    • 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.

    • 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, I am just wondering if anyone can advice me on what to do.

I took out a student loan while at uni during the 1997-2001.

I cannot remember paying or not paying towards the loan.

As I understood it if you are earning £2318 or less per month (as stated on the letter sent to me by honour student) you can defer payment.

I was made redundant in November 2010 and I am now self employed since January 2012.

I have not been responding to their letters for the past 6 years or so as I am not earning close to that amount.

I received a claimform through the post on the 15th of October from Northampton Court that I am owing £6236.16

Out of panic and confusion I didnt do anything

this morning I log on to the MoneyClaim website where I filed and sent off the Acknowledgement of Service that

"I intend to defend part of this claim.

As I only have 14 days to do so as I do not want judgement to be entered against me as I believe the amount I owe is way less that £6236.16.

My confusion is that I dont know what to do now.

Please any advice/information will be well appreciated.

 

Thanks

If this is an 'old' style student loan (which it looks to be) look here - http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?191527

 

And providing you have not made any payments for 6 years or acknowledged the debt in writing - 5 years in Scotland (or there is a gap of at least 6 years where you have not made a payment) then it will be statute barred.

Thanks Andy and 42man

The particulars of claims reads like this

1. The Claimant's (Honours Trustee Ltd) claim is for the sum of £5918.92 due under loan agreements between the Claimant (including predecessors in title) and the Defendant dated between 29/01/1998 and regulated by the consumer Credit Act 1974.

2. The defendant has failed to comply with the Default Notice served under Section 87 (1) on 16/12/2006 (I didn't think I received this from them)

And the Claimant claims

1. The sum of 5918.92

2. Interest pursuant to Section 69 of the County Courts Act 1984 totalling 27.24 to 15/10/2012 and continuing until judgement or payment at a daily rate of 1.29730

3. Costs

Drydens Limited t/a drydensfairfax solicitors.

 42man, Yes I do think its an old style student loan, but can I still statute bar even now that they've issued a court claim.

 

Thank you>

Providing you have not made payment or acknowledged within a period of 6 years then yes its SB, the Summons is irrelevant.

Assuming you have not made payment or acknowledged then follow the N1 (summons ) process..you have 33 days 5 deemed served so 28 (14 to Acknowledge Service and if defending a further 14 to submit your defence.

You will submit a Statute Barred Defence....that should extinguish the matter...end of.

I noticed you had submitted a 'partial defence'

the statute barred defence is a total defence....

I am interested to know how and if you can change the plea ?

No need to really 42 as a defence still has to be submitted and will still be treated as a defend all...the defence will reiterate that.The Claimant can not submit a N225/N227 (request for judgment)

Thanks guys,

 

As I understood it now, I need to send two letters back to the court. Hope I've got this right. My defence and the Limitation Letter.

 

1. Statute Barred defence link from 42man:

 

1 The Claimant's claim was issued on (date).

 

2 The Claimant defendant contends that the Claimant's claim so issued is a claim in contract and is statute barred pursuant to the provisions of section 5 of the Limitation Act 1980. If, which is denied, the claimant contends that the Defendant is in breach of the alleged contract, in excess of 6 years have elapsed since the date on which any cause of action for breach accrued for the benefit of the Claimant.

Do not allow denial as you know it to be true, change last sentence to ' the claimant should already be aware more than 6 years have elapsed between cause of action accrued and the court claim by their court submission.'

3 The Claimant's claim to be entitled to payment of £x or any other sum, or relief of any kind is denied.

 

I BELIEVE THAT THE CONTENTS OF THIS DEFENCE ARE TRUE.

Be more assertive and disallow doubt to appear, change 'believe' to 'am absolutely certain'

Signed:

 

Dated:

 

AND

 

2. The limitation letter from the thread (#19)

 

 

Sorry, just a little bit still confused hope I've got it right.

 

I will redraft mine now and keep you posted.

 

 

Thank you.

Hello,

Defence sent to the court. Thank you.

Good evening guys,

I received a letter from Honours Student Loans dated 30th October 2012.

Which reads as follow:

NOTICE OF SUMS IN ARREARS

Balance £xxxx.xx

We are required to give you this notice in compliance with the Consumer Credit Act 1974 because you are behind with your payments under the agreement.

This notice is for information purposes only and is not demand for payment. Please continue to direct all your correspondence and telephone calls to Drydens Solicitors.

I am more confused now. Why have they sent me this letter and what does it mean and what should I do.

Many thanks for advice.

No idea why they have sent this to you. Perhaps it was a document they should have sent years ago, but they did not. Anyway your defence is statute barred and they have to prove otherwise.

This amendment has been made in case of failure to give notice of sums in arrears in CCA 1974. Section 11 CCA 2006 inserts a new section - 86D - that sets out the consequences for a creditor or owner if he fails to give a notice as required by sections 86B or 86C.

 

If the creditor or owner fails to provide a notice of sums in arrears when required to do so, then during the period of his failure to provide the notice (i.e. from the date that it was required to be given until the end of the day on which it is eventually provided), he is not entitled to enforce the agreement.

 

Pity they issued it after litigation but they are trying...bless them.
