    • How does one obtain the permit? The permit team number is only open between the hours of 9am to 3pm Mon - Fri. It says on the website, To obtain an additional 2 hours, the driver must pay a tariff of £3.00 + booking fees in person at our Security Hut, is that how you get the permit also, from the security hut? What a rigmaroll that would be but maybe just another step to take to try and catch people out?
    • Anotheruser0000 bear in mind that not all Judges are equally versed in the PoFA regulations. Fortunately now most of them are but sometimes a Judge from a higher Court sits in who is well experienced  in Law but not PoFA. and so they sometimes go "offkey" because their knowledge can raise a different set of arguments and solutions. It does seem particularly unfair  when the decision is so  bad . it can also be that in some situations the motorist being a lay person is not sufficiently know ledgeable to be able to counter a Judge's decisions in a way that a barrister could.
    • The argument about the date of receipt is now dead because the PCN  does not comply with the wording  of the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012 Schedule 4.  First reason Section 9 [2] [e]  "state that the creditor does not know both the name of the driver and a current address for service for the driver and invite the keeper—(i)to pay the unpaid parking charges;" Second Reason Section 9 [2][a] "specify the vehicle, the relevant land on which it was parked and the period of parking to which the notice relates;" All your PCN does is mark the time you entered and left the car park. It does not include all the myriad things you do in between-driving into the car park, looking for a parking space-perhaps a disabled space or  parent and Child place@ getting the children or disabled person out of the car then going shopping. Coming back; loading the car with shopping [, getting the children or disabled into the car, taking the trolley back to the store; driving to the exit perhaps stopping to let vehicles/pedestrians cross in front of you etc. so subtracting the driving times from before and after parking can make quite a difference from their time to the actual period parking time. So the upshot is now that only the driver is responsible for paying the PCN and the keeper is not liable at all even if the name of the driver is never known by Nexus so well done for not appealing. You obviously want to keep it that way to make it very difficult for them to win in Court if it ever goes that far. Although your question is now moot since  the same objective has been achieved by the non compliant PCN [ie no keeper liability] just  about the only way to dispute the timing of the PCN would be if one kept the envelope and there was a discernible date stamp on it that did not match the date on the PCN. There is a new Act coming out [and it cannot come quickly enough ] and one of the things required is that parking companies will have to prove the date of sending out their PCNs. We are not the only ones who sometimes doubt the veracity of their dates particularly as the later it is sent [unlawfully] the shorter the period motorists have to benefit [?] from the reduced payment. I haven't seen it on your posts but do you know how long you are permitted to park for free?
    • I was so annoyed and frustrated about the fact this case was lost it's been floating around my head all night. Dave962, are you sure that's what the Judge said? .... It doesn't make sense. Did the judge in fact dismiss the case on the grounds that the defendant did not make an appeal within 28 days? Effectively telling the PPC about the error entering the registration number and providing proof of payment at that time? To me, that's an important point.

    • 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 should but I forget, and being stressed, and at my wits end it is difficult to focus on what I know, or should know. I did read some of the older thread but must have skipped the bit about right of entry. Thanks for the reminder to read stuff - I will take it in the spirit it's meant

DX is correct, no right of entry for Council tax, or a Council PCN Is that parking Ticket Council, police or a Private parking Contractor like Parking Eye?

 

I would still hide that car if possible. they might clamp it for spite to put pressure on to get say a payday loan (naughty) to pay them.

We could do with some help from you.

It would be certainly worth you contacting your local Councillor(s) and ask they intervene on your behalf

- best initial contact is by phone and my view is they are contactable 7 days per week up until about 9pm.

 

This is the best advice on here! In fact contact local councillor plus head of council. Do a quick Google search. Phone and email them, both of them!

 

They fixed it for me in 25 minutes. Even if it doesn't work , you have nothing to lose.

I have requested help from Canterbury Councillors and their CEO but I now need to send a follow up email as Rundles have written to me again.

