    • I have just read the smaller print on their signs. It says that you can pay at the end of your parking session. given that you have ten minutes grace period the 35 seconds could easily have been taken up with walking back to your car, switching on the engine and then driving out. Even in my younger days when I used to regularly exceed speed limits, I doubt I could have done that in 35 seconds even when I  had a TR5.

    • 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. It is denied that the Claimant is entitled to the relief claimed or any relief at all.

    • 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.

yes you need to file by midnight tonight

 

there are numerous thread here in the forum you are in

that detail the holding 'no paperwork' defence.

 

you don't need to sign CCA/CPR,

 

now ideally as you've a few hours you need to nail down this question of it

poss being already statute barred before you start paying them in 2012 from 2006?

 

if this is the case then the SB defence should be used.

Hi

 

I think I am now in a pickle as I don't really follow all that I need to do.

 

As per dx100uk's suggestion,

I sent the CCA and CPR letters.

 

I had a reply from Cabot stating that they had 40 days to comply - that was about 3 weeks back and no reply.

 

As the date for filing a defence suddenly appeared I filed a defence that the claim was statute barred.

 

Restons solicitors have now written to me stating that they are

'advised that Cabot Finance, at the time of the assignment, received confirmation from Welcome Finance

that the last payment made towards the outstanding balance was on 31 January 2012.

The payment was clearly made within 6 years of these proceedings being issued and as such is not statute barred'.

 

The letter continues

'Now that we have provided you with further details to show that the debt is in fact owed

we would be grateful if you could confirm you are willing to withdraw your defence

by completing the enclosed form N9A and returning it to this office by 20 August'.

 

The letter then states that if I do not complete the N9A they will apply to strike out the defence and go for summary judgment

- and seek an order that I pay the costs of the application,

 

Help! What do I do

- I still have no paperwork showing a signed agreement

- and no paperwork showing as the solicitors/Cabot assert

that I made a payment on 31 January 2012.

Cabot DO NOT have 4o days to reply justb12 + Working Days so write AND TELL them, also refute the alleged payment and put the to strict proof of how such a payment was made.

as you've filed the SB defence

no point in pursuing the CCA

 

you need to put them to strict proof on

 

WHO

where

what bank

what method

how much

the alleged payment was etc

 

its interesting to note

they say 'they are advise by their client'

'that the original creditor has issue confirmation payment was made dd/mm/yyyy'

 

we've seen that before i'm sure with pestons - they never provided it and the case still I think remains stayed.

Thanks dx100uk. Do I write to the Solicitors asking for the proof of payment?

 

Also, with the CCA do I still write to Cabot and say that they had 12 + 2 days and not 40 days? If so, what wording for both letters?

Thanks dx100uk. I have written as you suggest.

 

What is the relevance now of the CCA request

- (as I understand it if they don't provide a signed agreement then their claim may be unenforceable)

 

if I have gone down the route of the claim being statute barred.

 

If they don't supply the agreement does that mean that I may still win the case

- or have I accepted that there is an enforceable agreement by claiming statute barred?

 

Bit confused!!

Hi

 

I have written to Restons asking for proof of the alleged payment.

 

I have also now got a copy of my credit report which does NOT show any loan with Welcome nor Cabot.

 

What is the relevance of that to the Court case please?

 

On a related note

 

there are a couple of old loans that have been paid in full to other companies -

but they still show small outstanding balances (one shows £4 due).

 

What do I do to get the records amended?

Hi Fred,

If you believe the CRA entries are wrong, put a notice of dispute on the record (s) then write to the creditor concerned and insist that they are corrected.

 

 

The lack of an entry for the Welcome/Cabot accounts probably indicates that 6 years have passed since the account was defaulted, but may not mean the debt is statute barred.

 

 

As dx has said Cabot must prove that the debt is Not SB, personally I would phone Welcome to find out if they can tell you the date of the last payment/acknowledgment.

Just a quick update. Following the CCA request I have not had any paperwork sent to me and have had a letter from Cabot stating that as they have not as yet complied with the request then the agreemnent is not currently enforceable.

 

Since writing to Restons asking for strict proof of the payment that it is alleged I made to Welcome, I have heard nothing. I wrote to them almost 4 weeks ago.

Now 7 weeks since I wrote to Restons asking for proof of the alleged payment.

 

Heard nothing.

 

Can I not apply to the Court to have the claim struck out or some such?

 

If not, and assuming that Cabot do not come up with the agreement - and Restons don't supply evidence of the payment - does the case just stay in limbo?
