    • What do you guys think the chances are for her?   She followed the law, they didnt, then they engage in deception, would the judge take kindly to being lied to by these clowns? If we have a case then we should proceed and not allow these blatant dishonest cheaters to succeed 
    • I have looked at the car park and it is quite clearly marked that it is  pay to park  and advising that there are cameras installed so kind of difficult to dispute that. On the other hand it doesn't appear to state at the entrance what the charge is for breaching their rules. However they do have a load of writing in the two notices under the entrance sign which it would help if you could photograph legible copies of them. Also legible photos of the signs inside the car park as well as legible photos of the payment signs. I say legible because the wording of their signs is very important as to whether they have formed a contract with motorists. For example the entrance sign itself doe not offer a contract because it states the T&Cs are inside the car park. But the the two signs below may change that situation which is why we would like to see them. I have looked at their Notice to Keeper which is pretty close to what it should say apart from one item. Under the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012 Schedule 4 Section 9 [2]a] the PCN should specify the period of parking. It doesn't. It does show the ANPR times but that includes driving from the entrance to the parking spot and then from the parking place to the exit. I know that this is a small car park but the Act is quite clear that the parking period must be specified. That failure means that the keeper is no longer responsible for the charge, only the driver is now liable to pay. Should this ever go to Court , Judges do not accept that the driver and the keeper are the same person so ECP will have their work cut out deciding who was driving. As long as they do not know, it will be difficult for them to win in Court which is one reason why we advise not to appeal since the appeal can lead to them finding out at times that the driver  and the keeper were the same person. You will get loads of threats from ECP and their sixth rate debt collectors and solicitors. They will also keep quoting ever higher amounts owed. Do not worry, the maximum. they can charge is the amount on the sign. Anything over that is unlawful. You can safely ignore the drivel from the Drips but come back to us should you receive a Letter of Claim. That will be the Snotty letter time.

    • Yes, it was, but in practice we've found time after time that judges will not rule against PPCs solely on the lack of PP.  They should - but they don't.  We include illegal signage in WSs, but more as a tactic to show the PPC up as spvis rather than in the hope that the judge will act on that one point alone. But sue them for what?  They haven't really done much apart from sending you stupid letters. Breach of GDPR?  It could be argued they knew you had Supremacy of Contact but it's a a long shot. Trespass to your vehicle?  I know someone on the Parking Prankster blog did that but it's one case out of thousands. Surely best to defy them and put the onus on them to sue you.  Make them carry the risk.  And if they finally do - smash them. If you want, I suppose you could have a laugh at the MA's expense.  Tell them about the criminality they have endorsed and give them 24 hours to have your tickets cancelled and have the signs removed - otherwise you will contact the council to start enforcement for breach of planning permission.

    • 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 am knew here so I hope someone can assist.

 

About a week ago I got a court claim (from Northampton) from Lowell Solicitors for a debt with Three mobile.

 

Long story short,

went through a nasty divorce, family mobile contract in my name, due to "hostilities" I stopped the contract,

in the furore I forgot about it, thought ex had taken the contracts over.

 

Lowell have sent the matter to court and was wondering what I should do next?

 

I have sent in the acknowledgement of service and stated intend to defend in full,

however would be grateful for some words of advice regarding what I should do next please.

 

I have no income so this is a bit of a nightmare to me!

 

Hope someone can advise.

 

Thanks

Well done for Ack and defending in full.

 

How old is this?

 

How much is it for?

 

Were they sending any correspondence to your address previously?

 

Send a SAR to 3 and get a complete history of the running of the agreement, see how much of it is fees and contract.

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!

are Lowells chasing you in their own name or on behalf of 3?

 

If the former did you get a notice of assignment of the debt to them and if so when?

 

have you received annual statements?

 

are there any fees/charges applied to the account?

 

The SAR should tell you most of this if you dont have the paperwork but digging out what you do have may supply enough data to show their claim is for the wrong amount

Hi,

 

Thanks for your reply.

 

They did send me some letters, but don't remember an assignment. No annual statements. Not sure on fees, it has court fees on. I don't have any paperwork as much got lost in the divorce process and my depression (was suicidal and had a lot of counselling and pills).

