    • 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.

    • Yes, it was, but in practice we've found time after time that judges will not rule against PPCs solely on the lack of PP.  They should - but they don't.  We include illegal signage in WSs, but more as a tactic to show the PPC up as spvis rather than in the hope that the judge will act on that one point alone. But sue them for what?  They haven't really done much apart from sending you stupid letters. Breach of GDPR?  It could be argued they knew you had Supremacy of Contact but it's a a long shot. Trespass to your vehicle?  I know someone on the Parking Prankster blog did that but it's one case out of thousands. Surely best to defy them and put the onus on them to sue you.  Make them carry the risk.  And if they finally do - smash them. If you want, I suppose you could have a laugh at the MA's expense.  Tell them about the criminality they have endorsed and give them 24 hours to have your tickets cancelled and have the signs removed - otherwise you will contact the council to start enforcement for breach of planning permission.

    • 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.

from
Santander
link3.gif
Ltd...sent on the 19th july 2011 recorded delivery...I am going to dispute the claim so I will need help with the defence section if anybody can help out that would be great! They have filled the particulars of the claim as follows :-

 

The Claimant claims the whole of the outstanding balance due and payable under the terms of bank account referenced (never had a bank account with abbey!! Had a rolling loan if I recall??) and opened effective from 12/7/2002 with abbey National plc. The defendant failed to make payment as required and by 16/09/2005 a default was recorded. As at 12/11/2007 the defendant owed abbey national plc the sum of 4059.24. By an agreement in writing the benefit of the debt has legally assigned to the claimant effective 12/11/2007 and made regular upon the claimant serving a notice of assignment upon the defendant shortly after. And the claimant claims:- 1. 4189.24 2.interest in pursuant of section 69 CC act(1984) at a rate of 8% per annum from 12/11/2007 to 10/08/2011 of 1166.52 and thereafter at a daily rate of 1.17 to date of judgement or sooner payment.

Just a quick update of where I am at..

 

Found an old equifax CRF (13/11/2004) on my old PC, shows clearly the last payment was June 2004.

On my new equifax one it shows the same but then a default registered in sept 2005? I am a bit confused here!

 

I have sent my Acknowledgment of service back to NCCBC stating I will defend.

 

Sent a CPR31.14 letter (recorded to Stink financial) along with the Statute Barred letter.

 

Still Awaiting SAR return from Santander Bank.

 

I also used CPR15 for more time to enable my SAR to get here does that seem right?? Of course thats if they agree!!

 

Cheers

Hi can I just ask did you receive a letter from Link first advising that litigation costs had been added prior to receiving court papers. As my husband received a letter on a statute barred MBNA debt which we disputed with Link about 4 years ago. They have not sent any court papers but the debt has had around £2000 added on to it?

Here is your defence..... -

 

1 The Claimant's claim was issued on (date).

 

2 The Claimant contends that the Claimant's claim so issued is a claim in contract and is statute barred pursuant to the provisions of section 5 of the Limitation Act 1980. If, which is denied, the claimant contends that the Defendant is in breach of the alleged contract, in excess of 6 yearslink3.gif have elapsed since the date on which any cause of action for breach accrued for the benefit of the Claimant.

 

3 The Claimant's claim to be entitled to payment of £x or any other sum, or relief of any kind is denied.

 

I BELIEVE THAT THE CONTENTS OF THIS DEFENCE ARE TRUE.

 

Signed:

 

Dated:

I am still waiting for them to respond to my CPR31.14 request...still nothing..I also sent a statute barred letter again no response....Oh and as for SAR to santander still waiting again.....I have an old copy of my CRF to use in evidence if so needed! What do you guys think?? I am getting worried as I don't need a CCj registered against me at the moment!! :(

and in response to Magnum..I had it on a letter with the CC papers they haven't won yet so not sure how they can add this charge upfront. You may find that thats there interest rate at 8% and a bit more to boost there bank balance. They are a bit rubbish and seem abit clueless....lets hope this goes well for me as it maybe a lesson to them to stop chasing Statute Barred Debts.

Hi received this today...

 

The "cause of action" is from your last payment or acknowledgment isn't it not the time they defaulted the account? As its now got me really confused!

 

I still have had no proof from them and am awaiting there CPR 31.14 deadline Thursday 25th August. I have until 12-9-11 to file the defence so I am waiting to see what (if anything) appears from Link and Santander ltd. I will then use the defence above to sort this one out as without proof how can they go to court in the first place? :-x

 

Your Thoughts appreciated!

