    • just to be clear here..... the DVLA do not send letters if a drivers licence address differs from any car's V5C that shows the same driver as it's registered keeper.
    • sorry she is a private individual, the cars are parking on her land. she can clamp the cars. only firms were outlawed from doing it bazza. thats what the victims of people dumping cars on their drives near airports did and they didn't not get prosecuted.    
    • The DVLA keeps two records of you. One as a driver and one for your car. If they differ you might find out in around a month when they will send you a reminder as well as to your other half for their car. If you receive nothing then you can be fairly sure that you were tailgating though wouldn't explain why they didn't pick up your car on one of drive past their cameras. However even if you do get a PCN later then your situation will not change. The current PCN does not comply with the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012 Schedule 4 which is the main law that covers private parking. It doesn't comply for two reasons. 1. Section 9 [2][a] states  (2)The notice must— (a)specify the vehicle, the relevant land on which it was parked and the period of parking to which the notice relates; The PCN states 47 minutes which are the arrival and departure times not the time you were actually parked. if you subtract the time you took to drive from the entrance. look for a parking place  park in it perhaps having to manoeuvre a couple of times to fit within the lines and unload the children reloading the children getting seat belts on  driving to the exit stopping for cars pedestrians on the way you may well find that the actual time you were parked was quite likely to be around ten minutes over the required time.  Motorists are allowed a MINIMUM of ten minutes Grace period [something that the rogues in the parking industry conveniently forget-the word minimum] . So it could be that you did not overstay. 2] Sectio9 [2][f]  (ii)the creditor does not know both the name of the driver and a current address for service for the driver, the creditor will (if all the applicable conditions under this Schedule are met) have the right to recover from the keeper so much of that amount as remains unpaid; Your PCN does not include the words in brackets and in 2a the Act included the word "must". Another fail. What those failures mean is that MET cannot transfer the liability to pay the charge from the driver to the keeper. Only the driver is now liable which is why we recommend our members not to appeal. It is so easy to reveal who was driving by saying "when I parked the car" than "when the driver parked the car".  As long as they don't know who was driving they have little chance of winning in court. This is partly because Courts do not accept that the driver and the keeper are the same person. And because anyone with a valid motor insurance policy is able to drive your cars. It is a shame that you are too far away to get photos of the car park signage. It is often poor and quite often the parking rogues lose in Court on their poor signage alone. I hope hat you can now relax and not panic about the PCN. You will receive many letters from Met, their unregulated debt collectors and sixth rate solicitors threatening you with ever higher amounts of money. The poor dears have never read the Act which states quite clearly that the maximum sum that can be charged is the amount on the signs. The Act has only been in force for 12 years so it may take a  few more years for the penny to drop.  You can safely ignore everything they send you unless or until they send you a Letter of Claim. Just come back to us if they do send one of those love letters to you and we will advise on a snotty letter to send them. In the meantime go on and enjoy your life. Continue reading other threads and if you do get any worrying letters let us know. 
    • Hopefully the ANPR cameras didn't pick up the two vehicles, but I don't think you're out of the woods just yet. MET's "work" consists of sending out hundreds of these invoices every week so yours might be a few days behind your partner's. There is also the matter of Royal Mail.  I once sold two second-hand books to someone on eBay.  Weirdly the cost of sending them separately was less than the cost of sending them in one parcel.  So to save a few bob I sent them seperately.  One turned up the next day.  One arrived after four days.  They were  sent from the same post office at the same time! But let's hope I'm being too pessimistic. Please update us of any developments.

    • 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.

Hiya,

 

I already have a thread on here regarding Restons and Arrow Global and a debt from Citi financial,

but want some advice which I can give to my ex hubby.

 

The account in question was joint and we both got a court claim sent.

 

I defended mine online on MCOL but when my ex tried to do his

he for some reason could not get on so he sent his through the post recorded delivery.

 

It was signed for the next day by the courts.

 

I sent my defence online but my ex forgot to post his off before the deadline

so he sent an email to the courts with his defence attached and then the next day sent it in the post.

