    • That is really good is that a mistake last off "driver doesn't have a licence" I assume that should be keeper? The Court requested me to send the Court and applicant proof of my sons disability from their GP this clearly shows he has Severe Mental Impairement, he is also illiterate.  I naively assumed once the applicant received this that they would drop the claim.  It offends me that Bank has asked the Judge to throw the case out at the preliminary hearing and to make us pay up.
    • Hi, we are looking to get some opinions on weather or not to bother fighting this PCN. This comes from a very big retail park parking where there are restaurants, hotel, amongst other businesses. The parking is free but I suppose there must be a time limit on it that I am not aware of. We were in the area for around 4 hours. Makes us wonder how they deal with people staying in the hotel as the ANPR is on what appears to be a publicly maintained street (where london buses run) which leads to the different parking areas including the hotel.  1 Date of the infringement 26/05/2024 2 Date on the NTK  31/05/2024 3 Date received 07/06/2024 4 Does the NTK mention schedule 4 of The Protections of Freedoms Act 2012? [Y/N?]  YES 5 Is there any photographic evidence of the event? Entry and exit photos however, based on the photographs we are almost sure the photos are taken on public street. This is the location I believe photos are taken from.  https://maps.app.goo.gl/eii8zSmFFhVZDRpbA 6 Have you appealed? [Y/N?] post up your appeal] No Have you had a response?

    • 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”

    • 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.

Hi,

 

 

Can some one please advise where I stand in the following matters? If they can refer me parts of the law for further details on this matter that would assist greatly.

 

 

Here is the problem.

 

 

I had my car remapped (to make it fuel economical - was having problems and did not realise the faults at the time) and unknown at the time it was inherently faulty. The car was rejected within 6 weeks or so of purchase. The manufacturer has advised remapping has not invalidated their warranty and in the opinion the car was sold faulty following tests etc. The warranty the merchant originally claimed was no doubt the manufacturers.

 

 

The merchant (business) has gone through many excuses (originally ignored any of my phone calls): sold as seen (I am a private buyer), contract not mine (money was mine and paid for on my card, I have evidence), no warranty purchased (Monument), not a roadworthy car sold to them in part exchange (although we received a fine to say it was wrongly parked at a later date hence must have been working...). They now finally allege we have invalidated their own warranty (they had none) by 'tampering' with the car (although this was never stated originally) and that the remap has caused all the faults. They have even forged evidence. We have even evidence that the defendant is lying in transcripts.

 

 

I have found the Small Claims Court useless and proving expensive. None of the rigour I expected seems to apply.

 

 

The barrister, in my opinion, is insidious and a total liar. Very bullish and ruthless. He has completely misrepresented the facts and made me look bad twice. The hearing has been postponed twice now. I have bent over backwards and spent much time on the case trying very hard to keep to court orders etc. The other party has played nothing but games and has used underhand tactics. An example being, claiming that they are not represented and then arriving to the hearing with the barrister. Their barrister is no doubt doing much of the work behind the scenes like writing emails; very legal speak; but claiming they were and are unrepresented until the hearing day.

 

 

What I am asking is by having the remap, even with joint expert evidence (as per court order) in my favour, however they have disputed this by saying they were not allowed to add some of their documents which is very much opinionated and we only gave documents the engineer asked for the postponement was allowed so they can submit more documents regardless of any merits.

 

 

Do they not have a responsibility to prove they sold me a roadworthy car and that the remap most likely caused faults?

 

 

The barrister also stated again the car has been tampered with, this judge agreed, but the reason for the independent engineers report was to consider this aspect. So he now trying to get the defendant out of this. Using every excuse in the book.

 

 

I cannot tell you how applying this barrister is. I complained about him to the regulator and nothing was done. His conduct after the 1st hearing the judge told us to go out a make a decision, he took over and without question told a handful of lies e.g.: Sale of Goods Act doesn't apply to used goods.

 

 

He was extremely rude to us and condensing, that we don't know the law, he is a barrister and does etc...to drop the case or he'll apply for costs, by accepting and driving the car for 10mins or so it was accepted...

