    • In terms of "why didn't I make a claim" - well, that has to be understood in the context of the long-standing legal battle and all its permuations with the shark. In essence there was a repo and probable fire sale of the leasehold property - which would have led to me initiating the complaint/ claim v SPF in summer 19. But there was no quick sale. And battle commenced and it ain't done yet 5y later. A potential sale morphed into trying to do a debt deal and then into a full blown battle heading to trial - based on the shark deliberately racking up costs just so the ceo can keep the property for himself.  Along the way they have launched claims in 4 different counties -v- me - trying to get a backdoor B. (Haven't yet succeeded) Simultaneously I got dragged into a contentious forfeiture claim and then into a lease extension debacle - both of which lasted 3y. (I have an association with the freeholders and handled all that legal stuff too) I had some (friend paid for) legal support to begin with.  But mostly I have handled every thing alone.  The sheer weight of all the different cases has been pretty overwhelming. And tedious.  I'm battling an aggressive financial shark that has investors giving them 00s of millions. They've employed teams of expensive lawyers and barristers. And also got juniors doing the boring menial tasks. And, of course, in text book style they've delayed issues on purpose and then sent 000's of docs to read at the 11th hour. Which I not only boringly did read,  but also simultaneously filed for ease of reference later - which has come in very handy in speeding up collating legal bundles and being able to find evidence quickly.  It's also how I found out the damning stuff I could use -v- them.  Bottom line - I haven't really had a moment to breath for 5y. I've had to write a statement recently. And asked a clinic for advice. One of the volunteers asked how I got into this situation.  Which prompted me to say it all started when I got bad advice from a broker. Which kick-started me in to thinking I really should look into making some kind of formal complaint -v- the broker.  Which is where I am now.  Extenuating circumstances as to why I'm complaining so late.  But hopefully still in time ??

    • 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,
Please help, I do not know how to ask a question in the forum. 

I recently received a pcn from vehicle control service for stopping in a bus stop (marked with red line), for dropping off my husband lasts for less than 30 secs. 

I have done the same to pick him up too, so I may receive another pcn soon. 

What should I do? Should I ignore ?

While you're waiting for the experts to arrive, you could do a search of CAG [white search box in the red strip at the top of this page] for Liverpool airport. VCS operate there too, we have a few threads about it.

You probably won't be ignoring it forever, but please don't respond to them until the guys have had a look.

 

If it gets as far as court, and a lot of cases don't, and in the unlikely event that you lose, then as long as you pay what the judge decides, it can't affect your credit score.

 

The parking regulars will tell you more. They may ask you to go back and take photos of the signs at the airport - is this possible for you?

If you do as suggested you will see that Airports are usually governed by Bye laws, that trump any claim VCS might think they have do as suggested and read those threads about Liverpool Airport, these clowns would send their camera car to demand details from someone on Roller Blades or a cyclist  who stopped to read their signs.

We could do with some help from you.

First of all, do not consider appealing as VCS dont do appeals and the IAS arent honest brokers either.

 

If you read up on private parking you will see that all motorists are given a minimum of 10 minutes grace period  ( lots of reasosn for this) so this demand fails to fufil this obligation but the IAS wont care but a judge will because they are interested n the law, not making money for dishonest reasons.

 

Let us consider "no stopping" and similar signs. how can that be a contract that offers terms to park?

 

As said, airports arent "relevant land" as far as the POFA goes so they may be subject to byelaws that prohibit you from stopping anywhere you like but that has nothing to do with VCS and they cant demand money as the airport co has to drag you up in front of a magistrate and any fine slapped on you goes to HMG, not simple Simon.

 

That is why they are more than happy to tell lies to get you to pay them.

I have just scanned over the byelaws and you will find a couple of clauses that relate to vehicles but they require a constable to move you on or chuck you out so again nowt to do with VCS.

 

they will claim that they are entitled to offer contract because their employers says so but we go back to the "relevant land" bit and that means that at least they are not allowed to obtain your keeper details and also they are supposed to fall the fuzz to move you on, not take pictures of you, that may well breach S48 of ther Terrorism Act as it covers airports, railway stations etc and I cant see the govt giving them a letter saying they are now in charge of terrorism prevention.

 

yes please for the piccies of the entrance to the land and also of any signs that are where you stopped and elsewhere such as roadways and car parks so we can see what it is they say they are offering and where that applies to.

Hi, 

it was on 25/07/19 and according to the time on the pcn it lasts less than 10 seconds.

 

I was literally stopped the car to drop off and drove forward . 

Thanks 

 

Hi, 

What can I mention in my appeal?

Any legislation could support me for stopping in the bus stop for few second for the purpose of dropping off?

I think it would help you to understand how these people operate if you read some other threads about airports that have VCS as their parking company. As far as I can see, you haven't ready any other threads so far.

 

 

There are others and there's information on the Parking Prankster's website.

you dont appeal, didn you read that advice? If you appeal you make it easier for them to sue you, not harder  and they arent going to give a fig about your appeal anyway as they know they are wrong but that is how they make money, by lying and bullying.

 

and we want the TIME of the event, not the fact you were there for 10 seconds. The NTK should have a from and to times for the "parking" .

as referred to by HB, this si the same for LJA and other airports that VCS have been allowed to run amok at, they do their client no good whatsoever

 

if you read up on ALL airport thread you will see what happens, they are all covered by their own byelaws and VCS have no authority and their claim that no stopping is a parking contract doesnt win them friends in high palces but they do sue to try and get you to fret over that and pay up and they then get the extra wonga because they have added court costs they wont be paying

You remove the protection of POFA if you do that, also this is a Parking Event they claim it's a prohibition and they will get stuff wrong, why complicate things by ignoring advice from people who have swatted these parasites?

 

If they were stupid enough to try court you should be able to give them a shock as they have lost cases on those facts at Liverpool Airport.  Byelaws are in force at airports so VCS cannot do diddly. apart from lie and cheat to get the money.

 

Read up on VCS airport threads on CAg you will get the picture.

We could do with some help from you.
