    • 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.

Hi

 

I had the bailiffs this morning with a warrant of entry for TV licence fine for the cost of £610.

 

I didn't answer the door and they posted a letter and asked me to contact them.

 

He won't accept a payment plan and I haven't got the money or the goods to cover the debt.

 

It's from about a year ago I had just moved home I was pregnant and under the care of a physiologist for perinatal depression and anxiety.

 

I forgot they had even come my mind was else where.

They issued me a summons for cleavland court but that's about 60 miles away from my home so I just ignored it.

 

Fast forward to today and he is telling me to pay by 12 or he is entering my home.

 

I'm suffering PND and post natal anxiety and I am under the care of a health visitor and GP and on medication.

I fear this is going to tip me over the edge.

 

He wants my health visitor to ring him today and she isn't at work today so can't.

I've offered a payment plan but he won't accept it either.

 

 

Is there anything I can do?

Hi

I have managed to stall him until Thursday as my health visitor is visiting me then.

 

He has asked her to ring him.

 

I'm so worried about this I have nothing of value but my son does have an Xbox.

 

I haven't let him and don't plan to, but can he just come in with a warrant of entry?

For a fine (so a penalty from a criminal court, rather than merely a judgment from a civil court for a civil debt) : yes, they can force entry.

 

"Warrant of entry" usually refers to a warrant issued in relation to a civil matter (such as granting utilities companies the right to enter a premises), so does the paperwork actually say that particular phrase?

It was a removal notice but hand written along the top it has warrant of entry written on it.

 

 

The handwriting isn't the best on it so it took me a while to decipher it.

 

 

It also has hand written on it to be paid by 12 o clock to stop entry to property.

Van/bailiffs locksmith.

 

 

That's all I could decipher.

The rest was typed telling me had attended the property.

 

 

It also said they have been before but they have never called or hand posted anything.

The comments from the bailiff that he wants your healthcare worker to speak with him demonstrates to me that he must recognise that you have some degree of vulnerability. That in itself is a good sign.

 

Does your husband work? (I suspect not as otherwise the bailiff would have been expecting an immediate payment of some sort)?

 

Do either of you have a car parked outside of your home? If so, this could be at risk.

 

What payment proposal were you wanting to put forward for consideration?

I was wanting to pay around £50 a month.

 

 

My husband does work but doesn't earn very much as only works part time and the majority goes on rent.

 

 

The only income in my name is child tax credit and child benefit.

 

 

We do have a car but fortunately or unfortunately it is in the garage getting repairs.

It was repaired for its MOT last week but two days later broke down and no one seems to no what's wrong with it.

 

My HV is very supportive so I'm hoping she will help.

 

 

Also do you think it would be worth me getting a letter from my GP also as I have been quite a lot for my PND getting support.

It's time to bring Capita to book with the way they use salesmen and women masquerading as TV License Inspectors, a private company instigating criminal prosecutions. It has been found that the majority of the Capita Court Presenters who prosecute are not even legally trained:

 

http://tv-licensing.blogspot.co.uk/2016/08/tv-licensing-court-presenters-are-not.html

 

One should never say anything, sign anything proffered by these chancers, people stitch themselves up with these charlatans. by engaging instead of closing the door and saying nothing.

 

Hopefully the evidence of the HV, and yes something from the GP would be useful should persuade the bailiff to pass your case to Collectica's Welfare Team, assuming they have one like Marstons do. They should be able to sort a plan out that is affordable

We could do with some help from you.

Hi my HV called him this evening and told him how if any action went ahead it would be detrimental to my mental health.

 

 

He wants it in writing from her so she is emailing him first thing.

 

 

He is then going to pass it onto the welfare team at his office so they can look at my case.

 

Thank you for all your help.

 

 

Fingers crossed this helps

In the meantime work out how much you can reasonably afford as a payment plan then divide the amount owed by that figure and you get the period over which you would expect to pay the full amount. That way you are pre-armed when the Bailiff acknowledges he has to accept a payment agreement. Stick to it and don't let him say that's not enough, you can afford only what you say and anything else is setting you up to miss a payment and incur further costs.