So they say:

 

“Thank you for your letter dated 15.08.2011. We refute that the account is statute barred. The cause of action in this instance commences from the date of the default on 16.09.2005 OH NO IT DOES NOT. THE DEFAULT DATE IS NOT THE CAUSE OF ACTION – IT’S RELATED TO THE LAST DATE OF PAYMENT OR LAST WRITTEN ACKNOWLEDGMENT and not the date the account was opened on 12.07.2002. We are proceeding with legal proceedings against you. OK THEN – MAKE OUR DAY. YOU WILL LOSE. YOU HAVE BEEN ADVISED IT IS SB AND STILL YOU CONTINUE – THIS IS VEXATIOUS AND PROBABLY HARASSMENT

 

 

They also confirm the default date as 16/9/05 – so they have no excuse for recording a later date with the CRAs and you have a slam-dunk case against them for reporting false data. The fact that it took the OC ten months to register a default is also unfair, but irrelevant to your case.

 

Are you absolutely sure about the last payment date? If you are, point the above facts out to them and quote the OFT debt collection regs at them re SB accounts.

Moreover, their letter is deliberately misleading and does not state the true legal situation. This is another offence. Complain strongly to the OFT and Trading Standards about these evil shysters.

My thoughts exactly donkeyB!

 

Its definatly statute barred as I had a clear up on my experian CRF, and the account on there has been removed (last july to be true!) as its over 6 years since the default date etc. I think they have been re-registering the default on equifax to keep it on file. They are indeed Shysters!!:x

Right I have my SAR in my hand from santander! No termination notices, no default notices just a CCA with some terms stapled to the form. The Statements of account are a bit miss leading though...and make no sense!! Things really don't seem right here! I made the last payment on 16/08/04, now there are payments made that aren't on my bank account statements (which was closed by lloyds jan 05), or my wifes statements (I use her account for my wages etc) either...to DMO CARD PAYMENT?? starting from 08/09/04 to 16/01/2006. They also show a draw downs from the account but after 2004 I never used it FACT! on the default date link are claiming there are payments shown throughout 2005 to DMO? (whatever that is!) I am a bit confused now as my bank account clearly shows no payments of the amounts or from my wifes account, nothing! I think I am being stitched up. :|

Right here they are!

 

The one page is a monster so be warned! For some unknown reason it didnt convert very well! :( I am going back down to the bank tomorrow with £10.00 in hand to see if they have any more info on any other account I may have had, but in all fairness its pretty slim as I know what happened to my account so was using the wife's one for everything.

indeed DonkeyB! I have checked the dates with some old Credit card statements aswell...nothing on them! At the time there saying these payments were made I was up against a wall (own business) with next to no cash available! I found a letter I wrote to Cahoot on 3 Sept 2004 asking to write off the debt due to hardship. Maybe thats why nothing has been recorded on CRF?? This is just strange... Hand on heart I never made those payments from oct 2004 - jan 2006..and I am pretty sure no one else made them for me! There is no termination notice, default notice either? does that mean stink are illegally chasing the debt?

Will do!

 

Is there a letter template to send as I have already used the SAR on them? Or should I just call Santander and ask for evidence of payments i.e last four digits of card or account alleged DD/payments were from? Its looking bad from this angle now...as I have a signed agreement? If they don't respond to the CPR31.14 within 7 days, do I then send a N244 form? not really sure what to do now.

Hi,

Initially as time is ticking away I would get on the phone to the office who issued the SAR and simply ask them to explain what DMO card payments are and what "transferred to MTA (DMO)" means. Ask them to confirm the source of the payments as you have no recollection of making them. I wonder if it's some sort of internal accounting, appropriation or charge off. If at all possible record the call.

Once you have their answer ask that they confirm it in writing as a matter of urgency. They should, after all, have included a guide to abbreviations in with your SAR.

Hi Elsa,

 

I rang them today and tried to be as sheepish as possible but I still managed to get no answer from them what " Transfer to MTA" meant! I recorded the converstation and it seems as if she was just trying to get me to aknowledge the debt. I tried to play it cool, but now I am worried I have just started the 6 year clock again... :-( Does it matter as its now going to court?

In that case, send the a part 18 request asking:

 

According to statements relating to this alleged account, payments noted as "DMO card payment" were made into the account between the dates of xxxx and xxxx following a note "Transferred to MTA (DMO)". I have no knowledge of such payments therefore please clarify:

1.The meaning of "DMO card payment"

2.The meaning of "Transferred to MTA (DMO)"

3.The precise nature and source of the payment eg internal accounting, payment by individual, offsetting etc

4.If an individual, The account name, reference number, bank and method of payment.

 

 

You can add any other valid queries too. Send to sols by next day special delivery and give them 7 days to respond.

 

I've attached a compendium of useful info from the legal threads...a part 18 template is in there.
