    • I'm not sure on the best option here, I'm happy to go with Tomlin, however I can afford to pay this one in full if needed and wonder whether I should be trying to get a reduced amount, perhaps in the court hallway before going in? that would require submitting a WS of some sort. What I 'like' (strong word) about TO in this instance, is that it allows me to keep my savings to hand for further accounts needing attention in the near future and I would hope gives me some control over the pcm amount.. I've read a number of TO threads now (fell to sleep at the keyboard last night ) but have a few questions please: - Do I specify the payment arrangement in a TO or the claimant? I'm thinking 20% lump upfront plus 96 months of circa 60 squid. - Who decides repayment amounts if CCJ is granted? if the judge, then do I submit I&E at any point? Given the amount of total debt across all my claims, I need to ensure anything I commit to is future proofed. I wouldn't want all my disposable income sent to this one debt, only to have another one in a month or two.

    • Few tweaks as the run order was completely messed up and the main point of your defence (reconstituted agreement) pushed to the bottom of the statement.   I, XXXXXX, being the Defendant in this case will state as follows; I make this Witness Statement in support of my defence in this claim and further to my set aside application dated 1 November 2022. 1.The claimants witness statement confirms that it mostly relies on hearsay evidence as confirmed by the drafts in person in the opening paragraph. It is my understanding they must serve notice to any hearsay evidence pursuant to CPR 33.2(1)(B) (notice of intention to rely on hearsay evidence) and Section 2 (1) (A) of the Civil Evidence Act. 2.  I understand that the claimant is an Assignee, a buyer of defunct or bad debts, which are bought on mass portfolios at a much reduced cost to the amount claimed and which the original creditors have already wrote off as a capital loss and claimed against taxable income as confirmed in the claimants witness statement exhibit by way of the Deed of Assignment. 3. As an assignee or creditor as defined in section 189 of the CCA this applies to this new requirement on assignment of rights.  This means that when an assignee purchases debts (or otherwise acquires rights under a credit agreement) it also acquires certain obligations to the borrower including the duty to comply with CCA requirements (such as the rules on statements and notices and other post-contractual information).  The assignee becomes the creditor under the agreement. This ensures that essential consumer protections under the CCA cannot be circumvented by assigning the debt to a third party. 4.  I became aware of original Judgement following a routine credit check on or around 14th September 2020. 5. The alleged letter of claim dated 7 January 2020 was served to a previous address which I moved out of in 2018, no effort was made to ascertain my correct address.  I have attached a copy of my tenancy agreement which is marked ‘Appendix 1’ and shows I was residing at a difference address as of 11 December 2018 and was therefore not at the service address at the time the proceedings were served.  I have also attached an email from my solicitors to the Claimants solicitors dated 14 July 2022 which was sent to them requesting that they disclose the trace of evidence they utilised prior to issuing the proceedings against me.  This is marked ‘Appendix 2’. The claimants solicitors did not provide me with these documents. 6. Under The Pre-Action Protocol for Debt Claims 2017 a Debt Buyer must undertake all reasonable enquiries to ensure the correct address of a debtor, this can be as simple as a credit file search. The Claimant failed to carry out such basic checks. Subsequently all letters prior to and including ,The Pre action Protocol letter of claim dated 7 January 2020 and the claim form dated 14th February 2020 were all served to a previous address which I moved out of in 2018. 7. Upon the discovery of the Judgement debt, I made immediate contact with the Court and the Claimant Solicitors, putting them on notice that I was making investigations in relation to the Judgement debt as it was not familiar to me.  I asked them to provide me with a copy of the original loan agreement but this was not provided to me.   The correspondence to the Claimant Solicitor's is attached and marked ‘Appendix 3’ 8. On (insert date) I successfully made application to set a side the judgment. The claim proceeded to allocation, 9. The claimant failed to comply with the additional directions ordered by District Judge Davis on the 2 February 2024 'The Claim shall be automatically struck out at 4pm on 3 April 2024 unless the Claimant delivers to the Court and to the Defendant the following documents.' None of these documents were received by the court nor the defendant by that date. (insert date you did receive the documents) I then sent a Data Subject Access Request to Barclays but no agreement was provided. Details the timeline of communication between myself and Barclays are attached and marked ‘Appendix 4’and the copies of correspondence between myself and Barclays are attached and marked ‘Appendix 5’. Remove irrelevant 10.The claimant relies upon and has exhibited a reconstituted version of the alleged agreement. It is again denied that I have ever entered into an agreement with Barclaycard on or around 2000.  It is admitted that I did hold other credit agreements with other creditors and as such should this be a debt that was assigned to Barclaycard from another brand therefore the reconstituted agreement disclosed is invalid being pre April 2007 and not legally enforceable pursuant to HHJ Judge Waksman in Carey v HSBC 2009 EWHC3417.  Details of this are attached and marked ‘Appendix 6’. The original credit agreement must be provided along with any reconstituted version on a modified credit agreement and must contain the names and address of debtor and creditor, agreement number and cancelation clause. 11. Therefore the claimant is put to strict proof to disclose a true executed legible agreement on which its claim relies upon and not mislead the court. 12. It is denied I have ever received a default Notice pursuant to sec 87(1) CCA1974.The claimant is put to strict proof to evidence from the original creditors internal document software the trigger of said notice.  13.   As per CPR 1.4(2)(a) the court encourages parties to cooperate with each other in the conduct of proceedings in order to try and save time and costs for the parties and to also save the time and resources of the court however, despite vast attempts at mediation the claimants have been most unreasonable and have remained unwilling to mediate. 14. Until such time the claimant can comply and disclose a true executed copy of the original assigned agreement they refer to within the particulars of this claim they are not entitled while the default continues, to enforce the agreement pursuant to section 78.6 (a) of the Credit Consumer Act 1974. I believe that the facts stated in this Witness Statement are true.  I understand that proceedings for contempt of court may be brought against anyone who makes, or causes to be made, a false statement in a document verified by a statement of truth without an honest belief in its truth.