 

I wrote to Rundles asking to set up the arrangement again but they emailed me saying no and that only full payment would be acceptable.

 

The enforcement agent has written today demanding full payment of approx £3k within 7 days or he will instigate:

 

- bankruptcy

- charging order

- committal to prison

 

I think he's making this personal because I muttered 'fat bastard' after being goaded for about 10 mins on the doorstep.

I just cannot believe this is happening.

I don't know who to turn to.

I will try step change but I reckon they won't help because I have no spare cash hardly, and CAB won't help because they just don't.

 

I am currently writing again to the council but think I could be wasting my time.

No items have been listed and no bailiff has been in my home.

Disgruntled, yes you are correct, I made it personal but isn't that what the bailiffs want, why they behave the way they do. I've had bailiffs on the doorstep before and don't usually get so upset, but Rundles seem to be a special breed.

 

I need to clarify - Rundles have said they will consider recommending the above actions to their client. Rundles have replied to my email to say they won't reinstate the payment plan.

Seems to me that the Bailiff is clutching at straws hoping to frighten you with his "superior" knowledge when in reality you are the one who holds the upper hand. There is not much else he can do other than hand it back to the Council - if he doesn't want to reinstate the payment plan or if he hands the case back he isn't going to get paid. For yourself I would suggest you keep all the payments you would have made while this is going on so at some stage a lump sum can be made which then makes it a little harder for the Council to go for other Enforcement action.

 

If they do go for Bankruptcy - if you own nothing they will get nothing

If they go for a Charging Order - only if you own your own place and you rent

Committal to Prison - only if you wilfullly refuse to pay which you are not

 

Ask him to do his worst.

But the Council can tell them to accept it.

.

 

Phone the councillors on their mobile, phone the elected head of council (not the CEO) on their mobile, leave them a voicemail, send another email. For example the one below is slightly different but you can adapt it. This worked for me.

 

 

Dear X,

 

I wonder if you can help, hopefully I am contacting the correct person.

 

Put simply, we got behind on the Council Tax because of my wife's illness and her inability to work. She's now back working and I'm paying off an attachment of earnings at a rate of 17% of my Net Salary. I completely understand the need to pay back this sum, however it seems like another AOE will be placed on my salary for another year's bill at the same time. I'm quite happy to pay this after the current AOE is ended, but no one seems to be listening. Put simply my basic salary is only £X after tax, my rent £X. If they add this one at the same time, we will lose our home. Hopefully you can prevent this.

 

I can supply you with all details necessary if need be,

 

Kind Regards

I will call the councillors tomorrow - it's a husband and wife team for the area where the flat was located. So far I've emailed both of them with an essay of what happened from start to finish and also the chief exec. I've now emailed the Head of Council. Is it ok to call them then? How will i be sure it goes to voicemail? I would freeze if any of them picked up the phone.

 

I will use your message but thinking about attachment of benefits - I would starve if they took any more off me.

 

thanks for everyone's replies which have made me feel a bit better.

I agree with the poster above, that everything should be in an email.

 

However, you should also be speaking with / leaving a voicemail for the councillors / head of council.

 

I got through on the first attempt to the head of my council on his mobile, who was actually incredibly sympathetic, I asked him to read the email I had sent.

 

It's worth noting that I was begging the council's revenue department to take of the second AOE for a week, and explaining that I wouldn't be able to make the rent.

 

I was told that once it was on there was nothing they could do.

 

After speaking to the Head of council, it was somehow gone 25 minutes later. Do not under estimate the power these people have!

 

The councillors generally work for the good of society.

 

They know that making someone homeless, or starving is only going to cost much more in the long run either to the local authority or to the NHS and they also want your vote of course!

We could do with some help from you.

Have you tried a DRO = Debt relief order. Im sure you would qualify. Council tax debt can be included in this. This would certainly help your plight.
