    • 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.

And the fact that they know they dont stand a chance in hell at winning, so they dont want to stand in front of a judge and explain things. Cabot and restons always want to get a default judgement. They dont enforce legit debts.

Its £100 without hearing and £255 with a hearing...the court will insist on a hearing for this type of application lift the Stay/Strike Out /Summary Judgment.

 

You need to gen up on CPR 24.....this application is separate to the actual court process...a bit like a kangaroo court ...judgment without trial...unless you get your statement in response submitted on time and deals with every point raised in their witness statement.

I've just gotten back from 2 weeks away again and will get this statement done and posted this week.

 

I have been looking at other witness statements etc and understand the layout.

 

BUT I am not too sure exactly what I am disputing now as the 92 page witness statement they have sent seems to show what I had asked them for.

Regards. 

 

Am I correct in thinking that my only leg to stand on is that the copy of the cca that they have sent me only has my printed name, no address, no credit card number and not even an agreement number?

Regards

Claim No. xxxx

BETWEEN:
xxxx

AND

Defendant
xxxx
_________________________________________

WITNESS STATEMENT OF xxxx
_________________________________________



I xxxxx, being the Defendant in this case will state as follows;

I make this Witness Statement in support of my defence dated 12 October 2018 and in response to the claimants claim dated 10 September 2018 which was submitted through county court bulk centre.

1. It is my understanding that the claimant is an Assignee, a buyer of defunct, disputed or bad debts, which are bought on mass portfolios at a much reduced cost to the amount claimed ...10p to 15p in the £1 and which the original creditors have already wrote off as a capital loss and claimed against taxable income. The claimant then issues on mass claims to circumvent and claim the full amount of debt to maximise profit.

2. As an assignee or creditor as defined in section 189 of the CCA this applies to this new requirement on assignment of rights. This means that when an assignee purchases debts (or otherwise acquires rights under a credit agreement) it also acquires certain obligations to the borrower including the duty to comply with CCA requirements (such as the rules on statements and notices and other post-contractual information). The assignee becomes the creditor under the agreement. This ensures that essential consumer protections under the CCA cannot be circumvented by assigning the debt to a third party.

3.Background

Save insofar of any admittance it is accepted that a contractual relationship did once exist between myself and provident. On receipt of this claim I could not recall the precise details of the agreement or any debt and sought clarity from the claimant. 

I requested:-

A copy of the original agreement
A copy of the terms and conditions as applicable at the time of the agreement
A copy of the Default Notice/ termination notice
A copy of the legal deed/notice of assignment showing the claimants legal right to take action

4.Disclosures

The claimant has since complied and disclosed various documents however:

the credit agreement they have supplied seems to be generic with no details of account number nor address to which it relates too.
This could just have been made up anytime at any point by anyone.

Statement of Truth

I, xxxxx, the Defendant, believe the facts stated within this Witness Statement to be true.

Signed: xxxx

Dated: 25th April 2019

Not at all , email the Claimants Sol a copy and possibly email your local county court a copy or drop it in.

 

Could do with a few tweaks though as this is an application to strike out your defence and separate to the normal process.

 

Add to your intro.....remove your existing

 

I ******, being the Defendant in this case will state as follows; I make this Witness Statement to oppose the claimant application for Strike Out/Summary Judgment in view of my defence submitted to the claim dated 11/08/2016 pursuant to CPR 24.5 (1) a&b.

And to your closing paragraph......

 

5.Having regard to the above it is respectfully requested that the claimant’s application is denied and the application for strike out/summary judgment is dismissed. In the circumstances the court is invited to conclude that there are reasonable grounds to suppose that I will be able to successfully defend the Claimant’s claim at trial.

 

Regards

 

Andy

WITNESS STATEMENT OF **********
_________________________ ________



I ******, being the Defendant in this case will state as follows;
I make this Witness Statement to oppose the claimants application for Strike Out/Summary Judgment in view of my defence submitted to the claim dated 10/09/2018 pursuant to CPR 24.5 (1) a&b.

1. It is my understanding that the claimant is an Assignee, a buyer of defunct, disputed or bad debts, which are bought on mass portfolios at a much reduced cost to the amount claimed ...10p to 15p in the £1 and which the original creditors have already wrote off as a capital loss and claimed against taxable income.

The assignee becomes the creditor under the agreement. This ensures that essential consumer protections under the CCA cannot be circumvented by assigning the debt to a third party.

3. Background
Save insofar of any admittance it is accepted that a contractual relationship did once exist between myself and provident.

I requested:-

A copy of the original agreement
A copy of the terms and conditions as applicable at the time of the agreement
A copy of the Default Notice/ termination notice
A copy of the legal deed/notice of assignment showing your right to take action

4.The claimant has so far failed to comply with my request.
I can only assume as this was due to the claimant not having any of the above mentioned documentation and issuing a claim in hope of an undefended default judgment.

 

5.Until such time the claimant can comply and disclose a true executed copy of the agreement complete with terms and conditions from inception which they refer to within the particulars of this claim and witness statement they are not entitled while the default continues, to enforce the agreement pursuant to section 78.6 (a) of the Credit Consumer Act 1974.

 

6.Having regard to the above it is respectfully requested that the claimant’s application is denied and the application for strike out/summary judgment is dismissed. In the circumstances the court is invited to conclude that there are reasonable grounds to suppose that I will be able to successfully defend the Claimant’s claim at trial.

 

It is therefore respectfully requested that the court dismiss this application.

Statement of Truth

I, ********, the Defendant, believe the facts stated within this Witness Statement to be true.

I would leave the bit about the assignee just paying a small sum for the agreement. I have heard about several remarks made about the debtor not accepting responsibility and blaming it on.XYZ.

No point in antagonising him/her. Strictly speaking, it is irrelevant as the debtor is not being asked to repay more than he owes. Just my opinion.

DO NOT PAY UPFRONT FEES TO COLD CALLERS PROMISING TO WRITE OFF YOUR DEBTS

DO NOT PAY UPFRONT FEES FOR COSTLY TELEPHONE CONSULTATIONS WITH SO CALLED "EXPERTS" THEY INVARIABLY ARE NOTHING OF THE SORT

BEWARE OF QUICK FIX DEBT SOLUTIONS, IF IT LOOKS LIKE IT IS TO GOOD TO BE TRUE IT INVARIABLY IS
