    • 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.

Thanks....

 

 

So if you look at the CH1 at point 8 it refers to payment arrangements and as stated you may enter into a payment schedule as may be agreed...but as it stands the charge is purley there to secure the debt.

 

It may be worthwhile doing a DSAR request to get all the data with regards to the CCJ  and if in fact it was set a side.

It may also be worthwhile actually considering a payment plan (an affordable manageable amount ) to keep them at bay as it is possible that they could go for an order of sale should they become impatient.

 

Regards

 

Andy

OK - I will do the DSAR. Thank you.

 

So even if HFC have sold the debt to Cabot, Cabot can still make me sell - even if it is not their name on the deed?

 

If the DSAR shows judgement was not entered or it was indeed set aside if entered, does this put me in a better position? I have offered them £20 pm at the moment.

Marlin Europe are now Mortimers clients in which the letters refers to.Its quiet easily changed on the register to the new legal owners of the debt.

 

Couple of further questions for clarity .....

 

Has the main mortgage been cleared now or are you still paying ?

Is there any equity in the property if there is still an outstanding mortgage ?

Have you never made any payments to this debt since the VC was placed ?

If not and there is no judgment in place the debt could possibly be statute barred now without a judgment.

We could do with some help from you.

what do you mean you think there was a CCJ that got set aside in favour of a VCO?

this thread dates back to 2009

there no mention of anything before about a CCJ.

have you any details of it still

like who was the claimant?

its rare for HFC to do court anyway

but as the VCO is in their name they must have done.??

 

can you go onto the .gov.uk land registry site and get the exact wording please.

 

edit:sorry this post took 1 hours to show

Only if there is a CCJ...hence the DSAR to see if any CCJ was issued and or set a side.

 

Charging Orders have no connection to statute of limitations.

I did go through the Weightmans to check but it was not 100% clear as they said they had a CCJ but then they said it would be removed upon signing a VCO. However, I could not find any communication from a county court to prove a  CCJ had been entered. 

 

I will upload the relevant documents later. 

 

I should like to offer my heart felt thanks for everybody's kind , swift help.

OK - I've been through Weightmans and will go through the others but as far as I can see, they said that judgement was entered in June 2007 (but nothing from the court) but I have attached a letter saying they would set it aside should I sign the VCO.

 

Since I did, the judgement must have been set aside.

Does this change anything?

Very much so....at the set a side date....the clock started to tick again on the debt with regards to statute of limitations...so the debt that the VC is secured against is now statute barred.

 

Now to the VC ..not quite as simple ..

 

Once a Charging Order is granted, a record of this will be held at HM Land Registry for 12 years, although this can be removed at the discretion of the creditor once the order has been settled in full. 

 

An equitable charge is not extinguished after expiry of the limitation period in s. 20(1) of the Limitation Act 1980. Section 17 of that Act has no application,

 HFC Bank Limited was liquidated  28 Feb 2013

So the copy of the CH1 you uploaded was provided by Weightmans.....you need to go Direct to the LR and request a copy of your deeds and check the precise wording of the charge and also if they submitted form AP1 with their CH1.

Very very interesting indeed. Thanks again for the detailed information.

 

I downloaded a copy of the title register yesterday from this link: https://eservices.landregistry.gov.uk/eservices/FindAProperty/view/QuickEnquiryInit.do?_ga=2.168944801.1247026297.1554289800-1499767881.1549007574

 

from where I copied over the charge information.

So do I need to fill in the deeds request form from this link?:

https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/official-copies-of-documents-registration-oc2

 

 

and "and also if they submitted form AP1 with their CH1."

 

Where could I find out this please?

 

At the risk of sounding repetitive, as you know, I made them an offer via email of £20 a month a couple of weeks ago - do you not think that I have acknowledged the debt here or is that irrelevant as as you say, the debt is statute barred now?

Here it is:

 

To save time, I procured the document from here:

https://landregistry-deeds.co.uk/land-registry-oc2/ which was more expensive but wanted to get the document ASAP.

I asked if there was more but this was the reply that I received from them:

"

Yes this is the entire charge document that is filed with the Land Registry.

Form FR1 is not applicable – it is only used when registering a property for the first time.

 

Form AP1 is the application form that accompanies any other application to the Land Registry, it merely specifies the fee paid and the applicants details – it is not itself a legal document and contains no provisions relating to the charge.

An AP1 is not filed as it is purely an administrative form, only the charge itself is filed."

 

So do you think there is more?

Do I wait for the deed pack from LR to come back?

I filled in form OC2 by the way.

Well as stated its hard to remove the Charge unless the claimant agrees to which they wont.....but they are probably not aware that they shot themselves in the foot by setting a side the judgment and relying on the charge to secure the debt.There is no judgment...the debt is statute barred now....as the set a side stated the clock ticking again with regards to limitation.

 

So where do we go well if you dont intend moving forget it...if you do ever move contest the charge for the reasons stated......having no Judgment anchored to the Charge is tantamount to having a car with no engine. 

 

They have to prove the debt to collect on the charge.

OK - so I do not need to pay anything back as per their demands.

Should I write them a statute barred notice if they start to demand it or perhaps threaten me with court? Presumably they can't take me to court now or force the sale if the debt is statute barred?
