    • 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 everyone,

 

i was wondering if someone could advise me, I have a claim against Barclays and have put in a county court claim and they filed an "acknowledgement of service" giving them 28 days, this was on 20.10.06 so their 28 days was up 17/18 .11.06. I havent heard anything from court or the bank, am i too early to do anything or do i need to contact the court?

 

If anyone could advise me what to do i would apprechiate it,

 

thanks

Hi Jenny and welcome.

 

First Question is Where did you file? was it MCOL?

 

If so the timings are 1- You file and that's day Zero.

 

Legally Courts accept that 5 days is the accepted time for it to be served.

 

Then the bank have 14 days from then to acknowledge - thats 19 days from the date you filed initially.

 

Now, once they acknowledge, they have a further 14 days in order to dfend the claim. That's a total of 33 days from your date of filing.

 

If you did file at MCOL, you need to log in and see what the state of the claim is. It would have initially been marked as "served" then "acknowledged" then "Defended". A day or so after the bank defends, the court send you an Allocation Questionnaire and a copy of the Banks' defence.

 

Come back to this thread to up-date us.

To follow my case progress, click here to see where I'm at right now.

Hi, Thanks for the reply but i still dont fully understand, I didnt use mcol, i went through my local CC (leeds). The letter i got from court said that barclays have 28 days to file a defence, this has passed. Should i wait a while longer or contact the courts?

 

thanks jenny

Hi Thankyou both for your replies, I have just phoned the court and the clerk said they have filed a defence, but all the bank charge claims are going to be dealt with by mercantile court because of a high court ruling? I've had a look through posts about mercantile court and i think this is a good sign. The clerk said just to wait. Is there anything i should do?

 

thanks again

Hi, Just to update on the type of bank barclays is.

My husband went to use the cash machine today and it retained his card. We are overdrawn by £40 but have a £250 o/d limit!! We had to go into branch but got no help from them. luckily i opened a parachute account for my wage so we have that to live on, and we are getting my husbands wage transferred too. The personal adviser @ barclays said they would manage our account so if we wanted any money we would have to go into branch and explain why we needed money!!!! Not gonna happen. All of this coincides with me stopping my wages going into the account and us reaching the court stage..... funnily enough. Plus the advisor tried his best to convince me how legitimate the charges are. Bless him.

 

Still have not heard when its going to mercantile court, got to carry on waiting.:sad:

Thanks Susieq, I am thankfull that i opened another account for my wage, barclays have always allowed us to go way over our limit which has a knock on effect so when we get paid we are over again!!! I made sure i got my point across to the clerk. They'll know next month when my husbands wage doesnt go in their account!!!:D

Cheers

Hi Caro,

 

I worked out my interest by Total of claim @ 1790.00 x 0.00022 = 0.39

which i thought was pence per day x 2409days since first charge = 939.51.

I got this method off another post, I thought it seemed too easy LOL. No matter who's method i try i can't seem to get my head around what to do!

Hope you can help,

Jenny:?: :?:
