    • 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.

So wierd - can anyone help.

Police have been told by someone I was in a hit and run (I have not been in any accident, I don't even have any speeding points).

They simply don't believe me and say their is inconsistency's on my part (I'm not part of MI5 just a normal working mum who does not document every hour of every day).

I'm fully insured so if I ever was in an accident it's not a big deal to me.

Can anyone help- they have basically harassed me for 9 months and said yesterday they are going to summons me for - driving awat from an accident and attempting to pervert the course of justice AND not assisting a PC. All becasue I complained about the PC's attitude when speaking to.

I honestly have not been in any accident. I think it is either a huge error or someone who dislikes me falsely reporting me.

I would suggest you get a report on your vehicles

Condition from a vehicle engineer. Should prob cost ~£50. That would prove there had been no accident damage to the vehicle or any accident repairs done. E.g. Fresh paint. Panels. Glass. Etc.

If he has no evidence to support his accusation, then he wont get far in court. It sounds like he's made a mistake, wont admit it and is trying to push it as far as he can.

Any advice i give is my own and is based solely on personal experience. If in any doubt about a situation , please contact a certified legal representative or debt counsellor..

It's so weird. He say's its an allegation made against me - but will not tell me who or originally what the offense was. At first I got a letter saying - you have been showing disrespect to other road users! Then when I say I have not it has now become (9 months later) a road collision with a moving vehicle that I fled.

I've tried to complain to the police but they will not accept a complaint whist an investigation is ongoing. The only truth I know is I have not been in any car accident.

Like I said, and its just my opinion. It looks like hes messed up and is trying to cover his tracks.

 

Perhaps get in touch with his sergeant or chief superintendent and force them to give you the full story.

You should inform your local MP of what is happening and see if they would be willing to write to the Police to ask them to account for their actions.

We could do with some help from you.

Have you checked your car for any damage, even slight?

Once a friend of mine left his car parked in london and another car hit his front metal bumper (it's a 4x4).

My friend never realised but was then contacted by police two months later with allegations that he had rear ended this car and left the scene.

They didn't prosecute eventually because of lack of evidence.

The same thing could have happened to you: someone hits your car, the go away, then they realise their car is badly damaged and make false allegations.

It is unlikely it will go to court without evidence.

My car is perfect and this is why I'm so confused. I think it must be a fake report or an error in some way. The things that concern me are the initial letter asking for driver details (which is now over 10 months old) never refered to a RTA or collision of any sort.. It is only on my most recent visit to the station to try and resolve this an actual car accident was mentioned.

I find that odd.

The police don't want to tell me anymore. I feel like they think I have done it and they are just questioning and questioning me about my whereabouts to try and trip me up. As if me not having an aliby makes me guilty. Totally bizarre. I said I don't think I need to prove my innocence and guess what - I think me not being all meek and mild might have made them more determined in a malicious way to get me. I have to stress I have not been in an accident because their behaviour makes you seem guilty. I'm 37 with 10 years no claims a car accident wouldn't be an issue to be - but being harrassed for one I have not been in is very stressful.

I do actually. That's a another good point.

I've just read that if the police prosecute you maliciously and they subsequently fail in the prosecution (ie no basis) you have the right to sue them.

I don't want this stress but I'm thinking I might get a solicitor to write to them regarding this and just state my position. I don't want to antagonise them but I feel like this thing is hanging over me either way.

The police cant prosecute. Only the CPS can, and only if its in the public interest. A random policeman cant take you to criminal court. They simply dont have the authority to do so.

I also would not tell your insurance either as regards legal cover as they will simply ramp up your insurance for the next five years whether you have an at fault accident or not in your case. A friendly local solicitor may take this on on a pro bono basis.

Yes ok. Thanks. don't mind paying a bit for a solicitor but I can't pay thousands.

Since when in this country did we become guilty till proved innocence. I thought it was the other way round!

I've submitted a data access request to find out who falsely reported me but they refused it on the grounds that they are investigating a matter. Kafka esq or what.

And if they say "Will you accept a caution", say no, you have nothing to be cautioned for. A caution is almost as bad as a conviction with fingerprints and dna samples being taken and stored.

i would suggest either the informant got the reg wrong or your plate has been cloned. The former is most likely. Your police constabulary will have a specialist team dealing with motoring issues so ask to speak to them. if the shirty pc is one of the "black rats" then you need to raise a complaint with the chief constable's office. If it is an ordinary pc then going to the specialist team should be all that is necessary

It sounds like Fraud to me.

 

But why or how? I've gone round my street and there are 2 other cars my make and colour. I did wonder if it was a mix up - someone maybe had an accident didn't take a reg then came back to street and looked for that type car.

Or just a neighbour hates me? Who knows. How can I knew if I don't know who reported and what it any damage is being suggested to have been done.

I'll raise this again as I have suggested this as I have around this time put a private plate on I was given as a gift. Police simply dismissed it. But I'll raise again. I'm not sure how I could prove that - I would have expected some other things to rise like parking tickets if it was real plate fraud but maybe not.

I made this mistake with something unrelated that I was being accused of, but hadn't done. I was told "If you don't accept the caution you will go to prison". I never had been in trouble before, and accepted it just to make the mess go away. Completely the worst mistake I have ever made.
