    • 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.

    • 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.

Thanks for that

 

I was thinking along the SAR route as it is an account that was settled at the time. As i have become more aware of their practices i believe there are alot of charges that should not have been added and i want them back.

 

I will try the letter first, failing that will send a SAR.

 

Thanks

Hi Tom

 

I dont have the relevant account number anymore, i had a receipt for payment but have no idea where i have placed it.

 

I emailed the council to see if they still have the reference number for the account. Yes it is just the one!

 

I was thinking SAR and wording it for all accounts you have dealt with and using the vehicle registration, due to me not having the specific account number.

 

They would still have a record on system wouldnt they with it been 2010?

 

Thanks

Hi

 

They sent me the details without the need for a SAR which was good.

 

On the statement it details 2 attendance fee's which total £196.

 

The bailiff came to collect and i paid up at the time as i had the money and didnt want to gain any further fees. This was his first time at my property and he had not attended prior to place any levy.

 

Knowing what i do now i understand they have no right to charge these attendance fee's unless they had previously attended to levy and were returning to remove goods. I was not aware of that at the time.

 

I have written to them giving them the chance to refund the attendance fees due to them not been due under the regulations otherwise next will be a court claim and they can argue they correctly added the fee's to the courts.

 

Is this the best way to go about it? As am not letting up in the slightest with them just as they do not us when shoe is on the other foot.

 

Thanks

Also where does it state these

 

Thanks

Hello there.

 

They can charge for sending a letter: £11.20 (+ VAT if they are VAT registered)

 

The vist fees are: If the parking charges plus court costs are no more than £100 in total: £28.

If the parking charges plus court costs are more than £100 in total: 28% of the first £200 and 5.5% for any amount over £200.

 

They can charge for up to three visits (VAT can also be added to these charges).

Ty :-D

 

Just one more thing, if their first visit fee takes it over £100 can they then charge the 28% or does it relate to the initial charges only

I am sorry but your question has reminded me that I was going to start a new sticky with copies of the fee scale.

 

The 28% applies to the amount of the PCN at warrant stage. I will post more details late today.

Thanks Tomtubby

 

So to be clear if the PCN is below £100 they can only charge £28 even if their additional charges take it over

Hi

 

Am i right in working out if there is an outstanding parking ticket for £82 + Bailiff Letter of £11.20 totalling £93.20, then if a bailif makes a levy as the debt is below £100 the fee should be £28?

 

If so just trying to work out how the Equita bailiff that attended is claiming £288.84 in bailiff fee's?

 

Thanks for any help

Hi

 

Received an order for recovery today for a ticket back in 2012.

 

I have already been issued one of these for this PCN which was sent to bailiffs. As i refused to deal with bailiffs and only them the warrant ran its course and account returned to the council.

 

Now they have issued a further order recovery on a ticket that is 2 years old.

 

Is this standard practice? Can they just keep issuing these and sending it to a bailiff company?

 

Thanks in advance

In addition i was under impression that a LA had to request the re-issue of a warrant within the 12 month period not let it expire then apply for another?

Was not the same vehicle, they were looking for my old one and my current one is garaged.

 

That aside as I said above once a warrant has expired its expired 12 months, why did they not follow procedure and have it renewed instead they have let it expire and trying to get a new one issued.

 

Am sure they cannot get a new warrant issued for the same person and address am just looking for clarification on the law about this.

They can in theory take a PCN through the process all over again, but my understanding is that they need to start again with a Notice to Owner, then Charge Certificate, then Order for Recovery and ultimately a warrant.

 

Have you tried speaking to the council and asking why you've received it?
