    • @Man in the middle I've been searching the forum and you seem very knowledgeable. Would you mind giving a look at my query please? Thanks in advance!!
    • Thanks for this! I'm still not clear if I'm facing more than 6 points on my license though. Can you explain any further please? When I accept the 2nd speeding ticket, will they just charge me £100 and 3 points, or will they be more severe concenquences since that offense took place the following day of the 1st offense? Similarly, when I accept the 3rd offense, will they look at my record or just charge me with the £100 fine and 3 points?
    • Yes of course. That's why it says cc:: BIg Motoring World at the bottom. Don't imagine that this solves the issue. It doesn't. He not have to force the finance company and big motoring world to accept the rejection to give your money back. I suggest that you get the letter off tomorrow. And let us know what you hear but on Friday you should then send a threat to the finance company.   Have a look what I have said here about your options and read the whole thread as well.  
    • Been perusing the actual figures on the polls above wondering where the '16% claimed for deform comes from? I understand that there are 'weighted' end results based on secret calculations ...   Probably going to repeat this later, but remember that the ukip/brexit/reform/deform party has ALWAYS had poll speculation FAR better than their actual  performance at elections - by large margins. SO: The labor and Tory votes come largely from simply the people who say they will vote for them - sorted Lab 43% Tory 20%, with maybe another small 1-2% coming from the weightings of the 'not sures' Greens largely get what is declared from 'other' , although with another declared green bit from the 'pressed' question   So as the share of the voting displayed in 'other' granted to reform/deform is around 11%, where does the '16% too often being reported come from? Seems that reform has been granted as beneficiary of effectively ALL the don't knows and wont says, who when pressed didn't actually declare for someone else ... effectively adding 40%+ to their reported polling % - rather strange given their consistent under-performance compared to polling - or perhaps that is the cause of the higher rating eh?   Now I admit the possibility (probability?) of wingers being ashamed of declaring their support for the yuckey lemon end of the spectrum ... but surely  that should affect the 'Torys as well? Maybe the statisticians have simply weighted in that deform wingers are simply more likely to lie?   But - without 'weightings' and assumptions that faragits will get everything that isnt declared as a definite and unequivocal 'not that Piers Morgan' - reform is on around 11% it seems.   Add to that the history of polling a lot less than the hype - and the simple fact that faragit wingers seem to be spread across the country (presumably skulking in their moms spare room despite being 45+) and greens and lib dems seem to be community minded - I think two seats will be an epic result for farage. Hardly the opposition - far more raving wingnut party.   and importantly - Has farage got a home in clacton yet?

    • 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.

This happened at the back of the Exeter Arms in Derby, 2015.

 

I went round the back of this pub to park and unload my equipment in to the pub

but all the parking bays owned by the pub were taken, s

 

 

I did pull up near the rear entrance to the pub unload my equipment

and then take my car round the front to park on the street which by that time was free parking.

 

 

Some weeks later I received a letter from VCS with a fine for parking there.

I was going to ignore it but my wife talked me into sending an appeal letter, which of course was rejected.

 

 

Now I'm receiving lots of correspondence from CVS and now bwlegal.

 

 

Up to now I've had a couple of letters from bwlegal threatening to take me to court if I don't pay up,

even quoting a successful court case of ParkingEye Ltd v Beavis [2015] UKSC 67.

 

I guess what I'm asking is, should I continue to ignore these letters or is there something I could do?

one

its not a fine

read the letter carefully

they cannot use that word.

 

 

follow the below link

and read the numerous like threads.

BW legal can go nowhere with this

they are simply acting as a DCA

and a DCA ins NOT A BAILIFF

and has

NO SUCH LEGAL POWERS.

 

 

go read the above threads.

Thanks dx100uk. Think I just needed a little reassurance. Even if it does, by some miracle go to court I'd be quite happy to go and give my case.

How is it they can get away with acting like this. There should be laws against it. Just unbelievable!

BW legal are just guns for hire solicitors acting as debt collectors so can be ignored working in that capacity.

the Beavis case is largely irrelevant other than for setting levels of charges that are acceptable

without showing any calculations as to waht is actually a loss to the parking co.

 

Now, cast your mind back to when you appealed, what did you say at the time and did you say you were driving?

 

 

 

Also, can you provide pictures of the signage entering the pub car park

as that is what they will have to rely on to say you have broken a contract.

 

 

If I am correct by looking at google then the car park doesnt have any signs facing the road at all

and there is no defining markings on the site to show any separation of the land into different ownership.

A sign saying that the car park does not belong to baloon party ideas does not a contract make.

