    • Hi, we are looking to get some opinions on weather or not to bother fighting this PCN. This comes from a very big retail park parking where there are restaurants, hotel, amongst other businesses. The parking is free but I suppose there must be a time limit on it that I am not aware of. We were in the area for around 4 hours. Makes us wonder how they deal with people staying in the hotel as the ANPR is on what appears to be a publicly maintained street (where london buses run) which leads to the different parking areas including the hotel.  1 Date of the infringement 26/05/2024 2 Date on the NTK  31/05/2024 3 Date received 07/06/2024 4 Does the NTK mention schedule 4 of The Protections of Freedoms Act 2012? [Y/N?]  YES 5 Is there any photographic evidence of the event? Entry and exit photos however, based on the photographs we are almost sure the photos are taken on public street. This is the location I believe photos are taken from.  https://maps.app.goo.gl/eii8zSmFFhVZDRpbA 6 Have you appealed? [Y/N?] post up your appeal] No Have you had a response? [Y/N?] post it up N/A 7 Who is the parking company? UKPA. UK Parking Administration LTD 8. Where exactly [carpark name and town] The Colonnades, Croydon, CR0 4RQ For either option, does it say which appeals body they operate under. British Parking Association (BPA) Thanks in advance for any assistance.  UKPA PCN The Collonades-redacted.pdf
    • Thank you for posting their WS. If we start with the actual WS made by the director one would have doubts that they had even read PoFA let alone understood it. Point 10  we only have the word of the director that the contract has been extended. I should have had the corroboration of the Client. Point 12 The Judge HHJ Simkiss was not the usual Judge on motoring cases and his decisions on the necessity of contracts did not align with PoFA. In Schedule 4 [1[ it is quite clearly spelt out- “relevant contract” means a contract (including a contract arising only when the vehicle was parked on the relevant land) between the driver and a person who is—(a)the owner or occupier of the land; or (b authorised, under or  by virtue of arrangements made by the owner or occupier of the land, to enter into a contract with the driver requiring the payment of parking charges in respect of the parking of the vehicle on the land; And the laughable piece of paper from the land owners cannot be described as a contract. I respectfully ask that the case be dismissed as there is no contract. WE do not even know what the parking regulations are which is really basic. It is respectfully asked that without a valid contract the case cannot continue. One would imagine that were there a valid contract it would have been produced.  So the contract that Bank has with the motorist must come from the landowner. Bank on their own cannot impose their own contract. How could a director of a parking company sign a Statement of Truth which included Point 11. Point 14. There is no offer of a contract at the entrance to the car park. Doubtful if it is even an offer to treat. The entrance sign sign does not comply with the IPC Code of Conduct nor is there any indication that ANPR cameras are in force. A major fault and breach of GDPR. Despite the lack of being offered a contract at the entrance [and how anyone could see what was offered by way of a contract in the car park is impossible owing to none of the signs in the WS being at all legible] payment was made for the car to park. A young person in the car made the payment. But before they did that, they helped an elderly lady to make her payment as she was having difficulty. After arranging payment for the lady the young lad made his payment right behind. Unfortunately he entered the old lady's number again rather than paying .for the car he was in. This can be confirmed by looking at the Allow List print out on page 25. The defendant's car arrived at 12.49 and at 12.51 and 12.52  there are two payments for the same vrm. This was also remarked on by the IPC adjudicator when the PCN was appealed.  So it is quite disgraceful that Bank have continued to pursue the Defendant knowing that it was a question of  entering the wrong vrm.  Point 21 The Defendant is not obliged to name the driver, they are only invited to do so under S9[2][e]. Also it is unreasonable to assume that the keeper is the driver. The Courts do not do that for good reason. The keeper in this case does not have a driving licence. Point 22. The Defendant DID make a further appeal which though it was also turned down their reply was very telling and should have led to the charge being dropped were the company not greedy and willing to pursue the Defendant regardless of the evidence they had in their own hands. Point 23 [111] it's a bit rich asking the Defendant to act justly and at proportionate cost while acting completely unjustly themselves and then adding an unlawful 70% on to the invoice. This  is despite PoFA S4[5] (5)The maximum sum which may be recovered from the keeper by virtue of the right conferred by this paragraph is the amount specified in the notice to keeper under paragraph 9[2][d].  Point 23 [1v] the Director can deny all he wants but the PCN does not comply with PoFA. S9 [2][a] states  (2)The notice must— (a)specify the vehicle, the relevant land on which it was parked and the period of parking to which the notice relates; The PCN only quotes the ANPR arrival and departure times which obviously includes a fair amount of driving between the two cameras. Plus the driver and passengers are a mixture of disabled and aged persons who require more time than just a young fit single driver to exit the car and later re enter. So the ANPR times cannot be the same as the required parking period as stipulated in the ACT. Moreover in S9[2][f]  (ii)the creditor does not know both the name of the driver and a current address for service for the driver, the creditor will (if all the applicable conditions under this Schedule are met) have the right to recover from the keeper so much of that amount as remains unpaid; You will note that in the PCN the words in parentheses are not included but at the start of Section 9 the word "must" is included. As there are two faults in the PCN it follows that Bank cannot pursue the keeper . And as the driver does not have a driving licence their case must fail on that alone. And that is not even taking into consideration that the payment was made. Point 23 [v] your company is wrong a payment was made. very difficult to prove a cash payment two weeks later when the PCN arrives. However the evidence was in your print out for anyone to see had they actually done due diligence prior to writing to the DVLA. Indeed as the Defendant had paid there was no reasonable cause to have applied for the keeper details. Point 24 the Defendant did not breach the contract. The PCN claimed the Defendant failed to make a payment when they had made a payment.   I haven't finished yet but that is something to start with
    • You don't appeal to anyone. You haven't' received a demand from a statutory body like the council, the police or the courts. It's just a dodgy cowboy company trying it on. You simply don't pay.  In the vast majority of these cases the company deforest the Amazon with threats about how they are going to divert a drone from Ukraine and make it land on your home - but in the end they do nothing.
    • honestly you sound like you work the claimant yes affixed dont appeal to anyone no cant be “argued either way”  
    • Because of the tsunami of cases we are having for this scam site, over the weekend I had a look at MET cases we have here stretching back to June 2014.  Yes, ten years. MET have not once had the guts to put a case in front of a judge. In about 5% of cases they have issued court papers in the hope that the motorist will be terrified of going to court and will give in.  However, when the motorist defended, it was MET who bottled it.  Every 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.