 

 

Following this experience, even though I had to borrow money I had to instruct a solicitor. He advised we would win hand down but he was no match for the barrister and was clearly taken aback. He hardly spoke at the hearing. He now wants to charge more to attend which I find unfair. It was he who made some mistakes and therefore the postponement occurred. Why should I pay twice for his mistake twice? I as left devastated again after this failure. He clearly had not gone through the bundle for if he has he could have given sound replies.

 

 

A remap is a software flash and reversible. Nothing hardware related.

 

 

This case is now going to be on the 4th judge at the next hearing. 1. Preliminary, 2. Hearing, 3. Hearing.

 

 

I have read:

The European law states that a manufacturer cannot cite after-market services or parts to void a warranty or reject a warranty claim. The manufacturer needs to prove that the service or part is the direct cause of the failure and the burden of proof rests with them.

 

The judges seem to side with the barrister and he gets what he wants. I have lost total faith in the justice system. This is causing me huge stress and anxiety. I originally asked for a repair, then replacement then finally refund when I wasn't getting anywhere.

 

 

I kindly ask if you guys can refer me to relevant laws on this matter. Including the contract aspect. My partner signed the papers, I was within the vicinity but with my children. The car is under my name and was driven by me. My partner is now unlikely to attend the hearing for we have split. This aspect was brought up re the contract and sold as seen. Clearly a trader cannot state sold as seen, and my partner did not purchase as sold as seen. The merchant says he did.

 

My claim is under the Sale of Goods Act.

Very technical, fault codes. Engine misfire, DPF blocked, cracked engine, engine hesitation etc. no full service history (we never got the documents until later from dvla), sold as full, some worn tyres, over legal limit ( sold as all new) and more. None of this seems to matter to the case when it should. It all seems to boil down to the remap.

You say:

"I had my car remapped (to make it fuel economical - was having problems and did not realise the faults at the time) and unknown at the time it was inherently faulty. The car was rejected within 6 weeks or so of purchase. The manufacturer has advised remapping has not invalidated their warranty and in the opinion the car was sold faulty following tests etc. The warranty the merchant originally claimed was no doubt the manufacturers."

 

For what I know you cannot just remap a vehicle and legally drive it on a public road for many reasons:

- change of power output; this would need to be declared to dvla and vehicle inspected to pass an mot otherwise the vehicle has to be deemed unroadworthy

- modifications; this would invalidate your insurance if not declared

- mapping a vehicle ecu will definitely invalidate manufacturer warranty, no matter for what reason. As a matter of fact back in the days of being a road racer I had a nearly new VW golf mapped, the turbo charger blew up and VW told me to get stuffed which is fair.

 

Given all these reasons I would say that the seller has got the right cards to win this hand.

He sold you a working vehicle, you messed about with its ecu which is the brain of it and the vehicle broke down.

It would be near impossible to convince a judge that the mapping had nothing to do with the fault even if it was done to make it fuel economical (really?)

The expert engineer disagrees having looked at the documents. The manufacturer has advised car is still under warranty (with remap and in writing). We have this in writing. ECU remap is reversible. Car is not driven. Car had hardware problems not software. All manufactures settings intact. Problems prior to remap.

From all that is would seem that you never gave it a test drive nor examined it. You can't include the tyres as that is something you are expected to have reasonably been expected to have noticed if you examined it.

 

 

This is Sale of Goods Act 1974 (as amended), and it does cover used goods. Suggest you print off a copy and take it with you if he continues to claim this.

No, there is no such thing as 'Sold as seen'. That would be an attempt to take away or reduce a consumers rights which is unlawful.

It is up to the seller to show it was not faulty at the time of purchase.

It is up to the seller to offer repair, replace or refund at his discretion.

 

 

Have you got a proper written engineers report on proper company paper with their company registration and vat number on ?

