    • I can only speak from personal experience. But a similar thing happened to me. Seriously dented door.  I made the other insurance pay. They regarded it as a write off. Took the money, replaced the door. Never heard anything more about it.    Except clearly someone sold my details to claims company, because I got loads of calls in bad English for a few month's 
    • The incident was 03rd March 2024 - and that was the only letter that I have received from MET 15th April 2024 The charge I paid was at the Stansted Airport exit gate (No real relevance now - I thought this charge was for that!!).   Here is the content of email to them (Yes I know I said I was the driver !!!!) as said above -  I thought this charge was for that!! "Stansted Airport" Dear “To whom it may concern” My name is ??  PCN:  ?? Veh Reg: Date of Incident: 03rd March 2024 I have just received a parking charge final reminder letter, dated 10th April 2024 - for an overstay.  This is the first to my knowledge of any overstay. I am aware that I am out of the 28 days, I don’t mean to be rude, this feels like it is a scam My movements on this day in question are, I pulled into what looked like a service station on my way to pick my daughter and family up from Stansted airport. The reason for me pulling into this area was to use a toilet, so I found Starbucks, and when into there, after the above, I then purchased a coffee. After which I then continued with my journey to pick my daughter up. (however after I sent this email I remember that Starbucks was closed so I then I walked over to Macdonalds) There was no signs about parking or any tickets machines to explains about the parking rules. Once at Stansted, I entered and then paid on exit.  So Im not show where I overstayed my welcome.. With gratitude    
    • Just to enlarge on Dave's great rundown of your case under Penalty. In the oft quoted case often seen on PCNs,  viz PE v Beavis while to Judges said there was a case for claiming that £100 was a penalty, this was overruled in this case because PE had a legitimate interest in keeping the car park free for other motorists which outweighed the penalty. Here there is no legitimate interest since the premises were closed. Therefore the charge is a penalty and the case should be thrown out for that reason alone.   The Appeals dept need informing about what and what isn't a valid PCN. Dummies. You should also mention that you were unable to pay by Iphone as there was no internet connection and there was a long  queue to pay on a very busy day . There was no facility for us to pay from the time of our arrival only the time from when we paid at the machine so we felt that was a bit of a scam since we were not parked until we paid. On top of that we had two children to load and unload in the car which should be taken into account since Consideration periods and Grace periods are minimum time. If you weren't the driver and PoFA isn't compliant you are off scot free since only the driver is liable and they are saying it was you.

    • 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.

look up why the UAE banks use companies like this to chase their debts and you will soon see that the UAE are fed up with the international community because no-one will enforce their debts for them.

 

This is because the terms clash with all of europe's consumer law and so on so the chances of your debt being enforceable is very slim.

 

The Govt out there is trying to change how the banks work but they still cant get their businesses to get their heads around things like privacy law so no european court will show an interest as yet.

 

Your lawyer might well be spending rather more time (for this read YOUR MONEY) on this than they need to when a straightforward sod off would suffice.

 

On speaking to our solicitor he feels that this isn’t enforceable but is not straight forward, could really do with advice from anyone who’s has been through this as I too am sure this isn’t enforceable but can’t find anyone who knows this law to argue the fact as of yet

So the latest is this.

 

It seems that this all boils down to whether the UAE statute law is enforceable in a UK court of law,

 

whilst there is no reciprocal agreement there is whats called a memorandum of guidance which is designed to help the UAE in these matters.

 

As of yet it has not been tested in a court of law and the problem we have is that this seems to be uncharted waters and seems like it would depend on the Judge. Thoughts please guys

Googled this:- 'memorandum of guidance uae law'

 

Indeed - pretty much sums it up -

 

First statement of the 'Memorandum of Guidance':

 

“This memorandum has no binding legal effect. It does not constitute a treaty or legislation, is not binding on the judges of either party and does not supersede any existing laws, judicial decisions or court rules. It is not intended to be exhaustive and is not intended to create or alter any existing legal rights or relations.”

 

think post 28 sums things up nicely..

Well said - pretty much sums it up in a nutshell

as already said, the UAE banks and Govt dont do what is required to get a gold star from the British and EU legal and banking system so they cant sue in these courts. The UAE complain about this but until they force their banks to behave in a particular way, esp where debt collection and data protections apply, they wont get anywhere.

A guy came to the home address and caught my partner unawares and served it on her

 

Guys sorry ive been away for quite a while, a member of my family is very ill.

 

The latest is this, our second court hearing was adjourned,

saying we need to get a UAE law expert in to help decide if the UAE law is enforceable for this debt in this country.

 

From what ive read and researched this doesnt seem the case

but they are now trying to pressure us into making a settlement payment including a contribution to their costs !!!.

 

We dont have the money to pay for a law expert or the settlement

im wondering whether to just see where they take it ?

 

Your thoughts would be appreciated

Would a UK law expert not be better as a UAE law expert couldnt say if this was enforced in the UK? They only know UAE law? Not UK law (not sure I’m making sense) but this makes no sense really? It’s only a foreign judgement that UK law could enforce?

law not extra-territorial but if you dotn fight SD then the scheming lawyers can win by default as they can in any other civil claim.

It is not the judges job to determine what is fair, courts replace trial by combat so if you turn up at a sword fight without a sword you may well be correct but you wont win.
