    • 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. 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.

    • 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.

Backdoor Lowell CCJ -old Orange Mobile debt - was already Statue Barred

Hey,

 

Got a bit of a strange one here

- I have today received a green letter from Lowell Solicitors saying that I have not paid the £50 instalment on a CCJ they have obtained on a VERY old Orange mobile phone account.

 

This is the first letter I have ever received about this

 

naturally, it made me check my credit file where low and behold

- a CCJ has been placed under my old address (not lived there in almost 7 years).

 

This letter says that I have got until the 11th December to make the £50 payment or they will recommend enforcement action.

 

My issues are as follows.

 

1) This is the first thing that I have heard about this (genuinely) and did have an old Orange account at my old address back in 2008 after falling on hard times. No payments have been made on that account since we moved in Feb 2011 and I have not knowledged anything.

 

2) The CCJ which was obtained in Oct 2017 is under my old address

so does that mean that any papers I would have needed to see for challenging etc have gone to that address?

 

3) Can a CCJ be obtained and enforced on a statute barred debt?

 

Hopefully, someone can help me out here and give me some advice.

 

Cheers

 

Scott

this is why you never move without informing you creditors

regardless to if a debt is not owed or is statute barred

 

debt buyers will go for a CCJ at the old address

as they know they'll get a default non contested judgement

whereby no human ever sees or checks anything

and its simply rubberstamped.

 

however.

if you have written proof it was statute barred at the time of issuance of the claimform.

the you can set aside the CCJ but the cost is £255

 

unless you chance you arm and ring the claimant and ask if they'll set aside by mutual consent FOC.

Cheers - as for written proof, well we moved out of that address almost 7 years ago and no payments etc were made along with no acknowledgement.

 

I would write to EE and do a SAR to get the proof that it's over 6 years old if that helps?

 

My question would be how to handle Lowell who want to get their first £50 payment on some arbitrary instalment plan by tomorrow.

 

I have a copy of my credit file from Sept 2017 and it's there is nothing outstanding from EE / Orange showing on there? even searched the last 4 digits of the account number Lowell claim this related too.

 

Upon closer inspection,

there was an account which was opened in 2011 and Lowell placed a default on in 10/04/2013

- the default was for £279 and that was the last I heard of this.

 

I have only found this as I went through a stage of trying to get as much "bad data" removed off my credit file after a few poor years and kept quite a bit of data on my hard drive.

 

There is no way that any payment or acknowledgement has been made since 2011

- of that I am sure.

 

Seems odd that the default would be for £279 yet the CCJ is now for £1354.35.

DCA's cant register defaults only the original creditor can

so

its within 6yrs

so

go ring EE

quote the account number

and get them to send you details of the last payment date

 

if they start sprouting about they cant its sold

tell then they marked your file with a default on 10/4/13

and as this is within 6yrs

 

under

the prevention of fraud act

AND

the Data Protection Act

 

they must hold data for 6yrs.

ask to speak to a supervisor

 

else you'll be straight on to the Information Commissioners Office

starting a complaint and will be seeking financial compensation

they are HCEO's

they mainly do only business debts.

 

IF lowells get any bailiff involved

it will be most probably be a county court bailiffs

they are your friends

esp when you tell them it was already statute barred

and you are going for a set aside.

 

there is NO right of entry on civil consumer debts passed to bailiffs

Hey,

 

Spoke to EE (finally) who confirmed that no payments have been made since pre 2011.

 

A Default was registered in 2013 by Lowell NOT EE which is a bit strange.

 

checked on one of my old credit reports and the default is definitely registered to Lowell.

 

Do I now complete the forms to set this debt aside or shall I speak to Lowell,

tell them what they already know and ask them to drop the CCJ?

 

Cheers all.

so do as post 2 then

chance your arm tomorrow and ring the solicitors

 

tell them you are going to set this aside as it was statute barred by the time they issued the claimform

and that you will claim back the £255 fee from them..

 

however you are prepared to forget about that if they will set it aside by mutual consent FOC now.

 

oh and one other thing

no EE registered the default when they sold the debt on..., a DCA cant do that .

 

their name is next to it as their name replaces that of the OC when they purchased the debt.

just so you are forearmed...

 

They will argue that the statute of limitation runs from the cause of action..

[thinking that you are not very well versed]... .they deem the cause of action as the issuance of the DN[defaulted date] not the missed payment and the statute of limitations states.....

 

5. Time limit for actions founded on simple contract.

 

An action founded on simple contract shall not be brought after the expiration of six years from the date on which the cause of action accrued.

 

Accrued is a word they tend to disregard when arguing their case ...which of course it accrued from the first missed payment date

 

just so you can quote this if needed.

 

it will make them look fools in court if they object to the set aside FOC
