    • How does one obtain the permit? The permit team number is only open between the hours of 9am to 3pm Mon - Fri. It says on the website, To obtain an additional 2 hours, the driver must pay a tariff of £3.00 + booking fees in person at our Security Hut, is that how you get the permit also, from the security hut? What a rigmaroll that would be but maybe just another step to take to try and catch people out?
    • Anotheruser0000 bear in mind that not all Judges are equally versed in the PoFA regulations. Fortunately now most of them are but sometimes a Judge from a higher Court sits in who is well experienced  in Law but not PoFA. and so they sometimes go "offkey" because their knowledge can raise a different set of arguments and solutions. It does seem particularly unfair  when the decision is so  bad . it can also be that in some situations the motorist being a lay person is not sufficiently know ledgeable to be able to counter a Judge's decisions in a way that a barrister could.
    • The argument about the date of receipt is now dead because the PCN  does not comply with the wording  of the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012 Schedule 4.  First reason Section 9 [2] [e]  "state that the creditor does not know both the name of the driver and a current address for service for the driver and invite the keeper—(i)to pay the unpaid parking charges;" Second Reason Section 9 [2][a] "specify the vehicle, the relevant land on which it was parked and the period of parking to which the notice relates;" All your PCN does is mark the time you entered and left the car park. It does not include all the myriad things you do in between-driving into the car park, looking for a parking space-perhaps a disabled space or  parent and Child place@ getting the children or disabled person out of the car then going shopping. Coming back; loading the car with shopping [, getting the children or disabled into the car, taking the trolley back to the store; driving to the exit perhaps stopping to let vehicles/pedestrians cross in front of you etc. so subtracting the driving times from before and after parking can make quite a difference from their time to the actual period parking time. So the upshot is now that only the driver is responsible for paying the PCN and the keeper is not liable at all even if the name of the driver is never known by Nexus so well done for not appealing. You obviously want to keep it that way to make it very difficult for them to win in Court if it ever goes that far. Although your question is now moot since  the same objective has been achieved by the non compliant PCN [ie no keeper liability] just  about the only way to dispute the timing of the PCN would be if one kept the envelope and there was a discernible date stamp on it that did not match the date on the PCN. There is a new Act coming out [and it cannot come quickly enough ] and one of the things required is that parking companies will have to prove the date of sending out their PCNs. We are not the only ones who sometimes doubt the veracity of their dates particularly as the later it is sent [unlawfully] the shorter the period motorists have to benefit [?] from the reduced payment. I haven't seen it on your posts but do you know how long you are permitted to park for free?
    • I was so annoyed and frustrated about the fact this case was lost it's been floating around my head all night. Dave962, are you sure that's what the Judge said? .... It doesn't make sense. Did the judge in fact dismiss the case on the grounds that the defendant did not make an appeal within 28 days? Effectively telling the PPC about the error entering the registration number and providing proof of payment at that time? To me, that's an important point.

    • 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.

Really worried.

 

I sent back deferral forms months ago and heard nothing back and forgot all about it.

 

Yesterday received a letter to say i was 2 months in arrears and to make payment asap.

 

I phoned and they said they had never received the forms.

 

When i filled out the original forms months ago,

 

i had to phone them to request another form as i messed up the original.

 

They had a record of this request and sending this out to me.

 

This surely at least indicates that i wanted to defer.

 

The girl i spoke to said she would send out another form which would take ten days and i should send it back via email. I will also send it by snail mail.

 

She said they would not be contacting credit reference agencies until i was 3 months in arrears so i have one more month.

 

My fear though is that it will not be processed in time and i will be blacklisted.

 

I have always had an excellent credit rating and i hate the idea of them trashing my credit score.

 

What is the best way to proceed? Do i pay them until i get the loan deferred?

 

All in all they seem to be a truly horrible company. Even their terms and conditions read in a very cocky and aggressive way

History of the loan is that i took out three loans between 1997 and 2000. Never paid a penny back cos i have always been under the deferment threshold.

 

Its now at a total of around £7000

 

I did indeed fall for the paper work. I filled it all in when i received it but they claim they never received it.

 

They are sending me another deferment pack to fill in

Iv already said I want to defer so it should be clear i'm earning under the threshold.

 

Delays have occurred due to them not receiving my form or claiming they never received it.

 

I was talking about whether I should pay them while the deferral process is going through so as to preserve my credit score and then look at claiming the money back.

 

What i might do is go through the deferal process but back it up with the CCA request so i have it as a back up and it shows them i might cause them trouble if they try any funny stuff with me

you are falling into their 'we have special powers' act.

 

they do not.

 

you do not pay them anything

to delay anything.

 

they are conning you.

 

if you want to send anything

 

you send a copy of the original SLC deferment form. NOT THEIR ONE.

Take dx advice Jimmy.

 

I would have been like you a few months back, full of fear over all these scary official letters!

 

However after reading lots of around many sites & here I am ready to fight. Bottom line is this:

 

you are entitled to defer as you are under the threshold.

 

No way they could blacken your credit rating or even report you to CRA's.

 

That would be breach of contract by them.

 

I would not be paying them 1 single penny.

 

I know it's stressful but I just hate to see them bully people!

Ok, update.

 

I thought long and hard and decided the only way to deal with them was to go in hard.

 

I did just that and treated them with the contempt they deserve.

 

The result is that my loan is now deferred,

 

there is no direct debit on my account and

 

there shouldn't be any footprint on my credit score.

 

I will check the credit score in the next month or so.

I told them to stop messing about,

 

im not paying a penny and get it sorted

or they would see me in court and

they would be laughed out of court due to my legal right to defer.

 

told them i know what they are doing in trying to convert genuine deferrers into payers

and if they dont sort it i will utilise their complaints procedure and following that the ombudsman.

 

Put it all in writing and got it sorted.

 

Not even a direct debit on my account. been checking daily

I used their form but made it very clear that they had no right to touch my credit score, any bs about promoting responsible lending is a red herring because they are a debt collector and if any of their actions affect my ability to obtain credit they will face a civil action as well as complaints etc.
