    • 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.   Signed I am the Defendant - I believe that the facts stated in this form are true XXXXXXXXXXX 01/05/2024   Defendant's date of birth XXXXXXXXXX   Address to which notices about this claim can be sent to 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.

Happy New Year to you.

Ignore that letter too. This is DRP sending you a letter that appears to come from Gladstones to frighten you into paying. if it had come from Gladstones they would have asked you to pay them rather than the Drips since they would then get the commission on it rather than DRP.

 

Crafty b.....s aren't they. Questionable legality of course.

 

It is also why they advise you not to pay Gladstones as they know nothing about this letter.

they both refer to the same event so a single response is needed.

 

Dear Will and John,

as you like to misquote the BEAVIS decision in an attemt to hoodwink people into thinking your demands have some substance I will refer you back to that judgement and remind you that a grace period of AT LEAST 10 minutes shouild be given by an operator.  Abiding by this  is a requirement for a KADOE contract so your clients will know they have no reasonable cause to obtain my keeper details and no cause for action in this matter so  it is their choice, drop the demand  as it has no real chance of success for or risk a counterclaim for breach of the DPA/GDPR.

I am confident there are other compelling reasosn why a claim would fail but this answers the point regarding reasonable conduct under PAP

 

no need to spell out all of the reasons why they have no contract, if they are stupid enough to sue you they will learn at their cost

Hi Guys,

they replied to my letter.

Please see the attachments - the whole thing seems to be a waste of everyones time.

 

To refresh your minds, when this "contravention" happened, i tried every effort to pay for additonal time, but as I was in an alcohol and drugs test and i couldnt leave the room to top up the ticket. Also, their phones systems didnt work to pay over the phone.

Sniff the envelope it came in and you will get a waft of bullsh*t.

 

If they were honest they would have either told their client to drop the matter or used you without this further begging letter.

they cant guess about what you were up to and the time of leaving becomes irrelevant if their client issues a demand within the grace period.

 

However as they are also the IPC in a summer frock they want to look hard in front of their client or they may start to question what they are getting for their money.

 

Doesnt change the law and make Beavis decision your friend.

 

No real point in responding, they will do whatever they decide to do but they know it is a big risk for them.

 

Well no it isnt, Gladdys get paid however badly they do, it is their clients who are taking the risk

Will and John,

who are Gladstones

are also the owners of the IPC

so all you have is a begging letter where they are wearing their summer frocks and bonnets to write them as it is hot on the first tee.

 

they also like to push the point that somehow you owe £160 when they know that isnt true but the SRA wont chuck them out for conspiracy to commit fraud.

 

There are less honest lawyers about though, my local vicar visits them in Lewes prison.

Ok thank you, gents.

 

I've done the following:

  • registered and submitted my acknowledgment of service on the Moneyclaim.gov.uk online website (using your instruction above).
  • drafted a letter that i'll send this coming Monday.

Just to be sure, do I await the details from the Solicitor AND THEN submit my defence and counterclaim online (before 9th December 2019)?

 

Should I consider getting legal advise?
