    • Well we can't predict what the judge will believe. PE will say that they responded in the deadline and you will say they don't. Nobody can tell what a random DJ will decide. However if you go for an OOC settlement you should still be able to get some money
    • What do you guys think the chances are for her?   She followed the law, they didnt, then they engage in deception, would the judge take kindly to being lied to by these clowns? If we have a case then we should proceed and not allow these blatant dishonest cheaters to succeed 
    • I have looked at the car park and it is quite clearly marked that it is  pay to park  and advising that there are cameras installed so kind of difficult to dispute that. On the other hand it doesn't appear to state at the entrance what the charge is for breaching their rules. However they do have a load of writing in the two notices under the entrance sign which it would help if you could photograph legible copies of them. Also legible photos of the signs inside the car park as well as legible photos of the payment signs. I say legible because the wording of their signs is very important as to whether they have formed a contract with motorists. For example the entrance sign itself doe not offer a contract because it states the T&Cs are inside the car park. But the the two signs below may change that situation which is why we would like to see them. I have looked at their Notice to Keeper which is pretty close to what it should say apart from one item. Under the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012 Schedule 4 Section 9 [2]a] the PCN should specify the period of parking. It doesn't. It does show the ANPR times but that includes driving from the entrance to the parking spot and then from the parking place to the exit. I know that this is a small car park but the Act is quite clear that the parking period must be specified. That failure means that the keeper is no longer responsible for the charge, only the driver is now liable to pay. Should this ever go to Court , Judges do not accept that the driver and the keeper are the same person so ECP will have their work cut out deciding who was driving. As long as they do not know, it will be difficult for them to win in Court which is one reason why we advise not to appeal since the appeal can lead to them finding out at times that the driver  and the keeper were the same person. You will get loads of threats from ECP and their sixth rate debt collectors and solicitors. They will also keep quoting ever higher amounts owed. Do not worry, the maximum. they can charge is the amount on the sign. Anything over that is unlawful. You can safely ignore the drivel from the Drips but come back to us should you receive a Letter of Claim. That will be the Snotty letter time.

    • 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 Stacey

 

Im just getting all my papers ready to go to the court tomorrow to lodge claim for about £4K, what papers did you take? I have copy of letter asking for statements, my hightlighted statements (didnt include the pages with no charges), the spreadsheet of charges, the 14 day letter asking for my money and the civil bill application form, is that all I need? Oh and the £140.00

Hi Diane

 

I went through the small claims court although im not sure if you can go through small claims as yours is for 4k. But all that your taking with you sounds about right. I would talk to one of the administrators on here and ask for some advice. They may advise you to bring something elsse with you to court.

 

Hope this helps dont know what else to advise at the mo. I may have to go to court myself if they dont pay up. So wish me all the best.

Hi Stacey

 

Think im in for the long haul - i went to lisburn and belfast court on friday and was told by both that i need a solicitor to act on my behalf. So now im gonna have to try and find someone. Have you heard tell of anyone else needing a solicitor???:mad:

i asked that question and they told me i could only lodge 1 claim - the girl in the court said she hadnt heard about anyone taking the banks for more than £2K which i think is a load of cobblers. I would say i just need to have representation from a solicitor just to stamp my papers, as everyone is saying here that the banks are settling before the court dates, just means i may haveto pay a solicitor now too!!:mad:

From what I have been told so far that is cobblers but you have to wait for each claim to go through before commencing the next and that might be a problem in the fact that they seem to be so drawn out. I know its a pain about the solicitor but if it comes to it you can always add on the cost to your bank!!!

i should to that, but i phoned ballymena court today and they said i could get my papers stamped there - i just had a wasted day on friday by the looks of things!!! They said i would only need a solicitor if the ulster bank didnt cough up and i had to go to court - hopefully that wont happen though!!! Thanks for the advise though ;)

Hi diane

 

Do you know there are companies out there that will take on the claim for you and they maybe better paid than a sloicitor. I think they charge about 10% so it is a lot of money to pay anyone else reading may have some advice as to weather this is a good idea.

 

Hope this helps:)

Hi John , where does that leave us poor sods if the courts don't allow us to proceed through small claims with amounts over £2000 and won't let us split the claim(do you ever get the feeling the poor old Irish get it in the neck everytime). Surely going any other way would greatly penalise us all financially as we would require solicitors etc and not every solicitor will work on a share out at the end. If the case was lost, God forbid, we could all be liable for huge legal fees on top of everything else.

hi hep

im afraid thats the way it is here nothing seems to favour the individual.

the only route is a civil bill, you wont need a solicitor to serve it but if the bank dont enter a defence the you need a solicitor to file for your default victory. you would be liable for the banks costs if you were to lose your case but that hasnt happened to anyone i know of.

regards john.

Hi diane i would try to go through one of the compaines that take the case on for you,they take a share of the money if you win and if you lose there is no fee (no win no fee) its worth it cause that way you have nothing to loss.

 

You should go in and do a google search on the companies and see which one is the lowest fee and maximise your return on YOUR money. There is one called i think bellray.com however just put claim bank charges back in google and you ll get all the compaines up. There are a few. :-)

hi diane

yes you have everything covered there. it will cost you£140 to lodge your civil bill. you then need to send it by next day special delivery to the bank. i photocopied mine and sent them a copy and kept the original im not sure if it matters but you know how banks have a habit of losing things. they have 21 days from the date they recieve it to acknowledge.

regards john.
