      PCN - MFG - ESSO COBHAM - GRAVESEND

      By PCNWarrior · Posted

      I have received a PCN from Euro Car Parks for MFG - Esso Cobham - Gravesend. I was completely unaware that there was any such limit for parking and always considered this to be a service station. I stopped there to use the toilet, have a coffee and made a couple of work calls. I have read the previous topics on this location which suggest I can ignore this and ECP will not take legal action. The one possible complication is that the vehicle is leased by my employer so I do not want to involve them with the associated reminders and threatening letters. The PCN was first issued to the leasing company Arval who have notified ECP of the hiring company. I have attached a copy of the PCN Notice to Hirer with details removed as per instructions. What options do I have or should I just pay the PCN promptly at the reduced rate of £60? img20240424_23142631.pdf

      What you have uploaded is a letter with daft empty threats from third-party paper tigers.  Just ignore it. What we need to see is the original invoice you received last October or November.

      Thanks for posting the CPR contents. i do wish you hadn't blanked out the dates and times since at times they can be relevant . Can you please repost including times and dates. They say that they sent a copy of  the original  PCN that they sent to the Hirer  along with your hire agreement documents. Did you receive them and if so can you please upload the original PCN without erasing dates and times. If they did include  all the paperwork they said, then that PCN is pretty near compliant except for their error with the discount time. In the Act it isn't actually specified but to offer a discount for 14 days from the OFFENCE is a joke. the offence occurred probably a couple of months prior to you receiving your Notice to Hirer.  Also the words in parentheses n the Act have been missed off. Section 14 [5][c] (c)warn the hirer that if, after the period of 21 days beginning with the day after that on which the notice to hirer is given, the amount of unpaid parking charges referred to in the notice to keeper under paragraph 8(2)(f) or 9(2)(f) (as the case may be) has not been paid in full, the creditor will (if any applicable requirements are met) have the right to recover from the hirer so much of that amount as remains unpaid; Though it states "if any applicable ...." as opposed to "if all applicable......" in Section 8 or 9. Maybe the Site could explain what the difference between the two terms mean if there is a difference. Also on your claim form they keeper referring to you as the driver or the keeper.  You are the Hirer and only the Hirer is responsible for the charge EVEN IF THEY WEREN'T THE DRIVER. So they cannot pursue the driver and nowhere in the Hirer section of the Act is the hirer ever named as the keeper so NPC are pursuing the wrong person.

    • Big Motoring World Enfield /Blackhorse - done over on car - @BigMotoringWrld

      ATJ posted a topic in Vehicle retailers and manufacturers,

      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

    • Post in Suing a parcel delivery company when you don't have a direct contract with them – third-party rights Copy of judgment available

      BankFodder posted a post in a topic,

      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.

Ray, why do i have to give advice, yes, its an opinion.

Viktor, glad you are interested. Cell phones all work, no overhead.

If all that i have read on here was true there would be 6 year sentences handed out.

Because all you people do is bleat instead of realising what has gone on you wont get anywhere.

Get real gents, its not a holiday company, its not bernie madoff, there are trading problems yes, but, only since this forum started, strange that.

I am in for the long hall, a serious investor, if you cant stand the heat............i have more than enough work with my wife to keep LS going, or should i tell her to drop company, work for me on a contract and post nonsense with the rest of you.........smell the coffee.

 

 

Seems to me as if someone else is feeling the heat but hasn't the guts to admit it.

Gallery! This is an advice forum, not a social media site! and that's what we did when the OP raised the problem of non-protected deposits and LL not getting rent.

It just flowed from there.

This is not the first thread on the subject.

But from what's been said there does seem to be some illegal activity!

So unless you can offer some practical advice to the OP and others that appear to be owed money, there is no point in you posting anything!

Gallery,

 

 

Please enlighten us as to how your deposit is protected with her and also are you dealing with her directly as LS as both of the companies are being struck off.

 

 

In addition, the first posts about troubles with regards deposit goes back to the 19th September 2013, so quite a while ago.

 

 

Legislation states:

 

 

"From 6th April 2012, deposits for all assured short hold tenancies (ASTs) in England and Wales must now be protected within 30 calendar days of receipt by the landlord, this change is as a result of the Localism Bill 2011."

