    • How does one obtain the permit? The permit team number is only open between the hours of 9am to 3pm Mon - Fri. It says on the website, To obtain an additional 2 hours, the driver must pay a tariff of £3.00 + booking fees in person at our Security Hut, is that how you get the permit also, from the security hut? What a rigmaroll that would be but maybe just another step to take to try and catch people out?
    • Anotheruser0000 bear in mind that not all Judges are equally versed in the PoFA regulations. Fortunately now most of them are but sometimes a Judge from a higher Court sits in who is well experienced  in Law but not PoFA. and so they sometimes go "offkey" because their knowledge can raise a different set of arguments and solutions. It does seem particularly unfair  when the decision is so  bad . it can also be that in some situations the motorist being a lay person is not sufficiently know ledgeable to be able to counter a Judge's decisions in a way that a barrister could.
    • The argument about the date of receipt is now dead because the PCN  does not comply with the wording  of the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012 Schedule 4.  First reason Section 9 [2] [e]  "state that the creditor does not know both the name of the driver and a current address for service for the driver and invite the keeper—(i)to pay the unpaid parking charges;" Second Reason Section 9 [2][a] "specify the vehicle, the relevant land on which it was parked and the period of parking to which the notice relates;" All your PCN does is mark the time you entered and left the car park. It does not include all the myriad things you do in between-driving into the car park, looking for a parking space-perhaps a disabled space or  parent and Child place@ getting the children or disabled person out of the car then going shopping. Coming back; loading the car with shopping [, getting the children or disabled into the car, taking the trolley back to the store; driving to the exit perhaps stopping to let vehicles/pedestrians cross in front of you etc. so subtracting the driving times from before and after parking can make quite a difference from their time to the actual period parking time. So the upshot is now that only the driver is responsible for paying the PCN and the keeper is not liable at all even if the name of the driver is never known by Nexus so well done for not appealing. You obviously want to keep it that way to make it very difficult for them to win in Court if it ever goes that far. Although your question is now moot since  the same objective has been achieved by the non compliant PCN [ie no keeper liability] just  about the only way to dispute the timing of the PCN would be if one kept the envelope and there was a discernible date stamp on it that did not match the date on the PCN. There is a new Act coming out [and it cannot come quickly enough ] and one of the things required is that parking companies will have to prove the date of sending out their PCNs. We are not the only ones who sometimes doubt the veracity of their dates particularly as the later it is sent [unlawfully] the shorter the period motorists have to benefit [?] from the reduced payment. I haven't seen it on your posts but do you know how long you are permitted to park for free?
    • I was so annoyed and frustrated about the fact this case was lost it's been floating around my head all night. Dave962, are you sure that's what the Judge said? .... It doesn't make sense. Did the judge in fact dismiss the case on the grounds that the defendant did not make an appeal within 28 days? Effectively telling the PPC about the error entering the registration number and providing proof of payment at that time? To me, that's an important point.

    • 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.

Just an after thought this evening, is all this defending done by post?

 

Do you need to actually go to a court hearing? My wife would struggle with that and find that very stressful.

 

Thanks.

Hi all,

 

I hope I've done this right. Today received the court papers and afater looking about on the site I've filled in the information as I think you require.

 

Do I still send CPR 31.14 with BW Legal not responding to my PAP letter or does this still need sending?

 

I honeslty have no idea how you write a defence after reading quite a few posts, I feel very lost with this.

 

Many thanks

Are you sure this is statute barred? If the last payment was the end of February, then presumably you missed the following month's payment? Isn't that the moment that the SB clock starts (from the moment a cause for legal action is created)?

 

 

 

" The debt is for Vanquis Bank (Credit Card) and was defaulted on 31/10/2012 - no payments have been made since before this date and its approaching being statute barred "

Sorry but I don't understand what the OP means by saying no payments were made "since before it was defaulted in Oct 2012": I assume he means since. The last payment was made at the end of Feb 2012 - so assuming payments were up to date at that point then the SB clock only starts when the first payment is missed, no? Or have I got this wrong?

First contractual payment missed was Nov 2012

How so, if the last payment made was Feb 2012?

 

CAG guidance says a debt is SB "where no payment or acknowledgment of liability has been made for 6 years from when payment was due and not made." So when was the payment due and not made? Not 28 February, as the payment was made.

 

Am I missing something obvious? Apologies if I'm being dumb.

My first post with date was going from information on credit reference agency regarding the default date and the fact I knew nothing had been paid.

 

I didn’t get exact date until I had guidance from this forum to ring vanquis to find out.

If last payment was 28th Feb then yes it wouldn’t of been paid end of March. The payment was only for £10 so it couldn’t of been a minimum payment on a balance of £1600+ Possibly just a token payment trying to show willing in difficult times.

 

So is it or is it not SB then?

 

They also didn’t reply to the PAP letter asking for more information.

yes you are

cause of action [allows the creditor to default etc etc ] has nothing to do with statute barred date and never has

And the claim was issued March 18 so therefore its 6 years and 1 month......but a creditor very rarely issued a default notice for 1 missed payment and possibly issued the default notice 3/4/possibly 6 months later so in the eyes of the claimant the cause of action could vary by up to 6 months .

 

 

Sooo and I dont know if its already on the thread...was you issued a default notice.....and what date was it issued ?

Defence.

 

1. The Claimant has not fully complied with the PAPDC (Pre Action Protocol) having filed this claim early during the 60 days allowance and failing to respond to the letter of claim PAPDC changes of the 1st October 2017.It is respectfully requested that the court take this into consideration pursuant to 7.1 PAPDC

 

1 The Claimant's claim was issued 6th March 2018

2. The date last payment made was 28th Feb 2012

 

3. The Default Noticed was issued 31st Oct 2012 served several months after the initial breach thus the cause of action delayed by several months and the Limitations period prolonged to 6 years and 7 months which in effect allows the creditor to stop time running and the creditor having effective control of when a limitation period begins or even starts to run.

 

4. Therefore the Defendant contends that the Claimant's claim so issued is a claim in contract and is statute barred pursuant to the provisions of section 5 of the Limitation Act 1980. If, which is denied, the claimant contends that the Defendant is in breach of the alleged contract, in excess of 6 years have elapsed since the date on which any true cause of action for breach accrued for the benefit of the Claimant.

 

5. The Claimant's claim to be entitled to payment of £x or any other sum, or relief of any kind is denied.

We could do with some help from you.
