against what is common law or statued law... on the princible that one of the debtors may end up taking it to appeal... Now I think like the Brig is trying to say,,,, It does not matter a jot that the evidence of borrowing the money is overwhelming with statements and your gold rolex on in court. The law says that the original CCA is needed for the debtor to satisfy themselves that the company has kept to there side of the agreement. Most DCA's OC's no this,,,!!! and when push comes to shove will quietly slide away sell the debt to a mug DCA and write off against tax... The law is the law is the law..... Ask any circuit judge or county court judge and the thing they most hate is having there decisions over turned on appeal and with the reason being they failed to read case law... ( simples ) No house of Lords for them in this life time...

Hi Hippy,I know many people knock the judges,

but as one who is involved if the working of the

civil law more often than I like, it does work,

it is fair, judges are clued up, and reasoning.

Without the two founding principles of ''fair

as the man in the street'' would see a problem

and the balance of probabilities we would be back

to debtors prisons.

Does any one want that.!!????

Well, we'll have to agree to disagree, both as a LIP and a Mackenzie friend, plus the umpteen testimonies on CAG, not forgetting some of the most erratic decisions higher up (a reconstituted copy as good as a true one? Pull the other one!) (banks charges are not penalty? Yeah sure!), my not-inconsiderable experience is somewhat less rosy as yours. ;-)

All in all I would say that the legal system is as fair as any human being can make it in this country. I have no worries about corruption I think most judges pride there selves on carrying out there tasks without bias and Favoritism . Like referees in a football match you will always get the chant of unfairness !!!!!!! I think the proof is in the pudding, if those barstools of DCA's and OCs' had the judges in there pocket I would have by now been up in front of a civil court... ( simples ) they know as I have told them on many occasions if you don't like what I am offering see you in court... THREE YEARS AND £40K OF DEBT STILL THE HIPPY IS COURT FREE... ( think that say's enough )

Not at all, what it means is that because they know you will be hard work, they don't even chance taking you to court. If you were one of the victims, then they would issue N1 like confettis in the hope to get themselves CCJs galore.

 

I didn't say that all judges are biased, but thinking they all are unbiased is naive to say the least.

 

As for my posts being incomprehensible, anyone who has followed the bank charges and debt court cases scenes for the last few years should be able to know exactly what I'm referring to. All the info is on CAG for starters. If you find it incomprehensible, maybe you are not as informed as you claim to be.;-)

 

Well, I'm going to be offline for the next 10 days, so have fun all of you and don't let the b*****s grind you down. :-D

e-mail received from Argoose,,, they do not understand CPTUR. I am requesting that they send a copy of the original CCA they hold. Nothing as yet, accept someone else's.. they have offered to remove the late fee payments at £84.00...

 

Firstly, with reference to the Credit Agreement we sent you, I do not understand what you mean by “CPTUR rules”. We have an obligation under Section 78 of the Consumer Credit Act, to provide you with a true copy of your Credit Agreement if you ask for this. I can confirm that the Credit Agreement you were sent on 7 September 2011 is a true copy of the agreement you signed when you opened your Argos Card account on 24 May 2003. I have attached the same Terms and Conditions to this email and apologise if they differ from the Terms and Conditions you received in the post.

 

We have fulfilled our obligations under Section 78 of the Consumer Credit Act and I must stress that we are not obliged to provide you with the original, signed copy of your Credit Agreement. Please can you confirm why you are not satisfied with the details we have provided you with, as I need to be clear on whether or not you are alleging that you did not sign in agreement to the Terms and Conditions of your Argos Card Account

My thoughts exactly P1,,, The poor lady who's SAR I had received had her completed and signed CCA... I think they have not got one to send.. Why all the bother I did point out to them that if they proceed to court they will have to disclose whether they have one or not.

 

Again they are having kittens in respect to the Breach of DATA PROTECTION, they have taken my case back, have offered to wipe out all the late penalties etc etc I have again reiterated I want the original or to inform me if they have it... simples.