 

I have had three letters from the court, but my ex never got any

which made me think there might be a problem.

 

Today he got a letter with a judgement against him, and by the looks of it,

it looks like they have never heard anything from my ex

and they went ahead with the judgement anyway.

 

Is there anything he can do other than pay £150 to have it set aside

and another court hearing.

 

Can he complain ???

Any help would be great thanks.

Did he check the RM website to confirm if the defence was received and signed for ?

That would be much appreciated citizenB......... I have read the court letter and it say he is ordered to pay £104 per month to Restons/Arrow, they must be well pleased gggrrrrrrr,

Righto, well I spoke to one of the senior moderators ... .

 

It is assumed that the relationship with your ex is civil and therefore you are concerned for him. If he acknowledged service and can prove a defence was submitted, then there could be a slim chance of getting a set aside.. depending on how he presents his application.

 

 

As for the fee, he can either talk nicely to CCBC and plead innocent/ignorance, but it is almost certain they will want the application fee of £155.00 unless he is exempt.

 

He could always make an application to vary the instalment to a more affordable amount - he would have to produce an income and expenditure form.

If he acknowledged, but didn't submit a defense, he should be able to get it set aside as the default judgement is deemed irregular.

 

Unfortunately that's not correct. An acknowledgment of service merely extends the time for filing a defence, if one still isn't submitted in time then the Claimant is entitled to seek a default judgment which, barring other deficiencies, will he regular.

Irregular Default Judgments

 

The law distinguishes between two types of default judgments: “regular” and “irregular” judgments. A default judgment will be irregular if it has been entered when:

 

The defendant has filed an acknowledgement of service or a defence;

The time for filing the acknowledgement or defence has not yet expired;

The defendant has made an application to strike out the claim or for summary judgment;

The defendant paid off the whole claim, including any costs and interest, before judgment was entered;

The defendant has filed an admission to the debt and asked for time to pay.

 

A default judgment entered in any of these circumstances is not valid in law and the court must set it aside.

 

I bolded the relevant entry, hence why I think the judgement will be irregular as he acknowledged and chose to defend all, the key word there is OR.

 

I might be wrong, but maybe somene more knowledgeable than me like Andyorch can confirm?

An extract from CPR Part 12:

 

(2) Judgment in default of defence may be obtained only –

(a) where an acknowledgement of service has been filed but a defence has not been filed;

(b) in a counterclaim made under rule 20.4, where a defence has not been filed,

and, in either case, the relevant time limit for doing so has expired.

 

This also corresponds with common sense of course because were it otherwise a Defendant could just file an acknowledgment of service, never bother with a defence and then have the judgment set aside as of right; which would be absurd.

You're forgetting that there remains the option to have a regular judgment set aside, it's simply a matter of discretion rather than a right so if the Defendant had a good reason for missing the deadline then, assuming they have a defence with merit, the judgment may still be set aside.

 

The extract I produced shows that once the time for filing a defence has expired the Claimant is entitled to seek a default judgment and therefore any such judgment can not be irregular.

I think you should ignore the poster giving different advice on this one, as I have a feeling he's working on a different agenda than me....I have a vague feeling he might be a debt collector or similar wanting to stir up trouble.

 

Andyorch or someone much more experienced in these matters than me could help you better though.

divadeb - as advised you need to make an application to the court. The very fact that ex didn't send the defence with at the very least a free proof of posting has kind of hobbled him a bit.

 

The only other advice is to apply to the court to vary the amount he has been asked to pay each month - as this is a joint debt - is there any chance you can afford to contribute ?

 

Really not sure what other advice we can give.

Date of issue was 9th July 2014. He sent acknowledgment to court on 16/07/2014 and it was signed for on the 17/07/2014. He forgot to post his defence as he was working away( he's a lorry driver) so he went on the court website and clicked on the email address and sent it on Sunday 10th August before the midnight deadline. I submitted mine at 8pm on the MCOL website and it was accepted. Thanks for the help.
