    • I have just read the smaller print on their signs. It says that you can pay at the end of your parking session. given that you have ten minutes grace period the 35 seconds could easily have been taken up with walking back to your car, switching on the engine and then driving out. Even in my younger days when I used to regularly exceed speed limits, I doubt I could have done that in 35 seconds even when I  had a TR5.

    • 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.

it seems from what you have posted re what they said, they are either going to argue it from the def notice date (bmw v hart case for eg), or the default register date if the dn is over 6 years prior to the claim and def register date isn't. either can be argued against.

 

what free credit checks did you do, noddle, clearscore, experian?

 

Ive done all Three and none of them display the default, i also have a really good credit score but it is of course over 6 years now since the supposed default.

Not good to be honest because i dont really know what to put in it, other than "its statute barred"... because i dont have any proof or knowledge of what im doing.

 

im really worried im gonna do something that is going to jeopardise the whole thing..... im 100% know that it is statue barred.

 

Ive got a feeling im gonna get shafted here with this.

 

I could really do with help.. i thought the old SB letter to them would be the end of it.

Excellent thanks, and am i right to understand that i need to send a copy of this to both the court and the DCA?

 

You need to adapt it first to suit your particular claim...dont just copy and paste it..and post your intended draft here for checking.

 

Yes to the court and a copy to the claimants solicitor...not the claimant.

Between :

 

Lowell Claimant

And

Paul Laroy

Defendant

 

Witness Statement of Paul Laroy in response to the Claimants application for Summary Judgment CPR 24

 

I Paul Laroy of (address) WILL STATE AS FOLLOWS:

 

1.I am the defendant in this case and state the following in support of my defence dated (todays date) in response to a claim made by the claimant dated 29th September 2016

 

2. My defence

 

2.1 The Claimant's claim was issued on 29th September 2016

 

2.2.The date last payment made was the 30th September 2008

 

2.3. The claimant claims that they brought the debt on 11th May 2011.

 

2.4. A letter sent by the defendant on the 30th August 2016 and signed for by the claimant 31st August 2016 advising that the claim was statue barred was ignored.

 

2.5. In any event it is denied that I was ever served a Default Notice served under Section 87 (1) on 28th December 2010. No proof of this has been provided by the claimant, nor does it appear on the defendants credit file.

 

2.6.Due to the creditor not purchasing the debt until 11th May 2011, the default notice if produced would have been created by the original creditor and not the claimant making the claim.

 

2.7 Should proof of the default notice being issued be presented to the court the defendant advises that it was served over 2 years after the initial breach thus the cause of action delayed by 27 months and the Limitations period prolonged to 8 years and 3 months which in effect allows the creditor to stop time running and the creditor having effective control of when a limitation period begins or even starts to run.

 

2.8.Therefore the Defendant contends that the Claimant's claim so issued is a claim in contract and is statute barred on pursuant to the provisions of section 5 of the limitation action 1980. If, which is denied, the claimant contends that the Defendant is in breach of the alleged contract, in excess of 6 years have elapsed since the date on which any true cause of action for breach accrued for the benefit of the Claimant.

 

2.9.It is my contention statute - s5 limitation Act states..

 

'An action founded on simple contract shall not be brought after the expiration of six years from the date on which the cause of action accrued'.

 

The cause -(accrued) from the fisrt payment missed due date is the breach of agreement, and not the notice that the Claimant alludes to as such notice is procedural re the breach.A Claimant can not elongate the passage of time by relying on the later termination notice date,cause of action will run from from the breach of agreement not from when a creditor decides to issue a Default Notice.

 

2.10.The Claimant's claim to be entitled to payment of £1085.15 or any other sum, or relief of any kind is denied.

 

2.11. In the circumstances the court is invited to dismiss the Claimants claim on the grounds that its unfounded and they are fully aware that its statute barred pursuant to the provisions of section 5 of the limitation action 1980

 

I believe the facts stated in this Witness Statement are true

Dated.xxxxxxx

 

Any further advice would be appreciated.

  • 2 weeks later...

Another letter received today from the sols

 

"We refer to the above matter and your defence dated.....

 

As you are aware a hearing is due to take place......

 

Please find enclosed a statement of account which confirms that the last payment made to the account by you was was for the sum of £31.72 and this was paid 11th November 2008.

 

You have admitted that the default notice was to you on the 28th December 2010. Our client believes that whilst the default occurred on December 2009 the cause of action occurred once the default notice was served upon you namely on 30th December 2010. Therefore the limitation period commenced from 31 December 2010 and until December 2016

 

Our clients claim was issued on the 29 September 2016 and therefore this is within the six year limit ruling perios.

 

Our client believes that based on the matter of BMW financial services GB (LTD) V Hart (2012) EWCA Civ 1959 our clients claim is not based on an account that is subject to limitation pursuant to the limitations act 1980. WE have enclosed a copy of the judgement for you attention.

 

For the reasons stated above our client believes that it has reasonable prospect of success at the hearing, however our Client remains willing to reach an amicable agreement. We therefore invite you to put forward any realistic settlement proposals in order to settle this matter and avoid proceedings to the small claims hearing on.......

 

We look forward to hearing from you."

 

Any advice please?

In the case of BMW financial services GB (LTD) V Hart (2012) EWCA Civ 1959 it was an HP agreement with that term was specifically included in their terms and conditions...yours are different for a personal loan.Cause of action is from the first missed contractual payment.
