    • 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. Signed I am the Defendant - I believe that the facts stated in this form are true XXXXXXXXXXX 01/05/2024   Defendant's date of birth XXXXXXXXXX   Address to which notices about this claim can be sent to you

    • 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.

thanks dx.

I spent a couple of hours reading last night, most of the threads i looked at sadly hadn't updated as to whether or not they had been successful at court :-(

 

I spoke to hubby about it this morning and he asked what the chances are of success,

that's the million dollar Q though isn't it?

 

I know there are absolutely NO guarantees but

 

1) what would you guys do if you were in our position?

I can scrape together the court costs if we decide that's the route to go down but

 

2) if we lose what are the implications?

(are we liable for any further costs?)

 

Would you be able to read my LBA before i send it please? I can either pm or post on here (omitting personal info of course). I have tweaked it slightly to fit our case if thats ok - hence me asking for confirmation....

 

Sorry to be a pain x

Im just going through the info they have sent (as a result of the SAR) and there are no copies of the letters we have sent,

 

the info is more like computer generated lists - not what i expected.

 

Should I have everything they/we have sent to each other?

Ok thanks for confirming.

 

I may be confused as when i did the same with WFS a few years back we had absolutely every piece of communication between us!

 

As the account was opened in December 2008 do you think its worth sending a CCA request or won't that be any use?

 

Hubby thinks its worth pursuing through the court if need be,

the balance is made of a majority of penalty charges which we have queried on more than one occasion without response. How can they think thats Ok? (i know im trying to convince myself!)

 

Sorry to keep adding guys, I know you're probably sick of me by now!

 

an email from ClearScore arrived today :-(

hubby credit score has gone down 66 points since last month with notes saying

'your Studio express gifts' account has been seriously in arrears'...

Hi all,

 

Quick update - despairing as i really dont know what to do next.

 

 

On Saturday we received a letter from Moorcroft stating that they now own the account...

so the LBA etc i sent to Studio will probably not be looked at now.

 

 

Where on earth do i start now?

 

Thank you

no Moorcroft don't buy debts,

read the letter properly it does NOT say they have purchased the debt

who is their stated client?

 

 

and anyway, reclaims are always against the OC as they levied the charges.

IMO I'd be ignoring moorcrap, less for a simple letter along the lines of,

 

"Dear Bill & Ben,

Thank you for your letter dated dd/mm/yyyy the contents of which are noted.

If you have nothing worthy to add, then it will be in your best interests NOT to get involved in this extremely tedious and convoluted matter,

I have no desire to communicate with you, this is my final correspondence to you regarding this matter, pass this back to the original creditor or be party to any legal action I choose to bring against your client.

 

Regards.

Who ever heard of someone getting a job at the Jobcentre? The unemployed are sent there as penance for their sins, not to help them find work!

Bazooka Boo that really made me giggle! (much needed at the moment! - in other matters my husbands car is about to be condemned by dekra - a Nissan Navara which has chassis corosion and we now stand to lose alot of money on...if we didn't have bad luck we'd have No luck at all, we still owe over £6k for it)

 

 

if we could get some of the penalty charges back it would REALLY help our situation.

..no acknowledgement from Studio to the LBA so far

but that may be due to the fact that they have passed the account to Moorcroft

- prefer Moorcrap!! lol

 

I will pop a letter out to them as above tomorrow and see what happens.

 

Thank you Bazooka :-)

Hi guys,

As expected i have had no response to my LBA, only thing i have heard is from Moorcroft by letter and text messages!

 

I know my next step is to start the court process

- would someone be able to help me complete the online forms please?

 

I dont have a clue where to start and paying over £400 in court fees I need the best chance possible at swinging this my way.

 

Thank you

Hello,

Apologies for asking so many Q's

- I dont mean to be annoying but i dont know where else to turn for advice.

 

I am ready now to issue court proceedings against Studio

- however i have a couple of concerns which i'd really appreciate your help with.

 

 

I have had a response to my LBA

- it was just a basic fob off letter which said that the credit ref info was correct as the account was in default, and that as payments had been made late that the charges stand blah blah blah.

 

Firstly as the court fee is over £400

- its a lot of money to us,

i can pop it on my Fathers credit card

but i don't want to go down this route if there is zero chance of a good result.

 

 

I know no one can say either way but as you know the forums inside out can you advise on how the land lies at the moment, are people winning with charges reclaims?

(Believe me i have scoured the forums but most threads seem not to be updated with the end results - nothing recent i could find anyway).

 

Secondly - (if my memory serves correctly from my bank charge reclaim back in 2006) i had to complete some info on the court claim 'Particulars of the claim'

- how can i ensure i have the correct wording and get my point across to someone who knows nothing about it i.e. the judge in as few words as possible (i understand space is limited).

 

Thirdly and lastly - how do i ensure I have the correct address/contact info for Studio in order to complete the claim, their latest letters show a customer relations address but i don't want to get it wrong and cause delays.

 

Thank you

 

Maudy
