    • 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 myself and partner (named on policy) are in a situation whereby we have been accused of a RTA where the motorcycle rider has sustained injuries. This Claim is for early last year and we no longer have the car although were in possession at the time. We have been served a court order giving us 14 days.- This is the first we have heard about this.

Now the bottom line is that we were have no involvement in the incident it happened over 70 miles away (annoyingly close) and we have both never been to this location. The entire court report and case details are geared towards the personal injury and reports from medical proffessionals. Apparently after the accident the motorcycle rider went to hospital but there is no mention of police prescence/a police report, the colour of 'our' car, what happened at the scene did we drive off or stay etc.

I should mention the rider is claiming to have damaged his leg and arm whilst we were making a turn in the road without any notice.

I should mention there is contstant reference to 'she' in the case but these are the details the car is registered to at the DVLA.

Now my partner panicked as is due to soon give birth and this is the last thing we need plus our car insurance is soon to be renewed.

 

We have contacted the insurance company as we pay for legal cover they asked us to fax or details and said don't respond to the court order or send back any forms (for example the one that gives us extra time to lodge a case.)

We are now extremeley concerned this is going to affect our no claims as the insurer could just decide to pay and not challenge. I have since phoned them to say that we are not involved so it is not a question of blame/liabillity and they should not pay out under any circumstances.

 

Please please where do we stand - sorry for the length of the post we are trying to weigh up our options - Go the insurance company route and risk losing no claims/increased insurance premium or represent in court and risk (knowing our luck) losing and paying court costs. We cannot for the day in question really prove exactly were we were all we have is photos taken on that day from our camera (not of us), facebook entries from a computer around the time of the accident, nothing I imagine a court would take as 'gospel'.

Really annoying situation either the guy is trying to [problem] or maybe just the wrong registration details, car clone?

 

Any input would be much appreciated bearing in mind we have liitle time or resource to throw at court time and costs.

I understand it would be up to him to prove we or 'she' was there not the other way around also the guy has our address as we have his so what is to stop him getting a 'description' from coming to see us.

 

Tried to provide as much info as poss HELP HELP please

You did the right thing forwarding the Court docs to you insurers, they will take I from here although questions need to be asked as to why your insurers allowed matters to proceed this far.

 

By the sounds of it there was just a mistake with you details. Either that or you number plate has been cloned.

 

I think the Claimant needs to clarify you car make/model etc and a description of the diver.

 

This claim doesn't sound "false", more a case of mistaken identity.

Hi,

Sorry I forgot to mention - no one informed the insurance. This is the very first we (and our insurance company) have heard about the accident. I presume the man who is putting in the claim never got in touch with his insurance to pass on the info as they would surely have got in touch with my insurers??

Its all very confusing!!!

Thanks

That can't be the case. Your insurers would have been notified at the outside of his claim, they wouldn't just issue proceedings against you. You need to speak with your insurers again.

I am a little perplexed, would you mind shedding a bit more light on what you said.

 

Just to clarify the alledged incident happened over a year ago and before our latest renewal (same insurer) The first that we heard of this was a few days ago from a Solicitor acting on behalf of the claimant for what appears to be a personal injury claim. Are you saying that the solicitor could not make the claim directly against us without checking insurance details and then contacting the insurers. Is this law?

 

Our insurer has stated that they have no records of this incident. It is perhaps likely the guy didn't claim against his insurer at the time as he is now claiming discomfort damages , hire car, repair bill etc. There is no mention of his or our insurer in the documentation.

 

It's as though he's had an accident, didn't claim, found a registration, phoned a no win no fee solicitor and they've sent this to us.

 

Your opinions are greatly appreciated.

The Claimant's solicitors would have done a check on the cars reg and from that they can find out the name of the insurers and the policy number.

 

What is the exact date of the accident?

 

The Claim would have to have been submitted electronically to the insurance company if the accident was after 30th April 2010.

Mid May 2010! As far as I'm aware his insurers at this stage are not involved! The claim has been made by this guy directly to an accident Solicitors, Appearingly claiming in the main for personal injury plus repairs. Strange don't you think?

Yes this is a personal injury claim.

 

They way it works is a claim is submitted via his acting solicitors to YOUR insurance company, his insurance company are not relevant to his claim and would not be involved as an injury is an 'uninsured loss'.

 

Like I said the claim has to first be submitted to YOUR insurers so I would speak to them and press for an answer as to whether they have ever been notified of the claim.

 

The only reason you have been served with Court forms is because your insurers have failed to reply to his solicitors.
