    • Thank you for posting their WS. If we start with the actual WS made by the director one would have doubts that they had even read PoFA let alone understood it. Point 10  we only have the word of the director that the contract has been extended. I should have had the corroboration of the Client. Point 12 The Judge HHJ Simkiss was not the usual Judge on motoring cases and his decisions on the necessity of contracts did not align with PoFA. In Schedule 4 [1[ it is quite clearly spelt out- “relevant contract” means a contract (including a contract arising only when the vehicle was parked on the relevant land) between the driver and a person who is—(a)the owner or occupier of the land; or (b authorised, under or  by virtue of arrangements made by the owner or occupier of the land, to enter into a contract with the driver requiring the payment of parking charges in respect of the parking of the vehicle on the land; And the laughable piece of paper from the land owners cannot be described as a contract. I respectfully ask that the case be dismissed as there is no contract. WE do not even know what the parking regulations are which is really basic. It is respectfully asked that without a valid contract the case cannot continue. One would imagine that were there a valid contract it would have been produced.  So the contract that Bank has with the motorist must come from the landowner. Bank on their own cannot impose their own contract. How could a director of a parking company sign a Statement of Truth which included Point 11. Point 14. There is no offer of a contract at the entrance to the car park. Doubtful if it is even an offer to treat. The entrance sign sign does not comply with the IPC Code of Conduct nor is there any indication that ANPR cameras are in force. A major fault and breach of GDPR. Despite the lack of being offered a contract at the entrance [and how anyone could see what was offered by way of a contract in the car park is impossible owing to none of the signs in the WS being at all legible] payment was made for the car to park. A young person in the car made the payment. But before they did that, they helped an elderly lady to make her payment as she was having difficulty. After arranging payment for the lady the young lad made his payment right behind. Unfortunately he entered the old lady's number again rather than paying .for the car he was in. This can be confirmed by looking at the Allow List print out on page 25. The defendant's car arrived at 12.49 and at 12.51 and 12.52  there are two payments for the same vrm. This was also remarked on by the IPC adjudicator when the PCN was appealed.  So it is quite disgraceful that Bank have continued to pursue the Defendant knowing that it was a question of  entering the wrong vrm.  Point 21 The Defendant is not obliged to name the driver, they are only invited to do so under S9[2][e]. Also it is unreasonable to assume that the keeper is the driver. The Courts do not do that for good reason. The keeper in this case does not have a driving licence. Point 22. The Defendant DID make a further appeal which though it was also turned down their reply was very telling and should have led to the charge being dropped were the company not greedy and willing to pursue the Defendant regardless of the evidence they had in their own hands. Point 23 [111] it's a bit rich asking the Defendant to act justly and at proportionate cost while acting completely unjustly themselves and then adding an unlawful 70% on to the invoice. This  is despite PoFA S4[5] (5)The maximum sum which may be recovered from the keeper by virtue of the right conferred by this paragraph is the amount specified in the notice to keeper under paragraph 9[2][d].  Point 23 [1v] the Director can deny all he wants but the PCN does not comply with PoFA. S9 [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 only quotes the ANPR arrival and departure times which obviously includes a fair amount of driving between the two cameras. Plus the driver and passengers are a mixture of disabled and aged persons who require more time than just a young fit single driver to exit the car and later re enter. So the ANPR times cannot be the same as the required parking period as stipulated in the ACT. Moreover in S9[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; You will note that in the PCN the words in parentheses are not included but at the start of Section 9 the word "must" is included. As there are two faults in the PCN it follows that Bank cannot pursue the keeper . And as the driver does not have a driving licence their case must fail on that alone. And that is not even taking into consideration that the payment was made. Point 23 [v] your company is wrong a payment was made. very difficult to prove a cash payment two weeks later when the PCN arrives. However the evidence was in your print out for anyone to see had they actually done due diligence prior to writing to the DVLA. Indeed as the Defendant had paid there was no reasonable cause to have applied for the keeper details. Point 24 the Defendant did not breach the contract. The PCN claimed the Defendant failed to make a payment when they had made a payment.   I haven't finished yet but that is something to start with
    • You don't appeal to anyone. You haven't' received a demand from a statutory body like the council, the police or the courts. It's just a dodgy cowboy company trying it on. You simply don't pay.  In the vast majority of these cases the company deforest the Amazon with threats about how they are going to divert a drone from Ukraine and make it land on your home - but in the end they do nothing.
    • honestly you sound like you work the claimant yes affixed dont appeal to anyone no cant be “argued either way”  
    • Because of the tsunami of cases we are having for this scam site, over the weekend I had a look at MET cases we have here stretching back to June 2014.  Yes, ten years. MET have not once had the guts to put a case in front of a judge. In about 5% of cases they have issued court papers in the hope that the motorist will be terrified of going to court and will give in.  However, when the motorist defended, it was MET who bottled it.  Every time.
    • Hi everyone, Thanks for the responses. Just a few follow up questions in light of what's been said:   If I dont appeal to PPM, who can I appeal to?   Why should the PCN been attached to the windscreen? Is this written in law?   I assumed the document I had received was the NTK, if this is not the case, what does a NTK look like?   Regarding the compliance with the Protection of Freedoms Act, could the "period" of parking not be argued either way? The legislation doesnt state it must have a start/end time of parking, which I assumed an ANPR camera would pick up if it had one. Is 4 minutes not technically enough to show the vehicle was parked?    Thanks !

