    • What do you guys think the chances are for her?   She followed the law, they didnt, then they engage in deception, would the judge take kindly to being lied to by these clowns? If we have a case then we should proceed and not allow these blatant dishonest cheaters to succeed 
    • I have looked at the car park and it is quite clearly marked that it is  pay to park  and advising that there are cameras installed so kind of difficult to dispute that. On the other hand it doesn't appear to state at the entrance what the charge is for breaching their rules. However they do have a load of writing in the two notices under the entrance sign which it would help if you could photograph legible copies of them. Also legible photos of the signs inside the car park as well as legible photos of the payment signs. I say legible because the wording of their signs is very important as to whether they have formed a contract with motorists. For example the entrance sign itself doe not offer a contract because it states the T&Cs are inside the car park. But the the two signs below may change that situation which is why we would like to see them. I have looked at their Notice to Keeper which is pretty close to what it should say apart from one item. Under the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012 Schedule 4 Section 9 [2]a] the PCN should specify the period of parking. It doesn't. It does show the ANPR times but that includes driving from the entrance to the parking spot and then from the parking place to the exit. I know that this is a small car park but the Act is quite clear that the parking period must be specified. That failure means that the keeper is no longer responsible for the charge, only the driver is now liable to pay. Should this ever go to Court , Judges do not accept that the driver and the keeper are the same person so ECP will have their work cut out deciding who was driving. As long as they do not know, it will be difficult for them to win in Court which is one reason why we advise not to appeal since the appeal can lead to them finding out at times that the driver  and the keeper were the same person. You will get loads of threats from ECP and their sixth rate debt collectors and solicitors. They will also keep quoting ever higher amounts owed. Do not worry, the maximum. they can charge is the amount on the sign. Anything over that is unlawful. You can safely ignore the drivel from the Drips but come back to us should you receive a Letter of Claim. That will be the Snotty letter time.

    • Yes, it was, but in practice we've found time after time that judges will not rule against PPCs solely on the lack of PP.  They should - but they don't.  We include illegal signage in WSs, but more as a tactic to show the PPC up as spvis rather than in the hope that the judge will act on that one point alone. But sue them for what?  They haven't really done much apart from sending you stupid letters. Breach of GDPR?  It could be argued they knew you had Supremacy of Contact but it's a a long shot. Trespass to your vehicle?  I know someone on the Parking Prankster blog did that but it's one case out of thousands. Surely best to defy them and put the onus on them to sue you.  Make them carry the risk.  And if they finally do - smash them. If you want, I suppose you could have a laugh at the MA's expense.  Tell them about the criminality they have endorsed and give them 24 hours to have your tickets cancelled and have the signs removed - otherwise you will contact the council to start enforcement for breach of planning permission.

    • 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.

  • 3 weeks later...

Sorry for the delay in replying Andy, wasn't that much

 

 

Ref no 5 end bit was changed to this :

 

 

To date the claimant has yet to comply with this request.

The claimant is therefore in default of the statuary 12 days.

 

 

 

 

The ref to money is worded as monies, minor stuff.

Still have had no response to the requested CCA or CPR, should I send a reminder requesting a response to this?

 

 

Im also thinking on mediation, that I should offer a settlement figure by recorded delivery that's low say £50...... but word it as not to prejudice or incriminate myself or to admit liability on a debt that has not been proven as the above cca,cpr has not been complied with.

 

 

Whats best way forward?

No reminder needed Tig, if they choose to ignore the requests or cannot answer them, it will only strengthen your position. Leave it with them.

 

In relation to mediation, could I just clarify you are considering making an offer of £50 F&F settlement of a purported £11k debt?

I need to enter into some sort of mediation, as per the court recommendations.But as they have not supplied any entitlement to be asking for this amount my gut is saying not one penny. I dont want to look like i am not willing to discuss options..

 

I wont be bullied into giving in and rolling over..

There is no point offering £50 in F&F on an £8000 debt. Total waste of time.

Hi Tig

 

Maybe it would be best to consider any sort of formal or informal mediation at the point the court expects it i.e. both parties agree and the claim is stayed pending time for mediation to take place.

 

At that point, they may have disclosed, you may view your options and position differently, evidence and opinions may have moved etc.

 

You can then consider your mediation options fully and taking into account all the information that may be available at that point, which may alter your offer options and approach to mediation.

 

Mediation invoked by the court is without prejudice, so if unsuccessful any offers will not be presented to the court, the court will simply be advised the mediation was unsuccessful. You are therefore at liberty to offer £50 F&F if you deem that suitable.

 

Don't be blinded by the moral fight and personal points of view, make sure you weigh up the risk and rewards of any claim continuing to court (particularly Fast Track) when the opportunity of mediation presents itself and closure is possible on your terms.

 

Obviously if the debt is not yours and/ or the agreement was executed outside of the appropriate regulations which can all be proved (or they cannot prove it was) then that is a very strong position to be in and a lot of people on here would welcome that. But that is rarely the case and there seems to be elements of peoples cases that are open to interpretation by the judges which present risk to your success.

 

All just something to consider whilst progressing through the claim.

 

I personally would leave any offers or mediation/ ADR until the point the court expects it, at which point all the information/ evidence would be available to consider your mediation options.

Just looking at sorting out my draft directions. what should I consider to undermine their case, that the judge can give a direction on.

 

 

I have the MKDP, copy they sent. which I don't like the no expert evidence is permitted. Got to serve this back by the 24th October, got say 2 weeks to sort this all out

My gut feeling is to go for the documents and start with something along this type of line..

 

 

1. The Claimant shall within 14 days of service of this order send to the Defendant and to the Court:

 

 

REQUEST THE CCA AND CPR this cannot be complied with then the is struck out.......

 

 

2. mediation

3. fast track/ standard disclosure to both parties/ any objections with in 14 days

4. evidence/ signed statements./ oral evidence is permissible but only at the courts direction.

5 expert evidence is permissible

6. pre trial lists/ window/ length/ availability for trial.

7. claimant must file indexed and paginated bundle.

8. skeleton arguments

9. allows for order to be varied, on agreement with both parties. the applicant party will send application to court plus fee....

 

 

Any thoughts very much welcome :)

From MKDP ? in ref to the CPR was the following

1: The agreement.

2: The assignment.

3: The default notice.

4: Statement of account showing how the amount claimed has been reached.

 

 

Does that mean that the CCA could be considered mandatory?

No its only mandatory when you request it using section 78...that's why you always request a CPR and CCA on receipt of a claim.

 

As for the rest ...directions are not about requesting disclosure...but about how the claim will proceed...but you can still drop it in as previously requested under CPR 31.14...you expect at standard disclosure the court compels the claimant to disclose all documents previously requested and of which the claimants claim relies upon.
