    • I have received a PCN from Euro Car Parks for MFG - Esso Cobham - Gravesend. I was completely unaware that there was any such limit for parking and always considered this to be a service station. I stopped there to use the toilet, have a coffee and made a couple of work calls. I have read the previous topics on this location which suggest I can ignore this and ECP will not take legal action. The one possible complication is that the vehicle is leased by my employer so I do not want to involve them with the associated reminders and threatening letters. The PCN was first issued to the leasing company Arval who have notified ECP of the hiring company. I have attached a copy of the PCN Notice to Hirer with details removed as per instructions. What options do I have or should I just pay the PCN promptly at the reduced rate of £60? img20240424_23142631.pdf
    • What you have uploaded is a letter with daft empty threats from third-party paper tigers.  Just ignore it. What we need to see is the original invoice you received last October or November.
    • Thanks for posting the CPR contents. i do wish you hadn't blanked out the dates and times since at times they can be relevant . Can you please repost including times and dates. They say that they sent a copy of  the original  PCN that they sent to the Hirer  along with your hire agreement documents. Did you receive them and if so can you please upload the original PCN without erasing dates and times. If they did include  all the paperwork they said, then that PCN is pretty near compliant except for their error with the discount time. In the Act it isn't actually specified but to offer a discount for 14 days from the OFFENCE is a joke. the offence occurred probably a couple of months prior to you receiving your Notice to Hirer.  Also the words in parentheses n the Act have been missed off. Section 14 [5][c] (c)warn the hirer that if, after the period of 21 days beginning with the day after that on which the notice to hirer is given, the amount of unpaid parking charges referred to in the notice to keeper under paragraph 8(2)(f) or 9(2)(f) (as the case may be) has not been paid in full, the creditor will (if any applicable requirements are met) have the right to recover from the hirer so much of that amount as remains unpaid; Though it states "if any applicable ...." as opposed to "if all applicable......" in Section 8 or 9. Maybe the Site could explain what the difference between the two terms mean if there is a difference. Also on your claim form they keeper referring to you as the driver or the keeper.  You are the Hirer and only the Hirer is responsible for the charge EVEN IF THEY WEREN'T THE DRIVER. So they cannot pursue the driver and nowhere in the Hirer section of the Act is the hirer ever named as the keeper so NPC are pursuing the wrong person.

    • 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 all,

 

I've had the usual experience of being told my payment of £152 is pending and then not receiving anything. Contacted them by email but got no response.

 

Started filling in the MCOL form today (22/12/13), went to the C4P website to get the full postal address...and the website has gone.

I've read a few posts saying they have changed company names.

 

New to all this. Can I bring an action against a company that has ceased trading? Can I bring an action against a new company name and address (even though my contract was with C4P)? Or have I missed the boat completely?

 

Appreciate I should have done my research, but this still feels a lot like theft to me.

 

Any strategy advice would be greatly appreciated.

 

Jonathan

The owner has ran off as he has multiple agencies after them and seems to be trying to hide by changing the companies name amongst other stuff.

The C4P website still seems to be down. Rather than it has vanished, I suspect they are changing it to make t seem like a different company. A case of wait and see.

If you are asked to deal with any matter via private message, PLEASE report it.

Everything I say is opinion only. If you are unsure on any comment made, you should see a qualified solicitor

Thanks! Sorry, should have waited for panic mode to end and common sense to kick in before posting.

You can only bring action on the company you had an issue with or the director. You cant bring it on a different company as they are legally a seperate entity. It's like having a problem with B&Q and sending a claim to wickes.

Unless they come back as that company, or you issue the CCJ on the director, then sadly theres nothing. The police and trading standards are involved and are looking for them, but they are seemingly in hiding.

I am in an identical situation with cash4phones regarding the MCOL. I have also won a judgement against c4p and still have not received the money. I have since found out that this company that was operating legitimately albeit morally questionably is now no longer even operating. The website is down and the address they provided at 15 Gateway Mews, Ring Way, London, N11 2UT is not currently and apparently has never been occupied by c4p. I found this out by ringing an insurance company next door. This makes the £100 warrant option totally null and void as these criminals have now set up a new company and changed their name. There is however a glimmer of light at the end of the tunnel. I have already contacted companies house a few weeks ago and was informed that c4p was striking off (dissolving the company), but if I was able to provide sufficient evidence that I was engaged in legal proceedings then the company would remain live...

 

 

 

The letter I received....

 

"Dear Mr Panteli

 

C4P HOLDINGS LIMITED - 07474171

 

Thank you for your e-mail.

 

I am writing to acknowledge receipt of your objection to the striking off and dissolution of the above company.

 

Please note that the above action has been suspended until 12/03/2014.

 

If you wish to maintain the objection after that date, you would need to apply again in writing enclosing documentary evidence of what action you are taking against the company. This evidence should be received at least 2 weeks before the objection expires.

 

If no evidence is received the striking off action will continue and this may result in the company being dissolved from the register of limited companies.

 

I would be grateful if you could confirm whether you would be agreeable for your identity, as the objector, to be disclosed.

 

Yours sincerely

 

 

Neil Hughes

Case Officer

Dissolution Section

Companies House "

 

 

So come on people, we still have a chance to get these bottom of gutter pitiful excuse for human beings. Lets gets our money back and watch these peoples lives ruined and they loose there friends and family and get convicted by the British law authorities. What else can we do???

Not surprised in the least. Apparently no fewer than 437 companies occupy the same postcode (according to the post office a post code can be a single business address or between 15 and 20 residential addresses).

 

Perhaps someone who has been affected by this company should call the Insolvency Service hotline details below:

 

 

Investigations Hotline number is – 0845 601 3546. This is a 24 hour answer phone facility which allows you to leave your contact details so we can acknowledge your contact and send you the appropriate questionnaire.

 

 

Director Is:

I have a claim against C4P on MCOL. The Judgement against them has been entered but still no sign of my money. If they are changing name, is it even worthwhile getting a warrant issued, as there is a £100 charge for this?

 

I wonder what worth there is in employing an HCEO for £60

 

seen what they can do on the TV programme call the sheriffs.

please don't hit Quote...just type we know what we said earlier..

DCA's view debtors as suckers, marks and mugs

NO DCA has ANY legal powers whatsoever on ANY debt no matter what it's Type

and they

are NOT and can NEVER  be BAILIFFS. even if a debt has been to court..

If everyone stopped blindly paying DCA's Tomorrow, their industry would collapse overnight...

Most of that program is simple enhanced because its on tv. The bailiffs on that shopw are very stuck up and self righteous. Notice how multiple times the charges seem to increase for no reason at all, then the program cuts to somewhere else?

Regarding the suspending the dissolving of the company,

 

I'd love to do all I can to give these [EDIT] their comeuppance.

 

Don't have a legal background though so if I can get advice on how to do this then I will do it.

i've had a similar issue, posted on another thread with my progress so far....

it would appear that they're being looked at by police etc. so hopefully they won't be allowed to close the Ltd company and we can all make a claim against them, trouble i assume is that if they have evidence of the company having no assets to divide among its claimants we could get nothing, maybe the best that could happen is they're prosecuted for fraud, hard to prove and what would we get back as a result?

I suppose we will just have to wait and see.

The financial reports stated that they definitely have

Assets if not profits. Wish I could catch them selling our phones on eBay ....or where ever they are selling our phones.

You could have 100 claims against them. It doesnt mean anything if you cant find the director and the company has no assets because he's taken them and gone into hiding.
