    • just to be clear here..... the DVLA do not send letters if a drivers licence address differs from any car's V5C that shows the same driver as it's registered keeper.
    • sorry she is a private individual, the cars are parking on her land. she can clamp the cars. only firms were outlawed from doing it bazza. thats what the victims of people dumping cars on their drives near airports did and they didn't not get prosecuted.    
    • The DVLA keeps two records of you. One as a driver and one for your car. If they differ you might find out in around a month when they will send you a reminder as well as to your other half for their car. If you receive nothing then you can be fairly sure that you were tailgating though wouldn't explain why they didn't pick up your car on one of drive past their cameras. However even if you do get a PCN later then your situation will not change. The current PCN does not comply with the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012 Schedule 4 which is the main law that covers private parking. It doesn't comply for two reasons. 1. Section 9 [2][a] states  (2)The notice must— (a)specify the vehicle, the relevant land on which it was parked and the period of parking to which the notice relates; The PCN states 47 minutes which are the arrival and departure times not the time you were actually parked. if you subtract the time you took to drive from the entrance. look for a parking place  park in it perhaps having to manoeuvre a couple of times to fit within the lines and unload the children reloading the children getting seat belts on  driving to the exit stopping for cars pedestrians on the way you may well find that the actual time you were parked was quite likely to be around ten minutes over the required time.  Motorists are allowed a MINIMUM of ten minutes Grace period [something that the rogues in the parking industry conveniently forget-the word minimum] . So it could be that you did not overstay. 2] Sectio9 [2][f]  (ii)the creditor does not know both the name of the driver and a current address for service for the driver, the creditor will (if all the applicable conditions under this Schedule are met) have the right to recover from the keeper so much of that amount as remains unpaid; Your PCN does not include the words in brackets and in 2a the Act included the word "must". Another fail. What those failures mean is that MET cannot transfer the liability to pay the charge from the driver to the keeper. Only the driver is now liable which is why we recommend our members not to appeal. It is so easy to reveal who was driving by saying "when I parked the car" than "when the driver parked the car".  As long as they don't know who was driving they have little chance of winning in court. This is partly because Courts do not accept that the driver and the keeper are the same person. And because anyone with a valid motor insurance policy is able to drive your cars. It is a shame that you are too far away to get photos of the car park signage. It is often poor and quite often the parking rogues lose in Court on their poor signage alone. I hope hat you can now relax and not panic about the PCN. You will receive many letters from Met, their unregulated debt collectors and sixth rate solicitors threatening you with ever higher amounts of money. The poor dears have never read the Act which states quite clearly that the maximum sum that can be charged is the amount on the signs. The Act has only been in force for 12 years so it may take a  few more years for the penny to drop.  You can safely ignore everything they send you unless or until they send you a Letter of Claim. Just come back to us if they do send one of those love letters to you and we will advise on a snotty letter to send them. In the meantime go on and enjoy your life. Continue reading other threads and if you do get any worrying letters let us know. 
    • Hopefully the ANPR cameras didn't pick up the two vehicles, but I don't think you're out of the woods just yet. MET's "work" consists of sending out hundreds of these invoices every week so yours might be a few days behind your partner's. There is also the matter of Royal Mail.  I once sold two second-hand books to someone on eBay.  Weirdly the cost of sending them separately was less than the cost of sending them in one parcel.  So to save a few bob I sent them seperately.  One turned up the next day.  One arrived after four days.  They were  sent from the same post office at the same time! But let's hope I'm being too pessimistic. Please update us of any developments.

    • 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.

Hello,

I'm after some help and advice.

 

Briefly

- Restons obtained a CCJ against me for a £1200 debt in March this year,

I was ordered to pay £25/month.

I have been making the payments as ordered and on time.

 

 

At the weekend I got a letter from the Land Registry saying Restons had been granted a Charging Order against me (dated 18th July 2016) and did i want to agree with it or dispute it.

 

The thing is I havent had anything in the post from the courts about this

and its come completely out of the blue - nothing from Restons warning about it either.

