    • I have just read the smaller print on their signs. It says that you can pay at the end of your parking session. given that you have ten minutes grace period the 35 seconds could easily have been taken up with walking back to your car, switching on the engine and then driving out. Even in my younger days when I used to regularly exceed speed limits, I doubt I could have done that in 35 seconds even when I  had a TR5.

    • 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.

    • 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.

Hi Ell-enn,

 

Thank you so much for this. Does it matter which order I number the letter as? And should I include all attachments that were included with that letter, even though those documents are already included with the application?

 

I sent email to the court asking if Britannia had applied for eviction order and provided the case number. Have received an email back saying that the fee will be £255 with notice or £100 without notice. They have asked me to provide case number again and more information to confirm a fee. Not sure if that means they haven't got an eviction date set yet, although the solicitor stated they had applied for eviction on 3rd June and no eviction date received in post yet. Are the court allowed to confirm via email if an eviction date has already been set?

 

Will be online again as soon as I can.

Yes it does matter what order the documents are numbered as they are referred to in the statement in order - have you read it ?

 

You've asked  "And should I include all attachments that were included with that letter, even though those documents are already included with the application?"   -  what documents already included?

 

The only attachments I have listed for the statement are:

 

1. Doctor's letter

2. Copy of letter that you sent to the Claimant - 1 page!

3. Details of estate agent - proof of property being advertised for sale

4. Budget sheet showing future income.

 

Please don't start adding a load of documents - this will make the application too long for the judge to read - it needs to be concise and to the point .

The letter I sent to lender included the doctors letter, 3 links to online marketing of property and one set of printed property marketing particulars / brochure.

 

I now have 3 separate estate agent brochures (including the one I sent to lender with my letter) which I will include with N244 along with copies of contracts and marketing report. What I meant was, should I staple a full copy of letter I sent to lender (including the documents I attached to their letter) as appendix 2, even though their will be duplicates of the doctors letter and some property details in the N244 application already?

 

My doctor is also doing a fit / sick note up to mid August. Should I also include this with N244, offering normal monthly payments + £50 towards arrears starting from 30th August (30th is normal repayment date)? Do you think that would help and do you think the judge might make an order for those payments to commence from 30th August? 

 

I could also include a photocopy of prescription medications if that would help? Should I also include that with N244, or just take a copy with me incase the judge asked to see it?

 

I have heard again from the court that the warrant has been issued, although a date has not yet been set by the Bailiffs. They have advised that they have a duty legal advisor available on Wednesdays for possessions and that I can request a weds hearing when I make payment.

 

I have a family emergency at the moment, so will organise my papers again and be back online as soon as I can. 

 

Once again, really appreciate your help and could never have done this without your support x

You will only have 10 minutes in the hearing to get across what you want to achieve so we don't need the judge only reading half of it.

 

the very very minimum additional 'evidence' to back up each of your points in that letter ell-enn has done.[one piece of evidence' backing up each point only]

 

the rest is for LATER, if you succeed and get a full hearing

 

please don't hit Quote...just type we know what we said earlier..

Don't duplicate anything.  The estate agent's info is covered by number 2.  You could attach the fit note to the doctor's letter under number 1.   Leave everything else as it is please.

Take any other documents with you to the court on the day of the hearing.

Request a Wednesday hearing and make sure you get there early so you can ask the duty legal adviser to accompany you into the hearing,

Still no eviction date received. No sleep at all last night worrying about what would happen if eviction was on same day as hearing and the fear of my cats being run over if the locksmith opened front door.

 

I have included 3 different estate agents brochures/contracts with N244 - Is that ok or should I just include one? Would you be able to check my budget sheet is ok?

If the house is being marketed by 3 agents then yes, put all 3 in - I assume they all have pictures and details of your property?

I'm happy to check the budget sheet - do you have the proof of your income to go with the budget sheet?

If not too much trouble, please could you also mention in statement that being evicted would be extremely detrimental to my health and would also likely result in bankruptcy

 

Do you think my spinal injury should be mentioned in statement (it was problems relating to previous surgery for that which led to reduced income from being unable to work, resulting in falling behind with payments). The nervous breakdown I suffered was after falling into arrears, as a direct result of extreme stress caused by harassment from creditors, with the main stress being the immediate threat of repossession. This has been further exasperated by Britannias' constant failure to offer or accept any affordable repayment options. Throughout this I have also suffered personal bereavement. 

 

My GP has stated a return to work date for August on fit note - Should this date be added to statement as a return to work date with offer to make normal monthly payments plus £50 towards arrears from August? 

I paid Britannia £10 on 4th June and may be able to make a payment of £50 next week reducing arrears further, plus a further payment of £50 in July, with normal monthly payments + £50 towards arrears from August onwards. Should that be added to statement also?

Also do you think anything should be mentioned in the statement about the property being inhabitable when I purchased?

Do you think it might also be worth mentioning something in the statement that I have pets in the property and their safety is paramount to me? Eviction would be detrimental to their well-being and could place their lives at risk. 

Do you think it might also be worth asking the judge to allow a period of 6-12 months to sell instead of 6?

 

Really appreciate your help with this and never could have come this far without your support.

If we add all that to the statement then it will be far too long - it needs to be one page only supported by the attachments.  I will add the issue of being detrimental to your health and put it on here in the morning.  Pets are not a consideration in this kind of case, unfortunately.

