    • Your case is not looking too good at this stage. Not helped by the car park not appearing on Google Street view.  Interesting that UKPC seem to think that Walcot Yard is off Walcot Road when it is off Walcot Street. Part of Walcot Yard has the postcode BA1 5DW which is a building called North Range. You would have to find out where in Bath they would know the specific post code for the car park there since if it were the 5DW ending you may be able to claim that you weren't in BA1 5BG Walcot yard, Walcot Road, but BA1 5DW Walcot yard, Walcot Street.  But probably the main help would come from the site manager. A  written statement from him explaining the informal situation with the land owner or better still  finding out who the land owner is  and contacting them might help. though getting UKPC to cancel at this late stage will be next to impossible. I see they are trying to scam you out of £70 or is £60? 1. £160 being the total of the PCN(s) and damages. Amount Claimed ~170 Either way in this case the Judge threw out the whole case-please read it and understand it as you may be questioned on   G4QZ465V EXCEL V WILKINSON. Also please write to UKPC asking if the £60  charge includes vat and if it does, does it include vat and why should you be paying their vat. And what are the damages you caused? There may be other arguments you can raise when you receive their WS though they are often sent late to make it difficult to add to your WS. Time is of the essence though for some of the items above. their is no speed limit, now will do. 🙂
    • Thank you  FTM Dave. I am happy to fight them and not pay the £60/£100. I would be grateful if you can advise next steps I need to take on this. Many thanks
    • So what was the driver supposed to do?  Input the reg in the store if they were a genuine customer or pay if they weren't or some such nonsense? Anyway, get onto the CEO of Sainsbury's  https://www.ceoemail.com/s.php?id=ceo-9117&c=Sainsbury's-Chief Executive  and lay it on thick about being a genuine customer and show proof of purchase - and ask that they get the ticket cancelled. Some businesses are superb - Asda.  Some are absolutely useless - McDonald's.  We simply don't know about Sainsbury's as we have so few threads.  But nothing ventured ...    
    • Sorry I don't understand the request, do the sticky too?
    • The Alice in Wonderland logic is that as you weren't using the local business - Starbucks - you were supposed to pay to park. You're right, the whole thing is a scam, and has been shown up to be a scam in the national press and on national TV. We have about 140 cases for the site. Despite all their huffing & puffing MET have only started court action in seven cases.  In not one have MET had the bottle to take the matter to a hearing though, so far they've discontinued when the Cagger defended.  They obviously don't want their scam to be exposed in court. Sure, you can pay £60 and the matter will go away. We would prefer you paid £0 and fought them though - we would support you all the way.

    • 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.

Well done.

 

This sounds to me that the DVLA are not contesting defended cases but are happy to get default judgments on the cases where the defendant does not show or defend!

Surely this is wrong!

I add my "Well Done". Great for you.

I bet you feel a million dollars right now - and so you should, taking on a Government Department, in Court for the first time, and winning hands down.

 

Good luck with the coming child too. It has a Mum to be proud of.

And how do the Magistrates deal with the uncontested and no-shows that followed in the batch of identical cases listed for the day ?

Surely they must query this with the Prosecutor in the light of the case ?

Hi all,

Well today I had my day in court. and it took me 8 minutes(I timed this- sad I know) I literally walked in after being called in. and the prosecutor said to me these are the charges and then went through what I hadnt done- ie not notify the DVLA and that set me off with well actually yes I did!! when he showed me my SECOND letter to the dvla and I asked where the first one was he said he didnt know he didnt have it with him and I said well there we go! I then went on to explain that he should also have on his records that I had bought and paid for new papers costing me £25 so why would I buy new paperwork then NOT send it???? I was shocked when he said he fully agreed. what shocked me even more was when he said ok well I can see that you have taken all the necessary steps and we wont persue this.... I said well what now? and he said you're free to go. I asked if he meant for the day or go for good?? he said no we're done nothing more will come of it I can go... I didnt need telling again I RAN out of there! after staying up till almost midnight last night getting all my interpretations act facts straight I was expecting to put up one hell of a fight. It was either that he was in a good mood for the weekend or felt very sorry for such a heavily pregnant woman or realized quickly he didnt have enough to go on. Either way I had my day in court and thank goodness its over now!

Canute a particularly big thanks to you for all your help and information you sent!

I hope every one gets off as easily as I did. Im so glad now I didnt pay that fine on a moral level because in my case I did get my justice and those DVLA swines didnt get a penny off me!!

 

You should write to the Clerk of the Court and request at the very least your traveling expenses or any other losses as a result of their actions.

PUTTING IT IN WRITING & KEEPING COPIES IS A MUST FOR SUCCESS