Dear Conniff,

 

 

The manufacturer is aware the car is remapped and has stated in writing the warranty is not invalidated. The ecu software company provider has confirmed the correct software was applied. The independent engineers report as per court requests states the same that the ecu remap is not the reason for faults. It was for the is reason the report was requested. However, the defendants barrister has now tried to claim we have tampered with the car so have no come back. The hearing has been postponed again for the defendants have claimed they have been prejudiced by not being allowed to provide some of their documents, namely their engineers report (which is full of opinions and he has never had access to the car) and he was not authorised by the court. They have now been allowed to submit this so we feel that is unfair and in breach of the rules but don't we don't mind for the report is a good read to have a laugh. They also wished to add another document which does not mention the car but they claim these were undertaken.

 

 

The car was bough by my sisters ex-partner and for her and the children with her money. Car is under her name too. We have evidence. They/the barrister are now disputing who the 'contract' is with. Her ex is unlikely to turn up. Any support here would be great to regarding the law.

 

 

Many thanks

 

 

This will now be in front a 4th judge beacuase of the defendants and their barrister. The barrister has lied blatantly on a number of occasions to our shock.

I see all that, but forget warranty, this has nothing whatsoever to do with warranty, this is Sale of Goods.

 

 

I ask again, is this independent report a proper typed up report on company headed paper with all the company details ??

If that's the case, vw mugged me off at the time.

Dear Conniff, Yes it is, paid for. Fully qualified engineer. Both parties had to agree to an engineer. As discussed above the hearing was postponed for they disputed this and the defendants have claimed they have been prejudiced by not being allowed to provide some of their documents, namely their 'expert' engineers report (which is full of opinions and he has never had access to the car and not independent) and this engineer was not authorised by the court to do this. However, the documents will have to be supplied as requested by the judge and it is up to the independent engineer to make what he want of it.

 

 

We have advised that this is a Sale of Goods Act claim but they have claimed so many things. Warranty, sold as seen, trade sale...the judges have not said that you can't say that to private buyers and now pursuing the contract element. Originally the claim was just under my sisters name, but then her ex was added on (he signed the papers) following the preliminary hearing. They got back together, he provided a witness statement, they have no split proper so he will no longer likely attend. The barrister has requested he, the ex, be removed from the case if he confirms he won't be attending and the new judge has made an order for this. So you can guess what's his trying. The car was fully paid with my sisters money and she was there but with the kids in the car. It is she who authorised the purchase. This is being rejected by the other side.

 

 

I have read a number of things on this and I believe enough information to cover all this but want confirmation of the law &/or a link to the law confirm this stuff solidly re remap is irrelevant given the above, contract.

 

 

Thank you.

As stated before car is under her name. She commenced legal proceedings. All the complaints to the merchant etc. from the start from her. Her debit card was used to pay some of the amount towards the car. Rest in cash. So I am sure I have it all covered since I have researching but just want reassurance re the law...kindest regards.

Not sure I understand what is going on here so lets go back to basics with what car, how old, what was the original fault, what subsequent faults and what and why you re-mapped and what re-map you had.

A time line of events would be useful as well as the OP post is very confusing.

 

 

I can categorically state though that in my experience no manufacturer will allow a re-map without invalidating the original warranty. You might have some communication stating that in their opinion the re-map has no effect but from an engineering perspective it could. I'm very surprised you have something stating that they would continue the warranty with the re-map.

 

 

Personally I'm not surprised that you seem to be given the run around as your post and details are very unclear and it would appear the defending barrister realises this.

 

 

Court judges are not daft so something has to be there that you are doing as well that leads the defence to be acting like you suggest.

No the case is very clear. Quite the contrary, we have a solicitor representing us but the barrister out witted and the solicitor barely had a chance to talk. Our case is very strong. As I said the case was postponed so an amended report could be filed.

 

 

What I am after is the law aspects re contract element of my post.

Go on Hammy you know it makes sense!!

 

 

I don't think the case is at all clear by any means...well certainly not on here and in order for any guidance that could be given you need to go back and state the basics of your case. It appears you are asking for some advice based on a mish mash of info and if that is what is on here then in all likelihood so is the case before a Judge and that is not on.

