    • 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.

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.

    • 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 this is very weird.

I have just looked at my credit file

 

 

I have a CCJ from Asent solicitors on behalf of claremont private hospital.

I was given this information by the county court.

 

 

I advised I was aware of no debt,

they advised it was sent to my old address and that they knew I didn’t live there as bailiffs confirmed the house was derelict.

As I used BUPA when at this hospital they had full access to my current details through BUPA.

 

However;

I contacted the solicitor who filed for the CCJ to explain their error,

they cannot find any details for me or a CCJ against me filed by them???

 

 

I have asked for them to confirm this in writing, they have advised they will investigate further and get back to me.

 

What should I do?????

If I were you I would send them an email confirming that they have no knowledge of any judgement against you. Then call them and tell them that in the circumstances you will be applying for a set-aside and will they consent.

 

Follow the set-aside link for further information or alternatively you can find more information about obtaining a set-aside in our new Consumer Survival Handbook which is available on Amazon

do you know what the CCJ was for?

if the sols are confirming they know nowt

and they have searched the claim number you gave them..

 

 

..surely if they are the named solicitor

they should be removing it by consent and it shouldnt cost you a penny?

 

 

dx

please don't hit Quote...just type we know what we said earlier..

DCA's view debtors as suckers, marks and mugs

NO DCA has ANY legal powers whatsoever on ANY debt no matter what it's Type

and they

are NOT and can NEVER  be BAILIFFS. even if a debt has been to court..

If everyone stopped blindly paying DCA's Tomorrow, their industry would collapse overnight...

I have spoken to the county court and they have advised me that the solicitors can apply to have it set aside and would cost them only 100 pounds!! (which seems a bit of a swiz!! why would it cost me 250!)

 

 

im going to call the solicitors back at the end of the week and if they still cannot find my details;

I am going to demand they have it put aside or contact the ombudsman.

 

 

I'll let you know what happens.

Ok so they finally found the details,

the hospital had given them a totally different address which is my parents address,

 

I sent a email requesting put aside,

they have refused as they say they had responsibility to get my new address from bupa

even thought they knew I wasnt at the address,

 

they have managed to get my parents address for no known reason????

 

looks like my only choice ti to apply to have set aside, but what are my chances of winning???

In very simple terms

, if you have a reasonable prospect of defending the claim then your chances of setting the CCJ aside increase,

 

if the Judgment is set aside,

you'll most likely be asked to file a Defence to the claim.

 

Do you know anything about the original debt?

You said you were with BUPA (private health insurance?) at the time of the hopsital stay

- so were you aware that you might be charged or were BUPA supposed to cover any bills?

 

If you don't have a reasonable prospect of defending the claim,

the Court probably won't set judgement aside

(despite the clear issues with service of the claim)

 

- what would be the point of setting aside Judgment,

only for the case to go through the entire litigation process culminating in a trial,

only for Judgment to be entered against you again 6 months down the line.

I havent got a problem paying the money, I advised them if it is set aside I will make payment, I just dont want a CCJ on my credit file for 6 years.

 

I have not lived at my parents address for years and certainly not since I attended the hosiptal.

 

the CCJ was registered at my old address though.

 

I was very Ill, not diagnosed by this hospital, they refuse to give me prices so I was not aware it would exceed BUPA funding. I was given CCJ in Feb 16, which is when I finally had my operation to cure the problem.

 

Bupa were updated when I moved, as I was refered to this hospital via bupa, I presumed they would deal with them direct. I didnt go to the hospital of my own choice, so why would I think I need to update my deatils with them when I moved. I notified all relevant parties, such as bupa?

I am hoping someone can help with a defence,

 

 

I have unfortunately been ill whilst pregnant and unable to continue with the claim until now.

 

 

as I have been on sick pay couldn't afford the fee to have set aside

but really need this sorting as with a baby on the way we are looking to buy a property and this CCJ is going to cause issues.

 

I am now wanting to defend on the points I have raised above,

pay the outstanding amount immediately

and then I will make a claim against Claremont regarding the poor medical treatment.

You may be less likely to get a set aside now.

Any application for set aside needed to be made "promptly".

The claimant might say that you shouldn't be granted the set-aside for not acting promptly: less of an issue if they agree a set aside by consent .....

I have not had it set aside yet as I need to now put in a defence.

 

 

the CCJ was submitted in FEB 16,

I was not aware until OCT 16 that I even had a CCJ??

and it took their solicitors a while to even find the details of my CCJ.

 

 

As I have explained I am pregnant and have had severe medical issues,

obviously the health of my unborn child had to take priority.

 

 

I am hoping that any court would understand that???

Afraid not...all application to set a side should made promptly...the longer its left...the less chance of success....unless as stated you get the judgment claimant to agree by consent.

If it were me, i would keep it simple.

 

Firstly you are applying to set aside the judgement having only heard about the CCJ in October 2016, as the claimant served the claim to an address you don't reside at or have ever provided. In regard to the delay in applying for the set aside from October, the claimants Solicitor could not find details of the claim and that you have beem suffering from ill health, as well as being pregnant.

 

Secondly, you were never advised by the claimant of the cost of the service they were providing in advance and they failed to invoice you for their services. Therefore, you were not aware whether the cover held with BUPA covered the costs of services provided. You therefore believe the claimant has failed to undertake pre action protocols in actually sending an invoice to an address where the defendant was resident.

 

If you want help, you need to be a bit more understanding that people who contribute to this site volunteer their time to the site trying to help people. I think you need to sit down and write down a longer explanation of the exact circumstances in a chronological order. Then add the details to the thread and ask for help. More detail is needed about the contract with the Hospital and to what extent BUPA were involved. Did BUPA have the information about actual costs to send to you, but never did ?

We could do with some help from you.
