    • 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.

Hey just posting to bump this thread and get an answer... (he's my other half!)

 

What should Capitain do now??

 

Should he say hes not accepting this until he knows his charges and remind him the clock is still ticking or what?

 

Any standard letter templates we could use?

 

I have to say he is pretty jammy - I am just about to fill in court claims for £75 only with Clydesdale and he gets an offer on his data protection letter - gha!

Dont accept anything yet, you need to get the statements first. If they have another week or so until the SAR deadline, it might be worthwhile giving them a nudge....I did and I think it helped. I sent them this....

 

Data Protection Act 1998

Subject Access Request

Dear Sir/Madam

 

ACCOUNT NUMBERS: xxxxxxxxx and xxxxxxxxx (sort code xx-xx-xx)

 

I handed in the above request at my local branch on Friday 1 September 2006. At that time, I gave 40 days notice to reply and, whilst that time has not yet expired, I have heard/ seen nothing. I trust that this matter is in hand and is being dealt with at the moment.

The latest date for receipt of this information is 11 October 2006 and I thought I should write a brief reminder to ensure that this matter is processed in a timely manner, and to avoid any breach of your obligations under the Data Protection Act.

I look forward to hearing from you in early course

 

Yours faithfully,

weej

 

 

hope this helps:grin:

Thanks weej.

He's called the bank to ask about statements and will also pop in a letter today (he can't get onto the net so I'm posting on his behalf)

One thing we were wondering though...

They sent him a mandate saying that he will accept the £236 as a full and final solution to his complaint in relation to bank charges, so basically if he accepts it then thats its done and dusted. They say the money will then be credited to his ISA on conclusion of it all.

Why would they credit to his ISA and not his bank account??

not sure why they would do this, but my understanding is that he can get it paid to anywhere (ie to accounts or by cheque), so YOU decide where it goes.

 

As I said, it sounds a bit like they are trying to pull a "flanker", so hold firm until you get your statements - it wouldnt surprise me if their offer at this stage is any more than 30-40% of what you are due (it could be consideerably less!!!)

 

Good luck!

Thanks for the info, and also to my lovely girlfried - as due to work commitments i was unable to ask.

 

I called the bank and awaiting them to give me a call to ensure the statements WILL be sent out.

 

Although i spoke to Customer Relations, who knew very little other than the fact that i had been offered £236 as a settlement.

 

This intrigues me to think its more.

 

Thanks again Weej, i'll update with any progress...

Just to let you know, I was made my first offer at the weekend, just over 50% of what I'm owed. Good to see the wheels of commerce are still turning.

 

Keep the faith!

Information received right on the 40 day deadline! :rolleyes:

 

Totalled it all up and it comes to roughly about £520.

 

Now here is where my dilemma is - the bank offered me £236 a few weeks ago, should i send the LBA or send them the acceptance of partial payment letter?

:confused:

Personally, I would combine the 2, reading that you will accepttheir offer as part payment, but that should they not settle in full within 14 days then you will file at court.

 

Thats kinda what I did.

In fact, sod that! simply start of your letter by acknowledging the offer "further to your letter dated...." and simply paste the standard LBA after.

 

Dont worry about it....anything is ok just now, providing the wording of the LBA is in there and you give them sufficient notice (14 days) before filing.