 

What do i do?

 

Thanks,

Gary

Many thanks Gary.

 

Well the rules were changed in October 2012 to enable the Judgment creditor to automatically obtain a charging /restriction against a judgment even if you are upto date with your payments.

From April 2016 the rules changed again the process of obtaining a charge.

 

Stage 1 is the Interim Order in which the creditor must send you a copy within 21 days of the order being made and stage 2 is the Final Order which you have 28 days to register an objection.

 

If you do not respond then the court will decide if it can be made without a hearing..if a hearing has already been made you have 7 days before that hearing date to register your objections.

(if you have any)

 

Regards

 

Andy

Thanks Andy,

So what does this mean in terms of the payments i make under the CCJ? If they get a Charging order can they get the payments increased?

 

No effect...the charge/restriction is merely to secure the debt against your property

From April 2016 the rules changed again the process of obtaining a charge. What is the main difference now Pls?

 

There are three key differences:-

 

An application for a charging order with respect to a judgment made in the County Court will need to be made to the County Court Money Claims Centre;

 

Where an application is made to the County Court Money Claims Centre it will be determined by a Court Officer; and

Where an application is to be determined by a Court Officer this will be an administrative action and a hearing will not be listed.

 

Under the previous rules, applications were sent to the County Court where the judgment was made, and determined at a hearing by a district judge before the claimant and whichever other party who saw fit to attend. Under the new regime, if the County Court Money Claims Centre receives an objection to the application, the matter will be transferred to the local court of the judgment debtor and the process will essentially revert back to the old regime, whereby the application will be determined at a hearing by a district judge.

 

Other changes:-

 

Slight amendments to the charging order application forms (N379 and N380);

responsibility to serve the application on the judgment debtor being transferred from the court to the judgment creditor; and a new requirement to serve the application not just on parties which have an interest in the property but also the spouse or civil partner of the judgment debtor – if known.

 

Hearings will still be listed to determine applications which are required to be issued outside the County Court Money Claims Centre, such as those referring to judgments made in the High Court.

i'll have a look when i get time Andy.

It seems to me that the DCA's are in a win win situation with these Charging Orders then, cost wise - they have to fork out £100 to apply for the CO but just add it onto your debt to them. So it doesnt really cost them anything.

Dosent seem right to me.

Sometimes a Charging Order is made when the creditor wants to try and get an Order for Sale. I just wondered why they would go for the CO if you were paying on time… TB

I'm thinking this must be an Interim CO… you don't get to defend those as the application is made and granted made without notice… TB

Andy - i defended against the original debt but the CCJ was issued anyway.

 

TB, as i said the letter from the Land Registry was the first i heard about the Charging Order, their letter says, 'the applicant claims to have the benefit of a charging order made by the court against your interest in this property and is entitled to protect that order by an entry in the title register of the affected property. The applicant has therefore applied for the following restriction to be entered in the register of your above title.....'

Does that sound like an interim CO? Can i get the court to disregard it or not take it any further as I am making payments on time?

 

It seems to make CCJs a waste of time if DCAs can just apply and get COs with the intention of making people sell their houses to pay off debts!

But how can the CO be made final without notification of a court hearing? The OP has said there was no notification about the CO, which is why I though it must be an Interim CO. TB

Yes… it sounds like an Interim CO… there will be notification of a court hearing for the final CO where you may be able to object. Do you have any equity in the property? TB

Yes TB there is equity in the property, tho i have no plans to sell up anytime soon, nor do i want to be forced to sell.

 

Does it sound like Restons may have jumped the gun a bit by informing the Land Registry about this before a Final CO? I noted that the Land Registry letter only says 'the applicant claims to have the benefit of a charging order' not that the applicant does have a charging order.

I'm also a bit confused why the Land Registry are writing to me before the court.

 

As the debt was only in my name, and the mortgage is in joint names (with the wife) I understand that will stop them forcing me to sell up anyway.