 

 

What appears to be happening is that you have rejected a car after 6 weeks and having interfered with it the defence is using this as their argument.

 

 

I don't think you have gone about this in the correct way at all however you are not to know. So again I ask what are the basics of your case and the circumstances along with a little bit more detail and to add your case cannot be that strong as it will have been dealt with in the first hearing so obviously there is something there which is causing the Judge to re-schedule.

heliosuk, thank you for your response. If only you saw the bundle you would not say the same. Indeed, it is the defendants who have made at least 8 excuses to date given each one the one proceeding 'failed'. Our claim has remained the same. We have not had the opportunity to discuss the case properly. I will let the solicitor deal with it. I wanted some information for my understanding and knowledge. I am sorry I am not clear. I did not wish to give to much information, indeed both me and my sibling who I am writing this for feel we have given too much information. With regards to my clarity, I am sorry, but I do have some disabilities. Thank you for your help.

Imho, reading the all thread again, there's very little chance of success with your claim.

Whatever you have in writing, the remapping affects the car performance.

The defence will go hard about this point (rightly so) because as said a remapped car is:

A. Unroadworthy

B. Modified and not declared to insurance = uninsured

C. Manufacturer warranty void (except in this case for obscure reasons)

D. Not functioning as intended. All finely tuned car components do not work as intended because the car performance is altered.

 

Thinking of this last point let's think with defence / insurance brain:

A door hinge comes off and a reasonable person would think that this has got nothing to do with the remap.

However it could (and should) be argued that because the car is remapped, it might produce excessive vibrations and the door hinge comes off.

That's why if a car is remapped for whatever reason, it needs to be reported to dvla/vosa and insurance.

The manufacturer will find out at the first warranty claim when they plug the car to their computer, even if the remapping has been reversed.

I'm told that to wipe out the ecu history is a very expensive job and the manufacturer would find out anyway because data that should be there is gone.

In essence you can't just delete the remapping without leaving a trace of it, unless you destroy all ecu data (so I'm told by a mapping 'magician'.

Dear King12345, I believe you have it wrong. The car was faulty prior to having it remapped. It is not my car. Because of the problems a ecu remap was actioned with the manufactures settings intact. The reason for the engineers. We have been fully advised by the software provider etc. Ecu remap is completely reversible. It is a Sale of Goods Act claim. I believe some posters have it wrong due to the way I have written things. It is no different to routing your phone which is software and not hardware related. From what informative things I have read Conniff has it right.

The care was used aprox 2 months and then shortly later no longer used. Did approx. 1500 miles. Tyres were pass the legal limit when serviced but sold as new. Wrong bolts on wheels. Air conditioning faulty. Lighter faulty among the problems described above. Cracked engine etc.

Actually no Addyv. Conniff has just tried to clarify the situation as he sees it based on what you have said. Others take a different view.

It is true in certain respects that the re-map will not affect other aspects of the cars operation but there are certain details you have posted which possibly could irrespective of the fact you have some sort of evidence from the manufactuer that it won't.

 

 

My position dictates the authority to issue such said letters on behalf of a manufacturer and believe me I would not under any circumstances issue one unless I knew without doubt what the issue was which you are not declaring here. And even then it would be crystal clear as to which bits were being referred to.

 

 

I think you might well have a good case but objective advice is impossible without the full details. Something smells here and I think it could be the way the original papers were filed in that you might have gone after the engine issues when in reality you might have perhaps been better placed to go for the overall condition. If you are rejecting as I think you might be on the basis of engine problems then frankly not a hope in hell of winning unless you can categorically prove that the re map had no effect. Just read the owners manual...all stated there usually.

I believe some posters have it wrong due to the way I have written things. It is no different to routing your phone which is software and not hardware related. From what informative things I have read Conniff has it right.

 

So to make it clear: The car developed a fault and the remap was done to fix this fault?

Did you contact the seller to advise of the problem or just tried to fix it by remapping?

If the latter, the defence would have even a stronger case.

I say 'you', but I mean whoever owns the car.
