    • Well we can't predict what the judge will believe. PE will say that they responded in the deadline and you will say they don't. Nobody can tell what a random DJ will decide. However if you go for an OOC settlement you should still be able to get some money
    • What do you guys think the chances are for her?   She followed the law, they didnt, then they engage in deception, would the judge take kindly to being lied to by these clowns? If we have a case then we should proceed and not allow these blatant dishonest cheaters to succeed 
    • I have looked at the car park and it is quite clearly marked that it is  pay to park  and advising that there are cameras installed so kind of difficult to dispute that. On the other hand it doesn't appear to state at the entrance what the charge is for breaching their rules. However they do have a load of writing in the two notices under the entrance sign which it would help if you could photograph legible copies of them. Also legible photos of the signs inside the car park as well as legible photos of the payment signs. I say legible because the wording of their signs is very important as to whether they have formed a contract with motorists. For example the entrance sign itself doe not offer a contract because it states the T&Cs are inside the car park. But the the two signs below may change that situation which is why we would like to see them. I have looked at their Notice to Keeper which is pretty close to what it should say apart from one item. Under the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012 Schedule 4 Section 9 [2]a] the PCN should specify the period of parking. It doesn't. It does show the ANPR times but that includes driving from the entrance to the parking spot and then from the parking place to the exit. I know that this is a small car park but the Act is quite clear that the parking period must be specified. That failure means that the keeper is no longer responsible for the charge, only the driver is now liable to pay. Should this ever go to Court , Judges do not accept that the driver and the keeper are the same person so ECP will have their work cut out deciding who was driving. As long as they do not know, it will be difficult for them to win in Court which is one reason why we advise not to appeal since the appeal can lead to them finding out at times that the driver  and the keeper were the same person. You will get loads of threats from ECP and their sixth rate debt collectors and solicitors. They will also keep quoting ever higher amounts owed. Do not worry, the maximum. they can charge is the amount on the sign. Anything over that is unlawful. You can safely ignore the drivel from the Drips but come back to us should you receive a Letter of Claim. That will be the Snotty letter time.

    • 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.

Good afternoon.

 

Received, this morning, a notification of a Repossession Hearing set for 10th April.

 

Brief Details:

 

It is a 'restored' hearing from last year.

 

The previous hearing (March 2013) was 'adjourned' due to the arrears, at the time, being paid off in full.

 

Current Arrears are £1220.

 

Monthly Current Payments £266.

 

No other person named on the mortgage.

 

Any help would be most welcome as to what action I should take, in the event that I don't manage to get the money together prior to the date of the hearing.

 

Cheers

What was the reason for missing payments following the adjournment last year? If you can't clear the arrears before the hearing you will need to complete the N11M defence form and write a statement to go with Q.27 of the form, explaining your reasons and making an offer to clear the arrears.

 

Are you able to make the contractual payment + something towards the arrears going forward?

Thank you very much for your reply.

 

My flow of work (self employed) has been, to say the least, sporadic.

 

I suppose the answer to that has to be 'yes' really.

 

Will take a look at the guide.

 

Cheers.

You could cetainly write to them with your proposal - there is an example of a letter for that in the guide.

Thank you.

 

The notice from the court doesn't provide any details of the arrears etc. Will details follow in due course?

 

Also it seems odd to ask for proposals from me whilst at the same time, it would appear, given the dates of the letters, applying to the court for the hearing to be 'reinstated'?

 

Cheers

Hi, lenders will always ask for proposals from you even when they have issued a claim - they are trying to convince the court that they have been reasonable and tried to come to an arrangement with you right up to the last minute. You should write to them making an offer (template letter in the guide - page 10) at the same time ask for an up to date arrears figure. Make sure you send the letter by recorded delivery and keep a copy as you will need it to add to your defence form.

I have now got everything together, ready to send to the court and the lender tomorrow.

 

I still haven't had a letter/statement quantifying the arrears.

 

I have had a letter from the lender informing me of the time of the hearing though, albeit it stated a time an hour later than that included in the notification from the court.

 

Thank you for your help, Ell-enn.

Whilst I'm here, I obviously need to get a result at court first; but would the arrears charges of £40 a month be deemed to be excessive?

 

Is it something I should look into after the court hearing?

 

Cheers

I've had a very productive week, which makes a pleasant change.

 

I know it would only be an informed opinion; but if I were to reduce the arrears to £650, would the lender be likely to adjourn, or whatever the correct term is, the hearing?

 

I assume that if my initial proposal is accepted, they would still be granted a suspended possession order by the court?

 

Any thoughts would be most welcome.

 

Cheers.

Have you had any reply from the lender to your proposal ? did you send the letter to them and the documents to the court by recorded delivery ?

Unless you clear the arrears in full the lender will get a suspended possession order. However, if you do reduce the arrears before the hearing and take along proof of the payment then it will of course help your case.

 

 

In your statement in the defence papers you sent to court did you quote the Norgan case ?
