    • 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.

Hey,

im hoping to get some advice on a debt that just won't go away.

It started when I got a contract phone from 3 uk and the phone didn't work properly.

I asked for a replacement but they said they could only repair so it went off for repair for a week and I got stuck with one of there lender brick phones.

 

Then I got it back but it still had the same problem so again it went for repair and I got the brick lender phone again.

Week later I got it back and still was broken, so i went in saying replace this or I'm ending the contract.

They offered to send it away again I refused and took all add ons off the contract but they wouldn't let me stop the contract itself so i told them to stick the contract and left. That was about 2010 when I cancelled and refuse any more contact with them.

 

Not long after lowell bought the debt and hassled me every week or 2 with colourful letters for years.

I refused to have any contact with them at all.

 

After years the letters got less and less until they stopped.

Last letter I think was 5 years ago and they went quiet.

 

A couple of weeks ago I got a very polite email from bw legal on behalf of lowell asking how they can help me settle the debt with lowell.

I instantly sent back a statute barred reply because the debt was so old.

 

I got a reply from them saying lowell took it to court in 2014 so not statute barred.

I received no court judgement sent to my address.

 

Now they are politely asking me to fill in a means form or do it online but i dont want to do anything to reactivate this debt for even longer.

Can anyone give any advice I just refuse to pay on principle if anything.

My main question is

can they keep taking this same debt to court,

 

i held lowell off for years i can hold bw legal off for another 2 years if they don't take it back to court.

 

I don't care about credit ratings as I don't like using credit I'm a cash only person.

Maybe we could discuss the possibility of overturning the judgement – getting a set aside – and then challenging 3 for their breach of contract.

 

Maybe you could give us more information. Have you found a copy of the judgement yet?

 

Why might it have been that you hadn't received a copy of the claim or any of the preceding papers? Might you have moved home and not inform people of your address?

When you say that "Lowell found me…", You make it sound as if you deliberately didn't inform anybody of your new address in order to escape the problem. Would you like to tell us a bit more?

 

Have you found a copy of the judgement on the CC J registry trust website which was posted for you above?

I have took no interest in lowell's colourful letters in years and made no contact with them at all but every other important e.g. bank driving licence ect I informed I moved and even poll register so i wasn't hiding.

Cant check ccj until tomorrow when I get paid as my bank is empty.

I'm unemployed and I don't get benefits so live day to day.

Well if you really have no money then I suppose that you could continue to ignore them and hopefully get to 6 years beyond the CC J after which time it will be unenforceable. On the other hand, you say that you refuse to pay on principle – and if principle is that important to you then you could investigate the possibility of having the judgement set aside and then attacking O2 – although it would depend on what kind of information you can get from O2 if you send them an SAR.

 

If you did want to overturn the judgement them because you are unemployed, you would be able to get a fee waiver and with the new GDPR regime about to start on 25 May, the SAR would be free as well.

 

It's up to you how you want to play it and how much trouble you want to go to.

Assuming there is a CCJ (and that still should be the OP's first step, to check): It won't be unenforceable at 6 years. It will just become "only enforceable with the leave of the court", and also (potentially more relevant!) drop off the OP's credit report.

 

If it wasn't enforced for 6+ years on grounds of the OP being impecunious, the judgment creditor tried to keep in touch with the OP and the OP then won the lottery, I'd expect a court to allow enforcement after 6 years on the grounds it was 'just and fair'

If it wasn't enforced for 6+ years, the OP kept in touch with the creditor, and the creditor could have enforced it but just didn't bother : I'd expect a court to refuse permission if they went back for permission at 6+ years.

Don't send that letter. I think that you are badly confused as to your various rights.

 

What are you trying to ask for?

the original signed agreement i signed with 3 uk phone service, when i bought that broken phone.

Instead of me proving i don't owe money i want them to prove that i do.

This is a pretty old debt that's now been past to a 2nd collection agency and i want them to put some effort into giving me what i ask for.

There is something wrong with this debt because i've dealt with lowell about this debt before and they was never polite like bw legal

if i found out someone had a debt and wrote to them don't they have a right to ask me of proof i have a right to ask for that money? thats what i want to ask them.

most agencies don't no much about the background of the debts they try to collect

yes don't send that please

gather info FIRST.

 

there is NO signed agreement so its pointless asking for that.

and anyway their need to now produce anything is long gone

the CCJ trumps that need.

 

you need to ring northants bulk and ask for a copy of the claimform AND the CCJ by email pdf.

 

then we can start to sort things out.

ah sorry

i thought you referred to northhampton bulk centre courts where most cases are judged online and they have no judges there.

a place where you find most ccj's against people from debt collection agencies and most councils

. if they do have a ccj against me in 2014 then i was sure it will be from there.

you wont find a record there

but you will on trustonline

but you must use the address the CCJ was registered against

 

doesn't matter what the age is, if its a default non contested judgement it will have been issued from northants, but they have no online records for you to search at all.