    • 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.

What's the legal position with having to declare who was driving at the time a PCN was attached to my car?

 

The PCN was due to a ticket blowing upside down when closing the door. The correct amount was paid and I have the ticket that was purchased at the time.

 

So far I have received a couple of letters threatening action and the fine has increased on both occasions. I have sent the standard letter requesting information about who the landowner is etc, and I have not declared who the driver is.

 

Apologies if this is obvious but I'm relatively new to this.

Was hoping not to declare the name of the company just in case they are monitoring the site. It's an IPC company using the IAS appeal service.

 

 

  1. The driver paid for parking £3 to the end of the day. Left on the dashboard in full view, but the wind blew it upside down as the door was closed.
  2. A PCN was left on the car - £100 charge but £50 if I paid within 14 days.
  3. About 3 weeks later I wrote a standard letter back to the company highlighting that I was not ignoring their charge for a purported parking infraction but I needed more info before I could make an informed decision. 8 standard questions as suggested on this site. Suggested using POPLA or similar independent ADR service. Highlighted that they shouldn't send debt collection letters and not to add any costs or surcharges. Written as the registered keeper. No reply to this letter.
  4. About 2 weeks later I received another letter highlighting charge was £100. Two options: Pay or provide the name and address of the driver. I was on holiday whilst this letter arrived.
  5. About 2 weeks later I sent another copy of the same letter and highlighted that they hadn't responded with the requested information. Sent Royal Mail "Signed For" service. No reply to this letter.
  6. The next day I received another letter highlighting the charge had increased to £125. Obviously crossed in the post with my response.
  7. About a week later I sent a reply highlighting that they had still not responded to my request. This time I claimed they were wasting my time and I would start charging them every time I had to write a letter to them. So this letter included an admin charge of £100. I kept this one clear: I am the registered keeper of the vehicle and I am not liable for any parking charges. Please do not write to me again. Sent Royal Mail "Signed For" service. No reply to this letter.
  8. Sharpish response rejecting invalid invoice.
  9. Received a debt collection notice from ZZPS. Charge now £185.

What should I do now?

You have no obligation to tell a private parking company who was driving a car you are the registered keeper of.

 

I'm not relatively new to this and I don't know what the ' standard letter ' is you mention? Please enlightened.

Thinking about it I may have got it off another site. Anyway this is the primary content ignoring address details, PCN number and company name.

I am not ignoring your charge for a purported parking infraction. As this is purely a charge (not a statutory penalty) issued under a purported contract and the driver has not been identified, I require the following information so that I can make an informed decision:

 

1. Who is the party that contracted with your company for the provision of their services? I require their contact details.

2. What is the full legal identity of the landowner?

3. As you are not the landowner please provide a contemporaneous and unredacted copy of your contract with the landholder that demonstrate that you have their authority to both issue parking charges and litigate in your own name.

