    • Thank you for posting up the results from the sar. The PCN is not compliant with the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012 Schedule 4. Under Section 9 [2][a] they are supposed to specify the parking time. the photographs show your car in motion both entering and leaving the car park thus not parking. If you have to do a Witness Statement later should they finally take you to Court you will have to continue to state that even though you stayed there for several hours in a small car park and the difference between the ANPR times and the actual parking period may only be a matter of a few minutes  nevertheless the CEL have failed to comply with the Act by failing to specify the parking period. However it looks as if your appeal revealed you were the driver the deficient PCN will not help you as the driver. I suspect that it may have been an appeal from the pub that meant that CEL offered you partly a way out  by allowing you to claim you had made an error in registering your vehicle reg. number . This enabled them to reduce the charge to £20 despite them acknowledging that you hadn't registered at all. We have not seen the signs in the car park yet so we do not what is said on them and all the signs say the same thing. It would be unusual for a pub to have  a Permit Holders Only sign which may discourage casual motorists from stopping there. But if that is the sign then as it prohibits any one who doesn't have a permit, then it cannot form a contract with motorists though it may depend on how the signs are worded.
    • Defence and Counterclaim Claim number XXX Claimant Civil Enforcement Limited Defendant XXXXXXXXXXXXX   How much of the claim do you dispute? I dispute the full amount claimed as shown on the claim form.   Do you dispute this claim because you have already paid it? No, for other reasons.   Defence 1. The Defendant is the recorded keeper of XXXXXXX  2. It is denied that the Defendant entered into a contract with the Claimant. 3. As held by the Upper Tax Tribunal in Vehicle Control Services Limited v HMRC [2012] UKUT 129 (TCC), any contract requires offer and acceptance. The Claimant was simply contracted by the landowner to provide car-park management services and is not capable of entering into a contract with the Defendant on its own account, as the car park is owned by and the terms of entry set by the landowner. Accordingly, it is denied that the Claimant has authority to bring this claim. 4. In any case it is denied that the Defendant broke the terms of a contract with the Claimant. 5. The Claimant is attempting double recovery by adding an additional sum not included in the original offer. 6. In a further abuse of the legal process the Claimant is claiming £50 legal representative's costs, even though they have no legal representative. 7. The Particulars of Claim is denied in its entirety. It is denied that the Claimant is entitled to the relief claimed or any relief at all.

    • 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 am disabled and have a vehicle for use by carers including my two daughters.

 

I received a PCN dated 06/07/2015 alleging the offence took place on 10/02/2015.

 

Furthermore, they had no photographic evidence showing the vehicle parked in a bay without a ticket,

instead relying on the entry/exit photographs.

 

My daughter who had the vehicle that day says that she got a ticket but she may have put an incorrect registration, albeit still a valid one.

 

I have ignored their letters, but today received a County Court Summons.

 

I intend to refute the claim because of the date I received the notice being 5 months after the `contravention` date,

no photographic evidence of the car being parked in a bay without a valid ticket and that the system allows for mistakes in entering registrations which are still valid, but not the correct one.

 

Any suggestions would be appreciated as I need to reply soon.

I don't suppose you are one of the messy types like me who doesn't clear out their door bins, and might still have that ticket? If you do, they have no case.

If they have no photo of you parked, are they relying on the ticket machine recording the registration number? If so, the number your daughter entered will bear *some* relation to your actual registration, and you could ask them to provide photographic evidence of the vehicle with THAT reg number entering/leaving the car park on those dates and times.

 

 

This is just simple rambling to suggest ideas. I'm not a legal professional.

Hi Oddfellow. Thanks for your prompt reply.

 

Yes, I have kept all the notices with the dates.

 

I also just noticed that the lying so and so`s at the solicitors have stated that the issue date was 10/02/2015,

i.e. the date of the so-called `contravention`.

 

So, not only have Excel messed up with the issue of the PCN, their solicitors have told a complete lie on their submission.

 

I appreciate your comments. I was pretty sure I was right, but just needed to hear it from somebody else.

 

I will send my rebuttal today.

 

Regards

 

Chris

can you slow down a minute please

before you reply or do anything further.

