    • I have just read the smaller print on their signs. It says that you can pay at the end of your parking session. given that you have ten minutes grace period the 35 seconds could easily have been taken up with walking back to your car, switching on the engine and then driving out. Even in my younger days when I used to regularly exceed speed limits, I doubt I could have done that in 35 seconds even when I  had a TR5.

    • Thank you for posting up the results from the sar. The PCN is not compliant with the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012 Schedule 4. Under Section 9 [2][a] they are supposed to specify the parking time. the photographs show your car in motion both entering and leaving the car park thus not parking. If you have to do a Witness Statement later should they finally take you to Court you will have to continue to state that even though you stayed there for several hours in a small car park and the difference between the ANPR times and the actual parking period may only be a matter of a few minutes  nevertheless the CEL have failed to comply with the Act by failing to specify the parking period. However it looks as if your appeal revealed you were the driver the deficient PCN will not help you as the driver. I suspect that it may have been an appeal from the pub that meant that CEL offered you partly a way out  by allowing you to claim you had made an error in registering your vehicle reg. number . This enabled them to reduce the charge to £20 despite them acknowledging that you hadn't registered at all. We have not seen the signs in the car park yet so we do not what is said on them and all the signs say the same thing. It would be unusual for a pub to have  a Permit Holders Only sign which may discourage casual motorists from stopping there. But if that is the sign then as it prohibits any one who doesn't have a permit, then it cannot form a contract with motorists though it may depend on how the signs are worded.
    • Defence and Counterclaim Claim number XXX Claimant Civil Enforcement Limited Defendant XXXXXXXXXXXXX   How much of the claim do you dispute? I dispute the full amount claimed as shown on the claim form.   Do you dispute this claim because you have already paid it? No, for other reasons.   Defence 1. The Defendant is the recorded keeper of XXXXXXX  2. It is denied that the Defendant entered into a contract with the Claimant. 3. As held by the Upper Tax Tribunal in Vehicle Control Services Limited v HMRC [2012] UKUT 129 (TCC), any contract requires offer and acceptance. The Claimant was simply contracted by the landowner to provide car-park management services and is not capable of entering into a contract with the Defendant on its own account, as the car park is owned by and the terms of entry set by the landowner. Accordingly, it is denied that the Claimant has authority to bring this claim. 4. In any case it is denied that the Defendant broke the terms of a contract with the Claimant. 5. The Claimant is attempting double recovery by adding an additional sum not included in the original offer. 6. In a further abuse of the legal process the Claimant is claiming £50 legal representative's costs, even though they have no legal representative. 7. The Particulars of Claim is denied in its entirety. It is denied that the Claimant is entitled to the relief claimed or any relief at all.

    • 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.

Priestly Crowe and Blue Sky PPI reclaiming - can we do it ourselves rather than pay a fee to them?

He is an interesting little addition and one that applies to another thread involving Priestley Crowe (I will post it there also just to add to the information).

 

 

Today a letter was received from Priestley Crowe addressed to my Partners ex husband at her current address. As she pays all the bills now that he has run off she opened it and low and behold it was a letter from Priestley Crowe saying that they had been appointed by the liquidators Findlay James to act on behalf of Blue Sky Personal Finance that had gone into liquidation in 2014. They said he was owed money and to fill in the application form provided.

 

 

Now in the other thread the discussion regarding both Findlay James and Priestley Crowe revolved around GE Finance which just so happens to be one of the creditors on my partners list. So looks like they are attempting to claim twice of the same party for the same PPI.

 

 

Anyhow I contact Findlay James to ask them if Priestley Crowe had been appointed by them and also to ask if this was the case why are they passing these details on to a company that charges a fee for something that can be done for free. There response by email was....

 

 

" We have forwarded it to a company we feel would do their best for the clients, as we don't currently have the resources to deal with all the queries. If you wish to make a claim with another company or do it yourself, you are well to do so, you do not have to use the Priestley Crowe if you don't want to. "

 

 

Not particularly happy with this response I replied to them as follows:

 

 

"Thank you for your prompt reply (below). Whilst I appreciate that you have confirmed that you have forwarded my details to another company, I would like to you to clarify some points:

 

1. Are Priestley Crowe officially appointed by Findlay James?

 

2. Bearing in mind I had made no claim to Blue Sky Personal Finance with regards to PPI, why was my information passed to a third party without my consent?"

 

 

There response to the 2nd email....

 

 

"I confirm that Priestley Crowe LLP (“PC”) have been appointed agents of the Liquidator pursuant to Paragraph 4 of Schedule 4 of the Insolvency Act 1986 to assist in quantifying and helping to agree all claims against the Company. As such, no consent was required from you"

 

 

I know very little about liquidated companies etc but my limited knowledge would suggest that a company liquidated in 2014 would have little in the way of assets to claim from therefore Findlay James are forwarding details to Priestley Crowe who are getting people to claim knowing there will be little to be awarded but Priestley Crowe are likely to charge full amounts for claiming this little back and potentially putting people in debt.

 

 

I am also concerned that information is being passed to Priestley Crowe without any checks...this PPI information passed to Priestley Crowe was done with no initial claim being made agains Blue Sky.

Hi i am so glad that i decided to google Priestley Crowe before filling in the form i received.

 

Just before i went on holiday

i received a letter from Priestly Crowe stating that they had been appointed on behalf of the liquidator for Blue Sky.

 

 

I did have a loan with blue sky so at first i was just going to fill it in and see what happened

but in the first line it mentions a previous conversation.

 

 

Whilst i have probably been contacted by them before i deal with all PPI calls in the same way,

either hang up or tell them that i have already reclaimed everything.

 

My only question now would be is there any point in trying to claim from Blue Sky by myself?

  • 2 weeks later...

After my last posting I started to receive conflicting reports on how best to proceed bearing in mind what had gone on before.

 

 

I managed to speak to one of the Senior Partners at Priestley and to be fair we had a fairly frank but corrteous and fruitfull discussion to bring this to an amicable end.

 

 

To that end it was agreed that my partner would allow Priestley Crowe to look after the claims for some of the ones which may potentially be outstanding whilst my Partner and myself would look after some others that we had been notified of separately.

 

 

Whilst I still feel it is the wrong way to do this I don't feel I can allow these claim to carry on in the current manner and Priestly Crowe to be fair have compromised and given some assurances on the outcome of the claims. Proof is in the pudding and if Priestley Crowe come through with the agreed settlement I will be happy to come back and let you know the results.

still don't like the idea that a company that charges fees to reclaim PPI

is the only proported route to getting PPI back on blue sky stuff

if people know no better

 

 

im sure the FOS would be very interested in this.

The Legal Ombudsman and MOJ would be more interested.

 

CMC's are regulated by them - not the FCA, which means FOS has no jurisdiction.

Wasn't talking about regulation specifically

But mores the fact that as it reads

People that have PPI on a blue sky product

Appear to only be able to get PPI back by this one route

 

That's not right and the fos need to be told

 

If they then comment its for the moj then fine

But I feel they would like to know and p'haps comment