4. Is your charge based on damages for breach of contract? Answer yes or no.

5. If the charge is based on damages for breach of contract, please provide your justification of this sum.

6. Is your charge based on a contractually agreed sum for the provision of parking? Answer yes or no.

7. If the charge is based on a contractually agreed sum for the provision of parking, please provide a valid VAT invoice for this 'service'.

8. Please provide a copy of the signs that purportedly were on site which you contend formed a contract with the driver on that occasion.

 

If you believe you have a cause of action, send a Letter before Claim within the next 21 days and I will take advice and will respond.

 

In my opinion, there is a better alternative than legal proceedings, namely that we utilise the services of a completely independent ADR service suited to parking charges. This does not include the IAS appeal service - which lacks any transparency and possibly any independence from the IPC - unlike the alternative offered by the British Parking Association, POPLA, which is transparent and has been shown to be independent.

 

Do not send debt collector letters and do not add any costs or surcharges. I will not respond to those, so to involve another firm would be a failure to mitigate your alleged loss. In any case, the addition of any debt collector 'costs' is not my liability because the POFA 2012 can only potentially hold a registered keeper liable if certain provisions have been met and even then, the 'amount of the parking charge' is the only amount pursuable.

They are hoping you are scared into paying them so that is why the amount keeps going up,

they dont have a legal right to a penny so they work on the theory that getting hung for a sheep

is the same as being hung for a lamb.

 

Now, in the real world of parking in council car parks and on public highways

proof of paying the prescribed fee usually gets the PCN cancelled as you can show that the prescribed fee was paid

and any action would then be "de minimis".

 

However, a PENALTY charge is set to encourage you to abide by the rules

so the council can still enforce the penalty charge.

 

Private land parking charges are designed differently and provide the only source of income for many parking co's

so a court will not often side with a company that decides to go all out

to make money when the main contractual obligation of paying the prescribed fee to enjoy the facility is adhered to.

 

All you wrote to them about contractual charges and damages for breaches is largely redundant

as far as schedule of losses go, a flat fee that is not "unconscionable" is OK

but you are right about whether it is a charge for breaching a contractual term

or the sum due under a contract and the wording on the signage makes the difference

there so tell us what the signs say and we can advise as to whether this is a road worth travelling.

 

The content and wording of the NTK is often not compliant with the requirements of the PoFA to create a keeper liability so knowing what that said will be a boon to us.

The original NTK would be compliant IF the signage at the site makes it perfectly clear that the incorrect displaying of the receipt for the parking fee is an absolute must as the supposed breach of the parking conditions is quoting 2 different things and hoping they will be read as being the same.

So, picture of signage ( and parking meter wording if different-that often undoes a claim)

where's that second blue sign?

 

 

they should not be using the words

only council/police can use those words.

The second blue sign is a separate sign on the edge of the car park. I guess it's placed there to make sure people see it as they walk out of the car park.

The first sign clearly states that it is the driver liable for the parking charge! What crayons are they giving the toddler group to make these signs??

 

I don't see how the keeper can have any liability, when they have so blatantly shot themselves in the foot with their pre school sign?

Who ever heard of someone getting a job at the Jobcentre? The unemployed are sent there as penance for their sins, not to help them find work!

So are you suggesting that as long as I stick to not declaring who the driver is, that I will be able to avoid the penalty?

 

 

I thought there was some recent guidelines or legal change that allows parking companies to chase the registered keeper if they don't declare who the driver was at the time the car was parked?

The law on keeper liability is clear and the Beavis decision did not change that one jot.

The parking co's like to tell people that after Beavis they can do what they want

but that is not true, never as been and never will be.

 

dont forget, dca's can do nothing so ignore them completely.

The parking co is wasting their money but if you start to respond to a dca they thnk you are a waverer

and will never leave you alone.

 

 

Some solicitors act as dca's and they can be ignored when working in that capacity.

Pet rentathreats are Gladstones (owners of the IPC and IAS), Miah, Wright Hassal, BW legal.

 

 

only ever respond to a lba from any of these clowns and then just to let them know you arent paying and court will cost them.

 

 

They lose their clients money whne they get a defended claim

but most people just buckle when they get the threatogram so they arent bothered that much.

Ha ha ha, IGNORE!!

 

I'd like to see what credit agreement you signed that says they can add charges onto an already unenforceable invoice!

 

What fools.

 

For further reassurance, read Ericsbrothers post again.
