    • next time dont upload 19 single page pdfs use the sites listed on upload to merge them into one multipage pdf.. we aint got all day to download load single page files 2024-01-15 DBCLegal SAR.pdf
    • If you have not kept the original PCN you can always send an SAR to Excel and they have to send you all the info they have on you within a month. failure to do so can lead to you being able to sue them for their failure.......................................nice irony.
    • Thank you and well done  for posting up all those notices it must have have taken you ages.. The entrance sign is very helpful since the headline states                    FREE PARKING FOR CUSTOMERS ONLY in capitals with not time limit mentioned. Underneath and not in capitals they then give the actual times of parking which would not be possible to read when driving into the car park unless you actually stopped and read them. Very unlikely especially arriving at 5.30 pm with possibly other cars behind. On top of that the Notice goes on to say that the terms and conditions are inside the car park so the entrance sign cannot offer a contract it is merely an offer to treat. Inside the car park the signs are mostly too high up and the font size too small to be able to read much of their signs. DCBL have not shown a single sign that can be read on their SAR. Although as they show photographs which were taken the year after your alleged breach we do not know what the signs were when you were there. For instance the new signs showed the charge was then £100 whereas your PCN was for £85. Who knows, when you were there perhaps the time was for 3 hours. They were asked to produce  planning permission which would have been necessary for the ANPR cameras alone and didn't do so. Nor did they provide a copy of the contract-DCBL  "deeming them disproportionate or not relevant to the substantive issues in the dispute" How arrogant and untruthful is that? The contract and planning permission could be vital to having the claim thrown out. I can find no trace of planning permission for the signs nor the cameras on Tonbridge Council planning portal. and the contract of course is highly relevant since some contracts advise the parking rouges that they cannot take motorists to Court. I understand that Europarks are now running that car park which means that nexus didn't  last long before being thrown out.....................................
    • Hi,   I am not sure if I posted this already here but I don't think I did. I attach a judgement that raises very interesting points IMO. Essentially EVRi did their usual non attendance that we normally see, however the judge (for the first time I've seen in these threads) dismissed the notice and awarded me judgement by default because their notice misses the "confirmation of compliance" paragraph. in and out in 3 minutes (aside from the chat at the end with the judge about his problems with evri) Redacted - evri CPR loss.pdf
    • Just to update this. I did apply to strikeout and they did not attend the hearing. I won by defualt and the hearing lasted 5 minutes (court only allocated 15). The judge simply explained that the only matter he was really considering is if the Defendant could have any oral evidence to defend the claim. However he said he had decided that based on their defence, and their misunderstanding of law, and their non attendence he did not think they had any reasonsable chance so he awarded me SJ + Costs on the claim form + the strikeout fee. Luckily when I sent the defendant the order I woke up the next day to a wire trasnfer for the full sum of the judgement

    • 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 Mike, Andy HB and everyone.

 

thanks to everyone at CAG - you guys are really fantastic. And yesterday when i came out of that miserable court room, the sun was ou, it wasn't cold and the world was lovely.

 

So the next thing is getting the money. !!

 

Again, we've been at the receiving end. We know he will now plead poverty and drag this on. whats the best, the most expedient and brutal (I mean that in the nicest possible way) way you know?

 

Also, can you advise. he did threaten to me that if i sent bailiffs around to his house, he would come round and kick my head in (I am sure he meant that in the nicest possible way also, and again, at CAG we can all understand this.) But I am not an institution trying to take advantage, I am just some bloke off the street whose struggling like everyone else.

 

look forward to your comments

thanks very much

Wrecked.

HI Andy

 

he's self employed but he's working so - yes he's in Employment.

Yes i guess it is a forthwith judgement - the Judge said he will put down 14 days for full settlement. The Defendant said he wont be able to pay that and the Judge said then he will have to make his own arrangements with the court.

 

Judgement was for Debt +interest + all costs

 

All the best/Wrecked.

Hi Andy

 

Thank you for your message, i guess its going to be tough now trying to collect the debt. I dont want to join the "dark side " against CAG and become one of the enemies!!!!

 

He is living at home with his mother and the house is in his mothers name. There is no mortgage on it. His mother is on a pension and he is working. He did tell me a while back when he was making out that he was earning over £ 150 a day and he has a job at weekends. So he can easily repay my loan - he had just chosen not to.

 

So I really will have to go through all my options because i dont think the guy has any intention of settling the debt - even with judgment.

 

All the best/Wrecked.

Your enforcement options are very limited.

 

1) Charging Order - Not an option as not a home owner.

 

2) Attachment of Earnings - Not an option as self employed.

 

3) Bailiffs - Lives with his mum so not likely to have many possessions.

 

3) Bankruptcy - Not an option.

 

4) Third Party Debt Order - You'll need to find out more information but unlikely to be fruitful.

Hi Everyone

 

Great news - received a cheque for full amount from the other side. So lets hope it clears this week!!!

Thanks every one for helping me out. I could not have done it without CAG and Andy and Mike - thats for sure.

 

i have a question - how do I stand if i wish to sue the same guy but for a different debt. I helped him out by paying some of his credit card bills.

There is no agreement regarding these but its clear i did pay them and i have all the records. i did not want to mix the two up.

Glad to hear he settled Wrecked...saves further aggravation.

 

 

You can litigate as many times you wish against the same defendant...so long as its a different matter/debt.

 

Very pleased this has been resolved for you.

 

Regards

 

Andy

Hi Andy

Many thanks for yr advice.

 

Hi Ganymede

The arrangement/verbal agreement at the time of the loan was that he would repay it after a couple of months in full.

The Judgement was that he was to repay in full on or before 04 March

 

His cheque has not cleared yet though - may be it will clear tomorrow.

I guess though, given the seriousness of the matter, it will clear.

 

thanks/All the best/Wrecked.

Hi Everyone

 

i am just about to make a different claim to the same guy and wanted to be clear on a few things a i had being doing some research

 

1. if i submit a new claim would it be considered an abuse of process?

2. I do not think so as this is a different matter - hence i did not combine the two as i said earlier.

3. Having done a search on the guy and on finding that he does not really have assets to seizes should i win the case how do i stand about seeking him to furnish an indemnity against my costs.

4. can he put an application for me to put up an indemnity against his costs?

 

I will set up a different thread as soon as i start the new claim as i am sure i will need help and guidance.

 

many thanks

Wrecked.

If the second claim relates to the same set of circumstances as the first claim, then relitigating those circumstances is an abuse of process. If the second claim relates to a completely different set of circumstances and is not related to the first claim, then it should be fine. The deciding factor is what facts you need to prove to make your claim. Your first claim relied on an agreement to pay back the money and breach of that agreement - if you are relying on the same agreement it is an abuse of process, otherwise it should be fine.

 

You cannot force him to provide an indemnity for your costs. Security for costs orders are only available to Defendants. Claimants are expected to take Defendants as they find them. In any event, security for costs is not available in the small claims track. The small claims track limit is now 10k.

 

If you are claiming more than 10k, he can ask the court to order you to make a payment into court as security for his costs if he wins. Security for costs orders are not particularly common and can only be granted if restricted conditions are met, e.g. if he can prove that you are about to become bankrupt or are taking steps to hide your assets.