 

In short,

they dont stand a hope in hell in persuading a judge that anyone could tell whose land is whose

and what the conditions for parking at any particular spot is.

 

My advice is to wait and see if they send a "letter before action" or "letter before claim"

and then respond by saying that there is no signage or ground markings

where your vehicle was parked that indicates the division of the multiple ownership

or leases of the land in question

 

 

you put it to "strict proof" that the exact spot the vehicle was is managed by their client

and they have the authority to make claims in their own name

and that there is sufficient signage with the relevant planning permission

to show that anyone parking in that spot would be aware of a contract being offered

(as there is no signage at all that is visible when entering from the highway).

doesnt matter, just that if you didnt say you were the driver at the time it screws any chance of them suing you as they cant claim keeper liability under PoFA because of how they operate.

Keep to the suggested communication should they bother to write again, it creates a paper trail and lets them know that you arent going to roll over.

I now have a claim form regarding the above supposed parking fine. Any tips on how to fill in the claim form?

 

Hello there.

 

Is this an N1 from the court on behalf of BW Legal? If so, could you type up their POCs please, minus any identifying details.

 

HB

Illegitimi non carborundum

 

 

 

Link to post
Share on other sites

Yes, it states it is a N1SDT Claim Form.

 

POC is:

 

1.The Claimants claim is for the sum of £100.00 being monies due from the Defendant to the claimant

in respect of a parking charge notice (PCN) issued on 08/08/2015 (issue date) at 20:31:29

at Exeter Street & Exeter Place L.s.atwall L.s.atwall

The PCN relates to (my car) under registration (My Reg)

 

2.The terms of the PCN allowed the defendant 28 days from the issue date to pay the PCN

but the defendant failed to do so

Despite demand having been made the defendant has failed to settle their outstanding liability.

 

3.The claim also includes statutory interest pursuant to section 69 of the county courts act 1984

at a rate of 8% per annum a daily rate of 0.02 from 08/08/2015 to 25/05/2016 being an amount of £5.84.

The claimant also claims £54.00 contractual costs pursuant to PCN terms and conditions.

 

Really appreciate your help on this

Thank you for that. And thank you for posting on the existing thread so the guys have all the information.

 

One more question please? What is the issue date on the top right of the N1. That helps us to know the timescale of events.

 

HB

Issue date is 26th May 2016

 

I know, this went off the radar a bit but it seems you can complete this online if I've read it correctly. Sorry about that, my fault, just have had a lot on my plate lately.

acknowledge the service and tick box saying you intend to defend in full.

Once you have done this you then have another 14 days to send in a skeleton defence

( or you can enter something in the relevant box on the Acknowledgement)

 

I would just say that

"no contract was offered by VCS by way of signage where you parked

so there cannot be a breach to cause a claim to be made".

 

As the signage is inadequate and the site has multiple occupiers

you can then demand from BW under CPR 31.15 and 31.2

a copy of the contract with the landlord of the place you were parked

that assigns the right to enter into contracts with others

and make claims in their own name for breaches of such contracts.

 

also demand a copy of the planning permission granted by the council for their signs

under the Town and Country Planning Act.

 

 

get pictures of the signs there, specifically picture of you point of entry and where exactly you parked.

 

Check with the land regstry who owns the land where you vehicle was

as i bet there are more than 2 owners of the car park.

 

 

contact council and ask if VCS/Excel have planning consent for their signs at that site.

 

get their response in writing by email as if there is no PP then VCS are committing a criminal act

and you cant be party to a criminal contract.

Hi,

it seems that even though I went on the MCOL site and stated that I was going to defend

 

the next thing I know is that I get a letter through the post that the court has defaulted the outcome on BWLegals side

and I have to pay up in full.

 

It says I could set asside the case if I want to defend but will cost £255,

I believe.

 

Not sure what went wrong but it seems I have no choice now but to pay up.

Just can't believe it, gutted!

No, the date is correct.

 

I had been trying to log onto the MCOL site and couldn't.

 

It seemed that the logon details wouldn't work

but when I finally did, with the same logon details, as I say the outcome had defaulted.

 

Now I'm so confused and frustrated and worried, at he same time,

 

whether there is anything I can do about this.

 

I'm going to ring the court tomorrow to find out what had happened.

The MCOL website page looks like this when I've logged in:

MCOL.jpg

 

I've spoken to the court help desk

they say they cannot see any AOS but they did say if I sent some evidence that I had ie a screenshot as the above they would re-assess it.

 

I am a little worried as the BWLegal said I had 10 days to pay,

is that right,

can they do that,

is that legally binding?
