    • 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.

    • 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.

Thank you in advance for taking the time to read my problem and any advice you can offer.

 

Two weeks ago, I went to a car dealer to look at cars,

I found one I liked and went about negotiating with the dealer in regards to price and part ex my existing car which already had finance to be paid off and a new finance to be taken out.

 

He goes out to the part ex...

does an assessment of the body and mileage.

Doesn't start the car.

 

Comes in asks me if I have history.

Yes I do and I've only had the car for 6 months as it's a two seater and life has since changed and need 4 seats.

 

We do a deal re money and he give me an order form that he says in must sign to order the car with lots of t and c that he doesn't explain.

Apparently one is that my car is sound.

Takes sizeable deposit of £1800 which I paid on credit card.

 

One weekend later,

I go to pick up car - am due some money from existing finance and this will alter previous paperwork which will be sent to me on Monday

- guy goes to car and again logs mileage,

doesn't even pop the bonnet, inspects bodywork.

Comes in, completes paperwork and away I go in new car.

 

I get half an hour away and I receive a call saying that dealer needs me to make payment for problem with part ex car at around £2k

- what problem?

I'm now in a panic as absolutely don't know what he is talking about.

 

Something with the steering being a problem.

Still actually don't understand.

 

I explain that I don't understand and he says that I have stated the car is mechanically sound on paperwork and that I must pay.

It is sound to my knowledge says I.

 

He send me a video.

I explain I have never seen car do this fault

- I drove it 50 miles to garage and no problems.

(For reader - genuinely I have not seen this problem in six months of having the car!)

 

I tell him I'm shocked and driving on loudspeaker on m25 .

Could we speak Monday and I might ask to have it independently looked at.

He says he'll get a tech to put it on ramp and speak Monday.

 

Received a call today

- he is saying it has an undeclared issue.

Something about it being banged at some point

- which never happened on my watch.

 

To make this fault happen - he has put my old car in drive, and full licked the wheel standing still.

 

He has my money from the finance refund on part ex and also my deposit refund hasn't been processed.

 

I've asked for a tech report and a list of what he claims is wrong and was very clear that I would like to seek advice before discussing as I know nothing about cars.

 

Where do I stand?

Please help as I really haven't ever had anything like this. I don't know if they are taking advantage because I am clearly not informed about cars.

tough on him

buyer beware reigns

 

I think hes trying to spoof you personally

 

don't think legally he has a leg to stand on.

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...

Although combined with the fact he has over £2k of my money its problematic.

 

Note - some of its on my credit card and some of it the dealer has from payout of my past finance.

 

Clearly I also want my money back...

 

Are these seperate issues? Can I demand my money back ... or do I dispute the cc charge and sing for the rest?

It may be worth your while to have one of those "first session free" deals if there is a local lawyer who offers this.

My first reaction about what you signed is that it is not valid by virtue of the fact that you have neither qualifications or experience to know faults on a car unless they are staring you in the face.

put simply,

he is the professional and it is down to him to show "due diligence" when inspecting your car.

What he is trying to do is find some method of paying you less by making up a story to hang on to money he owes you.

 

I am not being rude but your grammar on your posting suggests to me that english is not your native tongue

and I would reckon that he is taking advantage of your possible ignorance on this matter to bully you nto accepting a worse deal than already agreed.

 

You should stop trying to be helpful to this man and put it in writing that you have a contract that you are sticking to

and that if he breaks it then you are entitled to sue him for damages.

 

 

Let the finance co know that there is a problem with your purchase as you may be having that agreement terminated and have to start again if the garage has misled the finance co.

Ha! I'm English. No offence taken. Hahaha

I asked for details to be emailed to me - tech reports and whatever complete with cost breakdown so that I could take advice.

 

Not heard back! Spoke to a another dealer yesterday who said that due diligence and buyer beware Rule. Plus ... it doesn't matter what I sign - I'm not qualified to know and they are.

 

I will be calling them today to request my refund that was due on saturday. And if I'm not successful they will find themselves with a chargeback and a seven day notice demanding they credit my account with my finance balance.

 

Thanks for the help people!
