    • Hi everyone, Thanks for the responses. Just a few follow up questions in light of what's been said:   If I dont appeal to PPM, who can I appeal to?   Why should the PCN been attached to the windscreen? Is this written in law?   I assumed the document I had received was the NTK, if this is not the case, what does a NTK look like?   Regarding the compliance with the Protection of Freedoms Act, could the "period" of parking not be argued either way? The legislation doesnt state it must have a start/end time of parking, which I assumed an ANPR camera would pick up if it had one. Is 4 minutes not technically enough to show the vehicle was parked?    Thanks !

    • Will get them done asap My job changes week to week so at the time I didn’t know. 
    • You will probably get a couple more reminders followed by further demands fro unregulated debt collectors with even increasing amounts to pay. They are all designed to scare you into paying.  Don't. It's a scam site and they do not know who was driving and they know the keeper is not liable to pay the PCN. Also the shop was closed so they have no legitimate interest in keeping the car park clear. So to charge £100 is a penalty as there is no legitimate interest which means that the case would be thrown out if it went to Court.  Keep your money in your wallet and be prepared to ignore all their letters and threats. Doubtful they would go to Court since a lot more people would not pay when they heard  MET lost in Court. However they may just send you a Letter of Claim to test your resolve.  If yoy get one of those, come back to us and we will advise a snotty letter to send them.  You probably already have, but take a look through some of our past Met PCNs to see how they are doing.
    • Hello, been a while since I posted on here, really hoping for the same support an advice I received last time :-) Long, long story for us, but basically through bad choices, bad luck and bad advice ended up in an IVA in 2016. The accounts involved all defaulted, to be expected. In 2018, I got contacted by an 'independent advisor' advising me that I shouldn't be in an IVA, that it wasn't the solution for our circumstances and that they would guide us through the process of leaving the IVA and finding a better solution. I feel very stupid for taking this persons advice, and feel they prey on vulnerable people for their own financial gain (it ended with us paying our IVA monthly contribution to them)-long and short of it our IVA failed in 2018. At the same time the IVA failed we also had our shared ownership property voluntarily repossessed (to say this was an incredibly stressful time would be an understatement!) When we moved to our new (rented) property in August 2018, I was aware that creditors would start contacting us from the IVA failure. I got advice from another help website and started sending off SARs and CCAs request letters. I was advised not to bury my head and update our address etc and tackle each company as they came along. Initially there was quite a lot of correspondence, and I still get a daily missed call from PRA group (and the occasional letter from them), but not much else. However, yesterday i had a letter through from Lowell (and one from Capital One) advising that they had bought my debt and would like to speak with me regarding the account. There will be several.of these through our door i suspect, as we did have several accounts with Capital One. Capital One have written to us with regular statements over the last 5 years, and my last communication with them was to advise of of our new address (June 2019), I also note that all of these accounts received a small payment in Jan2019 (i'm assuming the funds from the failed IVA pot). Really sorry for the long long post, but just thought id give (some of) the background for context.... I guess my question at the moment is.....how do I respond to Lowell...do I wait for the inevitable other letters to arrive then deal with them all together or individually...? Do I send them a CCA?  Many thanks

    • 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.

Anyway shopping done Carer back in the car drive out 2 weeks later got a ticket from Excel Parking with pictures of me driving in and out of the car park. I wrote back to them explaining that I have a Mobility Car and a Blue Badge sent a copy of my Blue Badge with it they wrote back and said no I still had to pay but could appeal to Popla's which I did do they then sent me a load of papers through the post and today I have had a email from them telling me my appeal was denied do I have to pay this what can they do if I don't pay it they can't clamp or tow my car away the email said I can still pay the £60 instead of £100 but just before Christmas I do not have this kind of money and cannot believe they do not allow people with Blue Badges to park there why should you have to pay to shop at Iceland baffles me Please help if you can xxxx:smile:

Although disabled bays have no standing in law

 

Morally you are wrong to park there

Your carer is not disabled

 

They can not take your car and do not pay them either

What have Iceland said about the treatment of there customers get on to them

If i have helped in any way hit my star.

any advice given is based on experience and learnt from this site :-)

The invoice you got through the post was for an over stay was it? Or not getting a ticket from a machine?

I never got a ticket from the machine because I had shopped in there before and never see any machines and was parked in a disabled bay with my Blue Badge in the window.

 

So are the machines and excel new to the car park then? You need to go to the store and complain to the manager.

Can you post up your POPLA adjudication pls,without personal details.

just read this thread,puzzled????.

what was the reason for the pcn ?. you say you shopped then left and two weeks later got a pcn, was it an overstay, or none display of ticket ?,

if you did not buy a ticket, how do they know that from what you have told us?.

Excel expect Blue badges holders to pay the same fee as others and as there is no such thing as Disabled Parking on private land and have issued a ticket. IMHO the best course of action is to contact Iceland and to notify them of the course of action being taken by Excel. Please note that no discrimination has taken place so you cannot use that as an excuse.

In the meantime I would continue to ignore now unless they issue court papers which is unlikely. Now that they have rejected your appeal, they will not be very popular with a judge if they take it to court.

am in the process of writing a letter to Iceland about this. I did not realise you had to have a ticket to park as I have shopped there before and was parked in a disabled bay why would they have disabled bays in that car park if you had to pay. xx I am not going to pay this they can take me to court if they like they cant clamp or tow away my car anyway..xx

They have disabled bays because they have too, not because they want too. They can also charge you for parking in them if they so wish. Even some councils now charge when using a blue badge but normally give you extra time. Having a blue badge does not mean you can park in somebodies car park without paying. Plus in the circumstances you describe you would not have been entitled to any benefits of the blue badge scheme.

 

However apart from that the landowners are only entitled to the fee that should have been paid, they could have an argument that they have now had loses caused by this incident, but that would be for a court to decide. As I said in an earlier post we could have helped with an appeal to win at POPLA.

 

You really need the shop to cancel this for you now.

As stated there is no such thing as a disabled bay on private land so carefully phrase your letter to CEO at Iceland stating that you are unhappy about charges in the car park and feel you have been unduly penalised. It may help if you could send a copy of the shopping receipt to the CEO to prove that you did indeed shop at Iceland..

I have just spoken to the Manager of the store and he said the way it works is you put £1 in the machine and get a ticket then when you get to the till they give you your £1 back. what a farce sending me a ticket for £60 and he also said it is done by cameras so they can only see you come in and go out and if you don't purchase a ticket you get fined, he is having the same trouble and has given me the Head Office's phone number to call them tomorrow. But doubts that they will be able to do anything for me, so I will phone tomorrow and see what happens will post the reply I get xx

The reason I got away with it before was your allowed 15 minutes without them charging you this time I was 24 minutes shows you don't it !!!!

 

You have to remember their sole purpose of being there is not for what they promise ie: "car park management" but to get as much money as they can from people like you who are genuine customer but happen to contravene one of their made up conditions.