    • 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.

I parked in West Quay Retail park today 16/10/14 at 11:10. as I intended to shop at Maplin that is situated at this place.

 

 

I parked right under the sign where the parking regulations where stated tho I couldnt read the small print as the sign is about 12 feet high and i wear varifocal glasses meaning i have to look through the bottom of them to read small text and I could not bend my neck far enough back to do this because of the height of the sign.

 

 

in large print it clearly states 1 hour maximum stay with no return within 2 hours.

I walked out of the car park at the back looking for a cash point and and then around the front into maplin, left to do more shopping in the town as I was well within the 1 hour,

 

 

on returning to my car at 11:45 i had been issued a ticket with a time of 11:33 with reason for issue being Driver/passengers observed leaving site!

 

 

The issuer was as I noticed the ticket issuing a ticket to another car,

I informed him i had shopped at Maplin and showed him proof.

he refused to cancel the ticket and actually informed me he knows of other issuers that have been sacked for such actions.

 

 

I had misplaced my receipt from Maplin so went back to see if I could have a copy but purchased another item

STILL WITHIN my 1 hour and returned to my car.

 

 

At this point the issuer returned to me saying he had phoned his boss and I was instructed to follow PART 2 of my ticket.

This is the story thus far.

 

 

on returning home I phoned Maplin and informed them of the ticket saying I will no longer be shopping there if tickets are issued in such a manner.

 

I dont believe I should have been given a ticket for the following reasons,

I could not read all of the sign,

I shopped on site and was well within the 1 hour!!

 

 

Do I stand a chance of winning if I appeal?

 

I have uploaded a photo of the sign from the car park.

ticket was issued by UK CPS Ltd

You wait for a Notice To Keeper in the post from UKCPS.

 

This has to be after 28 days from today.

 

Can you post up a redacted copy of the ticket in PDF format. Also convert the sign picture to PDF please so it can be read.

Sit back and relax. They cant do anything until they send the NTK out which is 4 weeks from now. Then you can really get them annoyed and make THEM pay a good sum of money :)

The idea that you can be penalised for leaving the site is laughable. Apart from the obtaining the proof necessary to show you did would break the law there is also a case precedent that leaves such a claim dead in the water.

Make them spend their money contacting the DVLA and when they do write to the keeper of the vehicle you can then complain to the DVLA about the misuse of your data as the parking co had no lawful reason to obtain it.

Now you send a written appeal to UKCPS as keeper, denying all liability for the debt. Put them to strict photograhic proof that the driver left the site on the day in question. Of course they won't be able to provide this. Make it clear that you are expecting a POPLA code to be provided should they not accept the appeal. Send back via recorded delivery and wait for their next move.

Please see my thread posted today " Advice on this Parking Charge Notice" posted today. I am in the same position as yourself. One thing I found is that West Quay Retail Park does not exist. Checked with the council and the shops addresses. Maybe thats why they use the word ' site'. I intend to ask for any data or photographic evidence that they are holding.

opde: I would go with;

 

As the registered keeper of the vehicle bearing the registration XXXX XXX I am in receipt of your Notice to Keeper (NTK) reference number XXXXXXX dated XX/XX/2014. As registered keeper I wish to invoke your appeals process, as any and all liability to your company is denied on the following grounds;

 

The driver on the day in question has no recollection of leaving the site.

 

In any event, a person leaving the site would not be a valid reason for issuing an invoice for punitive losses, as held by Vehicle Control Services vs Ibbotson (Heard by District Judge McIlwaine - Scunthorpe County Court on 16th May 2012 - Ref: 1SE09849)

 

Additionally, since your NTK does not contain any photographic evidence of the alleged infraction, as prescribed under schedule 4, paragraph 10 of the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012, this ticket should be cancelled immediately.

 

These points and others will be raised with POPLA should you not accept this appeal.

 

Please confirm your cancellation of this ticket within 35 days of this letter, or provide a POPLA verification code.

 

Fill in the gaps, Sign it off with your name and signature, set it out as a formal letter etc. Get free proof of postage from the post office in case they claim not to receive it. If they've got any sense they'll drop it there, as they know they'll get spanked at POPLA.

Oh dear.. Yup, I just got one, Maplins, Hull. Yup i'm going to tell them where to put it. Worryingly it wasn't there when I left the carpark but was there at WORK yesterday!
Before you rush a reply to them, use tihis forum for help and advise on how to handle it. I jumped in at first before i foung this forum, but then used the advice given to me and it worked great. Just be aware the Parking companys may be listening sometimes on here.

Also, only ever PRINT/TYPE your name. If you put your SIGNATURE they may be able to upload that to fabricate a document that appears to have been some agreement between you and them (e.g. admission that you were the driver, or that you accept that you are liable for the charge).