Good day everyone,

 

long time reader, first time writer.

 

just thought I should share my experience, it might help some people.

 

 

Newlyn has been harassing for quite sometime now, probably up to a year now. It is regarding a parking ticket from Brent Council. I have received numerous text messages from Newlyn bailiffs such as "bailiffs are in your area and will remove your goods, go home quickly", "we are coming today to remove your goods, see you at 11.30am", some distressing text messages as well as letters.

 

Anyway, I kept ignoring them, but today (9 Oct 2012), I was paid a visit by a Newlyn bailiff, saying he is here to seize my vehicle unless I pay £431 immediately, I got my phone and started video recording, I first asked for his I.D., he showed it to me, I wanted to take a picture of it, but he refused. He said I dont need to record but I kept on recording, he said do I have the money, to which I replied no, but as I am not working, I am willing to make monthly payments, but he refused and demanded full payment.

 

I said, I cant give you what I dont have, he then parked his vehicle in my driveway, saying he's not going to leave until the tow truck gets here, I said fine, whatever makes you happy. I kept on video recording, I went up to his face while he was in his vehicle and kept on recording, he said why am I behaving like this, that I must be suffering from a disease, I said thanks for the insult and kept on recording, he was in his vehicle for about 20 mins, and then came out and said last chance, the tow truck is coming, I said I dont have any money but I'm willing to make monthly payments.

 

He then demanded I give him the keys to my car, to which I refused, he went back into his vehicle and I kept on recording, I then asked to see a documentation of how it mounted up to £431, and he refused saying that after I make payment, he will then give me the breakdown. I kept on recording, going round his car, recording everything. He then came out and said that he has to leave but he has called the tow truck and they can come anytime to collect the vehicle, then he left.

 

I just wanted to ask you guys for your opinion on the whole situation. Also, I am going to send the documents, emails and video to the OFT and file a complaint as well. These guys have been disturbing my life, the bailiff today he insulted me verbally and was quite rude.

 

Thanks for reading, I really appreciate it, and I apologize for any typographical and grammatical errors.

honestly, I dont recall any PCN from Brent Council.

 

I presume that you can ask the Brent Council parking enforcement people for evidence of the PCN.

 

That is what I suggest that you do. Contact the council and get them to furnish the proof.

Just a thought, did you own your car around the date of the alleged PCN, or have you bought it in the last 15 months or so? This could make a big difference, as then you wouldn't even be the debtor, and all that evidence and txts etc archived would be good in a complaint.

Sounds like from your description that you acted in a childish manner in this situation,

Why couldnt you just be up front - look im not working heres my dole book this is how much ive got coming in each week/month etc rather than deliberetly trying to make a scene by putting your phone in his face

The warrant of execution is valid for just 12 months. You had said that Newlyn have been in touch with you fo about a year. You should make enquiries about this.