 

As I said before,  the judge can only make a decision regarding the ability to pay the lender,  some circumstances will be taken into consideration but they won't be interested in hearing every little detail of your life, again unfortunately

Thank you - In addition to adding that eviction would be extremely detrimental to my health, please could you also mention that it would probably also result in bankruptcy - Due to the substantive financial losses that I would incur. 

 

In first paragraph of statement it currently says that that the repossession action has worsened my condition, so I just thought re-wording that paragraph might make it a bit clearer that the pre-existing spinal injury is not related to the nervous breakdown (which was caused by the repossession action). I can take proof of past spinal surgery/injury to court with me if needed. Or if you think best to leave that paragraph as it is? 

 

I have added the fit note to the doctors letter. I thought a return to work date would be better to help the judge, so that they know when I am proposing to be back at work & making payments?

 

I thought I had to mention in statement any payments that had been made to lender since falling into arrears? Will the judge already know what the current arrears amount is?

 

Am I able to PM the budget sheet to you?

Just leave the statement as it is - I did mention in an earlier post that you could include the fit note with the doctor's letter so you will have to number it 1 also.   The judge will be aware of the arrears figure.

 

You can't affix documents to a PM

I am including the fit note but do you think it would be a good idea to also put in statement a date for me to offer to commence normal repayments + arrears? 

 

Do you think August will be acceptable to the judge for me to commence repayments.... And obviously pay anything else I can to the lender in the meantime? I am really worried.... 

 

Would presenting a return to work date in the statement give the judge power to make an order from that date?... I'm just really worried that if I don't put a clear offer of payment and a date in the statement that the judge might not be able to do much?... I also really want to avoid having to return to court. I thought you said before that a specific date to commence normal payments & offer towards arrears would be better? What would the likely outcome be if I don't specify any return to work date?

 

It's easier for me to email budget sheet - I have seen your email address on here before but cant remember where.

Once again, you're overthinking everything, and asking me to predict outcomes for different scenarios which I can't do.

 

You are affixing the fit note from your doctor and also the budget sheet with proof of future income - that is sufficient.  The judge will read the statement and when he comes to where there is a number (i.e.No 1 - the doctor's letter and fit note)  he will turn to that number and read it, and so on throughout the statement.

 

I don't think you will have seen an email address for me on here - in any case I don't use a forum email.

I'm just really confused. I thought you had said that judge would only consider allowing me time to sell property if normal payments + something towards arrears were offered going forward. 

 

I will be returning to work on 17th August. My repayment date is 30th of every month, so could we also add to the 4th paragraph of statement the 30th August to resume proposed payments?

 

I'm just really worried from what you have said previously that my chances of success will be worse without specifying this date in the statement. Can the judge then consider making an order from that date?

 

Considering there is only a 10 min window, I thought it would be better to set out this date / proposal in the statement.... Just thought that is what you had stated before.... sorry if I have misunderstood, but just want the best possible outcome. 

 

All of the posts I have read I have not been able to see any budget sheets, so thought they were private?

You're confusing yourself!  the judge will read the fit note with the date to return to work.  You keep asking for stuff to be put in the statement but the evidence is in the attachments - I don't know how much clearer I can make this and frankly I'm getting tired of reading post after post of the same thing.

I can only help you with the N244 I can't predict any outcome given your circumstance,  now you can either work with me on the application or you can go it alone.  I'm sorry, but that's all I can do.

I will be back on line in the morning.

Thank you so much for the support and reassurance - I really do appreciate.

 

My nan has been rushed to hospital with suspected heart failure and my dad also in hospital with heart problems following lung cancer & chemo...

 

Will be back online as soon as I can.

 

Just wanted to say please accept my sincerest apologies for any confusion, repeated questions & worries.... Again, I am extremely stressed and exhausted and tearful and also on several medications. I do struggle with text, but really am doing the best I can and am so sorry if that comes across in any confusing manner.

 

Just really don't want to lose my home and once again, I am so grateful for your help and support, which never would have been possible had I not found this forum xx

I do understand you are stressed and that it is an extremely worrying time for you however, there is nothing to be gained by repeatedly going over the same stuff again and again,  it will not change the situation and we need to draw a line under all this repetition and get on with finalising the application so it's ready to post after the court has rung to take payment.

 

I have affixed the amended statement to reflect some of the things you wanted to say - so now you need to assemble your pack as follows:

 

N244 - completed and signed

Statement - signed

Copy of Doctor's letter & Fit Note - numbered 1

Copy of the letter you sent to them - numbered 2

Estate agents details - numbered 3

Budget Sheet with proof of future earnings - numbered 4

 

If the documents are too thick to be stapled you will need to put them into a ring binder or similar to ensure they do not become separated.   Send by Special Delivery  - to be signed for by 1pm next day.

Also ensure you have a photocopy of it all to take with you to court - again in a binder with any other documents you want to take.

 

Please confirm when you have it all ready - so we can do one final check.

Thank you so much - I will get everything organised and ready to send.

 

Still haven't received an eviction notice - Should I wait for that before sending so that the fee is lower and will I need to attach copy of eviction warrant to N244? From what the court said in emails, I think if I send the N244 before receiving eviction date, the fee will be higher - Do you know if that's correct?

 

Will the claim number to put on statement be the same as claim number on possession order, or will the eviction warrant have a different claim number?
