    • Hi T911 and welcome to CAG. As you say, an interesting screw up. So much for quality control! Anyway, our regular advice is to ignore all of their increasingly threatening missives... UNLESS you get a letter of claim, then come back here and we'll help you write a "snotty letter" to help them decide whether to take it any further with their stoopid pics. If you get mail you're unsure of, just upload it for the team to have a look.
    • Thanks @lolerzthat's an extremely helpful post. There is no mention of a permit scheme in the lease and likewise, no variation was made to bring this system in. I recall seeing something like a quiet enjoyment clause, but will need to re-read it and confirm. VERY interesting point on the 1987 Act. There hasn't been an AGM in years and I've tried to get one to start to no avail. However, I'll aim to find out more about how the PPC was brought in and revert. Can I test with you and others on the logic of not parking for a few months? I'm ready to fight OPS, so if they go nuclear on me then surely it doesn't matter? I assume that I will keep getting PCNs as long as I live here, so it doesn't make sense for me to change the way that I park?  Unless... You are suggesting that having 5 or so outstanding PCNs, will negatively affect any court case e.g. through bad optics? Or are we trying to force their hand to go to court with only 2 outstanding PCNs?
    • That is so very tempting.   They are doing my annual review as we speak and I'm waiting for their response once I have it I will consider my next steps.    The debt camel website mentioned above is amzing and helping to. Education me alot    
    • Sending you a big hug. I’m sorry your going through this. The letters they send sound aweful, and the waiting game for them to stop. But these guys seem so knowledgable and these letters should stop. Hang in there, and keep in touch. Don’t feel alone 
    • In my time I've never seen a payout/commission from a PPC to a landlord/MA. Normally the installation of all the cameras/payment of warden patrols etc is free but PPCs keep 100% of the ticket revenue. Not saying it doesn't happen mind. I've done some more digging on this: Remember, what your lease doesn't say is just as important as what it does say. If your lease doesn't mention a parking scheme/employment of a PPC/Paying PCNs etc you're under no legal obligation to play along to the PPC's or the MA's "Terms and conditions". I highly doubt your lease had a variation in place to bring in this permit system. Your lease will likely have a "quiet enjoyment" clause for your demised space and the common areas and having to fight a PPC/MA just to park would breach that. Your lease has supremacy of contract, but I do agree it's worth keeping cool and not parking there (and hence getting PCNs) for a couple months just so that the PPC doesn't get blinded by greed and go nuclear on you if you have 4 or 5 PCNs outstanding. At your next AGM, bring it up that the parking controls need to be removed and mention the legal reasons why. One reason is that under S37(5b) Landlord and Tenant Act 1987,  more than 75% of leaseholders and/or the landlord would have needed to agree, and less than 10% opposed, for the variation to take place. I highly doubt a ballot even happened before the PPC was bought in so OPS even being there is unlawful, breaching the terms of your lease. In this legal sense,  the communal vote of the "directors" of the freehold company would have counted for ONE vote of however many flats there are (leases/tenants) + 1 (landlord). It's going to be interesting to see where this goes.

    • 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.

any bailiff would be a court one

and they aren't commission based and are quite 'friendly'

 

 

if they did appear then with the documentation/story you have it wold be obvious theres some 'clerical' error here

so they shouldn't be a problem to you.

With enforcement of local authority issued penalty charge notices, any bailiff enforcement would be via private sector enforcement agents and not by a County Court bailiff (who by the way, is still referred to as a 'bailiff'.

I am just worried about if bailiff visits my property as I know they it can be tough as I heard the stories of vehicles getting clamped and goods taken away and rough attitude etc.., is there a way I can protect my side? I have also read stories where people start parking their cars somewhere else until the issue gets resolved.

In your particular case, if your application is to be accepted, the Order for Recovery will be revoked and the local authority will re-issue you a new Notice to Owner allowing you to either pay at the earlier discounted rate or to appeal the penalty.

