    • 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.

    • 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 All,

 

I have recently received a questionnaire from the court in regards to a claim logged by Howard Cohen in May 2015.

 

To make a long story short

they lodged a claim

I acknowledged the claim with embarrassed response. (see Below)

 

1. The particulars of claim discloses no cause of action and are self evidently an abuse of process, in that they fail to deal with the basic rules of pleading in accordance with the CPR (even allowing for the constraints of the bulk issue system).

 

2. The defendant is embarrassed in pleading to the Particulars of Claim as it stands at present, inter alia: -

 

3. The claimants' particulars of claims disclose no legal cause of action and they are embarrassing to the defendant as the claimant's statement of case is insufficiently particularised and does not comply or even attempt to comply with CPR part 16. In this regard I wish to draw the courts attention to the following matters;

 

a) The Particulars of Claim are vague and insufficient and do not disclose an adequate statement of facts relating to or proceeding the alleged cause of action. No particulars are offered in relation to the nature of the written agreement referred to, the method the claimant calculated any outstanding sums due, or any other matters necessary to substantiate the claimant's claim.

 

b) A copy of the purported written agreement that the claimant cites in the Particulars of Claim, and which appears to form the basis upon which these proceedings have been brought, has not been served attached to the claim form.

 

c) A copy of any evidence of both the scope and nature of any default, and proof of any amount outstanding on the alleged accounts, has not been served attached to the claim form.

 

4. Further to that above the defendant is unable to plead effectively or at all. The defendant is embarrassed.

 

5. I respectfully request the court’s permission to submit an amended defence should the claimant file a fully particularised Particulars of Claim and the documents requested.

 

On Friday last week I received the questionnaire as well as a copy of default a statement and copy of agreement..

Do I now need to log a new defence or have they won because of the documents provided?

 

Any advice would be appreciated.

 

Thanks in advance.

Name of Claimant - Hoist/ Howard Cohen

Value of claim £2274.

Claim is for an overdraft.

 

Original agreement entered before 2007. ( Bank account opened in 2001)

 

Claim issued by the debt purchaser - Hoist

 

Notice of assignment received from Santander.

 

No yearly statutory notices as far as I am aware.

 

Payments ceased as I was experiencing financial difficulties

 

Made a payment plan with Stepchange but they cancelled the plan due to missed payment.

I have recently return the small claims questionnaire.

I also received a pack from Howard Cohen containing the notice of transfer, notice of default

and a copy of the bank account opening agreement although no documentation has been provided for the overdraft.

 

The claim was originally issued in March and I replied with the embarrassed acknowledgement.

After which I didnt hear anything more so I assumed the claim was stayed.

Now that both parties have submitted their DQ,s (N180) the Court will send you a Notice of Allocation...read this carefully as it will contain directions on how you are to proceed with the claim in preparation for trial.

Ok so do I stand a chance of actually winning this or would it be better to go down the mediation route?

 

I will post the paperwork I have received from them later today.

Yes I did..... in your opinion would it be better to mediate? or do I need to request they provide specific paperwork in relation to the overdraft?

 

Not really sure of what the next steps are - also will I get a chance to file a new defence as the original claim was the embarrassed defence. I have also changed my address since the claim form has been issued - I have advised the court of the change of address do I also need to advise Howard Cohen?

 

Can I request disclosure of how much they paid for the debt?

 

Thanks for you help.

Mediation is helpful in all cases...to narrow any differences and even possibly reach an amicable settlement...its not a weakness or an admittance and is part of the process leading to any trial.

 

It may be prudent to advise the the Claimants Solicitor of your change of address...as they may wish to contact you and make an offer or compromise.

 

With regards to disclosure you normally send a CPR 31.14 before you submit your defence....if your defence has put them to strict proof to disclose...normally the court will also direct disclosure within the Notice of Allocation.

 

Lastly no you cant ask how much they paid for the debt...that is irrelevant in defending a claim.

 

Regards

Thanks for your help!

 

So at what point would a defence be logged as I have gone with the embarrassed defence?

 

 

also as they have provided the original agreement?

 

 

notice of Allocation would it be of any use to still send a CPR 31.14?

 

Thanks again for your help.

Hoist documents attached...

Account application form

Recall of overdraft

Notice of assignment -

They have also sent a make up statement of account transaction but I have not added that to the attachment.

 

To add I have just realised they have the incorrect date of birth on my bank application.

 

Does this have any implications?

Happy New Year All,

 

Can anyone advise me on the next steps based on the paperwork I have received?

 

Do howard cohen need to produce a overdraft agreement?

Is the agreement invalid as they have an incorrect date of birth?

 

I have received a call from mediation but they have cancelled as they have been unable to contact Howard Cohen.

 

Any help would be appreciated.

Update

 

I have today received a general form of judgement or order.

 

it stats that action is stayed until 20th April during which time the parties should try and settle.

 

 

The claimant should then contact the court by 20th April oi notify the court in writing of the outcome.

Failure to comply or engage properly may result in the application of sanctions.

 

If a settlement is reached a consent order should be signed by all parties.

 

It also say because this Order has been made without considering representations from either party

- the parties can have the order set aside, varied or stayed.

 

What is my next move?

do I wait to hear from hoist? and if so do I enter negotiation?

 

Thanks foe any help in advance.

Subject to the courts directions...should mediation fail..sometimes the court stipulate that either party must inform the court that its failed...so check your directions carefully...each court words it differently.

Yep - thats what it states - we have until the 20th of April.

 

 

If no conclusion has been reached Hoist have to inform them in writing by 4pm on that day.

I have been through the other threads here but not sure what would be an acceptable resolution..

maybe 3% of the balance with the stipulation that they take it off of my record and cannot resell it?..

They are the claimant...let them conduct and negotiate any acceptable settlement figures...of course you can always say no:wink:
