    • 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.

Hi, I'm new to this so please accept my apologies if I'm in the wrong forum.

 

A debt with O2 has been passed to Moorcroft.

 

 

Moorcroft are now telling me that they have applied to the court for a judgment date because I did not reply to their letter that informed me that this would happen

(I don't recall specifically getting that letter).

 

They tell me that they can apply for a judgment by default and that once it's applied for the court do not have to contact me

and I have no alternative but to pay the whole amount (approx £340) if I wish to avoid getting a CCJ.

 

They have said that the court will give me a grace period of 30 days from judgment in which to pay the debt,

during which time the judgment will be lifted and not show on my record.

 

My question is this: Is there nothing I can now do with the court (I don't know which court it is) in order to put in an offer of payment without the judgment being put on?

 

Many thanks

Hi welcome to CAG,

 

This sounds odd to me for there to be a judgement by default or otherwise you would have received a ''Claim Pack'' from the court service for you to complete, giving you the chance to defend the claim or admit it and make an offer to pay the debt.

 

Has this been sent to in writting or is this from a phone call? If you have a letter stating this please will post up a copy here after removing personal data and identifiers.

 

Is there a claim number mentioned?

Any Letters I Draft are N0T approved by CAG and no personal liability is accepted.

This sounds like one of Moorcroft more flamboyant nonsense calls so ignore until you get something in writting.

They are talking rubbish, have you actually received a court claim form? I doubt very much, what they are doing is over inflating their position by making threats of doom and gloom which are way outside of their abilities. without such a claim form, they will be doing nothing

 

Although Mobile contracts fall outside of the CCA, you should still send them a "prove it" letter to make them demonstrate that they actually have a right to make any kind of demands for payment

Claim packs are sent out by the court where the application is submitted....I'll go with Brig on this #4.

 

The process is....creditor makes claim on N1 form,on which they must fully particularise their claim or if done through MCO they can send full particulars within 14 days.....debtor receives claim pack and acknowledges same, with either admission to the claim or admission to part of the claim alternatively they deny the claim and/or they counterclaim...they submit their defence and return to the Court. next is the Court send out an allocation questionnaire and then you get a date to attend the hearing.

 

If you have had none of the above then Moorcroft are telling porkies..

It is very rare indeed for Moorcarp to do court, they do a nice line in spoof court papers though, and threatOgrams, with loads of might, could and maybes in them; so like WD I would agree with the Brigadier.

We could do with some help from you.

If they submit a court claim, the courts will send you a court claim to the address Moorcroft gave them, which I presume is where Moorcroft have written to you. They will only get a default judgement, if you did not respond to the claim within the allowed time.

 

Agreed. Send the prove it letter.

 

See what dispute you can enter into with 02, as that should prevent any such action being taken by them.

Is the fact that they've given me a warrant number for the court reference proof that they may be serious? I really don't recall receiving any correspondence from the court.

 

You could phone the Northampton Court bulk issuing centre on 01604 619400 to find out if Moorcroft did issue a court claim against you.

 

If someone at Moorcroft has made this up, them make a complaint, as they have broken the law. Adminstation of Justice Act 1970 Section 40.

Sound like they are saying that they issued a court claim against you using the Northampton Bulk Centre. Phone the number given earlier tomorrow to find out the details of this court claim and where it was sent. Perhaps it was sent to the wrong address. Anyway, if you definitely did not receive it, you can fill in the relevant form to ask for it to be set aside.

I'll move this to the Debt Collection Industry Forum where others may know more about how Moorcroft operate, if it turns out they have issued a claim then it can be moved again if required.

Does it cost to have a set aside?

 

Yes there is a fee of £75, but I think it is free if you are claiming benefits.

 

You should phone the court tomorrow as advised and report back on CAG. If Moorcroft are making this up, then they are open to many complaints and I think their letter may be seen as unlawful.

OP should be complaining to OFT about this, the insinuation in the letter that they have some kind of direct line to the courts (a la Batphone), is ludicrous and obviously designed to instil fear and panic, no admin errors here, this is harassment and should be reported
