    • 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 guys.

 

My friend has himself in a predicament.

 

He is a student and lives away from home, his phone bills go to his mom and dads place and so did the phone which he ordered.

 

happy days.

 

After this another phone was delivered to his mom and dads address , now hes not the most observant of blokes and wasnt told this from his parents. He noticed 5 months into his contract that he had been paying for two phone contracts! dont ask about the kid !doesnt check bank statements or phone bills- he just set up a direct debit to 3 and lets them take it.

 

the phone is in its box still with security seal intact and has never been taken out of box as he didnt know he had it till he found out 5 months in.

 

he has phoned 3 and has had the standard response , nothing we can do still gonna charge you for rest of contract etc etc no refund etc etc.

 

I feel sorry for him (even though hes a scrounging student) !! and am going to try a letter to get this back and the contract as voided. He knows for sure he only signed for 1 contract .

 

what angle would you reccomend.

 

I thought a prelim letter to ask for proof that the second contract was asked and authorised and signed for?and that it was an error on their part?

 

i thought if this is successful i might get cocky and ask for expenses for him in terms of being out of pocket due to a 3 error.

 

Any thoughts welcomed.

 

At least it might make him visit his ma and pa a bit more after this episode !

This is should be quite simple, bit like your mate really lol

Get him to write a letter asking for a copy of both alleged contracts which he would've signed on receipt of the phones as long as he didnt order and sign for 2 of them he should be receiving only one contract!

If indeed the other phone is unopened he should send it back recorded delivery, also he needs to cancel his d/d for the unused phone, if he hasnt activated it i wouldn't have thought they could charge him!

Just to clarify, the phone needs to be sent back by Special Delivery with the relevant compensation cover depending on the value of the phone. Don't send it Recorded Delivery just in case it doesn't make it there safely.

I see thats a good shout barracad.

 

The letter im thinking of sending will be sumin Along lines of

 

I trust you have received the unwanted phone sent out by your company in error it was sent Special delivery on xxxx and you will have recieved it on xxxxx

 

Please provide me with the alledged signed contract for 2 phones that you are saying i must pay for.

 

If however there is no contract for 2 phone contracts signed for by myself i will send a preliminary letter asking for a refund of all fees charged to my account from 3 FOR THE SECOND PHONE SENT OUT TO ME BY ERROR THAT IS UNUSED HAS NEVER BEEN ACTIVATED , if there is not a positive response from 3 after 14 days i will send a letter before action outlining that you have 14 days to refund charges and at the expiry of these 14 days i will lodge a county court claim for all monies owed, interest owed and all costs.

 

I trust this clarifies my stance on this position.

You may as well include the letter with the phone - saves on postage and you know they've received your letter.