 

 

Clearly with M&W Lettings this has not been the case which is why so many of us are on here, the deposits should have been protected by law and if they had then there would not be a problem.

 

 

This forum is a very useful medium for all of us that are owed monies by both LS and JC to discuss the situation and move forward to a successful outcome involving us getting back what we are rightfully owed. It also acts a warning to others so that they hopefully will not be out of pocket as much as all of us.

 

 

There are plenty of reports in the media about rogue agents taking clients deposit monies and not returning them, they have been prosecuted and found guilty. There is a very interesting article on BBC Newsbeat about the scale of the problem and apparently it is now of national priority to sort out this type of illegal behaviour.

Perhaps they dont go to bed at 10pm where they live....

Perhaps they dont care about unlawful activity because they are outside the jurisdiction of the UK or EU. However, the property is here so not immune from the force of the law.

No you don't.... :roll:

 

you just get up earlier than some.... :-)

Hi, I am a former landlord who is owed money from the same person but a previous company. I had an hour long meeting with the police today about the years of activity which has brought about so much hassle for so many people. Their advice was to get in contact with as many people as possible via forums and other landlords and to contact the "Action Fraud" You can report a fraud to Action Fraud! Can't post the link, but google it.

If enough people report their dealings with this person then it WILL be investigated, otherwise they will open another agency soon and do what they do best (Take people's hard earned money). Please, please, please, pass this on or respond.

It's in the interest to make people aware who have been affected that there is something that can be done.

 

Hello there.

 

Yes, we know people need to be aware of what's happening and that is why we have this thread. However, you don't need to post oneliners which appear to be trying to build up your post count, which is why we might delete some.

My apologies, it wasn't for the post count at all.

After my meeting with the police yesterday I was very riled because it seems all that can be done is to gather as many people as possible and to contact the right people, who will investigate and will pass it onto the police as a criminal matter.

Hi HB

Thanks for understanding!

This the first time i've used a forum, I've read somewhere that somebody joined in with a handle (jclemo) defending LS with threats of IP addresses being reported to the police.

Not sure of the legalities regarding naming names but it appears initials are used frequently.

Are the site team a group of landlords or tenants who fell victim to LS?

Regards,

TDTB.

Hello again. To explain a bit more, CAG is run by volunteers and we have dozens of forums, one of them being about problems with rentals.

 

This particular thread has attracted people who have had problems with M&W lettings. CAG is hosting the thread to allow you all to air your views, but we remain neutral.

 

I hope that explains. :)

Hi HB,

Thanks for the explanation, as I said before I am new to forums.

I along with 6 other landlords were with Alastair Stuart & Sly LTD back in 2004 to which the company was dissolved owing us a total of £48,550.00, so i've been following the directors movements for a while especially after the £28,000 benefit fraud which led me to M & W and then to this forum. I know that there has been companies in between them, their history I don't know. But what does interest me is how to take further action in stopping other from becoming victims.

Do you have any advice on how to connect with people and make it a police matter and finally put an end to this?

Kind Regards,

TDTB.

Just do what you're doing. People can contact police individually and discuss how to proceed here.

 

This is probably a very silly question but are M&W affiliated to any professional body like ARLA?

Hi Caro,

They claim to be affiliated with a governing body but research shows that being incorrect, hence why they can keep people's deposits. A governing body like ARLA periodically check accounts to ensure such behavior doesn't happen.

If people have problems with a company they can report them to ARLA who will investigate and take disciplinary action, assuming of course that the company or person are members. I'm sure they'd want to know if people falsely claimed to be members too

I have just been involved in making a complaint to Action Fraud about a completely different agent to the one in this thread.

 

I am curious to know if any of the landlords who used M&W have made such a complaint and whether anything came as a result.

 

In my case Action Fraud have stated that they believe fraud has been committed in my case (holding deposit taken with no intention of providing accommodation) and we are supplying further information. I believe they need to hear about a number of cases for the same people before they take action.

Unlikely you will hear anything from AF. They are just a front to make people believe they can take action and something will happen.
