    • Thanks for posting the CPR contents. i do wish you hadn't blanked out the dates and times since at times they can be relevant . Can you please repost including times and dates. They say that they sent a copy of  the original  PCN that they sent to the Hirer  along with your hire agreement documents. Did you receive them and if so can you please upload the original PCN without erasing dates and times. If they did include  all the paperwork they said, then that PCN is pretty near compliant except for their error with the discount time. In the Act it isn't actually specified but to offer a discount for 14 days from the OFFENCE is a joke. the offence occurred probably a couple of months prior to you receiving your Notice to Hirer.  Also the words in parentheses n the Act have been missed off. Section 14 [5][c] (c)warn the hirer that if, after the period of 21 days beginning with the day after that on which the notice to hirer is given, the amount of unpaid parking charges referred to in the notice to keeper under paragraph 8(2)(f) or 9(2)(f) (as the case may be) has not been paid in full, the creditor will (if any applicable requirements are met) have the right to recover from the hirer so much of that amount as remains unpaid; Though it states "if any applicable ...." as opposed to "if all applicable......" in Section 8 or 9. Maybe the Site could explain what the difference between the two terms mean if there is a difference. Also on your claim form they keeper referring to you as the driver or the keeper.  You are the Hirer and only the Hirer is responsible for the charge EVEN IF THEY WEREN'T THE DRIVER. So they cannot pursue the driver and nowhere in the Hirer section of the Act is the hirer ever named as the keeper so NPC are pursuing the wrong person.  
    • This is simply a scam site.  It's been shown to be a scam in the national press and on national TV. Please fill in the the forum sticky and upload the invoice you've received. In fact what you have is an invoice, not a fine, a private company doesn't have the power to issue fines.  
    • Moved to the Private Parking forum.
    • Good afternoon, I am writing because I am very frustrated. I received a parking fine from MET Parking Services Ltd , ( Southgate park Stansted CM24 1PY) . We stopped for a quick meal in Mcdonalds and were there fir around 30 mins. We always do this after flights and never received a parking fine before.  Reason: The vehicle left in Southgate car park without payment made for parking and the occupants southgate premises. they took some pictures of us leaving the car. i did not try and appeal it yet as I came across many forums that this is a scam and I should leave it. But I keep getting threatening letters.  Incident happened : 23/10/2023 I did contact Mcdonalds and they said this:  Joylyn (McDonald’s Customer Services) 5 Apr 2024, 12:05 BST Dear Laura, Thank you for contacting McDonald’s Customer Services. I’m sorry to hear that you have received a Parking Charge Notice following your visit to our Stansted restaurant.   We've introduced parking restrictions at some of our restaurants to make sure there are always parking spaces available for customers.   We appreciate that some visits such as birthday parties or large group visits might take longer and the parking restrictions aren't intended to stop this. If you think your stay will exceed the stated maximum parking time then please speak to a manager in advance.   Your number plate is scanned by our Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) system when you enter our car park, and then again when you leave. If you have overstayed the maximum time allowed, you will not be notified straight away- a Parking Charge Notice will be sent to you via the post.   If you feel that a Parking Charge Notice has been issued in error, please contact our approved contractors who issued the charge in order to appeal the charge. Unfortunately McDonald's are unable to revoke parking tickets- the outcome of the appeal is final and cannot be overturned by McDonald’s.   Many thanks for taking the time to contact McDonald’s Customer Services.   Can someone please help me out and suggest what I should do next?  Thank 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.

Hi,

A year ago I posted  a thread about my friends CCJ from Horizon Parking that she didn't know about and got by default.

She managed to negotiate with horizon and settle the bill and has a letter from the court saying that the hearing had been voted and that the judgement and registration is cancelled.

 


Recently she was turned down for a mortgage and found the CCJ is still on her file, she phoned the court and they told her she needs to apply for a dismissal, is this correct?

