    • I have received a PCN from Euro Car Parks for MFG - Esso Cobham - Gravesend. I was completely unaware that there was any such limit for parking and always considered this to be a service station. I stopped there to use the toilet, have a coffee and made a couple of work calls. I have read the previous topics on this location which suggest I can ignore this and ECP will not take legal action. The one possible complication is that the vehicle is leased by my employer so I do not want to involve them with the associated reminders and threatening letters. The PCN was first issued to the leasing company Arval who have notified ECP of the hiring company. I have attached a copy of the PCN Notice to Hirer with details removed as per instructions. What options do I have or should I just pay the PCN promptly at the reduced rate of £60? img20240424_23142631.pdf
    • What you have uploaded is a letter with daft empty threats from third-party paper tigers.  Just ignore it. What we need to see is the original invoice you received last October or November.
    • Thanks for posting the CPR contents. i do wish you hadn't blanked out the dates and times since at times they can be relevant . Can you please repost including times and dates. They say that they sent a copy of  the original  PCN that they sent to the Hirer  along with your hire agreement documents. Did you receive them and if so can you please upload the original PCN without erasing dates and times. If they did include  all the paperwork they said, then that PCN is pretty near compliant except for their error with the discount time. In the Act it isn't actually specified but to offer a discount for 14 days from the OFFENCE is a joke. the offence occurred probably a couple of months prior to you receiving your Notice to Hirer.  Also the words in parentheses n the Act have been missed off. Section 14 [5][c] (c)warn the hirer that if, after the period of 21 days beginning with the day after that on which the notice to hirer is given, the amount of unpaid parking charges referred to in the notice to keeper under paragraph 8(2)(f) or 9(2)(f) (as the case may be) has not been paid in full, the creditor will (if any applicable requirements are met) have the right to recover from the hirer so much of that amount as remains unpaid; Though it states "if any applicable ...." as opposed to "if all applicable......" in Section 8 or 9. Maybe the Site could explain what the difference between the two terms mean if there is a difference. Also on your claim form they keeper referring to you as the driver or the keeper.  You are the Hirer and only the Hirer is responsible for the charge EVEN IF THEY WEREN'T THE DRIVER. So they cannot pursue the driver and nowhere in the Hirer section of the Act is the hirer ever named as the keeper so NPC are pursuing the wrong person.

    • 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.

I was recently asked by a cagger who to contact at Sherforce (Shergroup) with a complaint...I suggesested they contacted Chris Badger as he is given to be their Complaints Officer..

 

Imagine my surprise when the cagger reported back he was no longer working at Sherforce!!!!!

 

A little digging brings forward he is thought to now be working at the Sheriffs Office, I will only offer MHO that would be a move for the best for him and I wish him every success but, that is not what concerns me and prompts me to write this post.

 

Sherforce list three HCEO's appointed by the Lord Chancellor to carry out command to serve High Court Writs, they are of course permitted to 'sub contract' the work but as each of those HCEO's are commanded as an individual to carry out their appointment then surely they must be seen to be at the least active, with their finger on the button so to speak?

 

Claire Sandbrook no longer resides in the UK and cannot therefore uphold the duties of her 'appointment'

 

David Asker is by all accounts,when reading Sherforces' own website, not active as a HCEO and his 'position' within the company lies in I.T. therefore he does not uphold the duties of his 'appointment'

 

Christopher Badger, if the rumour to him having taken his 'appointment' elsewhere is confirmed, must therefore have notified the Lord Chancellor's Ofiice to no longer being a recognised HCEO for Sherforce

 

Is it time for the Lord Chancellors Office to take a closer look at their appointment register and remove those who are no longer active and merely a name on that register.???

I bet that is no comfort for the likes of James Goacher who had his Bridlington fish & chip shop ransacked by her firm in a case of mistaken identity, and two years on, she has not even sent a bunch of flowers with a 'sorry' note, let alone repaid him his loss of earnings and replacement fish & chip shop.

I doubt it will be of comfort to anyone who has been impacted by Sherforce's incompetence, myself included but, the post permits the asking of the questions raised on the evidence available, to be directed to the right quarter.

Noticed that Shergroup's accounts are overdue at Companies House, their trade sector is shown as Solicitors so you would have thought they would have respect for the Companies Act.

 

Now let me see, they did something similar last year.....

Moneymonkey.....I have just checked on the Companies House website and you are in indeed correct. The accounts for SHERGROUP Ltd were due to be filed by the end of February 2013. Last year was dreadful as quite a few of the companies in the group were actually STRUCK OFF the register at Companies House for failing to file accounts on time. A notice was given in the accounts that a new firm of accountants had been employed by Shergroup.

 

Interesting times.......

Is Shergroup CEO still pursuing the American Dream, of emulating Dog The Bounty Hunter, and importing his methods to UK enforcement?