 

This was the reason why I spent so much time trying to clarify exactly when it was that you advised DVLA that you had left property A (in 2014). All that I was able to get from you, was that you had updated DVLA but that you did have details of when this was. You were however able to ascertain that you have a V5C that correctly exhibits that it was updated you address details with DVLA in August 2016 (see my post number 46).

Depends on what time the Traffic Enforcement Centre received your PE2 and PE3. If they received it before 4pm yesterday, then your application would have been processed yesterday and the local authority advised by the end of the day.

 

As yesterday was a Friday, the local authority may well not receive instructions to cease all bailiff enforcement until Monday morning so it would be best to park your car elsewhere until Monday. After that, all bailiff enforcement is placed on hold for approx 6 weeks while the local authority (not the Traffic Enforcement Centre) make their decision on whether to accept the reasons given by you for not receiving all notices.

 

What the local authority would be looking for, is to see whether you took steps to ensure that your address details were updated as they should have been. With all notices from the council apparently still going to an address that you moved out of in 2014, this could count against you but there is very little that we can do about that.

 

Just out of curiosity, are you absolutely certain that all notices had been going to Property A and NOT to Property B? Who informed you of this?

when I received the notice from bailiff company called "newlyn" I called them and the representative mentioned address A.

 

I actually sent the email to relevant local authority on 6th may 2017 as soon as I received the notice and also attached utility bill and council tax bill to show that I have been living at this address even before the contravention

 

 

but didn't hear any thing back from them yet

 

 

also sent PE 2 and PE 3 to TEC yesterday but after 4pm.

 

 

I also sent the V5C scan copy to local authority yesterday.

You should have also provided a copy of the V5C with your PE2 and PE3 to the Traffic Enforcement Centre.

 

Can I just ask a question. On the V5c copy that you sent to the council, it would be showing your current address (Property C) and date (August 2016) when your address was changed. Does it also show on the V5C, the previous address as being that of Property A or...... Property B ?

@ Bailiff Advice - what will happen if my request get rejected just in case? so that I can prepare.

 

You should expect to receive a decision in around 6 weeks. If the application is rejected, you are given a period of 14 days in which to request that your application be 'reviewed' by a District Judge. Most importantly....(and this is why I attach so much importance to the wording on Out of Time witness statements) a 'review' is very limited in that the District Judge will only be able to consider what you had put on the form and the local authorities reply. He will be looking at whether the decision that had been made (to reject) your application was the right decision or not.

 

A request for a 'review' is made by way of an N244 Application and unfortunately, the court fee for a 'review' ranges from between £100 and £255.

 

The '£100' route is where the the decision is made without the need for you to attend the court hearing. The '£255' route is applicable if you decide that you would like the 'review' to be undertaken in open court and for you to address the District Judge in person.

 

If you decide not to seek a 'review', then the warrant will become 'live' again and bailiff enforcement will recommence.

The V5C doesn't show any other address apart from my current one. I have sent V5C to both TEC and local authority. Is it possible to get update from TEC on the PCN?

 

You mention an update from TEC. What is it that you require?

 

I provide assistance with many Out of Time witness statements ever day, and what the local authority (or Dart Charge or Transport for London) will be looking for, is to see whether the applicant had taken the appropriate steps to ensure that the relevant authorities (in this case DVLA) had been advised of a change of address in a timely manner. It was for this reason, that I spend so much time trying to get information from you that you had updated your address details to Property B when you moved out of Property A.

You cannot expect the enforcement company to be informing you that they have been instructed to put enforcement on a temporary hold.

 

I am sure that I have already posted this before,

but when you email your forms,

you should receive an email back from the Traffic Enforcement Centre confirming rceipt.

 

The only time that another email may be received from TEC is in cases where there may have been a problem processing the forms.

 

this is usually only when the wrong forms have been used (TE7 and TE9 forms instead of forms PE2 and PE3).

  • 3 weeks later...

Yes.....check your dates !!!

 

I calculate that it hasn't even been 3 weeks since you submitted the Out of Time application to the Traffic Enforcement Centre. You stated a number of times that you emailed the forms on 12th May....and we have had one bank holiday weekend since that date.
