    • 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.

Not quite sure what you are asking help for.

 

Were you served papers prior to the LL sending the bailiff round ?

 

I am not quite sure what the situation will be with the bank if they have a charge on the Lease ?

Thanks for your reply citizenB

To be honest i am not sure what is my question i am a bit lost.

The LL sent his Bailiff about 18 months ago and we agreed to pay him £500 monthly on top of current rent witch i paid but he has changed his mind now and instructed his Bailiff to collect £1000 per week or he will close the shop.

I told him I cant pay and give me time so i can sell the business,he agreed initially but after few days he changed the lucks,and did not take my calls and in two days the shop was let to new tenant.with increased rent of £9K.

My question is about the secured lone,and the way bank will demand their money and what is their legal rights.

Is it better to apply for Bankruptcy myself or wait until LL or bank do it.

Thanks

Ask him for a proper breakdown as some of what he can charge is set within the Distress for Rent Rules, you need more than just a figure. Have you also checked to see if the Bailiff is suitably Certificated? Tools of the trade should be exempt from seizure meaning some of what he has seized has to be necessary for you to carry out your trade.

So you were already in a payment arrangement and then the guy changed his mind and wanted more. Did you have the arrangement in writing ?

If you are even considering BR, then I would let either the LL or the bank do it.. that way you wont have to pay the cost of applying for BR.

 

Have a word with National Debtline - they have a Business section now and might be able to offer some good advice :)

What does the Lease Agreement say about forfeiture?

 

How long was the rent overdue?

 

Did you receive a section 146 notice or any other correspondence from your landlord before he changed the locks?

Well if he never formally terminated the lease and didn't serve a s146 notice, then I guess the lease was still valid, in which case you would be entitled to damages for being wrongfully evicted. However the landlord could set-off the unpaid rent so I am not sure this gets you anywhere.

 

If you are moving overseas in three weeks and you have no assets I guess UK bankruptcy is not a disaster. In fact it may be better if you are made bankrupt as I believe it should stop him from trying to claim the debt against assets you acquire in future. A lot of people who move abroad make themselves bankrupt in the UK to stop the debt from hanging over them. However I am not an expert on this perhaps speak to CAB or nationaldebtline.

You don't need a s146 when there is non-payment of rent - merely a demand for payment, non-payment, followed by peaceable re-entry (must be a clause in the lease allowing for such - but most commercial leases include them).

I think people are glossing over things here. It sounds like the LL stole the OP's items. Notice how they said no paperwork, the "bailiffs" just came and took stuff.

Any advice i give is my own and is based solely on personal experience. If in any doubt about a situation , please contact a certified legal representative or debt counsellor..

Depends if the items had become fixtures really. Plus it appears the LL levied distress, for which he does not necessarily need a court order (it's a common law right).

 

The important point here was that the LL may have waived his right to forfeiture (by accepting part payments and levying distress), but since the OP did not seek advice before it all happened, he lost the benefit of that - he could have fought it, but it's over now, he's moving on, and any bankruptcy probably isn't going to affect him unless he comes back to the UK
