    • 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.

Many thanks for raising the point Ell-enn, and for answering ot Ploddertom. I've just checked and confirmed that this is correct. I think I'll take both n244 and n245 along ready filled in tomorrow so both avenues are covered and either one submitted.

Am I correct in my belief that once one of the above forms has been submitted that pending bailiff action must be put on hold.?

 

If you are successful with your application for a Stay then all Enforcement action & charges will be halted pending whatever grounds you have applied on. If you are not successful or only apply for a Variation on the N245 then this does NOT halt enforcement action. At the present time the application for a Stay is the most important.

I'm happy to be corrected as I've never tried to assist with HCEO warrants - I know you can stop bailiff action on warrants with a N245 application to suspend as I've helped with those on several occasions. I have to say though, our local court advised that an N245 could be used for HCEO warrant when I rang them this afternoon.

Looking through both forms it seems that the n244 gives a better opportunity to state the details of a case and the opportunity to provide a range of supporting evidence, whilst the n245 appears to be more income, expenditure and statement of finantial affairs (I assume that you would have the opportunity for additional evidence with this one as well though)

I'll fill in both forms to be sure.

I'm still not sure if I should take along evidence/photos of the forced entry - will that give weight to the urgency of the issue or should I just stick to the monetry aspect of the case?

Hi Ell-enn

 

A lot of County Courts come unstuck with Stay applications as they usually only see the words High Court and try to refer you to RCJ or one of the District Registries. This is because they are not a common or garden application and some Courts may only see 1 such application every 5 years. Often in the mistake is made whereby the Debtor enquires and says they have a Bailiff in which case the N245 is correct. I know of some who have applied for Stays on N245 only to be contacted a few days later to say it is the incorrect form so not only do they need to start again but also need to pay more.

Hi

 

I have also had dealing with The Sheriffs Office, their charges are very high and if you get a breakdown of them you will see they are charging for things not allowed for in Schedule 3 Regulation 13.

 

I have also reported them to Office of Fair Trading who are also looking into my complaint and any other further complaints they get against this company. Please write to them to help others in this situation.

 

We applied for a Stay of Execution by filling in form N244, if you can take this direct to the court you may get an emergency hearing as we did. The warrant was suspended.

 

Good Luck

SuzanneH, many thanks for your message. Our n244 was submitted today and will go before a Judge in the morning.

as soon as this initial stage is resolved I will be following up with a complaint, and will certainly include the OFT.

I do wonder how they can even have the gall to attempt to justify charging us in the region of £1200 for two letters through the post and a couple of visits.

If you are not going to the Court yourself, make sure you ring the Court after it has been looked at by the Judge to make sure you get an early hearing.

 

I can send you a copy of Schedule 3 Regulation 13 and a copy of what The Sheriffs Office try to charge if this would help.

 

Keep positive.

We're now waiting for the judge to come to a decision on monday (he hadn't had to deal with an n244 before so went away for the weekend to fully understand it and the implications!) so the next step is to complain about the actouns of the bailiff - any tips?