 

If you had not received any statutory notices ( in particular the Notice to Owner) then you are legally able to file an Out of Time Witness Statement. All enforcement will then be on hold. The bailiff enforcement will then cease.

 

I would almost certainly suggest that you call Brent Council to make enquiries about this PCN.

how old is your car whats its value ?

 

 

Newlyn has been harassing for quite sometime now, probably up to a year now

 

do you know the date of the warrant

 

value of the car is probably around £600.

Yes it was childish but it needed to be done, I have told him that I am not working, yet he insisted that I pay the full amount, I stressed it enough that I'm willing to make payments, but still demanded full amount.

That was a totally unhelpful comment to make. Far from being childish, it was a brave action to take and it may help others who are scared of bailiff visits. Maybe the OP was lucky that the bailiff was not as aggressive as some though it could also be that by videoing him, it prevented him from actions he may have taken with some one less able to stand up for them selves.

Rubbish. This is my opinion, an opinion and observation. Just because it isnt in line with yours and others narrow minded opinions about debt collection doesnt make it any less valid. Now we can only go off what the OP says, and the impression i get is that the OP had/has no intention on paying the parking fine and chose to attempt to antagonise the bailiff that came around, probably causing him to dig his heels in a bit instead of going away armed with the info regarding being unemployed which could of been easily passed over.

No you are wrong, I want to pay the fine, but the bailiff wanted the full payment on the spot. Why wouldn't I want to pay what I am owing, all I asked was for documentation (breakdown) of the charges and a payment plan, but he refused and was quite rude. More so, I told him I was on job seekers, told him I can bring proof if he wants, but he was not interested, all he wanted was £431 right there and then.

Whatever the whys and wherefores, if OP had no knowledge of the PCN until newlyn turned up, then the OOT may be an option, As to filming a bailiff, well I would make a point of doing so, for the bailiffs protection as well as mine, I would film them as a favour if a bailiff called on any of my neighbours also.

You obviously do have opinions but to suggest that I and others on this forum who think that bailiffs are an anachronism in the 21st century are narrow minded would perhaps

indicate that you are a bailiff or your sympathies rest with them rather than people who are in financial trouble.

Senusret it would seem strange that the bailiff would not have clamped or even levied on your car when he was there. perhaps the Warrant had expired and all he could do was to put the frighteners on you.

Do not lose the video it may become very helpful to you later.

It looks like the warrant has expired, in which case the bailiff has no lawful back up, and on another thread, I will find it later, apparently it cannot be renewed after the 12 months, so is on dodgy ground imho, as yes he would have most likely clamped the car by now otherwise.

You say newlyn have been leaving letters and sending text messages for about a year and to quote your original post

"anyway, i kept ignoring them" doesnt sound like you want to tackle this really.

Also suggests this isnt the first the OP has heard about this.

And just because my answer to the original post isnt the same as every other thread and poster

-bailiffs in the wrong

-complain to company council and form 4

-must be fraud by false representation

-must be making the fees up

-remove the companies license

Does not mean i must be a bailiff

Op needs to tell exactly when they first knew about this, were they the car owner at the time of issue of the PCN, did they buy it after the PCN, and the bailiff has data cleansed the warrant in some way, but whatever it is now likely out of time?

 

We cannot move forward with advice without more background information.

yes, newlyn and their bailiffs have been in contact for a year and whenever I call them, asking and begging them to set up a payment plan, they both refused and threatened if I don't pay the full amount immediately they are coming to seize goods, I've called newlyn on several occasions and their reply was either you pay up now or we'll leave it to the bailiffs to seize your goods, I told them my circumstances and everything but they refused to negotiate and kept sending me threatening letters and text messages all the time. More so, I don't remember receiving any PCN from Brent council, they have not even told me the date the incident happened, at least I'll now if I was the owner at that time. All they want is £431, right now, they cant even give me a breakdown. Anyway, I've filed a complaint against them.

Just concentrate on what you need to do.

 

Contact Brent for a copy of the PCN. ( There may still be a way of appealing this, depending on the details)

 

Once you have that, if it is all in order and there are no grounds for appeal, the see what you can do to settle the PCN based on your ability to pay and to only pay the bailiff fees that are legit.

We could do with some help from you.

Any statements made by certificated bailiffs and their employers that are not supported by hard evidence should ALWAYS be treated with suspicion and ALWAYS checked out with the relevant authority, etc.. NEVER take what a certificated bailiff says at face value.
