    • 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. The Particulars of Claim is denied in its entirety. It is denied that the Claimant is entitled to the relief claimed or any relief at all. Signed I am the Defendant - I believe that the facts stated in this form are true XXXXXXXXXXX 01/05/2024   Defendant's date of birth XXXXXXXXXX   Address to which notices about this claim can be sent to you

    • 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.

As already reported in the media over the past couple of weeks a lot of ASDA stores have already got Santa's grotto in place ready for Xmas & have been selling Xmas lines for ages. SWMBO has just come in from work and told me that they are now expecting their delivery of the Easter eggs on Boxing day.

 

She was also given her 'Xmas stocking' from work which contained party packs, nuts etc.

It's flipping everywhere! My local bargain card shop has their Christmas range out, as does my local newsagent and chemist. One of the bookshops has all their Christmas Annuals out as well! One of my Facebook friends has started her Christmas countdown (status update every day saying how many days are left) and changed her name to something like "Santa's Little Helper" or "Christmas Pixie" or something equally depressing.

 

Wake me up on the 20th of December, please...I don't want to hear about any of it until then!

For manufacturing/supply purposes, YES they do.

 

Its called profitability.

 

Nothing you buy from them will have been made in the U.K. to enable a constant supply on the run up to Xmas.

 

Its been imported. Its here. Its in the warehouse. Its probably been paid for a year ago.

 

So, get it out on the shelves and sell, sell, sell.

I Wish you everything you wish yourself.

 

NatWest Claimed £1,639. Accepted £1,344.

Natwest Paid me again as GOGW £1,656. Yes they can have it back if they say please.

Barclays 1 Claimed £1,260. Won by default. Paid in full

Barclays 2 Claimed £2,378. Won by default. Paid in full

Birmingham Midshires. Claimed £2,122. Accepted £2,075.

I've already been doing some Xmas cards, I make my own and in the crafting world there is 'Xmas in July' where you dig out the unfinished stuff from last year, start on long term projects (so you might finish them in time for THIS year) and generally see what you might need to get to continue feeding the crafting habit!

 

Yes, Xmas stuff sighted in Poundland and other shops - apparently they had such a bad time with the garden stuff this year they are hoping people might buy early for Xmas this year.

We went to JTF warehouse yesterday, and they were packed out with Christmas lights, decorations, cards etc - it was quite surreal to see tinsel and sparkling Christmas light next to BBQ's and patio sets :lol:

Never use ASDA as found them to be more expensive than Morrisons and lower quality!

 

I'm not a lover of Asdas quality, but I think the quality of most supermarkets has gone down hill, with the exception of Waitrose, but we all know how expensive that place is :lol:

 

I only use supermarkets now for items such as toiletries etc, I use my Butchers for meat, the market or greengrocers for fruit and veg, and I go to the Asian shop when I visit my friend for my spices etc.

Good attitude but the problem is the supermarket is convenient so you buy all your stuff there. Many times we have gone in to make a few purchases and walk out with a trolly load of stuff! :x

After getting tickets to be in the audience of a very well known TV show recording a few months back, we arrived on one of the few hot days of this year to find out they were recording the xmas special. the whole audience was sweltering, fanning themselves, shedding as many clothes as they could and the poor panel were dressed up in santa padded outfits, woollen scarves and hats and other winter paraphernalia! :madgrin:

Me too, even though I don't buy meat or veg in ASDA or any other supermarket anymore, it's as good as any for the things I do need! And their kitchen stuff is great!
