    • 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.

Hello,

I'm looking for some help regarding a notice of enforcement I've received this morning for my ex partner.

It is for a court summons for tv licensing which I received to my address after we split up, when I received it I phoned the court to inform them he wasn't at this address but stupidly didn't say he was my ex as I don't have a clue where he is and thought at the time it was better to just say I was a new tenant (I know,very stupid) they told me to return the summons and I thought that was the end of it but this morning I've received an enforcement notice from Marstons.

I phoned them up and stuck to the same story that it must have been a previous tenant as I thought I can't change it now in case they find out I've lied...they told me I have to send in evidence that I'm not the person named and they will do some checks to confirm that the evidence I provide is legit.

 

My fear is what will happen when I send it off? What checks can they do? I'm going to send my tax credit award notice which has my own and my new partners names on but will they check anything with HMRC? Please help I don't know what to do and I'm frightened if getting into trouble

 

Thanks in advance for any advice

Just send them a photocopy of the new tenancy, with a note that the person they are seeking Mr X moved out of the property on x date.

 

That should be the end of it.

 

Think you are worrying too much. You have done nothing wrong so far.

 

They will continue there search elsewhere, once you have sent the informatiom.

We could do with some help from you.

Thank you for replying...my only problem is that I myself have lived here for 10 years and I can't find my tenancy agreement hence me sending my tax credit notice...would they check with the council? I'm so scared because I've lied and said I've no clue who this person is.

Thanks again

Don't worry. Just get something showing who is living at the property and send it to them.

 

All Marstons want is something which confirms who is living at the address.

 

Or you & current partner both get statutory declarations done, which I think you can do at the local Magistrates free of charge confirming that you are resident at the address and all possesions at the address are owned by you.

We could do with some help from you.

Thank you so much I'm starting to feel a bit calmer now :-) I think I will just go with sending the tax credit award as I'm not very savvy with anything legal unfortunately and I wouldn't know where to start!

One more question if you don't mind...do you think that would be the end of it if I sent off the tax credit letter or could they check up on me and find out I've had my tax credit to this address for some time? Bearing in mind they think I'm a new tenant? Sorry to be a pain I just can't help worrying probably because i know I've not been entirely truthful

 

Are Marstons different from the average debt collection agency in that they have more powers etc?

 

Thanks so much

Marstons can only check official records which are freely available, such as electoral register. They can't search for tax records. They might contact the local council re who is paying council tax at the address.

 

Marstons have a contract with the Magistrates courts to collect unpaid fines.

 

I am not sure your tax credit letter will work, as it just confirms you are resident. Marstons will no doubt find out you have lived there for some time.

 

Do you not have any paperwork for you and your new partner showing that you are resident at the address ? It is not complicated. If you both went down to the Magistrates with documents confirming indentity and address, you could explain the situation of having this fine chased at your address for an ex partner and could you get a statutory declaration done for Marstons that you are resident.

 

What about your landlord. Surely they know who is resident at the property and can provide a tenancy document confirming you are resident.

 

You need to resolve ' who is living at the address' because Marstons will come back threatening to force entry, which they can't do without further authority from the court.

We could do with some help from you.

I can understand your reason for worrying.

 

If you were to send a tax credit letter with just YOUR name upon it the enforcement company would most likely think that the debtor was still living with you. In this case however the tax credit letter that you are sending has your name and that of your NEW partner. That should be evidence enough that your ex partner does not live at the property any longer.

 

Make sure that you sent a COPY and not the original. You might want to include a note in your letter of the approx date when your ex partner moved out.

 

If you get any problems please do post back.