 

Not sure what to do re the defence or communicating with Lowells as they have written me a letter advising that case is now with the court and would like me to arrange a payment plan.

 

Can I defend it?

Have you got all of the info you need regarding the contract?

 

If not, SAR 3 for the info.

 

CPR 31:14 for the evidence they intend to rely on in court too.

Hi dx100uk,

 

Thanks for our advice.

 

I have already done the AOS on MCOL and ticked defend all and left jurisdiction unticked and confirmed and exit.

 

Will get the CPR 31:14 done asap.

 

Sorry for being stupid, but I take it I should sign the letter for CPR31:14?

 

Lowell sent a follow up letter to me after the claim was issued advising me they are still prepared to discuss this and set up a payment plan.

 

Thanks once again.

 

Also should I send the CPR to the Claimant (Lowell Portfolio) or the solicitors (Lowell Solicitors)?

Hi,

 

Just another quick question, how do you get the Signguard Anti Tamper signature service to work?

 

I have clicked the link above, paid the £4 for the service, yet how do I log in to use the service? There is a password box, but how do I know what the password is? It hasn't been emailed to me and isn't my CAG password.

 

Totally baffled!! Please help.

Signguard have refunded me the £4 as I could not make it work, which is great.

 

CPR request has been sent recorded delivery.

 

Do I need to be preparing my defence and if so what should it say?

 

Thanks for your advice, it is a relief to know there are people out there who can help and the CAG website is great.

Hi,

 

I understand I need to file my defence on Tuesday (24/10), however have not received a reply to my CPR request.

I have drafted up the following (having searched other defences on CAG), how does this look?

 

1.The defendant entered into an agreement with Three mobile under account number XXXXXXXXXX

2. The defendant failed to maintain the required payments and the service was terminated

3. the agreement was later assigned to the claimant on 23/12/2014 and notice given to the defendant

4. Despite repeated requests for payment the sum of £349.49 remains due and outstanding

And the claimant claims

a) the said sum of £349.49

b) interest pursuant to s69 county courts act 1984 at the rate of 8% from the date of assignment to the date of issue, accruing at a daily rate of £0.077 but limited to one year, being £27.69

c) Costs*

 

 

1. Paragraph 1 is accepted. I have, in the past, entered a contract with Three Mobile, however I do not recall the exact details, nor do I recall any outstanding balance. I have requested the claimant verify the exact details of this claim by way of a CPR 31.14, however the claimant has not provided me with a copy of the agreement. To date, no statement of the alleged account has been received either which has also been requested.

 

2.Paragraph 2 is noted, again I do not recall any breach and I have never received the stated Default Notice. Again, to date, no statement of the alleged account has been received.

 

3. Paragraph 3 is denied. I do not recall having received a Notice of Assignment, as stated by the Claimant. Despite requesting the Notice of Assignment under CPR 31.14, to date this the Notice of Assignment has not been provided.*

 

4. Paragraph 4 is denied because the claimant is misleading the court in its pleadings. The defendant has denied the debt at each request as the claimant has failed to provide proof of the debt in the form of an agreement and a default notice. The claimants sole purpose in purchasing this debt was to litigate and secure a*county court*Judgment and therefore Pre Action Protocol was never followed correctly and should be considered in deciding the outcome of their claim.*

 

Therefore, the claimant is put to strict proof to:*

 

(a) show how the Defendant has entered into a Agreement/ Contract; and

(b) show and evidence the Defendant was sent a Notice of default and termination notice/demand notices; and

© show how the Claimant has reached the amount claimed for; and

(d) show how the Claimant has the legal right, either under statute or equity to issue a claim.

 

 

5. As per Civil Procedure Rule 16.5(4), it is expected that the Claimant prove the allegation that the money is owed.

 

6. On the alternative, as the Claimant is an assignee of a debt, it is denied that the Claimant has the right to lay a claim due to contraventions of Section 136 of the Law of Property Act and Section 82A of the*consumer credit*Act 1974.

 

All advice and input would be very much appreciated.

 

Many Thanks
