    • That is a big improvement Dave and I do agree that it s best to leave it till the last moment to prevent VCS from countering your WS. [usually using doubtful logic that can't be easily argued against in a Court atmosphere] However my first post [no. 32] about the contract is the one that really exposes Jake's flummery and calls into  question jost how close he comes to committing perjury. And that is what hopefully VCS will not want questioned by a Judge. 
    • just to be clear here..... the DVLA do not send letters if a drivers licence address differs from any car's V5C that shows the same driver as it's registered keeper.
    • sorry she is a private individual, the cars are parking on her land. she can clamp the cars. only firms were outlawed from doing it bazza. thats what the victims of people dumping cars on their drives near airports did and they didn't not get prosecuted.    
    • The DVLA keeps two records of you. One as a driver and one for your car. If they differ you might find out in around a month when they will send you a reminder as well as to your other half for their car. If you receive nothing then you can be fairly sure that you were tailgating though wouldn't explain why they didn't pick up your car on one of drive past their cameras. However even if you do get a PCN later then your situation will not change. The current PCN does not comply with the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012 Schedule 4 which is the main law that covers private parking. It doesn't comply for two reasons. 1. Section 9 [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 states 47 minutes which are the arrival and departure times not the time you were actually parked. if you subtract the time you took to drive from the entrance. look for a parking place  park in it perhaps having to manoeuvre a couple of times to fit within the lines and unload the children reloading the children getting seat belts on  driving to the exit stopping for cars pedestrians on the way you may well find that the actual time you were parked was quite likely to be around ten minutes over the required time.  Motorists are allowed a MINIMUM of ten minutes Grace period [something that the rogues in the parking industry conveniently forget-the word minimum] . So it could be that you did not overstay. 2] Sectio9 [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; Your PCN does not include the words in brackets and in 2a the Act included the word "must". Another fail. What those failures mean is that MET cannot transfer the liability to pay the charge from the driver to the keeper. Only the driver is now liable which is why we recommend our members not to appeal. It is so easy to reveal who was driving by saying "when I parked the car" than "when the driver parked the car".  As long as they don't know who was driving they have little chance of winning in court. This is partly because Courts do not accept that the driver and the keeper are the same person. And because anyone with a valid motor insurance policy is able to drive your cars. It is a shame that you are too far away to get photos of the car park signage. It is often poor and quite often the parking rogues lose in Court on their poor signage alone. I hope hat you can now relax and not panic about the PCN. You will receive many letters from Met, their unregulated debt collectors and sixth rate solicitors threatening you with ever higher amounts of money. The poor dears have never read the Act which states quite clearly that the maximum sum that can be charged is the amount on the signs. The Act has only been in force for 12 years so it may take a  few more years for the penny to drop.  You can safely ignore everything they send you unless or until they send you a Letter of Claim. Just come back to us if they do send one of those love letters to you and we will advise on a snotty letter to send them. In the meantime go on and enjoy your life. Continue reading other threads and if you do get any worrying letters let us know.

    • 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,

Please can you help me,ive been going round & round in circles on the web :(

 

On 6th May 2012 i sold my car to a man who i only knew as Gary. After giving him all the paperwork etc i walked & totally forgot about my logbook so i phoned him & he said he would call back through with it but he didnt. Ive phoned him about five times now and he has different excuses,the latest from his girlfriend saying his in prison!

I phoned the Police and they just told me to contact DVLA. Ive been on the DVLA website and i can write to them but they need the new owners name and address,which ive asked his girlfriend for and she won't give me it saying i need to speak to Gary (who's in jail)

So im totally at a loss what to do? He's basically through my stupidity stolen my logbook and i think im probably going to get in serious trouble. But theres no forms i can fill in that has this problem. I dont even think he has the car anymore. Please tell me if theres anything i can do.

He may have paid but he (or his accomplices) are not playing it straight. Time for you to do the same.

 

Remember the original Thomas Crown Affair film?

Faye Dunaway gave Steve McQueen (or the other way around) a desk sign saying "Think dirty"

 

Protect yourself using their levels of openness! Tell them it is stolen - which it is, as they have not fully completed their side of the bargain.

 

And protect your Dad from all this - you only ever have one Dad and he is special.

Thanks Tony..Ive always been an honest person,maybe thats where im going wrong.

I bought a car about 6yrs ago from a used car dealer and AGAIN in all the small talk and document swapping,i got half way home in the new car and the dealer foned me to say i hadn't paid for it! So i apologized and went back and paid lol,it was because we were talking.

Anyway his girlfriend or someone has just text me to say its at a car dealers in Heckmondwike,West Yorkshire,so il phone them in the morning and see what happens. If your right and law is that he hasnt kept up his side of the sale then il report it stolen i guess? I just dont want to get in trouble. Is that the law then Tony? If it is then il do it. Just that im about to start a new job and there will be a CRB check and conspiracy to 'do whatever it is' wont look good.. But yeh i only have one dad and this would put him back in hospital he's so ill and worries.

A CRB check is to find out about an existing Criminal Record (possibly taking in pending serious matters too).

Assuming there are no skeletons in your cupboard, for you to acquire a Criminal Record there must first be a prosecution - then a conviction.

You are on good ground if you kept to your side and the other side failed to do the same.

 

Until then don't worry - but get busy to get this resolved. By any means!

 

And come back here with problems and news. There are many here with far deeper knowledge than me and we are all here to help!

As I was the only person posting other than the OP, I can only assume this is directed at me. Please explain where I have suggest such a thing as lying to the Police.

 

 

Also, as "Site Team" can you also explain the absence of posts prior to number 3 above. You will note the OP thanks me for something that is not there. Odd?

From memory it would have been a suggestion to Thomas Crown Affair's 'think dirty' attitude when dealing with the Buyer who failed to keep his end of the deal concerning the paperwork. He does not deserve an apologetic 'softly softly' approach.

To think otherwise is condoning those failing to stick to what is agreed and caused the OP's predicament.

 

EDIT

While writing the above the absence of post(s) has been confirmed. My question above remains as does a confirmation it is Site's wishes that those failing to stick to what they agreed should be treated with a political correctness sooner than being correctly (in my view) reported for the inconvenience and potential liabilities he has created.

The opening post confirms 'logbook has been stolen', and as it is no longer in the possession of the registered keeper, the detail could now be anybody's as could the vehicle use/misuse.

 

The police would of course be able to give advice once they are in possession of everything occurring to date, but for now there is a vehicle out there, doing deeds that the original owner may be in some way culpable.

A number of posts have been removed including your own, because they either contain advice to act illegally, or quote this advice. Such advice could be damaging for the OP and potentially for the site too. For clarification, there is no implication that this advice was yours.

Hi everyone,sorry about the delay in responding.

I had another 'dodgy' phone conversation with the buyers girlfriend and she told me that the car was now at a garage in Huddersfield,i phoned them but no answer so decided to phone DVLA.

They told me to put it all in writing to them,so i did and sent it off recorded delivery. So im just awaiting my punishment i suppose. They did tell me when i phoned that the car was still in my name :/

For further ref for others in this position and for the people on the thread who have commented i will come back and let you know what happens to me.

Thank you all :)

Hi everyone,

I just wanted to update you on the outcome for future ref. I wrote to DVLA and in the letter i told them that the buyer wouldnt give me the log book back and that i didnt have his contact details and that i had tried the police,basically giving them as much info as possible which wasnt a lot to be honest. Anyway they finally sent me a acknowledgement slip saying that it confirmed that i was no longer the registered keeper of the vehicle registration number ##### and that i have to keep it safe,which i will!

I hope this will be the end of it but you never know :)

Thanks for your help :)