My advice is given through personal experience and is given without prejudice

Yes, she has a letter "General Form Of Judgement". from Chelmsford court which read

 

By Consent it is ordered that

1 The hearing on **** is vacted

 

2 The judgement of ****** is set aside and any registration is cancelled

 

3 No order of costs.


But the CCJ is still on there and the woman at the court on the phone told her to apply for dismissal, she must be wrong isn't she?   The point is in the Judgement, no registration

And for anybody who has the original issue of this thread,

following on from advice from the forum and site admin team,

 

My friend managed to get Horizon to agree to set the CCJ aside if she paid in full the £1200

- this along with the threat that she would apply to have the judgement set-aside anyway (she never received the judgement)

 

Moral of the story is don't ignore court claims in the first place, even if you think they are dodgy because they are photocopied badly and have read bad advice  on the internet from people who don't know what they are talking about.

So a £80 fine cost her £1200 and the effort of getting a CCJ removed

DX yes poor choice of word "fine" , I mean invoice. She ignored them as per advice from other people, she obviously played into their hands and ignored the court claim as well.

 

But genuinely, she never received the actual judgement.

 

Not sure how the £1200 was made up of, originally a fine for overstaying in Tesco metro car park on the high street and then court costs etc. 

 

I have had one in the same car park, I defended successfully on the fact the sign says for patrons only and overstaying 30mins will result in a fine. I claimed I wasn't shopping there, therefore I didn't overstay and was trespassing and not breaking a contract  therefore not in their power to sue for trespass.

I have a bit of time earlier than I thought.

I haven't read this thread very closely but do I gather that they they obtained a county court judgement against you and then you have managed to negotiate with them by paying them the judgement sum in return for them agreeing to set aside the CCJ?

£1200 seems steep, and is double the magic number to get Bailiffs involved, what was the claim for what was on the original Claimform POC?

We could do with some help from you.

Hi Bankfodder, no the claim was against my business partners wife, she just ignored their letters and claims for penalty fees.  

 

She took advice from the internet or other people, not sure who, but when she received the court claim she thought it was fake as it was badly photocopied claim form, so she ignored it.

She runs a shop and someone had the same issue at the same time, they went to get a loan and found she had a CCJ from this, so my friends wife then checked her credit file to find one also, neither of them actually received the judgement (or so they say).


So I advised her to negotiate a set-aside with Horizon if she paid in full, otherwise she was going to go down the route of having it set-aside based on not receiving the judgement and then fight the case.

 

So they agreed, I believe her friend managed to do the same.

God knows how their fees ended up at £1200 for parking in Tesco, but she needed it off as she wanted to get a mortgage.

Thank you.

i'd like to know much more about the story but in principle the claimants have committed an abuse of process and it seems to me that you've got a good basis for getting your money back and getting the judgement set aside.

Also, doing a bit of mischief.

If this appeals to you then please let me know.   It won't be straight-forward but it would be interesting and a bit of fun and it would deliver a slap to horizon and other parking companies who have tried the same thing. 

Excel is one which has tried this and we are currently in the middle of dealing with it although we are waiting for information from DVLA before we proceed. 

let me know what you think. I'm afraid that my access to the forum is patchy over the next week or two but there is no hurry once you decide but you would have to take a decision.

I don't see any particular downside although  you would be risking a claim fee in the event that you lost the case which I think is probably unlikely

Hi Bankfodder, I will ask her if she is interested in that, she isn't desperate for money and does lead a busy life including caring for her mum who has latter stage Huntintons disease, but will put it to her.

 

She phoned the court today about removing the CCJ as it was set aside, she was on hold for an hour and 20 mins before hanging up.

you may find that it cost £100 to get the set aside and also if the judge thinks that you are simply trying to clean up a credit file, it could still be refused. Be aware

Hi Bankfodder, just to confirm that it has already been set aside, she made an agreement with Horizon that if she paid the £1200 in full it would be removed.


The issue is that despite the court Judgement frommChelmsford stating that it has been and no registration should take place, it is still on her file.


A women from the court advised her to apply for a dismissal, why would she need a dismissal she already has a General form Of Judgement which

1 The hearing has been vacated

2 The Judgement is set aside and any registration is cancelled

 

This from Chelmsford court