 

I take it this is BW legal?

 

and you've had recent letters from them but ignored

without sending the std denial letter here on BW threads?

 

they sent out 1000's of these letters and the claimforms if they get ignored

they are hoping for a default uncontested rubberstamped judgement.

 

you need to address this properly.

 

can you fill this out please

start at the beginning with the date of the event,

where it was,

the date you got the first notification and what it said,

what other correspondence you have received,

whether you still have those in your possession

and what you sent as a response if anything.

 

 

The wording of all of these is critical so dont send anything to anyone until we have had a chance of reading them and offering our thoughts on the matter.

 

 

the parking co have a lot of hoops to jump through to make this stick

and Excel usually screw things up big time so dont be panicked into doing anything yet

Thanks for your help.

 

I am disabled and have a car registered in my name for use by my carers, usually one of my two daughters.

I had recently bought a new car.

My daughter used it evidently to go to the local shopping centre.

This was on 10/02/2015.

 

 

She maintains she got a ticket but because she was unfamiliar with the registration, she might have entered the wrong letters or numbers. However, the ticket was produced without any problem and was displayed.

 

On the 9th July 2015 I received and standard PCN type form saying that the vehicle had been photographed entering and leaving the shopping centre on 10/02/2015.

 

 

They state that the reason for the contravention is parking without a valid ticket.

However, there is no photograph of the vehicle parked in a bay nor is there any photograph showing the vehicle without displaying a ticket. they are therefore relying on their entry/exit photographs ans presumably they cross check the registration with any on tickets issued.

 

I showed this to my daughter and she insists that she bought a ticket as she always has done whenever I have accompanied her, and displayed it on the dashboard of the vehicle. Of course she did not still have that ticket. After all, this PCN arrived FIVE months later on 06/07/2015.

 

I have had run ins with this company previously, having won a court case by submitting evidence to the Northampton County Court during another attempt by them to make unsubstantiated accusations.

 

 

Therefore, I ignored the PCN because I checked the laws regarding the issue of PCNs as ruled by the Protection of Freedoms Act (PoFA) 2012. It stated that they had to issue their PCN within 14 days of the alleged contravention. Clearly they have not done that. They sent a reminder on 14/08/2015 which I ignored.

 

I duly received their usual bogus solicitors letters and ignored those as well.

They did eventually threaten court action, but I felt that I had a watertight case, so I ignored their letters.

 

Now they have finally issued their court documents, correctly showing the date of the alleged contravention as 10/02/2015,

however, they state that they issued their PCN on that date, which is untrue.

They sent it on 06/07/2015 as stated on their PCN letter.

 

I have kept both their PCN letters and I have the court documents incorrectly stating that they issued their PCN on 10/02/2015.

 

As far as I can see, their case fails on a number of points.

Firstly, they sent their first PCN almost 5 months after the event; well beyond the 14 days threshold allowed under the Act.

 

Secondly, by so doing, my ability to appeal within 14 days was denied.

Whilst they have entry/exit photographs, that merely proves that the vehicle entered and exited the shopping centre.

It does not prove one way or the other that there was a ticket displayed as they have no photographic evidence.

 

As a result, it is entirely possible to purchase a ticket, mistakenly input the wrong registration, albeit a valid one, and receive a ticket.

 

This will be my basis for rebutting their claim. I am willing to listen to your views on this.

I have not responded as yet, but I have only a short window to do so.

 

Regards

 

Chris

you now have an extra fortnight to gather some evidence but the defence at the moment really only need to mention what you are going to say so things like

protocols of POFA not adhered to so no keeper liability created.

in any case no breach of the contractual conditions so no cause for action by the plaintiff (this will cover a multitude of points so no need to mention them all now, the plan is to get them to drop the matter when they realise that you arent going to roll over)

Well I acknowledged service online, so I have 28 days from the date of service evidently.

I would appreciate either you or Eric just taking a look at my proposed defence as laid out in comment#12 before I actually send it off.

You mentioned that it should be fairly vague at this point whilst at the same time letting them know that I feel I have a good defence against their claim.

Any assistance would be appreciated.
